For example:

http://www.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp_c4#/video/bestoftv/2013/04/15/moos-pkg-thief-swallows-ring.cnn

the adverts play just fine but when the news content video follows it it's just a black screen, no controls or time.

Same with Safari and Firefox.

What's your experience?

Thanks,
Dave

Safari 5.1.8
Firefox 20.0
OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard
2011 Mini 2.7 GHz dual i7 / 16 GB / 250 GB & 750 GB

I once had the same problem, might have been SL, don't remember. I remember reinstalling the system software and safari. Did not have video issues after the reinstallation&#39;s.

QUESTION: What is the best way of replacing the stock hard drive on a MacBook Pro?

WHAT I HAVE:

I have a late summer MacBook Pro (Non-Retina) with a 500 GB 5400 RPM Hard Drive.

I use Time Machine with a 1 TB USB powered external drive as a back up.

I also have a 64 GB NiftyMini Drive in my card reader (great product by the way) which I can use as an alternative bootable drive.

WHAT I PURCHASED:

I just purchased a 1 TB Seagate SSHD (Solid State Hybrid Drive). I expect a significant increase in boot up speeds and the starting of apps on my MacBook.

I also have a 2 TB USB powered external drive.

SO HOW DO I....?

I want to do two things. (1) Replace the 500 GB 5400 platter drive with the 1 TB SSHD; and (2) Replace the 1 TB USB 3.0 external drive with a 2 TB USB 3.0 external drive to use on Time Machine (because my main drive will now be 1 TB).

So what is the best way of doing that? Should I clone my current drive and then copy the clone to the new drive? Can I do that if I have a 500 GB single partition drive and I am moving to a 1 TB single partition drive?

Do I restore from the most recent time machine back-up?

AND....

For the back up, I would love to keep the Time Machine back-up that exists on the 1 TB drive and copy it over to the TB drive and then continue on with the time machine. Can I even do that?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciate.

Gerry

It should help a lot

I would continue to use the 1 TB time capsule as my back-up and when it gets full just set it to continue to backup new and discard the old.
If I have not needed the old for more than a couple weeks it is useless to me. Old stuff I want to keep I store in the cloud. (BackBlaze)

Good luck

Bill

What do you plan to do with the old, 5400 RPM drive? You could get an external case and plan to put the 5400 in it as a spare drive.

If you plan to do that, then temporarily put the SSHD in the case, and clone the present internal drive to the SSHD directly. Yes, you can clone TO any drive with more space than the data you have to copy.

Also, with future backups, remember that amount of space you need depends on the amount of data you have to back up, and not necessarily the overall physical size of the drive being backed up.

I can't answer your Time Machine question, but I replaced the hard drive in my MacBook Pro with an SSD I got from OWC several months ago and followed method #3 here:
<http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/format2011/>

The problem with straight cloning is that unless you are using Carbon Copy Cloner, you won't be copying the Recovery Partition as part of the clone. (SuperDuper says that it isn't a good idea to copy it anyway.)

OWC also has excellent videos for the hardware part of this.

Okay, I subscribed to Match so I could have my previously purchased CDs on
iCloud but haven't the faintest idea how to use it. Can somebody help me
get started.

I don't want the music on my computer because it already has too much stuff
on it.

Thanks so much,

Doris

Did you click Store in the iTunes menu bar to select Turn on iTunes Match?
