Thank you for this video. In 23 years of IT, I've rarely encountered Macs. I need to clone a Mac Book Pro's hard drive to an SSD and you made my day easier. I don't even have to install a 3rd party utility! Much appreciated.

Hi Gunner. Thank you for taking the time to put together this video. I used it to install and clone a new SSD in a 2013 MacBook Pro. Your method made much more sense than trying to restore using the Time Machine Back-up method. Your instructions were easy to understand and you took the time to explain things in detail. Thanks again. Great work!

OK... real talk GUNNER TIERNO... take a bow! This has worked to perfection on my Mac. Im a DJ in Vegas and got thousands and thousands of music files and videos. EVERYTHING popped right back up on the new Samsung 860 EVO 1TB. Faster & smoother. In the past I always used "Super Duper" and at the end of the whole process it would of taken me at least 1 day in a half. After all the files (iOS, my music programs, videos, etc.) I would have to my Serato do a "relocate" which took a whole day to do. Your process to only 2 1/2 hours and I didn't even have to "relocate" my files. Everything popped right back up on my Macbook Pro 2012, 16gb ram, i5 3.1, High Sierra, and now the Samsung SSD. My laptop now is super fast and powerful! I shared this with my other DJs around the country so Thanks! A+ ~DJ LAROSE ROYCE

@markkapp5672 3 года назад

Great video! I ran into a few problems that required extra steps while upgrading an early 2011 Macbook Pro. The new SSD I installed was 250GB while the HDD I cloned was 320GB. This required me to create a new partition on the HDD that was a little larger than the difference between the HDD and the SSD (i.e. 320GB-250GB=70GB Partition). I made the new partion 75GB just for a little extra room. The HDD now has a 245GB partition containing the macOS and my data plus a new 75GB empty partition. At that point I was able to clone the 245GB HDD partition to the 250GB SSD. Works great? Hope this may help someone with a similar problem.

The best OS X tutorial I have seen in all my years on RU-vid. I will still wait to hear back from you. I got adventurous and installed Catalina Beta. Its stopping my password program, so I want to downgrade, but how? I thought Time Machine would simply restore, but now I find its not a clone, only individual files. Would you do a safe reformat which would put it back to El Capitan (late 2015 5K) and then have to get it back up to Mojave, or is there an even better way? I subbed and clicked the notification.

@javicarles8343 5 лет назад

*SOLUTION* for those with *13" MBP mid 2012 with MojaveOS and internal HD formatted as APFS* Do the following, since Disk Utility won't work: 1) Connect your SSD with SATA-usb connection and erase it as the same format as your HD (APFS). 2) Download and install MojaveOS in your SSD. 3) Boot/start up WITH your SSD; you won't have nothing, it's clean and empty but with MojaveOS. 4) Open Migration Assistant and move/migrate ALL your data, apps, documents etc 'from a BackUp or from the same drive to this Mac'. It will basically move all your hard drive to your SSD, since you've started up/booted from your SSD, so your SSD is 'This Mac', if that makes sense. Will take a little while but will be done 5) The cloning is done! If u want to double check everything looks as with your HD, just start up your computer again with your SSD and see that your desktop, apps, everything is the same! (Should be! it was for me doing these steps) 6) Just turn everything off, leave for 30 minutes minimum and swap the drives internally. And that's it! It should obviously start with your SSD, which is your internal drive now and everything will be how it was before with your HD. Thanks for everything, Gunner Tierno!

For anyone struggling with an error when you restore in recovery mode: I was seeing an error message "restore process has failed" and when opening the details saw "could not recognize 'dev/(null)'", so I did some digging and found if you boot into internet recovery mode, you're fully disconnected from both the current HDD and the recovery drive. From there, I was able to "unlock" the Macintosh HD with your standard OS password and recovery seems to be going well

@Nunodual 4 года назад

Hi Gunner, Great help. I used to clone a hard drive to a ssd drive in Mac OS Catalina. It seems with Catalina, we need to proceed as you did, going into Recovery mode to clone it. However, I had a doubt that others may have. In Catalina, there are two partitions, with the almost the same name being the biggest called Macintosh HD - Data. I used this one to clone as a source and the disk utility created two in the ssd drive, like the source hard drive. So, if others have this doubt, copy the Macintosh HD - Data and it may work well as it did for me. Keep doing these great videos.

@Stimulatedsoulrec 4 года назад

Save a step. Plug in External Hard Drive - THEN Reboot your Mac to Recovery Mode - Then Erase your New Drive and continue with the rest of your procedures. Sam difference but most don't know you can reboot into Recovery mode at any time (assuming you have it). HINT. I always create a "disk image" of my computer and save it on an external drive. If your computer is running poorly or has too much junk on it - Once you have a clone or your hard drive - You might want to boot into recovery mode and ERASE your primary drive. Then Restore your Mac OS.(need Network connection). Once you restore your OS - you will have a clean operating system again and it may run like new again!

Thank you, thank you. I have viewed several other people doing this but only yours gave me the confidence to do it to my 2015 iMac. I have just finished fitting a 2TB Crucial MX500 and it works!!! It's about 10 times faster to startup and my office suite, which used to take about 15 seconds, started in 1 yes one(1) second. I'm very impressed. Thank you again

One of the very best instructional videos I have ever seen. Like your style but more importantly you have anticipated questions and answered them. Very good. Thanks.

OMG I found this by accident and I’m gonna definitely give this a shot. I’m already waiting for my solid state and when I do I will let you know how it went down. Thank you for a thorough instruction

Hey Gunner. Thanks for this GREAT vid. You made it very easy to follow. (Good Step-by-step guide) Can't thank you enough mate. I have an "exact" clone of my internal Mac SSD and didn't have to use Carbon Copy Clone or any other app. Thanks heaps!!! :)

amazing ! thank u i love that you gave the error example first, great tutorial

This really is a secret. Developing companies take advantage of unaware people to sell unnecessary software to clone. Great job and thanks!

Installed a Crucial SSD in my MacBook Pro 2013, followed instructions, everything went like clockwork. Great tutorial.

Brillant video and easy to follow thank you. When I try on my 2012 MBP I get an error message immediately with long list of codes. My hard drive is in following format so reformatted new SSD to suit Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted). Ive noted in some of the comments that file volt needs to be switched off, mine is on will that then remove the encryption status?

@Ripper13F1V 5 лет назад

Pure Awesomesauce. Extra-spicy too. Thank you, about to do this and need it laid out exactly like you did!

@6capone 4 года назад

Nice! I did this but with the SSD already installed and the bootable drive connected through USB. Worked like a charm👍

Best video on cloning without time machine that I've found! My man.

@mitch447 4 года назад

Hey man, awesome video but I had a quick question. If my mid 2012 MBP is formatted in APFS currently, should I change it to Mac OS extended Journaled? I'm replacing the current hard drive with a SSD but backing it up with just time machine and a separate external hard drive. Is it alright if i just match it with APFS when I switch to the new SSD?

you're an absolute lifesaver I've been through crazy amounts of videos trying to restore ,cope my old 2012 Mac hdd .. this work like a charm.. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Mac... subscribed:-)

@Hollyrock712 Год назад

I followed you step by step and brought my old 2012 Mac back to life !!! It was so easy ! You are the man !!!

How long should it take my computer to reboot after final step in recovery mode? I followed instructions to the tee on a 2014 Mac Mini. Clicked Restart & selected the external for the reboot and I now have the beach ball icon spinning for the last 15 minutes or so.

@vste8 4 года назад

Very well explained, direct and to the point instructions. Thank you

@lukelangpap2239 4 года назад

Ok so when you install the new ssd after it’s been cloned etc can you just start up the MacBook normally or do you have to go into recovery again?

@redboot3872 4 года назад

I have Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD - Data. Not sure what to do. Any suggestions will be most grateful. Thanks

@alexwroe9967 4 года назад

Did you find an answer to this? HD and HD - Data are from Catalina upgrade where HD is now read-only for start up files. I cannot proceed with this much needed move to a SSD boot disk until I know how this affects things. Cheers

This video is an absolute life saver! I know next to nothing about computers and I just successfully installed a new 500GB SSD into my old late 2010 Macbook Pro. Even though I'm still waiting on my new RAM sticks to come in...the computer is running considerably faster as is. I started and stopped this video all the way though the process and it worked perfectly. THANK YOU!!
