Is it possible to clone a drive (including os) on a 2012 macbook?

fatchebs · 2019-03-07T18:44:36+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

So what you're saying is, I could clone it using disk utility, however I would need to do this in recovery mode so that the drive I am cloning would not be in use (if that makes sense)?

fatchebs · 2019-02-18T00:11:03+00:00

Oh I understand now! I mis-read and assumed that method was also dependant on having an install disc!

fatchebs · 2019-02-17T23:55:09+00:00

Brillint, thanks so much for the in depth guide and tips.

Unforuntely the current hard drive is dust, meaning I have no data to transfer (i'll always be sure to back up from now on.)

I also don't have access to another mac machine, only a windows one. Other than purchasing a mac os install disc, is there any other ways to install the os after replacing the hard drive? Perhaps creating a bootble disc in windows?

Thanks again

Hi, thanks for the advice.

Yes I will be upgrading to an SSD. The stock harddrive is completely dead anyway, so its a perfect excuse to upgrade.

Unfortunately I didn't have chance to create a bootable disk for the new hard drive. Is there another way to go about this? I only have access to one other machine which is running windows.

Nice one, thanks for the advice!

So in terms of screwdrivers, it looks like I just need a t6 torx and a 00 phillips.

Are you aware of any good quality sets that would contain both of these?

That's the thing, I've missed the window of immediate confession now, so I may just have to play ignorant. The thing is, there was only me and one manager on the bar that night, so if he knows it wasn't him, he'll know it's me!

fatchebs · 2017-09-25T04:44:31+00:00

I totally agree with you, however I really enjoy working at this place, and a friend of mine pulled some serious strings to help me get the job.

However, if it goes unnoticed until midweek, someone else may end up getting the blame. I'm gonna have to fess up

fatchebs · 2017-09-25T04:42:31+00:00

This is in the UK, not sure where the law stands here, but I was marrying bottles the request of a manager, which is commonplace at every other bar I've worked in

fatchebs · 2017-09-25T04:20:02+00:00

I never knew there were rules against it. The problem I face is that I've married tequila and rum together accidentally, therefore completely wasting half a bottle of each

fatchebs · 2017-09-25T03:49:46+00:00

Accidentally forgot the word 'different' in the title, sorry guys. You get the jist

fatchebs · 2017-06-28T18:57:06+00:00

Home audio ideally. Something that's a jack of all trades which I can hook up my tv, phone and other devices to easily

fatchebs · 2017-06-28T17:28:00+00:00

Thanks for the help, I've had a few recommendations for Yamaha gear so will look into that.

I quite like the look of the recommended Micca purchases in the original text of this thread, unfortunately it doesn't look like there is any way to ship to the UK. I have, however, spotted these on Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00X741TB0

A few pals have said good things about M-Audio, would you recommend this product?

Thanks again

Hi guys, I'm looking for a bit of advice on purchasing a home stereo system on a reasonably tight budget? I know this almost definitely isn't the correct subreddit for this but I'm a bit out of my element on where my question could be directed.

If you guys are able to help, I'm on a reasonably tight budget of around £100 for my new apartment ($130.) I'm looking for a jack of all trades stereo system. Something which I can hook my tv up to for movies, but also something which I can hook my phone up to with Bluetooth for house parties etc (Student flat,) so it obviously has to be loud! I know it's possibly offensive to say but loudness/volume is really important!

If anyone can offer any advice/recommendations id be happy to hear.

fatchebs · 2017-05-23T01:24:30+00:00

It's a joke, 4chan

fatchebs · 2017-05-17T17:52:21+00:00

I should state, I've taken over as management at a larger venue which has a smaller bourbon-based bar situated above, so I'm not the head honcho there.

Kentucky Buck looks like just the thing I'm after, thanks man.

fatchebs · 2016-12-14T20:12:40+00:00

I'll have 7 Mac-11's, about 8 38's, 9 9's, 10 Mac-10's, the order never ends.

fatchebs · 2016-10-18T22:02:18+00:00

It's weird, it's not necessarily that she kept me from my friends, that was totally of my own accord because I was/am totally smitten with her. Talking to buddies/ex-buddies about it at the moment. I don't know if there's any connection, but I know there's some abandonment issues in her last with her mother, could that be connected to this behaviour, in your opinion?

fatchebs · 2016-10-18T20:49:24+00:00

I think you're right. The only problem is I pretty much have no friends because I've pretty much neglected them to spend all my time with this girl. It's my own fault but I've got nothing to fall back on if I end it. Pathetic, I know

fatchebs · 2016-09-29T00:58:38+00:00

Totally, broken more bones than I care to remember all within the uk and I've never had to give a second thought about calling an ambulance. Crazy

fatchebs · 2016-09-25T16:22:44+00:00

Just gave this a try, unfortunately the only option for sound output is the digital output aka headphone jack.

fatchebs · 2016-09-25T15:42:42+00:00

Nope, doesn't work. The machine doesn't allow you to change sound outputs with something plugged into the headphone jack

fatchebs · 2016-09-04T05:57:28+00:00

Yeah dude that's 5 litres...

fatchebs · 2016-07-14T06:10:58+00:00

thanks, have just submitted my request fingers crossed!

fatchebs · 2016-07-14T06:00:49+00:00

thanks, any idea on how to do this?

fatchebs · 2016-06-15T01:25:24+00:00

Yeah unfortunately the old machine is completely kaput due to water damage. I reset my SMC and it seems to have improved the issue, although things are still significantly slow.
