![mgk - I Think I’m OKAY (with YUNGBLUD) (Sad Version) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7AC1uqQLIg4/mqdefault.jpg)
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.
You are a life saver, my SSD wasn't detected as boot drive because I didn't partitioned it as same as old one (MacOs extended journal), thanks to you I figured it out😎
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!
This video still takes the cake in September 2022. Watched countless videos on how to do this, and yours is the best. I’ve been dealing with having a slow imac for years and you helped me fix all of that in just 10 minutes. Truly, thank you!
Excellent tutorial, absolutely perfect! You made it easy work to follow something that seemed quite intimidating to carry out. Your clear, concise instructions took away any fears I had! Thank you!
..
Excellent and to the point videos without crap and everything explained thoroughly without confusion. I was a bit confused to clone my friends Mac to his new SSD. Now I can do it without a hiccup. You are grrrrreat!
After so many videos, yours takes the cake; clearly explained and straight to the point. Thank you!
Here in Holland from an old grandma. Thank you so much! Explained very cleary.
Yes, a good explanation. I am from Indonesia also understood it very well
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
Question, Did it work also with your software previously installed? for instance the software you use to work
@@GuiliBernales Yes... everything worked! Only difference is the hard drive! Take the old one out and put the new one in!
I have this different error failed, operation time out and couldn’t be complete error Osstatus error60
This dude saying STATA kills me haha XD
@@mynditran3123 me too...where'd that extra t come from??😂
@@robertmuckle2985 Tourette's syndrome?
I think he lost his man card when he called a button a "buddon".
Stopped watching the instant I heard that and found another video.
The most important thing here is that the guy gives easy and clear instructions for the task at hand, not that he is mispronouncig couple of words. All you laughers should get a life!
I thought you were extremely drunk at the beginning of the video, but by the end I've managed to clone my hard drive easily and now ready to fit haha cheers man
Thank you for this! Super helpful!
I am absolutely thrilled with this video. I followed your instructions step by step and was successful. Thank you for providing this high quality instructional video. You saved me a lot of grief and lost time and money having to take this to a Mac center which is over an hour away from me. You have an excellent way of presenting technical material.
In Mojave you don't have to un-mount your drives, just restore and go.
The best, no-fuss, instructional video I have ever encountered. Thank you very much for taking time to share your immeasurable help. More power! Hugs from Barcelona.
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:-)
Thank you for your video, your advice helped out setting up a external ssd that I could run my computer from it.
Dude, amazing. So easy! I’m fired up and ready to clone to my new SSD!
Excellent Video Yeezy. Your step by step method is superb. Many koodos. Bring on More
Excellent. Short and clear. Love it.
Great video man, helped me a lot. I cloned my macOS Catalina APFS to an SSD. I just made sure the Filevault is turned off and the disk is decrypted. After that I followed your steps and it worked perfectly! Thanks.
Did you clone using Mac HD or Mac HD-Data? Thanks!
Ridiculously well done instructional video.. so much crap out there that is poorly explained. Keep up the good work and thank you!
Thank you for the informative video. Extremely clear and easy to follow.
whats your os at the time of your video? @@GunnerTierno
@@GunnerTierno mine says while restoring while booting
Not recognise /Dev/null as an image file
Could not get source volume
Operation failed..
What do I do
couldn't agree more. i've watched a dozen or so other videos and this one is top notch, simple, well explained and easy to follow. i'm super novice on this stuff, but i just followed the steps to a T and it worked perfectly

You're an absolute legend for this. I used this video to speed my Mac. I run the Hard Drive externally and it made an unbelievable difference. Thanks for making the video so easy to follow along with.
thanks man. question tho, can i also do this between 2 external hdd? or only from the internal to external?
oh i was reading regarding issues relating to APFS (Encrypted) on the internal HD and some faced difficulties while doing recovery. How do i go about this?
I m trying to figure it out . Even my system hdd is apfs encrypted which doesn’t match with my new ssd format Mac OS extended( journaled)
Yes! A guy who knows how to do a tutorial. Thank you.
Thanks a million Man , That Was Awesome , I really appreciate your time and effort !!!! Well Done
That was completely sweet! Very well done lesson. Likely the best and most clearly explained method for cloning a Mac HD that you will find.
For those using older operating system, their wont be an icon for “restore”. Instead, go to the menu bar, edit, then restore for there :D
THANK YOU
Thank you
I panicked for about 30 seconds before finding your comment. Thanks! 🙏
It took me about 60 minutes watching several videos and reading a bunch of google searches to figure this out. Never found anything that said that, read your comment after I figured it out, I wish I would of started off with this video and read your comment!
Your comment saved me as well. Thanks man
Hey! Great videos! Just watched this and the second part waiting for the SSDs and RAM I ordered. Do you know if apps like PP, AE and FL Studio will work just fine after cloning the HD? Keep up the awesome content!
Should work fine. It’s an exact copy of all your files
I can't thank you enough for making and posting this video. You've helped me a great deal.
My wife has a 2015 21.5" iMac that has become really slow. I've learned that the HD in these is usually the problem. So, I am replacing it with a Samsung SSD. Your video gave me all I needed to clone the new drive. The process worked perfectly! For whatever reason all of the OS and data cloned in about half an hour. But, I restarted after the clone, and everything is there! Thanks so much! You're the man!
*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!
Javi Carles thank youuuuu
Remember, you can download Mojave into the new SSD when you boot the computer in recovery mode. An option it gives is to “reinstall macOS” and you choose the new SSD 👍🏼
I really wish I read this comment before wasting half a day and re watching this video to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. Thank you so much
Can you tell me now how to get my bootcamp partition on my new ssd? I've got Mojave and my apps and have cloned the bootcamp partition using disk utility so I have a bootcamp.dmg file but don't know what to do with it now. The ssd is in APFS format
Thank you so much for this comment. I followed the video 📹 and ran into the same problem. I was really frustrated. But I used migration like you said and it worked
Thank you so much sir I really appreciate 👍
Brilliant! Saved me a whole heap of time and expense, thank you - you're the man!
That was awesome Love your channel!
This was super helpful. I'd been searching for this for a while. Thanks!
It was all fine until I tryed the external SSD (After the migration). It starts and in the middle of the loading appear a "prohibition" sign, and it stopped. Any help?
Any fixes?
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.
Thanks man for the video. I was trying to find out how to clone my hard drive without using a third party application. This video helped a lot and now I have a backup clone just in case the internal drive fails. Thanks again!
Thank you soo much. Incredibly helpful. Much appreciated 👍👍
Thank you so much....
Now I can sit and relax for few hours as I have 750 gig to be restored onto a 1tb ssd hard drive...
How many hours or days will I wait now....Hahahah
I m guessing about 12 hrs?
Hi Gunner, I have two internal storages named Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD - data in APFS Volume, which one I have to copy?
I have the same thing I cloned Macintosh HD and it cloned both mac HD and mac HD data but I'm having trouble booting it from the usb
@@kibukirichards5873 did you make it? before try i want to be sure what to do.. thanks
ce l 'hai fatta poi?
Si ce l'ho fatta, ho clonato la memoria principale (Macintosh HD, non Macintosh HD-data) nell'SSD nuovo e lo ho impostato come disco di avvio. Ha funzionato
Thank You for your help. Well explained!!!
Thanks so much! This video was perfect and so much better than all the rest I found. My mid2012 MBpro 15 feels like a new computer with the upgraded 1Tb SSD from the old 512 HD. As an example startup previously took 3.5min.... now under 30 sec from a full system power off.
The best OS X tutorial I have seen in all my years on RUclips. 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.
@@GunnerTierno Great suggestion. I took the path of least resistance and dumped the password manager for something better. Catalina works flawlessly on the 70 or paid programs I have. How is Catalina for you?
Why in the internal it’s showing two partitions? How to merge both of the partitions ?
Clone the drive with the most data. Most likely the first one has the operating system, and the other image has all of your data on it
15” MacBook Pro mid-2012
Awesome! Thank you for providing such valuable information!
"Stata" lmao
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
How do you do this? I keep getting the error message even when I manually unmount both the Mac HD and the new SSD
@@Duojett71 where you able to fix it ?
@@alvaritowdiesel1 yes I eventually got it....but it was 10 months ago....so I don't remember what I did.
So clear to understand... Million thanks!
Thanks man you are Really helpful !!
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.
HI, helpful comment! Did you format the new ssd to APFS (just like the source HD)?
Stimulatedsoulrec Yes, APFS with journaling.
Thanks! Worked exactly as you said: restore the HD-data and the other partition was created as well.
I’ve been sitting on all my upgrade “stuff” until I found this answer. Thank you! I was worried if I chose Mac HD-Data, that it would not allow the OS to boot.
At last!!!! Just scrolled through 5 months of comments on this video before found this answer!!!! thank you
Hard to keep watching after "STATA"... lol. But still, good vid with clear instructions.
Thanks! Got a good one! ;)
After how many days of preparing, I finally did it!!! Just reformatted the SSD, checked it after it was done on Recovery mode and all good :) and then used a cloning app and done. Removing the screen was a struggle, but after the two you disconnect b4 u completly take off the screen was harder. I thought i ripped it but glad i didnt.
And finally, after all those steps... It took me about an hour to turn it on for the first time with the
ssd as my main hd. I finally did and heard a clunk clunk sound and i nearly fainted OMG but it stopped when i lowered the screen. And wow, it started so quick. I'm so cooolllllll lol. Thanks again ...xoxo PS.... re sticking the screen back, i was off by a lil itsy bitsy smudge, but its all good.
Now what is this all about now?
I'm assuming the process would work in reverse if I wanted to restore from the hard drive backup?
That’s what I wanna know!
thank you
If your MacBook is encrypted, you will need to unencrypt the HD before you can restore the SSD. You’ll have to turn off Firevault in privacy settings (which takes forever).
Gunner Tierno I might having this problem now. Do you have a video already?
@jusToofresh thanks that was a very helpful tip! 👍👊

Thanks a ton. Staples wanted a 100 bucks to do that for me ! You da man , for real ! Cheers I liked ,and subscribed your great channel !
Doing this on OS Mojave, dont need to restart in Recovery Mode. Didn't get that warning
@@GunnerTierno Hi! When you made this video, were you using OSX El Capitan? I haven't upgraded my OS yet, the new one is Catalina.. Should I clone my HD to my SSD while I have El Capitan or do I upgrade first.
@@rebesway Clone, install drive, then upgrade
@@NormBellas Thanks :) I did this last year..
@@rebesway I thought so after I saw your post was a year old. I was thinking a better option would be to do a clean install and then do as Javi (about five comments lower) suggested, to use migration assistant to transfer your old data. I curious to know what you did and then how did it work out?
@@NormBellas I actually followed this video.. bought an external Hard Drive enclosure that allowed me to plug in the SSD and clone it with Disk Utility. Went perfectly. But now I'm thinking of upgrading to the new M1 MBP 13'
I’m trying to clone my MacBook and it already it’s Mojave in apfs. What to I format the ssd as. I keep getting error saying apfs inverter failed to invert volume. Please help me lol
Im getting this same error too. Macbook is in Mojave OS. Should i go back to Sierra OS then try to clone it??
Gunner Tierno I’m having the same error - SSD is in APFS and so is Mac HD. Please help!
Gunner Tierno I’m having the same problem. I’m trying to clone my hdd to my new Evo 860 ssd but there is a problem with the volume. I thinks it is because my drive was encrypted (error OSStatus 1)
Gunner Tierno :( how? Is there another way to replace the hd to ssd?
Gunner Tierno both SSD for my MBP (mid 2012) are APFS format and once the restore got to Inverting target volume.... "APFS inverter failed to invert the volume - Resource busy The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error 16.)" any ideas what my next step is?
Great video thanks. will it be just the same if i have a bootcamp partition too?
Thank you man!! Perfect explanation
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!
That is exactly what I am planning to do tonight when I get home. What did you mean you need to have a network connection? If you are in recovery mode how can you be connected to the internet? May be I misunderstand what you meant.
I tried this and “apfs inverter failed”
anything I can do to fix this?
Same. Halp
