How to Upgrade Macbook With SSD (8 Steps)


Shut the MacBook down completely. Remove the power cable and all external hardware, and flip the computer over so that the bottom faces up. You may wish to put the MacBook on a soft cloth to protect the finish on the lid.
Unscrew the eight Phillips-head screws holding the rubberized plate to the bottom of the MacBook. Starting from the back of the computer, gently pry the plate away from the computer, being careful not to bend the metal.
Disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard. The cable is located near the upper-right corner of the battery pack. Use a non-conductive tool to pry the cable if needed.
Unscrew the two Phillips-head screws on the ends of the black strip between the MacBook hard drive and RAM. This strip secures the hard drive to the body of the computer. Lift the strip away from the MacBook and set it aside.
Use the clear plastic pull tab to lift the MacBook hard drive out of the computer. Stop lifting when you can access the cable connector on the end of the hard drive.
Rock the cable connector gently to remove it from the back of the MacBook hard drive. Leave the other end of the cable connected to the motherboard.
Unscrew the four Torx screws from the sides of the old MacBook hard drive, and transfer the screws to the SSD.
Install the MacBook SSD by reversing the steps in this article.

How to Download Songs From a Mac Pro to an iPod


Start your computer and open your iTunes software. The main interface presents you with three main sections. There is a bar on the top that has playback controls, a display window and a search field. Directly below this is the largest window, which contains your music library. It displays the title, artist, album and other song information. On the far left is a navigation window that allows you to switch libraries (say, from music to video), view external devices and organize your playlists.
Plug in your iPod using the USB cable. In a few seconds it should show up in the window on the left under “Devices” as an icon of the iPod.
To place a song from the library on your computer to the iPod, click on the song you want and hold. Then, drag it from the library window to the icon of your iPod. A plus symbol will appear over the iPod. Let go of the mouse button. An arrow rotating in a circle will appear beside the iPod letting you know that the song is being transferred.
To transfer multiple songs, click to highlight any song you want. Then, hold the “?” key and click on the other songs you want. They will all become highlighted. Drag and drop any one of the selected songs. They will all transfer to the iPod. If all the songs are grouped together in the library, you can select the first then hold “Shift” and click on the last. This will highlight and allow you to drag and drop all of the songs at once.
To place all of your music on your iPod, first make sure it has enough space. Look at the bar on the bottom of the iTunes window. In the center it will display the amount of memory your songs take up. Then, click to select your iPod and select the “Music” tab. Your iPod’s available memory will appear on the bottom of the window. If your iPod has enough free space, click the “Sync music” box then click “Sync” in the bottom-right corner. This will erase all the music on your iPod and replace it with the library on your computer (See Reference 1).
