    I bought my SSD at UMart or RAM City. Can’t recall. It cost about $400 for 500G back then. Now is $150 for 500G and $285 for 1TB. I used time machine to do the rebuild from memory. It wasn’t hard to do with utube tutorials.

    Re RAM. Mine is
    MacBookPro9,2 13-inch i5 Unibody Mid-2012 A1278 EMC 2554

    If yours is same will fit. But I assume it’s a retina MacBook.

    [QUOTE=goingbush;

    I restored my previous MacBook to the new one , just missing 2 month worth of stuff. And my old Photoshop and a few other apps needed renewing.

    only bummer & its a big bummer , there are NO USB ports , NO SD card port , just 2 stupid Thunderbolt / charge ports . You got to use an adaptor dongle to get any useful functionality . Big backward step IMO.[/QUOTE]

    Something like this might help.

    I thought the whole idea of a slimline laptop was that you don’t have a bulky computer to lug around!

    Add in an external hard drive because the internal one is too small, an external card and USB port because the stupid wafer hasn’t got one, a mobile internet dongle because the NBN is crap, and a charging cable! It’s getting pretty darn bulky!

    What has happened to the world of industrial designers? From MAC to Land Rover, the tech is taking over from practicality. Bonkers.

    Hi

    No one should lose anything from "upgrading" their computer. Ever.

    Best is to have a regular local backup (weekly maybe) and an offsite backup, taken every few weeks.

    Local backups like Apple's "Time machine" or external hard drives with USB or ethernet are good but still need to be supplemented with a regular offsite backup. It is not rare, though not common, for an external drive to fail during a backup and you will lose both. Particularly if you do backups during a thunderstorm :-)

    Then for a non-local backup options are Amazon S3, rsync.net or other cloud based schemes. Consider the costs per month and the costs to pull data out. I pay about $10/month for a few hundred GB of data offsite at Amazon. Amazon charge though for pulling data out! while rsync.net are pricier per month but no charge to get data out.

    And of course for applications like mail if you use Microsoft's proprietary Outlook database then good luck. I stick with standard mbox format which has been around for decades. I can just copy the files to a backup and restore easily, and move them from Mail client to Mail client, PC to PC. With Mac it used to be open format but not sure now.
