Hey y'all, just found this cool sub! Don't know if it's the best place to post about this so can you please point me in the right direction if there is one?
I wanted to replace the hard drive in my ~4yo MacBook Pro with a SSD. Didn't know until after the fact that non-Apple SSDs don't play well with Macs, but I'm not even sure if that's the problem here...
Basically, I swapped in the new SSD, and things were fine for a few days, until I noticed it slowing down and starting to significantly glitch. Basically I couldn't write to the drive at all (even though Disk Utility said read/write was enabled): no saving, no downloading, nothing. I found a program that helps the drive work better with the Mac (TRIM), but couldn't install it because I couldn't download it.
My techie friend was helping me, and we started messing around in Terminal, including some sudo commands. Basically we hit a wall with the process we were trying.
After putting it away for a day or two, I came back to it and it couldn't even start, would catch on the gray startup screen or display a progress bar that got stuck about halfway. Booting it in safe/recovery mode didn't help.
Today I put my old hard drive back in, thinking I would start over and install the TRIM program that helps the SSD before even installing it. Tried to turn on the computer, exact same thing happens: gray screen, Apple logo, progress bar that stops halfway.
What can I do /r/hackintosh?? What's wrong with my computer? Where can I ask this question if not here?
Thank you so much for your time.
