This is how you clone a hard drive on any Mac computer.
This video was made in June, 2016 with Mac OS X El Capitan.
The computer I’m using is a Hackintosh so it has a few hard drives in it. If you’re using a MacBook Pro, you’ll only have one hard drive inside so it will be much less confusing.

I am not liable if you accidentally delete any of your files or mess up your computer in any way.
Carbon copy cloner only works on 10.8 and above, I have 10.58, this video is useless
Is the close of the hard drive a bootable hard drive as well in there words, if install the new HD in the mac will it boot?
this tutorial was so good, all I had to do was listen along. didnt even watch it.
You do a great job explaining and simplifying. Thanks!!
You made that very easy. Thanks pal!
I tried many other videos to clone my Macbook Pro. They all failed? I was beginning to believe my ssd was not for Macbook Pro? Then I foundthis video , and it did the trick. Thanks loads for a job well done!
Thank you. Trying to bring a late 2012 Mac mini CTO (2.6ghz i7 3720qm) up to speed with a ram boost to 16gb vs 4gb and the 1tb 5400 to the Samsung 850 pro. I think I'll see a little bit of a speed increase. d:^)>
Quick and to the point. Nice job!
What if Anywhere is NOT in my list??
Just found out about CTRL R after the mac logo. No software needed in Sierra!
thank you, very helpful.
Thanks for the help!
thanks!!
I have a Mac Mini with some really nice apps that came with the machine. All Adobe files, photoshop & several more that I cant think of right now. Is it possible to "clone that hard drive to a SSD & put it in a Macbook?
Perfect! Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for.
Do you think this will work if my external hard drive is formatted as ExFAT?
I'm already booting from an external. It's 1 TB, and my new SSD is 250GB. On my external, I have 277GB used, and I'm wondering if I to erase some stuff in order to do the cloning. Plus, I have three pro-audio programs, plus third party plugins, will this allow me to load them as normal, without having to reauthorize them?
Any help would be appreciated.
Sir, how do we do this with a help of an external hard drive (I don't have an SSD converter for my new SSD and I want to clone my HDD)?
Was a good help for upgrading my Macbook Pro mid 2012 with an SSD after they released overpriced MacBooks last Week. Thx 🙂
Quick and easy. Thank you.
great video…..thanks a lot
I have 2 partitions on my current hard drive. How do I clone both onto my new ssd? When I select a source, I seem to only be able to select one at a time.
Really appreciate you taking the time to do this video!
