A 2nd macOS Sierra beta is available for public beta testers today

oh can't wait...

Looking forward to the official stable public release this fall. My guess is around September

My sister's MBP HDD failed. Is there a way I can change it or I have to go through Apple? They're quoting RM700 for it.

i slowpoke here just updated my macbook pro 13 retina mid 2014 to el capitan few days ago, and now there comes the macOS Sierra...

anyone tried those micro sd card adapter for macbook, like baseqi, Nifty minidrive and etc...which one good?

I think Jetdrive Lite is good.

Jetdrive lite is not microsd adapter

Ya, no choice. Need to wait. I bet they want to get it done asap too. Even shipping parts over they are giving themselves 10 days insurance policy even when they could get as fast as NBD. Anyway If I can get it on the 26th I will be super happy.

For the newer models, they actually replace the entire topcase as it was glued with the battery. So it comes with new keyboard, and new trackpad as well.

Most people just pry it off also. Since it's going to be removed and not to be used anymore.

Newer models I don't know loh haha

When I try to restore back to to El Capitan lol because of the instabilities.

This is day 2 of my restoration. DAY 2 lol

you using time capsule ?

better wait till beta finished...

Got back my Mac from Mac city, it took them 1 week+ to repair the coating stain.

And that would be around September, by my guess

Nope. Hard disk lol

no problem for me. i hv nothing to rush.

oh.... i still thinking want to buy external hdd or time capsule

My data only 80gb lol I stopped the restore. It extended to 300 hours lol my fault to restore to my super old hard disk. End up I cannot extract anything from the Time Machine Backup. My photo library corrupted.

I just bought a new hard disk and I cannot transfer my stuff from the old hard to new hard disk.

My photos are a gone case now 😔

PS. I suggest to get Time Capsule if you want long term. However, one thing to bear in mind is that you cannot switch back up devices once you've started backing up to one drive, like how I'm struggling right now. The only way is to buy a new drive and switch it to that drive and wipe the old one

Go for hdd... Way much cheaper.
The only 2 things that time capsule is superior than hdd is wireless backup, and as a wifi base station/extender. My experience of backing up wirelessly has been painful. I'd rather plug in hdd and do it manually.

This is a genuine problem for time machine. Time capsule has the same issue also. Ended up I gave up backing up my Mac completely. Those essential files, I'll save in my cloud drives.
