Thats like putting a band aid on the problem. Not only that, but what about the next release? what about the next 3 releases 2 years down the road? will I have to repeat the process again and spend the amount of time it will take me here and do another "work around"? I bought this drive to make my life better and easier, thats not what is happening now, this is a big headache. It scares me that I would have to go to these lengths to "get around" a limitation that really is a defect of OWC's product in which they are charging good money for. when really OWC should be the ones to make sure that their products are compatible with all future releases of OSX To clone my drive twice would require a substantial amount of time invested, the install of any mac os upgrade alone can take a few hours, what you are suggesting is that I spend lets say maybe 6-8 hours of time, cloning, installing, reinstalling, etc.
Not only that but there is a bigger picture here. Problem is, the way I am understanding this, is that the OS installer will not recognize or install on an external drive so I am having a hard time understanding how to do that with that limitation They are in business because of Apple, not the other way around. I agree with you that OWC is more at fault, it's their product and it should be made to work seamlessly with Apple products, not the other way around. But clearly the installer itself says to contact the supplier. And when i contacted them all three times they were quick to blame Apple, in other words, its out of our hands. Makes me think they don't see any benefit in developing a fix for their MP users because there are probably not nearly as many. I am sure they sold alot more MBP SSD's than the MP SSD They actually created a firmware update that, in their words."This firmware update removes that requirement and ensures your Mac will receive the appropriate EFI update as part of the system installation." Upon digging further I did find that they corrected this for their MacBook pro users. That to me is not a reasonable solution for a product from OWC. and its a big but - all of my data will be erased, I will have to reinstall every program, all my email addresses in mail, files, folders, everything, it would be like starting over and buying a new mac. Yeah I am pretty sure a forced install in the way you are describing could work.
