I have a macbook pro mid 2012 with a damaged harddisk.
I've bought a samsung ssd 840 evo, and instalaled it. But the software delivered with the samsung dont work with mac! Anyone that can help?
I cannot see the disk when installed into the mac, but it appears when plugged into the usb....

Sounds like you need to format the SSD Mac OS Extended (Journaled). When the SSD was installed, did it appear in Disk Utility at all?

Now I have formatted it, but still no action. I think maybe the cable is defect.

Possibly. Try swapping in a new SATA cable. If the SSD can be recognized via USB, it may be a bad cable, but also check the connectors as the SSD is thinner than the normal 9 MM height requirement.

Thanks for your help. I have ordered a new cable and then we will see....
