How do I know which Hard Drive to get for my MacBook 2006? The old Hard Drive is a Toshiba (MK8034GSX) S/N Z6APT2XUT 9H5 EC. A?

I've put a 250gb 7200rpm drive in an Early 2006 with no problems.
For a new hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE
Or OWC  http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
Here are instructions on replacing the hard drive in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.
Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/HDE-SATA-Hard-Drive-Enclosure/dp/B001AAVA08/ref=pd_bxgy_pc _text_b
If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5

  • How do I know which photoshop CS is best for me?

    Hey now..  I'm having a hard time deciding which CS is best for me. I'd love some advice. Here is some information about me and my business.
    My husband and I own a small screen printing business. We have been in business 8 years and we mostly print our own designs.
    I am the graphic artist, he is the printer. I LOVE my photoshop 7.0. It gets the job done but I'm needing more but not too much more. For example, I'm wanting to type my text in a spiral without having to piece together and resize every word or letter. I know I can save time if I upgrade but I'm not sure what to upgrade to...
    I've been told CS3. Will that be enough? if so, what is the difference between CS3 professional, standard, dreamweaver?
    Help? and Thanks for your input/advice!

    As a business, and with the sort of work you are doing, I would try to get the $10 a month Photography deal.  You would get tax breaks on the cost of Photoshop, and be able to produce some very cool designs with ease. 
    Look through this long list of tutorials.
    http://tv.adobe.com/show/learn-photoshop-cc/
    Check out:
    Scripted patterns and fills
    Design Improvements
    Any of the 3D tutorials
    The 'Painting drawing and type' subsection.
    And anything that looks interesting.  The difference between Photoshop CC and the very old Version 7, will astound you.  Some of it will take some learning, but this forum will always be here to help if you get stuck.

  • How can I know which IP port is free for use?

    I am doing a internet project that the sender need to send voice at a port and receive the voice from another port.
    I want to assign the port to the send function and receive function automatically, so I want to use some API to determine which port in local machine is free and assign that one for the function.

    If you bind to port 0 the system will assign the next available port to you.

  • How do I know which iTunes area to use to transfer info from my old iPhone to my new iPhone? There are too many iTune areas specific for music or movies, etc. none specified for iPhone transfers.

    Which iTunes area do I access to transfer my info from my old iPhone to my new iPhone?  Music, movies, iU?  I don't see any specific for iPhone transfers.

    Thanks for your reply but maybe it would be helpful if you could elaborate a bit on that or maybe I was not clear enough in my question. What I need to do is NOT stop using icloud. But gather everything that is already stored in my old icloud account (X) and save it in my device (iphone, ipad etc) and then continue using icloud but with my new account (Y).
    In a scheme:
    "->" = "becomes"
    Step 1) data from X -> independent device data, and then the X account is removed from the device while the data stays.
    Step 2) account Y is added to the device.
    Step 2 continued) now the device has a. "the independent device data" that was drawn from the account X and b. the litte piece of data from Y that I have already created.
    Step 3) independent device data -> data in account Y (along with everything that is created from now on, and everything that has been stored there. The little piece mentioned above.) Everything should now be merged in Y. Merged in a "good" way. Not overwritten, not deleted etc. Nothing should be lost (old or new, from the device or from X or from Y).
    The last step is kind of optional. If the best I can get is having data associated to Y (future and past) AND "independent device data" that is so independent to the point that it cannot be added to my Y account since icloud recognizes and stores only data that is created after the account's addition to the device, then I can deal with that.
    I hope I cleared everything out.
    I need my notes and pages documents from my old icloud account to become independent device data and just stick to the device. And then, if possible, be uploaded to my new icloud account.

  • How do I know which airport card to purchase for ibook 14.1 LCD 900 MHz

    I just bought a used ibook for my son and he wants to connect to our home wireless network. I can't tell if I need an Airport card or an Airport Extreme card. Do I need the Airport base station or will the card enable it to connect to any wireless network/hotspot?
    We have 3 desktops and been faithful Mac users since the the very first one but I've never had so much trouble even trying to figure out what model this laptop is!

    I just bought a used ibook for my son and he wants to connect to our home wireless network. I can't tell if I need an Airport card or an Airport Extreme card.
    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu; if the computer has a G3 processor, it takes the AirPort card, while an iBook G4 takes the AirPort Extreme card.
    Do I need the Airport base station or will the card enable it to connect to any wireless network/hotspot?
    You can use any base station which supports the 802.11b or 802.11g protocols. An AirPort card cannot use 802.11g.

    I'm about to transfer the contents of my existing HDD in my (dead PSU) iMac to another computer. I'm just wanting to know if and how I will be able to access my files and documents from the old hard drive once I've made the backup?

    You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
    You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

  • New 2nd Mac Pro boot drive (ssd) how do I know which is booted?

       Both boot drives are Leopard. Also how do I switch between them safely? Is this do-able w/o restarting?  The restart surprised me and I damaged one, maybe more older externals, so I'm gunshy about  moving ahead... Need conceptual and practical help.
       My original boot drive is in pre-fail status (according to OWC software), so I want to use the new ssd rather than risk the old boot drive to back-up everything - system, Time Machine and photos - to a partitioned new 4Tb ext'l drive...  I assume I should be able to do this with the SSD and then retire my orig'l boot dr?... Does this make sense? Many thanks...

      OK, this is good to get cleared up, and helps sharpen my question: What are the  actions that jeapordize external drives in cases like this? I can guess a few: pulling out the firewire/usb etc cable while they are mounted and the computer is on? Or, If they are powered, switching them off or pulling the plug out of the electric outlet  before ejecting?
       There must be others because I didn't do either of these before getting the message that the drive was improperly disconnected and was likely damaged. I did perform "command-option-eject"  just before  getting the above warning message (I actually was told to do that command at the Genius Bar in order to switch boot drives ) but perhaps there was more I was supposed to do but forgot...Can you think of others - why I screwed up so badly? It keaves me so hesitant and worried around this beautiful machine....?

  • How do I know which ssd is compatible with my MacBook Pro..

    My MacBook Pro would not boot up. Took it to the Genius Bar and found out that I need a new hard drive.  I want to replace it with a Solid State drive, but how do I know which one is compatible with my particular machine?
    <Personal Information Edited by Host>

    On a late 2008 MBP, you want an SSD that can handle Sata 1/2/3 so it can be used in this machine, and can be migrated all the way to a 2012 SATA machine. Machines later than 2012 primarily use PCIe flash and are not considered user-replacable.
    I have used a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB in a 2008 MBP. You can look at Crucial, OWC, Intel, Samsung brands.

  • Hi,I have recently replaced by hard drive with a ssd. My old hard drive has all my iTunes stuff.i would like to install only iTunes programme on the ssd with all the content on the old hard drive. How do I do it?

    Hi,I have recently replaced by hard drive with a ssd. My old hard drive has all my iTunes stuff.i would like to install only iTunes programme on the ssd with all the content on the old hard drive. How do I do it?

    Install iTunes.
    Once install, hold SHIFT and launch iTunes.
    When prompted, point iTunes to the correct location for the iTunesLibrary.itl file which should be in the iTunes folder under <user>/Music on the old drive.

  • I went to Mac Store and had replaced hard drive because I encountered 4HDD ERROR(hard drive failure). I had backed up my old hard drive by TIME MACHINE regularly. Now how can I restore everything I had?

    I went to Mac Store and had replaced hard drive because I encountered 4HDD ERROR(hard drive failure). I had backed up my old hard drive by TIME MACHINE regularly. Now how can I restore everything I had?

    Thanks for your response.
    I had tried COMMAND+ALT+R which led me to directly to INTERNET RECOVERY via wifi. After 1 hour or so it dropped me at the same point.
    I've tried MIGRANT ASSISTANCE as well, it kept on LOOKING FOR OTHER COMPUTERS even though I clicked on TIME MACHINE BACK UP USING EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
    so what to do now?
    P.S. Guys at MacStore were so careless to even listen to me when I asked them about retrieving back up :(
    Please help

  • Why doesn't iTunes copy all my files, and how do I know which it left out?

    Hello,
    I had iTunes on my old PC, and when I installed it on my new one (Vista Home Premium), it very helpfully deleted everything off my iPod and copied it all back again! As it happens, the only files on the iPod were from the iTunes library, so it didn't matter, but it was annoying.
    Anyway, now it has (supposedly) synched my library and iPod, if I look at the library, it shows 1164 songs. If I look at my iPod, it only shows 1157 songs.
    How do I know which songs iTunes didn't copy over? More to the point, anyone any idea why it didn't just copy all of them?
    Thanks for any help.

    OK, thanks for all the replies.
    hmacross: I have checked for duplicates, and there were some there. This was because when I installed iTunes, it insisted on scanning my entire hard disk and adding every audio file it could find, even though I didn't want it to. I only wanted it to add ones in my Music folder. I had to do a fair amount of work to clean this up! Anyway, I just checked again, and there aren't any duplicates in my iTunes library.
    Chris: If I look in my iTunes library, and show all the audio files as a big list, at the bottom it gives me the total number of files, and the total play length. If I look at the iPod, I see similar numbers.
    After some tidying up, the iTunes library shows 1149 songs, and the iPod shows 1147 songs, so there's still a discrepancy. I have double checked for duplicates, so that's not the issue.
    Thanks again. Any further help would be appreciated.
