I have a 13 inch macbook (late 2007) what is the maximum allowable height for a hard drive?

what is the maximum allowable height for an internal hard drive. I want to replace my hard drive are there any other things I should make sure of in terms of compatability?

they have to format it to make it mac "compatible", for a lack of better terms.  I don't know what they would do.

    What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

    I agree with teh OWC sggestion above, but why must it be USB powered? I find that far more unreliable, and the low power devices slow.
    I'd frankly get a good external enclosure and buy a bare drive.  But the OWC stuff is quite good - vastly better than some of the majors (WD being aprime example of stuff that's boderline quality and often not compatible)

  • What's the maximum internal space for Mid 2010 MacBook Pro

    Ok guys I'm about to upgrade my internal drive on my MacBook Pro and would like to know what is the maximum space to put in. I'm also gong to replace optibay a 128GB SSD. Is any 1TB 2.5" good?

    I suggest that you install the SSD in the same place as your current HDD.  Install the 1 TB drive  in the DVD drive location.
    I have HGST 1 TB drives, both 5400 rpm and 7200 rpm.  Both work satisfactorily.
    Ciao.
    I also have the HGST 1.5 TB HDDs but they are only available in 5400 rpm versions.

  • What's the maximum memory ram for Macbook Pro?

    Hello,
    May I know what's the maximum memory ram capacity for Macbook Pro?
    I am having Macbook Pro - 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Thank you!
    Alvin

    Hate to resurrect a dead horse but....I was looking in the instructions for memory upgrades and the instructions specified that the computer will only recognize 3 gigs. Will that still be in effect if I upgrade to Snow Leopard when it becomes available? Or do I need to save my pennies for a Mac Pro? What I am getting at is: is the reason for the RAM cap due to software issues, 64 bit not being native, different version of leopard used on notebooks, or is it due to hardware issues.

  • What are the things required to upgrade internal hard drive For Macbook Pro mid 2012 13 inch?

    Hi,
    I want to upgrade my internal drive but I don't know how to do that. I have already purchased a WD 1TB internal hard drive. However, I contacted apple support and they said if I try to upgrade the hdd myself, then the warranty of the macbook would be void. I am from India . I currently have a Macbook Pro mid 2012,13 inch.
    Also, do i need to download a setup of Yosemite before changing the hdd?
    Please guide me
    Thanks and Regards
    Abhineet Arora

    You know what the impact will be on the warranty terms.  If you want to install it yourself, look at this video:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_13_unibody_mid12_hd/
    It is not very difficult.  You will need a #00 Phillips and a #6 Torx drivers.
    Ciao.

  • What is the best way to install & clone hard drives on macbooks? does apple do that?

    It is time for a new hard drive for my macbook - just doiubles the memory, but am still getting the spinning beach ball. The genius bar told me I need a new hard drive, but that I could buy it and out it in myself. But, I just heard that the best way to replace the hard drive is to clone it... and that is beyond my abilities.
    Does apple do that??? suggestions? thanks!

    Please note that "cloning" a hard drive is not the same as replacing it. You clone the drive to preserve its contents (usually on the drive that will be the replacement). You still have to get into the MB, physically, take out the old drive and install the new one. There are plenty of web sites that tell you how to do this replacement. This is one I like: http://www.macinstruct.com/node/130
    The details do vary depending on the vintage of your MB, so if that link is not for your model, try searching the web for instructions specific to your need. Or post back here with details about your Mac.
    If Apple did agree to do this for you it would probably cost almost as much as a new MB. (And if you do buy a new MB, my local Mac store will do the data transfer as a bonus!)

  • I have a MBP 15" from late 2007, right before the unibody.  The battery has just entered "Replace Battery Now" state after several months in "Replace Battery Soon".  Where can I purchase a replacement battery?

    Everything on Amazon gets terrible reviews, and I'll bet they are in the same state already.  The machine still runs great, so I don't need to replace it for what I need.  Appreciate any direction on this.

  • I have a first gen Imac G5 20"   What is the proper airport card for this unit?  It didn't come with one

    Can anyone tell me which wifi card will best support a first gen G5 20" imac?  I am trying to get my grandson's computer on a wifi net

    So it should be this model
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac_g5_1.8_20.html
    It has USB 2.0 and can run up to Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8), so I think the best option is to use a USB WiFi adapter.  For example
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/MXP2802NU2C/
    I have an earlier version of the above product connecting my Power Mac G5 to my wireless network.  It actually has the "official" internal AirPort card, but it is only 802.11g (like the one for your iMac G5) and has less less range, so it is turned off.  The USB adapter goes up to 802.11n.

  • What is the best way to upgrade a hard drive on my macbook?

    How do I get the information on my current internal hard-drive onto another internal hard-drive?
    Thanks in advance for any and all information.

    You can use SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner to accomplish that.
    You'd need an external disk or mount your old internal in an enclosure.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card in my aluminum 13-inch Macbook (Late 2008)?

    My 13-inch Macbook (Late 2008) currently uses the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB graphics card, but I want to upgrade it, so that I can play games at a higher quality. Is this possible? If so, what graphics cards are compatible with my Macbook (Late 2008)?
    Thank you.

    The graphics card on a MacBook is part of the logic board not a separate card so it can't be upgraded.

  • MacBook (late 2007) 2.2 Ghz mini DVI to DVI Problem

    Hi,

    Thank you very much. Is Hardware problem, I'm wondering if it needs to be reported to apple.

  • Cable to migrate from Macbook (late 2007) to Mac Mini 2012?

    What cable should I use to migrate files from Macbook (late 2007) to Mac Mini 2012. The ethernet migration took 30 hours. The Macbook messaged success but the Mini did not show that any files were transfered.

    Where did you look for the migrated files? Look in the /Users/ folder and see if there isn't a new user account. If so, then log into that account where you should find what you migrated.
    The only way to do a migration any faster and more reliably is if both computers have Firewire ports. If they do then you can use Target Disk Mode to migrate.
