I want to upgrade my hd to a 750 or 500 on my mbp what do i need to match(specs)

im on a mid 2010, i am thinking about upgrading the hard drive(possibly later on trading it in. But for the mean time what do i need to match? i know they have speeds, is there anything else? 2.5" as well right? how would you go about transfering your data to the new hd? Is there any way to get itunes to recognize my new hd as my old hd(for sake of the iphone syncing)?

Your MacBook Pro has got a 2'5" SATA hard drive, so you can install a 750 GB hard drive without any problem. Visit the OWC website to get information about some hard drives > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ HGST and Seagate hard drives have good reputation, and 7200 rpm hard drives will provide you extra performance.
After doing that, what you can do is to get a USB to SATA adapter, install the new hard drive onto your MacBook and connect the old hard drive by USB. Then, turn on your Mac and your computer will start up from your old hard drive. Use Disk Utility's Restore feature to restore your content to the new hard drive > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html
You won't have any problem with iTunes. As you will be restoring your old iTunes library, you won't lose anything from the iPhone, as it will detect that you have got the same library

Determination of Prerequisites
Purpose
As parallel maintenance has been deactivated, you have to implement various measures, depending on how your system has been configured, when you upgrade to release SAP ECC 5.00, Financial Services (EA-FS500). These measures affect release levels SAP ECC 5.0 and SAP ECC 6.0.
Process Flow
Use the graphic and the subsequent documentation to check which activities are required in your system due to the deactivation of parallel maintenance. The process represented in the graphic is explained in greater detail in the following sections:
       1.      Check whether you use the Real Estate (RE-Classic) solution.
¡        If you do not use the Real Estate (RE-Classic) solution, no additional steps are required.
¡        If you use Real Estate (RE-Classic), additional checks are necessary.
       2.      Check whether, in addition to Real Estate (RE-Classic), you also work with a solution that uses the SAP Business Partner.
¡        If you only use Real Estate (RE-Classic), additional checks are necessary.

Disk drive using native SATA bus interface will allow the drive to copy and always present and ready.
But once you have backup any hourly changes should be smaller and as long as the NAS and your switch should allow enough.
You should always have off line backups and don't rely on just one backup set or just TimeMachine.
WD RED models are designed for RAID and NAS and 7.2k instead of your more standard slower green 5400 rpm green models while still costing less than WD Blacks.

Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Ignore the red slider. When the logo appears let go of the buttons.

Have you tried here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
You can check your warranty coverage by entering the SN here:
Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
For how to get warranty work see:
Apple - Support - iPod - Service FAQ
The fastest is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Upgraded my mac to OS-X 10.5.6...what else i need? adobe, java, et.?

got family pack so ilife and iwork. found adobe and java for mac. what else would you recommend?
any help appreciated, thanks

Hi Networktec,
After you installed OSX 10.5.6 go to the Apple website and download the Combo Updater OSX 10.5.8
Now, run Disc Utilities and Repair Permissions.
Now Reboot ...
Now, just run the Software updater on your Mac, and ALL the updates you still need will be shown.
Install them and run Disc Utilities again.
Good Luck ...

Wanting to upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.6 - Am I able?

Greetings, sorry if this has been asked prior, there is a TON of topics here and I became a bit overwhelmed.
I am wanting to upgrade my iMac running 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard. I Understand I need to purchase the entire box set, not just the $29 upgrade. Am I able to upgrade this mac? Yes, I want to purchase an iPhone finally (on Verizon) and I don't want to invest in the upgrade or the iPhone if it's not possible I can upgrade. Also, anyone have any advice on doing this upgrade? Below is more info about my computer. Let me know if I haven't included any info. Many, many thanks in advance.
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 1.83 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per processor): 2 MB
Memory: 2 GB

Hi Veebs, and not to worry, the number and breadth of posts on these discussions can be daunting.
Your iMac, since it is an Intel-based machine, can be upgraded to SL, 10.6...and you do not need the boxed set unless you want all of the peripheral software that is inlcuded. If you want just the operating system, the $29 special should be fine for you.
Note that the heavy users on here recommend at least 2 GB of memory, which you have, and the minimum of 10 GB free hard drive space would be better if it is more like 30-40 GB free space. At any rate, Mac OS X wants to see at least 10-15% of the hard drive capacity free.
After installing your new 10.6, just go to the free downloads and get the 10.6.6 combo if your installed version is less than that.
Then download iTunes 10.1, 10.1.2.17 is the current version, and you should be good to go with the new iPhone. Next you need to think of the iPad, iPod, oh well.
I also just ordered my new Verizon iPhone...going to be hard waiting a week for delivery

Hi, My i photo library is not opening up. What should I do? I have version 9.1 i photo 11. I dont want to upgrade to a higher version because I havent backed up m data.

hi, My i photo library is not opening up when I click it. What should I do? I have version 9.1 i photo 11. I dont want to upgrade to a higher version because I havent backed up my data. Just need support on how to open it up.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I have the 1st generation ipod touch i installed an update which now it is 3.1.3 version i was able to put my apps on it but when i want to use the apps it will not let me use them. what do i need to do?

I have the 1st generation ipod touch i installed an update which now it is 3.1.3 version i was able to put my apps on it but when i want to use the apps it will not let me use them. What do i need to do?

Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps? You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
Next would be to restore from backup
Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

What All Do I Need If I Want To Upgrade My Macbook Hard Drive?

hey guys.
i've tried reading up a little but i was hoping someone (or a few people) could give me some straight up answers.
if i want to upgrade my macbook hard drive what all do i need? just the hard drive? or are there other pieces?
also.. whats a good 250GB one? i found this one on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-2-5-Western-Digital-250GB-SATA-Harddrive_W0QQitemZ220271 134397QQihZ012QQcategoryZ158853QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

any comments are welcome.
thanks!

I got a 320GB sata 2.5" hard drive and installed it myself, its easy. I also got a caddy so I can use my old 120GB drive as a back up. Make sure u have everything backed up! Seagate and western digital drives are most popular. I asked similar q and got this answer"
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
If your backup is bootable, then boot from the external drive and use SuperDuper to clone it back to the newly installed drive.
Mac Pro 2.66 Ghz; MacBook Pro C2D 2.33 Ghz; MacBook Pro 2.16 Ghz Mac OS X (10.5.4) Intel iMac C2D 17 "; MacBook 2.0 Ghz.
And
Now, to install the hard drive, follow http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/MacBook-Core-Duo/Hard-Drive-Replacement/86/5/
