500.11 GB Toshiba MK5065GSXF can't be repaired, what do I need to do?

Hello,
I've bought my Mac in 2011 and it has been working quite normally up until this couple of months.
Whenever I use it and try to open Safari, it starts to freeze and won't let me open any other applications.
So I have to shut it down and turn it on again and again. Sometimes it restarts itself (rarely but it does).
I read about this utility disk repair thing, which I just tried (not a good computer person) and it says that 500.11 GB Toshiba MK5065GSXF can't be repaired, failing. (and It's marked red).
So, I want to know what's there for me to do or what does this even mean?
Thanks in advance.

It mean the hard drive is failing. Backup all your files at once, IE Make a copy of them on an External drive.
Then you will need to have the hard drive replaced. you can do that yourself or take it to an Apple store to have them do it for you. You can also take it to must any competent computer repair place even if they don't specifically work on Mac computers. Changing the hard drive is very simple to do.
You will then need to reinstall OS X and all your programs and then copy back your personal files.

  • I have a MacBook 13-inch, Late 2009, I'd like to get a cable to connect a monitor.  However I keep order the wrong part.  Can somebody tell me what part I need.

    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort.
    The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.
    To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

    i still have os x 10.5.8 and need the latest version of snow leopard so i can run quickbooks. What do i need to buy and where?

    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they might still have it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    If it's a Core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.

  • Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting.  Went to Mexico and now can't get the texting to work at all on ipad.  Thanls

    Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting.  I went to Mexico and when I returned the texting does not work on my ipad.  The support at Apple wanted to charge me to get info.
    THanks

    Can't address the problem directly, cause even though my iPad4 is Cell+Wi-Fi, I've never put a SIM in it and never had the need to text, SMS or iMessage, from it. When away from the office or home wireless network, I tether it off the iPhone. Skype, both text and video, work just fine thru the Wi-Fi link, though.
    HOWEVER, when I was hashing out the contract details to get the iPhone 5 about 14 months ago at Telcel, the representative distinctly mentioned that both Visual Voicemail as well as iMessages would be included in the package and they would be mandatory cause "I was getting a (subsidized) Apple iPhone" on a 24 month leash. Then when the gizmo came out of its box for SIM installation and activation, she went thru the motions of making sure both were working properly.  So I assume the carrier has some say in the matter.

    Taken from Apple Website....
    OS X Lion system requirements
    To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
    An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
    7 GB of available disk space
    2 GB of RAM
    If your Mac does not meet these requirements, you will need to  upgrade your Mac before installing Lion.
    In other words, FIRST UPDATE your system to 10.6.8.... 10.6.8 will install the MAC APP STORE on your computer.. SECOND.... Buy Lion from MAC APP STORE (you may need to  create an Apple Login and Password). THIRD... Launch the LION installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Made sure to install ONLY THE COMPONENTS, don't ERASE your system before install. This way you don't lose your data (pictures, music, documents, etc.)

  • After o download the browser ,i get message that says can not open file what do i need to do to download the browser i have tried 5 times get same message

    its the same shit i asked before after i download the browser i get message can not open file what do i do to dwonload the browser

    That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Please can someone tell me what cable I need to connect my Macbook Pro 15'' Retina display to a Yamakasi Catleap Monitor?

    Hi all,
    I have a Macbook Pro 15'' Retina and I'm thinking of getting a Yamaksai Catleap Monitor, please can someone tell me the best way to connect this? Do I need a thunderbolt to DVI connector, or Thunderbolt to VGA? Im assuning the former would be superior! Please can someone advise?
    Thanks very much in advance,
    Cheers,
    Guy

    Hello, 
    Some UK links... You can use any of the following to get the video signal out of the iMac and into a standard format:
    Mini DVI - DVI
    Mini DVI - VGA
    Mini DVI - Composite/S-Video.
    The DVI will give you best quality, but VGA will be simpler. The DVI to HDMI connector is:
    Buy a DVI to HDMI connector (link). Long HDMI cables are pretty expensive though.
    Although HDMI can handle sound as neither DVI, MiniDVI nor VGA do you'll need to connect the sound separately. Simply connect the sound out on the iMac to the input on the TV using a cable like this:
    3.5mm to RCA.
    If you use the miniDVI to VGA connector here's a long VGA cable (link).
    All Macs since about 1999 have had +DVD Player+ installed. I'm not at my Mac right now to check Front Row in Leopard but Front Row in Tiger certainly played DVDs (but +DVD Player+ is a better, more flexible DVD Player).
    cheers

    it's in dutch but I hope you can understand it, because everything is on the same place, so just open your iMovie '11 and check the exact place

    You need to have automatic transitions turned off.

  • I am having trouble changing my macbook password i try entering my current password but my computer does not regonize it and i can not change it what do i need to do please help!!

    i need help i can not change the password it does that shaking boz thingy even thoough i put the correct password in

    Do you have a recovery partion. 
    When you forgot the password and you can't use OS X, you have to use the new Recovery.
    To boot in Recovery system, press Command and R keys in boot and hold the keys until you see the Apple icon. If you have a Mac with Internet Recovery, read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718. If your Mac has got a wireless keyboard, hold them when you hear the startup sound
    When it starts, select Utilities > Terminal, and type:
    resetpassword
    Press your user and type your password. Finally, reboot.

  • TS3354 i purchased a film on my iphone and am trying to watch it on my laptop, i keep getting a message that says "you must authorise this computer before you can watch this film", what do i need to do

    I purchased a film on my Iphone and I am wanting to watch it on my laptop, but i keep getting a message saying "before you can watch previously purchased items you need to authorise your computer"  how do I do this

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • I bought a mac computer 2011 from a guy at work but I'm having problems in app store in need to upgrade an app but it still has the old owners apple id and i can't change it what do i need to do?

    cant take off the old owners username in the apps log in? what do i do?

    WHat year/model Mac is it?
    Based on the OS that it shipped with, the Mac, it's OS and the installed apps, such as iLife are all associated with the original owner's Apple ID. He was supposed to erase the Mac, reinstall the most recent version of the shipping OS and call Apple to request the Mac be disassociated from his Apple ID. You will have this type of issue until that has been done.

  • Can't figure out what battery I need???

    Hey everyone. So I have a mid year 2010 macbook pro. It's a macbookpro6,2. Model number is mc372xx/a. 15 inch, 2.53ghz. My problem I am having is the battery was warped.  I threw it away before buying a new one not realizing there were many different batteries.  Anybody know what specific battery I need (aftermarket) or a good website to buy one? Thanks.

    scottrf8,
    my own view on this matter would be to go with the Apple battery, but others here could disagree. The larger range of mA·h for the Apple battery suggests a longer average runtime per battery cycle, and non-Apple batteries tend to be hit-or-miss in terms of quality; but if lowest price is your primary criterion, then a simple price check would suffice to make your decision.

  • My iPad 3 "Brain/Table" (How it is called in my language) Burnt. Can it be repaired ?

    My iPad 3 "Brain/Table" (How it is called in my language) Burnt. Can it be repaired ? and I need to know the English name of that "Brain" and I need to know the English name of that "Brain"
    By the way, last time when I tried to turn it on, it charged, showed the Apple logo and than turned off, no lock screen and nothing.
    Than I gave it to repair and they said brain is burnt..

    I don't know what the Brain is but I imagine that the repair center said that the processor was bad. If they couldn't repair it, then there is nothing that you can do with it. Apple doesn't repair iPads, they replace them. If you are out of warranty they do offer replacement iPads starting at $250.00 in the U.S. you can check and see what the policy is where you live.
