A little help please on a few questions i have.

im brand new to the forum as in this is my very first post.
ok i will describe my computer the best i can so that i can get the most accurate answer possible. so bare with me.
so i have a macbook pro 15" that was purchased in summer 07 brand new. it's 2.2 ghz with 4gb of ram running on os.x 10.6.2
im still using the really small 120gb hdd. i want to update to something insanely big cuz i need the room and don't want to have to worry about it. pref. a 1tb internal. what size does the disk have to be ( i.e. 2.5" ect.) and what are some good brands that wont break the bank.
ive been looking at this its only a 500gb and i heard the faster rpm the better. (correct me if im wrong im only going by what im told)
here is the link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148374
ive got an external 1tb but i don't want to put all my stuff on there and have to plug it in and keep it plugged in. i want freedom to move.
any suggestions guys??

Another option would be to remove your optical drive, and install a second HD, using a kit like
this, which includes a USB optical drive enclosure. If you rarely use the optical drive and/or don't mind toting it along, this would get you your 7200RPM 1TB internal storage, but you're going to spend over $300 doing it. You could also put an SSD in the optical drive bay, but that's even more money for less capacity. Food for thought.

  • Need a little help please    Airport Express

    Need a little help please.
    I am trying to set up a wireless network at my home using Airport Express.
    I have a regular phone line running in to I assume the modem. From there, there is an Ethernet cable running from that box to the back of the PC. My question is, I think, which of those do I unplug and plug into the Airport Express, the one on the back of the PC or the one that is in the back of the modem, or is this totally wrong.
    Any help would be appreciated…
    Thanks
    In advance…
    PS I have the manual but to me it is not very clear…

    Your connection sequence would look like this:
    Internet > Modem > AirPort Express >>>wireless to your computers.
    This means that you would unplug the cable that is now connected at the back of your PC and move that connection to the AirPort Express.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click Continue to follow the guided setup. On the third page, you will choose the option to "Create a wireless network" and continue the setup.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Guys, a little help please ???

    Guys, a little help please before i launch my new toys out of my pram   I've got the new apple TV, Ipad2, and IOS5 update. I'm trying to set up mirrorring , however, when i double click the home page and swipe, the only options it gives me are Ipad or Apple TV. The video shows that i should be able to simply click on mirrorring and whazam it appears on my TV... I can't get this option.... I've rebooted them (router, ipad 2 and Apple Tv) numerous times but still can't get it.......Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Sounds as though the options you're getting are the standard Airplay output icons.
    Check current AppleTV software version in Settings>General>About
    Latest is 4.4.2 - there's a sticky at the top of the page about updating - if you're on 4.3 or lower just update from Settings.
    Maybe someone can confirm the video you mention is actually the correct way to invoke mirroring - link?
    (Yn anfodus heb iPad2 does dim syniad 'da fi os ydi'r Mirroring yn gweithio fel yn y fideo - oes linc i'r fideo, rhag ofn bod y fideo'n anghywir?)

    Your phone is carrier locked to a carrier other than the one you are trying to use.
    It was apparently hacked to unlock it prior to your attempt to update. Updating has re-locked it to the original carrier.
    Contact them and find out what their policy is.

    I need help to change my security questions I have forgot them

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • Little help please regarding deleting files and folders...

    My wife has a MBP and has accumulated some old items in her documents folder that she'd like to delete. She has a USB mouse but the "right click" doesn't appear to work. She's running 10.4.11 and can't reveal the files in icon mode to facilitate dragging to trash. Certainly there is a sequence of keystroke commands that will allow these files to be effectively trashed, but our "control/delete", or "apple/delete", or "option/delete" doesn't do the trick after highlighting the subject file. Help please! TIA!

    To delete a file or folder, high light it then using the keyboard type Command Delete and that will delete it. If you have multiple files and/or folders the same keyboard commands apply.
    Regards,
    Roger

  • Can't use google. Little help please

    For some reason I cannot use Google as a search engine or access its website. Would really like to resolve this. Any help is really appreciated.
    Things I have tried:
    1.) Ping google and it was successful
    The address it is using is 173.194.117.242
    To make things weird, if I use this numerical address in the search cue I in fact get access to the google website
    2.) I flushed the DNS in "Terminal"
    Not sure if that did anything. I read somewhere to try it
    Important background information
    When I enter google in my search function, I am directed to this page strangely http://122.132.196.148/33407BMULZ/dsawfffs.php?64198
    I do live in South Korea so that's why its in Korean. Basically it tells me I need to update google chrome (which I am not even using) or download some binary patch that really only is meant for Microsoft users so it doesn't work on my computer anyway.
    So...Why is it that I can reach 173.194.117.242 (google) but then am directed to that strange web page in korean when I use google as a search engine in my browser (firefox,safari)
    Thanks!

  • I had to reset my pc cos it had a virus in it and i downloaded itunes and synced my iphone 5 and everything was fine. except i cant seem to be able to put my purchased ringtones back into my phone. can sb help please? i dont want to have wasted the money.

    i had to reset my pc cos there was a virus in it. i downloaded itunes and downloaded all my purchases and synced my iphone back in and had to put all my cds back in and everything. but i cant seem to find where the ringtone i bought it. it worked fine before i synced my iphone back into the new virus free computer. i can see it in the ringtones tab but its grey and i cant access it. can somebody help please?

    Unless you saved them somewhere you need to download and pay again.  There is currently no way to just get them again. You can create your own ringtones

  • Need a little help please. Three questions...

    I just got iLife 08 (never used it before) and have updated my old website which was on a personal domaine host (www.dpkmusic.com) and has been up for a few years now...
    What did is publish my new iWeb site to a folder (to my existing website local folder on my hard drive) then upload it via FTP to my host domain server.
    Question is, how can I clean up the URL so that it reads like it used to; which was (www.dpkmusic.com).
    Now, if you type in www.dpkmusic.com , you get this when you hit return,
    (www.dpkmusic.com/DPKMusic/Welcome-FrontPage.html). I don’t want to publish to .mac right now.
    Question 2. Hover color change for text links with rendered FX, like shadows, don’t work. The links work fine but won’t change color. In other words, hover works just fine as long as there are no FX applied to the text. Any way to make this work?
    Question 3. How do you make a link to a FILE open up in a new window (like an mp3). For external page links, this works just fine by checking off the box in the inspector window. But the option is not there for file linking or for linking to one of my own pages... What am I missing here?
    Thanks,
    dpk

    Your connection sequence would look like this:
    Internet > Modem > AirPort Express >>>wireless to your computers.

  • Switching from external Email server to Exchange, Understanding Dis-Joint, and a little help please

    I'm pretty new at installing exchange myself and have never done Exchange 2013
    While going through the install help online I came across disjointed domains. I think I'm over thinking this but here is what I have and what I want to do. Any other tips would be great as well. 
    Customer currently has a domain, internal dns and email through GoDaddy. Lets call it smallschool.com 
    Internally they have a new Active Directory (2012) and the domain is in.smallschool.com. There is no external DNS except GoDaddy. I plan to use that (if that's ok). 
    I have built a Hyper-V for Exchange 2013 and have installed pre-requisites. 
    My Current Question are...
    Do I need to set up dis-joint dns suffix and modify the msds-allowdnssuffix attribute? I have the instructions, I just don't know if this is a must or not with the domain names like they are.
    Am I going to run into any trouble switching GoDaddy's email to Exchange Server? Any Tips?
    Thank You, 
    fixitrod

    Hi fixitrod,
    Agree with Ed Crowley. If your original used domain is smallschool.com in GoDaddy, I suppose your email address would be
    [email protected]
    If that is the case, when you deployed a new AD domain with in.smallschool.com, we can create an accepted domain for smallschool.com in Exchange 2013. If you want to still use Godaddy for external message sending and receiving, you can create an external
    relay domain. For more information about configuring external relay fomain, please refer to:
