Any way to increase HD capacity on the iMAC?

Is there any way to upgrade the internal HD on the iMAC to say about 500GB and transfer all data from the installed drive? Thanks. Dave Wilson

PilotDave1,
You can take your machine to an AASP that will upgrade the internal HD for a fee. However I'd recommend at least a 1TB HD, the cost from 500GB to 1TB should be minor. You will need to contact one in your area, ask if they perform the service and how much it would cost. Make sure you let them know you want to migrate everthing that is on the old HD onto the new HD. You can locate a AASP in the US by clicking the Apple Authorized Service Provider Locator. If you are outside the US you should start with Apple Online Service Assistant. If your machine is a late 2009 or later iMac make sure you let the AASP know, this is critical because Apple began using different internal HD's then. Those drives come with integrated temperature sensors. If they do not install the correct HD this could cause an overheating issue.

  • I have 15,686 photos on iPhoto 11 and am now, when uploading latest photos, getting a message saying that my startup disk is full.  Is there any way of increasing the capacity of the start up disk?

    I have 15,686 photos on iPhoto 11.  As I've been uploading the latest photos in the last two days I've been getting a message stating that my start-up disk is nearly full.  I had no idea there was a limit.  Is there any way of increasing its capacity?  I have been shooting in Raw of late and I know it takes up a lot of space but I have heard of other people who have over 20,000 photos on their computers, so what is going on here??

    Two possibiilities here:
    1. Your start up disk is nearly full
    Or
    2. You have minor damage to the iPhoto Library and it's giving you a bogus message.
    But here's the thing: A full start up disk is a very serious issue and needs to be dealt with fast.
    So, how big is your Hard Disk? How much free space on it?

  • Is there any way to increase the font size in the Creative Cloud. Using a Lenovo Yoga 2 with 14" screen and care barely see the menus

    Is there any way to increase the font size in the Creative Cloud. Using a Lenovo Yoga 2 with 14" screen and care barely see the menus.

    In short, no. There is no fix yet. They only barely acknowledge there is a problem. The "fix" is to enable 200% UI scaling which makes everything comically huge and unusable. This is pretty much of a joke. A really, really EXPENSIVE joke.

  • My loudspeaker are very low (switched to max) any way to increase the volume. (IPad 1)?

    are very low (switched to max) any way to increase the volume. (IPad 1)?    [email protected] 

    Never mind. I see. Siri simply has it's own volume and you can adjust it while in Siri itself. It was set low by default.

  • Siri volume seems low - any way to increase it?

    I just got a new iPhone 5 today and am trying Siri for the first time. It seems to work ok, but the volume of Siri's voice seems quite low to me.
    The speakers on the iPhone 5 itself are ok because I can play music in iTunes very loudly, so it's not the general volume settings or the speakers. It seems to be just Siri's voice.
    Is there any way to increase Siri's voice volume?
    Thanks,

  • Any way to increase font size in RoboHelp UI?

    Hi. Is there any way to increase the font size of the text in the RoboHelp (11) UI itself, that is, for example, the items that appear in the Project manager, Topic List, Single Source Layouts, and other panels?
    I have my monitor set to optimal resolution, but this seems to cause this text to be too small for comfort. Is there a way to increase the font size from within RH? If not, is there a Windows-level change I can make?
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Peter.  Yes, that's what it appears to be.  So, in messing about with the screen resolution and text size settings on my new Windows 7 machine, I somehow irritated RoboHelp.  This is what it looks like:
    I got responses from Adobe person assigned to my bug request.  He said all was OK on their side.  He said to try to change the Custom DPI text size for my machine, but that did not change the RH display, only the toolbar and pod headings.  He suggested I uninstall then reinstall RH 10.
    I also asked what the difference was between the RH source files that present the toolbar and that retrieve the project files as listed (includes the Single Source Layout pod entries also, though).  We'll see.
    Have a feeling I'll have to reinstall.
    Thanks for all your help.

  • URGENT: Is there any way to increase no of "Color Lables"?

    Hi there,
    Is there any way to increase no of "Color Lables" and the "Rating" in LR?

    There are many other ways to designate "categories" instead of color labels and stars. Keywords come to mind. Smart collections also do the job to designate where you are in your workflow.

  • Any way to increase BIS polling speeds?????

    Is there any way to increase the polling speed of the BIS for Earthlink? I have a mindspring email account (Earthlink) and it doesn't get pushed instantaneously to me. It usually just pulls a group of emails every 15 minutes or so. My other email account pushing to my BB Tour from my GoDaddy accounts come right away. Help anyone??

    No, there is not.
    A 15 (roughly speaking) cycle is routine on POP accounts. You can't change that. If the RIM servers find new mail, it reverts to 2 minute polling for a couple of cycles and should it find new mail yet again, retains that 2 minute polling cycle until which time it doesn't find new mail waiting, and then reverts back to the 15 minute cycle.

  • Is there any way of undoing a shuffle? The CDs I downloaded to iTunes have all been shuffled. As most of these are classical, it is inappropriate to have them separated into songs that play any old time. Can I restore them to the original albums?

    Is there any way of undoing a shuffle? The CDs I downloaded to iTunes have all been shuffled into individual 'songs'. As most of these are classical and folk, it is inappropriate to have them separated into songs that play any old time (ie, a movement from Beethoven's 5th symphony followed by a folk song followed by one excerpt from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, etc. Can I restore them all to the original albums and make sure the shuffle doesn't happen again?
    Thanks!

    Thanks! That has worked, but only partially - there are still some Beethovens mixed in with the Vivaldis. I'm sure I installed these as total albums.
    I have noticed that too from time to time, I generally move the files into the correct folder and fix the index in itunes when one won't open, occasionally.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

  • I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be? I sent it via FedEx.

    I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. However, my boyfriend sent in his the same time I did and his repair status says repair being diagnosed. I still have the "receipt" of the package when they first sent it to me. I sent it via FedEx. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be or maybe find out if I can still get a replacement even though my nano might be lost in transit?

    I sent it via FedEx. 
    Call FedEx.  They will be able to track their own packages.  They will let you know if your iPod Nano was delivered and to who!
