Bought a hp envy dv7 7212nr can i upgrade the mssd drive

Have an hp envy dv7 7212nr it has a mssd 32gGB can it be upgraded?

Hi,
Yes you can but you have to change/reconfig the setup. Like my machine, at this stage it's a "cache" drive for IRST

How can I upgrade the hard drive in my MacBook Air early 2014 11"?

i have a macbook air with a 128gb ssd drive and want to install a larger drive. where can I buy the drive from and how do I install it?

At the present time there are no third party PCIe SSDs available. Until some are produced for sale, the only alternative is to purchase a MBA with larger storage.

Satellite 1900-303: Can I upgrade the Hard Drive up to 120GB

I've a S1900-303 and I'm thinking of upping the Hard Drive to 120gb. What problems, if any, will I encounter and can I do it froom the Toshiba boot disk or should I just install XP from a XP disk?

Hi
As far as I can remember the Satellite 1900-303 was delivered with the 30GB HDD.
So in my opinion the 120GB HDD size is a little bit too big and I presume the notebook BIOS will not recognize this HDD!!!
I think you can use a 40GB, 60GB and maybe a 80GB HDD.
PS: you should search for the HDD with the enhanced IDE (ATA-5) interface!!!
Good luck and have a nice day

Can you upgrade the hard drive on the new MacBook pro?

i Am buying a new MBP 13" but need to know if the hard drive can upgraded easily in the future if I need a larger drive.

Actually you can. The SSD is a PCie blade type SSD, and although you'll need to dissamble the MacBook, replacement is possible on a 2014 MacBook Pro with Retina display.

It will void the warranty if you attempt this though.
RAM on the other hand is soldered to the Logic board.

Can I upgrade the Hard Drive on a macbook?

I am having all kinds of problems with my 2nd (in less than a year) WD external 1TB hard drive on my Macbook. I use it for my iTunes and iPhoto, as well as my Time Machine backup. So when my Macbook just stops seeing the hard drive that is a problem. The first WD 1TB My Passport HD did the same thing until I had to run the Mac HD repair program to see the hard drive. The problem persisted. I've ordered my third HD but this time it's a Seagate GoFlex USB 2.0. My Macbook has only a Firewire 400 and USB 2.0 ports. My iPhoto and iTunes files are too big to fit on my 160GB internal HD. Is there a Apple recommended internal HD upgrade to solve this problem? I have Mac OS X 10.7.3

You sure can, up to 1 terabyte. Check ifixit.com for comprehensive guides on how to do it. If you don't feel comfortable, have an authorized apple dealer do it.

Can I upgrade the Hard Drive on my Mac Mini (Late 2012)?

I bought a Late 2012 Mac Mini from Fry's. This was a mistake, never again.
Back to the point. I have 1Tb of HDD. My hope is that upgrading that to a Fusion Drive will improve performance. Is it even available for a box I already own (and acquired from an infidel)? If so, how much will that cost?

mrdwongsf this discussion concerns the late 2102 Mini. That model has two SATA connectors on the logic board. You seem to be discussing the 2014 Mini which, only has one STA port and one PCIe port as you describe
mrdwongsf wrote:
From iFixit's breakdown, it's not that simple or not possible because they removed the SATA port from the motherboard, but you should be able to install a PCIe SSD (blade-style). They have not verified that mod yet.

Envy DV7 7212nr - I need the BIOS backup file.

Hi,
I installed the Lojack software on my laptop and the windows stopped working and started showing a blue screenerror. Because of this my laptop don't work and I can’t restore or reinstall Windows.
My laptop is a Envy DV7 7212nr.
The only solution is to rewrite the BIOS chip. But the BIOS file that HP provides to download can not be written directly to the chip because it is very large and can only be used when the laptop is running normally (this is not my situation).
So I need a BIOS backup's file to get record the BIOS chip. But as I don't have this backup file, I need another laptop like mine to get this BIOS backup file.
So I need someone who has this laptop help me.
Please, if you have the Envy laptop DV7 7212nr and you know make a backup the BIOS, please send this backup file it to me.
If I do not get this BIOS backup file, I will not have to fix my laptop.
Recalling that the file that HP offers for download not work. I need the file obtained by backup BIOS directly of a laptop Envy DV7 7212nr that is running normally.
Thank you.

This is the process to rollback to working version of BIOS.
1-Immediately after powering on hold/tap the Esc key.
2-When the menu appears, tap F2 for System Diagnostics.
3-In the list of items will be BIOS Management.Use the arrow key to move down & highlight it.Press Enter key.
4-You should now have a Rollback BIOS option.Use arrow key again to highlight and press Enter key.

HP ENVY DV7-7212nr Possible Motherboard Failure?

HP ENVY DV7-7212nr
Windows 8 (Factory) upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro thru Windows Store.
8 GB DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2GB GDDR5
750 GB HDD with 32 GB mSSD Cache
Ralink RT3290 WiFi Card (Starting dropping connections a few days before this happened)
Last night, I was using my laptop normally, and set it down to play a game. During the game, it died, and not even thinking about it, i just returned it to my desk for the next day.
Well, today, I charged it up, and went to turn it on and I get next to nothing! The power LED remains on solid, and the hard disk activity is solid for about 2 seconds before shutting off. The screen is blank, there are no blink or beep codes and the WiFi LED does not change colors indicating the computer has at least booted.
Being an IT technician, I removed the RAM and reseated it. That did not help. I also tried booting without the hard drive plugged in. That did not help either. I also tried the Win+B BIOS recovery with my hard drive and a USB drive, and no luck there iether. The last (probably) worst part is this...I removed the RAM and powered on without it, and still, no blink or beep codes.
At this point, I believe that my laptop has a failed motherboard, but I just want to check from now until I get the chance to call HP support if there is anything else I can try. My warranty expires in only three weeks, so at least it happened before, not after.
Also, does anyone know the direct phone number to HP support that is on-shore in the USA. I have never had a good turn-out speaking with the off-shore support, and would love to work with someone who can help me better right off the bat.
Thanks!

Envy dv7-7212nr and Windows 7 64Bit

Just finished downgrading Envy dv7-7212nr from Windows 8 to Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit. Below is the list of drivers and software paks needed to get everything working.
Hope this helps any of you having issues with wireless or fingerprint drivers. All function buttons and on/off buttons working as they should. You may need additional software if you changed your boot drive to SSD or if you change the wirless card as I did. Currently running an Intel SSD and Intel 7260 dual band wireless card.
Caveat: I have tried every combination of BIOS setting and boot possibilities to try to get Win7 to install in UEFI mode with no luck. Tried Microsofts boot procedure, rufus installer, installing from DVD, installing from USB. No luck. It gets through the boot and at the Windows opening screen with the floating squares merging together, it hangs. That's as far as it gets. Only success has been installing in Legacy mode. If anyone has a solution to this... I would be happy to listen.
Like I said... running fine in Legacy mode.
All of these upgrades were run AFTER all updates from Microsoft Windows Update were installed. You can then look for updates from this point on after doing the below installs.
All done with a clean install on a bare SSD using the Win7 iso files available from Microsoft web site.
Anyway... the drivers and sofpac installers below all work:
Intel Driver Update Utility Installer - avail at Intel site
Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller 1.0.101.255- avail at Intel site
sp64959 - Intel chipset driver
sp59653 - Realtek PCIE Controller
sp62291 - HP Support Assistant
sp63599 - UEFI Support Environment Diagnostics
sp64144 - 3D Drive guard
sp64205 - Intel My WiFi
sp64740 - Cyberlink Power 2 Go Software
sp64854 - Cyberlink Media Suite Software
sp64958 - IDT Audio Driver
sp64961 - Intel Management Engine Interface
sp64963 - Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver
sp64966 - nVidia High Definition Video driver
sp64969 - Realtek Card Reader
sp64968 - Realtek Local Area Network Driver
sp65424 - HP Cool Sense
sp65790 - Cyberlink LabelPrint Software
sp65795 - Cyberlink YouCam Software
sp65796 - Cyberlink PowerDVD Software
sp66111 - Synaptics Touchpad
sp67075 - Validity FingerPrint Driver
sp61399 - SimplePass Fingerprint Security Software
Hope this is a help to some of you. Machine runs great in Legacy mode with Win7 and these installs.
Again... if anyone has success in installing and setting up in UEFI mode - I sure would appreciate some detailed step by step instructions.
Thanks again!

'sHi,
Are you using this driver? Are you getting no sound from your microphone or is nothing being recorded?
Please go to Control Panel, Sound make sure that the Microphone option is set as default and that the mic levels are adjusted accordingly, not mute.

I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
/Applications/Aperture.app
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

I've just bought a new iMac with 2 TB hard drive. Can I partition the startup drive?

The reason I'm considering partitioning is - I'm going to transfer about 50 GB of family photos & music to the iMac. Over time the photos & music library is going to grow. My idea was to point the iphoto & itunes library to the new partition so that the application programs (that will will reside in partition 1), will not get congested with photos & music over time & degrade performance. Also, I dabble a little bit with the music editing program LOGIC & Sound Track Pro, which creates lots of little music files in the process.
In your case I would strongly recommend against partitioning, as dwb mentions a drive loaded with data on an
O SX system doesn't equate to performance loss. However partitioning does. If you were going to tell me you were partitioning to load different OS's on the computer then you would have a good reason to think about partitioning. My suggestion is do not partition.
What I would also recommend is getting some high quality high speed external HD's to store your photo and music libraries on. This helps keept the 2GB drive available while maintaining performance. I have 3 external HD's attached to my iMac, two are backup drives (1 Time Machine & 1 Bootable Clone) the third drive is for storing my my music, photo & movie libraries on. If you go this route the 3 drives I'd recommend are:

http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?id=10330
Personally I use the Lacie's however OWC or G-Tech would also be welcome on my desk.
Again if you want to take this path Apple has instructions for how to move the libraries to EHDs, if you want those links let me know.

Hi, we just bought a Macbook air and we can't find the 'reminders' app in the applications or through the spotlight search. Is there a link to download the app? I can't find it online or through the app store. Please help!

Reminders is automatically installed with 10.8 or above. A new Mac should have 10.9; it's possible that, with a third-party vendor, you have an earlier OS. Check under the Apple menu in the top left and click About This Mac. That will tell you what version of OS X you have.
