Can I chang HardDrive from iMac Core 2 Duo ?

Hello ,
I have a iMac core 2 duo 17", I want chang the HDD by my self,Cann't I? or How?

The hard drive in an iMac is not considered a user-replaceable item. If you replace the hard drive and later have to get the computer repaired while in warranty, your warranty will likely not be honored. Any damage or defects occurring after you replace the hard drive could be considered caused by replacing drive, thus voiding the warranty.
Although I would recommend you have the work done by an authorized Apple technician, the decision is yours to make. It's your risk. You'll find disassembly help here.

  • I want a new Imac Core 2 Duo how do I move my files from my PowerPC G3?

    I want to get a new Imac Core 2 Duo but I can't figure out how to move my old files from my very old PowerPC G3 to a new Imac when I get it -- which I hope is very soon. The G3 has a CD drive but it is not a CD burner, has a Zip Drive, does not have firewire ports or USB ports -- how on earth can I move my stuff over to the new computer? It does have a 10baseT port [I think that's what it is] -- maybe that's the key? I hope someone can help.
    PowerPC G3 Mac OS 9.1.x

    2sockeye, yes, you can use the new mac's Migration Assistant Program to help you move files etc to your new mac via a firewire connection.
    Before you do that, search more on "migration" etc on this Discussion; Move only your data files (music, photos) as much as possible but do not move applications and especially system files, preferences that may or will override what's in your new Intel mac, it will cause corruption or an unstable system.
    Download and install all the applications from ground up, especially 3rd party utilities etc - look for the Universal versions (either stated, or with a blue "ying yang" logo)
    Cheers

    No, when you go through the beginning of setting up your new Mac, a page with the Migration Program would appear, and ask you questions on how and what kind of migration you want to perform, it will also ask you (with given instructions) connect the 2 macs up with a firewire cable - this cable goes into your firewire ports
    If you don't have a firewire port on your old computer, then search again in this Discussion and under the Support tab, whether on how to transfer data on macs without FW ports

  • Can I buy 1 TB of space for a iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz 2GB 24'' Desktop?

    My brother is looking to buy this computer:
    iMac Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz 2GB 24'' Desktop
    Specs are:
    Item specifics - Apple Desktops
    Condition: Used
    Processor Type: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Product Family: iMac Processor Speed (per Core): 2.16 GHz
    Screen Size: 24 inches Processor
    Configuration: Dual Core
    Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Memory (RAM): 2 GB
    Primary Drive: Superdrive
    Hard Drive Capacity: 250 GB
    My question is, can he add 1 terabyte of space to this computer? The seller says the Hard drive is defective so he would need to replace it, or is the real capacity up to to 250 gigs?
    Also, if the drive is defective and he buys an external drive can the defective drive ever affect the external drive and how it functions?
    I dont even know why he would need a terabyte of space.... but he is guy what can I say lol

    As long as the replacement HD is the same physical size the capacity doesn't matter. Be aware this is an old machine (about 4 years) so I hope he is not investing too much in it. If he's spending over $500 for it I would strongly recommend he buy an Apple Refurbished iMac instead. These machines are covered by Apple's 1 year warranty and are also eligible for AppleCare. Overall a much wiser decision.
    Regards,
    Roger

  • HT3231 Can i migrate keynotes from iMac to Macbook Pro?

    Can I migrate Keynotes from iMac to Macbook Pro?

    Do you mean the program itself? If so then if it was bought from the Mac App Store just logon to the MAS with the same Apple ID you used when you bought it and redownload and install on the new Mac.
    If it was bought on DVD then get that DVD out and install in on the new Mac then run Software Update to bring it up to its most current version.
    If you mean the Keynotes you created then just copy them over your LAN from one Mac to the other.

  • Can Airdrop move Contacts from iMac to MacBook Air?

    Can Airdrop move Contacts from iMac to MacBook Air?

    Yes and no. AirDrop is used to send a file from one computer to another. A Contact isn't a file so AirDrop isn't the best way to move contacts from one computer to another. If you own both an iMac and MBA and want to keep the two computers synced, the easiest way is to create an iCloud account on both computers. Any calendar event, to do, contact, or note you create on one will sync to the other. If you just bought a MBA and want to move data to it from your iMac you should use Apple's migration assistant. Personally I think the easiest way to migrate is to perform a backup of the old computer to a USB external drive using TimeMachine and then connect the TimeMachine to the new computer and use Migration Assistant.
    But can you exchange contacts using AirDrop? Yes. Select the contact(s) you want to transfer, export them as vcards to a temporary folder. Then AirDrop the folder to your MBA. Now run Contacts and then drag the vcards onto the Contacts program icon in the Dock.

  • I have iphone 5 can i change it from apple and pay the difference bettween both value

    Ask your retailer.  At worst, you can sell your iPhone 5 independently (of Apple and your retailer) and separately purchase the later model.

    Thanks for the help. That was exactly  the fix I needed. With the expense of the photoshop software you'd think the company would fix stuff like this via updates. Merry Christmas.

  • I would like to access an old Time machine back up from a Core 2 Duo Macbook, but no longer have a Mac. Can I access the backup from a cheaper old ibook, or would I need a Macbook. Is the OS important?

    I would like to access an old Time machine back up from a Core 2 Duo Macbook, but no longer have a Mac. I am going to buy a used machien to acess this. Can I access the backup from a cheaper old ibook, or would I need a Macbook. Is the OS important?

    right click on the folder that shows with the red negative sign, and select to "get info".  In the long skinny window that appears, look in the "sharing and permissions" section.  In the "name" column, you should see your current user name.  Ensure the "privilege" is set to Read and Write.  If your user name is not in the name column, click the + sign, and add it, ensuring the privileges are set to Read and Write

  • HT5621 Updated Apple ID- the iCloud is still autopopulating my other ID email address and I can't change it from my iCloud, iPhone or anything.

    Updated Apple ID- the iCloud is still autopopulating my other ID email address and I can't change it from my iCloud, iPhone or anything. I've updated my Apple ID through my PC, and iTunes Store, but it will not populate and I am losing my mind. This is ridiculously frustrating

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).
