Can I replace my internal CD ROM with a DVD ROM?

I have an iBook G3 with the standard CD ROM drive.
I'd like to be able to replace that with an internal DVD player.
Is that possible and if so where can I purchase one?
Thanks

Hi Tracy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Do you want to install it yourself or have someone install it for you? You can find a combo drive for you iBook G3 at iFixit.com. You can get the guide here. Maybe MacService will install one for you.

HT4628 I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken

I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken. The problem is happen recently, I have to use an independent wireless card now. Thanks!

When you enable Internet Sharing in OS X, you are creating a separate sub-net.
There is no option to allow this to be a simple pass-through from Ethernet to AirPort (or the other way).
The problem is easily solved by getting an inexpensive wireless router. You can replace your current router OR disable the DHCP server on the wireless router and allow the wireless clients to get an IP address from the current router.

Check with the manufacturer of your printer.

Can you replace a powermac g5 mbd with and Intel mbd?

Can you replace a powermac g5 mbd with and Intel mbd?

I think you would have to do a lot of work in addition to just replacing the motherboard. Like getting a new power supply for instance as the cables won't match what Apple specs for their designed and built hardware. I think the best you can hope for is to reuse the Aluminum tower case, and that's about it.

How can i replace the standard ESS iview with my own iview

I want to replace standard ESS addr iview with my own WD developed by ABAP
I added the iview(my WDA) into standard ESS addr page.
(pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.pages/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.personal_information/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.cn/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.addr/com.sap.pct.erp.ess.addr)
And make it visible.
But I got this error in ESS PA addr :
WebDynpro Exception: Application PER_ADDRESS_CN Does Not Exist
Here is the error code :
Error code：ICF-IE-http-c:100-u:AC_WANGFZ-l:1-s:CE1-i:SAPCE101_CE1_01-w:0-d:20070514-t:172301-v:RABAX_STATE-e:UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION
So , how can i replace the standard ESS iview with my own iview?
Thanks

Can you see any Javascript EPCF code in the old iView ? You are surely just going to have to find it (if our hunch is correct) and analyse it and copy it into your new iView so that it functions in some way that at least does not error

Can I replace the internal harddrive in my Macbook Air 2011 A1369 with a larger drive?

I love my macbook Air 2011, A1369. I need a larger harddrive. Is it possible to replace the internal drive with a larger model?
Thank you.

How can I replace my internal hard drive on my Macbook?

I have a 13 inch aluminum late 2008 MacBook. The processor is 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 running OS X Lion 10.7.4. The hard drive is currently set up as follows:
Macintosh HD 132.5 GB (with only 1.32 GB free)
BOOTCAMP 26.69 GB (with 6.15 GB free)
I am unsure if this matters but here is the info just in case:
On my Macintosh HD I have:
Audio 3.04 GB
Movies 33.11 GB
Photos 36.98 GB
Apps 15.27 GB
Backups Zero GB
Other 42.78 GB
I only use 1 software program on my Bootcamp (which I hardly use but must keep to run an electric vinyl cutting machine). I have thought of re-partitioning the drive. But then I got thinking that maybe the drive is just too small and it's no use.
I also have an older Lacie 300 GB external hard drive that I use to keep all of my iTunes Library, most of my iPhoto library and most of my data. I have another older Lacie 300 GB external hard drive that I use exclusively for my Time Machine back ups.
I also have a Western Digital 2 TB external hard drive that I use to put all of my movies on so that I can play them on any of my computers or plug into my Play Station 3 and play them on any of my TV's.
I have considered just getting another Western Digital 2 TB external hard drive to use for virtually all of the files/pictures/movies/music etc. on this internal hard drive.
Right now I am unsure what the best move is to make. I spent 30 minutes on the phone with Apple Tech Support today trying to buy an internal hard drive to install myself. They were not very helpful (in fact he told me I would have to ship in my machine just to replace the battery which is NOT true). Is there anyone out there who can give me some advice on this situation? Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

For a new hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE
Or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
Here are video instructions on replacing the hard drive on the Aluminum Unibody http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbook_13_unibody/
To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.
Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Drive-Aluminum-External-Enclosure-Capacity/dp/B000XPS3U6/r ef=pd_cp_pc_3
If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5

Replace existing internal k430 SSD with a bigger one

I've just bought a Lenovo k430, it cames with a 64gb SSD disk with OS (Win 8.1) and a standard 2tb HD for documents and stuff. I've cloned the SSD disk to a bigger one (1gb Samsung) and would like t replace the internal ssd.
I've opened the case but i can't see any SSD mounted inside. Where is exactly located? I only can see the 2tb HD.
PLease help. Thanks.

OK, i've found it, i couldn't see it because it was "bare" with no case. Replaced, it works. I would like to put the new SSD exactly where the orignal one is but i can't see a way to do it, is not "tool free" as the standard disk and i would have to tear apart the pc AND the new Samsung disk.

Can I replace my current iPhone 5s with a new one in this case?

I just got my iPhone 5s two days ago, but it already has problems when I was trying to text with it while charging. The phone was doing all these random things like mis-sensed my typing really badly, jumping out to the main screen and even called the person I was texting. I even tried typing messages in Whatsapp, it constantly hides the keyboard from time to time and that's really irritating. While it's on lock screen, I could not slide to unlock it, I had to use my finger scan to access my phone in the end. The phone went normal again once I got the charge unplugged, but it went crazy again once I got it plugged in. I truely believe it's something wrong with the phone rather than the charger. Can I replace my current phone with a new one in this case?

Take it back. This is a warranty/purchase issue. We are just users here.

Can I replace an older Airport Extreme with a newer one by importing configuration file

Can I import the configuration file from an older Airport base station into a newer replacement Airport base station? It would seem this would save me a lot of extra work. First, it would hopefully save time by automatically configuring the new base station without me having to fiddle with the settings. Second, it might hopefully save some more time if I would not have to re-enter the network parameters for all the devices currrently connected to my Airport (wi-fi) network.
Read on for more details.
My old Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) is not a gigabit one. Moreover, it's been experiencing some hardware failures recently. So, I recently purchased a new Apple Airport Extreme (base station) that is a gigabit one (Model# ME918LL/A with 802.11ac Wi-FI). Now, I'd like to replace the older base station with this newer one with the MINIMAL amount of disruption and manual work possible.
Regards,
Tony

I relaced an older AEBS with the new one, recently, and did not need to import anything, but if you can save the configuration file from your old one, then you can import it to the new one. I've never tried that when I switched, and it didn't seem to matter which suggests the configuration file may be on disk somewhere.

NO. You will have to spend a good deal of money to get a high FPS machine and those aren't cheap to get.

Can I replace my A1226 model keyboard with one from a model A1260?

My A1226 keyboard has dead keys, somebody is parting out their A1260--Can I replace my keyboard with theirs?

Well, you didn't mention what hardware was involved.
It's difficult to know if laptop keyboards are interchangeable between different models. Typically the keyboards are made for the computer so unless the keyboards are exactly the same they may not be interchangeable. You can give it a try. You could also contact ifixit.com to see if they know.

Can I replace my Matshita CD drive with a superdrive?

I just purchased a G5 and was thrilled when I saw how easy it would be to transfer all of my old home video to dvd using imovie and idvd, however when I went to complete the first project my machine informed me that I would not be able to burn a DVD.
Can I replace my current drive with a superdrive?
If not, can I use an external burner?

You should run System Profiler to confirm it is not a superdrive. Only a few models of the iMac G5 had a combo drive.
You can get an external superdrive. OWC has some.

A drive with FireWire may provide better performance.
