Can I swap an HDD from A1226 into an A1150?

I have a friend with 2 older MBP with different parts either going or gone. The logic board on the A1226 is shot but the HDD and Optical drive are good(and just so happen to be bad on the other MBP A1150). I want to swap out the 2 drives into the A1150. I know I can swap them out easily,I've done it several times on my old MBP, but will the computer boot up as is ?

If the machine in which you are going to transplant this HDD requires Snow Leopard, then you cannot boot it with a Tiger system. However, the other way around will work fine.
Simply put you cannot use an OS X version earlier than the version of OS X that shipped with the computer when it was new.

Can I swap a HDD from a MacBook to a MBPro?

I currently have a unibody MacBook that I am thinking about donating to a new college student and buying myself a new MacBook Pro. I just put a 1TB HDD in my MacBook and would like to know if I could expect to just pop that into a new MacBook Pro and expect it to work? Otherwise I would have to migrate all my applications and data files which I know works pretty good but if I could just swap the HDD into the new MBP, that would be simpler. I intend to replace the removed hard drive with the original 250gb drive that was in the computer from Apple. Thoughts?

I would expect that to work fine, I've done it in the past even going from a G3 to a G4 Mac. You may get advice that it is better to re-install in the new machine and I wouldn't say that is wrong. Look at it this way; if you try the swap and it doesn't work, then you know you have to start over with the current drive in the new machine. I would have to believe you can't hurt anything by trying, I would expect your worst case to be the new machine won't boot with that drive, or it boots and runs into other issues, but nothing that would actually harm anything.
I would bet that it will likely work just fine.

Can I swap my HDD from compaq 621 to compaq C700 (FF411PA#ACJ)

I have a two laptops of same company compaq but different models both shows a problem. One problem is HDD and another problem is motherboard sothat I decided to that I changed the HDD. (1) Compaq 621 - Support for 9.5-mm, Serial ATA, 160-GB, 5400-rpm and (2) Comapq C700 (FF411PA#ACJ) - Support for 9.5-mm, Serial ATA, 320-GB, 7200-rpm. Am I changed or not because difference of 5400rpm and 7200 rpm ?

Maybe a tiny bit more heat but the laptop will have no problem handling it. If heat concerns you get a solid state drive. They have no moving parts so generate almost no extra heat. Seriously, today's 7200 rpm drives produce less heat than 5400s from a few years back. If you get one with a large cache of 32 megs it can actually produce less heat than a 5400 rpm with an 8 meg cache because the drive will be accessed a bit less.

Can I paste football table from Safari into Numbers by Dec 23?

*Can I paste a table from Safari into Numbers - and get a table?*
Whether I use Paste or Paste Match Style (?) it just goes into one column, which is useless. Same result in Pages. But in the Appleshop demo I copied the table from Safari into Excel and it created a proper table.
Apologies if this is already answered. I am new to Mac and to iWorks. I've only got the evaluation version of iWorks v1.0. I was going to get the full version by Xmas - but this is a real showstopper. If I can't use the spreadsheet on web tables (price comparisons, stocks, etc etc) then iWorks won't do.
If it can't do this, are there any other solutions out there? Thanks.
*_Problem Description_*
1. In Safari select and Copy a table (here's the football league table http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/table/default.stm)
2. Paste the table into Numbers - as a table (not as a single column)
3. sort the table on descending GD

Hello
Some times ago, I posted a script for this kind of problem but I just discover (with your table) that I forgot a case.
Here is a revised version which I will put soon on my iDisk.
-- [SCRIPT Tables2Numbers_v5]
property nbCols : "3"
property english : true (* true= English messages, false = Messages Français *)
property msg1 : ""
property list1 : {}
if msg1 = "" then my prepareMessages()
set theDatas to (get the clipboard as text)
if theDatas does not contain tab then
set nbCols to text returned of (display dialog msg1 default answer nbCols)
set nbCols to nbCols as integer
set my list1 to paragraphs of theDatas
set nb to count of my list1
set nbRows to nb div nbCols
set newDatas to ""
repeat with i from 1 to nbRows
repeat with j from 1 to nbCols - 1
set newDatas to newDatas & (item (j + (i - 1) * nbCols) of my list1) & tab
end repeat
set newDatas to newDatas & (item (j + 1 + (i - 1) * nbCols) of my list1) & return
end repeat
set the clipboard to newDatas
else
set the clipboard to theDatas
end if
set my list1 to {}
on prepareMessages()
if english is true then
set msg1 to "How many columns ?"
else
set msg1 to "Nombre de colonnes ?"
end if
end prepareMessages
-- [/SCRIPT]
If you grab your table in the clipboard after counting the columns (here 16)
run the script
After that you may paste the table in Numbers (or in AppleWorks)

HT2500 Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

Can I import my contacts from Gmail into Apple mail (Snow Leopard)?

That says Reset Documents and Data, not Contacts.
I want you to go to www.icloud.com, login and see how many contacts are there, because they are all the iCloud contacts. Any contacts that are not there, are not on iCloud.

Can't copy a song from library into playlist. Screen message says "song can't be found." I know it's there, how do I access it?.

Can't copy a song from library into playlist. Screen message says "song can't be found." I know it's there, how do I access it?.

I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

I have no idea what you mean by that. This is what you need:

Also, is your iPhone 3 carrier locked? If so, only a sim from the carrier your phone is locked to will work.

Can I drop my HDD from my C2D MBP straight into an i5 MBP?

I've got a MBP Core2Duo 2.26. I upgraded the drive in it myself to a 7200rpm 500gb Western Digital. It's running 10.6.6.
I'm getting a 2011 i5 MBP next week with a 320gb drive. Can I just drop the HDD from my old MBP into the new one?
Obviously my 'old' drive is bigger, is 7200rpm and has all of my data on it.
So is this possible without having to reinstall snow leopard etc? Will it just work?

Not without installing OS X. The OS on the new machine will be a different build. Your system will not fully work with the new machine unless the new machine comes with 10.6.5 or earlier installed.

How can I drag multiple photos from iPhoto into a Word Document

I'm creating a collage of photos for a friend and in order to get the photos to the right size and print them without trouble I need to drag all of the photos from a certain album in iPhoto into an empty word document. Is there a way to do this? If not, why not?

It's best to drag one photo at a time from the open iPhoto window into the open Word document window. Resize the photo. Then drag the next one and resize.
If you have iWork a better solution is to use Pages. That way you can resize the drag the photos into any location on page, even overlapping other photos, whereas in Word it has to be on a separate line or small enought to fit two on a line. You can access the iPhoto Library from the Media Browser in Pages without iPhoto having to be open.

Can I bring an animation from Photoshop into iMovie?

I wanted to know if you can bring an animation made in Photoshop, into iMovie? I'm making a video in iMovie and I really need this animation in the video but I don't know if it's possible.

No.
You have to make (export) from iPhoto to make the video first.
