Can I swap out my Combo drive for a Super drive?

Hey guys,
I have 1GHz G4 iMac Dual USB & was wondering if I could replace the Combo Drive with a "Super" Drive.
Any ideas?

Ben,
You can do it, but do you really want to? I think an external is a better option. Having two DVD drives is a huge advantage. It makes copying DVDs a snap.
Here's the link to how to change the drive. It will give you a look at what your in for if you attempt it.

  • Can I swap out my mechanical HDD for a Solid State?

    Can I swap out my mechanical HDD (7200 RPM, 320Gb) for a solid state drive? If so, am I able to purchase such a drive, like the ones that come standard in Macbook Pros on the Apple site? Can I purchase an item like this from Apple?
    If not, could someone point me in the right direction?
    Also, on the same note, is it possible purchase replacement Mechanical HDD (like the one I already have) from Apple; if so, a link please?
    Cheers!

    You'll find everything you need here, swapping them is easy just get the right tools and take it slowly.

  • If I have a bootable copy of a disk running 10.4.11, is there any reason I can't swap out the internal drive of a newly purchased Mac Pro and have it boot from the tiger disk? Thanks very much for any insight.

    or is there some sort of built in protection against this.

    In addition, if you are talking about an older machine like a G4 or earlier with PATA drives, the Mac Pro uses SATA drives, so this is not a simple swap out, but if there's room an adapter like this might work in that situation:

    so that you could use the drive in the new computer to copy the data files, not for booting the OS.
    If you need to transfer files from one machine to the other, you could do this over a network, or use FW target drive mode, or get a universal bare drive cable adapter.

    I have an older MacBook Core Duo and I see the newer MacBook Core 2 Duo can connect using 802.11n?
    Is it possible to swap out the airport card in my MacBook with an updated one to get the faster speeds?

    Yes, there are third-party cards that will work. QuickerTek has one that should work.

  • Can i swap a broken iphone 4 for a new white one?

    can i swap a broken iphone 4 for a new white one?

    No, you cannot. The only option you have is to sell the old phone to someone (i.e. Craig's List, eBay) and purchase the white one. You can either try to purchase subsidized somewhat or purchase outright. Any warranty or out of warranty exchanges at Apple are for the same size, color, model of phone you bring in.

  • Can I swap out DVD drive with CDR drive?

    I have the DV model and saw a "Slot Load 24 X CD Drive for iMac G3" on eBay. I already have a stand alone CD burner but was thinking about taking out the DVD drive and swapping it with a CDRW. Is this possible for the spring 2001 DV and how hard is it? Thanks

  • Can I switch out a hard drive for an SSD without having to clone the existing hard drive, and then install Yosemite from an USB Boot Drive onto the new SSD?

    Can I simply replace a hard drive with a new SSD and just install Yosemite from a USB boot drive onto the SSD? I recently bought a used MBP and it has absolutely no files on it except for the OS, and so I'm assuming I don't need to clone the current hard drive as I can just reinstall the OS onto the new SSD.

    Just a quick follow up question, is formatting the SSD with HFS+ done in Disk Utility?...
    It's possible that the SSD will be set up for use on a PC, which means it will have a Master Boot Record partition table rather than a GUID Partition Table, which is what Yosemite needs. In Disk Utility, select the SSD and click the Partition button. Create a new Partition Layout and click the Options... button at the bottom. You'll likely see MBR is selected. Choose GUID instead and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for the Format.

  • Can you swap out the logicboard of an older model mac for a newer one?

    So i just bought a mac on ebay, its in good working condition, however i was wondering if i was able to swap out an older model logicboard for a new one.  The mac i currently have is a unibody mac, MB466LL/A, and the logic board i was looking to possible switch it out with would be the (Logic Board 661-6158 820-2936-B.)  Let me know if this is possible.  Work on computers often and have built many pc's so that aspect will not be a problem, im just wondering if this request is feasible.

    Yes, its possible.
    Step one: Buy a second, fully working MacBook of the model you want.
    Step two: Sell the first MacBook you bought.

  • Can I swap out Pegasus RAID HDs?

    I'm looking at buying a thunderbolt RAID system and my eye is trained on the Pegasus 4TB RAID system. My plan is two buy it and take out 3 of 4 of the HDs and replace them with my 3 Hitachi 7200rpm 2TB HDs which would give me more capacity. Can I do this? I'm new to RAID and just want to be certain I can swap out the HDs before buying it.

    Will be a miracle if it works with ther certified drives, I cannot imagine what you can see with other drives....
    good luck!
    No support if you change their original drives but you can put back them in case of a unit failure.
    R4 shoud support any up to 4tb hdd.
    My R4 arrived DOA just to tell you how is serious this company....they assemble and ship, the final test will be at your home with your waste of time for tests and waiting new units .
    I will never buy again from Promise specially at this top prices where you can expect at least a basic quality.

  • Swapping out the hard drive?

    Is it really THAT easy? It looks like it just slides right out after you remove the battery and the L bracket. I just got my MacBook yesterday and want to swap out the 120 GB drive for one of the 250 GB drives. I'm looking at either a Samsung Spinpoint M series or the WD Scorpio. I can get either at NewEgg for less than $200. Any thoughts are appreciated. I'm new on this forum from the G5 forums.
    Thanks

    Glad I could help. Thanks for the . Good luck with the wife:->

  • Will apple swap out my ipo touch for free? I was trying to put it in my wristlet and it slipped out of my hand onto cement. It still works and there is no pieces missing out of te screen.

    Will apple swap out my ipod for free bc I was putting it in my wristlet and it slipped out of my hand and fell on cement. It still works and there is no prices out Iliad the screen. It's only a week old.

    As lllaass said, you'll have to go to the Apple Store and ask. Apple is not obligated to replace your iPod, since user-caused damage is not covered by warranty, but in some cases in the past a technician has made exceptions. Such exceptions, though, are reportedly becoming much harder to grant. But you can ask.
    Regards.
