Can't use new harddisk

Hello all,
I have a Problem with my T30 (2366-88G). I want to use a bigger harddisk, but it doesn't work. When I've plugged the new harddisk, the computer doesn't boot. A lock symbol is shown on the screen and I have no idea, what to type in. The harddisk is not password protected. I used the master and boot passwords but they didn't work.
Is it possible, that this notebook doesn't accept a different harddisk?
Thanx for help.
NA

Can I use the harddisk that I used for Time Machine on my previous computer on my new computer without deleting the old back-ups?

Can I use the harddisk that I used for Time Machine on my previous computer on my new computer without deleting the old back-ups?

Yes. See:

My only concern is that you may not have enough free space on the drive.

If you mean an Apple ID, you can as long as you did not use the IDto turn on Settings > iCloud Find My Phone, in which case your iPhone will lock on you.

Can I use new install disks for older computer?

I have a new MBP (which I'm very excited about!). I am going to pass my two-year old MBP to one of my college kids. I would like to wipe it clean as he will be transferring all of his own info onto it from his current MBP (which will then be passed down to another college kid). I can't find the original install disk. Can I use the ones that came with the new machine?

No. The install disks are specific to the model they ship with.
I've read that a Retail copy of Snow Leopard will allow you to essentially do a 'fresh' install of the OS, but it does not include the diagnostics and configuration features of your original system disks.
You can call Apple and order a replacement set of disks for a nominal charge (around $40, I think I've read.) Since you're keeping it in the family, that would be an important thing to have with the Mac in case you cannot locate the originals.

How can I use new apps on an old macbook?

Hi all.
I've been using macs since September now, and there are a number of things I've found infuriating about working on my Macbook...
My Macbook is an old, mid 2007 model, Version 10.6.8, with a 2.16Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and 4GB.
Unfortunately, this model of Macbook will not update to any later version. This means there are a lot of apps I cannot use on it.
I'm a filmmaking student, so editing is a huge part of my course. When downloading the newest version of any editing software (such as Premiere Pro or Avid Media Composer), the Macbook will simply refuse to install it, because it requires a newer version of OS X. This is just one example of the many things I cannot do due to the OS X version on here.
How can I get around using newer apps such as Premiere Pro with version 10.6.8? Baring in mind I'm a student so I cannot afford to spend money on a new hard drive or anything.
Also, if I have bought various games on Steam, but some of them are seemingly only playable on PC, can anyone tell me how I can get around playing those games on a Mac?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Steve

The Core2Duo MacBook (13-inch mid 2007) is rather dated, and to run a certain type
of software on that model you'd have to get the version which was current when the
computer model and the OS X versions it could run were prevailing. So an old version
of something you need (used, new-old-stock, etc) may do the job for a time.
Also, the Core2Duo series of early MacBook can run Lion 10.7.5 and that is about $20.
as a download with code you buy from the Apple Store online. There are a few updates
to the Lion version 10.7 once you went that far. Some older 10.6.8 capable applications
for Intel based Macs would probably still work OK in 10.7.5, but none of the PPC coded
third party applications would run without the Rosetta feature installed in Snow Leopard.
According to MacTracker database, your old Core2Duo is one of those which can run
Lion 10.7.5 at the latest, and a slight upgrade in RAM to 3GB total, is possible. Not sure
if any advantage of using two 2-GB chips would be seen as functional in there, but that
is an easy way to round off what is written as the higher supported amount of RAM. With
two of the 2 GB chips. Otherwise: one - 1 GB + one - 2 GB = 3GB lists as total.
A good repaired MacBook or MacBook Pro of earlier vintage isn't very expensive; some
companies offer the versions older than those available at the Apple Store refurbished
page, that still may be capable, yet not run the latest applications. And several of them
probably should not run Yosemite since their hardware may be marginal. Models that
cannot have their hardware upgraded to run a later OS X, should not be chanced.
Sites such as macsales.com sometimes offer used Macs, wegenermedia.com has a
few different models, since they repair computers and offer excess on their site. The
powermax company has some. Not sure who actually repairs what they sell, with an
exception to wegenermedia who does repair on-site and will accept repair orders.
The everymac.com site is helpful in comparing various build year model specifications
as is the downloadable database of update upgrade specs from http://mactracker.ca .
So, you can upgrade past Snow Leopard 10.6.8, but that may or may not break other
applications you may still be able to use from the preceding era of Mac software. Lion
also would probably prefer more RAM than SL 10.6.8, so you're max-ed out there.
The MacBook series has been discontinued for nearly 5 years (2006 to 2010) so their
last model was among the better ones. MacBook/Pro 13-inch Late 2012 remains good
since you could add RAM and possibly upgrade the hard disk drive. It's a non-retina.
Hopefully you can find a deal on some good condition later model MacBook or Pro.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can't use New iCloud account -

I moved and changed my email address so I changed my apple ID online, but it won't change on my iPhone, it still has my old email address,and I don't know the password to the old email…I have a new iCloud account but i can't use it.
I can't change it on my computer and cant change on my phone...sorry I don't know how to explain this any better...HELP!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
When you do this you may find that your password is not accepted. If this happens, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you have to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. 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 iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Can I use new Icons on my 8520

Is there a way to use new set of icons for my cell phone?

The way to do that is by installing other "themes." If you search for BlackBerry Themes you'll find lots out there.

Can i use new ipad charger for ipad 2 and vise versa

I have ipad 2 and i bought new ipad for my dad. Both ipads charge quickly with ipad2 charger as compare to new ipad charger.
So, my question is.. Is it okay to use new ipad charger for ipad 2 and vise versa...???

The iPad 1, iPad 2 and new iPad all use the same 10W charger.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at

Can i use new TC to connect wirelessly to home network and plug my tv into the time capsule for internet connectivity?

My new tv needs to plug into an ethernet port for internet connectivity.
I'm hoping it can plug into my TC however my TC is wirelessly connected to my current home network... how can i get this to work?
TC version A1470 (i think, brand new)
Many thanks.
Ben

If the TC is connected to a wireless network provided by another Apple router, then the TC extends the network by default, and the Ethernet ports are enabled on the TC.
If the TC is connected to a third party network wirelessly, then it must have been setup to "join" the wireless network. When the TC is set up this way, the TC becomes a wireless hard drive and nothing more. The Ethernet ports are not enabled when the TC "joins" a wireless network.
So, a logical first troubleshooting step would be to confirm "how" the TC is currently set up. To do that.....assuming that you are using a current or recent version of AirPort Utility on your Mac.......
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the TC icon, then click Edit in the smaller window
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the window
Check the setting for Network Mode and report on that

Messed with user acct name & now can't use new MacBook Pro I just received!

I ordered a MacBook Pro 17" i5 for my sister off eBay that was only about 2 months old and seemed brand new. When it arrived this week I charged it up and then began tweaking the prefs and parameters for her, including some custom things and attempting to set up personal accounts for both of us. Since it was not brand new I didn't have to go thru the usual welcome & set-up process. The seller had a generic name "macuser" as the sole user account with no password. When I went to set up the user accounts in the system prefs pane, I foolishly changed the user name from "macuser" to my chosen personal name. It confirmed all was changed successfully, but upon logging out and then attempting to restart it just hangs on the gray apple startup screen indefinitely. In hindsight, I realize I should've created a new user name and then logged in under that and only then deleted the original "macuser" name (although I'm not sure why it let me change the current one "successfully" if that was going to be an issue). I could've duplicated the user folder, named it what I wanted, then when I went to create the new account in system prefs it would ask me if I wanted to use that folder for the new name that it found.
The seller did not have or include any of the restore/install DVD's and I don't have a copy of Snow Leopard (still using Leopard on my MacBook Pro 15") to boot it up with. I'm sure it has to do with directory issues and the system now confused by the new user name created from the old one in this unclean, sloppy way. I tried rebooting in "safe mode" but that is not working (progress bar but still hangs on gray startup screen). Then, I thought about hooking the two MB Pro's together via FireWire and booting the new one up in target disk mode. I was able to access the files this way, but obviously I couldn't change anything via the system prefs of the new MB Pro while in target disk mode. The only thing I could possibly think of was to change the user name on the home folder back to "macuser" in case the computer was looking for that. To be safe I even duplicated that folder and renamed the duplicate with the personal name I had first switched in the system prefs pane (causing this mess). I figured if it had two duplicate user folders, one with each name, I could cover my bases. It would recognize one at least, whichever it was looking for: the original I changed sloppily and/or the new one that I replaced it with and was now registered in system prefs. But unfortunately, that still didn't work.
I was supposed to deliver it and set her up this weekend, but the DVD copies the seller made upon my request were sent out yesterday and probably won't be here until next week. I even thought of logging in as "sudo" or root user, but everything I've read about that seems to indicate you must first set some parameters on the computer to do that before restarting, which of course I cannot access it to do. I'm in quite a pinch, so any ideas I have not thought of would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Apparently the seller gets these wholesale in bulk (maybe at a discount since they are not brand new but still under original warranty and show that they are only a few months old). He said "they didn't send him any this time", but yeah, At the very least I should've gotten those DVD's with it. Maybe I'll ask him or look into securing the originals from Apple.
So is there nothing I can do until I get the discs?

Can't use new external TV as a monitor for my Satellite P100-240

Hi
I have connected my Toshiba to a new Panasonic LCD 32" via a VGA cable.
When The computer boots up, I get the standard Toshiba opening page and then the Windows XP opening on the TV monitor, but then nothing while my laptop boots up.
When fully booted, I get the same desktop as the Toshiba on my TV BUT no icons etc, just the desktop.
If I change the screensave on the Toshiba, it changes on the TV so I am getting a connection.
Any advice or help greatly appreciated.
I have tried the usual things (e.g. checking box for extend my desktop onto this monitor)

Who knows why the FN keys dont work on the Satellite P100-240 PSPA3E.
Maybe the drivers and the utility were muddled up!
If you use the original Toshiba image on this notebook then everything should works ok!
You could try to refresh for example the Hotkey Utility which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.
Furthermore the NVidia Geforce manager (you can find it in the control panel) provides different settings. Check this!

Can we use new Leopard Install Disk on an old Macbook?

I recently purchased a new Macbook which came with pre-installed Leopard. I also have an old Macbook which has Tiger running on it. I tried to upgrade my old machine to the new Leopard using the new disks that came with the new system. But it gives an error "Mac OS X cannot be installed on this computer". Does apple prevent such installation or is there something I need to do to avoid this error?

The Leopard which shipped with a MacBook Pro can only install on a MacBook Pro of the same age.
The Tiger that shipped with a MacBook Pro can only be installed on a MacBook Pro of the same age.
The retail Leopard which looks like * will only install on a MacBook Pro older than the release of Leopard labeled on the disk (i.e. if the MacBook Pro shipped before 10.5.1 was released and 10.5.1 is on the label of a disk of that label imaged above, then it will work).
The retail release of Tiger which looks like will not install on ANY MacBook Pro.
If you lost your original installation discs which came with a Tiger pre-installed MacBook Pro call Applecare for replacement discs as they are critical for repairing the MacBook Pro if it should need repair. AppleCare's number is here:
http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
If you are in that scenario having purchased from a non-authorized seller, ask the seller for the disc or to call AppleCare for the discs if they lost them as they must be always sold with the MacBook Pro they shipped with.

¿can i use new ipad's 3G connectivity in Spain with an ipad bought in EEUU?

I'm from Spain. My parents will buy me an new ipad in EEUU, and i want to know if they will can buy it without AT&T or Verizon as carrier. i want to use a spanish carrier but i don't know if it will work with an ipad bought in EEUU.
Thanks!

The US iPad Wifi + 3G bought from Apple or ATT is NOT network locked.
Stay clear of Verizon however as these have CDMA and not GSM radio.
(Effectively if you were to buy one from them you would simply have an overpriced WIFI model internationally)
There are just a very few places where the iPad is being network locked and that includes surprisingly the very competitive UK mobile services.
Specifically Orange (UK) is one - They block there subsidised iPad offerings for a minimum of three months then charge £20 for un-blocking !
