Does anyone know if the Toshiba 240GB 1.8" MK2431GAH Hard Drive will work in the 4th gen iPod Photo?

I've been considering buying a Toshiba 240GB 1.8" MK2431GAH Hard Drive for my 4th gen iPod Photo.  Does anyone have any information about this product and if it will work?  Would I have to also get a thicker back panel?

And the reason is because the connector on the later versions of the Toshiba 1.8-inch hard drives is different.
The older type that works with your iPod goes up to 60GB.  There are two physical sizes, base on whether the drive has one platter or two platters, and these correspond to the "thick" and "thin" iPod back panels.
I have a 4th gen iPod with a standard compact flash card for storage, which replaces the hard drive through an adapter.  I believe it's this one, or one like it
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Compact-Flash-CF-SSD-To-Toshiba-IPod-1-8-inch-Adapte r-Black-/121174875639
It fits in the "thin" back panel.  The only modification I needed to make was bending over the pair of "jumper" pins that sets it for master or slave (needs to be set for master).  Currently, I only have an 8GB CF card in there, but it works great.  At some point, I may get a 64GB CF card for it.  Solid state storage is much better than a hard drive for everything except sheer capacity.

  • Does anyone know where I can buy a 750GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm for the new mac mini??

    There is a mac mini teardown for the new model at this site: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Mac-Mini-Mid-2011-Teardown/6131/1. Here it says that the user can easily upgrade their own mac mini hard drive, but does any place sell a 750GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm for mac mini that you know of???
    Thanks in advance.

    My source for hard drives has, for years, been newegg.com. They have good selection, good prices, and speedy delivery. Also, a broad selection of user comments. You can find their 2.5" laptop 750GB serial ATA 7200RPM drives at http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007605%2060003059 9%20600003340&IsNodeId=1&name=7200%20RPM

  • Hi guys, I recently got a new MacBook Pro with a USB Superdrive. A disc won't eject, does anyone know of a way to eject it? I'm in Morocco for the next 10 days so going to an Apple store is not possible. Any help would be gratefully received, thanks

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
          left mouse button until the disc ejects.
      2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
      3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
      4. Press COMMAND-E.
      5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
          your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
            /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • Does anyone know how to upload email contacts on my iPhone from iTunes without loosing the phone contacts previously transfered from my older phone??

    Does anyone know how to upload email contacts on my iPhone from iTunes without loosing the phone contacts previously transfered from my older phone??

    Good Afternoon irish357,
    I know the importance of saving and updating your contacts. What type of phone do you have? If you are using Backup Assistant, you have the ability to sync the contacts between your laptop and phone. You will also be able to see if all your contacts are stored on the online portion of the application versus the phone itself. The contacts should be the same for both online and the phone.
    I have attached a link below for your reference.

    I hope this information is helpful in resolving your concerns.

  • 3GS battery exploded. I know it's a long shot, but does anyone know if I took it to an apple store if they'd be able to get my photos off it? Or are they long gone?

    The iPod's battery may be shot, especially after going without use for a couple of months.  And yes, you can bring it to your local Apple store to have them take a look at it.  They'll be able to determine what your options are.

  • HT1338 i have about 88,000 songs in my music library, some are duplicates. Does anyone know of any Apple Product or 3rd party software that will identify and remove duplicates.

    I have about 88,000 songs in my music library, some are duplicates. Does anyone know of any Apple Product or 3rd party software that will identify and remove duplicates.

    Backup your music to an external source before doing this, just in case you delete the originals by accident.
    iTunes will show you the duplicates.  But I recommend tagging their comments or another field once selecting them to ensure you don't accidentally delete both the original and duplicate.  You can always select all of them and change all their comment tags at once.  Once you've done that, stop showing duplications, and then sort by the comment field.  This will allow you to determine whether only the duplicates were shown in the show duplicates, or the originals.  If you see any without comments, then you can go ahead and delete the duplicates.

    There seems to be a problem, just now, with the USB 3 ports on the new MBP's supporting eternal USB 3 drives. Some people have no luck at all - can't even recognize the drive - and some are reporting USB 2 speeds (those who drives are recognized). I'd call a dealer such as LaCie or OWC to see if they have USB 3 drives that actually work with MBP's with USB 3 ports. You may have to wait for a software/firmware update.

  • I have a MDD dual 1.25ghz processors and I would like to know which sata drives will work with the Sonnet Seria ATA pci card?

    Which sata drives will work with the Sonnet Tempo Serial ATA card?

    Pretty much any of the SATA 3.0 Gbps drives.
    Western Digital Black and Blue and Hitachi 7K drives are all good choices.
    If you try a SATA 6.0 Gbps drive, it will need to be jumped to limit to SATA 3.0 Gbps.

  • Problems getting an external hard drive to work on the new Airport Extreme

    I have spent hours trying to get my 320GB external hard drive to work with the new airport extreme 802.11N. I have spent hours pouring over all of the posts here discussing possible solutions, all of which have not worked. This morning, however, I gave it another try and FINALLY, I have it working. I tried something simple. Here it is:
    Using the Apple Disk Utility Program, I formated my drive using the MS-DOS mode, called my Hard drive "ItunesHD". It took about 20 minutes to complete (i'm assuming because of the size of the drive). I then unplugged the router and hard drive, turned on the hard drive, then the router. After my macbook pro reconnected, I clicked on the iDisk utility icon in my menu bar, provided my password and FINALLY saw the network drive icon on my desktop!!! It seems that formatting my drive using MS-DOS compatibility mode finally worked for me. I'm not saying this will work for anyone else who is having this problem, but you can at least try it. I tried all of the MAC formatting options and have had no luck.
    What I would like to know now is (..if anyone has these answers, please let me know):
    1. What is the maximum SINGLE drive capacity that this router will understand...500GB, 1TB, 2TB? I would like to get the biggest bang for my buck.
    2. Keeping #1 one in mind, I purchased an Apple TV (still waiting on it to arrive) and I would like to know if it will read multiple hard drives connected to the Airport Extreme router (...say (2) 500GB hard drives). I know you can have multiple libraries in iTunes (which to me is a cheesy solutions, there should be an option in the preferences that would allow you to save your music in one place and your movies in another). Anybody have any idea on this one?
    I basically want to rip all of my dvd movies on a big hard drive connected to my airport extreme to use with my AppleTV , so I just need to find out about the maximum size and hooking up more than one hard drive and getting the AppleTV to recognize them all.

    Sorry you had so much trouble hooking up a hard drive to the base station. I've done some experimenting with the feature and this is what I've found out.
    You can use either the native Mac format, Mac OS Extended, or the Microsoft format known as FAT. Apple calls FAT, MS-DOS File System in Disk Utility.
    If you use Mac OS Extended, the Macs on the network will be able to connect to the drive using the native AFP (Apple File Protocol) or the Microsoft native SMB (Server Message Block) protocol. PCs will only use the SMB protocol of course.
    If you use MS-DOS File System both the Macs and the PCs will only use SMB to connect to the drive over the network.
    Basically I've found everything works as expected with regard to volumes connected to a network.
    One thing I don't have installed is the iDisk Utility. I'm wondering if it may be the cause of the problems you were having. But reading through your post it may also be the difference between expected behaviour and the proper procedure for discovering and mounting network volumes. Let me explain.
    You only mention having trouble getting the drive to show up on your Desktop, you didn't describe how you went about discovering the network drive. It isn't just suppose to show up on your desktop when you plug it in to the Extreme base station. It doesn't work like the iDisk or disks connected directly to your computer using USB/Firewire.
    Normally with network drives you're suppose to either browse for them using the Network icon in the Finder or using the Connect to Server command in the Finder's Go menu, you would type the address in directly for the network volume you want to mount. Try it and see what happens.
    Now to answer your other questions.
    I don't have a volume large enough to hit any limits the base station may have but I did read a post about someone who said they had a 1.5 TB volume connected and could only see 1 TB of it. They were forced to partition the drive to see all available space and of course the volumes showed up as two separate drives. One thing wasn't made clear though. They didn't say what volume format they were using to format the drive, Mac OS Extended or MS-DOS.
    Everything having to do with the AppleTV is just speculation at this point since no one has one yet but from what has been demonstrated so far, AppleTV relies on iTunes. In other words, it won't pull data from network volumes on its own, a computer running iTunes needs to feed it.

    When I'm travelling I import photos onto my laptop's external hard drive and work on the images using virtual copies to develop them. When I get home, I want to import all the photos together with the developed virtual copies fromt the laptop's external HD into LR5 on my PC desktop. But if I use the import button in LR I only get the original photo, not the developed copies. What am I doing wrong?

    Since your current editing workflow is based around Virtual Copies there are no actual files containing the edit data. Therefore, you'll need to use the 'Import from another catalog' option ( see File menu).

  • What SSD drives will work in the GT60 0NE?

    I'm about ready to give up on my GT60.  I have purchased two different SSD drives and neither one is recognized in the bios when placed in the first drive slot.  They are recognized in the 2nd drive slot, but not the first.  I've updated everything, bios and firmware.  Will someone tell me what model and brand SSD drive will work int the GT60?  When the operating system is install in the second drive slot, i can't use the first drive slot for data because it won't boot windows.  So, i have to leave the first drive bay empty.  Tech support could not help me.

    It's rather difficult to recommend a drive....
    What drives did you already try?
    Are you trying to use the SuperRaid drives?
    Do you need a normal 2.5" drive or mSATA drives?
    Honestly, any drive should work, it just may not work perfectly. For instance, Samsung 840 Pro drives are known to only operate at SATA II speeds, even when installed in the SATA III slot.
    Any Sandforce 2281 based drive should work fine. Intel 520 series should work well, along with 530 as well.
