    Assuming there is no hardware problem try reinstalling Yosemite. If this does not work then take it back to the Apple Store.

  • Question on Replacing the Optical Drive on my G5?

    I'm trying to replace the Optical drive on my G5 Power Mac. The instructions are very clear.
    1. unplug your G5
    2. open it
    3. open the two latches below the drive
    4. slide the drive out of the bay
    5. disconnect all cables
    6. detach the sliders on the bottom of the drive
    7. attach them to the new drive
    8. connect the cables
    9. slide it into place and close the latches
    10. close cover
    But my optical drive is stuck solid in the little slides.. It wont budge.
    Has anyone got any suggestions who has done this before?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    Yes, some can seem frozen in place, you need to pry or tap it gently to not so gently to break it loose sometimes, I had to use a screwdriver to jiggle mine loose, have you seen the installation video?

  • I want to replace the optical drive in my iBook with a SATA-SSD.

    I want to replace the optical drive in my iBook with a SATA-SSD (using a HDD-caddy PATA to SATA) and use that as my OS disk. Is there a speed difference between the ATA connections of the optical drive and the hard drive? Mactracker tells me that the Hard Drive Bus is Ultra ATA/100 (ATA-6), but there is no information to the Bus of the optical drive. Is it the same?

    There may be a kit from OWC to replace the optical drive in the old iBook G4 with an SSD. They have similar items for other portable Macs of the era where optical drives still were inside.
    They do have what they call a 'legacy' ATA/IDE SSD series of portable computer drive for use in older type architecture, but I don't see the kit to replace the optical drive with an SSD on the same page... They do offer a live chat on the page, though. So it is possible to ask questions and hope you get matching results...
    •OWC Mercury Legacy Pro:
    For all laptops that use a 2.5" IDE/ATA Drive
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Mercury_Legacy_Pro
    I'd considered upgrading my iBook G4 (mid-2005) 12" 1.33GHz computer with an SSD because the original 38GB HDD is rather tight with Leopard OS X 10.5.8 installed and some applications. And it has the max RAM at 1.5GB. Plus it would need a new battery since both batteries from Apple failed early on with low use cycles. I do like the idea of wear-leveling technologies in their Mercury Legacy drives. And some of the external enclosures look durable enough.
    Hopefully they can answer some questions.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • (2011 13" Macbook Pro Model 8,1) I want to replace my 320GB HDD and replace it with a 6gb/s 120GB SSD. I also want to replace the optical drive with a 7200RPM HDD 750GB.

    I want to use:
    The SSD and enclosure to replace the optical drive with the new HDD
    So basically, I want to use the SSD in the link above. I want to set this up as either preferrably a fusion drive. If not the smoothest most stable configuration. I have a Macbook Pro Early 2011 13" with 8 GB of ram, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 320GB HDD.
    I want to install the SSD directly to the SATA port where the 320 GB HDD is currently. I then want to install the new HDD, preferrably a name brand 750 GB 7200RPM hard drive where the optical drive is now. I want the storage to work in a way in which the OS, and my most used programs and files get stored on the SSD, and everything else gets stored on the larger hard drive. My most preferred method would be Fusion drive, or a SPAN drive.
    I would like to use a Seagate Momentus XT, but I learned that there might be issues with compatability with this. I dont mind using the 3 gb/s 500GB option, but would like to know if it would even be smart to do it. I also have no problem settling for a regular 7200 RPM hard drive.
    I have read a bunch of stuff online but I still am not sure if this is even possible. I want my machine to run as fluid as possible so any info would be appreciated.

    You will need to boot from some alternate boot device to accomplish this, if you did not initialize the drive before installing it.
    If you have another Mac, you may be able to use FireWire target disk mode.
    If your MacBook has a DVD reader and you have a Mac OS X Installer/Utilities DVD, such as the one that shipped with it, you can boot from that DVD, answer only the "what Language" question, and wait a quarter minute for the MenuBar to be drawn. Then examine the Utilities menu or the Installer menu and Find Disk Utility.

    Hi:
    Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01713747.pdf
    Replacement optical drives with HP part numbers can be found in Chapter 3, page 33.
    You can also read the instructions in chapter 4 on removing the drive and getting the part number off of it which will be normally found on a white sticker.  A 6 digit-3 digit part number (123456-001)
    You can search by the part number on eBay for a used but working device or you can probably buy one new from HP by entering the part number at the link below.

  • How much would it cost to replace the optical drive

    I have a 48 month old mac pro. I use the optical drive quite a bit for listening or downloading music from my cd's. There is now a loud mechanical noise coming from it , and it is now very choosy about what cd's it wants to play. It is also getting very difficult to eject without having to restart it several times as well as pressing subsequent buttons.
            I have read several discussions on these pages and have gone through several elimmination processes . Including cleaning discs.
              Now i fear that there is no option but to replace the optical drive.
           How much am  looking at spending and although its not a perfect remedy , is it cheaper to buy an external drive as much as that would pain me.
    Thank you.
    Ray.

    Optical drives for 2008-2012 Mac pro desktops use the standard SATA connectors.That drive
    http://www.lg.com/us/products/documents/GGC-H20LSpec.PDF
    has those connections. Thus is should be directly replaceable with your original drive.

  • How do I remove the display glass on an imac7.1 to replace the optical drive?

    I have a 2007 iMac 24inch which has a bad optical drive.  How do I remove the display glass to get to the optical drive?

    Replacing anything in the newer designed iMacs is not a job for someone inexperienced or a novice.
    If you don't like the idea of having to use an extrernal optical drive, It might be best to take your iMac to an Apple store or authorized Apple repair center for repair/replacement.
    If you damage anything else while trying to do this replacement yourself, it will cost you even more cash to repair at a repair center later.

  • IMac's optical drive fan is loud after replacing the optical drive with an SSD?

    Today I removed the optical drive from my late 2009 iMac and installed an SSD in its place. Everything works perfectly, except for one thing...my optical drive fan goes crazy when I turn the iMac on. It goes to full blast and it sounds like my computer will blast off into space at any time. I'm aware that this is a common issue when replacing/upgrading hard drives, and so I did some research and found an app called SSD Fan Control that fixed the problem for the most part.
    In a nutshell, the fan runs at normal speed and is quiet when I'm logged in and actually using the computer, thanks to SSD Fan Control. However, when I turn the iMac on and it's at the white boot-up screen with the Apple logo, the fan goes up to full blast. Once the computer logs in, the fan quiets down because SSD Fan Control is set to launch at login.
    I was wondering if there's a way to make it so that the fan is quiet at the boot screen too...it's quite annoying turning my iMac on and hearing that obnoxiously loud whirring sound as it's booting up. Is it possible, or can it just be controlled while I'm actually logged in?

    An iPad is a great device, but it's no computer replacement. It lacks the file sharing/structure that comptuers have and the ability to easily get files onto/off it without the internet.
    That said, if you still have your desktop and use it for most of the computing work and basically just want a photo viewer, check your e-mail device, then it may work for you.
    The networked harddrive will be the hard part. Since the iPad lacks a file manager anything you use on it must have an app so that you can access it. And that app also must be allowed to 'send' your files to another app. So that may be what you really need to research. The ability and ease of using a network drive to do the file sharing you want.

  • W540 replacing the cd drive for a second hard drive?

    Hi,
    I ordered the thinkpad w540 last week. With a regular disc hard dirve and a CD compartment. I figured out after the coputer arrivied that i had a solidsate inside my hp xps 15. 
    In the best case scenario i would like to replace the CD drive, as the optional config from the online web page said it could be done. How could i figure out if it be possible to replace the CD drive with another Hard Drive? 
    If not i would be looking at replacing the original disc hard drive for the solid state, but in that case i would loose the windows 8 system. Is is possible to install it again in the new hard drive, with the same license? 
    I was just wondering because it would be nice mantain the drive inside the computer instead of having to plug it in all the time, and because of the faster speed it would be good to use is as the primary dirver. 
    Thanks in advance, 
    -Jorge

    Hi Jorge
    you will need a "caddy" adapter to house the second HDD/SDD. Just surch here in forum, see http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/​message?location=forum-board%3AW_ThinkPads&q=caddy​... .
    For my W540 I am using the caddy from http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=​product_info&products_id=555 and have very good experience over years (W510, W520, W540...).
    Regarding replacing original HDD with SSD, there are basically two possibilites - either you use the recovery option (create your own media - see google or try to get one from Lenovo - not sure it will work) or use some transfer software. I am using since years the Acronis products, especially because it recognizes the SSD and aligns everything as it should be on SSD (do not want to go now too deep into sector alignment and so far).
    And if you want to run your W540 on steroids, aka max possilbe storage capacity, see my signature...
