Dv9341eu RAM upgrade/hard drive possible?

Hi everyone first post so please bear with me! OK got a dv9341eu, with 2GB of RAM, 2 x 120GB Fujitsu 5400rom drives running Vista. Ideally would like to max out RAM and according to Crucial cannot go more than 2 GB? Also would upgrading to 7200rpm drives make a difference? Or any other suggestions to make the system super duper!!!! Thanks in advance.

2 gigs is the max I am sorry to report. Yes you can replace the 5400 rpm main drive with a 7200 rpm and it will provide some improvement in performance. No need to upgrade the secondary storage drive unless you just want more space. Keep in mind that series of laptops with AMD CPU and nVidia graphics has been prone to lots of problems before you invest any more money in it.

Upgrade hard drive (possible?)

I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade the hard drive on my tx2120-us HP Pavilion Entertainment notebook from the one that came with it (250GB) to a 7200rpm 500GB drive. I have also a touchsmart tx2z 1300 CTO which has a 500GB hard drive and the tx2 and tx models have the same chassis, just different keyboard colors and LED light colors (volume, HD activity light, power, wireless, etc). Perhaps it is not possible because the internal construction might be different? I just don't know and am hoping someone can answer.
Sincerely,
markerline

According to this manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02985882.pdf
Your system & hardware supports upto 320GB only.

Is it possible to upgrade the ram and hard drive on the new retina after purchase ?

hi i was wondering if it was possible to upgrade my macbook pro retina display to a bigger ram and hard drive or will i be stuck with 8 gb of ram and 256 gb hard drive?

Sorry to say, you're stuck with it.
If however, you just got your Retina, you have a 14 Day return/exchange in case you want something with more memory and a larger flash drive.
Here's a suggestion - you'll be fine with 8GB since most people are still running on 4GB of RAM. Why not just buy an external drive and save your files there so you don't fill up your flash drive in your Retina.
Again, just a suggestion.

Hi Chefjeegar
Yes that screwdriver kit has the #00 phillips screwdriver that you need to access the RAM and hard drive. You'll also need the Torx driver to change the hard drive. http://www.amazon.co.uk/LINDY-Computer-Technician-Precision-Torx/dp/B0000934GO/r ef=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1348072554&sr=1-1
For a good explanation about RAM look at the page on OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/
In the UK Amazon or eBay might be your best bet for cheap RAM but read the description and reviews carefully. For a little more expensive but with a better warranty is Crucial UK http://www.crucial.com/uk/
A good resource for working on your MacBook is ifixit.com http://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Core_2_Duo
Is your external hard drive formatted for Mac? To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Put the new drive in your MacBook, then format and partition the new drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer your OS back to the new drive.
Yes, you can put an SSD in the MacBook.

Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?

"Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?"
I am looking for the cheapest way possible to run Logic Pro 9 and will purchase a second hand mac mini if it will run the software.
Thank you!

Yes it will.. I would recommend you use the combination of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and LPv9.1.5 (or 9.1.8 if you have to..) with that particular hardware to get the best performance out of it... I would not recommend running any OS X version higher than 10.6.8 as each new version of OS X from then onwards.. placed a bigger performance hit on the hardware... and frankly, less stability with LP9.
As to how well it will run on that hardware.. will more depend on the sort of loads you place on it.. depending on the type and content of the music you wish to compose... It will run and you should be able to create reasonable sized projects.. but again, it all depends on the plugins used.. the number of them... the number of tracks and so on... so to give a more precise answer is difficult.

I have a 2008 Mac Book Pro partitioned running windows and are running out of drive space. Can I upgrade hard drive for more capacity?

I have a 2008 Mac Book Pro partitioned running windows and are running out of drive space. Can I upgrade hard drive for more capacity? I purchased a faster drive initially, but has 200 GB capacity. I am running out of room and would like to upgrade for more space if possible.
Can anyone suggest an alternative?

You don't need to partition your drive to run Fusion, only if you want to run Bootcamp.
If you have space on your Windows partition, I would suggest you backup your Windows partition, and then, delete the partition using Disk Utility.
You can now restore your virtual machine to a single volume or repartition if you prefer.
I would consider upgrading to a unibody MBP (used, refurbished will do) just to be able to access the HD. Opening the pre-unibody MBP is not something you would want to do.

New RAM and hard drive won't connect to computer. It's still making the beeping noise. Any ideas?

My computer stopped working and I thought it was my RAM and hard drive so I bought a new one of each of these. However, when I tried turning my computer back on after replacing them, it still made the beeping noise. I am clueless. Does anyone know what could be the cause and how to fix it. Thanks!!

What type of beeping noise?
What machine specs? What type of RAM and HDD?

Upgrading hard drive... need help on how to prepare current CS6 for reinstall on new hard drive

I'm about to upgrade my hard drive to a larger one and will need to reinstall my CS6 Web/Design Suite... I've seen many people having issues with activation and licensing after they reformat their computers or buy a new one and try to install the programs on the new "system". How should I go about preparing my Adobe software on the current hard drive so I won't have any issues resintalling on the new hard drive? I will be installing CS6 Student/Teacher version on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit...
Thanks for the help!

Thanks!
I wondered if that was all I needed, but when I built my new system and installed PS CS4 I kept getting errors. So, I went back to the old system and deactivated it and still got errors. Uninstalled it deactivated and still got errors on the new system. When I talked to Adobe they just kept telling me the key was invalid (even though I had been running that same program and key for the last 4 years without problems lol) and it was not a burnt copy or pirated. I had the orginal box with the original DVD case and serial number on the case... A friend of mine had upgraded their rig and went to a Suite so he gave me his CS4. But, needless to say (as it is said all over these forums apparently) Adobe was of no help at all so I had to buy a new version. I'm not looking to go through all of that BS again, haha.
So as long as I deactivate the Suite (or do I need to deactivate each program separately?) I should be able to reformat (or upgrade hard drives) and reinstall CS6 as many times as I want? (I usually do a reformat like once a year to keep my computers clean and free of junk that may have been downloaded by other household members...)

Illustrator Cs5 will not open. Recently upgraded hard Drive and upgraded to Maverick OS 10.9.3. Where should I start troubleshooting?

gj,
Unless it has worked since the upgrading, I believe you should uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

When I try to download OS 10.5.6 from 10.4.11 I get 'software cannot be installed, I havemore than 1GB RAM, enough Hard Drive and a intel core processor. The OS 10.5.6 software is from my newer Mac ibook, any suggestions?

Hi Tommy,
Using install discs created for another computer is the problem. I suggest you get a stand alone install disc for Leopard and give that a try. I know it's a bummer since you have a perfectly good install disc but you can't take an install disc from a new computer and use it to update an older computer. As a matter of fact you would have problems using your install disc on the same type of computer if it didn't have the same build number. In the old days of Power Macs that wasn't an issue. You could take an install disc for one computer and update every Mac you owned. Sorry.

What is the best upgrade hard drive for a A1342?

What is the best upgrade hard drive for an A1342 (white macbook)?

Absolutely. I put a Samsung 840 in my early 2009 white macbook and it is the best computer upgrade I've ever done. I've also put an OWC SSD in my late 2009 iMac and highly recommend their drives. http://eshop.macsales.com

Upgrading Hard drive & RAM

Hi,
I own a HP dv7-3085dx (product no : VM188UA#ABA) and I need to upgrade my hard drive to a SSD & upgrade my RAM. currenlty I'm having 500GB hdd & 6144MB DDR3 ram.
1. Please let me know whether Serial ATA III SSD (Samsung - 840 EVO 250GB Internal Serial ATA III Solid State Drive) is compatible with my mother board. And is it possible to use this SSD(primary) together with my old HDD(secondary).
2. Do i need to buy any extra cables for this upgrade?
3. What is the transfer rate of my RAM? so i could buy a compatible RAM.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Your specific motherboard has the Intel 5 series chipset which only is capable of SATA-II. However, the SATA-III Samsung 840 Evo will work just fine and you will still see amazing speeds. You have picked a good SSD (the same one I am using so I am a bit prejudiced).
As for the memory, here is the crucial.com page on your model showing it will take up to 8 gb (2 x 4 gb) of DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM.

And yes, you can use 2 hard drives in any dv7. You will need a second drive caddy and cable available here:

Macbook Pro mid 2012 2.9GHz i7 RAM and Hard drive upgrade

Hi, I was thinking about getting a new Macbook Pro but thought it would be cheaper to just upgrade it myself.
1) I wanted to remove the optical drive as I rarely use it. Then add a second hard drive in there to give myself more memory.
2) Remove the current 2x4GB RAM slots, and replace them with 2x8GB RAM slots to max it out to 16GB so I can run 64 bit versions of Audio production software.
If I do this, will it void my Apple Care Warranty?

Yes. Adding ram is permitted as a user upgrade. But removing the optical drive and adding a second hard drive is not a user permitted upgrade.
