Got a new internal HD, wrong plugs to connect??

I ordered a new SATA HD for the my G4, got the baby all screwed into the bay, went to plug it in and %&%#. Wrong kind of conection plug. The power plug was still the same but the long connector was all wrong. What kind of HD should I be looking for or connection do I need? Did I go wrong getting a SATA?

Hi
Support for SATA/Serial ATA drives was introduced with the Power Mac G5. The G4s use the older IDE/ATA/PATA/Parallel ATA drives.
You could buy a PCI SATA card for around $60 which would allow you to use SATA drives.

I got a new router and i need to connect my printer now but do not have the cd for my printer?

1. HP Deskjet 3050A All-in-One Printer J611g
2. Windows 7
3. no wireless connection
4. got a new router
5. I got a new router, therefore, a new SSID. I no longer have the printer CD to change the printer SSID and do not know how to do it without the CD

Hi BethWells, for a start go to the link below
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5061...
Then download the full feature software. I'm not familiar with this printer model, but normally HP full feature software is the same as the CD.
Though I work for HP, I'm speaking for myself and not HP. I'm just trying to help with my limited knowledge

Just got a new ipad2 , the usb cable to connect wont fit into the charger port` it looks a bit smaller than the ipad1?

just got a new ipad2, the charger cable ( the same cable as ipad1 ) doesnt seem to fit ? i have loads of apple products and the charger is the same on them all ,so whats different? the charge port under the home button looks slightly differant?

I got the same issue with my iPad 2, when I got it on opening day. For some reason, it just didn't accommodate any of my other cords (ipod touch, ipod nano, etc.). Now, though, every one of my cables except for the ipod nano one can fit in it. I think that the iPad needs time to "stretch out" its parts to fit the other cables.

I had an IPhone 4, I just got a new IPhone5, when I plugged it in I selected New Device instead of returning user, how can I correct this

I Backed up my fiancé's IPhone 4, forgot to sign out. I then plugged my IPhone 5, should have selected returning user under my name, but instead I selected new device and started backing up under my fiancé 's name, can some one instruct me how to plug my IPhone 5 & select it under my name

Restore the device from the backup created.
If no backup exists, there is nothing to recover.

Just got a new IPOD Touch and it wont connect to our Wifi home network with a Belken N Router. Our router uses WEP 64 bit security, but had a "blank" password field, which the IPOD did not like. Changing to a 6 char numeric PW didnt help either.

OS is whatever OS ships with current IPOD Touch
I cannot understand why the APPLE engineers have designed this product so that it has SO MANY WIFI problems. This is supposed to be an easy-to-use product. We've had no problems connecting our new laptop, our ROKU box, etc, but it seems impossible to get the IPOD touch to work. NOTHING LIKE SPENDING XMAS MORNING DOING APPLE TECH SUPPORT TROUBLESHOOTING TO LEAVE YOU IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!!! Argh!
In fact, the only way we have been able to get this expensive brand new IPOD to work on our home network is to DISABLE SECURITY in the router settings. THIS IS ANYTHING BUT A GOOD IDEA.
DON"T KNOW WHY BUT MANY OTHER USERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME KIND OF PROBLEM SO APPLE ENGINEERING NEEDS TO GET BUSY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM SO THAT NEW USERS CAN CONNECT TO THE INTERNET WITHOUT HAVING TO BE TRAINED ROUTER ENGINEERS TO DO IT!!!!
Ok, sorry for the rant, but surely those of you who are experiencing this share my frustration. This is not why I bought an APPLE product.
IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY THAT APPLE WILL NOT ALLOW A WIFI PASSWORD with more than one identical alphanumeric character? Any ideas? We also tried eliminating the 40 MHZ setting under Bandwidth settings in the router settings for our router, but it made no difference. The router has the latest firmware, too. Running out of ideas, and am ready to box this unit up and send it back!

Thanks, Bob! You are correct. And, we learned this as we spoke with APPLE TECH SUPPORT by phone on Christmas day (800-APL-CARE). One of their reps spent the time to help us troubleshoot this, but the boiled down conclusion is your answer, and to repeat for the benefit of others, here is what worked:
1. With our Belkin router set to "out-of-the-box" WEP 64 bit security, we could not get wireless access of any kind. Only with the Security Mode set to DISABLED, could we gain access.
2. Changing the router's security mode setting to "WPA/WPA-2...." and entering a new min. 8 char passphrase, and then entering that same passphrase into the IPOD Touch, and restarting the router, did the trick!
Based on this, and some info found in another posting, I can only conclude that the IPODs and IPHONES do not support WEP security mode in many generic routers used by thousands of consumers. Hopefully, those same consumers can figure out how to change their wireless router setttings to WPA/WPA-2 security mode and ALSO get all their other wireless devices (PCs, laptops, WII boxes, ROKU boxes) all reconfigured to WPA mode, too.
I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT APPLE NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH WEP COMPATIBILITY and it may also be the case that MOST CONSUMERS ARE USING WEP 64 BIT security on their home wireless routers?
In any case, it's working now, so anyone who is having problems should try changing to WPA mode and post back here if it worked for them!

I just got a new mac mini. Can I connect 2 monitors via dvi?

I'm using the thunderbolt port to connect an external hard drive.
I have two samsung monitors that have a dvi port and a vga port. i'd like to connect it to my mac mini, is this an option to connect with the hdmi to dvi adapter and a dvi to dual dvi splitter?
Or if you have another recommendation, please feel free to reply.
Just to be clear, I'm looking to use two monitors so i have more real estate to work with. I'm not looking for the same thing on one monitor to also be on the other.
Thanks ahead,
Line

Hello, if a splitter would work at all, it would only Mirror the same on both.
A few TB devices have a pass through that MAY work to run another Monitor... or not.

I got a new time capsule and can only connect 1 device at a time?

please help

You have the TC in bridge mode..
ie on the network tab it says.. off (bridge mode)..
Change this to dhcp + NAT mode..
Be aware you might then have more issues.. depending on the setup.. particularly if you have a cable modem you will need to power down the modem for 30min. maybe less.. maybe more.
More network info helps if that simple bit didn't work.. we cannot work with nothing.. Creation ex nihilo is only for divinity.. for ordinary humans we need something to start from.

Best way to transfer data to new internal hard drive

Hi,
I just got a new internal hard drive for my macbook and I'm trying to figure out the best way to transfer all the data from my old hd to the new one. Basically, I would just like to make an exact copy of my old hd and put it on the new larger one. Thanks for the help.

Will I simply be able to do a firewire transfer on the new internal HD is installed
Yes. Use Carbon Copy Cloner with the sopurce and destination volumes reversed after installing the new drive.
Additionally do I need a bootable copy of OSX on my external HD to do the transfer?
Yes; the clone can act as this copy. If you copy everything with Carbon Copy Cloner, you will be told whether the drive will be bootable or not prior to the clone.

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes has no affect on the media on the computer or the account it is linked to.
If the media was purchased under another iTunes account, then it is permanently tied to that account.

Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

My 4th gen iPod touch will not power on, will not charge anywhere, and is not recognized as plugged in by iTunes. This is irritating, as a friend had given it to me in perfect working condition because she got a new 5th gen iPod Touch.

I just got this 4th-gen Touch from a friend because she got a new 5th-gen. when she gave it to me, the 4th-gen was in perfect working order, and I haven't used it since she gave it to me. I had put it in sleep mode and put it on my dresser, wher it has sat without being messed with for two weeks. Now, all of a sudden, it won't power on, it won't charge no matter WHERE i plug it in to charge, and not even a hard reboot has worked. My computer will not even recognize that it is even plugged in. There is no red low battery symbol displayed, nothing to make it seem as if it is charging, and, if it is charging, no response is evoked from it when I tap it, or push any buttons. The warranty on the thing has expired, and I really need to find out what is wrong with it and get it fixed. Can ANYBODY HELP ME????????? if somebody can point me in the right direction, or even help me get it physically fixed, i am willing to give MAJOR points, and it would be greatly appreciated.

Didn't you already post something similar:
Yesterday, I went and bought a refurbished 3rd-generation iPod touch, with a warranty for needed repairs in the future. When I went home after buying it, I plugged it into my computer to start charging. I plugged it in, and the battery in the iPod exploded, and now it won't power on period, even when it is plugged in or docked. I bought a warranty to go with the iPod because I figured that I was probably going to drop it, and then need it repaired. But Apple cannot even find the purchase record on file from where I bought the AppleCare warranty on it, so now I am stuck with what is now basically a paperweight. What should I do?
iPod touch, iOS 4
And would this be the same iPod with the fried battery?

I just got a new laptop, and just downloaded itunes.. can i plug my ipod into my new laptop without losing any of my songs?

I know this is probably a very common question, but I've heard too many different answers so I'd just like to make sure I know the correct one.
So I just got a new laptop yesterday because my other one fried.. I just downloaded itunes and was just about to plug in my ipod but then hesitated because I didn't know whether if I would lose all my songs or not. Will I lose my songs if I connect it to the new itunes? Thank You for your help!

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
