Can I install my used existing hard drive in a compatible macbook to save everything?
If you need to extract the drive's content you can remove it and install it in a $10 USB enclosure. It will be readable by any recent Mac.

my late 2011 MacBook pro stopped powering up. Service people are saying motherboard needs to be replaced. The worst part is motherboard cost is 2/3 of the laptop cost. Could anyone help me to understand the issue please?
The issue is simple. Your Mac computer has failed because of a faulty Logic, Mother, board. Happens all the time with many make and model notebooks
Yes Apple Mac computers, even though more expensive than most any other brand, have these problems just like all the rest.
Only thing you can do is either pay to have the logic board changed or buy a new computer. -
I have a 2007 Mac Book Pro and a Genius told me that it is "vintage" and that the "logic board" is bad and no longer supported. He removed the hard drive and told me to buy a "sled" to retreive the data. Is it worth trying to fix it so that I don't have to buy a new one? Where should I take it? Thanks.
djgornik,
if the Genius is correct and the logic board is bad, then replacing the logic board would be fairly expensive. What problems are you seeing with your MacBook Pro that caused you to visit the Genius in the first place? Whether it’s worth trying to fix it or not depends on your particular circumstances, such as your willingness to trade time for money in pursuing repair vs. replacement. -

Posting the same question will not change the facts

You can exchange your iPhone 4 for an out of warranty exchange unit which will be exactly like the iPhone 4 you already have cost $149
That is it , no alternatives .END OF
You can decide to use the $149 dollars instead towards a new iPhone5S .That is a completely different transaction and is not linked in any way to the iPhone 4 exchange
You may also be able to trade in your faulty iPhone 4 in the purchase process again NO LINK to the exchange process discuss with Apple Store -
Many Apps nwhen it comes time to print from my Ipad2 search foor an airprint printer but i only have an HP wireless printer and they don't find it what can I do to use the HP wireless printer in these apps????
Hello Jfadair9,
Thanks for the post. I'm not sure which model printer that you have but you should be able to print from your iPad 2 with the HP Home and Biz application. This is for wireless printers that are NOT web enabled. I've included a link below with some great information on how to get this resolved. Good Luck!

I recently had to replace my 2009 Macbook Pro's hard drive. I had the apple store upgrade the OS to Mountain Lion while it was in being repaired. I want to restore all of my old data and files. If I perform a restore from Time Machine, with a date prior to having the hard drive replaced, will it revert back to the old OS?
No, it won't revert to the prior OS X but you you may have third party apps installed that were compatible with Lion that may not be compatible with Mountain Lion.

After you restore from TM, check HD > Incompatible Software -
I have a Macbook 2006 with 10.6 snow leopard installed. I was wondering if i could get EA's origin download and sims 3 the game? The laptop has an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.
Unfortunately no, I have e exact same problem. Our ancient laptops are to the full extent of upgrading available for its time..., I'm trying to find an older version of origin to download to my Mac at the moment... Take my email if you want and if I come across anything ill send you the link. The only other thing I can think of is to upgrade the entire Mac software to the newest version but that includes wiping out the entire system and hard drive and locating the software disc to do that and I'm not even sure if it will process all of that information since apple conciders our laptops "vintage" there's no way to go back because they don't support the software for these older ones anymore.
Sorry.

I have an old iMac for 2002....it's the rounded type that has an attached monitor. The software is way outdated (OS X 10) and I only really use now to access 3,000 plus songs and old video of the family. Both the keyboard and mouse no longer work. Am I able to use any keyboard/mouse and plug in using USB? Thanks for any help!
Most any USB mouse or keyboard should work. Borrow one if you can and just plug it in.
If the USB circuits are at fault then you can access via Firewire Target Mode with another Mac in order to get at the files.

Another alternative would be to remove the hard drive and use a USB adapter to access it as an external drive.

Have Photoshop Elements from 2001. Got new computer with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. It won't run on my new computer. What version is MOST SIMILAR to the old version I have, that will run on W7P-64? Thanks for any help. Popjer
You should probably just download the trial version of pse 12 and see if you can live with it.
Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
That being said, have you tried to install pse 1 on your computer?
How much free space is on your hard drive?
Do you have Internet Explorer 10 or 11?
Pse 1 can run on windows 7 x64, provided certain conditions are met. -
Have mac mini with thunderbolt monitor 1yr old, recently updated with new 10.0.2 from apple, now iMovie doesn't seem to support my Sony HDR-XR500 camera. Is there any help on this?
haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

i got a macbook pro 2008 and can not back up using time machine. it eject my external hard drive everytime. does anybody has a fix???
Does your external hard drive have it's own power supply? It should.
Is your external hard drive formatted with the NTFS file system? It won't work.
It needs to be formatted either with Mac OS Extended or FAT32.
(There are drivers available to add NTFS support to OS X but their quality is unknown, especially the "free" ones.) -
I need to upgrade my MacBook 13" white 2008 hard drive. I have found a WD6400BPVT western digital Scorpio blue 640GB (5400rpm) SATA 8MB 2.5" will this fit and work? Many thanks for any help
I had a 640GB HDD in my Early 2008 Macbook and it was just too much it would always freeze up the computer a bit for only a few seconds but ya. Then I realized that it was the size of the HDD that was causing it since the Early 2008 Macbook models can only handle a MAX od 500GB while the Early 2008 Macbook Pros could have a MAX of 640GB (Lucked out there!) lol But ya the Early 2008 Mocbooks can only handle a MAX HDD size of 500GB and that's it!! lol
