HDD died, need a new one - Satellite A35-S209

I have a a35 s209 satellite (2.80GHz, 2048MB of ram) and my HD just died and took with it 4 months of my life. there is nothing like listening to the wonderous billy Holyday one sec and the next listening to the grinding suicide of an HD full of work that I had only selectivelly backed up.
I am currently in Lisbon Portugal and I need to know ASAP (as in yesterday) where I can find a new HD for my satellite and have it and windows installed with a partition. It is saturday night right now and obviously, there is no place I can call but I need to have this taken care of as of tomorrow. PLEASE HELP!

Hi JP,
You can obtain a replacement hard drive from any Computer retailer/repairer. Just make sure you get one which matches the characteristics of your existing drive with regard to physical dimensions.
You can also obtain one from many internet retailers although you will then have to wait for delivery.
regards,

I can't get any of my applications to open. I can't connect to my Wi fi and my MacBook Pro says it's not charging. It is 4 yrs old and I've taken it in for repairs 3 times this year. Also was told my cd rom packed it in. Is it possible I need a new one?

Frustrated with my Mac book pro. It's 4 yrs old and I've taken it in 3 times this year for different issues. Just last week they said my Cd Rom has packed it in. As of this week, I can't connect to wifi or get any of my applications to respond. Also won't hold a charge :(. Is it possible I need a new one? I paid 2200.00 for thus one. Seems like it should last longer than that. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

You would do better to ask in the Mac Forum - this is the iPad forum.

My phone is completely broken, my plan isn't up yet.. but i need a new one?, my phone is completely broken, my plan isn't up yet.. but i need a new one?

could i buy a new phone from apple if i have a 5c. and it's broken.. i need a new one asap but i have a small pricing range.

your iPhone 5C is probably still under warranty if the problem is covered by the warranty. Otherwise, you can get an out of warranty replacement for your iPhone. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

I dropped my IPad and it now has spiderwebs in the glass. The IPad works but it's annoying. Is there any fix or do I have to replace it?

You don't need a new one just the glass replaced.
Good Luck!

No, Apple does not take trade ins. Your carrier may have different polices regarding trade ins. Best to contact them about it.
Alternatively you can use Apple's Recycling Program with one of their partners. They will give you an Apple Store Gift card with the value they determine the iPhone has. And you can use the Gift card in the purchase of a new iPhone.
You can go here to see how much your current iPhone 4s is worth in the recycling program.

HP Mini 110-3131DX. Hard drive replacement; do I need a new one and where would I get it?

I dropped my HP Mini 110-3131DX directly on it's spine and ever since it only turns on to show the startup screen and these error messages:
HARD DISK ERROR
Please run the hard disk test in system diagnostics.
Hard Disk 1 (3F1)
F2 System Diagnostics
Then, it takes a LONGGGG time to even get me to the right screen to do the test ( I have to restart the computer to be able to renavigate to the screen) and it says Hard Disk test failed. What do I do now? Do I have to put in a new hard drive? Where do I buy my specific new hard drive? I really need some help.
This question was solved.

Do you know where I could buy one? I've looked online but I can't find one specifically for my model.

Can't use my old HDD after upgrading with new one,old is GPT protected

Hi everyone! First of all I would like to thank you in advance!
Recently I upgraded my old HDD on my MacBookPro. I made a clone of the old disk, installed the new one in the MBP and putted the old one in external enclosure. Now I'm trying to use the old disk with the enclosure, but it doesn't appear in Finder, it appears in Disk Tools, but I can not perform any actions on it. I tried to erase it, but with no success! The old disk is GPT protected and I don't know what to do. Tried to erase it with Windows and Linux with no success neither. I know the enclosure works because it recognize every other disk, but my old one is untouchable to my Mac OS! I'm looking for possible ideas on how to make my old HDD usable with the enclosure?

Can't really help with your Internet issues, but I can put you on the path to leaning more about Macs.
If you're a former Windows user, there many resources on Apple's web site to get yourself familiar with how Macs and OS X work.
Here ard a few areas to spend time with
http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/
http://www.apple.com/support/imac/intel/
http://support.apple.com/videos/
http://www.apple.com/support/lion/
http://www.apple.com/support/osx/
For the video tutorials, in the video search box, just type in OS X. You'll get a list of OS X video tutorials to watch as you learn to use your iMac.
Start with the Anatomy of a Mac video first, Then the Finder Basics video second. After you have watched and put to use these two videos, you can watch any other OS X video you want in any order.
Here is a free eBook download of David Pogue's OS X Snow Leopard The Missing Manual here. While OS X 10.7 LIon and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion work a bit differently than OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, there are many things that still apply.

Playbook acting up / Need a new one ?

Hi,
Today my Playbook that I bought on the first day, is refusing to charge past 96%, it is on the base and there is no way to make it go past 96%, as soon as it get to 96% it just shows as disconnected from the power supply and some time it drains on its own or it simply stays at 96%
So my question is do I need to buy a new one before this one keeps acting up and dies on me
Thanks
Using the Playbook and the Z10 and the Z30 and loving them
Martin

I would hold off until OS 2.1 is released which might be tomorrow for all we know

Just connect the new one and follow the on screen instructions, it will find your existing software and update from iTunes.

Corrupt iPod...do I need a new one?

I just got the 8g nano and go to connect it but theres a pop up saying its corrupt and try to restore...so I try to restore it but the ipod wont stay connected long enough to finish...do I need a new iPod?

I am having the same problem with my Nano 4GB. The last thing I did was show my friend how awesome the video quality was and then we left and went about our day. I can home and was planning on listening to some tunes and it just got stuck. No sound...nothing! But I could still sort of use the menu and scroll. Now it's just stuck no backlight but you can see that it's in play mode with the battery looking to be charging but it's totally dead.
I tried to connect it to my itunes and itunes said that I had an unknown ipod...an unrecognizable ipod that's corrupt and I should restore to factory setting but after it tried it said I couldn't.
very bizarre. I ordered it online. I'm not sure if I should take it to an apple store or contact apple over the phone.
What a bummer. It's my first real ipod.

My charger broke and I need a new one. Where can I buy one?

You can get a new power adapter on eBay for about $20

HT3371 My Macbook Pro does,nt seem to have any life in the battery does it need a new one

My Macbook Pro does,nt seem to have any life in the battery does it need a new one

You can check the actual capcity by opening the "System Information" application in the folder "/Applications/Utilities".
Then you can select the information section "Hardware > Power" to see the information regarding the battery:
The important information is highlighted in the image above. The ratio of Charge Remaining (when fully charged) to Full Charge Capacity is a good metric of how "healthy" the battery is. The Number if cycles is another indicator. The higher the number of cycles the lower I would expect the ratio of Charge Remaining (when fully charged) to Full Charge Capacity.

Phone cracked need a new one

My screen got smashed and I am wondering how much I have to pay to get a new one (without paying the full amount). I have an Iphone4 (8gb)

Apple handles repair of iPhone 4 screen with Replacment iPhone 4. If you have AppleCare + plus, it will be $50, if not it will be $149. Make Genius reservation so you do not have long wait at the Apple Store.

Have latest version of Pages and am told I need a newer one!

All of a sudden I cannot open any Pages documents in the normal way. I get a message saying: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document" - but I am running the latest Pages '09 version 4.0.4! I have re-booted, and also trashed the com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist, to no avail.
What happens is this: I have re-booted and Pages is not open. I double click on a Pages document to open both Pages and the document but nothing happens, except that, weirdly, I get the Inspector on the desktop, although Pages is not open. I then open Pages manually. I double click on the icon of the document I want to open and get the message saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document". I go to File/Open and am able to open the document OK but when I close it and then try to re-open it again using the usual double-click method, I get the "need newer version" message again. Most frustrating. The only thing that has changed on my Mac recently is that I installed iLife '11 a couple of days ago, which surely shouldn't make any difference at all.

It seems that I was not sufficiently clear.
For some reason, the references to Pages'09 and Pages'08 where swapped in the database used by the operating system to choose the app asked to open a double-clicked document.
So, when you double click with no Pages application open, the system trigger Pages'08.
I repeat that if you open Pages '09 once and don't open Pages '08, it's Pages '09 which will be used to open double clicked documents.
Moving iWork '08 components into a disk image is really easy.
From Disk Utility, create a new disk image named iWork '08 whose size is set to 800 Mbytes.
Open this disk image, drag and drop Keynote '08, Numbers '08, Pages '08 in this disk image
Double click each moved application to check that it behave correctly.
If all is OK, trash the original files
or pack them as zip archive before trashing them
or burn a CD with these three apps before trashing them.
