Help understanding what I have in my New GT70 and what can I do with it.
In the last few days I received my new gt70 from amazon. I must say I love it. Absolutely. I plan on building a supercomputer one day, but this laptop more than sufficed my immediate needs and I can save some money for a year or so. Anyways, I bought the second most expensive one right under the dragon edition bc quite frankly im not a huge lover of the color red or dragons.. (I did when I was much younger) However i went with the second most expensive bc its all black and seems to have enough on it to keep me happy.
Problem is that I really like the SSD's mine came with the 2 in raid 0 for a total of 256gb. Then I have this 1tb HDD. Now for the related questions. Can I replace the HDD with a huge SSD? That would kick ass. Also, could I or is there another slot for a 3rd SSD? What do the 2 128's look like? I want to do this without needing to remove the existing SSD's bc Im not that savvy on how to do it all. Maybe I can bring it somewhere. Im in the New Orleans area. As a side note/question. Of my 256gb a ton of space was used when I got the thing, (before adding anything) I understand startup programs and all.. and the SSD's are C: drive.. the 1TB D; HDD is missing 100gb and when u open the drive there are absolutely ZERO file folders in there.. Is everything really on my SSD's ? Whats preloaded on my HDD to take away 100gb and wheres the files?
Bottom Line I want more SSD. Money isnt a big deal.
Second set of questions. Ram. I have 24gb (sure more than enough) but if I wanted to, how would I get mine up to 32gb.. Replace everything or add to some existing empty slots?
Im pretty much cool with everything else. I have the 780m (i think is the best available at the moment) and the best cpu from MSI.. So yea, PLEASE HELP!!!
Ok I looked on the box and it does say GT70 20E.. so im good on that. And the sticker does say ram (8gbX3) so adding another stick will be childs play. (even for someone like me).. Ill just replace the HDD with the SSD asap and I guess I shouldn't worry about messing up or missing files bc you said missing 100gb with no files in there is normal.. So I just pop the old one out and put the new one in. Should be that easy. (maybe install some drivers) Ill do more research so I dont mess things up. Or get one of my super tech friends to come assist/teach me.
I also want to change out the thermal paste.
MAJOR QUESTION!!!>.... I cannot understand why this is happening to me, but I play games on steam. I tried downloading a game overnight last night and when I came down my computer was off. I rebooted it up and took a shower came back down and it was off again.. All the settings in the power management are set to NEVER shutdown or sleep. Im not running hot, as I had my fan on, AC on 60, Fan in the room on, and a fan pad thing under it on. I didnt downgrade to windows 7 yet, and my not, and this is a legal copy of course.. Unless im running a benchmark or playing a serious game i idle, surf the web, and download, around 30-40 Degrees Celsius. It still shuts down though. Ill let it run again and see it the problem persists and let you know.

Help I think I have Macvx on my computer and I can't get rid of it.
Help,
I think I have Macvx on my iMac late 2012 21.5 running the latest OS.
I am getting heaps of ads in my web browser.
I have seen similar question from other people and responses explaining to find and search for it in your applications menu but I can't find anything that relates to it or that was installed recently.
I have even looking in the library and through spotlight search searching the specific words Macvx and Vidx.
Please help,
Thank you very much.Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and The Safe Mac » AdMedic.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
OS X Mavericks- Protect your Mac from malware
About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware. -
I have a brand new Mac and it did not come with iDVD. What gives?
Is iDVD supposed to come on new equipment? It's not on the app store and iMovie tells me I need it in order to burn a DVD.
If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (or iLife 09) (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

I recently updated my Firefox browser to version 26.0 and my Java to version 7 update 51 and now I can't access any of the Yahoo games I have played for years. I get a box that says "your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running. Also, the box has two other lines; Name: ygames_applet and Location: http://yog10.games.sp2.yahoo.com. After all this time, this browser and my Chrome browser both give me this crap when I try to log in to yahoo games.

I decided to change my apple id on my iphone 5 to have a seperate account from the other people in my family. I changed all of the settings to the new id and I can't sync new apps or music to my phone and apps on my phone will not sync to my computer. Please help!!!
If you didn't already do so, authorize your computer for the new ID by opening iTunes and going to Store>Authorize This Computer. Then sync your phone with iTunes.

I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized.
I have searched high and low and there does not seem to be a way to authorize the iPod Classic. What can I do to sync my purchases to my iPod? I have tried reformatting/restoring it as suggested. It continues to only allow me to sync non-icloud/itunes content.
Help!What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Burned iMovie .mov to DVD and it caused movie to skip/have weird transitions between scenes and sound to not match with picture. What can I do to help fix this when reburning?
Movie details
QuickTime Movie
Size: 17.95 GB
Duration 17:39
2 audio channels
Codecs- Linear PCM, Apple ProRes 422, Timecode
Thanks!!You can't use iMovie to create a video DVD - for that you need iDVD:
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see. -
I have just bought new ipad and have icloud but my photos haven't transferred across to my iphone 4, not even one I took yesterday on the ipad. What am I doing wrong?
What do you mean by copy? I thought the i cloud did that automatically for you. That's what I don't understand.

I have a new computer and I can't access my Itunes account. The message says I can't have more than 5 computers on this account and I don't. What can I do?
First of all you should really post this in Itunes forums cause you might get more hits on it.. Anyway.. You can only authorize up to 5 comps on one itunes account.. This does not include iOS devices. Those you can have 10.
So to fix this issue, open itunes, hit store on the left side, click log in (or your e-mail address if you are already logged in) in the top right hard corner of the page. One you log into your account you will see a a little area where it says you authorized 5 out of 5 comps. Below it should be a button to clear all those out. Itunes will de-authorize all computers on the account then you need to go back Store tab in the menu bar and select authorize this computer.
Remember it will deauthorize all your computers, so you need to re-authorize any other computers you have. -
hi there, I need help .. I have 2 gen ipod touch and I restore my ipod around 11:00 pm and now its 1:20 am and on my screen its the iTunes logo and the usb cord and when I plug my charger in my laptop .. iTunes comes up and this what it saids "iTunes has detected an ipod recovery mode. you must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes" so what do I do.. do I let my ipod died right out & then try it .. because I restore it ,... it was beening to slow... so please help me ?
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have just brought a new ipod and it won't work with my old imac as it is running pre 10.5 software. I can't upgrade the software, so what should I do?
There is nothing to do, unless you buy a new computer.
