How many HDD space can a Macbook support. (E.G. 1TB?)

I am gg to upgrade my HDD myself but i do not know can my macbook support if i install a 1TB hdd. Can anyone help?

It depends on which MacBook you have. The unibody MacBooks (Aluminum or late '09+ White) can handle a 1TB drive. If it's the White or Black pre-late '09 (non-unibody), then the largest right now is 750GB.

How many operating systems can a MacBook support?

I wanted to know if a MacBook can support more than 2 operating systems as I wished to have a Windows OS for some applications in addition to OSX and Linux in which I have to primarily work.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can install as many operating systems as you want, but if you install Windows, you can't install another operating system because Boot Camp needs two volumes on the hard drive.
I recommend you to install Linux in a virtual machine instead of on a partition if you want to use Windows

How many Voice connections can cisco 2821 support?

Good day.
I have a cisco 2821 with EVM slot, NME-X slot and two HWIC slots. I have 4 port FXOs on the two HWIC slots. The EM-HDA-8FXS module on the EVM slot can handle 8 FXS connections. Please i would like to know if there is an EVM module that can do FXO connections and also how many voice connections can this router handle in total. Can the EM-HDA-8FXS module handle both FXS and FXO connections?
Hope someone can help me out. My deadline has already passed.

How many hdd's can I install in Quicksilver

Have the SIIG Serial ATA 4 Channel PCI-M card running one 250GB HDD at the present with 1 running off the original system bus. How many can I add total to this system? Owners manual states I can run only 2 total in this machine. Is it true that now I can add a large HDD to the original bay without using the SIIG card and whole capacity will be recognized?
G4 Quicksilver 733 896mb ram Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi
You should be able to install four hard drives fairly easily.
You can physically fit four into the case, one in the front bay, one in the middle bay and two in the rear bay (one on top of the other in the U shaped bracket).
Assuming you don't have a Zip drive installed, you have the Molex power connectors for four drives, although you may need an extension cable so the power connector that's intended for the Zip drive will reach one of the hard drives. If you do have a Zip drive installed, you'd need a splitter cable to power two drives off one cable.
You have the data connectors for at least four drives. Two ATA drives can be connected to the onboard ATA controller and four SATA drives can be connected to the SATA PCI card (assuming it's a four port version).
The capacity limitation still applies to drives connected to the onboard ATA controller via the ribbon cable. Large drives can be added to any bays, but they must be connected to the PCI card for the full capacity to be recognised.
The manual probably says two ATA drives can be installed (using the onboard ATA controller) or three SCSI drives can be installed (using the supplied SCSI PCI card if relevant). There's no reason why you can't add additional drives using a SATA PCI card.

How many songs/films can a macbook pro hold?

I am thinking of getting a macbook (i curently have a dell laptop) and wondered how manys songs/films a macbook can hold before it will effect its performance.

With a Solid State Disk, there isn't a performance issue if it gets filled up, nor does defragmenttion have a effect, however they are expensive in larger sizes and will wear out faster if they are filled up most of the way or any lots of writes. SSD's are very fast but have limited write capability.
A Hard Drive comes in large sizes and thus can hold more at less expensive price, it's scrubable (unlike SSD's) of unwanted sensitive data, it's not shock proof like SSD's. Hard drives are not at fast as SSD's however they are fast enough for most people as RAM amount is really the speed king. They have unlimited write capability.
A hard drive's performance starts to suffer as soon as data is written to the second 50% of the drive as the amount of sectors in each inner track gets less and less the further you get to the center.
Hard drives write their data on the outter fastest tracks and works it's way in, so OS X and programs are usually up front and users files work their way in.
Hard drives usually require a defrag, more so on Windows and less so on OS X (for most) video and audio pro's usually require a defrag to free up drive space and a Zero erase of free space to map off bad sectors because of their large files.
If your into audio and video, a 7,200 RPM hard drive is better for playback than a stock 5,400 RPM drive, it's usually best to get twice as much hard drive space as your ever going to need.
With either a SSD or a hard drive, you need to keep 10% free space for OS X swap space etc., if it's not there the machine will refuse to boot.
If you have sensitive data, then you require a hard drive. If your wallet is fat and there is a large SSD available (500GB - 1TB) and you don't care about not being able to delete unwanted data, then get a SSD.
Since music and movie files are of different sizes, compressions etc., we can't say X or Y amount of songs or videos can be held.
However most of my 8.000 Mp3 193 kps songs are about 7 MB in size each.

How many IP's can Airport Express support in bridge mode?

I have an Airport Extreme (5th Generation) and I have an A/V system upstairs. I have 4 devices that need a 10/100 base T ethernet connection. If I setup my Airport Express in bridge mode and go into a 5 port gigabit switch, will it be able to manage more than 1 IP?

The AirPort Express can handle up to 10 simultaneous connections. Since the Express will be in Bridge Mode, the IP addressing will be handled by the "upstream" router....your AirPort Extreme.

How many airport express can be supported by software remote at one time.

how many airport express can be supported by software remote at one time?
I mean remote software can control at one time

Well Apple makes an iOS application called 'Remote' it's used to control iTunes on a Mac, Or to control an Apple TV Multimedia features.
Apple also makes "AirPort Utility" for iOS. Airport Utility can be used to configure Aiport Extrem, Airport Express And Time Capsul using an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. You can use it to connect to one device at a time. While connected to the device you can configure it to work as part of a larger Airport network. If you want to configure muliple device, you would connect to one device, configure it, And then connect to the next device, and configure it, and so on and so fourth.
I haven't found a limit.
How big of a network are you trying to make?

How many 7920 phones can be supported on one Cisco 1131AG access point?

hi all,
who knows that how many 7920 phones can be supported on one 1131ag AP? Thanks a lot...

Hi Alomar,
Hopefully this info will help;
Number of 802.11b Phones per AP
Before any discussion about network planning can take place, it helps to understand the basics of the overall network capacity.
The following network capacity guidelines apply to sizing the Wireless IP Telephony network:
No more than 7 concurrent G.711 calls per AP.
No more than 8 concurrent G.729 calls per AP.
Note These design recommendations assume that Voice Activity Detection (VAD) has been disabled on the Cisco 7920 Wireless IP Phones. Use of VAD on the Cisco 7920 phones can conserve bandwidth, but Cisco recommends that you disable VAD on all Cisco CallManager servers to provide better overall voice quality.
In addition to determining how much bandwidth is needed for an 802.11b VoIP call, you must also consider overall radio contention for a particular RF channel. The general rule is that you should not deploy any more than 20 to 25 802.11b endpoints per AP. The more endpoints you add to an AP, the more you reduce the amount of overall bandwidth and potentially increase transmission delays.
The maximum number of phones per AP depends on the calling patterns of individual users (based on Erlang ratios). Cisco recommends no more than 7 concurrent calls using G.711 or 8 concurrent calls using G.729. Beyond that number of calls, when excessive background data is present, the voice quality of all calls becomes unacceptable.
From this doc;

Hope this helps!

How much hdd space does mac os take up?

This is an odd question, but I'm going to be getting a mac book soon. I'm going to school to be an audio engineer and I want to get a mac so that I can run pro-tools easily. I'm looking at getting an 80gig hdd, but I'm not sure it will be enough. So I wanted to see if anyone could tell me how much disc space is taken up by mac os. So, if you have a mac book with a 80g hdd, how much hdd space was actually available when you turned it on for the first time?

Hi Daniel -
First off your 80G is going to be a few gig less because that's the reality of any drive. The base install of Tiger is around 3-4Gig. If I were you (and I believe most here would second this) I'd do a 'Custom' install and install only the application you know you are going to use. You can also delete language packs that you'll never need and printer drivers as well.
Your Macbook comes fully loaded out of the box ....play around with thing to see what you like and what you might need - then do a clean install tailored to you liking.
Depending on what you do with your audio - a bigger drive can be handy, but then an external drive may be a better choice to both record to and store info on.
80Gig may sound smallish compared to todays drives - but I think you'll have a hard time filling it up unless you start working with lots of video/graphic information.

About how many years would the integrated macbook pro w/retina batteries last before they required replacement service?

About how many years would the integrated macbook pro w/retina batteries last before they required replacement service?

It is entirely dependent upon how the batteries are used ( with a little bit of luck). There is no specific time period that any one can provide.

I'm a school tech coordinator. Many computers and many iPads. How many Apple IDs can I have per device, and how many devices can have the same Apple ID? To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

I'm a school tech coordinator. I have many computers and many iPads. I apologize if there is a some place that has all the rules governing the use of Apple IDs. I looked, and I even tried to get the answers from multiple Apple rep's. I couldn't find the answers.
How many Apple IDs can I have per device?
I want to use the same computer to sync and backup many iOS devices. The iOS devices would be associated with different Apple IDs.
I may load apps under a school Apple ID and have users load their own apps under thier own ID.
How many devices can have the same Apple ID?
Can I use the same Apple ID on all the computers in a lab?
Can I use the same Apple ID on all iPads for a particular grade level?
Are the rules different for iOS devices and computers?
I know that there are limits on "authorize" and "de-authorize" and how frequently those things can be done.
Recently I heard that for the life of an iOS device, it can only be associated with five Apple IDs. That is not good for a school giving iPads to students in a 1:1
To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

It would be best to address your questions there, especially since this is a public forum, and over there you could post more private issues with this set-up. Not to mention, getting more official answers.
