How to get a replacement mounting materials for a A1347 Mac Mini HD

Hello,
I have purchased two Unibody Mac Mini's (A1347) on eBay (one 2010 and one 2011) and both have had the hard drives removed. Now hard drives are easier to replace, but the Unibody Mac's require a rubber or plastic cover and two mounting screws. A good picture of both can be found here:
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac+Mini+Mid+2010+Hard+Drive+Replacement/3113#s1548 1
My question is, is there an Apple replacement part that contains the cover and two screws? Has any one come up with a good working alternative? I guess if I could find the screws I could use a solid state drive since that wouldn't short on on the case (I think). It really seems like a shame to have these Mac's be useless because of some rubber/plastic and a few screws. This has to be something that an Apple tech runs in to occasionally (said he hopefully). Any input would be greatly appreciated, especially an Apple part number
I've thought of using anti-static bags, but I'm not sure if it could withstand the heat. And then there's the screws/
Thanks,
Jason M.

So you're saying the cover only needs to be on one side, even though the Apple cover goes over both. Okay, that makes sense -- the circuit board for the drive is only on one side.
As for the plastic, would blister pack work?
Thanks for the help,
Jason M.

    The GUI version of Disk Utility is very limited in what sort of RAID configurations you can create. It will only allow you to have a single partition on the disk and to make a RAID using that.
    Boot Camp requires creating additional partitions on the disk and hence it complaining.
    There is a commandline version of Disk Utility called diskutility (duh!). It has far more options available. Details for this command can be obtained by typing man diskutility in Terminal.app.
    It appears that in theory you might be able to do the following.
    Start off with both disks not setup for RAID
    Use Boot Camp to create the Windows partition. Repeat this on each disk.
    Then in Terminal.app manually convert the boot Mac partition to a RAID using diskutil appleraid enable
    Then add the matching partition on the second drive to make it a working mirror using diskutil appleraid add
    Then in Terminal.app manually create a RAID for the Windows partition using both drives and use FAT32 as the format using diskutil appleraid create
    Then boot and run the Windows installer and tell it to erase the Windows partition as NTFS
    I cannot gurantee the above will work and you should obviously have backups if needed. Another option would be to have the Mac partition covered by RAID but not the Windows partition, this would result in three volumes one Mac RAIDed volume, and two other non RAIDed volumes even though you have two physical disks.

  • Where can I purchase a replacement power cord for my mid2010 mac mini?

    I cannot seem to find it in the store.
    Also, would it be unsafe to keep the cord plugged it but disconnected to the mac mini itself?

    The Mac mini 2010 and 2011 models use a standard IEC C7 type power cable. This is sometimes described as a 'figure of eight' type connector.
    See this link for some examples. In this case there is nothing specially Apple about the cable.
    http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keyw ords=iec+c7
    Having the cable plugged in to a wall outlet but not a device at the other end is not desirable. While there are no bare metal contacts to touch, if it was fiddled with by a child, or dropped in a liquid bad things could happen.

    Hi Khanna,
    <i> 1. Should we create DT MT MI and all (OR) not</i>
        Yes U need to create for HTTP site...for RFC U need to import..
    <i>2.In Request DT how the message structure wil be to get the list of materials from sap r/3 system as Response(Ex: Fields in the source structure).</i>
        You create your own structres for Request and respoce.. and Map it with RFC..
    <i>3.Or the second thing is how to get the list of materials start with some alphabate.</i>
        I think it will come with acending order....

    How to get the "last changed by" for a set of function modules?
    is there any table to get it??

    See [this|Re: Date of creation of function module] I posted earlier.
    >TFDIR will give you the name of the function group program and the include number.
    >E.g. SAPLZFUNCGROUP Include 01.
    >From this you can construct the include name: LZFUNCGROUPU01.
    >You can look this up in TRDIR to find the creation date (CDAT) of the function module.
    In your case, you need unam and udat.

    I am sorry that you don't find the answer to be correct. In THIS forum, telling you that you are in the wrong forum, and suggesting where to post for correct answers, or indeed any support, IS the answer.
    I'm also sorry that you purchased a phone that you are having trouble with. If the vendor cannot help you (HTC), and the eBay seller cannot help you, then you really do need to either follow up with the forums Ken suggests, or the HTC forum, or with eBay.

    The Radeon 9000 driver works for the Radeon 7500 card.  I have successfully used it on a T43 with Vista Ultimate x86

    Unfortunately no.  The Radeon 9000 driver should bring your graphics score up to close to 2, but it will not get it high enough to enable Aero support.

  • How to get calender in f4 help for select options in module pool (URGENT)

    Hi All,
    how to get calender in f4 help for select options in module pool
    Please help .
    Thanx in advance,
    amruta

    Hi Amruta,
    First of all, you can not create select-options directly in module pool.
    For creating <b>select-option is dialog prog</b> follow these steps:
    1. create your selection screen model as subscreen by:
    SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 2000 AS SUBSCREEN.
    PARAMETRS: P_MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR.
    SELECT-OPTIONS: S_BISMAT FOR MARA-BISMAT.
    SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN 2000.
    2. create a screen ( example 100 ) in your module-pool dedicated for selection-screen. on this screen layout sketch a sub-screen name like subscree_2000.
    3. write this bit of code in PBO and PAI of the screen 100;
    CALL SUBSCREEN SUBSCREEN_2000.
    4. include this code in PBO:
    INCLUDING SY-REPID '2000'
    6. write user_command of PAI, call screen which is going to executable after selection-screen.
    5. create a transcation for this dialog module pool with screen 100.
    6. execute this transaction and you can see it's behaving like cool with select-options.
    After that in [bprocee on value-request]</b>, use F4_DATE for both from and to option field.
    Hope it will solve the problem.
    Regards

    Oh no! I'm sorry to see there's a lot of confusion here and data shared, x-rayDon. We can definitely work to fix. This happens when two devices share the same Apple ID, so she will need to reset hers. She can do so by assessing this link Apple - My Apple ID. You will need to decide who will keep the account if want separate Apple IDs since purchases cannot be shared unless you do Family Sharing.
