HT1270 How can i get an upgrade on my mac hard drive to a bigger one and where?

I need help on upgrading my hard drive on my 11 inch macbook air to a bigger size, where do i get that kinda help?

The Air doesnt have a hard drive, rather a SSD,  the largest is a 512GB SSD, which is very expensive.
OWC (other world computing) sells them.
However your notebook is not a storage device, consider offloading static files to an external HD, as it needs to be the case regardless for data backups .

  • Mac-format to PC-format: How can I get my music off an external hard drive?

    I had a mac-formatted iPod for years, and all of my music is on an external hard drive that is hooked up to that computer. When I got a new iPod after mine was stolen, I had to get a PC-formatted iPod. How can I get my music off of the hard drive and onto my PC (and eventually my iPod)? I tried uploading the files into my iTunes account on the Mac, but they don't show up in my account on the PC. Most of the music are CDs that I copied onto my computer years ago, and had on my old iPod. Help!

    Your Firefox profile would have the data. You can find it at:
    *C:\Users\<Windows login/user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>
    **The file you want is called ''places.sqlite''
    You can copy that file if you want to restore your bookmarks to your current Firefox by going back to ''C:\Users\<Windows login/user name>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile folder>'' and overwriting the current file. Keep in mind, doing this will erase your current bookmarks.

  • 2 computers at home working with the same files i keep on an external hard drive to free up space the internal drives. I have an airport extreme time capsule to back up both computers. how can i get it to back up the hard drive plugged into time capsual?

    I want to run both my macbook pro and imac from a single external hard drive.
    i bought a time capsual and set it us as my network and plugged my external hard drive into it. so now both my computers can access it and work on the same image and film files. the time capsual does a lovely job of backing up both my computers and my wifes. but i cant get it to back up the external hard drive that is conected to it. ive looked on the forum and it seems to me that its not possible, which seems odd to me that mac would enable you to plug a hard drive into the time capsual but not let you back it up, what is the point in that!?
    so my question is can i back up the external hard drive with time machine, and if not how do i set up my home network so that all my computers can access the same files and time machine will back everything up?
    I did the upgrade to maverics on my imac which has caused me a major headache as now all my apature albums have been updated to 3.5.1 but my macbook pro can no longer open them because im unable to upgade it to maverics, but thats another story.
    If anyone can help me with my time machine issue i would be very greatful.
    many thanks

    The TC for whatever it is promoted as,, is still a simple hard disk in a router. It was designed for laptops to use as a backup. A desktop can use a USB drive, faster cheaper and more reliable than a network drive but the laptops need a network wireless storage. Hence the TC. It is NOT nor was it ever designed to do the job you are trying to use it for.. it is not a NAS.. it has no internal backup.
    What is more Time Machine has no ability to backup network drives no matter what their format.
    So the solution is to either use a real backup software.. eg Carbon Copy Cloner which can do far more than TM can or ever will. It is around $40 so hardly expensive. But since the TC was never designed for it, this will be slow.. and the next question is where are you going to back to. Using the TC as backup location for your files is less than great. Primarily because all your files are still on the same device albeit on different disk. It is also because mixing data and TM backups is not so great. The TC cannot be partitioned although you can alleviate some of the issues..
    See this info.

    Let me go back to the question.
    so my question is can i back up the external hard drive with time machine, and if not how do i set up my home network so that all my computers can access the same files and time machine will back everything up?
    Fundamentally the TC is the wrong place to do this.
    The right place is to plug the USB drive into the iMac.. since it is a desktop machine and you are probably not lugging it around. Simply share the USB drive to the network.
    The MBP can then access the USB drive, and it will be around twice the speed of networking to the same drive on the TC. TM on the iMac can then also backup the USB drive to the TC as part of the normal TM backups.
    The only thing is the iMac needs to be turned on to allow MBP access.

  • I have a G60 laptop with Vista. How can I get download to install on new hard drive? FT468UA

    Hard drive is in Chinese I want to change it to English. Or reinstall Vista on a nother hard drive.

    Sorry, there is no download of Vista install. You have to make a Recovery Disc set to reinstall Vista. However your copy is licensed for Chinese (I assume) so that is what you will get with a reinstall.

  • How can I transfer specific date from my old hard drive to a new one?

    I'm planning on buying the OWC Data Doubler and installing an additional drive [240GB OWC SSD].  I want to transfer everything except my iTunes library to the SSD so that it will run faster.  I can't transfer the iTunes library because it's too big.  How can I transfer just the data I want [OS, Documents, etc.] but leave the iTunes library on the drive.  I do have an external drive/time machine backup available.

  • How can I transfer my music from an external hard drive to my Time Capsule and can I play it through apple TV?

    All my music is currently stored on an external hard drive, but I would like to transfer everything onto my Time Capsule, so that everything is backed up, what is the best way to do this?
    Is there a way I can then play all the content stored on the Time Capsule through apple tv without the need to clog up my macbook hard drive?

    Did you import the music on the external hard drive into your iTunes library on your new PC or point iTunes at the location of your library stored on the external hard drive?

  • How can I move photos from an external mac hard drive to new Macbook pro?

    Hi I hope someone can help. My girlfriend spilled soda on her 2008 macbook aluminium running Leopard , rendering it useless. She has since bought a new Macbook pro and would like to get her photos from iphoto onto her new comp. I've removed her harddrive from her old damaged computer and put it into an external USB enclosure, her new Macbook picks up the external hardrive but when I try to move the photo folder (drag) onto her new computer, it says something about the version of iphoto not being compatible. Also when i click on the photo folder on the external harddrive there are no photos on it. Any help would be appreciated, and would score me some brownie points with her .

    Does she have any photos in the iPhoto library on her new machine?
    What version of iPhoto does she have?
    The general answer is to trash the iPhoto library on the new computer (assuming it is empty) and drag the old iPhoto library to the pictures folder of the new machine and launch iPhoto letting it convert the library

  • How do I get data from a pc external hard drive to my mac

    I am about to purchase an Air. I have an external hard drive I have used for years with my PC.  It has countless pictures and music.  How can I get that data from my PC external drive to my new Air and also to the Time Machine?

    Thank you for your reply.  It is a Western Digital external USB 3.0 formatted for PC.  It includes pics, videos, music, documents, power point, etc.  would it still just be a drag and drop?
    Thanks!

  • How can I get an Upgrade for PE8/Win to PE10/Mac?

    I used PE8 on an Windows7 PC but changed all systems now to Mac - working mainly on an iMac. I would like to upgrade my PE8 to PE10 for Mac but I can't install the old version on my iMac. How can I get an upgrade then? Thanks for feedback

    The upgrade is usually not a good deal, financially. If you look around you can almost always find the full version of PSE for less than/the same price as the upgrade version. Watch amazon and the big box stores, which often sell it as a loss leader. The boxed version of PSE 10 includes both mac and windows versions.

  • How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

    How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't, but you have a few alternatives.
    Best option: If you made the movie on the DVD in iMovie (or even another editing application) and still have the project, go back to the project and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
    Next best option: If you still have the original movie that you put on the DVD, open it in QuickTime and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
    Worst option: Use something like Mpegstreamclip (Quicktime Mpeg2 playback component required) to convert the DVD to h264.

  • How can I get a reference to all controls on a front panel of one type )for example of the type Text Ring?

    I'd like to set the strings[] property of all the Text Ring controls on a front panel at once without creating a property node for every text ring. How can i do that?

    This is likely more complicated than making property nodes for each
    ring, but you can do it. Make a subVI that takes in a panel reference,
    reads the array of control references, loops through them looking for
    rings, and modifying the Strings[] property on each ring.
    The part of this that will probably be the least obvious, when you
    have an array of control references there are two ways to find out
    if an element is a ring. You can read the classID and compare it
    to the cla
    ssID of a true ring control. An alternative is to cast
    the control reference to a ring control using a Cast to more specific
    node and wire the error out to a case structure. The error case is
    where the objects that aren't rings will go. The success case case
    where you will have a valid ring refnum that you can use to modify
    the strings.
