I have a 2008 Macbook.  How do you change out the hard drive from one macbook to another?  Maybe I just need the special screwdriver to get the hard drive out?

I have a 2008 Macbook.  I want to install a newer (used) hard drive into this one.  I think all I need is the special screwdriver to remove it, then install it.  Where can I get that screw driver?

There is some information on how to, plus some tool lists in the online iFixit guides for repair and replacement of parts, in these computers.

  • How do you change an iTunes gift card  from one account to another?

    I Want to know!

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put the balance back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of it has been spent.
    iTunes Store credit can't be spent on any sort of gift.

  • How do you move Compressor 3.05 settings from one Mac to another?

    How do you move settings from one Mac to another?
    I have Compressor 3.05 installed on two Intel Macs: a MacPro tower and a MacBook Aluminum. I created a new setting on the MacBook, and can see it in Library -> App Support -> Compressor as "<name>.setting" Then I moved to the Mac Pro for speed and created a few more settings. I copied these settings from the Mac Pro libary and put them in the MacBook library; restarted Compressor on the MacBook but still cannot see those presets from within Compressor. I hate to re-create all those settings, but I do move between both computers depending on what I am doing.
    What am I missing? Thanks.

    To copy single settings.
    1. Drag & Drop your setting from the Compressor Settings window to i.e. the desktop
    2. Copy .setting file to an other Mac
    3. Drag & Drop the .setting file(s) over to the Settings window in Compressor
    To copy settings groups (folders)
    1. Go to */Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Compressor*
    2. Copy the settings group folder you want to your i.e. the desktop
    3. Make sure Compressor is not open on the other Mac
    4. Copy the settings group folder to the same location on the other Mac
    5. Open Compressor
    Hope this helps

  • How do you move adobe acrobat XI pro from one computer to another?

    how do you move adobe acrobat XI standard pro from one computer to another?

    Hi jeszamom,
    You'll need either the installation media (if you bought from a retailer), or a downloaded installer. If you don't have the CD, you can download Acrobat from this links in this document: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X - Adobe.
    It's OK to keep it on the other computer; your license allows you to install it on up to two computers. But, if you'd like you can deactivate it on that old computer, which would free up that activation for use on yet another computer. Please see Activation & Deactivation Help - Adobe
    You'll need your serial number to activate on the new computer.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • How do I change ownership on iTunes Match from one account to another?

    I purchased iTunes Match using one account but use another as my account for iCloud and my iPhone. How do I change ownership of my Match account?

    I don't think you can.  Purchases made with an account are tied permanently to that account.  This is the reason why it is not a good idea to have more than one iTunes account unlesss you really need to keep them separate.

  • How do you safely and quickly move users from one mailstore to another?

    In our current NMS configuration we have our clients spread across 4 mailstores (mstore0-mstore3). The current stores are filling up and we need to move some clients from each existing store to a new one (mstore4). MoveUser will move the users but seems very slow given the number of clients and messages will have to move. Is there any better method and as important has anyone else done anything similar and would share experiences?

    Hi,
    MoveUser is the safe and better way for moving the user.
    Please mention from which version you are migrating users from different store.
    hope the following link will help you

    thanks for your reply
    i 'm doing what exactly you mention here .
    my problem here is
    i have 15 columns
    i am executing a query based on the values of the column(column name)  in the target page
    1)here i am passing(all) the column values to the next page-but  i want to pass only one column values(column name)
    when i click on any cell of that  column
    OR
    2)i can pass all column name to target page -there(in the target page) i can filter out
    i think option 1 would good if you filter out the unwanted columns

    No, you cannot transfer apps from one account to another iTunes account. Apps are DRM protected and forever tied to the account used to originally obtain them.

    You can't do it yourself. If you've just redeemed it and not spent any of it then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can move it the other account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • How to copy attributes (as in which playlists) from one song to another

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to copy the characteristics of a song--as in which playlists it appears in--from one song to another, so that the new song then appears on all those same playlists also? Or, if not, maybe you have some other idea for me:
    I'm working with a Mac. I have several hundred playlists with ~100 songs each, and about 3,500 songs in my iTunes. Most of these songs are currently AACs. I've realized I have a problem: If I want to burn disks with MP3-format songs, I will need to convert the AAC to MP3s to burn them. If I don't want to have thousands of duplicate songs, I will need to trash the AAC versions of those songs from my library. If I do that, they will disappear from the playlists they are currently in (one song might be in 20 different lists). If I had to manually take each MP3 version created, look at which playlists the original AAC version is in, drag the MP3 version to each playlist, and delete the AAC version, it would take a Looooong time. Does anyone know of any shortcuts? For example, is there some way to copy the information about which playlists a given song is in and then paste that info onto the new version so it now appears also in these playlists? Or some other idea? Thanks very much!
    Molly

    Never heard of any way of doing that. However, you may want to check out Doug's Scripts. There might be something there to help.
