I need help finding a replacement hard drive/IR sensor cable for my laptop.

I have a 17" Macbook Pro from September 2009, and the hard drive cable has ripped at the junction where the hard drive cable and the IR sensor cable meet.
My brother needed to use my comp to try to transfer stuff from the hard drive from his broken laptop to an external hard drive, and the cable ripped the second time he was fiddling with it.
Here are some pics:

When searching for "macbook pro unibody 2009 17" hard drive/ir sensor cable" it doesn't come up with any for the 17" but it comes up with a bunch for 13" and 15" and it seems like the 15" ones would work for my computer.
(Like the one in the picture on this page: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Unibody+2.53+GHz+Mid+ 2009+Hard+Drive-IR+Sensor+Cable/1520/1)
I'm having no success finding a cable that looks just like the one in my comp that's specifically for the 17" that goes to the hard drive AND the IR sensor. For example, all I've been able to find so far are things like this:
http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Pro-17-Inch-Unibody-Hard-Drive-Cable /IF162-015
which does not appear to be the cable I need, as it doesn't seem as though I could attach the IR sensor cable to it.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Need help setting up external hard drive for FCE project

Hi folks,
Basically I am looking at making a 20-30 minute video this summer of my motocross adventures and what not and have equipped myself with an iMac (2.93 GHZ Core2Duo 640GB 4GB) and of course, FCE. I have tried smaller projects before (ranging in length between 20 seconds to upwards of a few minutes) but have noticed an overall decline in computer speed which I am under the impression is being caused by the 10s of GBs of video project files and what not that seem to be scrawled away within my computer. Before I made any videos, my computer was sitting around 560 GBs of free space. Since making maybe 3-4 videos (50/50 iMovie and FCE) its down below 400GBs. I'm not sure whether it's the raw video files or the projects themselves that are so large, but it's slightly frustrating. Is there any sort of software (either third party or apple) that can look at your hard drive and tell you exactly where all the biggest files are? I'll post this question in the iMac forum as I realize this is for FCE, but I thought if anyone knew of one it would be extremely helpful.
Anyways, I have a SimpleDrive 320GB external HD that I plan to use as my external for making this project within FCE and would like some help in terms of how to set it up with FCE, what are the best settings etc. It is currently formatted with Windows, so I will also need help in setting it up for a Mac. I do have about 120GBs used on it already and was also wondering if I could keep this when re-formatting, but I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to that.
Sorry for the long-winded post; any information on this or something related would be fantastic. Thanks.

Yes, you can use your external HD with FCE ... provided it is formatted as +Mac OS Extended+ and is connected via FireWire.
You will need to back up any data that is on the drive that you want to keep. Before reformatting it. Formatting erases everything that is on the drive.
Use Disk Utility (located in your +Applications > Utilities+ folder) to format the drive.
After formatting the drive, go into +FCE > System Settings+ and change your FCE scratch disk location to the external drive.

Do I need to use all the hard drive for time machine or can I partition it

Do I need to use all the hard drive for time machine or can I partition it

You cannot partition a TC disk.
See pondini about mixing data and backups.. but remember this.. the TC has no way to back itself up and TM cannot backup files on the TC. Anything not backed up on the TC will be lost at some future point.

Do i need to buy the same hard driver for my iMac or i can buy any hard driver 3.5?

Do i need to buy the same hard driver for my iMac or i can buy any hard driver 3.5?

You can buy any 3'5" SATA hard drive for the iMac. You can buy a hard drive at OWC.
Note that Late 2009 and newer iMacs have the temperature sensor inside the hard drive, so it's important to get one with that sensor. In this case, I recommend you to take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller and get your hard disk replaced

Need help with HP dv5 Hard Drive.

I believe I need to replace my hard drive for my HP dv-5. What I need to know is can I put in any Sata 2.5HD or does it have to be the Toshiba HD that is currently installed? I understand there could be issues going with a Western Digital with drivers maybe....??? But from a cost prospective I'm think of going with a much larger capacity HD and maybe going from 5400RPM to 7200RPM. Currently I have 320GB and I'd love to move up to a 500GB or even a Terabyte.
The reason I believe my HD has crash is because when I start up my laptop it asks me to install the OS. I've been having issues with this laptop for some time now, it seems to loop at start up without ever loading. And now with this OS issue I feel it to be much easier to just purchase and replace the HD. I also have Windows Vista installed on this laptop which I feel is absolutely awful, I have Windows 7 and would love to be able to install this on my dv-5.
Additionally, I have attempted to load Windows 7 from USB flash drive onto this current dv-5 and it fails.
If anyone has any comments or suggestions, has anyone done this successfully...???
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.
Thanks,
-Scott

1TB drive will be too thick and will not fit in the drive bay, any size below that is OK, I suggest the Western Digital Scorpio Black Series 7200rpm drives.

Need help with networking external hard drive

Hi,
I am working on a corporate network and I have a Western Digital My Book Studio Edition external hard drive attached to a Mac OSX 10.4. i have other Macs connecting through the network to this Mac and accessing the external hard drive and it works just fine for that.
What I need help with is the fact that I also have several PCs on the same network (all XP), that need to connect to the hard drive and access the files. I've been able to connect to the Mac using the XP by accessing the IP address. I also set the Mac up with password credentials so that I had to log in to the Mac to access the files. But when I try to access the Mac, it only shows the main computer drive as the only available share and no external drive.
Does anyone know how to access a Western Digital external drive on a Mac from a PC through a network?

For an external hard disk drive or other (different) system shared
storage devices to work, they probably should be formatted in a
format seen by both operating systems.
If the WD unit is not seen by Windows computers on your network,
the WD may have been formatted in HFS+ for the Macintosh. That
is OK unless you need a Windows computer to access the same.
The Macintosh can see and use a standard Windows disc format;
so the external drive may need to be reformatted away from HFS+
if that is really what is going on (and archive any data on the suspect
drive elsewhere, since it will be lost to reformatting overwrites)
and then both Mac OS X and Windows should see the files on there.
And Macs set up to run Windows may also see the non-Mac format;
without having to re-boot via BootCamp, if that option is in use.
As to the other question(s) I really have no idea at this point in time.
And since that may be the rub, hopefully someone will follow up here.
Good luck & happy computing!

I need to buy an external hard drive for my MacBook Air as it is almost full. Which one should I buy?

Do I need to buy an Apple external Hard Drive for my MacBook Air?

There is no such thing as an Apple hard drive, ...Apples doesnt make same.
avoid western digital if possible.
Yes, having an external HD is necessary for data backups and keeping large media files for packing around etc.
you need data redundancy.

Most storage experts agree on the Hitachi 2.5"
Hitachi is the winner in hard drive reliability survey:
Hitachi manufacturers the safest and most reliable hard drives, according to the Storelab study. Of the hundreds of Hitachi hard drives received, not a single one had failed due to manufacturing or design errors. Adding the highest average lifespans and the best relationship between failures and market share, Hitachi can be regarded as the winner.

URGENT HELP: Need to reformat an external hard drive for Mac/Win!

We got a Desk Hammer external hard drive and my hubby chose to format it as Mac Only when it first initialized. We needed it to be formatted for Mac/Win usage. Now we cannot figure otu how to reinitialize and reformat it. It's been years since I messed with his Mac. Help--right now we just have a big old doorstop instead of a hard drive! BTW Desk Hammer is no help with support (I guess that's why they were on sale); their website isn't even complete!

Use the Disk Utility application found in /Applications/Utilities to format the Drive as MS-DOS File System. This will be readable by both Mac and Windows platforms.
Hope this helps! bill

I need help installing a new hard drive in a MacBook

I have a MacBook white 13" and need to replace the hard drive, however, I am having problems replacing the drive, what a difference with a Lenovo or HP laptops, it is real easy. I hope this has change in Apple later models.
I checked a video from OWC (http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/index.cfm?page=Video/macbook/intel13/intel 13m.html), I tried following this video however the drive does not fit all the way in to the slot the way the video demonstrates, I do not want to force it, I may break the laptop.
I am not able to to see inside the slot and check the pins to verify which way is the correct way.
Can some one please help me?,
Thank you

I am back, sorry to be so soon, I did not espected any other issue, but I am new to the mac world.
First I erased, formatted and partition my drive.
Second I try restoring via the time machine and it worked, but the first time it asked me for my password, it would not take it.
Third I was able to install MAC OSX 10.5 with my DVD and restore everything with the Time Machine and I it logged me in, I changed my password and restarted and now it just restarts and restarts and restarts, I think that it may be permissions in the new drive, when I ran the verified permission it reads that permissions differed.
Is there a way to boot safe mode in the MAC?
I read something about firmware password, should I be concern? could this be an issue?
Thank you so much
Mario

Need help with Raid 1 hard-drive replacement

Hello All - I hope someone can help with this.
I have a Raid 1 set-up using two 1Tb external drives (1 Seagate and 1 Lacie) which has been working perfectly - until yesterday that is. I received an error message saying the Raid 1 Set was degraded. On checking I got an error message against the Lacie HDD 'Disk failure'. Following instructions i found on Apple Support i tried to replace the failed drive with a new 1Tb drive - but then got an error message saying that the new drive was too small - on checking the original Seagate Drive reads as 999.86 Gb with the new Drive reading 999.83 Gb. I presume this is to do with formatting of the 2 drives, although one would assume (perhaps naively that as both drives are 1Tb they would be the same size when formatted!!
In light of this I ran 'verify disk' on the Raid 1 Set and this was ok and I am now attempting to rebuild the failed Lacie drive - 10 hours still to go. However even if this works I would want to replace this disk as it is quite old now. The Raid 1 Set is backed up to Time Machine on a separate HDD.
Can anyone suggest a way forward for me to swap out the old drive and replace it with the new drive that I have purchased - I can't see how exchanging this for another make would be any guarantee that the disk would be the same size? I understand that I can't replace the failed drive with a larger drive. The only other way I can see of proceeding is to buy a second new disk (same as I got today) and create a new Raid 1 set and copy everything across.
Thanks in Advance

Need help with my mac hard drive?

I'm running MacDrive Standard to view my Mac-enabled hard drive on my pc laptop. Worked fine for a year now. Suddenly, Word documents start becoming inaccessible, saying there's something wrong with them, my movies and TV shows on the hard drive lag, as well as viewing photos on it. Today, I take a look at it and Windows says "The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable." This prompts MacDrive Disk Repair to ask to check the volume, which it does, only to tell me no errors were found. What do I do? I've got 300 gigs of information (on a 750 Western Digital My Passport hard drive). Any suggestions would be appreciated, because I'm desperate.

I used to use MacDrive from MediaFour. I think I used versions 7 & 8 mostly. I even had 5 or 6 licenses for it so I could use my HFS+ formatted drives on my many PCs. Before I stopped using my PCs I had switched to using the Paragon HFS+ driver for Windows as it did behave a little better under Windows 7 for me.
Now, on to the real issue, your dirve is reporting corruption, but when you run the MacDrive repair option is says there is nothing wrong. Have you tried connecting the drive to your Mac and letting MacOS run a valume check and repair on it? I would think that it is quite possible for MacDrive to not find all the problems that MacOS could find and fix.

Need help with cloning my hard drive to an external

I need to clone my hard drive to an external drive so that it is bootable and able to be used still, but I also need to do a fresh system install on my macbook pro. I have alot of programs currently on my system that I don't want on the fresh install but I will still need to use them on the external if I boot off of it.
My questions are:
1. Is this possible to do
2. If so how do I do it.
Thanks in advance

So virtually 2 different systems being able to operate on the one machine?
yes and yes.
most of the prosumers here keep a pair or at least one clone of every machine they have, theyre priceless tools for recovery from HD crash, and priceless in testing and usefulness.
yes, people use a clone drive for many things including testing or 'sandboxing' new software on a clone rather than their computer.
its the best fastest way to getting back to 100% quickly after a HD crash, many many advantages.
HD clones
Advantages:
1. HD clones are the best, quickest way to get back to 100% full operation in mere seconds.
2. Once a HD clone is created, the creation software (Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper) is no longer needed whatsoever, and unlike TM, which requires complex software for its operational transference of data, a HD clone is its own bootable entity.
3. HD clones are unconnected and isolated from recent corruption.
4. HD clones allow a “portable copy” of your computer that you can likewise connect to another same Mac and have all your APPS and data at hand, which is extremely useful.
5. Rather than, as many users do, thinking of a HD clone as a “complimentary backup” to the use of TM, a HD clone is superior to TM both in ease of returning to 100% quickly, and its autonomous nature; while each has its place, TM can and does fill the gap in, say, a 2 week old clone. As an analogy, the HD clone itself is the brick wall of protection, whereas TM can be thought of as the mortar, which will fill any cracks in data on a week, 2-week, or 1-month old HD clone.
6. Best-idealized 2nd platform redundancy for data protection, and 1st level for system restore of your computers internal HD. (Time machine being 2nd level for system restore of the computer’s internal HD).
HD cloning software options:
1. SuperDuper HD cloning software APP (free)
2. Carbon Copy Cloner APP (will copy the recovery partition as well)
3. Disk utility HD bootable clone.
