I would like to add a ssd to my pavilion dv7
Hey
I own a pavilion dv7 4050eb, and I'm looking to add a ssd.
There are 2 compartments to place a hard drive in my notebook, one is currently used and the second one is empty.
So I thought there wouldn't be a problem.
But when I went to my local specialized computer store (where I bought this notebook), they told me I won't work if the bracket and connection cable for a second hard drive weren't included with my notebook (which is te case) because they can't get those from HP, no matter how hard they try.
Is there realy no way HP can supply these simple parts (bracket and cable)?
And if I could get those, would there be any problems whith installing a ssd in this specific notebook?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes you can add a second HDD or a SSD to the second slot/bay on your machine. You need a caddy cable to go with it. Please watch these videos:

(and many more)
And the caddy is something like this:

View Solution.Yes. Your notebook does use a SATA hard disk, so you can upgrade it to an SSD disk.

Good day all
I would like to add a solid state drive to my imac 27" which currently has 1TB drive. I know that you can by the imac with a ssd and an hdd but can a dealer install a ssd after the fact?I did there are no videos for installing a HD in a late model iMac on OWC's website that I could find. Once again, can you provide the URL on OWC's website that shows instructions on how to install?
Also it will NOT be the same process because SSD's are 2.5" devices and the internal HD's in a iMac are 3.5" devices. Therefore either an adapter or some type of bracket must be used. Apple does NOT include the bracket on non-SSD equiped iMacs so it's up to the shop or user to source one. -
Have a 3350 and would like to add it to my network. Do I need to make IOS changes?
In my home network I have a number of netgear gigabit unmanaged switches. My Firewall/Router acts as DHCP and DNS.
I would like to add a Cisco 3550 to segment the network and put all of my Tivo IPTV equipment on for fastest throughput. Not Vlan, just a physical where all the Tivo traffic from the DVR to all of the streaming devices will be on this switch and will not need to traverse the other network switches
As a test I plugged the 3550 into the network and then threw a workstation into the switch as well. I wasn't sure if the switch would do auto x over but it did and it appeard to work. I was able to get to the internet from the PC connected to the switch. When I tried to access my NAS from the computer it did not work.
I'm wondeing if I have to make any configuration changes to the switch in order to do what I'd like? Since everythig I use is unmanaged I don't have a lot of experienece with managed devices and it's been years and years since I've done any IOS (is it even still called that?) configuration.
I'm sure there are firmware updates for this switch it's been in a box for many years. Can I obtain firmware for this switch without any sort of subscription? If so, can you point me in the right direction.
Also, how do I get into this switch once it's on my network? Is there a web interface? SSH? or do I have to use the console port? It doesn't show up on my network as an IP address like some of my other gear does.
Would this work plug and play?
Thanks,
RoveerI don't think iTunes can do that. Your best source for finding out how is to search on Facebook. It will probably involve some sort of formatting for audio files you upload.
I presume when you say "my music" you really mean it is your music -- you singing and playing the guitar or something. Web sites are getting very wary of posting of copyright media. -
I have a Linksys wireless router that is the hub of my home wireless network. I have been successful in adding a HP OfficeJet 6500 All-in-one Printer an old HP DeskJet 890C that I purchased in 1997 with a computer running Windows 95. The HP 890C has been my tireless workhorse throughout my two kids K-12 school as well as printing reams of paper during my MBA...and guess what: it still works. However, my daughter has just returned home from college and she has a HP DeskJet F4480 printer/scanner that she would like to add it to the home network. I have been researching the problem, but haven't been successful in finding out if this printer is compatible to add to a wireless network. Or simply, will a 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter suffice? I am also adding a new Windows 7 laptop in the network, that will need to print to this F4480. I patiently await the forum's response.
My mistake, it seems that price was a deciding factor when I purchased the F4480 in lieu of a more expensive wireless ready printer-scanner. I will eventually come-up with a solution as I did with the 890C where I have a wireless print server connected directly to the printer serial connection. It seems that backward compatible is still evident, but I am having some problems coming up with the long-lasting HP49 and HP23 tri-color ink packs.
Here is the rub; I don't replace technology because it is out-dated. I upgrade and or repair everything myself. I found warranties not worth the paper their written on and in most cases, the technical support was lacking. My Win95 desktop went thru several major components until I found that it was becoming harder to find software to run with it. I finally replaced it in 2007. Now it seems that there has been a paradigm shift toward utilities that are very hungry for memory, and even if I didn't want to, I am forced to come over to the dark side with a device that has a minimum of 8GB of RAM. -

I would like to add a new Canon camera profile to the RAW interface
Hi, I would like to add a new Canon camera profile to the RAW interface.
I have recently installed the new camera profile 'Studio Portrait' which i download from here:
http://www.canon.co.jp/imaging/picturestyle/file/studio-portrait.html
When I open up a RAW files in Camera RAW, go to 'Camera Calibration', click on the drop down list called
'Camera Profile' I only see 'Adobe Standard, Faithful etc etc'.
My questions are, can i add the same camera profile i put in my camera, into a folder with in photoshop?
Or is photoshop reading the raw file and only seeing the default camera profiles?
If I could see the new camera profile listed it would help with work flow.
Best
JL-B
Please help, ive not had a good time waiting on the phone and trying to explain this to a live chat, hours have been wasted. Once i know the answer I can get back to the commission.Are you following this
Apply a camera profile
To apply a camera profile, select it from the Camera Profile pop-up menu in the Camera Calibration tab of the Camera Raw dialog box. The Adobe Standard profile for a camera is named Adobe Standard. Camera Matching profiles include the prefix Camera in the profile name. The Camera Profile pop-up menu displays only profiles for your camera.
If the only profile in the Camera Profilemenu is Embedded, it means that you have selected a TIFF or JPEG image. Adobe Standard and Camera Matching profiles work only with raw images.
Note: If you have selected a raw file and Adobe Standardand Camera Matching profiles do not appear in the Camera Profilepop-up menu, download the latest Camera Raw update. -
I would like to add a password to the saved passwords list.
I would like to add a password to Firefox's saved passwords but I can find no way to manually do this. The site does allow password saving, but Firefox does not prompt me to "Remember, Never Remember or Not Now" when I go to log in. The site is not listed on the "remembered passwords - exceptions" list. I do not know whether I have clicked "Never Remember" on a previous visit. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.
Do you get that prompt on other sites if you try to store a password?
Did you check that the website isn't using autocomplete=off ?

I would like to add to the Safari toolbar on my ipad 5 IOS 6 machine. I have searched the web and find some instructions to do this but the words and pictures do not match what I can see. I am beginning to think this is not a capabilty of the ipad 5 but perhaps for a Mac computer running Safari. Does anyone know if it is possible to add tools to the toolbar on the latest version of iPad OS & Safari Browser? If so please tell me how. Thanks
You cannot customize the Safari toolbar on the iPad.
What you can do on the iPad is go to Settings>Safari>Always show Bookmarks Bar>On and that will add a bookmarks bar on to the Safari browser. -

That will take you to the site but not click the button (bouton had me thrown the first time) for you.
If you want more than that you'll have to fiddle with it.

I have an iPhone and use Roadrunner as my email server. When I open RR it gives me 4 choices, inbox, drafts, sent and trash. I would like to add saved, how can I do this. I contacted RR and they said it is an Apple problem to solve.
Roadrunner is POP email, and the feature you are looking for
is a function of IMAP email. Roadrunner has not announced
any plans to make IMAP available. If this is important to you,
get a gmail account (which can be setup as IMAP) and configure
your Roadrunner account to automatically forward emails to the
gmail account.
