Is it possible to have an ssd installed by an authorized technician in Turkey?

I have an imac 2011 27 that i want a ssd to be installed.
while i can do it my self , i would prefer that is to be installed by an authorized technitian.
I've talked to them and the response i got was it is not possible to add an ssd to imac as a second drive.
He is not aware of that it is possible, so it is normal for him to think that i can't be done.
He also told me that only apple ssd can be installed which is not true either.
I've read in several places where people took their imacs to certified technitians and have their ssd's installed by them for an installation price.
I need some kind of approval from apple that it can be done, but don't know how can i acquire it.
Since i don't have apple care yet, and i don't want pay 50 dollars just to ask a question, i would really appreciate if someone can show me a way.
thanks in advance.
btw i'm in turkey if anyone needs to know.

It is possible to add an extra hard drive. I don't know if they can do it for somewhere in Turkey however.
I have no idea how/if it is possible to get official confirmation from Apple that it is possible.

  • Is it possible to have a cover image without Title & Author?

    Hi
    I'm creating some iBooks of my grandfather's hardcopy books published in the 1930's & 40's & want to create a period embossed leather style cover, with the title & author name in gold - I've created an image in Photoshop for this.
    Is it possible to simply have a cover image without adding a Title & Author in iBooks Author & if so, where do I create the Title & Author info so that it displays correctly in iBooks?
    Thanks

    Here is a new book cover I created from the Elementary Algebra / Modern template. After selecting the font, size, style, and color for the title, apply those settings to Title 1's paragraph style in the Style Drawer. Do the same for Author. Lastly, go to Inspector / Document/ Document and add the Title and Author's name here. Now you are all set. Have fun. - Fabe

  • Is it possible to have iMovie HD and iMovie HD 6 installed on the same Mac

    While I like some of the video editing features of iMovie HD 6, the problems with the Ken Burns Effect have killed my ability to create slideshows with iMovie. This worked just fine in iMovie HD (version 5.x). Is it possible to have both applications installed on my iMac and run one for slideshow production and the other for video production?
    I searched and could not find a thread that addressed this issue. If there is one, the URL will be greatly appreciated.

    Catspaw,
    Thank you. I should have thought of this, as I am running iMovie 8 and iMovie HD 6 on an Intel iMac at work. When I installed iMovie HD 6 onto this system (I'm not a fan of the latest incarnation of iMovie), it was put into a "previous version" folder. Since my G4 iMac already has been upgraded to iMovie HD 6, I'll just put iMovie HD 6 into a folder (maybe label it as the "latest version") and then install iMovie HD 5.
    Thank you for the insight on the trash emptying messing with the re-editing of photos. If I start a new project using the same photos from iPhoto (I use the media browser within HD 6 to select my photos in my iPhoto library) and never empty the trash until the project is complete, will the problem not appear? Or, does some magic thing tag my iPhotos so that I have to reimport them into iPhoto before using them again in iMovie HD 6?

  • Possible to have 2 soundcard

    Ok, so as the topic says is it possible to have 2 soundcards ?
    I currently have SB X-FI Extremusic and my old Audigy 2 ZS.
    I'm using my X-FI card atm, but I would need to use my Audigy 2 ZS to play Ravenshield.
    So is it possible to have both card installed at the same time without having conflicts and beeing able to switch between those ?

    Gratitude fer the location o that file jutapa....i managed to addon more eq settings and they seem to be saved in that specific file you hinted at so graciously;also,i noticed that once the file name is edited,that file can be replaced by the modified one i am providing here....this one includes the Eq settings fer a variety o types o music and are made specifically after testing multiple times with quite satisfactory results;the base idea fer every eq setting was taken from the original sbli've!5. and the windows media player eq settings,thus,if you like the eq settings of either ,this is bound to prove useful.
    <A href="ftp://anonymous:email%[email protected]/test230/5/Creative%20Eq-/PCI_BUS02-5-202-9400.dat]ftp://anonymous:email%[email protected]/test230/5/Creative%20Eq-/PCI_BUS02-5-202-9400.dat[/url]
    Right click and save it;replace the file name with yer own[i.e.rename] ;with the file you can find in yer directory at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Creative\CADI\Preset\
    Just replace and Rename this with the original and voila,you should now have the easily selectable eq settings of:
    Blues,Country,Folk,Grunge,Heavy Metal,Metal,Oldies,Opera,Rap,Reggae,Swing and Techno
    The original Eq settings are not altered and can be quickly identified by the extra "Eq" in front o name.
    If this works well,i could go ahead with creating more eq settings and if someone has made a few they would wish to share,it would be a pleasure fer me to try them out.Also,remember that replacing this file over yer original will cause you to lose any of yer own custom eq settings;so it would be wise to make a backup o that file before you mess around with this one.
    Although i noticed the Eax settings are also existant in that .dat file,i am not sure about editing those yet;will manage to edit those soon i presume....more than editing,it is selecting them which might be a pain,since creative has only given a fixed set o slots fer the eax panel-any hint would be nice.....once again,thank you jutapa ;]

  • Is it possible to have 16 GB RAM configuration and a SSD in a mid '09 MBP.

    To reiterate:
    Currently my MBP is configured as
    - mid '09 MBP
    - 8GB RAM
    - 2.66 GHz intel core 2 Duo
    - GeForce 9400M
    - 320 GB HDD
    Want to modify to
    -16 GB RAM
    - SSD of similar size or greater if possible
    THANK YOU!!

    An example of an SSD non-rotational drive to replace or upgrade whatever
    original equipment spec (likely 5400-RPM, less likely 7200-RPM) would be
    this series from OWC that states it has the same data transfer rate as your
    computer's hard drive data speed; it need not be double-fast and run only
    at half that. Just get one that closely matches your computer, as I'd stated.
    If your computer were newer, then you'd look into the 6G instead of this 3G series
    SSD. This may be the better choice available for the older MacBook Pros. These
    are a good product and affordably priced with above average guaranty. They have
    a section of how-to video instructions at the bottom of the previously posted page.
    Since you are looking to upgrade past the old HDD spec, with a faster product,
    the 3G SSD would be the nearest match, as I'd alluded to previously. Even if
    the SSD has a slight bottleneck running through older SATA channels, it will
    still be substantially faster than the 5400-RPM or 7200 on the hard drive bus, &
    be quiet, also should use less power. However the big plus would be in that
    you could see a noticeable gain in speed, due to faster read-writes to SSD in
    the absence of more chip RAM.
    They also offer a second custom SSD install tray that replaces the optical drive
    and that would be a fair place for an SSD if you chose to put a 7200-RPM in the
    original HDD location; if you didn't afford or want to do both. OWC also offers
    replacement or upgrade optical drives, in case you like to have the original feature.

    What is the "Voxer"?
    If you set up the find my iphone feature on the iphone itself and it is on and it has not been restored, then you may be able to locate using icloud.com.
    Otherwise, it cannot be tracked.

  • Possible to Have Multiple Graphics Card Drivers Installed?

    Is it possible to have both the nVidia propritary, nVidia legacy, and ATI open-source drivers installed all at the same time, because I have set up a portable Arch Linux system, and I want to have want to have 3D acceleration on all of them.
    My computer has an Radeon X1300, and I'm using the open-source driver for it, and this one has a Riva TNT2 Model 64.  I think the comps in the tech lab also have nVidia cards, but newer.

    nvidia and nvidia-xxxx conflicts with eatch other, so no. As said, only the drivers that comes with X.org play along with eachother. Welcome to the beautiful world of closed software.
    You can have them both as packages an install 'em/uninstall 'em as needed...
    You could make a nice simple script to run at startup so you can choose which xorg.conf to use, you could easily have many and just symlink them to xorg.conf as needed... all you kneed to know is some bash scripting.
    I'd try and use a DAEMON aproach by creating and rc.d script, but you could try as you like

  • Is it possible to have jinitiator install silently from the OAS?

    When the client tries to start our 10g forms app for the first time, they are presented with the jinitiator install screens. Is there a way to set it up so it just installs silently or does browser security prevent that from happening?
    Now I have found several posts pointing to command lines with silent install options, but how does this get set up so it runs from the OAS?
    Thanks for any info.

  • Is it possible to purchase an ipod 4 that does not have a camera installed?

    Is it possible to purchase an iphone that does not have a camera installed?  Not allowed to have a camera at work.

    Alternatively you can disable the camera app through the restrictions.  This will remove the camera app and facetime app from the home screen, and will also prevent the camera from being used in third party apps.

  • I would like to install snow leopard instead of lion on latest macbook pro MD318 (oct.2011) Does anyone know if this is possible? If so, will I have to use install-disks of previous model (eg. MC721) or will retail-disks serve?

    Experiencing serious problems with lion, I would like to install snow leopard instead of lion on latest macbook pro MD318 (oct.2011) Does anyone know if this is possible? If so, please tell me how. Will I have to use install-disks of previous model (eg. MC721) ? Or will retail-disks serve?
    Thanks steph

    Snow Leopard is currently running on this MBP 15", late 2011 model, due to my need to run an old version of FileMaker.
    A retail disk with 10.6.3 did not work, I restored my previous Snow Leopard install with Disk Utility.
    However, it is not the shipped software and is not officially supported on this Mac. Therefore, your advice to troubleshoot Lion is the best option.

  • Is it possible to have 2 Mavericks on one machine

    I'm on 2009 Mac Pro. 12 gig memory OSX 10.9.5 I have recently purchased an ssd drive for this machine. The new drive is much smaller 240gig than the original HD it is to replace.
    Question 1....I am wondering if it is possible to have the original HD with Mavericks and the new ssd with Mavericks  both on the machine at the same time?
    It is only that the applications etc are so interwoven with the library etc and other stuff it is near impossible to install them and have them work on the new ssd. I have started taking stuff over to the new drive by switching back and forth and using a third drive in the machine as a carrier. Some have worked some have not.
    Question2.... Is it possible to take mavericks off  the HD and use the disk with just the applications and stuff the applications need. or temporaryly disable the OS on the HD (how would I do that if possible}  and change it with another drive in the machine. thanks for any help.... Tom

    Yes you can but Carbon Copy Cloner will happily do what you need.
    Install TRIM Enabler first.
    leave the drive as is, it will be your backup and safety net.
    I would get a new drive for your data.
    You could backup to TimeMachine and have a clone backup and then wipe the old drive.
    Your SSD will need a drive sled adapter usually, $14.
    Done every day for the last 6 years since SSDs came out. And discussed and asked here just as often.
    You just have to use a program to move the system to a new drive, great for working backups that will be bootable and should have been doing all along.

  • New ssd install in MBP 5,3 (mid 2009 model)

    Hello,
    New to ssd installing and terminology used in some of the discussion forums I have been reading!
    About to install my new ssd and have a few questions before starting.  (ssd is a crucial M500 480gb)
    I'll try to be a blunt as I can because I tend to ramble on.......
    1. Do I upgrade/downgrade efi? (Read in other discussions)
    2. Do I enable/disable trim? (Read in other discussions)
    3. I am currently running 10.6.8 and wanted to purchase the newest OS possible to install.  I've read of a few issues of ML and the battery drain issues.  Is it best to just stay with my 10.6.8 for now?
    4. I also purchased an 8gb ram upgrade over the current 4gb ram to do at the same time.  Don't I have to reset something once I power the MBP back up to recognize the ram?
    5. I purchased an external case to put the (currently in the computer) hdd in once I take it out.  I planned on installing the ssd, putting the current hdd in the case, and migrating only my contacts, iTunes library, iPhoto library, and my flip videos from it.  I have the original install disc from my MBP-can't I just install it onto the ssd from the DVD drive? (I hear of people installing the OS from USB-is there any disadvantage/advantage to this over my install disc?). I'm just wondering if it will give me the option of installing from the DVD drive once the ssd is installed and blank.  ??
    6. Is there anything else I should consider migrating to my new ssd?
    I think that's it.  Thanks!!

    This maybe too late, but here it goes:
    1. Do I upgrade/downgrade efi?
    - do not mess about with that. I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro and am running 2x SSD drives inside without a problem. Only look in to EFI upgrading if the Negotiated Link Speed in System Information (Under Sata) is not reported as 3 Gigabit but rather as 1.5, once you install the SSD
    2. Do I enable/disable trim? (Read in other discussions)
    - some people report advantage from trim being enabled. I've personally noticed lockups during shutdown so keep it off. Typical SSD these days have grabage collection, but it is up to you in the end of the day.
    3. I am currently running 10.6.8 and wanted to purchase the newest OS possible to install. 
    - don't purchase anything and download Mavericks for free, battery life will improve
    4. I also purchased an 8gb ram upgrade over the current 4gb ram to do at the same time.  Don't I have to reset something once I power the MBP back up to recognize the ram?
    - the mac will recognise the ram anyway. You should however rest SMC see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    5. I purchased an external case to put the (currently in the computer) hdd in once I take it out.  I planned on installing the ssd, putting the current hdd in the case, and migrating only my contacts, iTunes library, iPhoto library, and my flip videos from it.  I have the original install disc from my MBP-can't I just install it onto the ssd from the DVD drive? (I hear of people installing the OS from USB-is there any disadvantage/advantage to this over my install disc?). I'm just wondering if it will give me the option of installing from the DVD drive once the ssd is installed and blank.  ??
    - yes by inserting the Disk in to the optical drive and holding 'C' during startup wil take you to the boot options, where you can format the SSD drive and install the OS
    - advantage of OS on USB is faster install (quicker read speed) and for those people like me who substituted the optical drive for another HDD or SSD.
    6. Is there anything else I should consider migrating to my new ssd?
    - depending on your previous HDD size (and file sizes - looks like you have lots of photos and videos), make sure you watch what files you are bringing over as you can quickly run out of space on the SSD. You can use OmniDiskSweeper for example, to tell you wat files on your disk use the most space etc.
    Hope this helps. And I am sure someone else will come up withh more suggestions

  • Can I upgrade my 13" MBP to have an SSD?

    I have a mid 2012 13" MacBook Pro, and I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade this model to have an SSD?
    If so, can anyone say whatever it is worth replacing the harddrive, or just ditching the optical drive and adding an SSD alongside the old HDD? Also, what SSD`s work, and are there any certain SSD`s I should consider getting?
    Also, is it overal worth it? And while we are at it, what is the recommended amount of RAM?
    Would love a small performance boost to this thing after seeing what an SSD is capable of, so can anyone with experience say whatever it is worth it?
    Thanks

    Yes, it's possible to install an SSD. It is also possible to install an SSD in the optical drive bay. Visit OWC to find SSDs as well as the DataDoubler to install the SSD as a replacement for the optical drive.
    Maximum RAM for your model is 16 GBs. You find what you want and the cost, then you determine if you think the cost is justified for your needs.
    For your model get an SSD that is compatible with SATA III - 6.0 Gb/s interface.
