Is it possible to install a larger capacity HD?

I would really like the 11-inch MacBook Air due it it's small footprint, but is there any chance that I'd be able to purchase a bigger third party SSD and install it?
128 GB might be slightly on the small side for my needs.
thanks.

Is it possible to install a 160 GB Toshiba slim-fit HDD from an iPod Classic 2009 model into a iPod 5th Gen Late-2006 model that originally had a 30 GB Toshiba drive?

Is it possible to install a 160 GB Toshiba slim-fit HDD from an iPod Classic 2009 model into a iPod 5th Gen Late-2006 model that originally had a 30 GB Toshiba drive?
I have had my 30 GB iPod video for about 7 years, it was a gift and has served me well. Unfortunately it was in my pocket when I brushed up against a very powerful magnet which latched onto the unit and scrambled the hardware. Sad iPod icon.
I was told I probably need to replace the HD in order to get it back to working order. What I am wondering is, would I be able to replace it with a larger capacity drive so long as I got a unit that was slim enough to fit into the casing?

Have you tried resetting the PRAM? http://gigaom.com/2011/07/26/when-to-reset-your-macs-pram-and-smc/
Which Windows version are you trying to install? If I remember right, you can't use windows 8 on these older machines.
Other than that it's hard to say what could have gone wrong. I can only suggest going through the steps again carefully and making sure everything worked the way it should.
Have a look at this article too for a slighly more verbose instruction on making a drive bootable: http://www.instructables.com/id/Install-Windows-7-without-USB-or-DVD-without-upg ra/

What do I need to do to replace my 80 gig HDD with a larger capacity HDD?

I have an older Mac mini, running OSX 10.6.8 @ 1.83 GHz w/2 GB ram. It is used primarily for email, iPhone photo storage, and online banking. Works, but now I am out of memory. rather than buy a new unit, I'd prefer to replact the 80 GB HDD with a larger capacity drive. What do you recommend?

No such thing as a "PC hard drive". Im sure it comes formatted in MSDOS or otherwise, ...doesnt mean anything.
Ive got a 100 drives laying around here, most came formatted in DOS or Exfat or NTFS , just formatted all of them for Mac.
format the HD as Mac OSX extended journaled ,....takes 5 seconds.
CLONING:
1. grab carbon copy cloner or superDuper CLONE app.
2 attach target clone drive via USB in an enclosure or HD dock. Firstly format the target (external new) HD or SSD in disk utility in “Mac OS extended journaled”
3. clone internal HD to target HD or SSD (external) [takes about 40 mins depending on size]
4. Boot ONCE from external (go to sys. preference to boot from external) to TEST the new Clone
5. open bottom (see videos on ifixit or youtube on same) and remove old, install new.

http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Replacing+MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2012+Hard+ Drive/10378/1
Done
(FIRST TIME after installing, boot will be SLOW,...normal and ignore that).
Clone APPS
Superduper does not clone the recovery partition, but that is NOT necessary if you keep the original HD as a “backup clone”. Most don’t bother with the recovery partition in a clone, however that is your prerogative.

My 80 gb drive has about 1 gb available,
Sounds like an old drive there....... nice Hitachi or Toshiba 1TB external drive is average $70
Time for a new (additional) archive HD for data protection.

Is It Possible to Install Windows 7 on a GUID Partition Table Disk?

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a GPT disk?
I created a RAID 0 array on my dual Xeon 5580 system and tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit RTM. When I got to the "Where do you want to install Windows" part I used shift-F10 to open up a command window, then I used diskpart to create a GPT with the following partitions:
Disk 0 Part 1 - 102 MB EFI System
Disk 0 Part 2 - 128 MB MSR
Disk 0 Part 3 - 500 MB Primary
Disk 0 Part 4 - 7446 GB Primary
But there was a message "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3 (show details)" - clicking on "show details" gave me "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style."
What gives? I thought Windows Vista and beyond supported GPT.
The problem with MBR is that you can't have a file system larger than 2 TB.
Cheers, Eric

I am trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent edition onto system that has an ASUS M3A78 Pro motherboard with 8GB of memory & an AMD Phenom II x3 2.6GHz Socket AM3 Processor
(X3 710).
I realize that this system doesn't support UEFI but I have an Adaptec 3805 RAID controller in this system that does support the advanced format hard drives, so I would think I should
be OK there.
Attached to the RAID controller are 3 - 1.5TB SATA Hard Drives in a RAID 5 yeilding 2.72TB's of usable space.
I followed the following process to convert the array to GPT.
I booted to the Server 2008 R2 Ent installation DVD.
I select next at the language \ time & currency format \ Keyboard selection screen.
Then I select the 'repair your computer' option at the following screen.
I do not select the 'repair' (default) option, but instead select the radio button above it (I forget what that's labeled) working from memory here - which gives me the option to
launch a command prompt.
I launch diskaprt from that command prompt.
First I selected the disk
list disk (this displays the installed disks)
select disk 0
The I converted the disk to gpt
convert gpt
Then I created 200 MB EFI partition:
create partition
efi size=200
Then I created MSR
partition:
create partition
msr size=128
Then I created primary
partition:
create partition
primary
...and it took remaining
available space to itself.
I assigned drive
letter C to this new first "primary" partition
Assign letter=c
I confirmed the order is:
I confirmed the partition order is:
ESP > MSR > DATA Partition
After all of that I restart into the Windows installation and attempt to install by selecting the newly created primary partition and am presented with an error that states:
“Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3. (Show details)”
and the details show:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the gpt partition style."
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

How to install a larger boot drive

I have a mac pro 1.1 and am looking to install a larger boot drive without satrting over from scratch. In other words i want to migrate all info from current boot drive to a larger capacity b/c i have run out of space on the current boot drive. I would like to know the most effecient, stable and painless way to go about this process. Of course ensuring I retain ever bit of my data.

Either Disk Utility, or my choice would be Carbon Copy Cloner (it's free). Install your new drive in a spare sled, partition and erase it (use GUID format partition map) and clone with CCC. Make sure the drive is named something appropriate before you do this process (eg New Drive). Then reboot holding down the Option key, and Bob's your uncle.

Is it possible to install OBIEE(Siebel Analytics) & Hyperion on same machin

Hi All,
In my Stand alone system i am having win2003 server and WinXP with saperate Partitions in saperate drives (like C: & D:).
My requirement is to install Hyperion 11.1.1 Essbase and Planning in Win 2003 server and OBIEE(Siebel Analytics) 10x in WinXP.
IS it possible to install these two technologies on the same stand alone machine with saperate OS and saperate drives. My machine capacity is 1GB ram and 80gb harddisk and 2.4GHz processor.
Plz suggest me some thing regarding this doubt
Thanks inadvance

We will not use the two servers at the same time and this machine will not be used for any development,just for demo purpose. So we will use only one thing at one time for getting handson, that is why we are trying to install two things on the same machine
What we are exactly planning is C: drive which will have WIN 2003 server with 10g or sql server as database and .NET framework for HYPERION 11.1.1.. Essbase and planning installations.
and on the other side OBIEE is compatable for XP and need 10g database and JDK1.5.0 on other side in D: drive
In these two technologies Hyperion Installation are important to us and OBIEE is only if possible.This is the exact requirement and environment. Suggest me if anything is going wrong or we are planning over the limits
The machine is 1.5gb ram and 80gb harddisk and 2.4ghz processor.
Thanks in Advance

Possible to Install Logic 9 Content onto Another Drive?

I am using a small 60GB SSD drive, but I also have a larger drive inside the Mac. is it possible to install the additional content onto another drive? Otherwise I won't be able to use Logic 9 at all. Lame. :-(
Thanks in adva

I have the install DVD's but it only allows me to install the apple sound effects to the other drive. Believe it or not, I have now attempted to download it from the app store because it's smaller. I've seen some posts on YouTube about moving the files and I might try their techniques but I'm at a loss as to what to do.

Is it still possible to install firefox os in zte a21plus (Unagi)

I've tried to install firefox os on my zte a21plus. But got stuck.
I repeated all the process but I've got the same error. So is it still possible to install firefox os on my phone?

When I run ./flash.sh there is an error "image is too large try to run rm -rf out/target/product/uangi/data && ./build.sh" For my sorrow it is not helpful. The error message appears again. My phone is zte a21plus. It is rooted. Maybe I have to rebuild all the system, but I don't know how. At first build there was an error message that cmake not found. After I installed it and run ./build.sh again. But this didn't solve the problem.

Is it possible to install previous TRIAL versions of previous versions of Adobe Creative Cloud Software?

Look, I'm just testing the trial versions right now. Don't try to troubleshoot something that I don't ask; this is what I'm looking to accomplish:
Is it possible to install a trial version of any of the Adobe Creative Cloud software in a previous version? By that, I am referring to the following:
I want to install a trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014; NOT Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.1. If you notice, I want to reinstall a trial version of the previous release. Don't ask why, you'll just laugh for my stupid reason, but I'm merely wondering if it is possible. Creative Cloud now only offers trials of the newest versions, and I want to install trails of previous versions for my own, personal reasons. Is this possible to do with creative cloud, or must I do it some other way?
Is it also possible to obtain the physical installation files so that I won't have to always go through creative cloud to download them again (and then I can just set it up without being connected to the internet)?

By subscribing to Creative Cloud(Photoshop and Lightroom), does it come with more than one license, and is it possible to install it on both Windows and Apple(if it comes with two licenses)? Thank you.

By subscribing to Creative Cloud(Photoshop and Lightroom), does it come with more than one license, and if it does, is it possible to install on both Windows and Apple's OX? Thanks.

A Cloud subscription provides for installing working installations on two machines. You can have mixed operating systems (both Windows and Apple's OX).
