I am currently using Mavericks.

A hard drive replacement doesn't void warranty on a MacBook Pro, so you can replace the hard drive without worrying about its warranty. However, you have to be sure of what you are doing, because if you damage any part, you will void warranty.
First look for a hard drive. I recommend you to visit OWC for hard drives > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ 7200 rpm hard drives will give you extra performance.
Then, just reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718 Hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting, format the hard drive with Disk Utility and reinstall OS X or restore a Time Machine backup

  • My ipod touch is currently running ios 4.2.1 I would like to run ios 5 or 6. When I try to update it on itunes, it tells me my software is up to date. Is there another way to upgrade the IOS?

    My ipod touch is currently running ios 4.2.1 I would like to run ios 5 or 6. When I try to update it on itunes, it tells me my software is up to date. Is there another way to upgrade the IOS?  Do I have to go to Settings>General>reset>Erase all content and settings before I can get the newer ios?  If this is the case, how can I ensure all my content is backed up prior to erasing it all. Is there anyway to check to ensure the backup is complete and comprehensive?  THanks!

  • I have a 5 year old MacBook running OS X v10.5.8  Of course Apple does not provide an OS update and then other software apps won't update because the OS is obsolete. Is there a way of upgrading the hardware so the software can be made current?

    The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a early 2008 iMac supposedly limited to 4 GB and noticed an improvement.

  • Is there a way to upgrade the iOS software on a an IPod Touch 2.2.1?

    Is there a way to upgrade an IPod Touch 2.2.1 to iOS 4.0 software?

    Probably not since you may have a 1G ipod.  The 1G can only go to 3.1.3.  You can identify yur iPod here:

    If you have 1G you can get 3.1.3 by going here. You may have to use a different browser to get the sublink to work correctly.

    If you have a 2G you can go as high as 4.2.1.

  • Is there a way to have the download window not open when downloading attachments?

    Every time I download an attachment, the downloads window opens and it slows down the client. Is there a way to download the attachments, without having the download window open all the time?

    No it does not slow down anything, your anti virus scanning on the other hand is probably the real reason for the slowdown.

  • I'd love to get an imac but is there a way to upgrade the sound card?

    I love the new imac's.. but I would need to upgrade the sound card if I got one. I have a recording studio and i'm using a delta 1010 pci card that is compatible with macs.. I can't see how it would work with an imac.. I'm also a graphic artist and use a mac for all my graphics but it's an old g4 that isn't exactly up to the task of running my studio as well.. I'm sick and tired of my crappy pc giving me grief in the studio and an imac seems like the perfect and affordable price for me.. (i definately need an intel mac so i can run boot camp or parrallels to run a few programs that aren't available on a mac... **** you adobe audition)
    does any know if there's any way this will work or do i have to save my pennies for a g5 desktop? (i kinda hope not because it will take me a LONG time to do that)

    ahhh.. that's what i thought.. just was hoping I was wrong. Getting a new interface is NOT an option because I just got the system I have and am extremly happy with it... I used to work with a firepod but wasn't all that impressed... I like the 1010 because it gives me more options (mixing analogue and whatnot)
    thank you very much for the advice
    don't have one yet   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

  • Is there a way to upgrade the iOS software to 5 only by means of bypassing the automatic upgrade to 5.0.1?

    I believe that we all know the latest version of iOS now has an issue with regards to battery life. I proved it and tested it to my iPhone 4S. Few days ago, the battery life of my iPhone 4S, last for one week (almost) in a stand by mode without charging it. It's version running iOS 5. Upon upgrading it to iOS 5.0.1, I notice that every half an hour or less, it drains from 1% - 5%. But it stating that the upgrade purpose is for the battery issue so on and so forth. It's totally the reverse side.
    Now, my main concern is, I recently bought an iPad2 with running iOS 4.3.5. I really like the version or the iOS 5. Is there a way that I can just upgrade it to version 5 only? I don't like the iOS 5.0.1 which is the latest version because of what happend on my iPhone 4S. Is there a way too to downgrade it?
    Please help me and thanks in advance. 

  • I have a MB Pro early 2011 with SL. Is there a way to upgrade the graphic "drivers" without upgrade the entire OS?

    As the title says, I have a MacBook Pro with an Intel HD 3000, and I'm still using Snow Leopard (best OS ever). I tried upgrading to Mountain Lion, and I found out that there is a grafic enhancement. Is there a way to install ML "drivers" (or kext, if you prefer) on SL?
    Thanks in adavance. =)

    No as the drivers work between the OS and the hardware,  the OS has changed.
    Apple doesn't release the drivers anyway, nor does the dedicated graphic card makers for Apple.
    Your one of many who got snookered into a 13" MacBookPro with no dedicated graphics card I suspect.

  • Is there a way to make the current row not editable

    Hi, I'm using JDev 11.1.1.2
    In my usecase I have a Form , navigateable with next/previous , and for every row a I have a calculation which makes the row editable or not.
    For now I made it with disabled property on every input component set to some bean property which is calculated every time.
    My question is if there is some general way to make an Entity not updateable ?
    I tried with doDML() ... but the problem there is that this method is not called when switching the current row but rather when commiting. So the user can modified several rows and when pressing commit it will prevent some of the to be committed which would be confusing.
    Is there a method in the ViewObject that i can overwrite which is called every time the current row is changed? So I can see if the row was modified or not.
    Thanks, agruev

    Yes, there is always isAttributeUpdateable() in the ViewRowImpl, which you can override and enable/disable your attributes based on an enabling/disabling condition.
    Here is an example:
    public boolean isAttributeUpdateable(int i) {
    boolean updateable = false; /disable by default all arguments
    // enable, if your condition is met
    if ( meets_your_condition )
    updateable = super.isAttributeUpdateable(i); // let the framework decide based on your declarative settings
    return updateable; // return true/false indicator

  • Is there any way to have the page title NOT be the name of the HTML file

    You might want a page title to be say "Digital Media Academy." You don't however really want the html file to be called "Digital%20Media%20Academy.html" Windows web browsers often have problem opening pages with spaces in the file name. On the other hand you don't really want the page title to be "DigitalMediaAcademy" because that looks kind of dumb. Any way around this.

    The page is already not included in the nav bar, but
    where do you set the page name to be different from
    the file name? How can I set the name of the page,
    such as the name of this page is "Apple - Support -
    Discussions - Post Message:Reply," to be different
    from the file name?
    I think I probably misunderstood your question. You want the html "title," which appears at the top of a browser, to be independent of the name of the html file, right? I don't think that is possible in this version without manually editing the html after publishing. iWeb uses the page name given in the inspector for both the navigation bar link and the file name, replacing spaces by %20 in the latter because web servers don't allow spaces in file names.

  • Are there any ways to upgrade the graphics card on a sony vaio laptop?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Pretty much if you have to ask, the answer is no.
    For those laptops that allow it (and "Sony Vaio" isn't specific enough to determine this, an exact model number and current configuration would be needed.), it's usually a difficult and expensive procedure that WILL void your warranty (unlike desktop video card upgrades).
    If it has Intel GMA graphics, 100% are non-upgradeable.
    If it has discrete graphics (ATI or NVidia), there's a slight chance but it's getting more and more rare.  In general, if multiple video card options were offered at purchase time for a system, it is possible to upgrade from the lower options to higher ones at a later date for significant expense.  The exception being systems that offered Intel GMA or other options - the GMA-based systems usually use a different motherboard than the other options (This was the case with the Dell E1705 series.)

  • Is there a way to clear the app stores "Not on this iphone" list of previously downloaded apps?

    with the new update there is a way to download all your old apps. however my list is immensly long, and i am looking for a way to clear or reset the list.
    the list im referring to is on my iphone 4, in the app store, under the tab "Updates" and "Not on this Iphone" alot of these apps are old or i have no interest ever downloading again and would prefer to not have them showing

    There are many threads that have recently been posted addressing this matter. Currently iTunes and iOS displays all Apps ever downloaded  and you can't control which ones you would like to delete from that list permanently and which you would like to keep in the Cloud, so to speak.

  • Is there a way to fix the "carging is not supported with this accessory" warning when I plug my ipod touch into my laptop?

    It's been working fine up til now, but the other day it began coming up as a warning. It also won't let me play music for very long before connectingand disconnecting my ipod multiple times....It's never had this issue before, so I have no idea what's going on.
    I assume it has something to do with the update that I need to run on my ipod touch, but it says that it will erase everything on my ipod when I do it....and I don't have everything in my itunes library because I've had to start over fresh a few times...So I'm really scared of doing this update, but I feel like my ipod needs it...

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Restor from backup
    - Restoe to factory defaults/new iPod.
    You can also look at the previous discussion on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This" with yuor same poblem.
