New here, but with something that's a little bit old.

Hi there, I'm SChief. My real name is Sanjeev. The reason why I've registered myself here is because a friend of mine gave me an old laptop (he didn't need it anymore). Don't panic, but it's a oldschool Tecra 8100. Normally I wouldn't pay any attention to such a old laptop, but this one is in mint condition. It has only be used for 80 days (eighty!), which is like ehm, nothing for a business laptop back in the day. The chassis is like new and it only has a few minor scratches which you don't even see when you're not looking for it. So because it's in a great condition, I would like to give it a nice second life. While I was searching for some information about this laptop, Google sends me 9 out of 10 times to this forum, which has a lot of useful information.
So, I wanted to start with a little hard drive upgrade. I have a Toshiba MK4026GAX (40GB, 4200RPM) sitting here on my desk, and I would like to put this one in my Tecra. So I removed the old 10GB HDD, disconnected it from the case, attached the case to the 40GB HDD, and pushed it back into the laptop. All good so far. But the misery starts now. When I turn the laptop on, the Tecra doesn't see the HDD. I'm completely hopeless, because I really don't know what to do (it already has the newest BIOS)... I'm sure that the 40GB HDD is alright, because I've removed it from a laptop that was still working. I hope that someone here has some more information for me.
I also noticed that finding memory is kinda hard for this laptop. It seems that the Tecra only accepts the Kingston KTT-SO100/256, and it's impossible to find a set of these (and if you've finally found a shop, the prices are sky high). I've mailed Toshiba Netherlands (I live in the Netherlands), and asked if they had some old stock. Unfortunately, they did not.
Maybe it's smarter to open a new topic in the right sub-forum for these questions, but for now, I'll see what happens. Forgive me for my long story and my bad English by the way.

But what can I cut and paste? the html code or image and text directly?
depend on which template you used.
if you use iweb photos page template then you need to search for my photos page solutions in this forum.
@ot: cut and paste from the online version
@rw: You can drag an image from the website to the Desktop

Hi...
My name is Turgay and have been using computer since 1982... 2 years ago, because of my friend's advice, i bought an iMac... It was the first Mac that i use... Till that, i was using normal PC's...
I bought an 24" iMac on July 2009 and started to use... I realized that i spent my 27 years for using (fixing) computers. Because the Mac was perfect. After iMac, i was really fine with my computer... But after something, that doesn't bother me, happened. The screen started to get cloudy and black... And it increased. Because of this i took my iMac to your authorised distributor http://www.bilkom.com.tr...
They changed my screen but in 2 months it happened 3 times and i wanted them to change my iMac with new one, under customer laws... In our country, the device must be changed with new one if the same problem occurs in 3 months. Because i know the customer satisfaction of Apple, i didn' worry about it but Bilkom refused my will... I spoke with them for 2 months but nothing happened, they just told me, it' not our problem.
Because of this speech, i sued them on June 2011... Last week, i won the case but just for the return of invoince... It costs 3.200 Turkish Liras (1.800$) and there's no 24" iMac unused... Bilkom again refused to give me an iMac... I thought that Apple's customer satisfaction can't be like this... I didn't write anything to Apple till now but if i can't get an iMac, i must return to normal PC after 2 years... And i don't want that... I offered an iMac 27" with core i7... No matter Bilkom accepts or not, they don't care of me... I'm a customer, they should do... I've never seen such a like company. I hope the real Apple will help my problem and save me from Bilkom...
Waiting for your reply... Thanks and regards...

Unfortunately, you are not communicating with Apple here - we are all other users volunteering our time to help with technical problems.
Here is a list of Apple contacts; there is no email address - you will need to write a letter to their corporate headquarters or call them:

Although, it appears that your problem is with a third party store and that you have won in court - did you get your money back? 24" iMacs have not been made since 2009 or 2010. Now there are 21" and 27" iMacs.

I see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder

i see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder. I see that it means that it isn't reading the new hard drive.
did i miss a step between transferring all of my information from my old hard drive to the new hard drive and installing the new hard drive into the computer. I believe that i installed properly. it was quite easy.
thanks for your help

It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.

Hi new here but need advise please

hello i am new here but my iphone is a real problem, i try to connect it to itunes and it comes up with this sim is not compatable been sent off and repaired but when got it back it does the same thing any ideas would be greatful very upset that it still doing the same thing it has been sent off to repair again

Hello, welcome to apple support community! Your problem I'd very odd and im sure it is very rare, I'm not very sure what a good solution might be. Maybe you can consult the nearest Apple Store or call apple technical support. If it is a problem with ur iPhone than apple can fix it. If nothing works I think u Gould change carriers that fully support the iPhone.

Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here.
Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly when creating the account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) ? e.g. if doing it on your phone and you are currently logged into an account then log out of it, find a free app in the app store app, tap on its free price button, tap 'install app', and then tap on 'create new apple id' on the popup that you get. I tried those instructions on my phone a few days ago in response to another thread and I got the 'none' option on the payments screen.

I'm trying to retrieve contacts from iCloud on my new samsung but it says that there is no back up data in my account

I'm trying to retrieve contacts from iCloud on my new samsung but it says that there is no back up data in my account

If your contacts are on icloud.com, download them as a vCard as explained here: iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard. Then import them to your phone as explained in your manual. If you aren't able to, you can create a Gmail account and import the vCard to Gmail as explained here: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/183711?hl=en, then add the Gmail account to your phone and sync your contacts from Gmail.
If they aren't on icloud.com, I'm not sure how you would access them from a backup on a Samsung, even if there was a backup.

We have had to change to a new router but the Macbook Pro still reverts to the old router. How can this new one be made the default?

We have had to change to a new router but the Macbook Pro still reverts to the old one. How can we lose this and make the new router the default?

Go to "Network" under system preferences and choose "advanced"
On the Wi-Fi tab you can sort the sequence of the preferred connections.
Then just move your new router to the top of the list.

Currently my daughter and I use 1 apple id. Is there a way to set her up on a new id but with the same itunes library

Hi. My daughter and I share 1 apple id (username and password). How do I set her up with her own apple id and password on her mac but she keeps all the songs from the itunes library?

Make copy of the current library, and copy it to her new Mac. Once it is there, she can delete whatever she doesn't want (i.e. your stuff).
Start the new account, and she can use it to buy stuff going forward.

Sorry - I'm new here but this is getting out of hand. How do you sort through 200 pages of uncategorized messages?

Since it's impossible to find anything with 100 separate posts on the same subject and no decent search tools, this will get way out of control, because people will just make a new post on something that may have already been addressed elsewhere. RIMM?

Yes it can get a bit annoying but there is not much that can be done about. Use the search tool and just go page by page and quick look. You could tell a Moderator and give them your feedback and that the forums need to be more organized but still might be out of there hands.

I recently got a new iPhone, I backed up all my info on iCloud, I wAs able to get all my info on my new iPhone but now it's saying that there is no more iCloud space, what do I do

Either purchase additional iCloud space or turn off iCloud backup and backup you new phone with a computer running iTunes.

New here, but with something that's a little bit old.
