PLEASE HELP - Hard Disk for iBook G4

This ibook g4 1.33ghz, mid 2005, abit different from the earlier batch.
I took it to service centre for repairs, and logic board is spoilt so they extracted the HDD for me. I found recently about the fix of logic board. So, I decided to give it a try.
When opened up, I realised that it is abit different from those posted online. The HDD does not have a latch and I could not push it into the connected at all.
Is it supposed to be tighted by the screws on the side and that's it?
Tried to search online but seems like the HDD slot is different.
Can anyone please help me on this??
Thank you!

I found this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106464, which is very helpful, but only for 10.3. Is there any similar article for 10.4???????????????

Replacement Hard disk for Portege P2010 - Part number required

Can anyone tell me what the part number is for a replacement Hard disk for Portege P2010 is? It has the latest BIOS installed, can the HDD capacity be higher than the original 30gig?
Thanks
Martin

Hi
Like Ivan said, there are no officials documents about a max size of a HDD.
I assume that you can use a 40 GB HDD but Im not 100% sure if the bigger HDDs will work.
Please check this link:

There you will find a 40GB HDD for Protg 2010.

Separate hard disk for the appliance?

Hi!
"Create a separate VMware hard disk for the appliance. This is the location where you will store your iPrint files.". Optional. Ok, I understand purpose for separate hard disk for Filr - user files etc., but what purpose does it serve here, with iPrint Appliance? Because, for backup is suggested to create a file and during new appliance install load it. Meaning, iPrint Appliance is probably ok to install in one? Probably is ok to keep all these files in ... general location? Or not? Didn't find anything of this optional disk in backup/restore, either.
Probably I missed something.
More thanks, Alar.

Ah, I see. Well I've not tried attaching a second disk at all to the
iPrint appliance so I'm not sure of the affects of adding one or
attempting to detach the second disk. Before detaching, take a look at
where it's mounted. I'm assuming it would still be mounted as
/vastorage, and if so look to see what if anything is stored there. If
it's truly empty then you could likely detach it as long as you also
remove the associated line in /etc/fstab which mounts the second disk.
If you see any files in that location, though, then you'd likely need
to redeploy the appliance from scratch making sure to not attach a
second disk during deployment.

I want my AVI files from Hard disk for FMLE

Is it possible to get AVI files from my Hard disk for FMLE if yes How..?
Thanks in advance

Not sure what you mean but if you want to use FMLE to stream video from your harddrive I think you also need Camtwist or Wirecast for that. I use Camtwist and FMLE for that. If you for example stream to Justin.tv remember to mute the sound on your channel there or you get a strange loop. It´s kind of tricky to set up a good stereosound for broadcasting and I use two soundcards and a small cheap Behringer mixer for that.
I think it´s possible to play them back from another computer too if the videocard on that computer have some sort of video out port you can hook up to your capture card on your broadcasting computer. You ´d need a capturecard that FMLE recognizes.
You can also just burn a DVD and play it back from an ordinary external DVD player that you hook up to your capturecard. Even works with a VCR if you have one and can get the files over to tape. But as I said you need a good capturecard that FMLE recognizes.

Fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac?

What is the fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac (I believe it is currently not possible to use Esata on the Imac).

For DVCam. HDV etc, I'm a fan of the G-raid drives. From personal experience they
are very solid performers. I only had one issue with a new drive that was replaced
next day. They are not the cheapest drives to be found but the build quality
is excellent. Check out:

Where could I buy a new hard disk for my macbook pro 15''(MB986CH/A)

Does anyone know where I could buy a new hard disk for my macbook pro 15''(MB986CH/A) (mid 2009)? The hard drives sold in Apple Store are not for macbook pro... Thanks a lot!

At one time Apple use to put an Apple firmware on the drives installed into Mac computer. That is not the case anymore. And even if they did that firmware was just to indentify the drive as an Apple drive. Those same drives would work in any computer and any drive would work in a Mac computer. Same is true today. There are NO Apple Mac drives. Apple uses the exact same drives as any other computer.
Apple uses the exact same hardware as all other computers. Same CPU, GPU, RAM, Drives, DVD drives you name it, it is the same as any PC.
Good Luck but just because you go to a Mac-centric store doesn't mean it is any different then what you would buy some place else, other then it may cost more from one of those Mac-centric places.

HT201250 if I used external hard disk for backup time machine, is it possible to use that external hard disk to save another else from diffrent computers?

If I used external hard disk for back up time machine, is it possible to use that external hard disk to save another else from diffrent computers?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can do this, but you should make a new volume on your external disk. Time Machine needs a volume that is only used to store backups, so you can't store other data in the same volume as the one you are using for making backups.
If you want to create another volume on your external disk, use Disk Utility to do this > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html Anyway, you should get another external disk to store other files, but if you don't want to, you can create another volume in it

Format a windows hard disk for mac

Hi,
I am trying to format an external windows hard disk for use with my new Mac. I am using Disk Utility. The disk was NTFS formatted, I erased it into HFS+ (mentioning that the operation was done in less than a minute). I tried this many times but it still took the same time. Does not formatting a disk take a long time? Or this is the way it is done in Lion.
Thank you. (New to Mac)

Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.app (in Mac OS). Open the app.
Select the disk (choose 'erase' if it its formatted already), and format as 'Mac OS extended (journaled). Click 'format' (or 'erase', depending on which option you are given).

Recommended external hard disks for macbook??

Hey all,
I am in need of an external hard disk for my macbook, preferably one of decent size cause I wil be traveling in Europe from Sept to Dec. I was looking at the smart disk one.... ideas on what ones to look at and where to buy?
thanks!
erik

I heartily recommend the Mercury drives from OWC. They are small, bus powered and very reliable due to the use of the Oxford chipset.
If you do not mind carrying around a power adapter, then the Mercury Elite Pro drives found HERE come pre-configured up to 500GB and if you want you can buy the enclosure only and add a 750GB drive.
That's a lot of storage!

Best 1TB hard disk for G5 Dual 2.7

I need to replace the original 230gb drive that came with my Mac, what's a good, fast 1TB hard disk for a G5 Dual 2.7?

The newer WD Green models don't have the problems, TimeMachine does though. And the G5 is another 'factor.' But many Mac Pro owners use them standard and in software RAID (mirror and stripe too).
Yes Black is more popular and reliable, runs warm 41*C but any enterprise WD or Hitachi would be my picks. I've got a couple dozen WD Black, Green, Raptor, VelociRaptors all going srong for years and years. But would I use WD MyBook etc? never.
A popular setup is a fast boot drive - I'd say the 640GB WD Black but that seems to be EOL'd now - and a 1-2TB drive for media and data.
Some are even venturing into SSD territory though without SATA II that may not make a lot of sense.
