Problems with hdd, new one ?

I seem to be having some problems with my current hdd, and i was wondering if I was better off just buying a new hdd all together. It doesn't want to 'unmount' or format. I called certain Apple service centers and their diagnostics fee is $90 - About how much a new hard drive would be on it's own. Can anyone help or give feedback?

Are you talking about your internal HDD?
If so, how are you trying to unmount or reformat?
It's tough to do it to the startup disk, right?
ETA: You might just need to run Disk Utility on it - what OS are you using?

  • I created one apple I'd when I started using the iPad.  After some days, I had to create a new apple I'd as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple I'd is appearing.  Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.

    as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple Id is appearing.  Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.

    Anything you downloaded with the first Apple Id will forever be tied to it, and will always require it to update.
    The question here is, why did you think you needed to create a new Apple ID? What was the problem with the first one?
    To get rid of th old one, you'll need to delete everything you downloaded with it, and then sign out of the ID in several places around the iPad. 
    Go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Sign out.
    Repeat the process, for Facetime, Messages, Mail and any other App you need to sign out of.

    I have a MacBook Pro that I bought almost a year ago, next day problems with the hard disc that could not be diagnosed by the service, after 3 months they realized it and changed it with a new one, after 3-4 months heated and shut down by itself and dont work anymore. From apple say even a year has not passed it is not under garancy and I should pay to fix it without ans issue.

    Here's what others have done successfully to work around that problem: In your Web browser, go to Photoshop.com and log in.  You should be asked to accept the Terms Of Use.  Once you have, then you won't have any issue with accessing Photoshop.com from PSE.

  • Help needed, possible problem with HDD

    In the last few weeks, my iMac has become quite slow and tends to freeze fairly often. The other day I turned it on and was met with a kernel panic screen and could not access my desktop or any of my files. To find the source of the problem I ran an Apple Hardware Test which gave me the following error:
    4HDD/11/40000004:SATA (0,0)
    After searching on the internet, I decided to boot from my OSX install disc and run Disk Utility. After verifying the disc, and repairing the disc, the scan revealed that there was no problem with the HDD. However, I was still being met with the kernel panic screen whenever I tried to turn on the computer.
    After booting from the install disc again, I did an Archive and Install, which finally let me get to my desktop, however the computer was once again running slowly and after another Apple Hardware Test it resulted in the same error as above.
    After more searching on the internet, I decided to remove the 3rd party RAM from my iMac and replace it with the original RAM. No success again.
    More searching brought Disk Warrior to my attention. After purchasing the program, I ran the included scans and once again was given the result that there was nothing wrong with the HDD.
    After this I decided to run Tech Tools Deluxe which came up with a Directory fail, even though the Disk Utility and Disk Warrior scans found no such problem.
    So what procedure can I take now, I am hesitant to perform a System Restore as I do not want to lose my files, but this may be my only option.
    Please help.

    Okay, I ended up installing OSX to my external HD and booted from that. Ran Disk Warrior from the external and used it to rebuild the internal HD. After the rebuild DW gave me the message that it could not replace the new directory with the old directory as there was a disk malfunction. I managed to copy all of my important data to the external.
    I'm guessing that the internal needs to be replaced? I'd rather start fresh with a new one than risk this happening again anyways.
    In any case thank you very much for your help, it was much appreciated .

    There certainly is a problem with itunes. I downloaded 9.2 and now it won't open. It won't recognize my iphone, either. I uninstalled it in the order recommended by the site, no joy. Deleted a configuration file, no joy. System Restore, no joy. All other software and hardware on the machine is working fine. I call AppleCare AND a local store, either they are completely clueless (which I doubt), or they have no idea how to fix it. I can't even back up my phone, or use the ipod. And since no one at Apple seems to care enough, I'll have to wait until the clamor is loud enough for them to even admit to a problem before I can use the ipod again.

  • Problems with the new Pages.

    Hi everyone.
    I wonder if i am the only one experiencing a little problem with the new Pages?
    My problem is that every other time i want to correct the font lets say trying to underline or make the font fatter using the hotkeys "Command+B" or "Command+U" or "Command+I", or even changing it manually in "formats" my font gets stuck, and i have to copy-paste text from another pages-file into my old one to get et back to normal.
    Anyone else tried this?
    Martin.

  • Problem with the new server UCS C220 for set IP to CIMC

    Hi
    We’ve a problem with the new server UCS C220.
    We bought two servers UCS C220 M3 for CallManager 8.6 with High Availability.
    When we turn on the server during the boot and when it tells us, oppress F8 to enter at the CIMC and set the IP. But it never enters at the CIMC.
    Then, we configure our DHCP server and our switch, we connect the three gigabyte ports to our switch to give him an IP to the CIMC, so and then can enter via browser, but neither works.
    Note. The dedicated management NIC does not link, the other two ports do make link.
    What do you suggest to put an IP to CIMC and start installing our applications?
    regards

    You may have noticed that there is no DVD rom on the c220. What you need to do is:
    Login into the CIMC from your browser
    Luanch the KVM
    Insert the VMware DVD in your machines drive
    On the KVM pop up there should be a tab to mount the drive, after mounting it click on Macros and choose ctrl_alt+delete to restart.
    After the VMware OS installs press F2 to enter IP.
    Browse to the VMware ip to download the Vsphere client
    Open the Vsphere client, enter the ip of the vmware and the username will be root and no password if you did not set one.
    You can now upload OVA templates or manually create virtua machine from this enviroment.
    Hope this help

    Google Apps users, please follow the default instructions unless otherwise noted, replacing 'your_domain.com' with your actual domain2 name.
    this is all greek to me. WHAT IS STARTTLS? On the first page of Apple set up there is a TLS certificate and it is marked NONE- should I change it to the long APPLE CERT option?  The next page under ADVANCED: THERE IS A BOX SSL MARKED.  Then IMAP Path Prefix - I put stmp.gmail.com.. is that right?  Port 993 can  use this one? as 456 doesn't work and 587 said it wasn't safe.  Under AUTHENTICATION I used PASSWORD.  Should I have used external client cert TLS?
    Please help me set this up securely. Thanks

  • Can I replace my current iPhone 5s with a new one in this case?

    I just got my iPhone 5s two days ago, but it already has problems when I was trying to text with it while charging. The phone was doing all these random things like mis-sensed my typing really badly, jumping out to the main screen and even called the person I was texting. I even tried typing messages in Whatsapp, it constantly hides the keyboard from time to time and that's really irritating. While it's on lock screen, I could not slide to unlock it, I had to use my finger scan to access my phone in the end. The phone went normal again once I got the charge unplugged, but it went crazy again once I got it plugged in. I truely believe it's something wrong with the phone rather than the charger. Can I replace my current phone with a new one in this case?

    Take it back. This is a warranty/purchase issue. We are just users here.
