Taking apart an older model Velociraptor.

Hi all,
I'm trying to take off the heat sink of the older style Velociraptors, the GLFS. I'm going to put two in a Mac Pro via Maxupgrade sleds. I can't figure out a way to do this carefully, I'm not really sure which screws to turn, and the screws (hexes) I see to turn seem like they will strip before turning.
Does anyone have experience in this area that they could share with me regarding this? I don't want to destroy these drives.
Thanks,
Steve

once the dust settles
Ooh, that might take a bit, perhaps by days end maybe. Depends on how much I linger in pleasant bewilderment. Have to say, it really feels like I got a new Mac, as in I haven't figured it all out yet.
My clone wouldn't start it, just a gray screen. The clone I really wanted to start from, on the 150HLFS, well, that disk has not wanted to fit yet. That's a bit of a mystery that I need todays good daylight to tackle. I put in the WD640 last night instead, which has my other clone, Time Machine, and, gulp, 10.4 on it. The MaxUpgrade sleds worked like a charm, I have two 300gb VRs up and running.
But I wasted a lot of time trying to put a fresh, from my new dvds, system on one, and them (yep, tried to stripe the two together for fun). Do I hear someone in the audience saying "format scheme"? As in some Intelish-hellish format scheme? Perhaps I do, I'm still somewhat befogged.
Migration Assistant was out helping other people yesterday, I got few benefits from it. Well, it remembered my Mail settings, which is more than I had the intelligence to write down or remember.
Otherwise, transferring over the account from the Quad made a sick puppy of an account on this Mac.
The most I accomplished at days end was using Superduper (downloaded fresh from the net) to clone this Macs original drive to one of the VRs. I didn't expect that to work either, but it did. I like that program more and more.
So today's endeavors will be, one, installing a fresh new system on one of my drives, minus the gunk.
Two, resurrecting one of my clones to work.
Three, go back inside the Mac again, find the power connector I need for my Sonnet card and get the rest of my drives online. And while there, try to figure out why the 150VR didn't fit.
So far, even though in my egotistical mind I thought I would have everything set up and ready to go in a half hour or less, there's a sweet-sour misery I'm feeling that I'm enjoying very much.
I haven't taken PS4 or AE3 for a spin yet. Those are pleasures I'm waiting on. As far as games though, well, do I embarrass myself by admitting that Star Wars Battlefront is a favorite? It's so darn pretty. Too bad, even though I saw on a list that it was playable on an IntelMac, it doesn't play on mine. Shouldn't Rosetta be helping me out a bit? Where is she, I want to talk to her supervisor.

How can I connect to an older model TV?

I have a 13'' MacBook Pro version 10.8.2 (Early 2011). I am a teacher and I am hoping to connect my computer to the older model Tv that is in my classroom, It is one of those dinosaurs that weighs a ton. It does have the Red, Yellow, and white things to plug into it. I have a HDMI adapter for my HD TV at home and the results are fabulous, I just don't know how to get the same results in my classroom! If that won't work, does anyone else have other ideas!! Thank you so much for your help!!!

The RED, YELLOW, and WHITE connectors are probably round audio RCA connections. For video, the TV should have a separate connector, possibly like this:

If you have a manual for the TV, look to see what inputs is has. Without specific information, it is next to impossible to give sound advice.
Ciao.

Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

Is it possible to use an older model Dell printer (wired) with a HP wireless laptop?

I am using an HP Pavillion laptop computer with Windows 7 at home. I am connected to a wireless printer (Canon 3 in 1). I have to leave town & go to my aunt's house in another city. She has no computer setup at her house, but we have wireless router there so I can use my laptop.
Can I take my old Dell printer (which I used when I had a desktop), plug it into my laptop (I assume I'll have to also install printer) & use it there (without it being wireless, etc.?). The ink should still be viable but it has been several months since I've used it. I need to know if it would be worthwhile to take my old printer with me & be able to set it up & use it. If so, is it possible to use a laptop (I use wireless at my aunt's house) with a hard-wired printer? And would it be hard to set up?
Bottom line is, I'm selling stuff on Ebay this week, I have to make an emergency trip to help family, & will probably have to lug items (and print out shipping labels) while I'm there. I thought it might be useful to have in the long run a printer (albeit an older model) that I can use while helping out family in another city.
I'm sure I'm leaving out some info but if you think you need more to answer my question, let me know.... thank you in advance.
This question was solved.

If I read this right, you can install your wired printer right now and test it out. Then go on your trip and just plug in back into your computer and it will work just fine.

My old school iPod touch won't update. Does apple mess it's customers over by not allowing updates for older models of the touch? My last update is Ios5. My touch says its up to date. So has my old school touch reached its pinnacle?

Correct. The 3G iPod does not have the hardware to support an iOS version higher than 5.1.1
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was releases, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Hi Perilman,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that all of your iTunes media is on an external hard drive and you would like to move that media onto your new Windows computer hard drive. The following article has step by step instructions for this specifically. Part 5 in the External drive section is probably what is going to be most relevant to you.

Hello Everyone,
I have a MacBook older model with me.I am running 10.7.6 on that, I was trying to use BootCamp to install windows on my mac. Since BootCamp can only work on a single Volume, I partitioned my Hard Disk to one volume.
Using BootCamp I installed windows and everything worked fine. After installing windows and testing everything, I switched back to OS X and this time I tried to make another partition on my single portioned Mac volume and named it Backup. That too worked. Now I have three Volumes
1)Development2)Backup3)BootCamp.
Next when I switched to Windows, It should the classic error, No Bootable device found, please insert a Bootable CD and press any key. When I tried to enter my Mac OS X install DVD and by pressing option key, it does not show me the proper Mac OS X development volume. It keeps going back to the No bootable device found message.
Any help will be much appreciated
Regards
Mithun

you can't add a partition in between - you put Windows to a new partition number.
GPT (GUID)
EFI
Mac HFS
Lion Recovery
Windows
And now you have two HFS
One partition and one Windows (plus Lion Recovery).
If you were to have more, it can't be before Windows for one thing.

I have a MacBook Pro , Model Identifier MacBook Pro8,2 , MAC OX S 10.7.4
I noticed that if I open Final Cut Projects created on other/older models MacBook Pro Laptops or MacPro Desktops, the fonts used in the previously created FCP projects, change their font spacing! which distorts the look of the Text that was written, by oevrlapping on other things that were put & present on the screen.. Another similar probelm is that the Vector shaped used for example to highlight certain words or shapes, also change their position on the screen so that they no longer highlight exact things that we once used these vectors to highlight or outline... Anyone knows how to solve this problem please?? I made sure that the same fonts are available in the Library in both old and newer computers...
thanks in advance..

You might want to take your question to the FCP forum - if you copied all fonts to your Library>Fonts folder and restarted they should be recognized by all applications. I know that this works for Adobe products, anyway.

I have an older model of the ipod shuffle, we forgot the itunes login and pass so we created a new one. My question is how do we transfer that music that is on the shuffle to the computer? It will not let me do anything... The music titles are all dulled out, the only thing i can do is listen to them but I cannot do anything else.
Please help thanks!

You do not. Content is permanently tied to the Apple ID that it was acquired with.
Sign out of the computer with the new Apple ID. STOP using the new Apple ID.
Sign in with the original Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

I have an older model Mac Pro that isn't WIFI: how do I update it?

I have an older model of Mac Pro — the MacPro 1,1 — that isn’t wifi capable.a wifi network.
How do I update it to a connect it wirelessly to my router?
Would a PCIe card work?   If so, what would be the best sort?Should I, instead, get the relevant Airport base station?
Any help would be appreciated

Since the early Intel-based Mac Pro tower was available in a heavily customized version
with many extras as a BTO, and also lesser optioned models, the parts may be harder
to come by now after this passage of time, than when the MacPro1.1 first arrived.
Wi-Fi:    Optional AirPort Extreme card (802.11a/b/g/n)
Bluetooth:    Optional Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
Modem:    Optional Apple USB Modem (MA034Z/A)
Fibre Channel: Optional (MA462G/A, MA465G/A)
Internal RAID:   Optional Mac Pro RAID Card with 256 MB cache & 72-hour cache battery backup
An internal Wi-Fi or BT component likely had an external antenna such as the last model
PowerMac G5 with a similar all-metal aluminum case, as that does resist radio waves...
The answer for issues with last model PPC G5 aluminum, was an external antenna.
Not sure what model or part numbers were involved in any of the BTO or dealer installed options.
So if you use an expansion card idea, note the metal case of the early MacPro may block it.
You could use an Apple Express, and use it via Ethernet cable, to extend a network to MacPro.
PS: The two linked PCI card adapters are not familiar to me, nor are the complexities of this
series of early MacPro; other than they do have similar issues with wireless due to metal case.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can you swap out the logicboard of an older model mac for a newer one?

So i just bought a mac on ebay, its in good working condition, however i was wondering if i was able to swap out an older model logicboard for a new one. The mac i currently have is a unibody mac, MB466LL/A, and the logic board i was looking to possible switch it out with would be the (Logic Board 661-6158 820-2936-B.) Let me know if this is possible. Work on computers often and have built many pc's so that aspect will not be a problem, im just wondering if this request is feasible.

Yes, its possible.
Step one: Buy a second, fully working MacBook of the model you want.
Step two: Sell the first MacBook you bought.

PC Suite for older models

Does anyone else think that the latest version of PC Suite intentionally does not support older models (even though they are listed) cos they think people will be frustrated and end up upgrading their phone rather then trying to uninstall, find an older version and reinstall that. I have a 6020 which worked perfectly with version 6.6.16 but refuses to work over IrDA with the latest version (windows has no problems sending files so there is nothing wring with the hardware)

When did these problems started?
I would suggest a restart, hold your phone power button for 8-10 seconds and lets it power down till you feel the three vibrations, then turn it back on see what happens, if still facing the problem, I suggest to backup your files and then do a hard reset?

HT1476 Help!!! Please!!! iPod touch 8gb w/camera (older model) won't charge :(

Have an older model iPod touch 8gb w/camera that will not charge. I know it's not the cord or the device we are using to charge it because ithas been working to charge it before and it charges all our other ipod devices.
An example of what it does.The battery will show that it needs to be charged in the upper right corner, it'll be red. So we will plug the iPod in to charge. Even if it's plugged in all night long, it doesn't charge. The green battery icon that used to be on the screen when it was plugged in, no longer shows up. Also, the battery icon in the upper right corner doesn't change from red and doesn't show it's plugged in. I have tried to holdoing down the power and home button to reset the device. I'm not sure what else to try. Are there places to take your iPod for repair or should I contact apple? HELP!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

- See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I install latest update from my ipad 2, after the upgrade tablet running slowly. Probably the system requirements too high for my device. I think that users with older models should be able to install IOS 6.x.x on their devices or consider buying devices from other manufacturers ...
People are dissatisfied with the new update a lot, including some of my friends and acquaintances. Is it reasonable to wait until Apple implements the possibility to return to Ios Ios 6 to 7? And how soon it can be done?
Sorry for my english, i am from Russia.

I have a similar issue. I recently purchased an iPad Mini, and I started off by backing it up from the apps I had on my iPhone. Now, I have a number of apps that never downloaded and that I don't want on the iPad. Some of these are apps that I don't need, while others are the iPhone versions of apps. There are something like 23 apps that I have no use for, but iTunes tries to install every time I connect. I've also tried clicking the 'Will Install' buttons. There's no way to delete these apps from the iPad without first installing them, as far as I can see, and there's no way to NOT install them, in iTunes.
It''s not just annoying, it's causing problems with installation of larger files and movies. Now, every time I sync to the computer, I get a warning that I'm over capacity by 580 MB, and larger apps will not install! Clicking Revert and a bunch of other things doesn't work, either. And I can't just delete some of the apps, because I or my wife use them on our phones!
