Thinking of Upgrading HDD, need help !

Hey everybody, I just got an iMac it's been exactly 2 weeks since I purchased it, and I already think I need more HDD Space, so I looked it up online and there are tons of guides, but, my dad bought me Apple Care, so i don't want to viod it, so I called up Apple Pasadena Store and asked them, she told me that, I should see if Dyno or Unitech, but i'm unsure help ?

Carolyn hit it right on the head by suggesting an external drive. To try and upgrade the internal disk isn't wise at it might void the warranty. If you get an external drive look for one that supports Firewire 800 because that is the quickest speed available on an external drive for an iMac. Two popular brands and models are the OWC Mercury line and Lacie Quadra D2 line. Both are great drives and overall would most likely be significantly less expensive than opening the iMac and installing a larger internal drive. Also they would give the added benefit of more flexibility too.
Regards,
Roger

but my friend who had ordered his win 7 2 months earlier got different message:\
Your credit card will only be charged EUR 17.75 upon the release of the selected language of Windows 7 or successful validation of your Proof of Purchase, whichever comes later. The price shown is inclusive of tax and shipping charges.
An email will be sent to you upon successful payment.
So, could somebody help me? why we have got different emails?

PS: sorry for my english...

gorzi, welcome to the forum,
don't panic! On the underside of your sytem is a label, on it you will find your type - model number, serial number and date of manufacture. Lenovo know, through the model and s/n when your system was manufactured. I'll bet that your manufacture date starts with 09 followed by a number larger than 06. In other words; if it's after 09/06 you don't need to provide proof of purchase as the system wasn't built before the upgrade program started.
Your credit card will be charged when they send the discs.
Hope this helps

Purchasing a new HDD, need help a few details concerning iTunes and my music.

Alright, so I am currently using the hard drive that came with my computer when I got it way back when. I'm looking to upgrade ( For storage and performance improvements) and my question is this: What would be the best method to get my OS and files to the new HDD, while preserving the play count for my music as well as making it as smooth as possible with iTunes and my music?

If I've read that correctly, step 4 should be unnecessary because iTunes will know where your music is (the external HD).
Do step 4 if your library hasn't filled up with songs from your external HD by the time you come to step 4, so to speak.

Systemd hdd needs help to boot

Installed systemd to HDD which is connected via adapter to Sata port. The grub2 boot data is identical in format to that of a CF card device also installed via adapter to sata port.
The cf card has format identical to the HDD (uuid's differ of course) and it boots when installed alone or with the HDD also connected to a sata port.
However, the hdd (maxtor) does not boot alone but does boot if the CF card is also connected to a Sata port.
This suggests that some critical data is obtained more quickly from the CF card than is true of the HDD.
I have tried sleep in several places to allow for delays in the HDD sata adapter which is different than the CF card adapter.
AFAICT the data in grub2 is valid for each of the two devices. Therefore it seems to be a hardware problem and a delay might solve the problem.
I put ...sleep 5.... in several places to provide the desired delay to no avail.
When using both devices and booting from the hdd, the boot is quickly started and completes to desktop.. If no cf device inserted, the boot is slow to provide the usual error...cannot find root device.
Perhaps sllep isn't the right command?

this one will NOT BOOT until I push F1 key.
F1? what F1 is suppose to do? Is there any message received when you need to press F1? If yes what it is?

Upgrading ipod, need help?

i was using an older ipod photo and it was working just fine but i got a new ipod video and it does not download anything from itunes? any suggestions...???

I suggest that more info is needed. Starting with, when you plug in the new iPod, does your computer even see it? And then does iTunes see it? First step is getting the computer and iTunes to see the iPod before you can put any songs on it, right? So let's start there.
Oh, one more question. Are you using the USB cable that came with the iPod or are you trying to connect the new iPod up with your old iPod's Firewire cable (which won't work)?

Please I need help in upgrading applications

Please I need help in upgrading my pdf-notes for ipad. it seemed like somebody hijacked my Apple ID, I had since solve the problem with Apple, I still have my original email address but I was unable to upgrade all applications I bought before my username was hijacked and pdf-notes is one of the applications. kindly advice me on what to do to upgrade.
Thanks. Jimmy

Okay Demo. My theory is that accessing iCloud if apps were backed up to it can be redownload end then updated. I am thinking that with the new apple ID the iCloud account may only recognize the high jacked ID. I don't know if I made it clearer but I can do some digging. I don't like to see people using Apple devices having a tuff time. Not cool.

After upgrade to iOS8, very slow, no volume slider bar, no volume through the iPad although the headphones work. My volume slider bar now reads"Sound Effects"?? Mute is off, need help. So frustrated!

I need help! After upgrading to iOS8.1.2 , my volume slider bar disappeared and is now "Sound Effects" ??? I have no external sound. Do have sound through headphones. Mute is off. Have tried resetting several times with no luck. Frustration level is building as I have wasted hours now on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I do not think apple will do much to help you under warrenty, as this was caused by a fall. (alas!)
I think the case is, as you suggest, jamming the rocker down, and it may have damaged the swith itself. Can you carefully lever it out of the way? Very very carefully. If it is already broken, there is not much harm you can do by trying.
If it is just the switch being jammed, you might be able to move it out a little. If it is the swith itself, you will need some real service after your three hour drive. You might check your loacl area for a closer service repair source.

Thank you for the answers so far, but I'll make one correction: I said earlier that the Boston Globe website, boston.com, does not have a mobile site, and I would need to visit their regular website on my iPhone. Actually, I just found out that boston.com has a mobile site, so I'd obviously use that instead of the regular site. By doing that, I'd save a ton of data (I think). Does that change your answers?

Wish I didn't upgrade! and now I need help to figure out how to make it wor

I have a Windows XP Pro 2nd edition with IE ver 6.0.2 (but I normally use FireFox)
I've never had any trouble with iTunes until iTunes "forced" me to upgrade my iTunes applicaiton to version 6 if I wanted to "purchase" music. (note to self: Purchase music from stores it's much safer)...
I upgraded and received no error messages. Trouble is now, when I launch the iTunes application it doesn't "open" ... although the iTunes process begins to run in the background process (ctraltdelete).
I have uninstalled and installed 5 different times and ways.
First uninstall was "typical" uninstall. THat didn't fix it.
Second uninstall was "typical" unistall from the Control Panel, and then I removed the folders from the "program File" folder. Still wouldn't work.
Third unintall was "typical" then I removed folders from local drive and removed all "known" registry "itune" keys. That didn't work.
Fourth uninstall was first a "repair" to itunes, and then a "typical" uninstall, then I removed folders, removed registry (does anyone know all of itunes registry keys? Maybe I am missing a few.. the only ones I know of is the "itune" reg). Then I looked through my start up menu from "msconfig" and took a look at my firewall program to see if there was anything preventing the program from running...
Fifth uninstall pretty much fruitless as my previous attempts.
I know it HAS to be a registry key of some sort.. here's why:
When I uninstall and reinstall (no matter how thourough) every time I install the iTunes program Windows XP has never ONCE recognized the new install of iTunes as a "NEW PROGRAM" and it should!
I need help... what registry keys should I be removing? ANyone suggest for me to remove Quick Time too? What about the ipod updater software? Any connection?
HELP??????????????????
THanks
W.

hi wmchisholm!
Trouble is now, when I launch the iTunes application it doesn't "open" ... although the iTunes process begins to run in the background process (ctraltdelete).
hmmm. is itunes.exe persisting in Task Manager? if so, first check up on these two possibilities:
iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
but if itunes.exe is disappearing after a few seconds, try the following technique:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
... and let us know the names (exact spelling please) of the start-up items that you had to disable in order to get itunes to launch. (there's a nasty piece of malware out there that has been causing "error-less" itunes launch failures since late October.)
love, b

Need help with upgrading my OS from 10.5.8

Need help with upgrading my OS. I havent upgraded the OS since I bought it and have version 10.5.8. Now I cant download Mountain Lion- or even Snow Leopard. When i downloaded the first version of SL- 10.6.1 it says i have to have 10.6 first and I cant find that.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple withdrew Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
UPDATE:
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:
