TS1372 How much is it to replace the hard drive in my iPod classic

I've had my iPod classic for about three and a half years now and a few days ago it started to freak out on me. So when it stopped responding, I did the hard reset like I'd already done a million times before. Only this time, it said that I had to plug into iTunes to restore it. Long story short it didn't work and when I took it to Best Buy they said that the hard drive had failed. To get it repaired they also said that I would have to ship it to Kentucky. I live in New Mexico and I'm just wondering if anyone knows how much that costs and wether or not it's just a better idea to get a new one.

Here is the Apple iPod repair price list, I think US$179
For 3rd Party service, US$50 to US$130, Google for "IPOD CLASSIC REPAIR New Mexico", for one near your area.
Good Luck!

Replace the hard drive in my iPod Mini with CompactFlash Card?

Hi. I just dropped my mini (a whole 4 feet) and now it's broken. The drive is busted. I can hear it just clicking away and then I get the un-happy mac icon. Since it's past its warrantee and I don't have apple care for it, either I replace the hard drive or chuck it in the trash. I'm going to try the first one. I open it up and pulled out the Hitachi 4GB mini hard drive. It appears to just be a CompactFlash Card drive. My question is this:
Can I replace it with any Compact Flash Card?
I was thinking about replacing it with a regular card (i.e. no micro drive with delicate spinning parts). I figure it will be more durable and possibly extend the battery life. I think I can get atleast a 2GB card, which is what I presume they use in the nano.
Thanks

Technically, you could replace the drive in your iPod. Just make sure you know what you're doing before you do it. After you replace the drive, just restore the iPod through the iPod restore software. After you restore your iPod, you can then use your iPod just like before. One thing I would like to point out is that the Nano uses a flash drive, not a hard drive so there is no point in trying to match a drive with the nano drive. Anyways, you may find the site http://www.ifixit.com helpful when you take on this task. I would also google "replacing iPod mini hard drive" just so you can get some insight before you take the task on.

Problem with the hard drive of my ipod classic

hello everybody
i have a recent problem on my ipod classic, the hard drive make strange noises (the hard drive cuts after a few second and this repeat about 3 or 4 times) do you think it's broken :/ ?

See this user hint from a fellow user https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
The information from the other poster will not bring your iTunes library to your comptuer from the phone. This is not designed to be done this way. This workaround in the post I linked to will help.

I want to find out how much space on my macbook pro hard drive is from iphoto pics

i have a macbook pro (2008) w/186 g hard drive, w/OS 10.5.8. I want to find out how much (% or # of gigabytes) of the hard drive is pics from iPhoto. does it sort by type (e.g., apps) ?

Click on Pictures in the Finder’s sidebar, select the iPhoto library, and choose Get Info from the File menu. If you’re using multiple libraries, you’ll need to do this on each one.

My mac mini hard drive is failing. I am no longer under warranty. Do you know how much it cost to have Apple replace the hard drive? or How I can replace it myself?

Mac and Mac models are picky about the RAM the Mac needs to see and use.
As you have found out, the 1067 speed RAM will not work in your year and model iMac.
You need the 1333 speed RAM.
If, you can return the RAM for a refund, do it!
If not, try online Mac RAM source and seller Crucial memory. They have a table that matches your Mac to the correct and reliable RAM. You may need to contact them to see whether or not they ship to South Africa, though.
If Crucial dpesn't work out, here's the specs for your year and model iMac that you need to seek out and purchase.
Maximum Memory
32 GB (Actual) 16 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
4 - 204-pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
Good Luck!

How much would it cost to replace the hard drive on a classic?

The classic that I have has a dead hard drive, and I'm considering replacing the hard drive instead of buying a new one. Which would be cheaper?

It would be cheaper to replace the Hardisk at a 3rd Party service, google "iPod repairs" and you will get a whole list maybe one near your area.
Used to have Refurbished iPod from Apple ON-line store, but I cant see any.

To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then partition and format the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one.
Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Vantec-NexStar-2-5-Inch-External-Enclosure/dp/B002JQNXZC/r ef=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332118549&sr=8-1

How do I authorise my Imac for Itunes after replacing the hard drive?

Dear All,
Apologies, but I am new to forums and understand that the issue of "Authorisation" of Itunes purchases and rentals has been done to death! However, I have tried everything and have exhausted normal research on the Net, there doesnt seem to be standard sollution to my problem. I have replaced the Hard Drive in my Imac 2008 with an SSD which makes the Imac very fast and effcient and completely clean of the usual trash in an old computer. So before renting my first movie, I did the following:..................................
Formatted the hard drive and downloaded and upgraded to OSX to 10.5.8 (the latest I can go on this Imac (I think) Intel 3.06Ghz 2 core and 4GB SSDRAM)
Upgraded Itunes to the latest available
Upgraded Quicktime to the latest available.
I rented a film which will not play and initially I got the "not authorised on this computer" message which kept repeating despite saying it was "waiting"
So I did the usual apple support search and tried the following:..................................
I checked that my apple User ID and password where up to date and that I was purchasing on the right ID
Tried the standard.....Itunes/Store/Authorise this computer - tried unauthorising and then re-authorising No luck
I tried deleting the (/Users/Shared/SC info) file No luck
I tried the Terminal based solution "sumo chmod -R 777 /Shared/Users" fix It didnt work either
I don't get the authorisation warning any more but just get a black screen with a grey horizontal stripe across the middle
I would be very grateful if somene could give me another sollution to try............................
Thank you very much,
Sfithy

Double & triple check that you installed the hard drive correctly.
