Can I change the hard disk on my MacBook Pro to a larger one, and if so what are the sizes I can get? I bought my MacBook Pro in Feb 2006.
Also would it be possible to copy my current apps,data etc to the new drive? I.e. have a mirror image of my current laptop onto the new drive?
Whatever drive you choose to replace with, you need a magnetic 00 micro philips screwdriver to open the case and a container for each of the screws to place in their own sections in order so you return the right screws to each hole. (also a green or dark mat to catch and see any fallen tiny screws)

Before you do surgery, you use the free Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your entire boot drive (doesn't do Bootcamp) to a blank, HFS+ journaled formatted drive (equal or larger than the boot drive)

Hold option and boot from the clone, check it out and Disk Utility > repair permissions on both drives. Disconnect.
Do your drive surgery.
Hold option and boot from the clone, use Disk Utility to Erase with Zero the new drive, format HFS+ and then use CCC to reverse clone. Repair permissions on both again.
Reboot and your Mac should be just like it was, only with a larger hard drive.
Piece of cake.

  • I use the company's iPad at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal iPad  at home. How can I change the company's iCloud id to synchronize with my own one?

    I use an iPad 2 at work that has a different apple id for iCloud than my own personal new iPad. How can I change the company's id for iCloud to synchronize with my own personal iPad?

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
    You also may want to go to other places like:
    - Settings>iCloud
    - Settinge>FaceTime
    - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
    It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID

    why not? use LiteIcon then. it's free and is MUCH safer than mucking with system files by hand. if you insist you can do it as follows. go to /system/library/coreservices. control-click on coretypes.bundle and select "show package contents". go to contents-> resources. change the file GenericFolderIcon.icns with your own .icns file. back up the original bundle first.

    In the Creative Cloud Application you can change in Preferences the App language. Then you can download and install additional the other language.
    With Photoshop you can now go to Preferences > User Interface and switch between all installed and available languages.

  • Can I change the default keyboard shortcuts?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it was possible to change some of the default keyboard shortcuts. Some of the actions I use quite frequently have 4-button shortcuts that require a lot more dexterity than I have and I was hoping I can change them to something simple, like 2-keys or 3 at the most. Is this doable?
    Thanks

    Many can be changed. System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts.

  • HT203808 I can't change the Apple ID on my new phone after switching from my old phone.

    I bought a new iPhone 5S and restored my iTunes info from an old backup.  I now have an old Apple ID in my new phone when I try to use iCloud.  The old Apple ID is defunct so I can't delete the account as I don't have the password.  I backed up my old phone again but when I plugged my new phone into the laptop it automatically backed up.  How can I restore from the lates backup of the old phone which had the new Apple ID info?

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Can I change the Lion iCal Monthly View "New Event" from All Day?" Default?

    I have tried all the posted suggestions to change the iCal "new event" preferably in Monthly View from the default of "All Day" but to no avail. This is a current issue so old terminal changes do not seem to work. Anyone have the same issue?

    I also have an issue  with not being able to change  "end times". Four instance if I schedule an event at 9:00 AM iCal defaults to 10:00 AM. I'll click the end time to change it to 4:00 PM  and the time will not change. It defaults back to the same start time or one hour later. I can get the drop down list to appear, but the options are not enough to schedule anything over 3 hours.
    Nor can  change the "add day" default.
    I appreciate any advice/assistance you guys have.
    Thanks!

  • Changing the macbook keyboard

    Hi everybody hope someone'll be able to help me.
    I'm thinking of buying my first macbook this summer in the US. But there is one big hurdle - The keyboard. I want it in danish with the special danish keys Æ,Ø & Å.
    Whats the price for the keyboard?
    Can i change the physical keyboard myself? if not what would it cost to have the apple store do it for me?
    Have anybody experience with this i'd love if you could help me!
    Joey

    If getting a Danish keyboard is beyond what you want to pay, I recommend the overlays, stickers or just writing on the keys. I have been using Macs for Japanese since 1985. Some software I bought once came with some keyboard stickers and they worked really well. I know it's not the same as Danish, and now with modern input systems I don't bother, but I just thought I would add this info.

    Hello pen pang,
    if your Photoshop is a part of Creative Cloud you can use "Manage your membership and payments|Creative Cloud" at
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/membership-subscription-troubleshooting- creative-cloud.html >>>
    Payment & credit card >>> Help changing the credit card on your account >>> from there see what hints are listed.
    On the other hand I'm sure that you can use the recommended procedure with a "normal" PS too.
    If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.
    If you need these explanations in another language, please use "Change" at the end/bottom of the website from above
    Good luck!

    After updating with ios7, I cannot proceed because I cannot enter my password since it uses Greek letters but the keyboard available is Latin. How can I change the keyboard to Greek?

    try tapping holding on the key that would be most similar to the letter you want to enter, that will bring up a menu of other characters similar to that character and maybe the greek letter will be included in that menu

    My midi set up is fairly extensive, and what I've done is keep an up to date diagram of all my midi interfaces and device connections. I use this as the desktop background on my studio mac, and just hit F11 when I need to reference something. Simple but effective.
