MAIL UPGRADE AFTER HARD DISC

MAIL WILL NOT APPEAR , MESSAGE STATING STSYEM Is MAC OS X sand mail is 4.6?
No probs before upgrade?

Note, my Mail 4.5 is on 10.6.8, maybe 4.6 is part of the 10.6.8 security updates.
And you posted to the 10.8 forum, an entirely different beast.
Upgrading to 10.7 or later is not recommended without reading this first:

I don't have recovery disk and hard disc is also replaced within 2months.can i get the disc free?

I failed to create a recovery disc (windows 7 64-bit preloaded OS) as the hard disc of my notebook PC of 2000-2121TU/B9K60PA had to be replaced by your service centre (id no.- 4642573737) within 40 days of purchase. I have made request to your customar care to supply recovery disc vide id no.-4685488834 but the person attended my call stated that i have to pay an amount between Rs. 800/- to Rs. 1500/- as delivery charge and that must be through credit card only. I don't have any credit card and I am not willing to pay further for the software i have purchased already but lost due to your product fault. can you help me and tell me what to do in this situation except knocking the door of consumer's protection forum.

Just download and install.

New Hard Disc Drive for HP Pavilion dv6 because of 303 and 305 error messages

Hello
My laptop was getting slower and slower so I did a default restore via the recovery partition and when it rebooted to start the reformat and reinstall to factory condition I got a message on the screen telling me to run the hard disc drive test. Did this and got the 303 and 305 error messages. The restore to default setting worked however after doing research in the error codes I realise I'm up for a new hard disc drive.
My laptop is a HP Pavilion dvd6-3203TU with WIndows 7 Home Premium installed. It currently has a 320GB TOSHIBA MK3265GSXX hard disc drive in it.
After reading through the forums I'm happy to find that my Recovery Discs will reinstall everything to a new hard drive and partition it into a C: drive and also the recovery partition. The main question I have is does my new hard drive have to be 320GB in size like the original or can I buy something like a 500GB+ drive for the laptop. If I have to replace the hard drive I may as will increase the size while at it, if possible that is.
Also does it have to be a Toshiba or can I buy a different brand?
Looking forward to some help in regards to this so thank you in advance also

Hi,
Your notebook is listed as coming with a 320Gb Hard Drive, but you can just as easily install a 500Gb or 750Gb HDD if you want more space - the drives on the following links are examples that would be fine for your notebook - you're in no way restricted to a particular manufacturer.
500Gb Hard Drive
750Gb Hard Drive.
The procedure to replace the Hard Drive starts on Page 65 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.

Native SATA hard drive support for hp pavilion notebooks DV2000 , DV9000

Hello,
decided to post a question on this hp forum instead of the hundreds of other tech forums out there in the hopes of recieving a valid knowledgeble response. (Also since the question relates to Hp products lets give it a try on here>>)
So here is the question I'm trying to get answer for. Can a SATA hard drive from DV 2000 series notebook be used in a DV 9000 notebook series? I have done some forum reading and apparently there is compatibility issues depending on chipset (Intel or Amd or ATI?)
My Dv2000 series had a fujitsu 250gb hard drive which ran Vista 64bit on an AMD/nvdia motherboard,
I want to use this in my DV 9233cl notebook which has an Intel/nvidia chipset motherboard.
When I insert the fujitsu 250gb into the dv9233cl the notebook powers on, does a read of hard drive for 10 mins or so (hdd LED lights up, goes dim while reading) then says : No OS found.
I tried to do a fresh install using Vista CD; its doesn't recognize the drive. I click option to load drivers for hard drive (yes I also got intel drivers for Intel SATA controllers from hp web site) the drivers load but still do not pick up the hard drive;
I want to know two things really..if at post the motherboard reads the drive or trys to does this means the hard drive itself is good/healthy? If so , why does it not recognize by Vista Install disk or by the intel SATA drivers?
If anyone can accurately say what the problem is would be great.
Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for responding and opening up the discussion with more information.
I refered to it as new in my post in reference to obtaining it recently after my older dv2913cl.
The dv9233cl is in fact old, however I installed a brand new intel/nvidia motherboard into it.
The system boots, bios has native sata support set to 'enabled'. During post it recognises hdd device as it starts to click and spin and read. After it will say ' no OS found'. This to me seems normal as the hdd is not 'configured' to boot on the dv9233cl?
Also the systm boots and runs fine into mini Xp for diagnostics. So overall I know the dv9233cl is functioning.
However mini Xp does not recognise there is a hdd device.
Wanting to reformat or do a fresh install of Vista I boot from the Vista Install disk. It does not pick up or recognise a hdd is present. I install Intel SATA controller drivers which I obtained from Hp website (as suggested by expert forum members to those who have similar SATA hdd not being recognised with intel motherboard)
Link for intel SATA drivers for XP and Vista
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=US&swItem=ob-542...
I used the SATA controllers which came up on the screen and even try going through each one ; however the SATA hdd device is not picked up. So this is the main question and issue. Neither any DOS hdd utility , mini XP or Vista install disk recognise there is a hdd present.
Why is it not recognised and how to resolve.?

HP pavilion g6-2005AX Hard disc partition

My laptop is new one which is HP Pavilion g6-2005AX. The operating system is Windows 7 Home Basic.
When I tried to do hard disc partition, it failed showing one warning "The operation you selected may convert the selected basic disc to dynamic disc.If you do so you cannot start the installed programs from any volume on the disc."
Then I called HP. They told me to create recovery discs from the "HP recovery manager window". They said that they will call after completing this. I have followed what they said and created 5 recovery DVDs. Now they are not calling. I tried to call them many times, but they are too busy.
Please help me how can I proceed to do the hard disc partition.

Hi,

Upgrading processor on my HP Pavilion g6-1c45dx Notebook PC

Hello, I've been looking into making my Laptop run smother/play better and wanted to upgrade from my A4 processor (2.5GHz/1.9GHz VISION A4 Technology from AMD with AMD Dual-Core A4-3300M Accelerated Processor) to an A6 or A8 procesor and I was wondering if it could be done.

The largest 2.5" dia SATA drives available are 2 TB in capacity.
Have you tried the Seagate SSHD connected externally to the MBP via USB? The drive itself may be faulty.

Do I need an OS Disc to restore my macbook after I upgrade the hard drive?

I need to upgrade the hard drive in my 2009 macbook. I have a Time Capsule. I'm not clear on whether I need to install OS on the new drive using a disc, or whether I can do that from the Time Capsule? The issue is that my disc drive is broken, and I don't really want to replace it as I never use discs in it anyway. But i don't want to get stuck with a new hard drive and be unable to get an operating system on it.

I prefer this process:
How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
      mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
      the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
      is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the
      Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
      the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
      (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
      GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
      wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
      drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
      window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
      Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
      return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
      hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.
However, you could simply reinstall OS X on the new drive after prepping it, the restore all your files from your Time Machine backup.
Hard to say what if any other options there may be since you haven't told us what version of OS X is in use and backed up to your Time Capsule (and if it is a full system backup.)

New Mac Book, old Aperture...I have all upgrades for Aperture, but cannot find my original Ap 1 disc...am I screwed?

I have a new Mac Book Pro and tried to load Aperture on it. Cannot find the original disc but have both discs and serial numbers for 2 & 3...can I still upload?
Thanks,
Nick

Maybe I didn't explain..I started with Aperture 1 and then "upgraded" Aperture 2 and then 3. All of these were on the same computer and with the use of hard discs I purchased through Apple.
I now have a new computer and the update 2 & 3 discs with paperwork but Aperture 1 is long gone....I tried to load from the Aperture 2 disc but it asked for the original disc...no habbu..
Any suggestions..

Downloading mountain lion damaged my hard disc. I took my Mac Pro to apple book store. They are unable to repair it and suggest I purchase a new hard disc for $160. It was a perfectly functioning Mac Pro that got damaged by downloading mountain lion.

Software upgrades do not generally damage hardware; your drive's failure must be co-incidental. On most MBP's, a hard drive is very easily replaced by a user. You might want to check out this site for both hard drives as well as install videos (check which model you have so you can check the correct video):
http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
hard drives:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internal_storage/hard_drives_and_SSD
I just recently upgraded my MBP with an SSD; I purchased an kit with an external enclosure from OWC and cloned the current drive to the new one, installed the new drive and was done in no time.

Recommended Hard Disk Upgrade for 4,1 (Early 2008) Macbook?

I've read so many disaster stories out there (primarily from Amazon.com reviews) about upgrading mac Hard Disks, I wanted to get a real recommendation.
I was hoping to get a 750GB or 1TB internal HD replacement, and probably stick with 5400RPM to save battery life.
Any recommendations?
The "disaster stories" I heard were issues of performance degradation, stalling (due to waiting for the disk to spin up every couple of minutes) and disk failure, all in relation to the fact that they were going into macs rather than PCs.
Any suggestions? What has worked well for you?
Thanks!

With a 7200rpm drive you might notice a slight decrease in battery time. I've put one in a Early 2006 Model 1,1 for my niece and she's had no problems with it.
To buy a hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007605%2060000334 0&IsNodeId=1&name=7200%20RPM or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
