I am using an early 13 inch MacBook and have kept it going for five years without problems. The hard drive is getting unreliable and needs changing. How large a hard drive can I replace it with?

Sorry for the long title, this is the first time I have used this place.
The local Mac engineering support in Jamaica is a small shop in town. They told me I could go up to 750 gig, which appeals to me as I use this for my business. And oldie but goodie this Mac. It is upgraded in memory to 4 gig and is operating on Lion Server.
Recently I have been getting disk errors, which indicates the drive is getting too old and may fail soon.
So, before I buy I figured asking what the truth is. 750 gig? Really?

Physically, the limitation is the 9.5mm drive thickess. AFAIK, most if not all 750GB HDDs have that thickess. The next size, 1TB, has the issue that many of the brands are 12.5mm thick and won't fit, but you may get lucky and find a "thin" model in this size.
Other thing to watch is the speed. 7200 vs. 5400 RPM is attractive, but the faster disks will run a tad hotter, which can be an issue in a single-fan 13"
Lastly, noise. Compare the noise ratings as published in the spec sheets. Western Digital disks, for example, are usually noisier than other brands. Perfectly nornal and does not detract in performance or longevity, but having the thing buzz at you while trying to catch a quick email check at night or watch a subdued movie may be annoying.
When you do decide and get down to doing the deed, be sure to get one of those cans of compressed air or "dusters" and thoroughly clean out the guts of the Mac. Especially around the blades of the fan, where dust tends to stick and degrade the cooling capacity of the component.

HT2731 I had to set up a new email address for my ipad, but the old one is still coming up when i have to update my apps, how do i reset to the new email address?

I recently had to reset my apple id to a new email address, but when i try to update my apps, the old one is still showing up, how do i change it?

Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased and will always need to be updated using that account.

Have you guys been able to activate your iphone yet? I bought an iphone 4s from eBay and it worked fine, but the previous user had left some data on it, so last night I used the "erased all content and settings" to restore it to factory setting so I can start fresh and restore my backup. But now I'm stuck at the activation screen (I get the same "the activation server is temporarily unavailable") and can't get it to activate, even if I use my old deactivated AT&T sim card (I'm on straighttalk now).
I might try activating it with an active AT&T sim card from my fiancee's phone when she gets home, so I'll let you know how that works outs.
If it's true that the server is down; anyone know when it will be back up again? Thanks in advance.

I downloaded the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? Thank You, Carol Roberts

I downloaded the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? If there is no way to do this, then I will have to use internet explorer so I hope you can help me with this. Thank You, Carol Roberts

Until Evernote updates their add-on to mark it compatible with Firefox 6, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter] to try re-enabling it yourself.
You can also downgrade to a previous version of Firefox from [https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ this archive], but please be warned that some old versions of Firefox have known security bugs that are fixed in later versions.

Under Snow Leopard I used a WD My World NAS to back up my Mac Pro (Mid 2010). When I upgraded to Lion I am unable to access the backup because the NAS does not yet support AFP. I have now bought a Time Capsule and want to transfer the old backup onto it.

How can I recover the NAS back up to put on my new Time Machine.
Talking to Apple Support Adviser was a waste of time on case number 239647273
Any thoughts or pointers?

Keep the old OS around and just kick the tires and test new OS. Apple has a history and habit of breaking support in things like this.
You can use TimeMachine as one level of backup, and even there there were changes with Lion, I would always recommend foremost backup clones of every volume. And clone (SuperDuper etc) can be stored on something like HP NAS Media Server which also was supporting TimeMachine, iTunes - until Apple made that harder and more their own proprietary format.

Lion Communities
Cloning as a Backup Strategy
Rather than "upgrade" I would clone the system, and do a clean install, then allow Setup Assistant to import your files.

They changed the way we see our appointments. That's awful! Is there a way to chnage back to the "old" way when you could see all your appointments at a glance????

Maybe I'm fool, but how I get the "day view"? I have three options on the top line, an icon that seems a computer (a square and two lines), a magnifying glass to search a especific item and a "plus" to add appointments. The "day view" isn't any more there - that's the point!!! Using the first icon a get the full month-that uses 2/3 of the screen- and two lines of appointments...To see the rest I have to slide up and down the two lines taking care to not touch the month...

HT1947 There are 5 of us in this house with IPhones and we all want to control the apple tv with our phones. We all have separate iTunes accounts. How do we do this?

There are 5 of us in this house with IPhones and we all want to control the apple tv with our phones. We all have separate iTunes accounts. How do we do this?

I have 3 iPhones in my house and 1 apple tv.
I do NOT set a password on my apple tv, so any iPhone can send video to the tv.
Any iPhone can use the apple remote option also.
Just play a video and click that square with an arrow and play on apple tv. The video comes up from any iPhone in my house.
Same goes for pics, etc

HT1212 My phone screen is damaged and i can not use the screen, how do i back up the info on the iphone to itunes on my laptop?

My iphone screen is damaged and cannot be used. I received my new iphone this morning. How do i back up the contact numbers on the damaged phone to itunes on my laptop so that i can then transfer this contact list to the new iphone?

If the device has been used as designed, contacts would be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service. If the device has regularly been synced and backed up to iTunes on the computer, simply plug it in and allow the sync/backup to occur.
If the device has never been synced/backed up to a computer, it is not possible to force one without a working screen.

How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data in the packet cannot be read from or written to"?

How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data canny be read from or written to"?

Regarding not being able to open iPhoto. As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Were you able to create a new library?
If so then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired.
Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

You created a new AppleID?
Why not simply update your old AppleID so you have only one iTunes account?

How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening.

How can I transfer video taken with my iPhone to my iPad WITHOUT using a computer or iTunes? I'm going to Europe for a month and want to use my iPhone to take pics and video, then come back to the hotel room and use my iPad to edit/store each evening. I don't want to use my iPad to take the video...too large/bulky. And I WON'T have a computer with me...I purchased the iPad to take with me so I could use the RDC to my home computer and avoid taking my computer at all. Is this possible?

here is a cheaper solution than camera kit and a lot easier if you have WIFI available.
I use the PhotoSync APP (I think its a $1.99) will transfer videos and photos over WIFI to any other IOS device or even PC/MAC. Great app since I like doing video and photos on my IPHONE and transfer to IPAD2 without synching through computer or doing cloud based storage.
You can even send photos/videos from your MAC/PC to your IOS devices that way too. Makes it so much easier.
Here is the link;

I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon. Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?
