What is the stock drive that is being shipped in the 17"mbp?

what is the stock HD that is being shipped in the new unibody macbook pro. 320 5400rpm and if anyone knows about he 320 7200rpm that would be great as well. the apple site doesn't specify..

Hi apollo,
If you have a 17" MBP you can find out which drive is being used through the System Profiler.
Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info (Launches System Profiler)
Click on Serial-ATA on the left, and you will see your HD and your Optical Drive listed. The HD should have a manufacturer as well as a model number. If you plug that into Google it will tell you what drive it is.

  • It is unclear the advantage to pre-ordering the new iPhone 5. What I have read is that it will ship on the 21st? If so the only way to get one on the 21st is go stand in line. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    It is unclear the advantage to pre-ordering the new iPhone 5. What I have read is that it will ship on the 21st if you pre-order? If so the only way to get one on the 21st is go stand in line. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    if you don't have time to stand in line or don't want to risk getting there too late and leaving empty handed from the apple store preordering will guarantee you one but possibly in a slightly longer timeframe

  • I returned my old ipod and ordered a new one a few days ago and i was never given a tracking number for the new one that is being shipped

    i returned my old ipod and ordered a new one a few days ago and i was never given a tracking number for the new one that is being shipped

    Go to the Apple Store webpage and in the upper right go to Account and select Track an Order. There you will find the status of your order. You only get a tracking order when the items ships.

  • How do I repair a hard drive that was being written to while my MacBook Air crashed? (Drive will not mount)

    My external backup drive will not mount. I have tried to mount it in Disk Utility via the app and the command prompt but the attempt times out. Any suggestions?
    I backed up my HD the day before dropping off my Mac for repair, and then tried again just before going to my appointment. During this last and final backup my Macbook Air crashed. I have since discovered that the drive will no longer mount, likely due to the crash that occured during the last attempted backup. I am unsure if the drive can be repaired.
    My logic board was short circuiting some where that controls the headphone jack. Initially this prevented me from using the jack but eventually caused my mac to crash several times before I brought it in for repair. I believe that it is the this crashing that is responsible for my back up not being accessible but that my data may still be intact.
    Thanks for any help you may have!

    If possible, attach it to another Mac and see if it is recognized in Disk Utility.  If so, run Disk Utility>First Aid.  If not, the HDD may be damaged.
    Ciao.

  • What if the new mbp looks exactly the same as the late 2011 ones,

         Can I find a way to take the motherboard off mine, and put the motherboard from the new one in there, what other internals would I need to put in the newer motherboard? i dont know very much about  the internals of mac laptops so go easy. I think i mean the motherboard from what I've read, im basically asking if i can put the whole internals of a 2012 with the ivy-bridges (if thats whats there) into my current model mbp?

    Nope, no can do.
    Apple doesn't make things interchangable in that regard.
    If you want to hardware hack, then it's your business, but good luck you likely will need a larger case.
    Warrantly and AppleCare voided of course.

  • What's the best MBP for me ?

    Hello, I would like to save as much money as possible when buying my MBP. Which one should I take with what options ? What I am planning to do with it is listening to music, watching movies, working (word, excel, iwork, standard softwares like those) internet browsing, and play games. The games I will play with it are probably going to be games like Age of Empires III, Rise of Nations, or sports games like Winning Eleven, NHL 06 and some shooters like Far Cry, Half Life 2. What MBP should I choose with what options to save as much money as possible ?
    thanks for the help,
    Best regards.

    World of Warcraft and Far Cry are well...a Far Cry apart. WoW is not near as demanding on the video card. Most people who play Far Cry will agree that despite the recs saying minimum of 64MB video RAM a more realistic minimum is 128MB. Sure the 128 will meet that minimum but thats about it. Future games will be even more demanding on video memory.
    Better to future proof now then think later #$#@ I shoulda spent a little extra for the 256MB. You can easily add more RAM to your MBP down the road, your not going to up your video memory.

  • What is the maximum MBPS for the AirPort Extreme 5th Generation?

    I am considering the E4200 v2 and AirPort Extreme routers. Can any give me the pros & cons for each? Price is about the same with the E4200 v2 $20 more.

    For an excellent review of the 5th Gen AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), I would recommend that you check out the following SmallNetBuilder article. They not only provide comprehensive data on testing the base station's performance. but they also do so for a number of other router manufacturer products, including the Cisco/Linksys E4200V2 that you are also interested in.

  • What is the normal MBP Battery capacity?

    I have an approx. 1 month old MBP; the first battery was just replaced by Apple. I received the new battery on Friday and let it charge fully. On Friday evening, I turned on the MBP and saw that the battery showed "original capacity 5500, current capacity 5391 (fully charged)". I thought that a bit strange, so I decided to calibrate it following Apple's instructions. On Saturday, after fully charging it again, it showed "current capacity 5301". So, now the capacity is worse - ?
    Before calling Apple, I'd like to know if it's normal to have a 5% capacity reduction within about 24 hours - at that rate, the battery will be dead shortly.
    I'd appreciate any input/experiences with battery capacity.

    FIGURED IT OUT! My battery level reached 95% and the battery status said, "the battery is not charging"
    I looked it up on apple support and found this very useful section in the Macbook Pro User's Guide:
    "If the battery icon in the Finder menu bar is set to show the percentage of charge, you might sometimes notice that the battery does not attain a full 100 percent charge when the power adapter is attached. This is normal behavior; battery life is maximized if charging is not continuously cycled on and off when the battery’s charge capacity is between 95 and 100 percent. When the battery level eventually drops below 95 percent, it will charge all the way to 100 percent."
    This fits with my problem. This macbook pro has been literally plugged in for well over a week!
    So much for the "apple products are losing their quality"

  • What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

    What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

    I agree with teh OWC sggestion above, but why must it be USB powered? I find that far more unreliable, and the low power devices slow.
    I'd frankly get a good external enclosure and buy a bare drive.  But the OWC stuff is quite good - vastly better than some of the majors (WD being aprime example of stuff that's boderline quality and often not compatible)

  • What is the proper procedure to backup to multiple external hard drives if one wishes to rotate drives such that you may store one in a fire safe?

    Description:  If I want to back up to two external hard drives using Time Machine, what is the proper procedure to follow such that I could keep one attached to Time Machine for daily backups, and one that I attach monthly such that I can back it up monthly, and then store it in a fire safe.  To do this, what are the exact steps to follow?
    Research in Progress:
    I selected the "?" icon in Time Machine which took me to "Mac Help - Time Machine Preferences" section.  I reviewed this section, including the "Select Backup Disk, Select Disk, Add or Remove Backup Disk."  It says, "If you haven’t set up Time Machine, click Select Backup Disk to set up a backup disk. Repeat the steps for each backup disk you want to set up."  I did add two backup disks.  It goes on to say "If you already set up Time Machine, your backup disks are listed, and information about each backup disk is shown. To select, add, or remove backup disks, click Select Disk or Add or Remove Backup Disk."  Well, what is lacking here is what happens when you "Remove" the backup disk.
    As I have read this section, it raises additional questions:
    What are some cautionary statements.
    What happens after you remove a backup disk?  Will Time Machine recognize it later?
    What is the proper procedure for removing and ejecting one of your external hard drive when you use it with Time Machine?  What happens if you don't "remove" a backup drive and instead just drag it to the "trash can, i.e. eject it" and later reconnect it.?

    Time Machine supports multiple backup drives including network area storage volumes (NAS) as well as physically-connected external backup drives.
    In , System Preferences, Time Machine, add the second drive by clicking Select Disk.
    All available connected drives including connected network drives are displayed.
    Select the additional drives, one at a time.
    Connected Network drives are displayed on the desktop only when actively being used by Time Machine for backup.
    When prompted, select 'use both' when adding the second drive.
    Then choose Select or Remove at the bottom of the list of available devices and network volumes to add additional drives.
    Time Machine then automatically rotates backups among the available designated devices and volumes.
    If the drive is physically not present, Time Machine skips to the next available backup drive.
    To DISMOUNT a drive to take it off-site, it is NOT necessary to remove it from the Time Machine preferences.
    When the drive is NOT in use, dismount it by Command+clicking that Drive icon on your desktop (or in Finder) and then "Eject".
    That's it.
    After 10 days with no backups to a given device, Time Machine does display a message and (as I recall) asks if you want to remove that drive from the rotation.
    You can never be too rich or have too many backups!

  • What is the SAX2 Driver that comes with JDK1.4?

    What is the SAX2 Driver that comes with JDK1.4?
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    The following are SAX2 System Property values for org.xml.sax.driver (used when implementing XMLReaderFactory):
    Xerces2 - org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser
    Crimson - org.apache.crimson.parser.XMLReaderImpl
    Per the Xerces2 documentation the SAX2 Parser in Xerces2 will implement the same package name as Xerces to maintain backward compatibility. Will applications that implement the Crimson SAX2 driver in the JDK 1.4 be hosed once Xerces2 is implemented in the JDK?
    The SAX2 driver provided with the JDK will change from org.apache.crimson.parser.XMLReaderImpl to org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser. That will put many SAX2 applications at risk if the programmer is relying on a SAX2 driver provided with the JDK.
    Is a solution to this issue being worked on?
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    I have replied to you three times now without reply. I DID NOT authorise a payment of £9.99 for NowTV. What is the solution to getting my money refunded. I think you assume I will go away after being Ignored. No I will not go away. I find now that you have DISABLED MY APPLE ID. Is this a punishment you use to anyone who takes up a stand against charges being made unauthorised on their account?. Please tell me why you have disabled my account. When will my account be restored? If not when will you refund ALL my purchases made to APPLE/ITUNES? I can then move on to another brand and hopefully better customer service. After reading articles regarding APPLE ID DISABLED it appears common practice from your company to DISABLE anyone's account if they question unknown charges. Please reply with your intentions regarding  the unauthorised payment and the DISABLING of my account.

    The largest capacity HDD that you can install is the HGST 1.5 TB HDD:

    Any 2.5" 9.5mm thick SATA HDD will fit and operate in your MBP, regardless of capacity.

    Hi Shane.  Not much in the way of thoughts - - but fwiw:
    How is the drive attached?
    Can you open large files on the drive with other programs?
    Are you running any drive compression or acceleration programs (some drives arrive with these installed)?
    Can you reformat the drive and try again?
    Hi Kirby,
    I attached the UltraMax Plus with a USB cable. The UltraMax powers the cable so power is not an issue. I can open other files. Also, there is 500GB of files on the drive so I cannot re-format it. Although, I noted I could import the entire Aperture Library. However, I do not want to create a duplicate on my machine because that would be defeating the purpose of the external drive.
    Thanks,
