What kind of hdd can I put into my macbook 2.4ghz from 2008?

As the title of the topic says. I'm thinking about upgrading my
hard drive from 160gb to a bigger one. Can I use a 7200 rpm type
of hard drive or what limitations should I look for?
Thanks in advance!

If it's the white 2008 model 4,1 you need a SATA hard drive that's 9.5mm in height. If it's the Aluminum Unibody model 5,1 then you can use a SATA 12.5mm high hard drive. That's the only limitation on hard drives.
For a hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE

    What kinds of cpu can you put in a 2007 modal imac to bring it to its max
    Thanks

    While it CAN be done I don't know if you'll see enough bang for your buck to make it worthwhile. IMO you'll get a better return by installing an SSD and maxing out the ram. That said I don't have any idea which cpu you could swap for.

  • What kind of Video can I import into InDesign?

    I've read that Acrobat 9 and newer can display flash video files within a PDF. I tried importing an .flv file into InDesign but it did not work. Is this possible to do? Also, are there any other types of video files that can be imported into InDesign?
    The idea is to do a quick reference guide for a software application which will have an embedded flash video file showing motion capture of the application in action.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Acrobat 9 can display Flash (SWF) files well if you add the files within Acrobat. However, if you add the SWF files in InDesign and then export to PDF, the SWF files may not play, especially on a Mac. You're better off leaving a placeholder in InDesign and then adding the SWF in Acrobat to the exported PDF. For more details, see Sandee Cohen's entry:

  • What kind of information can I put on the Historical Byte in ATR?

    Hello all,
    Which information can I put on the Historical Byte in ATR?
    I found some information in the GP spec, like basic channel and card recognition data.
    Could you let me know more specifically?
    Thank you very much,
    Julie.

    Normally, historical byte contains information about the life cyle state of the card, i.e. when the card is pre-personalized or personalized, etc.? This is the intent of the historical bytes, but again it is upto the smart card vendor to put the type of the data in it.

    The largest 2.5" SATA HDDs of 9.5 mm thickness that I am aware of are 1 TB in capacity.  There is a 12.5 mm thick  HDD that will fit some MBPs.  But I have not seen any of larger capacity. 
    Are there now 2 TB HDDs available for MBPs?    If so, I am interested.
    Ciao.
    Both OWC and Crucial have SSDs of about 1 TB capacity.

  • How much RAM can I put into my Macbook Pro?

    Here's my info:
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro4,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache:          3 MB
      Memory:          2 GB
      Bus Speed:          800 MHz
    I want to upgrade my RAM, as the computer is showing a bit of age at 3 years old now.  I looked at this support page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270#link8
    And judged the installation to be easy enough for me to do, but I'm confused as to how much RAM I can buy.  The conflict I see is that "Additional notes" says I can use up to 8GB of RAM, but the table says only 4GB.  What's throwing me off is basic math -- is that 4GB only referring to my slots (thus 4+4=8) or is it saying that anything over 4GB will not be recognized by my computer?
    I spoke with someone at Apple, but he seemed a bit confused by my question, and eventually gave me a "yes" that was timid enough that I felt the need to post here.  So, I'd appreciate the support!  Thanks a lot, everyone.  I'm just looking to not spend more than I need (in terms of buying excess RAM), and make sure I don't ruin my Mac in the process.

    The MacBook Pro 4,1 can acces a maximum RAM of 6GB
    However RAM comes in 4GB modules and you have two slots, so you install 8GB (two 4GB modules) and can only access 6GB of it according to MacTracker.
    Use the free Crucial.com site to make sure your getting the extact specified RAM specs, you can buy it anywhere if you like.

    I have a MacBook Pro 13 mid 2010.    Please see the specs below.  It is still working great, but I would like to add an external display so I have a bigger screen to work from when I remote into my office desktop.   What would be an economical way of adding a secondary display to use with this machine?  I don't need state of the art graphics.  This is mainly for writing code and documentation.  Thanks.

    Thanks...just got a Dell monitor and an adapter for the mini displayport to HDMI.  It hooked up very easily and looks great. <$300.

  • I have one HDMI port on my television that is currently used for my hard drive/free view box.  What kind of adaptor can I buy so I can have the hard drive and my apple tv device plugged into the same HDMI PORT?

    I have one HDMI port on my television that is currently used for my hard drive/free view box.  What kind of adaptor can I buy so I can have the hard drive and my apple tv device plugged into the same HDMI PORT? Is it a switch or a splitter?  And where is it best to buy one?  Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need an HDMI switch.

  • What hard drive can I put into my powerbook G4 titanium

    The hard drive just won't boot up no matter what I do.  Even from the repair disk.  What can I put into this thing.  I don't want to buy the wrong thing.
    thanks,

    PATA drive, up to 320 Gig.  Look at this OWC link for some candidates.  You can filter on your exact machine to narrow down the selections..

  • What type of expansions can be put in Mac Pro's

    I've owned MBP and iMac but now I own a Mac Pro and I want to know what kinds of things can the system be expanded with besides HD, extra super drives. I need some ideas here, this is actually my very first tower computer and this is all new to me. I'm using the computer for video and some music. I hear of people installing Blu Ray but I thought Macs do not support them, I've heard of this e-sata thing, and I've heard of people putting different graphic cards. Give me some insight if you guys and girls don't mind.

    You'd be surprised...! People come to Mac Pro not knowing how much RAM their apps will benefit from, or how to configure primary scatch, or never used any type of RAID and not sure what it means, and want to use mirror for their backup.
    Of course then we get to, "if you have to ask if you need Mac Pro or not, or could get by with a _____" the general snap is, "if you have to ask, then you don't need one" too.
    Or they get into these FW hubs and daisy chain and run into all sorts of problems as a result; or don't know that eSATA/USB/FW may not be native SATA.
    The first time I got into SCSI controller, and first time it was a real option, I had a headache for months going over Ultra2 vs Ultra160.

  • What kind of camera can I use??????

    I need to measure crack length in fatigue test of an Aluminium sample automatically. For example, the camera can take shots (Images) every 4000 cycles (fatigue load cycles), maybe more cycles.
    For my test, I need to measure both sides crack length (right side and left side of specimen centre line), shown in Fig1.  So I need to take shots both crack tips at the same time, which means camera must have a large field view and the resolution should measure 0.01mm, to see both crack tips clearly. At the end, I must be able to acquire images from Labview. I can save all the images into my fold from Labview, then I can measure crack lengths in left and right side from every image.  Fig1. sample size and crack tip
    Would you please give me any suggestions on the characteristic/specifications of this kind of camera?
     What kind of camera can I use? How much this kind of camera? Where can I order this kind of camera?

    Where are the hidden catches?
    What can go wrong, and how can i undo any mistake?
    I also have an iTunes Match acccount.

    HI
    Read this user tip Make and keep a backup of your iTunes library, and only stream from the cloud.
    Problems? No hidden catches. Whilst streaming using match, you will need a wifi connection. You main worry is that if your NAS drives fails, you need to redownload your music from match but this could take time depending on how large your collection is. Personally I keep an additional backup of all my music as a matter of course.

  • Is there a max number of names that can be put into Contacts

    is there a max number of names that can be put into Contacts and still have the app work well?

    Yes, there is. It's how many contacts your hard drive can take. So you can fill up the entire computer with nothing but contacts until your HDD/Flash has no space left. So if you have 250GB, it'd be less than if you had 500GB and you'd have more on 750GB.
