What screw size do I need for the HDD data cable in 15" MBP (mid-2010)?

In what turned out to be the most frustrating night of my life, I decided to upgrade my mid-2010 15" MBP from the factory 256GB HDD to a 1TB drive. All was well until the ultra-cheap internal screws stripped, which I have heard is a big problem. I finally got the mounts out with a little force, and then accidentally tore the HDD data cable.
So when I tried to unscrew the small screws with precision and care to replace the data cable, those screws ALSO stripped. I managed to get one out, but the other one was stuck, and even the Genius at Apple said they couldn't do anything for me because their methods of extraction could possibly ruin my upper case.
So I ended up just cutting the rest of the HDD cord around the last remaining stuck screw. I've included a picture below, the screw that remains is the one with the red circle around it.
So the real question: I lost the other screw, so I have no idea what size it is and if I can buy it from a local hardware or electronics store, or is it something I will need to special order?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Screwed by a simple harddrive replacement

Hey Courcoul, thanks for your response. I saw that they have the screw set, but I want to avoid paying $60 for the whole set when all I need is the two tiny ones. Sure, I could keep the rest as spares, but I think I've learned my lesson about messing with the internals.
Actually, it's out of stock so I couldn't buy it if I wanted

What Specific Firewall Rules are Needed for the DPM Server?

Hello,
We want to confirm which firewall ports need to be opened on the DPM server (not protected servers) for all DPM processes, so that we can set these rules in group policy. Below are what we
think are the needed rules. Note that we have rules for both new DPM 2012 installs and upgrades from DPM 2010 to 2012, since these use different program paths.

Questions:
Are any of these rules not needed?
We know the Agent Coordinator rules are needed on protected servers. Are they also needed on the DPM server (including if we use secondary DPM servers)?
The DPM Configuring Firewalls TechNet page says DCOM uses TCP 135 and the RPC Dynamic ports. Does that mean we also need a rule that opens all TCP RPC Dynamic ports for
any program? Or is this not necessary since we have rules for msdpm.exe and dpmra.exe? Reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh757794
What other rules may be missing, if any?
Note that we do not include rules for ports 53 (DNS), 88 (Kerberos), 389 (LDAP), 137-139 & 445 (NetBIOS) because we already open these ports in other group policy objects.
Also, the below forums post says two exceptions for SQL Server are needed on the DPM server to allow the Remote Administrator console to work. Is there any documentation in the DPM TechNet site on these rules?

Thanks,

Does anyone have any comments on this post? We would especially appreciate some input from Microsoft reps to help us ensure we're setting up the correct firewall rules.

What antivirus protection do I need for the iPad?

I am seeing some unusual activity after receiving an email. What antivirus protection should we be considering for the ipad2?

None - there are no viruses for the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch), and therefore there are no antivirus apps available in the iTunes App Store

As you can see in these values top and down are overlapping.
I tried several ways to sort the query on the fields and have some logic, but I am always getting one row extra which is not overlapping.
Can someone please give me the logic to get the desired result through conditions in Procedure/function/package

Why is my hard drive not performing at the maximum Sata II speed? MBP mid-2010 (macbook pro 7,1)

I have a question pertaining to the factory hard drive in this Macbook pro mid-2010 that i have. Currently my system profiler is showing that I am using only 1.5 GB/s of the maximum 3.0 GB/s allowed in the SATA II controller. below are a couple of copy and pastes of the information on my Apple product. Any help would be much appreciated before i have to go to the genius bar and battle it out with them. I am using the operating System: Lion OS X 10.7.2

What megapixel size shots are needed for a calendar?

I have a Canon that shoots 3.2 megapixel shots, 2048 x 1536, and when I place these in single, double or even triple layout pages I get a yellow exclamation mark and this message over the photo: "This photo may print at too low a quality."
What size images does Apple expect us to have for their calendar pages? Is there a chart that lists the size of images for all the layouts (single image through to seven images)?
Do I need a new camera?
Many thanks, Mike

Mike:
I've ordered calendars with photos from a camera with a max pixel size of 1600 x 1200 and was very happy with the results. iPhoto's print warning is set at 140 dip (not sure if it's for ordering prints or items other than books which is 180.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Is it possible to disable Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz and only use 5 GHz for testing new wireless installations? (Lion, MBP Mid 2010)

Hi,
I already read that it was not possible to switch off either 2.4ghz or 5ghz radio in the year 2009. Is it in the meantime possible? I would like to test some new wireless installations on Co-channel interference.

AHT on the disks is unreliable and can't be updated to match firmware and drivers changes in OS X updates, so don't even bother with it.
If your Mac is a more recent model, you can boot the machine while holding the D key down until something appears on the screen, but you have to be near your Wifi or on Ethernet connection to the router/modem as AHT is downloaded from Apple's servers.
If your machine is having a problem, take it to a Apple Authroized Repair or Store and they will hook it up to their diagnostic machine for free.
No problem.
And you can install as many OS X versions on one machine as you like, as long as it's a Mac.
OS X 10.5 is obsolete and insecure, OS X 10.6 and later are getting security updates.
OS X 10.6 has Rosetta and will run your PPC based programs of 10.5.
OS X 10.7 and later version will not run Rosetta or PPC code, unless you install OS X 10.6 Server (it's legal) into a virtual machine program.
Download the free MacTracker and it can tell you everything about your particular model of Mac and what operating systems it will run.

Determine preferred size to be set for the JPanel attached to JScrollBar

Determine what preferred size to be set for the JPanel attached to JScrollBar.
Hello all, I am having a JPanel, where new components will be added into it during run-time. When there are too many components inside the JPanel, I need to re-set the JPanel preferred size so that the JScrollBar is scrollable.
I was wondering what is the good method to determine the preferred size of JPanel during runtime?
Currently, I am using
myJPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(
numberOfNewComponent * preferred width of each component,
numberOfNewComponent * preferred height of each component
));Is there any better alternative?
Thank you very much.
yccheok

Usually a container such as JPanel will calculate its own preferred size from its layout manager - calling setPreferredSize is often unnecessary.
When you add a component to your JPanel its preferred size will change automatically.
What's wrong with the behaviour when you simply add your JPanel to a JScrollPane and let it manage its own preferred size?
Hope this helps.

What size of drive do I need for the Recovery System? Can I use a USB flashdrive?

If you're talking about just the Recovery HD, you only need 1GB so use a 4GB USB thumb drive and the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant to create it.
If you're talking about the ML installer (installESD.dmg) use an 8GB USB thumb drive.

If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

Help needed for THE decision

Hi everyone ☺
I’m finally planning to start recording what I play, and after some hours of wandering on the web I found some interesting possibilities. Now what I need is to decide which one is more suitable for my needs, and here comes the moment for apple discussions
Basically, I will record my own music one track/instrument at a time (I’m still not able to play more than one…and I dont’ want to spend 2.000$ to buy a 24-ins device just to record drum tracks), I’d like to have a software with built-in effects for guitar/bass/voice, integrated soundtrack possibilities (to play with video recordings), mixing options for both stereo and surround mixing, and I don’t want any card to be placed into my mac. Well, and obviously the sound quality must be pro-like…as anyone probably wants.
So, here’s what I came up with:
a) getting logic pro studio 8 and apogee duet
b) getting pro tools m-powered and mbox 2
c) getting one of the two softwares and a Monster iStudioLink Instrument cable and plug instruments directly into the mac
Now, the questions are:
if I can plug an instrument directly into my mac and control all parameters via one of the two softwares, what do tools like duet and mbox2 serve for?
In the case this tools are useful [ ☺ ], why ☺ … and which is the couple software/hardware that can best suit my needs?
I assume that every software has a proprietary file extension in which audio tracks are saved, so that it should be impossible to record an audio track with one software and edit it with another that has different functions/plugins (ex. from logic to pro tools, from pro tools to cakewalk sonar which I have on a pc etc.). Am I right, or is there any “standard”, non compressed high quality file type in which track can be saved and exported to be edited with different softwares?
I know that from this post it may easily seem that I’m a hopeless digital idiot, but I swear the situation is not really that bad so no need for the kind of explanations with drawings like the ones you find in the “for dummies” guides lol so every experts’ advice will be greatly appreciated

Thank you Bee Jay and Pancenter for the lighting-fast and useful answers
now I am aware that an interface IS NEEDED lol (that means they are not produced without a reasons, are they?). I know Pro Tools is the industry standard but I don't like anyone/anything to tie me to their choices/interests (so that's why I was asking about Pro Tools, knowing that there's some sort of "hardware threat"). What I look for is just quality and if I understood what you both mean, as far as this aspect is concerned, Logic and Pro Tools are substantially comparable...isn't it? On the interfaces side, I already checked the Saffire ones (they seem quite good, and cross-platform use is definitely a plus), I will check the others mentioned and will let you know In fact, I didn't consider the "platform problem" but, as I wrote, I also own a PC with an Audigy 2 soundcard (midi/analog/optical/digital inputs/outputs and firewire port...not Madonna's private studio, but not as sad as Mac's little hole) and Sonar 6 Producer Edition, so that has been a really good point to ponder. And now, in the middle of this software/hardware battle...any personal suggestions based on tests/personal experience?

What screw size do I need for the HDD data cable in 15" MBP (mid-2010)?
