  • Where Can I buy a, external portable hard drive in MANILA?

    Good day.
    I am from the Philippines. I am thinking of buying an external portable hard drive for my ibook. Where in Manila can I buy this? What store? and what brand do you suggest? Should i get firewire or usb?
    Thanks...

    You can find them at numerous online retailers - model is Western Digital WD20NPVX and the spec sheet is  http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/SpecSheet/ENG/2879-771439.pdf
    Amazon has them for about $160 - again, they are too thick to fit in any Mac laptop though.  And I seriously doubt you will find a 2.5" 2TB drive for $100 - that size has only recently even become available.

  • External floppy disk drives for the new iMac?

    I'm trying to move a whole slew of files I created on a Macintosh from a longtime back--the original Mac--and they are all saved on floppy disks. I recently bought a Sony MPF88E not knowing it didn't work with the new Leopard OS. Are there any external floppy drives out there that do work with the new OS?

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    I just dug out my +TEAC FD-05PUB+ (which I originally bought for an iMac DV running OS 9.0.4!). It works fine* on my Aluminium Intel iMac 2.8GHz.
    I'm not sure why the Sony wouldn't work. Does it appear in System Profiler and/or Disk Utility?

  • Where can i buy an thunderbolt to video adapter for my macbook pro i7?, where can i buy an thunderbolt to video adapter for my macbook pro i7?

    I recently upgraded my macbook pro 1,1 to a macbook pro i7 i had a dvi-i to video adapter to connect it to the tv.
    the new macbook i7 uses thunderbolt to connect, i bought a dvi-d to thunderbolt connection to bridge with the old adapter but this now doesnt work.
    is there a thunderbolt to video adapter? or can anyone suggest a proper way to connect the two?

    The only Thunderbolt display I'm aware of is Apple's.  However, the Thunderbolt port on your MBP is also a mini-displayport and that is the normal way of connecting an external display to your MBP.  You therefore need a mini-displayport to whatever you need on the TV end, e.g. HDMI.  Apple have a good selection of cables on their online store.

  • Where Can i buy a Brand New Logic Board for my Macbook Pro?

    My Macbook Pro (Mid 2010 13") logic board got fried, so i was just wondering if possible, where i could get a new logic board. Also, would the new 2011 i7 logic board (if purchasable), for the 13" as well be compatible with the chassis/body of my mac?

    Apple would be the main supplier of any replacement parts.

  • Floppy Disk Drive for Mavericks

    Hello
    Does anyone know of an FDD for a mavericks mac? I would like to create boot disks for an old mac. Is this a good method to consider? I am not sure how else to go about this. If there is an alternative, whatever it might be, please let me know.
    I apologise for posting here but this relates to older machines in a way.
    Thanks in advance.

    The original system for a PowerBook 2400c/180 was 7.6.1. Other supported systems (according to Apple's technical specifications) were 8, 8.1, 8.5, 8.6 and 9. You would need to purchase an appropriate Apple system CD. Ensure that it is a retail disc (for all models), not a disc for a certain (other) machine.
    You can use one of the Apple CD-ROM drives above, providing that you have the proper HDI-30 cable. See the manual for details about connecting SCSI devices and about booting from a CD.
    If necessary, and if the already installed operating system is working (and you can navigate the Japanese menus), you should at least be able to create a Disk Tools PPC floppy on the PowerBook. Use the Disk Copy 6.3.3 program (the Make a Floppy command under the Utilities menu) for this. I assume that you have the external floppy disk drive for the PowerBook.

    http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English -North_American/Macintosh/Utilities/Disk_Copy/Disk_Copy_6.3.3.smi.bin
    One may also want to try to modify a Disk Tools PPC to hold CD-ROM software, thus allowing a CD to be read when the computer is running from the floppy disk system.
    Additionally, since the computer in question has PC Card slots, an inexpensive PC Card adapter for CompactFlash and a CompactFlash memory card can be very useful for file transfers. In certain PowerBook models, such a CompactFlash card (reformatted to Mac) can even act as a startup disk (if it has an appropriate system folder).

  • I want to upgrade leopard os 10.5.8 to snow leopard and then maybe to lion. Where can I buy a sow leopard disk?

    Help,
    I have a MacBook Pro and would like to upgrade the OS.
    My system is 2-3 years old and came with Leopard -
    It is up to date with Version 10.5.8 and has a 2.5 GHZ Intel Core 2 duo processor
    I have 4GB  667MHZ DDR2 SDRAM memory.
    I want to update to Snow Leopard and then maybe Lion.....
    It appears my systems is to old to update online. So where can I buy a Snow Leopard disk/s. My local Best Buy does not carry the disk update anymore. Where can I get the disk?
    Not to happy with my MAC right now ............. It seems to be poorly supported by APPLE.  Am I missing something   ?
    Jimmy

    You apparently missed my response.
    It can also be found by entering "Store" under the Apple home page, and typing "snow leopard" in the search window.

  • External floppy disk drive

    I have an HP F1059C External Floppy Disk Drive by TEAC that came with a (really) old HP laptop. I have some old research saved to floppy disks I need to access.  Is there a cable that will convert my External drive to a USP port on my present  HP laptop with Windows 8?  Do  I need a new driver?
    Thanks 
    Oxford Designer

     Thank you Dean Huffy. Yes, I recall it was an omnibook.  I loved the compactness of the thing.  And it had enough heft one could throw it like a brick at someone's head if they made fun of it.   Your advice alone is worth the $30 and elegant in its simplicty. 
    If you have the patience, I would add another permutation to my situation.   After the Omnibook's monitor went dark the files were tranferred via it's floppy drive to its desktop successor, for which I ordered a redundant floppy drive for that purpose.  There it rested, with some updates, but unbidden for the past five years until the desktop crashed and I replaced it with the present laptop.  I took the two units to my local computer repair person who neatly transferred most if not all the contents of the former to the latter, EXCEPT THAT, when I try to open the one, much coveted file, I get a message "cannot convert password protected documents".  Okay, so had so much regard for the file I put a password on it, but I can't even get to a point where I can enter a password; and following the Windows advice to "Open and Repair" seems to have no impact.  
    The bottom line is, I am most grateful for your advice on how to recover the file as of 2001 from an old back-up floppy , but would be even more grateful if I can recover the file through its 2009 updates now on my harddrive (and perhaps a back-up CD.)
    Thank you, again.

  • Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

    Does anybody knows where can i buy a replacement AC power cable for my cinema display 27"?

    It may not be the same molded plug but I would think any normal 3-prong computer power cable should work.
    How about this one?
    922-6529 Power Cord - Apple Cinema Display
    I've always had the theory that if you put two computer power cords in a drawer they will breed and you'll end up with a lot more!   My parts drawer is always full of them.  They like to knot up by themselves as well!  Maybe that's how they breed.

  • I need a floppy disk drive for old 3 1/2" disks. I have a PowerBook G4 Mac with MacOS X 10.4 operating system. What will work for me?

    I need a floppy disk drive for old 3 1/2" disks. I have a PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4 operating system. What external drive will for for me?

    Hi,
    Providing that the old 3.5" floppies are 1.44 MB HD disks, you should be able to use a USB floppy drive.
    However, if the disks are 2DD/DSDD in the 800K Mac format a USB drive is not going to work. In this case you would need a suitable semi-old Macintosh computer with a built-in floppy drive as an intermediary.

  • Where can I download Intel (R) Display Audio driver for HP Compaq L2206tm?

    Hi,
    I am using an Elitebook 820G1 with an external monitor HP Compaq L2206tm.
    The monitor is also not showing up in Sounds>Playback as of now.
    But when it does show up in Sounds, it can play sound from the laptop.
    Problem is sometimes after reboot or wake up from sleep, the monitor drops off from the Sounds panel.
    I tried uninstalling Intel (R) display audio driver from Device Manager, and then do a scan for hardware changes to reintall the driver, I get a message "Device driver software was successfully installed."
    May I know where can I download Intel (R) display audio driver for HP Compaq L2206tm / Elitebook 820G1?
    And what can I do to keep the monitor stay on the Sounds panel?
    Please help, I have googled endless with no results.

    Thank you Paul.
    I'm downloading the driver as I write.
    Hopefully HP will update their page and correct the link soon

  • Can i get an external disk drive for my MacBook 5,1

    My disk drive on my MacBook 5,1 (model #A1278) is bust. It will not accept a dvd/cd at all, it won't let it in...not an inch!  seems like it's stuck in eject? as if there is a disk inside but as far as i know there is not.  Nothing i have tried makes any difference.  So i am wondering if i can buy an external disk drive, but this info is not obvious to me on the Apple Store website!

    Probably pretty much any one would as long as it can be connected to your Macbook with USB or Firewire or what it has.  Read the fine print when it refers to system requirements.  In most cases that refers to bundled software which you probably don't need.  Usually if there's OS limits for Macs it's something like you must be running OSX 10.2 or newer.
    I would start looking on a site such as www.mac-sales.com which caters for Mac users so you can be assured their stuff is compatible.  You can get something pre-assembled or you can buy an enclosure and a drive separately and assemble them yourself.  My preference would be for one where the drive is powered independently, though that does tie you down to an outlet.  On the other hand with an external drive you're not going to be walking around the room.
    I guess one Mac compatibiltiy issue would be if the drive is bootable.  Not all third party drives can boot your Mac should the need arise.  I'm not so familiar with Macbooks that I am up to date on this and this might be one thing you could ask the vendor (and a reason for going with a vendor who knows Macs).

  • Where can i buy a new MSI Fan 8cm for HD5770?

    Hi Team!
    I would like to ask where can i buy a new 8cm fan for my 5770 VGA card?
    Although the card is still under warranty, but the Hungarian dealer guarantees the absence of a sticker, he can not receive and send the MSI Central service!? My client is still the original box it preserved and of course those are on the sticker, but it does not accept?! :( What can do? The fan fell apart the bearing section! Stuck on you can not because it is a plastic bushing is molded / manufactured!
    If need the picture i able to send it so please somebody able to help me?
    Here is the card data from the orig. box:
    912-V214-005
    R5770-PMD1G
    S/N: 602-V214-02SB0912072xxx

    Link about the card:
    w w w.geeks3d.com/20091216/msi-radeon-hd-5770-pmd1g-with-over-voltage-function-of-gpu
    Thx for the support!
    Bye,

    You dont have to do anything. I gave you a potential suggestion to one solution.
    Contact MSI technical and ask them. If the card is under guarantee, they may ask you to send it in and you will probably get a refurbished card.
    Your choice to weigh up the costs of sending the card in for repair, buying a new card or considering an aftermarket cooler.
