Will I loose the warranty if I change the hard drive?

hey everybody
i'm intersted in buying a macbook pro and would like to replace the biult-in hard drive by a SSD.
will this affect the warranty?

Of course your new SSD won't be covered by Apple (it will be covered by the manufacturer). You should hold on to your original hard drive just in case you ever need to send your machine into Apple for service. It is not uncommon for them to replace the hard drive when servicing the machine... even when it would seem there was no reason to do so. They typically will not send the old drive back to you. You wouldn't want them to keep your nice SSD.

How in the HECK can I change my Hard Drive icon??!??!!

I've tried searching these discussion forums for how to do this, but the question has always remained unanswered! Does ANYbody know how to use this? I'd buy applecare but I'm a student and can't afford it. Would somebody please figure out how to make it so that you can paste a new icon on top of the standard icon for 10.3.9? It's driving me crazy that after I copy the icon I want to use for my hard drive that I can't paste it on top.
And I've tried doing a permissions repair in Disk Utility.
400 MHz PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

That's how other people do it, HVlaar; it's the standard procedure. Works fine for me. Are you logged into an admin account? Have you considered that changing your hard drive icon probably isn't an important thing to do anyway?

If you upgrade from 10.6 to 10.7/10.8 yes there is a risk you can lose your files if something goes wrong requiring a erase and install to fix it.
Your PPC programs will not work in 10.7/10.8
Mac's earlier than a Early 2011 machine shouldn't really upgrade to 10.7/10.8 due to slow performance issues.
If you Software Update from say 10.6.3 to 10.6.8, there is less risk, but possible.
You should make backups regardless, a 10.6 clone and extra copies of files on a external drive.

When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. How can I resolve this?

Question
When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. When I swap to private browsing firefox allows me to anter the website address directly into the location bar - but this is a slow [prcess to swap back and forth - also by dint of using private browsing I loose my website information.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Here's how to:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your ipod to your computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.

Will someone please tell me how to change the name of a folder I created in Pages and saved to the cloud?

Will someone please tell me how to change the name of a folder I created in "Pages" and saved to the "Cloud"? Thanks.

Go to the open dialog in Pages and select iCloud.
Click on the folder that you created on iCloud to open the folder.
On the lower half of the window (the open folder) click on the name of the folder.
Once you click and select the folder's name it should be editable.

I login in ftp server, but my session will be closed very soon, can i change the ftp session time in mozila?

I login in my ftp server by use of Mozila browser, but my session will be closed very soon, can i change the ftp session time in mozila?

Do you mean you browse the FTP server in a tab? That usually works for anonymous FTP downloading, but if your server requires a login, it might not work well because Firefox doesn't do anything special to keep the session alive.
Would you consider using an add-on such as FireFTP? It's a traditional FTP client that runs in a tab.

so I've changed my hard drive for an ssd and now I've been told to enable trim ? now I've got the apple cover will they show me how to enable it with out some program of the internet ?

Use an app called chameleon ssd optimizer.
I enabled trim with it after almost a year of having installed a Samsung 840 pro SSD and my read/write speeds almost quadrupled.
I would definite;y advise using it even though Samsung SSD's come with there own garbage disposal.
Hope that helps.

Even with Apple Configurator most of the settings cannot be locked, and that includes the language settings. Most schools and organizations seem to just accept that they'll have to reconfigure the iPads on a regular basis.

Make the device a favorite.
Also, I would reset the PRAM and SMC.

In Dreamweaver 6, I created a new fluid layout. I set up (4) DIVs. In the 3rd div, I changed the font color. The new color shows up on the website when viewed in my computer desktop, but, when viewed in a tablet and a cell phone, the color of the font does not change. It's the same in Dreamweaver's Live view. It shows the new color on Desktop view and not in the cell phone or tablet view. Also, I changed the font itself in one of the DIVs and it shows up in the new font on the desktop view and website viewed thru the computer, but, not on the tablet or cell phone. Can someone please explain. I want to be able to change the fonts and colors for viewing in the tablet and cell phone, also. The fonts were all standard fonts. Sans-erif and Verdana and Arial were tried. Thanks.

I will lock this discussion because of duplicate post.
