Will this fit in my white poly macbook?

Hi i am upgrading my white poly 2.1 GHz MacBook. I have a 120gb hdd, and want to make it a 500GB.
Will the Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500 GB fit in my MacBook?
Thanks

As long as it's a 2.5" SATA notebook drive that is not higher than 9.5 mm it will fit in your computer.

I need to upgrade my MacBook 13" white 2008 hard drive. I have found a WD6400BPVT western digital Scorpio blue 640GB (5400rpm) SATA 8MB 2.5" will this fit and work? Many thanks for any help

I had a 640GB HDD in my Early 2008 Macbook and it was just too much it would always freeze up the computer a bit for only a few seconds but ya. Then I realized that it was the size of the HDD that was causing it since the Early 2008 Macbook models can only handle a MAX od 500GB while the Early 2008 Macbook Pros could have a MAX of 640GB (Lucked out there!) lol But ya the Early 2008 Mocbooks can only handle a MAX HDD size of 500GB and that's it!! lol

Will this operating system kill my 2008 MacBook Pro?

I am working with the last operating system and it seems to have slowed this computer down considerably. Will this new Yosemite OS kill my MacBook Pro from 2008? I do not want to download anything that is going to slow this machine down anymore. It's already lethargic enough as it's configured now.

Time to do some serious house cleaning.
Empty the trash in the Dock as well as iPhoto’s trash!
Open up your application folder & go through all your apps. Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need. Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.). Or transfer/move them all to a photo/movie storage site like ImageShack and Photobucket, 2 of the most popular FREE storage sites.
Get rid of all your video & music files you no longer view and/or listen too. Especially, if you already have the actual CD/DVDs or you can later redownload from a website. Or transfer them all to a FREE video/movies and/or music storage site.
Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything. You can even trash directly from Spotlight! Better yet, download this FREE software called Find File. This app puts Spotlight to shame (works w/Mountain Lion).
Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash. Better yet, download this neat little shareware app *demo* called AppZapper. It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
Another software that does the above is AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!
Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs. Not everyone has the luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or the system requirements for iCloud to store their "stuff.”
Dropbox is a free storage utility to check out.
You can check with your ISP to see if they offer *free* storage space. Most if not all do now-a-days. There are thousands if not millions of *free* storage facilities on the web also. Use your favorite search engine to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
Check for duplicate fonts.
Applications>Font Book
Select “All Fonts”
If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + *click* to select multiple dotted fonts;
Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
Clear out font caches
Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s *FREE*.
Printer Drivers
Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your *current* printer(s)/scanner(s).
HD>Library>Printers Folder
If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
Garage Band
Has about 1GB of loops stored. Get rid of some some them. You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
Get rid of extra languages
Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
You can do this with a *FREE* utility called Monolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve never used it. However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).

Will this external drive work with my macbook?

I'm thinking about investing in an external hard drive, is this one compatible with my original Macbook Pro?
http://www.amazon.com/Iomega-Portable-External-Drive-34945/dp/B003D3NDD2
(side question, I've never used an external HD before. Will it just mount on my desktop and I drag and drop files?)
Thanks in advance.

Yes it will work . Most HD are preformated for windows machines so I would definitely reformat. More info: http://db.tidbits.com/article/10307
Might want to think bout partitioning if you have the space. Maybe one partiton is for making a bootable clone with carbon copy cloner. http://www.bombich.com/
I do not believe 10.4 is time machine capable- otherwise I would recommend that as well.
Backing up is a good strategy. Congratulations for making the step!
Yes drag and drop into your empty partition.
Hope this solves your problem

Will this memory be compatible with my macbook pro?

Hi, I am in need of a good ram for my MacBook Pro (2011, 2.3 i5)
I've checked amazon and saw this.
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-DDR3-Laptop-Memory-CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9/dp/tech-data/ B002YUF8ZG/ref=de_a_smtd
Will this be compatible with my mac?

RAM has specifications, you need to carefully match the specifications exactly and buy your RAM from a reliable source as to get the highest quality.
Just like most Merceedes only take high grade fuel, a Mac only prefers high quality RAM.
It's rather risky opening a Mac, damage to the screws and other things can occur on some models, so to reduce this possibility (and having to ship bad RAM back) you should choose a highly reliable vendor with tested top tier RAM.
You should also know exactly how to take the right steps to install RAM, wear anti-static protection, disconnect the power and other measures to safely install your RAM correctly the first time!
Many people buy RAM without realizing there is a slot limitation.
If they have 1.5 GB and two slots, they foolishly buy another 512MB RAM module to try to attain 2GB, when they actually need another 1GB module.
So with that I give you a link, I get no compensation, just use their "evaluator" to make sure you get the RIGHT RAM for your make and model of machine. If you don't want to buy from them that's perfectly fine, just get the right specs right the first time.

Will this fit my Mac

I will upgrade my Harddrive but I don't know if this one Seagate Momentus SpinPoint ST1000LM024 1 TB will work?
I got a Macbook Pro 13" medio 2009 150 GB.

No, capacity will have no effect on your MBP with the only exception that you will be able to store more data.
The only consideration you should contemplate is your backup strategy. If you use Time Machine, you really need a HDD that is at least the same size as the internal HDD in your MBP. This may require that you order a HDD for that application.
Ciao.

Can MacBook Pro Ram fit in a white 13" MacBook?

Hello there,
I have a Macbook Pro 15" (mid-2010) and my wife has a white Macbook 13" (mid to late 2008). I'm upgrading my 4GB ram to 8GB. Does anyone know if my ram can fit into my wifes MacBook?
Thanks,
Lorne

No, your Mac book Pro uses 204pin 1066mhz PC3-8500 RAM
The model 4,1 (Early 2008) White MacBook uses 200 pin 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM

Will this hard drive work with my macbook?

I have a late 2006 Core Duo Macbook. I was wondering if I could use this hard drive with my macbook, it's a 7200 rpm 200 gig hard drive. Btw I mean internal not external. Does the macbook have a limit on how big of a hard drive you can use? Would this hard drive work at 7200 rpm in the macbook?

Hi.
The drive will work perfectly in your macbook. Two weeks ago i was also thinking about buying the Hitachi Travelstar 7k200.
But afterwards i bought this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136123
The WD Scorpio 250GB. Off course it´s not as fast as the Travelstar. But for me three things we´re quiet nice about this harddrive: the noise (it doesn´t make anyone) and the price (got it for 150 euro) and it consumes way less power (means better battery life).
http://www.storagereview.com/WD2500BEVS.sr?page=0%2C7
BTW: It really doesn´t make any noise.
So just in case you´re still unsure whether to buy the Hitachi or anything else. But if you want the fastest notebook HD you can get today, buy the Hitachi.
Have a nice day and fun with your new HD!

Will this fit our needs?

We are a local startup hospice in Arizona.
We currently need about 9 Macs networked together. Services that must be supported: file sharing, internet, email, calendar, iChat, and printing.
We are looking at 6 iMac's, 2 MacBook's, 1 Mac Pro, 1 Airport. Does 1 Mac Pro have the ability to handle this load? In the future we would like to add more desktops, how many can a Mac Pro handle by itself? What's the best configuration for the Mac Pro? Is there a better choice for a server than a Mac Pro? Budget is not much of an issue.
Thanks,
Michael

You will need to setup Open Directory to use the iCal Server. Your Mac Pro would be the Open Directory master. From what I have read, it is a very good idea to have a 2nd OS X Server to act as an Open Directory backup. I have not used Open Directory yet, but I thought it would be worth mentioning this.

No, it will not void the warranty. Installing a new drive in a MacBook is a DIY project. Apple even provides a manual on how to do it.

I have Firefox OS X 10.5.8 ; will this continue to work on my MacBook

I have Leopard installed on my MacBook. Firefox says buy a new laptop to run a newer version of Firefox or have huge risk running Firefox on my Mac . I look to use the Mac another couple of years, with Firefox on it.

Hi ohlsonrick, Firefox 16.0.1 yes will continue to work but, you will no longer receive stability and security updates for Firefox.
see : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-mac-os-x-10-5 Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.5]
thank you
