My current Mac is backed up with an iomega Mini Max HD. Via FireWire I'm concidering buying a New Mac Book which I've heard does not have a FireWire conextion..... If I connect the Mini Max via the USB2 will it still work or do I have to look for an "Older" MacBook with
I'm looking to buy an Iomega Minimax to compliment my MacMini but a key question someone who owns it already might be able to answer;
I've had issues in the past with external HDs not powering down after a short while of not being accessed, I leave my mini on the whole time and it's in my bedroom so it's important it spins down after a period of non use but can auto spin back up when required. Does it do this successfully?
lately the thumb wheel "rubber strip" has worn down, to the point where it's very difficult to use it. I want to pull this mouse apart to fix this issue - I'm just wondering if anyone has done this already and may be able to save me some grief.
I managed to spill a beverage onto my keyboard last night Now I have a sticky spacebar. I've done it to other keyboards before and taken them apart for a good (tedious) cleaning key by key, can this be done with the new alu keyboard before I start hacking it apart?
My PowerBook G4 (specs in the bottom, except 250 GB drive) HDD is failing. It is the standard 80 GB one that came with the notebook. I have a 250 GB WD scorpio ready to go in, but I have a couple of questions. First of all, if I use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my existing disc to the new WD scorpio by using a PATA drive enclosure (USB 2.0), will it boot once put in the notebook? Does it need to be a firewire enclosure to be able to boot? Second, what is the average life of the original Hitachi drives (80 GB) that were put in this model of PowerBook. This is the 1.33 GHz model with the superdrive 4x. I just want to know what to do before I disassemble it.
I need to get at the hard drive in a dead 2002 iMac G4 (the "dome" type). Can anyone point me to a disassembly guide anywhere online? I've taken the bottom plate off, but if there's an easy trick to separating the monitor from the base before you do that, I'd like to know
I'm attempting to get at my screen, but I'm stuck. I have removed the 2 hex screws at the bottom of the screen casing. Now I how do I pry off the case?
So I need to take apart my MBP and will need a tri wing screwdriver...BUT I don't own one. Is there a B&M store that sells these? I googled and honestly couldn't find anything but online shops. I live in California, so if anyone knows stores here that sell them, that would be great. Also, if there's any other "normal" screwdrivers that would get the job done just as well, I'd like to know about em.
I am trying to anodize my alluminum Macbook unibody that I just got and I have begun disassembling it. In order to anodize or electroplate the aluminum, it must be stripped down to pure metal. No cable, wires, boards, nothing. THe bottom half of the computer with the motherboard and keyboard I have succesfully gutted. The top half, however, I am having no such luck with. I need to remove the hinge/lcd/display assembly from the aluminum back cover. I have searched everywhere online and can find nothing. Ifixit does not go that far. The youtube video by this other company shows the Macbook Pro display and hinge magically come off, but they do not share how [URL].
If there's a thread on this, feel free to close this one, but I searched and couldn't find anything. I need a guide on how to remove the display casing on a unibody MBP with an anti glare screen. Specifically, how to remove the actual top shell, where the Apple logo is. The LCD panel itself, I don't need to take apart. Is this possible? If someone has a link to a guide, that would be awesome.
I've been looking for a guide on how to disassemble my Early 2008 Mac Pro, yet I can not find anything. Does anyone know where I could find one because I am trying to add another sata hard drive but the plastic casing is in the way.
