So when I go to configure an iMac, apple wants to charge me $600 for a 1TB ATA Hard Drive + 256 Solid State. I'm pretty sure that's way over priced, and am not sure why apple is charging that much. If I just buy an iMac with the minimum memory can I install my own Hard Drive and SSD?

View 24 Replies View RelatedI purchased a new intel ssd and am having trouble setting it up. First I backed up my entire system using time machine to my time capsule. I inserted the ssd and used the mac osx install disc. I partitioned the ssd. At this point I went into utiities and selected restore from backup. I selected my backup source then selected the backup date and time. The next screen is the problem. It is called select a destination. It just says searching for disks but never does anything else.

I want to install a SSD (preferably 512 GB) in my mid 2011 27in iMac. The local Apple Authorized Service Center tech said, "Apple has not released the mounting kit needed for correctly installing the drives"
It's hard for me to believe that Apple would not think that people would want to upgrade their Macs after purchase. I'm not one for "hack" jobs and I heard that without the proper connectors the fan will go into overdrive and I don't want that.

I have a 1.83 ghz intel mac mini. it has a busted internal cd drive, i use a sony dl dvd burner and 2 external hard drives. I have a retail copy of snow leopard. In the instructions, the guide says sl will install from an external optical drive. Heres what I have tried so far.
Installing from external optical drive- when i try this it goes through the normal verifications, i agree to eula, when i get to the grey screen with spinning apple, after a few minutes a "no" sign pops up, like a no smoking sign and my computer restarts and takes me to the login screen.
I thought maybe it was a disk space issues so i backed up, erased some items and freed up about 20 gb, giving me 30 gb of free disk space. tried again with installation and same thing happens.
next i went into disk utility and verified and repaired permissions, which was a lot, tried again and same thing. next i verified disk. disk is ok.
next i started thinking perhaps its the disk. so i tried to install sl on my moms unibody macbook. installation went fine, she is running 10.6 like a champ.
So then i decided to try a remote installation. i unplugged all usb devices, including the dvd burner and ran the remote install assistant. im using and ethernet cable connection, with the 2 computers plugged directly to each other, and i can browse both computers files from one another. when i restart the mini with the assistant running on the macbook, when i hold down option to select the start up device, the only option listed is starting from the mini's own hard drive and not the macbook.
I've tried everything i could think out with asking. But now i would really like some. If any one has any suggestions, i am all ears. Im gonna be heading for school now, and will respond with what ever I can after 10pm pacific.
I have an Intel iMac running under Lion 10.7.3. and cannot use FaceTime, which never worked anyhow, since it does not accept any of my 3 Apple ID's, which otherwise work perfectly fine. I uninstalled FaceTime assuming that there was a fault in it and tried to reinstall from the Apple Store, where it shows that I own a copy. But reinstall tells me that my OS X version is too new.

After I have updated Safari, the installed windows 7 was lost. Where can I find it? Do I have to re-install it again.

View 3 Replies View RelatedTwo of my USB printers failed to show up on my printer list. After trying several times to get them working, I switched them out for two other printers. I used the install CD and all went well but the two newer printers still didn't show up on my printer list. I click on "add printers" and only my Dymo label maker shows up. I've unplugged power and the USB cable and still nothing.

For an iMac 27" 3.06 GHZ (DDR3) late 2009 can I add a pair of 2x4GB RAM to the 2x2GB RAM that I already have installed (for a total of 12GB RAM)? They are matched pairs - I'm just not sure if each card has to be the same amount of RAM - in other words stick with 8GB or move up to 16GB.
