AMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Macbook Pro 2.5 GHz intel Core 2 Duo 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM OS Version 10.5.8
i connected the hard drive through the Hard Drive enclosure (OWC Mercury Elite -AL Pro) and my laptop is not recognizing the hard drive. i've also tried with PC and still same.
any experience with one of these drives in a MBP?
Newegg has a 640GB one on sale for $65.98 through 7/25.
For $65, I would like to double the size of my current HDD (even though it's 7200RPM).
There seem to be a few reports of problems running 750gb F1 Spinpoints with Nvidia chipsets. Does this apply to us with the 8800 or is it a Windows thing?
Anyone out there happily running a MacPro (08) with an 8800 and F1 spinpoints?
Which one of these 500gb drives is better? I've been browsing Newegg for two hours now reading reviews. The Seagate drives seem to come with bad firmware that causes performance and cache recognition issues. The Samsung drives have a high failure rate. Whats the real deal? Has anyone here had any bad experiences with either drives?

Finally took the plunge and switched from PC to the 24" IMac and couldn't be happier except. I bought the Samsung SCX-4500 laser printer/scanner (you know the pretty shiny black one) and when i click the scan to pc button, it doesn't scan anything. I know its not the printer because I had it hooked up to my PC and it scanned no problem. So it must be something with the IMac. I have installed the drivers for scanning too.

I get an error when I try to actually do a Send Via > Bluetooth on the phone itself (e.g. a picture); but I can "Browse Files..." in Bluetooth File Exchange, though the folders are empty when they DO have contents in them, so I basically can't retrieve any contents from my phone at all. Any help?

I thought it would be pretty straight forward connecting my mbp to my lcd samsung. I'm using a belkin hdmi to dvi, and after I connect and select the input on the tv, all I see is the original os x background on the tv. Ao at least I am seeing something and the cable seems to be working, but that's all I see. I can't get anything else to display. When I watch instruction videos people just seem to get the whole desktop with dash and everything to display right after connecting.

I am trying to hook up a Mac book Pro purchased in Sept to a Smssung LCD TV purchased in Sept. I fet the computer display onthe TV but no sound. I have no sound-cables but apparently the newer Prod do not need them? The one lead goes from the Mac to the HDMI 1.

new Samsung Plasma television and have not been successful in attempting to connect my MacBook Pro to it. Here's what I've done thus far. I'm not sure of what the port is called on my MacBook, but I regularly use it at work to connect to a separate monitor so I know it works. I believe it's some type of DVI port but I know it's not a mini-dvi because I initially bought a mini-dvi adapter and that didn't fit the port. But I've got an adapter that plugs into that port, and converts to DVI. Then a second adapter that converts DVI to HDMI. Then I have a HDMI to HDMI cable that connects to my tv.

I received a Samsung SyncMaster XL2270 as a gift. I would like to use it as a desktop monitor for my macbook when at home, but the driver included with the monitor is not mac compatible.
I am trying to connect my macbook to my Samsung LCD TV. The TV is Samsungs 3 series, and has 2 HDMI, audio, optical, RCA and PC input. I hooked up the video via the display port-HDMI and used the HDMI 1 port on my TV. It looks great. I tried my 3.5 audio cable to plug into the audio input on the TV. No luck. The audio input seems to correspond to that PC input so I'm guessing that I have to use the PC input in order to get the audio to work as well. Is this accurate? If so does anyone recommend an audio connection type that would work? Maybe I'll just run to Best Buy to get a 3.5 audio cable to RCA.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just purchased a Samsung T260, and hooked it up to my Macbook with the cable provided by Newegg. The monitor is calling for a resolution of 1900x1200, (I found the maximum macbook resolution is 1920x1200), but when I go to Preferences > Displays, the maximum available resolution is only 1600x1200. I searched and found that the maximum resolution for VGA on the macbook is only 1600x1200, I'm assuming this is the problem, is it likely that they included a VGA cable instead of a DVI cable and this is restricting my max resolution? If so, do I just need a DVI-D cable and then more resolution options will show up on the display options? Also, any links for the proper cable?
I did a google and MGoogle search but had trouble wading through all the previous threads.In order to connect my MacBook Pro (specs in signature) to my Samsung 40" HDTV, I need the following:
- DVI-HDMI Adapter
- HDMI Cable
- Audio cable - What type? Is this plugged into the headphone jack on the MPB and where on the TV?
Also, what do I need to know/do on the computer in order to ensure the picture and sound is on the TV. Do I need to switch any settings or is it as simple as plug it in and away you go. I'd like to purchase these cables today after work and since I'm nowhere near a Mac store can they be bought at BestBuy, The Source, or somewhere similar?
i just bought a DVI to HDMI cable, to plug my macbook pro to my big samsung tv. I successfully connected them to eachother, but there was only 1 problem which ruins the whole experience. There are weird fuzzy colours all around the screen and is almost impossible to see anything.
Here you can see the DVI cable plugged in the MBP:
And on the tv screen everything looks messed up:
this is a brand new cable so i don't think it would be the problem, im only afraid maybe my DVI input would be broken.
I am using a rocketfish thunderbolt to HDMI dongle, HDMI cable to the TV. The TV seems to recognize that something is connected, but the message on the screen still says no signal. I've tried the various HDMI inputs as well as the HDMI/DVI input. I use the same HDMI cable to connect to the iPad to the tv without problems.
My Macbook shows "Samsung" under displays, so the machine is connecting to the tv. Could this be a firmware issue on my TV? The TV is approx 3 years old. This is part of the reason I bought this machine

I'm going to be getting a replacement screen for my MBP so I'm curious if there is a difference between the two screens. With both work on my MBP or should I swap whatever the original is only? Any benefits of one over the other?
View 22 Replies View RelatedI have a 2.4 GHz Aluminum MacBook which I'm trying to connect to a Samsung T220HD LCD monitor/TV.
I'm using the Mini Display to VGA adaptor.
I know the adaptor works b/c I can connect it to another external monitor at my work.
When I connect the MB to the monitor, the MB sees it b/c "Syncmaster" shows up after I detect displays. However, nothing shows on the T220HD screen. Sometimes, the LCD simply says, "There is no device connected."
So I purchased the VGA adapter to hook up my MacBook to my Samsung 22" LCD.
Everything works great, but every 30 minutes or so, my Samsung "loses" its signal with my MacBook, goes black, then the connection is detected again and it's restored. I see the "Analog" icon flash in the corner of the LCD once the signal (OH FK ME there it goes again) comes back.

Following another thread on an O2 forum (going to system preferences, networks etc.), I think I got most of the way there, but after attempting to connect it disconnects and says that it can't connect properly (sorry I can't remember the exact message, I'll check again later and put it on here).
I'm looking calibrating my SyncMaster 206BW with my New UMBP. I realize that its going to be a little off because the screens are two different types.

I just popped a 256GB Samsung SSD into my (old) PowerBook Pro1,1 2.16Mhz machine.
I used the disk utility to properly partition the drive (1 partition) and set the Scheme to GUID Partition Table successfully. Verified the drive and the disk utility seems to like it.
I restarted with the install DVD (10.5.7 from a "13-inch Mac OSX Install Disk" - 9J3050) and it still gives me the old, "You cannot install Mac OS X on this volume"
So... the OS is newer than the one that shipped with the machine, and the partition table is correct... what gives?
how to install a Samsung CLX-3185FW to print wirelessly? I have downloaded the drivers from the Samsung site which enable me to print via USB and also to connect the printer to the home wireless. On a MACBook Air I've managed to install the printer using the IP address. I can then print from the MacBook Pro by sending it through the MBAir as the printer shows up as connected to the MBAir. However, when I try to install the printer to the MBPro using the IP address I'm told that Apple doesn't have the necessary software. Consequently, I'm unable to print directly from the MBPro to the printer.
