My Problem
Old battery had finally died so decided to replace and while we were at it, doubled the Ram.
My Fix
Smoothly.
My Advice
Laptop works like new, upgraded OS, etc. would recommend to anybody. Thanks
My Problem
SLOW COMPUTER RESPONCE.
My Fix
VERY GOOD.
My Advice
THERE WAS NOTHING TO IT.
My Problem
Needed more memory in Mac Mini
My Fix
The video made it easy. Memory is installed and greatly speeded up our old Mini
My Advice
You might want to add the comment in the video to assure the memory stick is fully inserted into the slot. That's the only thing we had an issue with and that was quickly fixed.
My Problem
I needed to upgrade because of the amount of space I needed for video processing and storage.
My Fix
As far as replacing the drive and memory it was a breeze, the only problem was Microsoft Office.
My Advice
I am running Lion and office 2011 so I don't know about other versions, when you clone the drive to the new drive, the license for office doesn't initialize properly. In order to have office function you need to have a "Product Key". Since mine was an upgrade from 2007, I didn't have a 2011 key, and subsequently I had to buy a replacement disk from Microsoft for $29.95.
My Problem
Need more Ram to efficiently run my DJ software
My Fix
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy
My Advice
If you are person who loves to save money, minimalist, does not want to replace my old Macbook because it works fine but need fine tuning to run my important software, living below my means, and happy with what I have kinda person! Then I recommend you just up grade your Ram/HD and you will be sitting pretty =)
My Problem
The fan on my MacBook was broken.
My Fix
Excellent! The guide on your site was simple and easy to follow!
My Advice
Just follow the guide! It's perfect.
My Problem
I needed to upgrade memory and I wanted to put a 2nd hard drive in a old Macbook Pro so I can use a SSD hard drive for the OS, and keep my 750Gb SATA drive for data.
My Fix
The memory upgrade was easy, having done it before. However, the SATA hard drive bay was the wrong one linked to the laptop / any repair articles. I had to get a RMA which was really quickly and easily obtained. And the staff was very helpful finding me the right enclosure to order.
My Advice
Use Ifixit, they have always been great.
My Problem
Wirleless stopped working and could not load Adobe Elelements, or adiitional photos due to reaching limit on 200GB HD.
My Fix
The airport card instal was a breeze. The parts arrived Christmas Eve as hoped, and I followed the instructions on Christmas morning to instal the card. I was up and running witihin 30 mins and able to Skype my family again in England for Christmas! Fabulous!.
I installed the 2GB RAM laer that evening and it worked perfect. The hard drive was a litle more challenging. After using a Sabrent SATA/IDE HD adaper to clone my existing drive, I got an error that memory could not be allocated and was not recognizable. A quick Google search and investigation of various blog threads seemed to point to the problem being the specifc USB/Firewire used for the HD enclosure so I switched to a Nexstar dedicated SATA enclosure and it worked perfectly!! Now I have a "new" Macbook for Christmas with 3GB RAM and over twice as much storage than before!!!
My Advice
If swopping out HD's use a dedicated SATA HD enclosure. Seemed to work best for me in this case.
My Problem
I recently purchased my very first Mac product, a Macbook Pro Duo Core in perfect condition. It came with just 2gigs of RAM, so I ordered 6gigs of RAM from iFixit.
My Fix
It was painless. I had no problem installing the RAM and the machine now runs much better.
My Advice
iFixit rocks. Plain and simple. The ordering process was smooth, the product shipped quickly and arrived perfectly packaged. Keep up the good work guy & gals! Looks like I'll be needing a battery soon and guess who I will buy it from!
My Problem
My wife's Macbook was slow and the hard drive had issues. She didn't need a huge amount of drive space so I decided to go with a SSD. Maxed out the memory while I was at it.
My Fix
Easy as can be. Online guide was perfect and well illustrated. The computer now works like a champ and the speed is off the charts. She is ecstatically happy, which makes me happy... you know the adage.
My Advice
If you want speed, that is the way to go... Make sure you have the small phillips head screw driver. Easy as can be.
