If you have your phone connected to a wireless network in your house that could be why you can text as that will go through the home network first if connected. The first thing I would do is connect my phone to my computer and bring up iTunes and back up the phone and then RESTORE it. I had to do this to mine last night. If that works great. If not let us know and we can go from there. Good luck

According to; http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/... The socket should be able to take the upgrade and I know with the previous series of processors the iMac was able self determine which processor it had in it as far as speed. I have not updated an i3 to an i5/7 but based on what has been the past for the intel iMacs it sounds plausible. NOTE: the only ones we have seen were we needed to make a terminal entry to compensate was where putting in a core 2 duo in an iMac with an original core duo did not let us install Lion. It had to have a terminal entry before it would load Lion

The only time I have had a similar message come up it was when the iPod was very low on power and I put it on a charger for about three hours and came back and tried it again. It failed because my battery was dead but I think if your battery isn't dead two to three hours should be enough to get enough of a charge to restore.

Sorry for the delay. I looked at your pic's and it is the same as my drive. It is too long for the Mac laptops I have worked on. Most drives that will fit in the Macs cut off at the edge of the metal case and do not have that extension. Also I forgot to mention the cable on the Mac SATA connector can not attach to the drive because of the extra hardware. And I think if you look you will see slender pins coming out from the back of the drive over the board and those are not able to hook up to the cable.

Sorry to say the i7 CPU will not fit in the Core 2 Duo socket. The i7 uses 1366 pin socket and the Core 2 Duo only uses 775 pins. Ref: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/...

If the miniUSB port is mounted on a short HD mother board extension that extends about 1/2" behind the metal edge of the hard drive , the drive overall length is too long. I pulled mine apart about 6 months ago and found that the board was too long to fit the existing drive bays. If that doesn't sound like your drive please take a picture of it and put it on your posting and we can give you a better answer.

Just follow the following instructions: MacBook Core 2 Duo Hard Drive Replacement It is very easy on this machine

There are many places to try and find the parts. One is the site your on. http://www.ifixit.com/Mac-Parts/MacBook-Air-Model-A1304 If they do not have them you can try : DT&T Services 800-622-7977 http://www.dttservice.com another is: http://www.welovemacs.com I use them and have had luck finding most parts. Also you can try eBay for a parted out unit.

Try booting with your system CD and run disk utility. From there run Disk First Aid and tell it to repair. That would be the first thing to try. When you boot the computer hold down your mouse button to open the drive. Then reboot computer and hold down the C key to boot to CD/DVD.

The majority of the time I get a clients machine in that has a white/grey screen after trying to boot, It is almost always the hard drive has gone belly up. To test it is very easy. Pull the battery, undo three screws holding the memory/hard drive cover on, and pull out the hard drive from its storage location. Put new drive in the caddy and put it back in the computer and put the cover and battery back on. Power up computer and you will most likely see a symbol on the screen showing you do not have a system installed. Get you install disks and reload. The drive will run about $60 and the felling of doing it yourself: Priceless I would use a 2.5" SATA drive between 250-500 GB. Try and not get fancy. A Blue box Western Digital will work just fine (5400 RPM ) The black box is 7200 RPM but may not give the performance boost it would in a MacBook Pro.
