I can't rename my hard drive.
When I try and rename the hard drive of my iMac, I get the message: "name... cannot be used. "Try using a name with fewer characters, or no punctuation." I know I'm trying to change my name is in the right format - not too many characters or punctuation.
I'm running OS X 10.11.4 on a 21.5 "iMac Late 2009 (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) with 8 GB of RAM.
Recently, I replaced the optical drive with an SSD, leaving the original 500 GB to 500 GB HARD drive. After you have installed the SSD, I used TechTool Pro 8 to clone the SSD HARD drive. I have now boot from SSD, and that is that I started to boot from the SSD I have this problem. If I boot from the HARD disk, which always has the operating system installed, I am able to change the name of the SSD, but not when booted from the SSD.
Thanks for any help!
I don't know why you may not be able to change the name, but it seems that you have a solution - just rename the SSD at the start of the HD.
You may want to try to start mode safe (from the SSD), and then restart normally and see that this clears the problem.

You can use an external hard drive with the Mac Mini?
I've seen videos that say that we cannot increase the ram on a min of Mac, but I'm curious if this works like an ordinary computer, if we can attach an external hard drive to store some of the memory to free up space. Sorry if this is something stupid just need to know what I can do with it.
You can use an external hard drive to boot and run with any Mac. Its not going to improve or replace your ram. If you use a mechanical hard drive in any Mac then help and boot from an external drive, especially if it's a SSD will be significantly faster.

Pavilion P6235uk: can I install second hard drive on PC?
Hello. I was wondering if I can install a second hard drive on my PC.
The present Sata hard drive has a capacity of 640 GB.
If there is a port to spare for a second hard drive, is there a maximum useful?
And everything would make SATA 3.5 '' hard disk fit? I would be grateful for any advice.
Thank you

You can't find the answer very easily.
Remove the second HDD Bay cover and check if there are a few HARD drive connectors/pins.
If Yes, then you could install a second HDD.
If not, you can not use second HARD drive.Good bye

Pavilion x 2 10-n100na: can I add a hard drive from a HP Pavilion x 2 10-n100na?
Can I add a hard drive to a Pavilion x 2 10-n100na? I noticed that some models in this range, for example. the Pavilion x 2 10-n107na, have a 1 TB drive. These 2 machines appear identical on the outside, so I was wondering if the 10 - 100na has all the required internal connections such as I could slot in my own hard drive.
All answers gratefully received. Thank you.
I noticed that the manual indicates that it is for some models only, but unfortunately there is not any information about who they are.
I have to disagree with you and say no.
You cannot add a disk hard unless your x 2 is one of the special types.
In the manual, you'll notice that even the keyboard, the coverage and the closing of the bottom are different. Take a very close look at this manual.

Not in the way you think. There is only a single hard drive 2.5 inch Bay, unlike the similarly named 17 t envy which has two slots for drives.

I can't get my hard drive to recognize that I have a CD in the tray
I can't get my hard drive to recognize that I have a CD in the tray. I can only open and view those that I already copied. Why?
There are a number of possibilities here.
1. assuming you have tried several different blank CD (if you are fairly confident that the problem is not the media), it is possible that the laser "burning" the recordable CD is dead. Because this isn't the same laser that reads the CD, you can always read but not write. If this is the case, the only solution is to buy a new CD player (not expensive).
2. your CD drive (E :) shows when you click on my computer? I think it does, or you did that you can open and view copies of files, you have already copied to other CD.
3. open Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK)
- Expand the category of CD-ROM/DVD-ROM readers by clicking on the + sign to the left
- Y at - it a warning next to the entrance icon?
- Double-click the entry for your CD player
- That said under the "device status".
- What would you say (at the bottom) under "use of the device.
- Close the Properties window and Device Manager
4. open my computer, right-click on the icon for your CD drive and select Properties
- Is there a tab "recording"?
- If there is a 'Recording' tab, click on it. Is the box to "Enable the writing of CD on this drive" checked or unchecked? (Do not change at this stage)
I'm not very familiar with Media Center Edition. In the past, when you copy files to a CD, how did you do? You just drag files to the letter of the CD-ROM drive in Windows Explorer, or did you have to open an app? If the latter, what application you use to copy files to a CD.

Hello:
Yes, you should be able to.
They are the same model series and should have essentially the same key components.
Here is the link to the service manual for the ze2000 series.
