How do I determine if the memory problems are with my imac and not the RAM?

I've heard of some vague problems with intel imacs and their memory slots. I'm about to replace (for the 3rd time) RAM, and think I need to test further to see if the problem is with my imac and not the RAM. Right now I put back in the original 2-512 sticks that came with the imac, and the rember test is only showing 594mb (odd amt!) testing OK. But, in "about my mac" it will show as 1gb.
Problems I've had with each set of RAM: occasional KP's, excessive spinning beachballs, sudden closing of apps (esp. if I have several apps running), won't fax usually (will hear a fax tone instead of a dial tone at the onset), disappearing documents section under my username.
I bought this imac refurbed thru the apple store last fall: 2.16 C2D 20" imac
Any ideas before I have to separate myself from my imac to send it in??

Hi Toodles
The pin strips on the new modules maybe a little thicker than your original modules, and it's going to take more force to seat them properly. If the new Memory Specifications are correct I would try them again. Slide them in untill they stop, then push real hard untill you feel them seat into place.
I've never seen a report about an odd amount of ram shown. If reinstalling the ram modules does not solve your issue, and may be a indication that there is something wrong with one of the slots.

Reception problem is with OS/4 and not the iphone 4.

A reviewer contacted Apple and they said it's a problem with the IOS4 update that they will be patching. Maybe it is.
This guy is getting the issue on his iPhone 3G.

BS... Come on people. Think about it. It is impossible to be software. You pick up the phone, which is skin to metal, interference occurs with the antennas, and you lose signal. You lay the phone down, break the interference, and problem is gone. You can't get that skin to metal contact on any of the other phones.
You all go ahead and wait, wait, and wait some more for your software fix.
Totaly bogus...

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?
I currently run OS X 10.10.1
Now i have been trying to work on this for a while now and what i want to do should be simple but its apparently not.
Here is an example of what i want to happen.
I will have 2 tabs: Contact | Sales
Now Contacts will have the list of names and various information about a customer, While Sales will have one drop-down box for each Cell Row that will show the names of the person in tab contacts
for what i am wanting to do i cant use the data format pop-up menu because the list is edited everyday several times a day.
Now how do i do this, Excel can do this so how can numbers do it?

Hi Shegra,
Paste this into a applescript editor window and run it from there. In the script you may need to adjust the four properties to agree with your spreadsheet. Let me know if you have any questions.

I just synced my iPhone and lost all the info in notes from my phone. It was replaced with whT was on my iMac how do you make the sync go from phone to desktop and not the other way around

I Just synced my iPhone and lost all the info in notes I had on the phone. How do you have the info sync from phone to desktop and not the other way around as I usually make contact changes etc on my phone. I would then like to be able to sync that info from desktop to ipad thanks

It does make sense. The iPhone is a one-person device and just syncs to one computer.
The way it should work is as follows:
Old computer content ---> New computer
New computer <---> syncs to iPhone
But the way you are trying to operate sounds like:
Old computer content ---> iPhone
... and ...
New computer content <---> iPhone
So simply move your old stuff (either directly from iTunes, or from a computer backup) to the new computer, have it all there, then sync your iPhone to the new machine.

I am selling my Mac Mini. I recently purchased OS X Lion. When I restore to factory settings, how can I ensure that the operating system will still be Lion, and not the original operating system, which I believe was Snow Leopard?

If you bought Lion from the App Store, you can't legally or practically transfer it, because it's tied to your Apple ID. Reinstall the original software from the discs that came with the machine.

How do I get my emails to download both on my iMac and iPhone the same?

I have recently got an iPhone 5. I also use Mail on my iMac computer. How do I get my emails to download both on my iMac and iPhone, the same? (If I currently fetch my emails on the iPhone, then they don't then appear later when I want them on my iMac and I need to forward them to myself again - crazy!) And can I also receive sent emails on both too? I need identical email lists on both. Thank you, in anticipation!

If you are using POP email accounts, this is how they are designed to work. POP mail gets offloaded from the mail server onto the device used to access it, so it will not show up on another client later as it literally no longer is stored on the server. It may be possible for you to configure your POP mail account to keep messages on the server, so they will always appear every time you access your mail (from any device). The downside of this is that most POP accounts have limited online storage, and the messages will never disappear until you manually delete them, so if you are not very diligent at cleaning out read mail, you run the risk of your account filling up.
Really, for what you want, you should switch to an IMAP mail service. IMAP mail is always stored on the server, not on any one client/device, so it is always accessible from any client on any device. Given that, most IMAP accounts have much larger online storage than most POP accounts, since the mail is intended to stay on the server.
Check with your email provider and see if you can switch your account(s) over to IMAP. If not, there are a number of free IMAP providers, such as gmail from google.

When trying to view a pdf from IE10 I get a small square with an X and not the document.

When trying to view a pdf from IE10 I get a small square with an X and not the document. I have removed reader completely from the control panel and reinstalled version 11.0.4. I have IE 10 10.0.9200.16721. Need assitance in getting Reader XI setup.

Hi,
We have heard few users having similar issue as yours and found out the problem for one of the users is this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529 .
I was able to reporduce this problem(square with a 'X') by changing the TabProcGrowth registry entry to 0.
This tool provided by Microsoft is for Win 8, to run this on Win 7 you can manually change the registry setting : please see " Let me fix it myself" in above url.
Before running these steps please make sure yours indeed is the same problem.
Please be very careful as some registry settings (not this one) can create serious problems on a Windows system including causing it to no longer boo
Let me know how it goes.
Thank You.

HT1145 The airport extreme used with my iMac is not seeing my other devices...anybody, please?

The airport extreme used with my iMac is not seeing my iPhone 5, iPad (third generation) or my windows based PC. When I open the airport utility it shows only the internet and my iMac. It does not identify the others. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi DaileyT,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:
When do Apple wireless devices appear in AirPort Utility?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3624
Troubleshooting missing devices
If your Apple wireless device doesn't show up in the wireless device list, try the following:
Check to see that the device is turned on.
Check that the device is connected to the network via Ethernet or in wireless range of your computer.
Make sure the device has had adequate time to start up and become discoverable. In the case of Apple wireless devices that are not connected via Ethernet, AirPort Utility scans for new devices once every 15 seconds. From the time a device becomes discoverable (typically around one minute), it could take up to another 15 seconds before the device is displayed in the list.
If you have just configured a new Apple Wireless device, upgraded the firmware, selected "Restore Default Settings..." or have hard reset and configured an Apple wireless device and it does not show up in AirPort Utility after restarting, you may have an incorrect setting. You may want to hard reset the unit and set it up again.
If you are connected to a specific wireless network, all Apple wireless devices which make up that network will appear. However, if you "Restore Default Settings..." from AirPort Utility, or hard reset a device that is out of physical wireless range of the computer, you will need to move the device closer the computer to configure it again.
Best of luck,
Mario

Screen stuck on gray, used shift key and my screen appears with MacBook Pro and not the recovery option. Please help!

Hi ..
Shift key boots into Safe Mode, not Recovery.
This only works on a Mac running v10.7 Lion or later.
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and restore OS X using OS X Recovery

How to create two UILoader that can be nested with each other and save the parent UILoader - as3

Hi all,
I am currently researching on the problem but I can't find any solution in the web.
Here is my problem:
I have two UILoader instance (loader_inner and loader_outer) I need to have loader_inner to be part of the loader_outer. I have also a button that will save all contents on loader_outer. Unluckily, when I trigger the save function, I only got a white image file. I was expecting that the contents of loader_outer (with loader_inner) to be saved also.
Note: background_1.jpg and rabbit.jpg are present in the directory. loader_outer and loader_inner where manually placed in the scene using UILoader component.
Here is a code snippet:
loader_inner.load(new URLRequest("background_1.jpg"));
loader_outer.load(new URLRequest("rabbit.jpg"));
loader_outer.addChild(loader_inner);
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(loader_outer.width,loader_outer.height);
bitmapData.draw(loader_outer);
var jpgencoder:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(100);
var mybyte:ByteArray = jpgencoder.encode(bitmapData);
var myfile:FileReference = new FileReference();
myfile.save(mybyte,"test.jpg");
My expected output should be that background_1.jpg and rabbit.jpg should be saved in an image file and must be positioned like the ones placed in the scene.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks ahead.

the load method is asynchronous so you don't want to apply that draw method until both loads are complete. ie, use a complete listener:
loader_inner.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE.loadcompleteF);
loader_outer.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadcompleteF);
var loadNum:int=0;
loader_inner.load(new URLRequest("background_1.jpg"));
loader_outer.load(new URLRequest("rabbit.jpg"));
loader_outer.addChild(loader_inner);
// you should declare these variables outside this function so there are no gc issues.
function loadcompleteF(e:Event):void{
loadNum++;
if(loadNum==2){
var bitmapData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(loader_outer.width,loader_outer.height);
bitmapData.draw(loader_outer);
var jpgencoder:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(100);
var mybyte:ByteArray = jpgencoder.encode(bitmapData);
var myfile:FileReference = new FileReference();
myfile.save(mybyte,"test.jpg");

How to measure voltage changes using a NI-9219 with strain gauges and use the data in labview

I am updating an old LabView/Data Acquisition system that uses strain gauges to measure two forces (normal and axial) as well as two moments (Pitch and Roll). I am having trouble reading the voltage changes over my strain gauges using my NI-9219 as well as filtering the data with both a lowpass and smoothing filter. The program attached has the project and should have all the sub-vi's used in the program. This program was written on LabView version 8.5 and is being updated to a 2013 version of LabView. Also, the hardware previously used was a combination of a NI SCB-68 and NI USB-6251. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Coffeyfj,
Did you ever had this set up working? The first thing that I would do as I mentioned in the previous comment would be to use one of the LabVIEW examples. I recommended to you using the (strain - Continuous Input.vi). If you can read any voltage changes with the example vi, then we will know the problem we are having is in your code. If you cannot read any voltage changes using the example I mentioned, we can start trouble shooting the hardware connections. Are you connecting the excitation voltage? If yes, Are you making the right connections. Please refer to page 19 of the following document (half and full bridge modes)

How do I mange the apps that are on my cloud and not on my device. Second how do you delete things off my cloud that are old and taking up space

How do I manage my storage on my cloud. For example getting rid of old apps that are no longer on my device but still in the cloud

Hi Bryan,
The only thing in iCloud are the backups that you have done for your device. Three backups are usually saved, with the oldest one deleted when you do the next one.
You may be getting iCloud confused with iTunes in the Cloud. All of your iTunes and App Store purchases are stored in iTunes in the Cloud so that you can re-download them at a later time if you wish. This is not iCloud and has no effect on your iCloud storage.
However, if you wish to manage what is backed up to iCloud, you can go to Settings>General>Usage and under the iCloud section click on Manage Storage. This will take you to a screen that shows what devices are backing up to iCloud and what settings you have turned on. If you click on a device, it will take you to a detailed screen that has a list of Apps and data that you are backing up. You can selectively turn them off or on. You can also delete older backups if you wish.
Cheers,

How to get siri to send a text to an email address and not the iphone number?

Better worded this time. Siri sends texts using a contact iphone number if they have one. I want it to send to the contacts email address (or apple id). if no iphone is present for a contact siri asks me which address i want to use. if there is an iphone listed for the contact it defaults to that phone number. I don't want it to do that. I want siri to always use the email address. Can that be done?

If you wrote your database send mail package to support different MIME Types, then you need to change the MIME Type to HTML before you add the HTML tags to your email message body. Check out this article (Sending Email from the database with UTL_SMTP package) and look at the "maildemo.sql" package provided in the article. This package will show you how to set the MIME Type to support HTML message bodies.
Hope this helps,

I have fixed the cookies problem. I uninstalled Firefox and rebooted the system

This was the first time that I rebooted the system before I reinstalled Firefox. Everything works fine now.

Hello again,
Whenever i click on something (for example to windows media player, explorer new window etc.), the fan speeds up for 1 seconds and gets low again.
In this review, it's is clearly told that the fan gets up and down very often.
''The fan on this laptop, while having the ability to spin slowly, likes to quickly ramp up at the slightest temperature increase. It also has no delay, causing the fan to quickly speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down, etc. This started to drive me up the wall when some programs were running. I am hoping a BIOS fix comes around to mellow out the fan''
That is exactly what I am complain about.
