Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
Chapter 1 page 6 provides the memory upgrade info.

Make sure you get PC3L-12800 (DD3L-1600) memory modules.  The L stands for low voltage.

  • Another question about upgrading RAM on G4 iMac

    I know that there are numerous threads on this forum about upgrading RAM and I am sorry to have to open another one but, having read many of them, I am still confused!
    I have unopened copies of Leopard and ILife 08 that I am planning to install on my 17-inch 1GHz G4 iMac with 768 MB of RAM (256 MB in the factory slot and 512 MB in the user accessible slot). I know that this model does not support all the functions of these programs but I am currently running Panther and the very first iLife so I think it's time for an upgrade!
    Apple states that this model supports up to 1GB RAM so I have been thinking that in order to get the best out of the new software I should upgrade to 1GB RAM. My questions are:
    1. Do I need to upgrade or is the existing RAM of 768 MB likely to be sufficient?
    2. If I upgrade, how easy is it to add RAM to the factory slot? I have searched but can find no instructions on this here or on the Apple website which implies that this is not recommended.
    3. Several threads on this forum seem to suggest that, in order to avoid having to mess with the factory slot, it is possible to put 1GB RAM in the user accessible slot and leave the factory slot well alone, resulting in total RAM greater than the maximum recommended by Apple. Is this correct or have I misunderstood?
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Do I need to upgrade or is the existing RAM of 768 MB likely to be sufficient?
    That will probably be sufficient. You could always install and run both Leopard and iLife '08 and see if you feel that they are working OK before buying any RAM.
    2. If I upgrade, how easy is it to add RAM to the factory slot? I have searched but can find no instructions on this here or on the Apple website which implies that this is not recommended.
    Apple does not post the directions because this is not considered something that a user can do by themselves.
    You can see the process at www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/iMacg4/imacg4takeapart.html

    That is correct. You could replace the 512 MB in the user accessible slot with 1 GB to provide a total RAM of 1.256 GB.

  • Is there a 'how-to' anywhere about upgrading the hard drive?

    Hi Guys,
    I'd quite like to upgrade the hard drive in my 24 inch 3.06GHz iMac to 2TB. Is there a step-by-step 'how to' available anywhere or has anyone done it successfully?
    I've done laptops on many occasions but the iMac has a difficult looking case to crack!
    Thanks
    Rich

    Hi mate,
    Haha, no I have no preconceptions about firewire! My iMac has a 400 and an 800. The 800 is connected to a Sony DV video deck and the 400 is connected to a RAID drive that is then daisy-chained to another external firewire and a Wiebetech bare hard drive device that I just swap out various hard drives to for clients.
    I suppose I should really be looking at a tower, but I sold a G5 Quad to downsize to the smaller footprint iMac and have been happy with it's performance - but the new ones have more space and more RAM capability - it's just a shame they don't have the connectivity options of even this iMac.
    Cheers

  • Ignorant about upgrading ram - help

    My other half uses an ibook, G4. It is a 1.33ghz PowerPC G4, with 512 mb DDR SDRAM. It runs Mac OS X 10.4.11.
    The memory is 256mb built in and 256 DDR SDRAM - PC2700U - 25330
    It is constantly running our of space on the start up disc. I have removed as much non essential stuff as I can, but he needs more memory.
    So, can I upgrade the ram to how big, what with, where from and is it easy? I have peaked under the keyboard, but thats as far as I have got. i am in the UK
    many thanks from a novice tinkerer!!!

    First you need to determine what the problem is. Are you running out of HD space (you mention not enough space on the HD) or do you need more RAM to use less HD for virtual memory? In either case, upgrading the HD in an iBook is not a task for the faint of heart. Many people never get their computer back together. As a solution to the full HD, I suggest purchasing an external USB drive and moving less used material from the internal HD to the external. This will clear up the HD a bit.
    Installing memory is quite easy once you have the keyboard off. Before attempting, check out the following to see what type and sizes of memory are allowed in your machine:

  • HT4009 What about upgrading? I can't do that from where I live w/o connecting to my hd. Now with the new changes to ITunes, I don't see how I can upgrade thru the traditional route I took b4. Now what do I do?

    What about upgrading apps on your IPhone? I can't do that from where I live w/o connecting directly to my laptop. With Apple's new Itunes page, I don't see how I can navigate successfully now to acheive the same result as before. Hmmm. I would appreciate some quick guidance. Thanks.

    With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar that used to show on previous versions of iTunes via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. You can then select the Apps part of your iTunes library on that sidebar and on the right-hand side of iTunes click the Check For Updates button at the bottom to see if any of your apps have updates available. Then connect your phone and select it on the sidebar, and on the Apps tab on the right-hand side click the Sync button at the bottom of it to copy the updates over

  • I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?

    I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?
    I have seen a lot of discussions upgrading from Boot Camp 4 to 5 but no answers upgrading from boot camp 3.3 to 5. My worry is that if I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion, that my bootcamp partition will no longer be able to boot up. There seem to be a lot of threads suggesting problems that are possible. Has anyone gone through this upgrade with success?

    Before doing any installation restart OSX from your 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD and use Disk Utility to Both Repair The Disk and Repair the Permissions of your Macintosh HD.
    Next remove your Snow Leopard DVD and restart your iMac into OSX.
    Update to the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard by clicking the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install Snow Leopard v10.6.8, the latest version.
    Use Time Machine to make a Full Backup of your Macintosh HD.
    Shut down and restart into Windows by holding the Option key at the chime and selecting Windows.
    Now use Windows Backup to make a Full Image Backup of your Windows Installation to a removable drive.
    Shut Down and Boot back into OSX.
    Open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download Mountain Lion. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install it.
    Upgrading your OSX to 10.8 should not effect the Windows Partition at all since you are only upgrading the Mac side. You should not have to run the Boot Camp Assitant 5 Utility in OSX at all.
    Your Boot Camp 3.3 Windows Support Drivers et. al only effect your Windows installation and should continue to run fine after upgrading.
    Which version of Windows do you already have installed on the existing Boot Camp Partition?
    Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?

    There are no keys, there is no trial version of OSX (ML or Mavericks) and Mavericks is free

    You phone the Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and if desired, update it to 10.6.8 and get Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store.

  • How to upgrade RAM on the HP Mini 110-313?

    It says the HP Mini 110's are user-upgradable RAM to 2gig.
    How would I do this?

    There should be a little door on the bottom of the machine where the memory chip is. Just order the memory and pop the old one out and put the new one in.

  • How to upgrade RAM or add VRAM

    Bought a refurbished MacBook Pro with
    OS X 10.8.4
    2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    and interested in purchasing ProPresenter, which recommends using:
    Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better
    OS: MacOS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or later
    RAM: 2 GB RAM (4 GB recommended)
    Graphics Card: Dual display with screen spanning capability (a dedicated graphics card with 512MB VRAM is recommended)
    Since my hubby and I just made "the switch," (he got a new iMac 21.5" with superdrive and I got the refurb MacBook Pro), I want to make sure we will be good with the software purchase, or if we need to purchase additional hardware.
    LOVE the new Macs!!

    1 - can't answer your hardware question unless you provide information about the exact MBP model and/or what graphics processor (GPU) it has.  To identify the exact model, open Apple > About This Mac > System Information > Hardware and look for "Model identifier"
    2 - You can probably upgrade RAM but again it depends on the exact model MBP you have
    3 - There is no way to add VRAM in a MacBook Pro
    Overall, given the specs you cited for ProPresenter, I would expect it to run fine on an i7 MacBookPro.
