17" iMac (1.6Ghz PPC) can use Ram with Heat Spreader?

Hello There Apple Community,
i have a vintage 17" PPC iMac, it support 2GB of max ram., here in my country those memories are hard to find, the ones i found, there are DDR 1GB 400Mhz which is the right one, BUT they have "Heat Spreader" can i use them to upgrade my iMac?
Cheers....

Hello Juan Bermudez,
While it is not explicitly stated that memory with heat-sinks will not fit, I do not believe that they will. The following document provides the specific requirements that your iMac G5 has with regards to memory.
About iMac G5 Memory
1. iMac G5 computers work with memory modules (DIMMs) that meet all of
     these criteria: PC3200, 2.5V, unbuffered, 8-byte, nonparity, 184-pin,
     400Mhz DDR SDRAM.
2. There are two RAM slots. The maximum amount of RAM you can install is 2
     GB. You can use RAM module sizes of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB, in either
     slot.
3. DIMMs with any of the following features are not supported in the iMac G5
     computer: registers or buffers, PLLs, ECC, parity, or EDO RAM.

  • I can use iMessage with all iPhone uses except for ONE person.  That person can use iMessage with all other users, but not with ME.  What's the problem???

    I can use iMessage with all other iPhone users that I communicate with, except for ONE person.  When I send to that person, it always goes through as a text message.  This person can use iMessage with pther people, but when they send me a message, it always goes as a text.  Why can we both communicate with other people using iMessage, but not with one another?

    Hi Russell,
    1) If you have OD set up and "editor" has UID 1111, then when they log in to any machine that's bound to OD as editor, they will get UID 1111. Therefore, there won't be any of these permission errors. This is typically the recommended approach.
    2) I assume you mean "You'd prefer to not using open directory?" Whatever the case, OD isn't mandatory with Xsan -- it's just that with multiple user accounts, managing them centrally tends to be easier. For 3 or 4 accounts and 3 or 4 machines maybe it's no big deal. If you go larger, it could get a lot more complicated. That said, if you set it up such that each machine has the exact same set of users (as you said, Mary = UID 502, Fred = UID 503, William = UID 504), then you can do what you want. Mary can log in from multiple machines at the same time, and in general you won't have permissions problems. Of course, if you try and read and write the same file from multiple workstations at the same time, you will get file locking issues, which will prohibit somebody from successfully writing the file.
    File locking issues are different from general permissions errors. The former basically says "hey, someone else is editing this file. Therefore I won't let you edit it right now... you can read it if you want though." Permissions means somebody saves it, and Xsan thinks you saved it and own the file, when you really don't.

  • HT202667 Hi - My daughter was using her Apple TV until recently when she got a Smart TV.  Now the Apple TV is not needed so she passed it on to me.  How do I get it transferred over from her Home Sharing account to mine so that I can use it with my PC?

    As  Winston Churchill wrote, however you might want to do a factory reset on the Apple TV.
    This way all information pertaining to your daughter will be removed from the device. Specifically if see was sign into any of the streaming service, Netflix, Hulu, etc. her credentials will still be associated with this Apple TV, doing  a factory reset will remove all that and make it as if you purchased the device and just plugged it in.

    Dear Apple,
    I have an iPhone 4 32GB (black), i bought from softbank, japan. Now, I have recently finished a graduate and i'll comeback home in Laos. But i can't continue to use my iphone.
    Could you please help me to unlock my phone so I can use it with other carrier Sims. I would appreciate it.
    Please let me know if you could help me out. Thanks again.

    Like ckuan said, Apple does not unlock iPhone; your carrier does, provided that the carrier offers this service.
    Unfortunately, SoftBank does not offer authorized unlocking of iPhone.
    Your best option is to sell this phone and buy another iPhone from the carrier of your choice or better buy a factory unlocked iPhone so you would be able to use it with any compatible GSM carrier around the world.

  • I had Leopard on may Mac. I upgraded to Mountain Lion using Snow Leopard. I can't use my video with Mountain Lion. Can I load Snow Leopard on an external hard drive so I can use it with my camera?

    First, you cannot do this if you have a Boot Camp partition.
    Second: Create a new partition.
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
    Third: Install Snow Leopard.
    Boot from your Snow Leopard DVD. Follow instructions for installation being sure that before you actually install Snow Leopard you have selected the new partition as your target destination.
    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
      1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo
          appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.

    Do I have to have iTunes on my PC in order to update my iPhone. I'd rather not have my computer linked with my iPad and phone. I'd like to just keep it between iPad and iPhone. I don't have a computer of my own.

    How can I unlock my old 3GS so my wife can use it with her sim card

    Check this article to find out if unlocking is supported by your carrier: Locating iPhone wireless carriers
    If supported, contact the carrier and he will pass this info to Apple/iTunes, and your phone can be used with another SIM.

  • I am from argentina and i want to buy an iPhone 5s, but in my country i can only use it if the phone is unlocked , i want to know if i buy one of t mobile with no contract and i travel to mi country ( internationaly) i can use it with a sim from argentina

    You should go onto the Tmobile web site and look around. Very soon a pop up window will ask you if you want to chat. You can try asking for someone who knows Spanish (if you prefer), they might have someone available who can chat with you in Spanish.
    I give this suggestion because I remember on the Tmobile website, you can order on line, but they let you choose to pay only a little money up front, then pay off the rest over 24 months, or you can choose to pay for it in full. However, their ordering process does not say whether the paid for in full phone is going to be unlocked or not.
    It may not be, You may have to make a request and say that since you have paid in full please unlock. I am not so sure that a paid for in full phone is automatically sold in unlocked state.
    This is why I suggest you talk to Tmobile to get a definite answer.
    Unless someone else on this forum knows for sure? Hope someone else jumps in to answer. But the best way is to ask for yourself directly from Tmobile.

  • As I heard, If i get an unlocked iphone 5s, I can use it with my Wind Mobile which i have to have a $40 monthly plan for it. So, I want to buy an Iphone 5s that I can use it here with Wind Mobile and in turkey with my turkish line tht supoprts Iphone.

    As I heard, If i get an unlocked iphone 5s, I can use it with my Wind Mobile which i have to have a $40 monthly plan for it. So, I want to buy an Iphone 5s that I can use it here with Wind Mobile and in turkey with my turkish line that supports Iphone. So, is it possible that I can purchase an Iphone 5s that will be usable within Canada and Turkey? Im asking because, In Turkey, you need to register the Imei of the phone on your Passport to use it. Also, if i buy an unlocked Iphone 5s, will I be down to use it anywhere with any line?

    I dont know if you know the procedure in Canada and Turkey. Wind mobile wasnt supporting Iphones until they decided to let people use Iphone 5s with their $40 plan.And as i know, Turkey is the only country that asks you to register the imei on your passport to use it. So, most of people did not know it. so procedures are changing country by country. Are you sure that If I buy an Iphone 5s from a canadian apple store, use it with my wind mobile line and the turkish line in Turkey?

    Is this an older "round" version of the AirPort Extreme? If yes, it is true that AirPort Utility 6.x no longer supports the older AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express models.
    A model number......located on the bottom of the Extreme or on the side of the Express would be helpful to confirm what you have.
    Apple probably does want you to buy a new AirPort Extreme.
    The workaround might be to use a Mac or PC running a 5.x version of AirPort Utility.
    A more complicated workaround would be to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion.  This is not supported by Apple......it does work for me.....but may not work for you. See this article for more details:

    No, sorry... did not happen becasue no such model exists.
    If the device is in recovery mode, any data on it is already lost. 
    The only options are:
    Restore the device to get it functional.
    Enjoy the paper weight.
    For what reason did you attempt to update the device without first ensuring that your data was safe, meaning backing up the device and copying important pictures/videos taken with the device to a computer?
