24" iMac Intel-Memory?

I’m going to order a 24” iMac Intel
How hard is it to put in your own memory?
I will buy from non-Apple source.
Second - should I get a 1 or a 2 GB for the extra slot?
I do know I will be getting a 1GB with the iMac 24”.
- I use iM about 4 times a year
- I use iDVD 1 or 2x’s a month (120 min long movie)
I use PHS CS twice a month.
I am getting the Video 7600/256m module.
thanks-

Your comments made go to the memory’s Co. web page-
This is what I found.
NOTE: The Intel iMac is built with the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and has two memory sockets which can be upgraded to a maximum of 3GBs using DDR2-667 DIMMs. If both sockets are loaded with an equal amount of RAM, you can take advantage of the dual-channel memory interface for an additional performance boost
I sounds like they are saying-put the same RAM in each slot.
I will also ask the Apple rep. if I'm going to get 2-512 or one 1-GB ram module.

  • Late 2009 iMac (Intel) memory upgrade.

    My late 2009 iMac (Intel) has 2 2GB memory chips (4 GB total).  Can I add 2 4GB chips to the two empty memory slots (12 GB total),or do I have to pull the 2 GB chips and use 4 GB chips in all 4 slots (16 GB total)?

    Yes.  Depending on the model it will use 8 GB (early 2009 20" & 24" iMac and mid 2009 20" iMac)  to 32 GB (all late 2009 iMacs) of memory.  So just replace  the 2 GB modules modules from either Crucial.com or otherworldcomputing.com.  They are the two most reputable suppliers of Mac memory out there.

  • Imac intel memory

    Both Crucial and RamJet do not have it in stock yet and those are two very reliable Mac memory vendors.

  • Full Firewire Port Failure (three different machines : iMac Intel, iMac G5, Black Macbook)

    I'm experiencing a failure of all FireWire ports on all of my three machines. I believe this problem began with a faulty external, FireWire powered hard drive from G-Tech. Here are all my specs, followed by a rundown of the order of events that has lead to this situation, followed by the various troubleshooting I have done.
    Equipment :
    iMac Aluminum Intel - 24" Mid 2007 - running OsX 10.5.8 - currently 1 FW400 and 1 FW800 ports disabled
    iMac G5 - 20" - running OsX 10.5.8 - currently 2 FW400 ports disabled
    MacBook - 13" black Early 2008 - running OsX 10.5.8 - currently 1 FW400 port disabled
    2 500GB G-Drives (by G-Tech) - AC powered
    1 5TB G-RAID Drive (by G-Tech) - AC powered
    1 250GB G-Drive Mini (by G-Tech) - FW powered
    Initial Setup :
    1 500GB G-Drive connected directly to iMac Intel via FW800
    1 500GB G-Drive connected to first 500GB G-Drive via FW800 (daisy chained)
    1 250GB G-Drive connected to second 500GB G-Drive via FW400 (daisy chained)
    1 5TB G-RAID connected directly to iMac Intel via FW800>400 adapter
    Sequence of Events :
    I had transferred some files to my G-Drive Mini in order to move them to my MacBook from my iMac Intel. I copied the files to the G-Drive Mini and ejected it normally and plugged it into my MacBook via FW400. The drive would not mount, and the power indication light would not go on. After experimenting with various connections and cables I was able to get the drive to power with FW400 and USB connected at the same time, but the drive would still not mount.
    I then plugged the G-Drive Mini back into the 2nd 500GB G-Drive as it was previously connected via FW400. This action caused the G-Drive to immediately reboot and eject itself from my iMac Intel.
    I then attempted to plug the G-Drive Mini into my older iMac G5 via FW400. Immediately upon plugging in, the computer shut down, and would not restart.
    At this point I kind of started to freak out. I was unaware of the extent of the damage, but was upset that the FW powered G-Drive Mini had shutdown my iMac G5. I contacted G-Tech Support and they offered to replace the drive and instructed me how to manually reset the computer's SMC by opening up the iMac and finding the Cuda switch. This worked and the computer was able to start and function again, but the FW400 port seemed to be disabled.
    I then tried to swap out configurations and drives on my iMac Intel to see if there was any cable problems, but doing so, slowly rendered all my FireWire ports useless. It's almost as if the act of plugging in the FW-powered G-Drive Mini started a kind of shortout chain reaction. I soon learned that none of my hard drives would connect to any of my three machines, with any kind of cable combination via FW400 or 800.
    I am currently able to connect my 5TB G-RAID drive to any machine via USB, as well as my G-Drive Mini. I am unable to access the other two external hard drives, as one has only FW400 and 800 ports and the other's USB connection is not functional as well on any machine.
    Troubleshooting Steps Taken :
    I have on all machines, reset the SMC in the following methods. iMac G5 - manually, by opening the case and pressing Cuda switch. iMac Intel - unplug, hold power button, restart method. MacBook - unplug, hold power button, restart method.
    I have also on all machines, reset the PRAM by the Cmnd + Opt + P + R method at startup.
    I have also unplugged all cables / removed battery, from all machines and left alone for a period of at least 12 hours, then re-plugged in each device one at a time.
    I have also restored my hibernate mode (through Terminal) on my iMac Intel to mode 3 and also turned on Virtual Memory in system preferences and set hibernatemode to mode 7, the restarted and attempted to plug in devices. The reason I even began to deal with the hibernate mode was because I had around the same time my ports began malfunctioning, installed the DeepSleep widget, which allows you to control your computer's hibernate mode. I thought that tweaking with this setting may have made my computer incapable of recognizing devices that were plugged in. I have since uninstalled the widget and experimented with different hibernatemodes to no avail.
    I also have Repaired Disk Permissions and Repaired Disk on all my machines, from within my Admin User as well as from the OsX Install Disk.
    Sometimes in my System Profiler (like right now for example on my iMac Intel) my computer is "Unable to list FireWire devices," but sometimes, no warning message comes up and it simply displays the appropriate Bus speed.
    I also conducted a system restore using a backup from my 5TB G-Raid Drive via USB, to a date before these problems started, but my ports are still not working.
    Summary :
    I am looking at a situation where all my FW ports on all my computers appear to be disabled, and possibly also on my four external hard drives, with one possible USB port malfunction on one external drive. The only root of this seems to be a malfunctioning FW-powered external hard drive.
    Is this possible? Has this happened to anyone else before? G-Tech assures me that it is impossible for my 250GB G-Drive Mini to draw enough power from a computer to permanently disable any ports, but I have tried all of the FW port problem troubleshooting steps and am at a loss.
    I do not have AppleCare and would like to avoid bringing two iMacs, a MacBook and four hard drives to the Apple store and take my chances with the geniuses.
    I would appreciate any help or advice you all have. Thanks for reading and for your support!

    Ok. So if that was too confusing, I've re-labeled this post with letters for my hard drives and some mapping of the connectivity configurations I have attempted.

  • I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program.

    I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and upgraded the memory and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program. I can see the hard drive in the disk utilities window however it wont let me do anything.
    It is a seagate 1TB SATA II drive however it is displaying it as a 7.3 TB.
    If anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
    I have tried to erase and partition and get the same error message each time, 'Input/Output error'.
    I have tried starting the thing with the install disk which is Mac OS X (Tiger?) which came with the computer. No good.
    Anyone?

    Thats correct. I can see it in the list however when I attempt to erase it or partition it it's like it's not being found or recognised and it throws up the input/output error message. I am pretty sure that the sensor it attached correctly and it is a SATA drive. I can see all the infor regarding the drive when disk utility is open and it all looks good but I cant access it or do anything with it. It's taunting me!
    The install disk is in the drive and the install program runs right up to the point where you have to select the location for the install and there is just nothing in the box where you have to select the hard drive icon.
    I have my suspiscions about the drive but any help would be appreciated.

  • Is there a virtual pc or Windows emulator for iMac intel duo?

    Hi there,
    I just got a new iMac intel duo last week and its fantastic. Unfornatuly I need to run a stock market program that only runs on windows...
    This is the only program that i need to run on the windows platform.
    I was told to get the intel duo as it was the way things were going and that I may have to wait for the software side of things to catch up.
    I currently have a workaround that is painfull, but I would like to have it all on the one machine...
    Is there a virtual pc version for the iMac intel duo or are there other emulators I could use??
    Desparate..
    iMac intel, 2G memory   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Thanks for the advice... does anyone else know of another product? I heard that the responce time for it wasn't good?
    Whats happening with Virtual PC?? is a new version comming out??

  • Generation 4 iPod Connection to new iMac intel core 2 duo

    Okay, first of all heres all my technical information:
    -new iMac Intel Core 2 Duo
    -Gen 4 iPod, non color diplay
    -running iTunes 7.0.2
    -sadly, no iPod power brick(although i think i need it to solve the problem)
    Okay, now to the problem, I tried to connect the iPod to my new iMac, and it worked after leaving it alone for 15 minutes. It is formated to windows and i wanted the music to stay on it, so i disconnected it. Afterward i just thought, screw it, and connected it hoping to restore it, but it never showed up in iTunes or the finder. I thought this was odd, then i looked at the iPod and it displayed a image of a iPod power brick going into an outlet. i havent been able to get to the apple store and thought there must be an easier way to do this, so i went to get the old install disc for my iPod that came with it. Hoping this would finally work, i tried to run the package installer for the iPod to install the drivers, and it displayed(after it evaluated my comp) "Cannot be installed on this computer, missing Mac OSX Networking Update" I've looked all over the Downloads area of the Apple site and havent been able to find it. Can someone please help me!?!

    I have the new 24" flat screen imac and a new IPOD video. I was using the ipod on an old mac with 10.4 and it was working ok with a few sync issues. But when I tried it with the new mac I get very bad results. Itunes hangs and I need to do a hard power reset. Then the ipod once hung up and I had to do a restore on my old mac. Still have not successfully used the ipod with the new mac.
    my system is the following
    Machine Name: iMac
    Machine Model: iMac6,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz

    I've tried connecting wirelessly to an Airport Extreme, Airport Express and directly to the Netgear DG384 wireless box, they all have the same issue.
    Any help out there!?

    Update- I deleted HP via Hp uninstall and also did a search on HD and deleted anything that siad HP. Reinstalled HP prpgram via original CD, then downloaded and installed OS 10.6 drivers and software from HP website then ran Apple software update and it updated 2 files and restarted the computer. The HP photosmart studio still did the same thing running very slow and not responding to clicking on any command. I called HP and they don't have Apple support on Sundays. Not sure if they will ever help me b/c I don't have extended service plan or they want to charge me. Apparently fro do google searches, they have been problems with the software and OS X 6-Snow Leopard. It's funny, I can print but just not use the photosmart software anymore. The problem seams to have worsened after I made a picture DVD using iDVD.- Where does iDVD get installed from? It's not part of iLife. I may uninstall iDVD and reinstall if I know where I got it from and see if that helps. I did run iPhoto yesterday and except for taking a long time to import my photos (hours for 1,600 picutres), it seems to run fine, so I can use that as long as I can use the printer to print and scan. I uninstalled HP again and was going to try reinstalling and only doing the Apple software update after and see if that chances anything. I will try calling HP after I have the software back on my computer. If I do decide to buy a new printer=- any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • What is the best CD and DVD to use with my new iMac Intel?

    Guys, please help. I am not great on the computers and need a bit of help and advice. Just brought a brand new iMac Intel G5. This is to replace my older but much loved iMac G4, which is very simple to use. Have had nothing but trouble with the new one which was especially brought to copy CD's and DVD's and to have a good play with. After much head scratching have just been told by Apple help desk that the new intels may not like CD-R. These disks worked fine on my old Mac, brought a new pack (100). I can copy information and burn to these disks using Disk Utility. BUT they can only be read on the Intel iMac, not on my old mac or PC at work. This is only simple word and pdf files, nothing complicated. Copying and burning DVD's even more of a nightmare. What makes and formats do you recommend that I use? I can copy to DVD+R. Your advise would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Townie1978

    Thats the full spec of my iMac Intel duo core, plus added memory. As per the sellers website. The bit about the superdrive is pure fantasy. Have tried to copy and burn to DVD -R, +R and -RW all go through the motions and keep you in suspense. Then you put the disc in another player and disc not recognised. Really, really upset by this.

  • IMac Intel Core Duo Hard Drive Replacement

    I may need to replace my iMac (Intel Core Duo) HD soon; I'm wondering whether the Geek Squad does work on Macs. Also, is this something a person can do themselves with good directions, or is that risky. I've put in memory, but think the HD is probably a step up. I have everything backed up and would get all my stuff back on HD myself. Has anyone had experience with Mac repair here?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Welcome, Selia!
    We certainly do work on Macintosh computers.  The criteria is: "Is the part user-serviceable?"  We would need to sendthe unit in for upgrade to our repair center if it is not something Apple has in their DIY section of their website.  This is toensure consistency and to avoid any issues if still under warranty. Typically only Mac Book laptop hard drives areserviceable in the store.
    Either way, I recommend letting an Agent assist you in the store.  Let us know if you need further answers.

  • IMac Intel 21.5"

    Can the iMac Intel 21.5" ($1199) accept four 2 Gig. ram cards?

    Yes: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/imac_mid2011_ug.pdf
    "Installing Memory
    Your iMac has four memory slots. Two are filled with at least a 2 GB memory module. You can install additional memory in the free slots or replace the memory in the filled slots with 2 GB or 4 GB memory modules, for up to 16 GB of memory."

  • Optimising iMac Intel educational for office use.

    Hello there,
    We received new iMac Intel educational and they are fantastic looking, incredibly silent (I had to remove the clock from the wall because it's Tic-Tac was too loud) and many new features likes it's Mighty mouse and much more drove me crazy. It took me about half an hour to admirethem, open them and look at every little details before preparing them for office use.
    Unfortunately, as we knew, the PPC applications (MS-Office, FileMakerPRO, Macromedia Studio 8 and Adobe CS-2) are too slow but thanks to Rosetta they are working.
    Note that Studio 8 and CS2 are not used to create but only to "visualise" what the students have done as home work.
    We plan to boost the RAM to 1 GB but is there any thing else I can do or configure to optimise them?
    Thank you.
    17" iMac Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Congrats on the new Mac.
    At this point, as long as they are PPC apps, more memory is the best thing that you can do. Also not open too many apps at the same time. Mac OS X + Rosetta + PPC apps eat a lot of RAM. As soon as they are Universal binaries you will notice an improved difference.
    In fact I believe that Adobe CS 3 is available as a beta download to registered users of CS2, the beta is a Universal binary. Many of us have abandoned Office for Mac for NeoOfice a free, open source Ub replacement.

  • Virus protection for an imac intel

    Are imac intel's secure from viruses? If not what is the Virus protection software I should buy?

    Get Intego Virus Barrier X4 !!!!!!!!!!
    Forget symantec, I had trouble with Norton Antivirus, For a few months it was fine than all of the Sudden it wouldn't update, even if I took it off the computer and reinstalled it.. I called them and I was transfered to over 8 different technitions and not one of them could help me. I kept getting error messages and i even tried software update trouble shooters from their website, and nothing, just more wasted space..
    NORTON TAKES FOREVER TO SCAN THE COMPUTER FOR VIRUSES
    The same issues happened to my iBook as well a few day later.
    I made my transition to INTEGO VIRUS BARRIER X4. THE ARE NUMBER ONE IN PROTECTING YOUR MAC FROM VIRUSES. IT IS SO USER FREINDLY AND IT INTEGRATES VERY WELL WITH THE SYSTEM.
    INTEGOS VIRUS BARRIER X4 HAS A FEATURE CALLED TURBO MODE, AND IT CAN SCAN AN ENTIRE HARD DISK IN MINUTES. The software doesn't hog memory, scan seeminglessly in the back round.
    IT HAS A COOL INTERFACE, AND SIMPLY TO USE, EVEN MACWORLD MAGAZINE RATES THEM NUMBER ONE.
    All the other antivirus's all come from compaies that made software for windows, they only make software form mac because the Mac population is growing. These guys are Mac only software, so they do their homework making sure it's the best.
    It's not cheap, but do research and you can find the program for $47 in some websites, sometimes lower or highier. I first got it from amazon since they are more reliable to buy from.
    I was amazed by the performance and got one for my laptop a few weeks later.

  • Problem upgrading OSX 10.4.11 to leopard on my iMac (intel)

    I'm trying to upgrade OSX 10.4.11 to leopard on my iMac (intel) I need to do this so I can update iTunes to sync with the iPhone 4. I'm getting the same error each time I try to install  "OSX cannot be installed on this computer". Can anyone help with this?

    I would max out the RAM first, 2 GB is not really enough Memory.
    You don't have to go to Leopard 1st, you can go to Snow Leopard, then Lion if you want.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they might still have it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory, I say 6 GB
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, I say 50 GB.
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

    What applications are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"?
