2GB memory...bad

appears/disappears. Be absolutely sure they work or are guaranteed by distributor.

My input is that, yes, there are bad memory sticks out there period! This has been the case since the dawn of time.
If you shop for memory (or perhaps any consumer good, but I digress...) based on price alone without any regard to reputation, history, or policies of the vendor then there is some Latin phrase that can be tossed at you!
I found a memory vendor years ago that I continue to use to this day. I had a 6500 tower, and it took 4 attempts for them to get me a working 256MB stick. I stuck with them because to my satisfaction they did everything right in an effort to correct the situation, communicated with me constantly, and although at the time it must have cost the several hundred dollars, the made things right and as a result they have a very loyal customer.
To this day I but whatever memory I need from them. Turns out that they have some of the better prices, and a rock-solid guarantee!
What the dude is saying is: Buyer Beware!
I always saw the analogy this way: I am spending a few extra bucks for my Apple brand of CPU because I want quality. It ain't a bad way to go when shopping for memory either folks.
Peace-

I have Nokia N72 phone and just purchased 2gb memory. Somehow this phone does not recognize the 2bg memory. Anyone out here can help me, please. Do I need to update its firmware or what? I don't want to purchase another 1Gb memory. It may be not work either. I would like to use this 2gb memory; so that I can store more video and pictures. Hope to hear from someone soon with good recommendation on how to make it works.
Thanks...

My latest mystery USB 2gb memory not recognized

Just today when I plugged in a 2GB memory card dongle that used to work perfectly - my Macbook 13 won't recognise that anything has been plugged in. The device lights up but nothing appears on the desktop or in the Hard Drive root as a removable drive the way it used to.
I can't access it. Does anyone know why it would behave like this.
I've not told it to ignore any usb plugins. In fact the last thing I plugged in about a week ago was an EYE TV digital Freeview tuner which worked perfectly and I properly closed that and removed it when I shut down.
Why would it not read from the San Disk USB stick suddenly ?
I can't solve this one without help.
Hope someone can
Plado

I'll just go and mark this as answered because your help is indirectly very useful.
But what I actually did to solve it was I tried a reboot but no luck.
Then I went back to carry out a full Software Update which I had refused a few days ago because it asked to update at a time very inconvenient to me and I didn't want the interruption.
So I did a software update while looking for an alternative USB memory card. And after the update was complete and the system rebooted the USB was back to recognizing anything I plugged in including the Memory card that had failed.
The bad thing though is that once again the Software Update has prevented SAFARI from running and I've got to download it again and reinstall it. What IS going on with this Macbook Leopard system? It seems full of utterly ridiculous bugs that Mac have no business letting something in this messy state out on the market.
I'm sorry to be ranting like this but the average user would be constantly on the Support Line trying to solve problems that keep making the thing get stuck.
I have to say I am by now very unimpressed with the Apple Mac OS X and I am going to have to severely restrict my use of the machine because it just isn't versatile or well enough sorted compared with Microsoft Windows.
Thanks for you input.
I think it's solved so I will mark the question closed but I still have to go and get this stalled Corrupted Safari back working again. What a bore!

2Gb Memory Modules - Power Mac G5?

New here, but a returning Mac user.... at last....
Just got hold of an older (early 2005) G5 Power Mac (Dual 2.7Ghz). Can anyone tell me if it's OK to upgrade the memory using 2Gb memory modules (assuming of course I have matching pairs, and don't exceed the max memory - 8Gb I think)?
Sorry, I'm only able to find that 2 x 1Gb modules is OK, but so far nothing on 2 x 2Gb modules...
Thanks.
~Mark~

2 x 2Gb modules will not work.

Satellite Pro P100: What is the Toshiba part number for a 2GB memory module

Unable to find any way of emailing this question so I have posted it on the forum. Sure this info should be more readily available without having to ask.

Crucial Memory gives me this module - is that correct?

Found this via Kingstons site - is this also correct?
http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?QuickLinx=4P3V
Would really appreciate some official clarification here.
Many Thanks

It must be PA3513U-1M2G. You must check if this module is compatible with your notebook model. I think so.
Anyway I recommend you to buy high quality product like Kingston modules.

I have a MacBook Pro 5,5 2.26 Ghz 2GB memory . Can I run OSX 10.7 . I am on 10.6.8 and am told software is up to date?

I would like to be able to run OSX 7 on my wife's MacBook Pro , as I have a new printer which required OSX7 or above.
Her Macbook Pro is Model MacBook Pro 5,5 2,26GHz speed and 2GB memory.
When I look for software updates I get the message that software is up to date.
Is it possible to run OSX7 on this Macbook Pro , and if so , how do I get it.
Many thanks , Sam

Open the Mac App Store and download Yosemite, or if you don't want to upgrade all the way immediately, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7; codes for Mountain Lion are also available.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

I am trying to purchase os x lion from app store. Getting a response saying I need 2GB memory available but I have at least 40GB free space??

I am trying to purchase os x lion from app store. Getting a response saying I need 2GB memory available but I have at least 40GB free space??

Memory = Ram, the 40G free space you are referring to is hard drive storage space available, 2 very different things.
In order to run Lion you MUST have at least a Core 2 Duo processor and 2G of Ram, to find out whether you qualify (and it seems as though you don't) go to
Apple>About this Mac: you will be able to see the processor type and Ram installed thus
If you have less than 2G of Ram you can install more, if however you have a Core Duo (instead of Core 2 Duo) you can not run Lion.

Can i use 2gb memory in one slot in my 2006 Mac mini as the 2 slots of 1gb only reports only 1gb memory, both memory work ok in the one slot

Can I use 2gb memory in one slot in my 2006 Mac mini as the 2 slots of 1gb only reports as 1gb memory, both memory work ok in the one slot as I have swapped them over

To my knowledge 1GB modules are the max. size for the 2006 Mini.
2GB modules are not recognized/useable.
Sorry

HT201364 my apple computer is a 10.5.8 osx with 2GB memory can I upgrade this computer?

can I upgrade my apple computer 10.5.8 osx with 2GB memory to be able to download Itunes etc.

It depends on what model of Mac you have. If it's a PowerPC-based Mac, 10.5.8 is the last version your system can run. If you have an Intel-based Mac, you can probably upgrade at least to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
but whether you can upgrade further will again depend on the specific model you have. If you'll tell us, we can tell you the versions of OS X it can run.

How to transfer itunes to another computer using a 2gb memory stick

I would appreciate some help please
Thanks in advance
Sam

Assuming all your music and files will fit on a 2GB memory stick, you could use the method below with a minor adjustent.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
If the whole thing won't fit on the memory stick, as seems likely, it would be better to go for another method such as the iPod as in the link or an external HD.

Windows 7 Starter supporting 2GB memory?

I upgraded my Ideapad s10-3, (which I just bought a few weeks ago) with a 2 GB memory module. I wonder if Windows 7 Starter supports 2GB memory. In the manuals it it is said, w7 Starter does not support 2GB. However, when I start up the Task Manager it shows memory usage of over 1GB, depending on how many applications I have started. How can I check it. Any help is appreciated.
Klaus
Solved!
Go to Solution.

@ vijaysaradhi your link goes to this page. @ KlausWieland what does it say when you open the system settings in the control panel or by right clicking my computer and click properties. It will show you there.

Yes. You should be fine with Snow Leopard, but Lion requires a minimum of 2 GBs of RAM. If you upgrade to Lion I would first upgrade your RAM to at least 4 GBs if your model supports it. Also, see:
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).

Is it possible to upgrade my macbook air 13" from 1.86 GHz 128 gb flash and 2GB memory to the 2.13 GHz 256 and 4GB memory, how much would it cost?

Is it possible to upgrade my macbook air 13" from 1.86 GHz 128 gb flash and 2GB memory to the 2.13 GHz 256 and 4GB memory, how much would it cost?

About the only thing that "might" be able to do is upgrade the SSD. OWC sells SSD upgrades for that unit. You would have to contact Apple though to verify that no warranty issues would apply when making the upgrade.
