After upgrading to ML, now a RAM Failure

I have a 2009 MacBook Pro. I use it for my business in a retail store. I upgraded it 2 months ago from 4gb to 8gb RAM. I even made sure the RAM was compatible. It is not made by Apple (RAM). Today I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and the computer won't turn on. When I try, it makes 3 loud beeps continuously. I tried to re-seat the RAM, with no luck. If i put the old 4gb (2 2GB sticks) RAM in, the computer boots fine and Mountain Lion runs. If I try to return to the upgraded RAM, it will not boot but give me a RAM failure audible beep. The 4GB is TOO SLOW! I'd rather have 8GB of RAM running on Lion then 4GB running on Mountain Lion. Has anyone had this issue or have any suggestions? I NEED this computer for my business and its SUPER important. I actually use it as my register. PLEASE!!

I can't tell if its Value RAM or just regular. It doesnt say Value on it. As for an update, I have reset the PRAM and SMC with no luck. The only thing that does work, is leaving (1) of the old 2 GB sticks in with (1) of the new 4GB sticks. This for some reason works and the machine is testing OK with 6 GB of RAM. However, once I try to place the other new 4 GB stick in for the complete 8GB upgrade, I get the 3 Beep RAM failure on startup. Anyone have any ideas ?
Yes, return the Kingston Ram and order from www.crucial.com or www.macsales.com, reports of problems with Kingston Ram are commonplace.

After upgrading iTunes i now have the error box AppleSyncNotifier.exe

The message reads 'The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll.
Can anyone help with this as I am unable to back up or sync my iphone

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

IPod in iPhone 3Gmusic doesn't work after upgrade to iOS4

My iPhone is very unstable after upgrade to iOS4 and one major failure is that iPod music doesn't work properly, some song (recently purchased from iTunes) cannot be played even if it is in the list. There are a lot of new space in memory after upgrade, seems songs are removed or compressed in some stupid way.
Spotify is also working like **** after upgrade to iOS4. Also big problems with the phone being slow and hanging in many different kind of modes.
From being a real iPhone fan, I am very disappointed. Maybe Apple think they are immortal now and think they can release any kind of crap and still keep their customers...

Mac Mini stuck at boot after upgrading to Yosimite

Hi All,
I am using mac Mini late 2012 model with 4 gb ram. I have recently upgraded to OSX Yosimite.
But now I am facing issue with it.
My Mac stops at boot. With Apple logo, grey/white screen and progree bar with 0% progress.
If I keep it as it is for some time, Mac mini temperature rises and i feel the heat while touching the mac mini. And still progress bar show 0% progress.
But when I switch it off with the help of power button and restart it, it works fine.
This happen every now and then. I have only monitor, Bluetooth mouse, wired keyboard and LAN cable attached to it. (WIFI stops working after upgrading to OSX now there is no wifi icon in system preferences or in task bar )
I have tried clean install also. But no success.
Please suggest why it stops at 0% progress bar. This is working fine before upgrading.
Regards
Siddharth

Hi Adding screenshot of the same. It stuck at 0 %

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse keeps freezing after upgrading to Leopard

My bluetooth mighty mouse has frequent, intermittent freezes (which appear to be a loss of sync to the iMac) after upgrading to Leopard (now 10.5.1) from 10.4.11 on my iMac 24" alum body. This mouse was rock solid on my iMac running Tiger. Luckily I do have a corded mouse which I've been forced to use the past week or so.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks.

I was just trying to help my Dad with the same exact issue (Mighty Mouse stops working on waking from sleep & trying to open bluetooth prefs at that point causes the system to lock up. Have to hold down power button to reboot)
Oddly I have Leopard on my iMac 2.16 Core 2 Duo and have no issues with my Mighty Mouse.
Hopefully someone comes up with an answer .... My Dad is 80 and just bought a new Powerbook and Mighty Mouse. It's hard to explain why the mouse doesn't work.

G4 AGP Graphics - 2nd display won't work after upgrading from os 10.2

I have a desktop G4 AGP Graphics with two displays. When I was running os 9-10.2, the second display worked fine, but after upgrading the os (now running 10.4), the second display still works, but has turned gray and pixelated.
When I take a screen shot, the picture shows that both displays appear clear (and in color).
Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for any suggestions

so do you have 2 different video cards driving two different monitors? or is it One video card with 2 displays?
the info you listed isnt very detailed but it does tell me you got an ATI video card with 16MB VRAM.
I assume that thats the Stock AGP 2x graphics card that came the The PowerMac G4 AGP graphics model.
why is your display set to 8bit depth? a stock 2x AGP card with 16MB VRAM should be able to support 16bit or 24bit depth even at 1024 x 768 res.
the info says also Core image not support as well as Quartz Extreme no supported. Which is significant because it could be why the 2nd Monitor doesnt display properly with Tiger.
under 10.2 there were less stringent requirements for driving video.
OSX 10.4 Tiger is much more advanced OS and has higher graphics cards requirements now.
I could be wrong, but I think you may need a newer video card that supports Quartz Extreme and Core image.
hopefully someone else will run by this topic and offer some insight aside from my own.

Upgraded to 1 gig of ram now programs load slow

Quoting from the Memtest86 readme
14) Known Problems
==================
Sometimes when booting from a floppy disk the following messages scroll up
on the screen:
X:8000
AX:0212
BX:8600
CX:0201
DX:0000
This the BIOS reporting floppy disk read errors. Either re-write or toss
the floppy disk.
Memtest86 has no support for multiple CPUs. Memtest86 should run
without problems, but it will only use one CPU.
Memtest86 can not diagnose many types of PC failures. For example a
faulty CPU that causes Windows to crash will most likely just cause
Memtest86 to crash in the same way.
There have been numerous reports of errors in only tests 5 and 8 on Athlon
systems. Often the memory works in a different system or the vendor insists
that it is good. In these cases the memory is not necessarily bad but is
not able to operate reliably at Athlon speeds. Sometimes more conservative
memory timings on the motherboard will correct these errors. In other
cases the only option is to replace the memory with better quality, higher
speed memory. Don't buy cheap memory and expect it to work with an Athlon!
Memtest86 supports all types of memory. If fact the test has absolutely
no knowledge of the memory type nor does it need to. This not a problem
or bug but is listed here due to the many questions I get about this issue.
Changes in the compiler and loader have caused problems with
Memtest86 resulting in both build failures and errors in execution. A
binary image (precomp.bin) of the test is included and may be used if
problems are encountered.

Safari Plug-In Failure after upgrading Flash Player

I've got OS X 10.9.2, Maverick, running on my iMac, and Safari 7.0.3.
Today I upgraded Flash Player to 13.0.0.182 version.
After upgrading I starting receiving the error message "Plug-in Failure" in every page I opened with video broadcasting, such as Youtube for instances, and no videos would be displayed anymore.
I already reinstalled Flash Player, rebooted my machine, have all plug-ins enabled in Safari Preferences, but no success whatsoever.
Think the solution could be downgrading to the early version of Flash Player, but have no idea how to do that now, since the Adobe site only allows me to UPgrade and not DOWNgrade.
Could anyone help me with this?
Many Thanks...

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS from HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out! When I checked my backup file in Outlook Express it was also wiped out!!! What can I do now?

Hi, I have an iphone 3GS purchased in HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out. When I checked my backed up file in Outlook Express, it was also wiped out during the synchronization. I tried to restore from backup on iTunes but still, the contact was not there anymore. I have contacted your HK Apple Hotline and talked to a technical support called TIMMY LO, he said there is nothing to do with them and he refused to provide any support to recover my contact, he even said I should try to pay extra money to 3rd party supplier and see what they can do to my iphone, despite the fact that this could be caused by the pre-mature release of 4.3.3 when a bug still hasn't been fixed. I am very disappointed at Apple's service, especially considering that I have been a loyal customer of iphone / ipod touch in the past few years. I need an official reply from Apple on this! How can Apple be so irresponsible to their own firmware failure??

I tried this for both my 3GS and 4GS too and both have the same problem. APPLE INC please rectify this serious problem as soon as possible.

Did you read your other posted question, that has been answered.

After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade my iPhoto, now the full res versions of my images cannot be found.

After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade my iPhoto, now the full res versions of my images cannot be found. I had created a book to print (before upgrade) but, after the upgrade the book can't be created as I get the message that images can't be found. However, if I search for the filename I can find the image. I tried repairing library as per support instructions but it hasn't helped. Any advice gratefully received. Thanks.

Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - apply Option #4, Rebuild Database.

After upgrading to Yosemite I had to upgrade iPhoto and now it says I need to update my photo library or it will be lost...HELP

After upgrading to Yosemite, I had to upgrade iPhoto. Now when I try to open iPhoto I get the following message:
The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version iPhoto.
Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete .
Question is...how do i upgrade the photo library?

You can't back up an open iPhoto...
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version"

After upgrading to Yosemite (I don't have iPhoto anymore, only PHOTOS) my pictures will not import from my iPad or iPhone 5s or any picture from web, it shows "Database Error: failured to persist version". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry,
Yes, the error message is exactly like that ("Database error: failured to persist version")
No photos will import at all. I use USB to import from iPhone 5s or iPad 2.
About the difference? iPhoto and Photos . Are there two softwares?
I also will like to merge and/or synchronize all my photos I had saved to iCloud backups, Macbook Pro, iPhone 5s and iPad hard drives using iPhoto. It's call iPhoto library. At one point I turned off streaming.
Thanks again Larry HN.
