Just adding a point to Paul's suggestion of suppliers. (Congrats on getting to 5 figures, Paul)
In North America contact OWC …        Upgrade Apple iMac Memory
In Europe contact Crucial.com …       RAM Memory Upgrade
Both companies have facilities to guide you and will recommend the correct memory package to meet whatever needs you describe to them.
There may be benefits buying from your own geographical location insofar as Shipping charges, Local sales taxes and Exchange rates. Check out the basic memory costs and do your sums.

I have a iMac and want to know if I can add an additional hynix memory to it? It currently has one with an open slot next two it.

You can install up to 6 GBs of RAM. You have two RAM slots so you could max out the machine by installing one 2 GB module and one 4 GB module. The largest supported module is 4 GBs, but you could use only one. Best memory performance would be attained by installing two 2 GB modules to provide 4 GBs of RAM. Installing two matching modules implements dual-channel memory that will provide a small increase in memory speed.
Sorry for my memory: Good places for RAM are OWC and DataMem. You do not have to use Hynix RAM. Any RAM will be fine as long as it meets the computer's requirements which are outlined in the section of your use manual for adding memory.

I live in the US but am moving to the UK. I have a iMac and want to know if I can just exchange the power cable or will I need a transformer to be able to use it there?

I have had my iMac for about a year and have just found out that I am moving to the UK from the US. I want to take it but I don't want to damage it. Can I just get a replacement power cable in the UK (like the international switchable plugs for iPads) or will I have to use a step-down transformer? Thanks

Just the plug-end needs changed. I the UK you should beable to find the cord that plugs into the back of the iMac and has the correct wall-end.

I am currently running Mac OSx10.6.8 and need to upgrade to 10.7.5 or later to use Airport Exreme router. I am unsure about Mavericks and want to know if i can upgrade to the next highest OSX. 10.8.5? Any advice?

Can I upgrade my OS from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5 instead of going for the Maverick upgrade ? I need 10.7.5 or later to install an Airport Extreme router and I am hesitant to download Mavericks OS because of particularly bad reviews. Advice, opinions??

Yes, but it'll cost you $19.99.

I bought a new iMac and want to install my copy of CS3 on it. Currently, I have photoshop only loaded on an older G4. After installing the discs I tried to enter the serial number and an alert said the serial was already used. I did have CS3 loaded on a 2007 imac but after the harddrive died it is no longer installed. Can you help?

Are you on CC or standalone perpetual licence?
If the former I believe you merely download LR from the CC site onto your iMac and log in and off you go.
If the latter, download LR onto your Mac from the perpetual licence site (not the CC version), install it and use the same licence number as with your PC.

I am considering the purchase of an iMac or Macbook and want to know whether I can import my iTunes library of +400 albums from my Windows PC over my Home Network? 300 of these albums have been imported from CD's, so would not want to have to do that again.

Just copy the entire /Musci/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
The libraries will be identical (date added, ratings, artwork, etc.).
You can do this easily over the network.

Just Bought a Presonus Firebox and want to know if I really need to install

Just Bought a Presonus Firebox and want to know if I really need to install the presonus software that came with it?
Is it really necessary?
thanks, technoreid

The Firebox Mixer allows you to set up different
routings for the monitors and headphones. You may
never use such features, but if you do, you'll
appreciate the flexibility. It can also be used to
provide lower latency monitoring of live signals than
you might get using softwre monitoring in Logic.
For most operation, you won't need it, and you'll
control everything from Logic and the front panel
level controls.
In my opinion, the Firebox is the king of small
interfaces.
Before worrying about a tube preamp, get some mics,
and learn how to use the EQ in Logic.
+1 a solid interface
personally i use the mixer feature to switch my main outs from 1-2 to 3-4 when using traktor to let 1-2 be the headphone cue.... ect....

I have two users on my mac and want to know if I can add an iPad and to one user only?

I have a Mac, a Laptop, a Iphone and timemachine/wifi. My husband and I each have our own Logins, his is password protected. I want to know if I can add an Ipad to his profile seperately without everything being linked together. i.e.I don't want my email going to his Ipad.... (he has his own email address).

Well, for the e-mail part, you have to enter the account details into the ipad, so if you only enter your account or only his, the other won't even be on there so the e-mail will be separated.
I'm not up on separate users/partitions/accounts on the mac, but, going by PC's, you can install software that's only accessible to an individual user, same theory should apply to a mac.

I used to have an I phone but sold it and now I bought an iPad 2 and want to know is there any way to put all the stuff I bought from iTunes back when I had the phone on my new iPad ?

I want to know if I can access all the stuff I bought from iTunes a year ago

All of your "Stuff" should be on your computer. Just sync it to the ipad.
If for some reason you failed to backup your music then:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I need to upgrade my operating system, Mac OS 10.7.5, and want to know which one to use.

How can I upgrade my macbook pro Mac OS X 10.7.5?

So that is what is listed as the OS X version your Mac is now running?
If so then you have Lion. Again why do you think you need to upgrade? What did the store tell you that makes you think you need to upgrade? Are you having some type of incompatibility with some other Apple device?
You can upgrade to Mt Lion for $20 or Mavericks for free if your Mac meant the system requirements for those other versions of OS X.
But the real question is still why do you need to do this upgrade. There has to be an underlying reason for it.

Bought a new imac and want to load the Leopard software on my old imac

every time I load the disc and it goes into installation mode, it says Leopard can't be installed on this computer.
I'm using the G-5 imac without the built in camera. I have 10.4.11 currently installed on this machine.
Is there something I need to do before trying to install 10.5?
Thanks in advanced

It sounds like you are using the Drop-In DVD that came with Macs that were sold after Leopard came out but already had Tiger installed.
Those DVD's only work on a very narrow range of late model (fall 2007 - spring 2008 ?) Intel Macs, and I don't think they will work at all on any G5.
You will need to buy the retail Leopard DVD.
