Another Question about RAM

I bought my laptop in December of 2009.
13" MBPro.
I have been curious about upgrading RAM since that would be one of my only ways to improve performance. I am slowly adding to this computer so I need to improve it where possible.
I saw something about the "10%" page-in and page-out idea.
My laptop was rebooted earlier today but... as of right now...
Page-In: 474.6
Page-Out: 305.3
Would it be worth it for me to upgrade the RAM??
Any input is appreciated!

Page-outs should only be 10% or less of Page-ins - if you're seeing equal values then yes you need to add more RAM.

ANOTHER Question about my iMac G3. Mac OS X and RAM

Hey, I have ANOTHER question about my iMac G3.
I know that I'm supposed to have the latest firmware updates for my iMac G3 running OS 8.1, which I do, but I read some where these firmware updates could only be updated if you're running OS 9.2. Yet when I run the firmware updater, it says my firmware is up to date. I just wanted to make sure this was correct because I just ordered an OS X 10.2 CD today, and I don't want my mac to be "dead" when I install it.
My next question is how much RAM can my mac hold. It's an iMac G3 with a 233 mhz processor, if that makes a differemce.
Again, thanks to the people who have helped me with my first Mac.

hi there--
unfortunately you require system 9.1 or 9.2 for the required firmware update 1.2 for your computer http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117. so you'll have to install that if you want to install 10.2. it may work for you for a little while, but then you could possibly lose all your information. so i wouldn't advise attempting installing 10.2 without the correct firmware.

Question about RAM CL

Hi guys. I'm finalizing my PC build and have a question about ram CL that I cannot find answers to on the tweakers page here. http://ppbm7.com/index.php/news/planning?showall=&start=3
I'd like to use these two ram sticks as an example.
Transcend JetRam™ High-Performance 8GB DDR3-1333 240-Pin Module : CL9, 6-Layer PC Board
Transcend JetRam™ High-Performance 8GB DDR3-1600 240-Pin Module : CL11, 6-Layer PC Board, Ultimate cross-platform compatibility and stability
My question is, which is better for video editing? On the one hand we have 1333mhz at with a CL of 9. On the other, we have faster 1600mhz ram, but at a higher CL of 11. Now, I'm not one to get caught up in the technicalities like it may seem, but I do want to understand these so I can make informed decisions, especially when price is a factor. In this case however, they are the same price...

From http://ppbm7.com/index.php/news/cpu-mobo
Make up your mind about the number of memory sticks you want to install. On the X79 platform, do you want to use 4 slots, or do you want to fully populate all 8 slots? This is very important especially with i7-3930K / 4930K CPU's, which have a rather finicky memory controller.
Make a shortlist of quad or octo packs of memory sticks in the size you want, limiting yourself to ONLY sticks using 1.5V or less.
Check the motherboard manufacturer's site QVL list to see which of the sticks on your shortlist are approved. Pay attention to the number of slots for which they are approved. Some modules are approved for 4 slots only, others for fully populated use.
Check the memory manufacturer's site QVL list to see which motherboards are approved.
Try to establish if there are users that have been successful in using the sticks on your shortlist and delete any that were giving trouble to others. NewEgg can be a good source for that.
Now that you have a very short shortlist, contact the Technical Support departments of both the motherboard manufacturer and the memory manufacturer and ask them to confirm or deny the compatibility of the memory modules in the quantity you need.
If both confirm compatibility, check the physical height of the modules including heatsink in relation to the intended CPU cooler. Do they fit without modding?
In general, only buy matched sets of memory sticks. There are too many different sticks with the same type number, that will cause grief when bought as four single sticks, but you limit the risk by only buying quad sets or octo sets for fully populated X79 platforms.
CAS latency is no longer important, in fact, with the finicky nature of the memory controller of the Sandy Bridge-E, it can be advantageous to choose a higher CAS latency for improved compatibility. What can be important - relatively speaking, only in single digit % performance differences - is the rated speed of the memory, 1333 or 1600 or 2133 or even 2400.
Even though the X79 platform only supports - at least officially - up to DDR3-1600, one can use XMP profiles in the BIOS to have the memory run at its rated speed of say 2133. For my new 'Monster' I followed these steps and ended up with a fully populated 8 x 8GB octo set of G.Skill RipjawsZ F3 DDR3-2133 sticks that are running without any problems at 2180 MHz.

Yet another question about super raid - GS70

Yes, another question about Super Raid...I recently picked up the cheapest model of the GS70 on newegg which comes with 1 mSata SSD...just a mediocre one if I remember reading correctly. I'm interested in using MSI's Super Raid once my warranty is over with and have been reading a couple posts here:
1. Walk through of how to reinstall OS
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=167198.msg1224063#msg1224063
2. I'll need a Super Raid card with links to get some, for about $100 each
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171722.msg1252847#msg1252847
3. I can't get Super Raid unless it originally came with it?
--> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171185.msg1249640#msg1249640
So what's the bottom line? Would I still be able to enable super raid in the future or am I SOL since it didn't come with it originally?
thanks!

The GT70 CAN come with an adapter that has 2 (on the older, GT70 0NX models) or 3 (on newer GT70 20X models) sockets for mSATA drives. It's an optional part, that takes place of the primary SATA drive in the notebook, and physically has a different part that connects to the motherboard. If it doesn't come with the SuperRaid adapter, then it just has support for a single 2.5" SATA drive.
The GS70 on the otherhand, has this built into the motherboard and there is no swapping it out for a normal 2.5" SATA drive. You can only use mSATA drives (on those ports). The GS70 is meant to be an ultrabook, and therefore does not have the same ability as the GT70 to house up to 2 full size 2.5" SATA drives.
That's really the main difference here. Without physically seeing a GT70 to see how the SuperRaid adapter works, it's slightly difficult to explain.
But in the end, I wouldn't worry about the SuperRaid....The GS70 should have support for Intel Raid Management Engine, in which case that's all you really need.

Another question about gmail

I just posted a question about adding gmail and it was answered. Now, I have another question, I added the new gmail account. It shows in the mail preferences under accounts. Incoming mail addressed to gmail comes to the Archive Box. But I still can't send mail by gmail because in the drop down menu on the email it only lists my other two accounts. Gmail is not an option. I highlighted gmail in the account list and it showed that as the account in use. But, still there was no gmail option on the email form in the sender box. How do I fix that?

You need to look at and read over these very carefully.

Another question about adding music to iPhone

Apologies for yet another question regarding adding music to an iPhone but I am completely stuck.
I bought a new laptop in January (it runs windows 8). I've authorised it and synced my phone to it before. I've used it to add music before.
Lately I've just been buying music directly from itunes on my phone but I wanted to add some music from my older collection that is on an external harddrive.
I've gone through the process of syncing the phone again, which has wiped whatever was on there. I made sure I'd ticked on the "manually manage music" box.
It's put all my purchased music back but it still will not let me drag and drop music from my external harddrive. When I hover over with the file it has "link" but it won't actually send the music to the phone.
Is there a way for me to do this without putting music on to my itunes library? I don't like itunes and I definitely don't want to add the music to my laptop as it defeats the purpose of having an external harddrive! Sorry for such a long-winded explanation.

Just to add... I've now tried adding music to the library (getting desperate here) and it's not letting me do that either. Just says 'link'.
This is the most frustrating thing ever. Why are the simplest of tasks made so difficult? It seems like it only works if you buy the music from the iTunes store.

Yet another question about burners for iDVD 6

It's not my intention to be redundant and the question about which DVD burners are compatible with the most recent release of iDVD has been asked a few times since iLife '06 was released at MacWorld last week. Yet, though Apple has announced it, why have they not posted a list of compatible devices?
Or, is the onus on the manufacturers to certify that their burners are compatible with iDVD 6?
In either case, has anyone determined if this information is available and, if so, where?
Thanks.

Or, is the onus on the manufacturers to certify that their burners are compatible with iDVD 6?
Check with the support sections of the manufacturer's websites - after all, THEY are the ones trying to sell burners.

Another question about upgrading RAM on G4 iMac

I know that there are numerous threads on this forum about upgrading RAM and I am sorry to have to open another one but, having read many of them, I am still confused!
I have unopened copies of Leopard and ILife 08 that I am planning to install on my 17-inch 1GHz G4 iMac with 768 MB of RAM (256 MB in the factory slot and 512 MB in the user accessible slot). I know that this model does not support all the functions of these programs but I am currently running Panther and the very first iLife so I think it's time for an upgrade!
Apple states that this model supports up to 1GB RAM so I have been thinking that in order to get the best out of the new software I should upgrade to 1GB RAM. My questions are:
1. Do I need to upgrade or is the existing RAM of 768 MB likely to be sufficient?
2. If I upgrade, how easy is it to add RAM to the factory slot? I have searched but can find no instructions on this here or on the Apple website which implies that this is not recommended.
3. Several threads on this forum seem to suggest that, in order to avoid having to mess with the factory slot, it is possible to put 1GB RAM in the user accessible slot and leave the factory slot well alone, resulting in total RAM greater than the maximum recommended by Apple. Is this correct or have I misunderstood?
Thanks in advance.

1. Do I need to upgrade or is the existing RAM of 768 MB likely to be sufficient?
That will probably be sufficient. You could always install and run both Leopard and iLife '08 and see if you feel that they are working OK before buying any RAM.
2. If I upgrade, how easy is it to add RAM to the factory slot? I have searched but can find no instructions on this here or on the Apple website which implies that this is not recommended.
Apple does not post the directions because this is not considered something that a user can do by themselves.
You can see the process at www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/iMacg4/imacg4takeapart.html
3. Several threads on this forum seem to suggest that, in order to avoid having to mess with the factory slot, it is possible to put 1GB RAM in the user accessible slot and leave the factory slot well alone, resulting in total RAM greater than the maximum recommended by Apple. Is this correct or have I misunderstood?
That is correct. You could replace the 512 MB in the user accessible slot with 1 GB to provide a total RAM of 1.256 GB.

Questions about Ram!

I am sure I asked this question when I got my iMac 4 months ago (to the day!) but I want to ask again.
I have an iMac G5 rev B 2.0 ghz with 1.5 gigs of ram. I have the stick that came in it and a 1gb samsung ram (http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=13836&vpn=SAMSUNG32001024&manufacture=Sam sung) - I am wondering if I should upgrade to 2gigs, get another stick the same so it will run at 128 bit.
I have started playing World of Warcraft... it runs great! Perhaps a litlte shakey compared to my bfs windows machine with 2gigs of ram and a Nivida 6800 but I am wondering if more ram (running at 128 bit) would make a noticable difference. I keep checking and I have never got a page out except once or twice when I first got the computer.
Is it worth the money to add another gig stick (well really only another 512) - is the samsung ram okay? Someone told me I shouold use OC but then someone else told me that Samsung is just as good.
I am happy with the way it is now, but this ram keeps dropping in price... so I am just wondering.
Thanks!

I did just what you are asking for the same reason. I play WoW ( On khadgar server.) and I had 1.50 and went to 2. I noticed no change. The 128 bit processing IMO is over rated and doesnt do anything thats noticable to the user. At least I didnt notice it. I say save your money, I dont think youd notice much of a difference.
On a side note, you can change your video settings in the game to help with any lag you are getting.

Compatibility question about RAM

Having replaced it with 1GB RAM I am selling off the following...
Make: KINGSTON
Size: 256 MB
Type: DDR SDRAM
Speed: PC2700U-25330
Used, 3-years old, original component taken from iMac G4 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 (17-inch flat panel).
A prospective buyer has asked:
"Hi, i have an imac g4 15inch flatscreen thats about 4 years old, do you know if this memory is compatible?"
Does anyone know the answer?
thanx

4 years ago Apple was selling the 700 MHz and 800 MHz 15" G4 iMacs which are not compatible with PC2700 RAM.

Another question about multiple copies

I've seen several others posting questions lately about making multiple copies, but my question is just slightly different. I'll be making an iDVD project for our 5th Grade Recognition at school. Obviously, I'll be making it on my Mac at home. However, once it's finished and I have my final DVD, I'm going to need to make over 50 copies.
Last year, when I did the presentation as a Powerpoint show, it was easy enough to use multiple (Windows) computers at school to duplicate. There are 4 computers that I used to just rotate CD's in and out of to make copies.
Will I be able to use a Windows machine to make copies of an iDVD disk? I know that the computers can burn DVD's, so that's not an issue. I can't remember exactly which programs the computer have. I believe that one is Sonic something. The one that I used for CD's was IRecordNow (or something like that).
Is there any "protection" placed on the iDVD disk that will prevent me from placing the iDVD into the drive and choosing "copy" in whatever program that I use?

Is there any "protection" placed on the iDVD disk that will prevent me from placing the iDVD into the drive and choosing "copy" in whatever program that I use?
No. Only DVDs made in a production house have copy protection applied.

Another question about smart playlists

Hi,
I have been experimenting a lot with smart playlists lately and have 3 now that I have set up with help from this forum so far. However, I have a question I don't see an obvious answer to. That is, I have every song in at least one playlist, and some songs are in multiple playlists. I can add a playlist to a rule, but how can I tell ITunes to create a playlist containing songs that are in more than one playlist? For example, I want ITunes to create a playlist from songs that are in more than one of the following playlists, top 25 most played, purchased, and tagged. How can I set up ITunes to do this?

The checkmark on the right side when you're editing smart playlists adds more rules. Make as many rules as there are playlist that you're looking into and make each rule say "playlist _is_ (fill in the playlist from the dropdown." If you want songs that appear in ALL the selected playlists you select match ALL of the rules at the top. If you want songs that appear in any of the playlists you've selected you have to select match ANY rule at the top. If you have three playlists and you're looking for any songs that appear on any two of the playlists, but they don't necessarily have to appear on all three, then unfortunately there's no way to do that with one smart playlist. You'd have to make a smart playlist with one saying playlist top 25 most played+purchased (match ALL) another saying with playlist top 25 most played+tagged (match ALL), another saying playlists purchased+tagged(match ALL). Then you could make a 4th smart playlists saying to add the other three playlists and you'd end up with one playlist that has only songs that appear in ANY of the other three.
Note: there's an option that appears to make subrules as if you could do the above all in one playlist but unfortunately these don't actually work the way they appear they should in my experience.

Another question about a VI I obtained from a NI forum.

The append_column VI attached below has two FOR LOOPs. When this VI is executed The first FOR LOOP executes 10 times as indicated by the CONSTANT 10 wired to the [COUNT] or [N]. My question falls after the first FOR LOOP is complete. How is the second FOR LOOP activated. I thought the [N] had to be wired for the FOR LOOP to execute? In this VI the second FOR LOOP doesn't have the [N] wired to anything so how does it know to execute 10 times which it does?

Hi
Actually there is a another way to set the number of times a FOR loop should run, which is illustrated by the VI in question.
Any array input to the FOR loop may used to set the number of times to run. Look at the string array input of the VI, inside the FOR loop the array is not an array anymore, but rather simple strings, this input is set to "Enable indexing". Inside the loop the individual elements of the array is automatically extracted from the array one at a time. I.e the first run of the loop extracts the first element of the array, the second run of the loop gets the second element of the array. The FOR loop will run until all the elemnts of the array has been "read".
You win twice with this design, first, You don't have to know how many times to
run the loop, it will always run as many times as there are elements in the array. Second, You don't have to index the array inside the loop with array indexing tools, it is automatically done by the FOR loop.
You enable / disable this feature by right-clicking the array connection on the loop and selsecting enable/disable array.

Another question about listbox

I designed a process in workbench which gets all information about customer and fills in rows which is under the table but I want to list them as a list in listbox or row by row it doesnt matter . The problem is I have no idea to do ? can you give some clue or hint or example?
thank you very much

Blue folders are mailboxes. For each blue folder in Mail there is a corresponding folder in the filesystem within HOME/Library/Mail. Its name has an .mbox suffix if mail is stored locally and .imapmbox if mail stored remotely on the server.
White folders are meant to organize mail hierarchically and cannot contain messages of their own, only subfolders or mailboxes. For each white folder in Mail there is a corresponding folder in the filesystem within HOME/Library/Mail. Its name has no suffix.
That's the easy part. Things are way more intricate than that, however. For one thing, blue folders are also allowed to contain other subfolders (either blue or white) in addition to messages of themselves. When this happens, there is a folder with .mbox/.imapmbox suffix and another without, and both are associated with the same blue folder in Mail. Also, under some circumstances, Mail does let you drop messages on white folders, but it cannot handle the situation properly thereafter -- see Mail loses messages moved into IMAP folders.
