Apple finally cleared up the self-installation of RAM

It turns out that I can install RAM myself without voiding the warranty. So, what's brand(s) should I go with? I don't want to pay $600 obviously, or I'd go with Apple's RAM. I'd like to stay under $350 (which seems to leave plenty of room for the higher cost hardware), but don't want to trade quality for savings. QUALITY is necessary, but savings would be nice. Also, does anyone know of a decent quality ESD grounding unit to use.? This is only going to be used for swapping the memory, so it doesn't have to be high-end.

While you don't reaaly need a device to get your electro static discharge sorted here is cheap one anyway:

I have forgotten how many ram's I have changed and have never used one nor have I burnt a ram module for that matter..just make sure you touch a metal water tap or something like that to get the charge of yourself if any before touching the rams ..Unplug your machine and remove it's battery if you can .Press it's power button shortly to short the power circuit and get any charge off of there as well .
And for the rams if you mention how big and what kind of a setup you are after I might be of more help ..for example 2 x 2 GB DDR3 1066 etc ...
Also specifying for which machine they are intended will certainly help

Apple Finally responds to the Nano issues! NEW

Vice President of Apple, Phillip Schiller has said regarding cracked LCD's:
"This is a real but minor issue involving a vendor quality problem in a small number of units, said Schiller. In fact, this issue has affected less than 1/10 of 1 percent of the total iPod nano units that weve shipped. It is not a design issue. Schiller said that if customers find they have this problem, all they have to do is contact AppleCare and their iPod will be replaced.
And regarding scratches:
Apple said that the screens on the iPod nano are made with the same material that is found in the companys fourth-generation iPod, which, to date, is complaint free.
If customers are concerned about scratching we suggest they use one of the many iPod nano cases to protect their iPod.

Well I'm happy they've responded and cleared up the matter as to whether or not the materials are different from the other 21 million iPods they've sold.. They are not. The only difference is black shows the hairline scratches much more than white.
Better yet, they've isolated the cracked LCD to a manufacturing problem for less than 1% of units shipped and are replacing the broken units.
Now, we can say goodbye to this madness and Apple can get back to selling millions and millions of these things.
Oh yeah, get a case!

Apple:PLEASE clear up the AT&T mess.

I bought the iphone in Jan 2008, got the 3g 8gig in July 08 for $199, the fully subsidized price...I would be interested in doing the same in the next months to get the 3gs, I was told by the 611 operator that it would cost me $399 for the $199 3gs if I dont wait till December 12 2009. So it is better for me to pay the ETF and get the new discount. I asked why they could do the pricing last year, but not this year, she claimed that it was all Apples call.
Please Apple, for everyones sake, release a joint statement with ATT that clearly lays out the upgrade path. The treatment that iPhone customers are receiving in this deal seems very un-apple-like.

To elaborate a bit: Your first iPhone 2G, that you bought in January 2008 was NOT a subsidized phone, you paid full price for it, so there was no waiting period to upgrade when you bought the iPhone 3G. The contract/process changed with the release of the iPhone 3G and you could buy it as a subsidized price, but this also meant you needed to pay off the subsidy to be eligible for an upgrade. This is the way the process works for ALL subsidized phones with ALL cell phone providers.
How much is the ETF for your account? If it is the full $175 you will come out $1 more to upgrade immediately and you will most likely have to change your phone number. Personally ask yourself if it is worth the money to wait 6 months?

Apple final nail in the coffin for professional editing

Continually discontinuing programs (end of FCP, DVD studion pro, Livetype etc) , ommting peripherals on new machines.. (NO FIREWIRE, NO DVD DRIVE on new imacs) , not selling the Mac pro anymore..and replacing them with expensive 'upgrades' (thunderbolt) making life very hard & expensive for those who have bought previous drives/output devices/software that works well.
I recently shelled out just shy of £2k on a new Imac.. doowh why did i do that.. No dvd drive so I cannot load my programs, have to buy one, Thunderbolt is good in say 5 years but not yet, at least give me 1 Firewire port please! Then I realise that loads of my programs will not run, as they are PowerPC programs, they are not supporting Rossetta.. so I am buggered..
Luckliy I have Avid anyway... at least there software is backward compatible and they dont conn you into buying new kit and then a few years later it wont load on your expensive new shiny computer unbelievably money grabbing in my book..

If the cost to upgrade your software is really an issue, one would have to question your self-designation as a professional.
But in any event, even as a hobbyiest, you can run your PowerPC software in Mountain Lion by installing Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8:

Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping costs at 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only).

The self-installation kit was not delivered!

I had switch my High speed internet to high speed internet enhanced on May 2nd. They said that the modem would be included. They had activated it on May 5th. They also said that the modem would be at my home 1-2 days before the activation. Today is May 6th and I still had no recieved my modem. My high speed internet has been activated but not fully installed since my installation-kit has not arrived yet. Is it usual that the kit takes this long to arrive?

I to have the same problem, kit was meant to arrive today, 5/6/2011, but no kit, had spoken to Verizon on Wednesday and they said kit was to be delivered by UPS on the 6th. Used UPS tracking number and it said on time for delivery on 5/9/2011. Talked to Verizon and all they said was sorry, but you will get it on the 9th, so I am being billed for the high speed (7.1-15Mbps) ,( which shows activated and order complete on my Verizon , yet fastest speed I can get on download is 4-5 Mbps) yet I can't use it

When will apple finally fix all the email issues for everyone? Mine is dead

I have read all of the answers to problems and have tried every solution posted and my account email is still acting like is uploading and updating but nothing comes up on the screen. I noticed that a lot of people here has some type of issue with emails which it happens to be at least for me one of the main reasons to buy the iphone (besides how cool it is)
Would apple realize all this issues and help us all to get functionality in the emails? Or there is somebody in this discussion that still have some tricks up their sleeve? I'll take every help i can get, right now I'm the joke of the office as everybody else have Treos and get their email working fine. Its frustrating and frankly the iphone beats the other phones hands down but it wont work!!!!!!!
Help !!!!!!!

Zapallin,
Much of what we have to work with is the email servers and settings that your email provider requires.
What type of email account are you accessing?
Do you notice the same behavior on Wi-Fi and EDGE both?
Is this your own account, a work account with an Exchange server, or a domain that you have hosted somewhere?
This article discusses, including an explanation why in the footnote, some of hte issues with sending email:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305634
This article discusses setting up an account to access an Exchange server, such as in an office environment:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305883
The note at the top mentions IMAP must be enabled on the Exchange server. In addition many workplaces put their Exchange server behind a firewall, and need to allow access past the firewall either by opening ports up, or via VPN for the Exchange server to work for users outside of the company network.
Hope this helps, and I will try to help further when we have more information about your specific email setup.

Items are missing in self-installation kit

I ordered high speed internet (faster plan) yesterday. I chose combined modem and wireless router.
Today I just received the self-installation kit and I found out that several items are missing. The first one is the phone line filter and the second one is the CD.
The package only contains a modem, phone line, cable line, power cord, user guide, and quick uide. That is it.
I want to know what else is missing in my package?
Thank You in advance.

Ok.

How can I change the apple ID on my iPhone to clear all contents and installation?

I still have my iPhone 4s, Which I stopped using when the screen died. I bought a new iPhone 5s. Since, I've changed my Apple ID main e-mail address.
Today I had the screen of the old 4s fixed. Now I want to clear all contents and installation so that I can sell it.
Problem is, that it keeps asking me to verify my Apple ID with my old e-mail address, which obviously doesn't work.
I've allready changed the Apple ID e-mail address in the Apple-ID area in settings. But this doesn't help.
Does anyone know the way out of this?!?
Thanks!

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repurchased Garageband and I can't get passed the complete installation. I don't seem to have the "com.apple.garageband.plist" file that has been a common solution. Any suggestions?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repurchased Garageband and I can't get passed the complete installation. I've read through several posts that all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist. Any solutions or suggestions?

Did you upgrade from SnowLeopard?
I can't get passed the complete installation
What exactly is happening? Is GarageBand trying to download over and over again?
all reference the "com.apple.garageband.plist" solution. I don't seem to have the referenced .plist.
The property list stores your preferences, but also the settings from the last run of the application. If that file is corrupted in some way, you might see third behaviour.
You must have this file, for it will be recreated automatically, if it is missing, or you have a permissions problem with your user library.
Perhaps you did look in he wrong place.
in MacOS 10.7. or later the User Library is hidden. To find the Preferences Files use the Finder's "Go" menu:
Quit GarageBand, if it is running.
Click onto you Desktop to bring the Finder forward.
In the Finder Menu press "Go" and hold down the "option/alt" key, until your user library appears in the drop-down menu
Select "Library" and in the Finder window that opens navigate to the "Prederences" folder; move com.apple.garageband.plist to the Desktop.
Log off and on again (don't skip that step!). Retry GarageBand and see if it GarageBand is now downloading the missing content properly.
If that does not fix the problem, post back and explain in more detail what the download problem is.
Why did you "repurchase" GarageBand? If you already owned GarageBand '11, it should be unnecessary.

I need to reinstall my Canon Pixma Pro 9500 MK 2 printer on my iMac running Mavericks. It looks for software but Apple cannot find. The driver is available on my computer. Is there a way I can force the installer to use the available driver?

HT201371 More Apple id's with the same Touch ID possible? I have two Apple ID's, one for buying apps since the first iPhone and later, one for iCloud. Now with my new iPhone 5s, after installation Touch ID is connected to the iCloud one.

I have 2 Apple ID"s, one for buying app's (since the first iPhone) in the store and another one for operating with iCloud things. Now, after installation/activation of my new iPhone 5s, the Touch ID is connected to the iCloud world. Conclusion, if I like to buy a new app. I still have to fill in the password for the other Apple ID. In the past I asked Apple to may join both, but that seems to be impossible.
Anyone a solution?

I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

The only way to get 10.5 is to purchase it on CD. Such as http://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Leopard-10-5-10-51/dp/B0012RAVRC where is being sold for $179.99.
If your optical drive is broken, you will either need to replace it or get an external. There is no other way.
Why do wish to upgrade? As you can see it is going to be expensive, probably more the Mac is worth.

HT1926 I received an ITunes and Quicktime update notice on my Windows 7 PC, from Apple this morning. During the update installation, RealPlayer installed. What gives? Why is Realplayer installing with the Apple software.

I received an ITunes and Quicktime update notice on my Windows 7 PC, from Apple this morning. During the update installation, RealPlayer installed. What gives? Why is Realplayer installing with the Apple software.

Thanks for the reply. I went back to check if there was a history in windows (Event Viewer) but could not locate it in Win7. The only updates that were in the Apple Updater window were the Quicktime and ITunes. Had I let the Realplayer continue on its own, it would have installed the Google Chrome and other apps. I let it finish installing and then removed the entire program. I do not remember checking or seeing anything saying that realplayer was being downloaded until after a reboot was requested from the ITunes Update Installer.
I just thought it was strange since I do not use Realplayer and have not downloaded any software for it.
I am on a corporate PC with a pretty thick firewall, but something may have slipped through.
Thanks again for the assistance.
