Can I replace my original 4gb memory?

I am upgrading the memory on my IMac 3.2 GHZ Intel Core I3. I am instrallingan additional 8gb . My computer will have 12GB. My question is if I can removed the original 4gb and replace it with 8GB, thus giving a total of 16gb.
Thank you

If your iMac allows that much memory, yes, sure. But they should be a matched pair, 8+8.

  • Can I replace my original Apple ID with a different one?

    I just retired from teaching. My original Apple ID is my school email address. Now that I'm retired I'd like to use my personal email account as my ID. If I replace the original ID with the new one, will  I have access to everything that was associated with my original ID?  Thank you in advance for the help.

    Change AppleID - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/  then > Manage Your Account
    To continue to change it for iTunes:
    Select the iTunes store in iTunes.
    Click the account name at top right, sign out then sign back in.

    Yes, changing an ID will still give you access to previous purchases, making a new account with new ID will not.

  • Can i use more than 4GB memory in my laptop dv6700t if I install windows 7 64bit?

    The pavilion dv6700t autodetects as 6853ea. It runs 32bit Vista in 3 GB mem.
    I know I can go up to 4 GB using the 2 slots, but can I use more when I install the 64bit version of Windows 7? If so, should I install the memory first, or the OS?
    Thanks.

    Hi:
    The specs for your notebook state max memory is 4 GB.
    However you should be able to install 8 GB with a 64 bit OS, because you have the Mobile Intel 965 chipset.
    I would install the 64 bit OS first, so you see the memory go over 4 GB in Windows after you install the memory.
    See this post:

  • How can I replace the original HP software (not OS) on laptop modified from Vista 32 to Win7 Pro 32?

    Product:  HP G60-235DX laptop purchased several years ago with Vista.
    I finally went from Vista 32 to Windows 7 Pro 32 bit using the custom install function on a disk for use in refurbishing a computer.  All went well except now when I go to the HP website for driver updates, etc. it recognizes my laptop with the Win7 OS but nothing ever comes up on the list.  How can I get this to work? 
    Also, I would like to be able to get the HP Support software back onto this laptop so I can allow the program to run and automatically update drivers, etc.
    Where can I get a copy of the Lightscribe software for the DVD/CD RW?
    The original Vista recovery partition appears to exist but not sure what I can recover off of that without messing up my Windows 7 installation.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    When I open your link on my Android tablet I can see everything. I'll try this link in the morning on my laptop. When I went to this area earlier today it insisted on looking for my computer and wouldn't list anything. Maybe your link allows me to avoid that issue. Thanks. I'll post results.

  • I have a HP Pavilion dv4 2145dx laptop. Can I replace its original battery for a 12 cells battery?

    The current battery is not working propertly. It is supposed to be a 6 cells battery, but I have heard that a 12 cells battery last much longer. Would you recommend doing that change? what battery should I buy that for sure will fit my laptop? Thanks

    Seems to me that your hard drive is gonna fail soon, trying running hard drive diagnostics from the BIOS.

  • Oracle 9,2.0 32 bit for Solaris can not access more than 4GB?

    I am sorry to ask rather stupid question.
    I joined company which has big SUN Fire running Solaris 9 64bit version.
    It has system memory 16GB and 8 CPUs.
    I found 8GB memory reported as free. It is production box. It is heavy loaded.
    I guess Kernel parameter settings for Oracle set too low.
    I reported DBA and asked DBA to improve.
    My DBA said Oracle 32 bit version was installed and Oracle 32bit can't access more than 4GB system memory.
    Is it true that Oracle 9.2.0 32bit for Solaris can not access more than 4GB memory?
    32bit CPU and 32bit OS might have problem in access big memory.
    But I never heard Oracle 9 running on 64bit Solaris box can not access more than 4GB.
    Specially on Sparc 64bit chip and Solaris 9 64bit version.
    I searched forums and could not find good answer. I believe it is rather obvious.
    Please help me on this. I will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I was really surprised by the fact that almighty
    ORACLE can not access 4GB memory.
    So, it is true that 32bit Oracle is limited by 4GB RAM.Nope. 32bit almighty anything is limited to (max) 2^32 virtual adresses on a vmm system.
    Often there is also some split where memory is divided into system and user areas, where user (program) has e.g. 2 or 3GB. All this works regardless of amount of RAM available 0.5 or 512GB.
    Perhaps this link provides some useful info/background.

  • E1-510-2602 laptop with max memory 8GB Can I replace 4gb in slot with 8 gb

    I want to increase my 4 gb to 8 gb and bought 4gb memory but when I opened the back there is only one slot with 4gb. Can I replace that with 8gb of memory

    Would probably start by checking out the RAM, most likely it's RAM that could be imcompatible (DDR3 vs DDR3L or different voltage, etc...) or possibly just a bad stick of RAM.

    Can you tell me why you don't think its a good buy? Someone bought it that must have thought it was a good buy? You?!!!
    I had a macbook pro, spilled an entire latte on it. Cannot afford to drop another 1500 on a new one. I understand the air is a great machine. And for someone that is hard on equipment (aside from liquid!) with no moving parts its a better option. This one is priced at $929 - good?

  • I'm getting my "new iPad" on Friday.  I'm replacing my original iPad (iPad 1).  Since I will not be going to the Apple store to get my iPad, can someone walk me thru what I should do to set up my new iPad on Friday?  I want to transfer my iPad 1 apps etc.

    I'm getting my "new" iPad on Friday.  I'm replacing my "original" iPad (1).  Since I preordered and will be receiving my iPad directly I will not be picking it up from the Apple store, so no set up from them.  Can someone walk me thru what I must to do get my new iPad up and running.  I want to transfer my info, apps, etc. to my new iPad but I also want to pass on my old one to a family member who uses the same computer.  How shall I proceed?  Thanks!

    If you want everything that's on your current iPad onto the new one, then you can first copy all purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You can then backup your current iPad and restore the new iPad from that backup (a list of what is included in a backup is in this article - it excludes music, videos, synced photos). As the backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their settings and content, for the restore to work completely you'll need all the relevant apps in your computer's iTunes library - otherwise the restore won't be able to install the apps and therefore their content (which is one reason to do File > Transfer Purchases, if that doesn't copy them over then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).
    The restore won't copy passwords onto a different device, so you will need to re-enter your email, router, and any website passwords onto the new iPad.
    Depending on what you want to remain on the iPad, you can then either leave it as it is or log out of your account on it (tap on it in Settings > Store) and then wipe it via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings.

  • I I have a late 2005 power PC G5 that I want to bring back to life.  I need to replace the original hard drive, a Maxtor 250 GB Sata.  Can I replace it with modern drives, SATA 5-6 etc?

    I have a late 2005 power PC G5 that I want to bring back to life.  I need to replace the original hard drive, a Maxtor 250 GB Sata.  Can I replace it with modern drives, SATA 5-6 etc?

    I knew I should never get rid of my old G5's.  By the way, there is a browser still supported for the PPC, TenFourFox, if you're not using it already.  Go to the Floodgap website (they author it)  download it for free.  The only thing it doesn't support is the Flash plugin, but the browser works great. Other video types are supported.  It's based on Firefox, and runs most of the plugins and add-ons. It's very fast, and beats all other browsers on the browser compatibility and speed test.  That's now my default on my G5's.  Firefox and Safari are no longer supported.  As far as the OS, both Tiger and Leopard were solid for me.  The reason, as I stated before, was iMovie.  The version in Tiger with iLife was far superior to what Apple changed it to.  They 'dumbed it down' for the masses.  Even the newest iLife 11 on my Mac Pro quad isn't is good, in my opinion.  So Leopard should be fine for you.  It's a much larger browser in terms of sheer megabytes and disk space, but it's fine.  As far as getting an OS disc, I'm seeing Tiger for about $45.00, Leopard for $50 - 60.00 on that famous auction site.  As far as RAM, I have 8GB in my G5 2.3, but you should check Activity Monitor when you are running your apps.  See how much green slice you have left (unused RAM).  You might find you don't need eight.  A Mac Pro will grab more free RAM than a PPC machine will.  I have a hard time maxing out use of my 8 on the PPC.  Not true with the eight on my Mac Pro.  The OS doesn't hesitate to grab and use it.  You might be OK with 6GB on your PPC. More will not make you faster, as long as you still have free RAM available.  As far as backup on your resurrected machine:  look for a firewire enabled backup if can.  Use CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) and make a clone backup.  Next time your PPC machine wipes out the hard drive, just take your Firewire drive and plug it into another PPC machine, and you can select it as your boot drive. You'll be back and running in five minutes.  You can also take the physical drive out of your enclosure, and put it in your tower to replace the failed drive, and you'll be back to where you were in less than ten minutes, OS and all.  The PowerMac has an 800 port, so you can do the 800 on the machine to an 800 port on your backup. A firewire 800 to 800 cable is only about $8.00.  It runs nice and fast through the 800 port.  I like the OWC Mercury Extreme enclosures.  They use USB, Firewire 800, and eSATA, so all your options are open.

  • I have a mid 2010 macbook pro with 4GB memory and need to purchase an additional 4 GB.  Do I need to purchase 8GB of memory to upgrade or can a 4GB upgrade be placed next to the existing memory?

  • Mid-2009 MBP, 2.8Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce 9600 512 MB can't run Windows 8?

    I  have a 17"  mid-2009 MacBook Pro with a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M
    GT 512MB.  Recently upgraded to OS X MAvericks 10.9.4.  I wish to run 3DS MAx Design using Boot CAmp. 
    The Boot Camp Assistant, downloading the Windows installers says my system can only run Windows 7.  [The newly-opened Windows 8.1 disc is right here.]  Can this be right?  Might you please identify the weak point?  Should I upgrade?  Is the memory the reason?  Is the assistant wrong?  What should I do.
    Using 3ds max, would it be wise to upgrade the memory in any case.  When the correct Windows softyware is determined and installed,  how large should I set the partition.  Thank you for helping me.

    Thanks, Kappy.  Please, I'd read those system requirements before; I still don't understand where my system falls short.  Both 7 and 8 stipulate a 1GHz processor.  Graphics card I don't know the difference.  So it's memory- I have insufficient accesible memory?  If my purpose is to manipulate highly featured images, should I upgrade memory in any case.  Does it make much difference whether it's 7 or 8?  Some places I know my footing.  Here, not.  Step by step.  Thanks!

    I wrote an 2500 words assignment and saved in Microsoft word 97-2003 and by mistake replaced with another word file.How can i retain my original work? 

    Hi,
    Does this happen to all 97-2003 Word files?
    Word 2013 now has lots of updates compared with earlier version of Word, lots of features have been updated. Use Word 2013 to open documents created in earlier versions of Word (Word 97-2003 format), you will probably encounter unexpected problems,
    expecially for those heavily formatted files.
    We would suggest you to convert your document to the Word 2013 file format, then you will be able to access the new and enhanced features in Word 2013.
