Can I swap out old RAM with new before install of new HD?

I am replacing a friend's HD for her MacBook Pro 5,2 and also swapping out the old memory (2-2GBs) for new memory (2-4 GBs). My question is: does it matter whether I install the new memory before I install the HD or after? If after, does it matter whether or not the HD has been formatted? Has an OS installed on it? Any help here would be very much appreciated!

Your snow leopard dvd will format the HD properly to install the OS. Just replace the HD put in the snow leopard disc and let it do its thing

  • I can no more read old iWork files since I installed the new iWork

    I installed the new iWork for iCloud and deleted the old iWork folder.
    Since that I discovered that files older than iWork 9 cannot be open.
    And I need all these files from time to time because I did not upgraded all files from 08 to 09.
    I tried to re-installed iWork 08. No problem. It runs.
    I tried to re-installed iWork 09. It do not run.
    I also tried to de-installed the new iWork for iCould, but still, iWork 09 can no more be installed.

  • Can I swap out defected iPhone with different color one

    In november my friend purchased me a black iphone 5.  It was awesome with No problems.  Recently however, I have been experiencing a very short battery life.  After a day of light usage sometimes my battery will dip below 5 percent.  Now, I already tried disableing bluetooth, turning off data and wifi when not being used, and even turned down the brightness to half way.  Because the iphone is certainly defected, when I exchange the iphone is there a possibility to swap it out with one of a different color, as the black one devolops scratches along the champhered edge like crazy, also ios 7 looks wayyyyyy better with the white iphone, it just blends into the device itself.  Anyways, thanks for any responses

    No. Apple will replace your iPhone only with an indentical model. If you want your iPhone to be a different color, consider a skin; those are available in a multitude of colors and patterns.
    And just FYI, there are many causes of short battery life other than a hardware defect. Apps such as the Facebook app can use a lot of battery. While you may indeed have a failing battery, you may want to try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and running with just the Apple apps for a while and then evaluate your battery life before concluding that there's a hardware problem.
    Regards.

  • Things I need to know when swapping out old router with Airport Extreme?

    Hi, having been given some good advice in other areas of this forum, I've decided to swap my current D-Link router with an Aiport Extreme. I recently added an Airport Express and Time Capsule to my current wireless network (as 'join current network wirelessly') hoping to avoid the changing or my current router. However it appears to get the best and most flexible performance I need to go that further step. I've not done this before, having had the network setup by the ISP. What do I need to know, be aware of prior to unplugging my current router? Like:
    Should the airport extreme just 'work' once I plug it in? Other than the normal set up process. Or:
    Will the cable modem (Motorola SBV5121) require reconfiguration or some form of sync with the router?
    Will I need my password and ID from the ISP for the new router? I currently only have the the current router password - no idea what the ISP ID and password is, they were set by the guy installing - yes I know I should have written them down somewhere.
    Any traps or challenges I need to be aware of that is not covered in the printed material?
    I have heard ISP's will generally not assist with this as it is not viable for them to try and help, understandable. So I just wanted to be as prepared as possible.
    Any thoughts or experiences or pointers to documentation would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards
    Richard

    Apologies this should hve been posted in the Airport Extreme forum - it's been moved.

  • Can I swap out DVD drive with CDR drive?

    I have the DV model and saw a "Slot Load 24 X CD Drive for iMac G3" on eBay. I already have a stand alone CD burner but was thinking about taking out the DVD drive and swapping it with a CDRW. Is this possible for the spring 2001 DV and how hard is it? Thanks

  • Anyone can point me out on some proper steps to connect my new iPhone5c to my old MacBook running an updated 10.6 OS?

    Hello,
    Anyone can point me out on some proper steps to connect my new iPhone5c to my old MacBook running an updated 10.6 OS? Cannot make the iPhone to connect to he MacBook (Bluetooth) even the latter has already paired the new device and it seems ready to use.
    The iPhone only want to forget the device (my MacBook) while it cannot connect to it.
    I also created a WiFi network on my MacBook and joined the iPhone to it - cannot see it anywhere.
    I have connected the iPhone to the Macbook using the provided USB cable but Finder does not show the iPhone, that only presented me with the option to trust or not the Computer the moment I plugged in the USB cable.
    Am I missing something? Am I doing something wrong?
    Thx,
    Iul

    Unless you're trying to Tether, your phone won't pair with your Mac...file transfer, by Bluetooth, is not supported.
    Your phone won't appear in Finder, as Disk mode is not supported on any iPhone.

  • I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one?  Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

    You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

  • I did an icloud backup on my old 4S with iOS 8.3 and wanted to install on my new iPhone 6 but it only has iOS 8.1.3! Can I do/use the backup after I chose "install as new iPhone"?

    I did an icloud backup on my old 4S with iOS 8.3 and wanted to install on my new iPhone 6 but it only has iOS 8.1.3! Can I do/use the backup after I chose "install as new iPhone"?
    Because I cannot update the software until I chose if I want to begin with a new phone setting or download a backup.
    But the backup is of course not compatible with the old iOS.
    So will it be possible to get the new iPhone going, then do the software update to 8.3 and then download / use the data from
    my 4S icloud backup?

    1. Settings > General > Software Update > Update the  to 8.3
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    3. Reactivate phone and follow prompts to restore iCloud (or iTunes) backup.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
