Can I use RAM from my PC laptop in a Mac?

I am getting rid of one of my PC laptops that currently has 16gb of RAM in it. DDR3, 1600. Is it possible to
have that RAM installed in my late 2012 iMac? I have heard that some Macs use compatible RAM.
If not in the iMac, could it be installed in our 2012 Macbook 13"?

Unless the specifications of the RAM are identical to what the Mac asks for the answer is NO! Purchase RAM only from Crucial (directly from their on-line store) or OWC at www.macsales.com.

Can I use RAM from MBP 15 late 2011 to MBP 13 mid 2012

Hi All,
I presently have an MBP 15 late 2011 (running at 4GB RAM) - which I feel is very slow. Had been reading a lot of discussion threads and most viable solution seems to be to upgrade my RAM - found it in Crucial.com (8gb x 2 kit).
I have another MBP 13 mid 2012 (running at 2GB RAM). I was wondering if I can transfer my 4GB RAM from my MBP 15 to my MBP 13.
Will there be any compatibility issues? Will this work?
Can anyone advise please?
Thanks.

Can I use RAM from "old" MIni in an Intel Mini?

Subject line pretty much says it all. I have two 1GB card from two "old" Minis that I'd like to install into each of the two slots of an Intel Mini that has 512 MB.
Are they compatible?
Thanks,
GeeKay

Thanks, GeeKay; sorry it wasn't better news. If you ever need a good reference for which RAM works with which Macs, this is a good place:

How can I use software from mac os 8.6

I have old mac 4400/160 with os 8.6. Can I use program files from that os on os x and how?

Hi, Boopsy. Welcome to the Discussions.
By "program files" I presume you mean "applications." If you mean data files, that's a different question.
It really depends on the applications (apps).
First, they will only run in Classic mode, if they run at all. Classic mode is a "hardware compatibility layer." Basically, this allows you to run Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X simultaneously, meaning you can use Mac OS 9 apps and Mac OS X apps simultaneously. Both Mac OS X and Mac OS 9.2.2 must be installed on the computer in question.
Some Mac OS 8.x apps have been known to run in Classic, but it's really suited to Mac OS 9 apps.
Second, any apps that require direct access to the hardware — a common issue with games developed in Mac OS 9 and earlier — won't run in Classic mode.
Finally, if you buy a new Intel-based Mac, Classic is not even an option: Classic mode is not available on Intel-based Macs, signaling the true death of Mac OS 9. So, if you're planning on getting a new, Intel-based Mac, none of the OS 8.6 apps you have can be used on such. You would need a Mac that employs PowerPC architecture, which are the last Macs that can run Classic.
If you had a PowerPC-based Mac with Mac OS X and Mac OS 9.2.2 installed, you could then try installing your old apps using the original installation disks using the instructions in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Installing applications made for Mac OS 9." You'd probably also need an external USB floppy drive, assuming the apps are distributed on the usual 3.5" floppy disks.
However, given the items noted above, there's no guarantee they would either install or work.
Good luck!

Can we use Result from another query in Webi using Bex uery universe?

Hi,
Can we use Result from another query filter option in Webi to create a report using a Bex Query universe?
I need to create a report using two universes, one is Bex Query Universe and the other is Orcle universe. I have two queries, one is using Oracle universe; the other using Bex Query universe. I need to pass the Oracle data from the Oracle query to the Bex Query query to get the matched data from SAP Bex query.
I used Result from another query in the query filter panel for the query using Bex query universe. But I got an error saying that 'A filter contains a wrong value. you cannot run this query. (Error: WIS 00007). The data used in the filter on both sides are the same. they are char.
I have tested by using two queries from the same Bex query universe to see if the Result from another query filter option works. And I got the same error.
Has anyone run into the same issue and if this is possible and what should be the solution?
Thanks in advance!

In that situation:
Create two queries : Oracle and BW query.
@ Report:
As you have to see result set from both the Dataproviders, correct? To achieve thise one must have common dimension objects to merge them at report and use Objects those are coming from both queries to use them in single Table/Report.
Unless you don't use Merge Dimensions, you don't get a chane to use both queries objects in single Table/Report. (It will give tooltip saying: You can't drop here -- Incompatable Objects)
In case, if you don't have common dimensions, change object definitions to Detail objects, for those required.
Hope it helps you.
Thank You!!

Can I swap ram from a Powermac G4 400 PCI into a Powermac G4 Quicksilver?

Hi,
I have a Powermac G4 400mhz PCI, but I'm looking at getting a Powermac G4 Quicksilver 933. I wondered if I can swap some ram from my Powermac G4 PCI into a Quicksilver.
I have gone to the Crucial website and it says the Powermac G4 PCI and the Powermac G4 Quicksilver both take SDRAM, PC133.
But in my Haynes Mac manual it says the Powermac G4 requires SDRAM, PC100.
Who is correct? I would rather swap of course to save money.
Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the replys.
I have gone into about this Mac, more info and this is the info I get about the memory:
DIMM3/J22:
Size: 256 MB
Type: Unknown
Speed: Unknown
Status: OK
I have recently upgraded to 10.4.8.
I'm sure under 10.4.5 a lot of the info for my ram was not 'unknown'.
Are there any utilities out there that will give me more ram info?
On the Crucial website they have one but it is for PC's only. I'm sure one of the 256 ram sticks are PC133 SDRAM as I bought a ram stick from Crucial about a year ago.
Thanks again.

How can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

how can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

If you mean iTunes Store accounts, there's really nothing for you to do. Just add the tracks to the iTunes library and play them. Music purchased prior to late-2009 will been to be authorized, though. Pull down Store > Authorize... and type the credentials of the Apple ID used to buy the tracks.
If you mean something else, please describe in more detail.

Hey jayanta_das,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you have an HP Deskjet 1050, from your description it sounds like you would like to scan or copy to the computer and then print so you can make modifications to the original rather than performing a copy directly from the printer. Is this correct? If I have misunderstood, please re-explain the task you are trying to perform and how I can help.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,

Can i use applications from an external hard drive?

Can i use applications from an external hard drive?

Photoshop itself needs to reside inside of it's Applications folder so that it has access to it's Libraries and plugins. So if you are going to attempt to store and run it from an external drive you need to copy the whole Application folder or install it directly to the external drive. Even still I am not 100% positive it will work as I know it still needs to access your Library/Application Support for additional files and licensing.
Why do you want to run Photoshop from an external drive?
