Can my Aluminum Powerbook G4 hold 2 x 1gb RAM??????

I have a powerbook g4 17" with 1.5ghz power PC that has 512mb of RAM currently. I just ordered 2 x 1gb RAM chips for a total of 2gb of memory. I just read something online that says that the powerbook g4's can only hold 1.25gb of memory. Is this true?? Will my notebook not work if i install the 2 x 1gb memory chips???
Please help thanks

Hi kjhman;
Why are you posting your question about a powerbook g4 in the PowerMac G5 forum?

    Concerning: VGA monitors using an Aluminum Powerbook G4 PowerPC 2004 15"-screen 1.5Ghz
    The DVI (converted to VGA) video output stopped working on this computer after 9 years of service. This raises question 1:
    Is there any way of fixing this? I've tried the usual: triple checked all vga cables & devices through trial & error. Bought a new DVI-VGA adapter. Reset PRAM, PMU, etc. Nothing works. Something is probably damaged, because my KVM switch was not working unless I hot-reseated the vga cable into it, leading to this DVI port, and that is pretty rough stuff.
    Question 2 (related):
    This dovetails into this: Can I drive a VGA monitor with the s-video output port on this computer. It would take an s-video (male)-to-15-pin-VGA adapter. Has anyone does this? So far, I haven't even found the adapter mentioned anywhere.
    Thanks for reading this.

    Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
    If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
    -USB-to-VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
    -Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
    The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

  • How much RAM can upgrade my Powerbook G4 with and where can I buy it?

    I would like to increase the speed/processing power of my Powerbook G4. Any advice on the following appreciated:
    1) What is the max RAM I can put into it? There seem to be problems logged on this discussion forum at 2GB by some users?
    2) Where can I buy compatible RAM - it is no longer available on the Apple store (neither UK where I live nor US)?
    3) are there any other upgrades I can make to speed up my Powerbook?
    My current Powerbook details are:
    Machine Name: PowerBook G4 15"
    Machine Model: PowerBook5,2
    CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 1.25 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 768 MB - DDR SDRAM
    Bus Speed: 167 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.7.1f1
    Graphics - ATI Mobility Radeon 9600
    Many thanks

    Hi, Mark. Your Powerbook can use up to 2GB of RAM, and there is no increased risk of trouble when using the maximum as long as the RAM used is suitable. Suitable RAM can be ordered from scores of online vendors. I don't know what the best sources in the UK might be, but I suggest that you look for Samsung, Crucial, or Hynix branded RAM from a vendor whose web site explicitly advertises it as compatible with Aluminum Powerbook G4s.

  • HT3702 how can i remove the authorization hold from my card...

    how can i remove the authorization hold from my card

    You can try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store
    How much was the amount ? A 'normal' holding charge is a small amount (e.g. equivalent to about $1), and usually happens after you add or change credit card details on your account. Here in the UK it can take a few working days for it to disappear (so a weekend can extend the elapsed time).
    Edit : I don't know what a non-liability certificate is and/or whether Apple can do one.

  • HT201263 When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds.  While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained.  Whats wrong

    When my Ipod touch is in autolock I can only restart the device holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10 seconds.  While in auto-lock it is using battery power and will do so until the battery is drained.  Whats wrong?

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Connect the iPod to your computer and try to restore via iTunes. Try placing in Recovery mode if necessary to restore.
    - If you can't turn the iPod completely off, let the batter fully drain. After charging for at lerast anhour try again
    - If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • After upgrading the new operating system, it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select

    After upgrading the new operating system on my Droid Razr M it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select multiple message you have to delete them individually or the entire thread. Is there a way to get these back?

    Well, that's kind of embarrassing. And I honestly thought I paid attention to that... It works perfectly now, thank you so much!
    As expected, cdm-git also works fine since DMs only work in the root mode as of now.
    Just for the record, both type commands output "/usr/bin/startx" and pacman -Q gives "systemd 215-4".

    Is there any way I can add extra storage to hold my Newsstand magazines?

    Thanks for that.  It is what I expected.
    There are lots of WIFI and flash drives that you can plug in but, as far as I can see,  they are only useful for holding stuff pre-loaded from a PC/MAC, and can only be used via a special app.
    Let bus look forward to the day that Apple give us a memory extension socket.

    I can't put call on hold to answer incomming call, always hangs up on first call

    The procedure is different, depending on whether your carrier uses CDMA or GSM. Consult the manual. gdgmacguy gives directions on how to find it in the post above.
    Best of luck.

    Once my iphone4s updats to ios 6.1.2，the electric quantity runs so fast！And the mainboard is so hot， when I use it,especially，make calls. If I make calls exceed two minutes, it gets so hot, that I can't be able to hold. If the battery is full at night, it falls down almost a half, when I get up. I don't know what is wrong with my phone, need help.

    Thanks for the input.

  • How do I know if titanium or aluminum powerbook?

    I have a powerbook g4 1.67 with PC2-4200-DDR SDRAM. Is this a titanium or an aluminum powerbook.. I need to purchase another battery cause my original died on me.
    Thanks
    RD

    Just for reference, the other easy way to tell is that Titanium has ports on the back, the Aluminum puts all the ports on the sides.

  • Where can I buy Powerbook G4 Titanium?

    I have been searching around Apple Website, but could not find any information regarding powerbook G4 Titanium. Maybe someone can suggest where I can buy the Powerbook Titanium?

    The thing to keep in mind whenever buying from eBay, Craigslist, or any other private party classifieds is "buyer beware." I find that there are a lot of people who advertise on Craigslist who try to jack up the "value" of their Macs by offering pre-installed software or a lot of music in their iTunes library. Neither really adds much in the way of any real value and should not even be part of any negotiations as to final selling price. Another thing I find with the folks on Craigslist is that they either don't really know the actual specs of the computers they are selling or they offer misleading info in the hopes that a potential buyer won't know the specs. As with any purchase, first do your research (lowendmac.com and everymac.com offer lots of good info on specs, features, and approximate street value) then meet with the seller in person so you can check out the condition of the computer first hand. If he/she won't or can't meet you, find another seller. The more you know going into a deal, the better off you'll be. I suppose this is just common sense advice, but it's surprising how many people don't take the time to educate themselves.

  • Approximately how many full length movies can a 30g ipod video hold?

    Approximately how many full length movies can a 30g ipod video hold?

    Most of the movies I have are around 450 mb. So for a 30 gig iPod you should get around 60 movies. I use Handbrake to rip movies for the iPod on my mac and Cucusoft to rip them on my XP machine. The size is user selectable and averages around 400 to 500 mb.

  • [SOLVED]can't "rewind" command with holding arrows on keyboard.

    I hope to make myself as clear as I can: when I hold arrows on keyboards (in game for example) I can only move 1 square, when it should go until I release arrow.
    Same in console, I can't "rewind" command when holding arrow, I have to keep pushing it until it gets where I want it.

    you mean terminal history browsing? Well this isn't a solution to your problem, but you could always use bang commands or command history search, which has eliminated my use of the arrow keys.
    For your particular problem, what terminal emulator are you using? And what's the config?
