Can someone explain to me why Apple says you can only have 4GB max in the Unibody MacBook (white)?
I'm looking to upgrade the RAM on my Intel 2.4 Core 2 Duo unibody MacBook, which currently has 4GB pre-installed Apple RAM. In searching for an answer to whether this machine is expandable to more than 4gbs of RAM this is one answer I came across that I believe is credible:
"Apple lists what they think should be the maximum amount of RAM. However it is not correct. Your Mac can accept 8GB of RAM. Take a look at OWC (just click on OWC) that will take you to the site that sells RAM specifically for Macs. Your Unibody MacBook can accept up to 8GB of RAM 2X4GB. Take my MacBook Pro for instants, Apple claims the maximum amount of memory is 8GB. But in reality it can take up to 16GB. It has more to do with the Processor, rather than the logic board itself. You can take up to 8GB." (Credit: 'coander15')
Like I said, I don't doubt the credibility of the answer, I just am looking for someone to give me the "Apple explanation" as to why they cap the White Unibody MB @ 4GB of memory. It seems to be a common consensus that this model machine IS expandable up to 8GBs when looking through discussion forums. I've taken into account the marketing aspect of this from AAPL's perspective, but if someone could lay it out in any amount of detail logistically, I'd greatly appreciate it. Bottom line, I'm trying to assess the risk in upping my machine's memory.
Thanks!
When the 1066Mhz RAM first came out 4gb sticks cost $600 each and 8gb sticks were $1600 each. Apple didn't bother testing them since no one was going to pay more for 2 RAM sticks than they paid for the MacBook. Prices later came down but Apple was already on to the next model and didn't bother going back to test on the older models. They left that up to third party sellers.

A few days ago I bought a season of the series Psych off of iTunes. I was able to watch the first bunch without a problem but now all of a sudden when I try to watch one it says "You do not have permission to access the requested resource". I tried restarting my phone but that do not help. I cleared up a lot of space on my phone as well. I have and iPhone 4 with the update of iOS 6.1.3.
Are you using the same Apple ID that the purchase was linked to? I had this issue with a shared device, and the other person had logged out of my ID and logged in with hers.
If it's the same ID, then try redownloading the purchase. -

hi, I have a macbook pro with a new hard drive installed and restored. My WD external drive backup on time machine now wont let me access the files. I get a prompt saying 'you do not have permission to access the files' After my new drive was installed I plugged in time machine and it started backing up. I paused it when I realised that it was running for more than a few minutes. I now realise that it probably started backing up the new hard drive all over again. Which makes me think that the original back up must be on the WD back I cant seem to access it. Any ideas would be helpful.
See E-10 in the first link.

Have been trying to cancel and refund my iCloud upgrade am going round in circles apple says you can cancel within 14 days but won't tell you how help!!
You can cancel an iCloud storage upgrade but only within 15 days of buying:
Apple seem to have made this as difficult as possible. You may be able to do this using http://expresslane.apple.com - Click on 'More products and services', then 'iCloud', 'Account and setup' then 'This topic is not listed'. Explain the situation in the box provided and wait for a response - include a phone number. However you may find you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare.
In that event you will need to phone them directly, using the Apple Online Store number given at the bottom of this page. The first person you speak to may tell you to do it from the iCloud website but this is not possible. Politely insist on escalating the issue to a more senior person and eventually you should be able to get through to someone who can deal with this (you may have to wait for them to call you back) - you will be asked security questions and for part of your credit card number to identify yourself.
If it is more than 15 days since you purchased the storage you cannot cancel it for a refund; you can downgrade your plan as from your next renewal date. Please see

Why does't Apple allow you to read your iBooks library over the web from a browser or me account? I have time to read during the day via a browser, but not by Ipad or Iphone. I love the features that iBook offers, but I have had to settle for Google books which is slow to upgrade its features. I just want to be able to highlight, copy and past and make notes and also have the option to read a book in a browser like google books.
Wow.. I'm almost sorry that you spent so much time writing that post.
Unfortunately, it would have much more impact if it were true.
Just because you don't know how to do something... that doesn't mean it can't be done.
I do what you say can't be done every day.
You just need to put your iPod into manual update mode, and everything will be fine. You songs won't be greyed out, and you can play them with no trouble at all.
So, next time you need help with something, just ask for help and we'll help you. It'll certainly make yourself look less foolish this way.

Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Does anyone know where to get a copy of the OS X 10.6.5 update? Apples' site says it can't find the page and the only other downloads i've found on the net say you need to have 10.6.5 to install 10.6.5. HUH?
It's right here from Apple, at least for me.
Combo http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324
Delta http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1325
Any reason you want the 10.6.5? You do know that the latest and final is the 10.6.8. -
Just started getting "The Apple Id you entered couldn't be found or the password was incorrect". Any ideas why? iTunes is running, the Apple Id and password are being entered correctly.
Hi skn728,
If you can verify that your Apple ID and password are correct by logging in at AppleID.apple.com and are certain that all your apps were purchased under that ID, you may want to try manually logging out of your Apple ID on your iPhone, then logging back in. You may find the following article helpful:

When I switch libraries I "lose" the majority of the material in my main library (or at least I can't see it) and can only restore it by repairing the database. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can resolve the problem? Thanks
I seem to have found a way around it. Rather than switching libraries by going into files/switch libraries I used Aperture Preferences to change them. I've done it a couple of times and it appears to work OK.
That is an interesting finding. It suggests, that your "Preferences" file "com.apple.Aperture.plist" may have been corrupted and you fixed it this way. Can you now switch between libraries the usual way? If not, I'd try to remove the "preferences" file from the user library to the Desktop and relaunch Aperture.
