Can you add ram to a Macbook5,2

Can I add ram to this macbook to be able to make it more compatible and be able to open applications that I can't without upgrading my software?
Is It worth it? How much Ram would I have to add for Lion software? Is that possible?
I am not in the position for a new computer and this one is good, it is just frustrating that some application that friends send to me do not open.
Thanks for you help and support.

The Model 5,2 (Early 2009, 2.0GHz Model Only) can use 6gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM. The model 5,2 (Mid 2009, 2.13GHz Model Only) can use 6gb of 800mhz PC2-6400 RAM
These are good online stores for RAM

Can you add RAM to 2GB MacBook Air after purchase?

I'm thinking of getting a Macbook Air. Money is tight and 2GB RAM is cheaper than 4GB. If you purchase a 2GB MacBook Air, can you later add more RAM?

Depending on what you are planning to use the system for, adding more RAM may not be an issue. The current 11" entry-level MBA is a capable system which would only really begin to bog down if you were intent on running a number of applications at the same time. While 2Gb RAM is really the minimum for running Lion efficiently, the use of an SSD rather than traditional hard drive actually helps keep performance levels up, even when the system has to use virtual memory.
To my mind, for the average user, the 60Gb drive is more of a limiting factor.

Can you add RAM to an iBook G4?

My iBook G4 has 512 MB built-in memory. Is it possible to add to that?

Hello & welcome to Apple Support Discussions!
You may need to check the available free or unused capacity of
the computer's hard disk drive, since that is used by the System
as Virtual Memory and temporary file swaps; not just for storage.
By checking the comparative amounts of used verse free space
in the computer's hard disk drive, you should be able to tell if
the capacity of the hard drive is getting too full for continued &
safe use. Since the computer reads and writes to Virtual Memory
(hard drive capacity used as VM, to supplement chip RAM) as
the hard drive gets fuller, it will begin to corrupt System files. The
computer will try to over-write system & other files, and ruin itself.
So, the hard disk drive is getting too full, and you need to remove
image and music files from the hard disk drive (HDD) and archive
them; you can use an external hard drive and move iTunes & also
iPhoto libraries, then delete the internal libraries. Read up on it.
Ideally, if the computer is over 4 years old, it probably is time to
get a replacement hard disk drive; maybe sooner if its used alot.
If the drive is upgraded, get a larger capacity one; and if it has
a 4,500 RPM spin-rate, see if there is a replacement with 5400.
And upgrade the RAM chip, in the location beneath the keyboard.
Be sure to get the correct one for whichever iBook G4 you have.
The last model 'mid-2005' uses a 200-pin SO-DIMM PC2700/333.
Note the other specs that have to be met or exceeded for the RAM.
You can find computer specs for many Mac models at everymac.com
and also check out the download database at mactracker.ca online.
Also, there is a matter of routine and preventative maintenance.
This includes simple things such as booting the computer up in
SafeBoot (shift key held until you see Login, let go of the key &
login) then run Disk Utility's 'repair disk permissions' on the Mac HD
volume as it appears in the Utility. When it is done, restart normally.
You can also check, verify, and repair the hard disk drive; the Installer
DVD for the OS has a Disk Utility in the menu options, when that disc
is used as a boot volume. However, damage can be done via this disc.
• OS X Maintenance And Troubleshooting:
http://www.macattorney.com/ts.html
• The X Lab: The X-FAQs:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/faqs.html
So, that about covers it; there are other things to try & do to make an
older Mac with a tired and/or full hard disk drive to work a little better.
Some ideas appear as results from a search online.
Every few months or so, I run a handy utility that helps do some
behind the scenes maintenance routines that can help keep a
Mac on its toes. If used incorrectly without some reading, it may
do more or less than expected. The one I prefer is called OnyX
and is a free-running donation-ware from Titanium Software:
• Titanium's Software - OnyX (choose version for your Mac's OS)
http://www.titanium.free.fr/index.php
Anyway, there are several things to try & do to keep a Mac healthy.
Simple things such as 'repair disk permissions' and be sure the
hard disk drive isn't too full for the OS and Apps to work. Mine have
near 40% to 70% free-space (iMac G4: 24GB used on a 74GB HDD.)
And give it all the RAM it can use. That's not really hard w/ an iBook.
{If you have any new questions, you can start a new topic thread of
your own, so people will see it quick; not at the end of an old one.}
Good luck & happy computing!

The Macbook Pro without retina, can you add ram your self to it?

Will Ram be user replaceable for the macbook pro without retina?

The apple customer support told me that it is only possible to change the ram, but it is not possible to change the harddrive anymore, otherwise you will loose your warranty.
I first thougt it was a bad joke, but it isn´t guys. If you want another harddrive they do it for you for 150 bucks/hour…

Can you add memory to an iPad after purchase?

Can you add memory to iMac 6.1?

Can you add memory to an iMac 6.1 (currently has 1 GB) and an MacBook Air (currently has 2GB) - 11 inch late 2010?

Yes,
Your year and model iMac can take 4 GBs max., but that model will only recognize only about 3.2-3.4 GBs of the total 4 GBs.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).

How can you add a where clause using "OR" with applied ViewCriteria?

[JDeveloper 10.1.3 SU4]
[JHeadstart 10.1.3 build 78]
I am using JHeadstart, but have a question probably more in the ADF area. On the JHeadstart forum I asked:
"I am overriding JhsApplicationModule's advancedSearch in order to be able to search in childtables. I created transient attributes, display those in advanced search and in the overridden method I check if any of these are filled by the user and create a where clause like 'EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <childtable> WHERE <column in childtable> = <column in EO's table> AND <another column in childtable> LIKE '<value supplied by user>)'. I add this whereclause using ViewObject.setWhereClause.
So far so good and it works. However, if the user selects 'Result matches any criteria', combining setWhereClause and the normal advancedSearch QueryByExample implementation using ViewCriteriaRow do not provide the desired result, since the ViewCriteria and the setWhereClause are AND-ed together, which is fine if the user selects the (default) "Results match all criteria" (everything is AND-ed) but not the "Result matches any criteria", since then every criterium is OR-ed together, except for the setwhereclause criteria and the set of ViewCriteriaRows, they are AND-ed.
I looked if I could specify that a WhereClause will be OR-ed to existing applied ViewCriteria, but no luck. Do I have to rewrite also advancedSearch's ViewCriteria implementation and write an entire setWhereClause implementation to be able to "OR" every criterium? Or any other suggestions? Can I look at the entire Where clause and rewrite it (after applyCriteria and setWhereClause are called on the VO)?
Toine"
Sandra Muller (JHeadstart Team) told me today: "This sounds like a JDeveloper/ADF issue that is not related to JHeadstart. The question is: how can you add a where clause using "OR" if there are already one or more ViewCriteria applied?
To simplify the test case, you could create a simple ADF BC test client class in a test Model project without JHeadstart (in the test class, use bc4jclient + Ctrl-Enter), in which you first apply a few ViewCriteriaRows to a View Object and also add a where clause.
Can you please log a TAR at MetaLink ( http://metalink.oracle.com/ ), or ask this question at the JDeveloper forum at http://otn.oracle.com/discussionforums/jdev.html ? (This what I am doing now ;-))
Thanks,

Anyone knowing the answer or am I asking for an enhancement?

Hi,
Can you SET your whereclause as follows ?
('Y' = <isAnd>
and EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <childtable> WHERE <column in childtable> = <column in EO's table> AND <another column in childtable> LIKE '<value supplied by user>))
OR ('N' = <isAnd>
AND EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <childtable> WHERE <column in childtable> = <column in EO's table> OR <another column in childtable> LIKE '<value supplied by user>))
)

How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?

How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

You don't.
It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

Can you add page numbers to the PDF version?

Can you add page numbers to the PDF version?

Hello saradianapasik,
If you start with a document created with Acrobat Pro, or exported from your word processor as a .pdf, then you should include page numbers in that originating application. After you have exported a .pdf form from FormsCentral, it is no longer editable.
I hope that helps,

Can you add apps to iPad open in list

Can you add apps to the open in list of an iPad

As far as I know, you cannot add apps to the Open In list using any setting or built in feature in iOS. This is controlled by the iOS itself. IIRC, you can delete apps from the iPad that appear in the Open In list in order to make room for apps that you would like to appear in there, and if you continue to use the apps that you want to add to that list, eventually they will appear in the list. I believe that the more that you use one particular app, the more likely it will be for it to appear in the Open In list.

Can you add vids from a camra to Ipad

Can you add vids from camra to ipad 2 (to make vids on imovie)

surely. You need to sync the files to your camera-roll in iOS, use itunes/iphoto. IMovie in iOS can access all videos that are in the camera-roll ( photos.app ) .
The Apple iPad camera connection kit will also be a big help : With it you can insert a digital cameras SD-Card into the iPad and mass-import the footage . Using this you avoid the iTunes/PC/OSX procedure to load material into the ipad.
