Can you Put any kind of RAM in an Imac?

My friend claims he put 512 mb of ram from his pc into his apple Imac. I don't think that sounds reasonable. Is this possible, and if so would the performance be any good?

Confirm that it meets the specs Apple specifies, easiest way is usually to check
http://www.crucial.com/mac/
Then run Memtest to insure it passes (no matter what you buy or have installed).
RAM can vary from the same vendor and it is possible that "A" works, "B" works, but put both in the same system and they won't.
Another reliable vendor is
www.ramjet.com
Even OWC carries Micron/Crucial as well as Samsung (they may have stopped, I don't see it as often now due to its high price?).
As long as the timing, voltage, SPD and CAS Latency all "match up" - it might! Does that sounds like it is worth a roll of the dice... ?

  • Can you put any MP3 onto your phone?

    I've asked someone with a 4S this, and they so far are having big difficulties.
    On my phone (not an Apple device), I can use an MP3 I made.  It's made using audio editing software, and it starts with the Thunderbirds are go, and then merges into another track.  So it's rather amusing and lightens my day when I get a call and I hear it.
    But I want to know if I could put that track onto an iPhone, and use it as a ring tone.
    A friend has tried with her cable and with iCloud, to no avail.
    With Windows/Android/Blackberry phones, doing this is truly simple.
    How do you do this on the iPhone - if possible at all?

    That is correct. Ringtones cannot be more than 30 seconds.

    What kinds of cpu can you put in a 2007 modal imac to bring it to its max
    Thanks

    While it CAN be done I don't know if you'll see enough bang for your buck to make it worthwhile. IMO you'll get a better return by installing an SSD and maxing out the ram. That said I don't have any idea which cpu you could swap for.

  • Installed iCloud on macbookpro, can't put any documents or anything in storage. Can you help?

    installed iCloud on macbookpro, can’t put any documents or anything in storage. Can you help?

    What version of osx are you running? It must be 10.7. Your profile shows 10.4. If that is correct then you could not have iCloud installed. If you have lion then you have to log into www.icloud.com from your browser, go to iWork's tab within iCloud, drag a supported file type and the doc will upload to iCloud .

  • Can't put any music on external memory card.

    Hello. I've just got this phone and please help me fix this problem.
    I can't put any music on my ext sd card. I tried to do this via copy / paste and via media go. Tried rebooting, formatting still not working. Also build in tool for moving music etc to sd card fails.
    When I try to transfer music on to sd card by media go the end result is no music recognized by Walkman app and two folders are created. "Music" ( with nothing inside) and "albums" with files named by the names of the albums I've transfered.
    I tried deleting .nomedia but after reboot it's there again ( on the sd) in some strangely named folder.
    Also after copying the music to the ext sd LOST.DIR folder is filled with some files ( looks like this is my music)
    I think that's all information I can give you now. Please ask questions if needed.
    Thanks for any kind of help!
    Solved!

  • Ibooks: how many books can you put in it

    Hello,
    I have an ipad 1 and since the latest update for ibooks, ibooks keeps loading my books (the wheel in the right corner keeps rolling).
    I use the ipad also as storage for all my e-books (i have more than 3000 books). I know E-readers are getting slow if you put too many books on it, but I thought it wouldn't be a problem for an ipad, since there is much more memory and gb on then on an e-reader.
    Does anybody knows if there is an limit on the amount of books you can load in ibooks? And if there is a limit, howmay books can you put on the ipad 1 without problems?
    thanks

    Unfortunately we must be the only ones with the problem so no hope for us friend unfortunately..
    In my case, it's an Ipad 2 , 64G no 3G which worked great.. Now, i don't remember when latest iBooks was updated, but today i realised my iBooks kept on refreshing forever and not showing ANY books.. (((((
    I also have many ebooks which is what's common in our cases.. Other than that, I tried everything, turning on off ipad, loading itunes and trying to throw some more books in there just in case, eventually deleting from ipad and installing again from itunes iBooks... NOTHING worked.. Unfortunately..
    I'm VERY disappointed since my ipad cost me about 720 euros and the PRIMARY reason i got it was about reading e-books... (on a sidenote when i purchased it I was shocked to see iBooks was not even already bundled in - thought it was a joke)..
    Hope someone from apple might read this and help us.. :////////////

  • (268625273) Q WSI-29 Can you give any performance benchmarks for WLS web services?

    Q<WSI-29> Can you give any performance benchmarks for WLS web services?
    A<WSI-29>: It is very difficult to quantify performance aspects of web services
    since they depend on so many variables including but not limited to: backend system
    processing by stateless session beans and message driven beans, size of XML SOAP
    message sent, system hardware (CPU speed, parallel processing, RAM speed) and
    system software (JVM type and version of WebLogic server). However, let me point
    out that the EJB backend processing of requests both have the best possible scalability
    within the EJB2.0 specification (both stateless session and message driven beans
    can be pooled) and servlets have a proven scalable track record. Thus it should
    be possible to scale your web service deployment to meet demand. The overhead
    in processing XML within the servlet can be significant depending on the size
    of XML data (either as a parameter or a return type). While WLS6.1 does not have
    any features to address this performance concern, WLS7.0 will feature Serializer
    and Deserializer classes which can be dedicated to the XML to Java and Java to
    XML translation (they can also be automatically be generated from a DTD, XML Schema
    or regular JavaBean).
    It is true that web services are not the fastest way to process client requests
    but BEA is committed to making WebLogic server the fastest possible service provider.

  • How can I tell which kind of RAM is correct for my iMac G5?

    How can I tell what kind of RAM chips are correct for my iMac G5?  It has two slots and can take up to 1 Gb each slot.  I would like to get Newegg chips, and want to make sure I order the correct ones.
    Also, do you know a website where I can find out how to install them?

    That information is in your computer's user manual.  If you no longer have one then you can download it at support.apple.com/manuals/.  Or you can visit DataMem where they have a Mac chart of which products are needed for different Mac models.

    What extensions accept the iPad and iPhone movies? Can I put any film of any length and with subtitles?

    This is from the developer website (I feel like this is old, since it doesn't say anything about HD resolutions):
    iOS supports many industry-standard video formats and compression standards, including the following:
    H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

  • How many song can you put on your ipod with 16 gb

    how many song can you put on a 16 gb ipod

    With overhead for the software, the 16GB Nano has 14.88GB useable. I have 1,968 songs on mine, using 9.5GB, leaving 5.4 free. Assuming that all 1,968 songs are approximately the same length and size (which of course they aren't ), that would leave me room for ~1,118 more songs for a total of 3,086 songs.
