Cant find the RAM for my Macbook??

Hi guys, im trying to upgrade my friends ram so he can upgrade to lion and mountain lion.  The problem is apples website says they dont have any for that model and i went on crucial.com and was not sure what model to chose from.  The main page on crucial has a few options to click so it can pin point your exact maodel but the only 2.13ghz model they have has the numbers/letters MC2402LLA at the end, it also doesnt say that its for the white model.  They have another option which says 2.1ghz (white model) MB402LLA.  Im not sure what to do. 
Here are the specs for my friends mac so you guys know.
macbook august 2008 13" white
version 10.6.8
2.1ghz intel core 2 duo
1gb memory    
macbook 4, 1
cpu 1
L2 cache 3mb
bus speed 800mhz
boot rom version mb41.00c1.b00
smc version 1.31F1
Thats all the info i have on it.  i have never bought ram before but i want to buy the 2x2gb ram which is the most his can take.  please help guys, i dont wanna purchase something on crucial.com if im not sure about the numbers maching up.
thanks,
gary

There is no uncertainty about the towers. The method stated to get those two models (1,1 and 2,1) of early Mac Pro towers to run Mountain Lion is far beyond what an 'average' iMac or MacBook user would want to do for a $20 operating system upgrade:
1. Buy a new graphics card (not possible with MacBook or iMac), and
2. Create a boot sequence to 'fool' the OS into running on a system it wasn't intended for.
Developers probably see it as a challenge to overcome, rather than a reason to upgrade their hardware.

  • Cant find the file for approval

    Hi Guys,
    I have selected service application tool package for download.it requires approval which is to be done in MOPZ.
    When i login to our solman i cant find the file for approval in MOPZ.
    steps that i follow
    1. Tcode DSWP.
    2 go to change mdmt
    3 select Maintanence optimize.
    I cant find the file to approve.
    Do i need to create  a new maintaince tcode...?
    Please help

    Hello,
    Please make sure that the S user password is not in initial state. Please also make sure that you can login with no issues in the SAP Service Marketplace , and that the 'authorization test' for SAP-OSS  works OK.
    I am not sure about when you report the error message as: "Logon information is not write." . What do you mean?
    Also, you say that you go to DSWP and the file is not there to approve. The correct way to approve files from Maintenance Optimizer when downloading manually, is to create the Maintenance Optimizer document, then choose the manual selection option, then select the files from within Maintenance Optimizer, and then proceed with the download from Maintenance Optimizer.

  • I cant find the download for 10.8 and every other software download just says "you need 10.8" to download.

    I cant find the download for 10.8. Every update I try to download and intall just says "you need version 10.8 to install but, I cant find 10.8 to download.

    When you do buy it from the Mac App Store  ($20), it will download to your Applications Folder as
    Install OS X Mountain Lion
    provided that your hardware can support Mountain Lion.  If your hardware is not capable, the Mac App Store will not let you buy it.

  • Cant find the Driver for my Wireless on my Laptop

    Hi Everyone,
    So I have been trying to fix my Laptop for some time now. I use to have windows Vista on this Laptop then upgraded to Windows 7. Now everything is perfect but for some reason I cannot find the correct Driver for my Wireless on this laptop. I have tried searching and searching for countless hours and even went on the website and let it detect the system and suggest me the drivers but it doesnt seem to pick up my Windows 7. I have tried the Vista before and it did not work as well. So I am really hoping someone on this forum could help me out. You would make my life sooooo much easier : )
    So When I check out the Network IDs under Properties this is what is Listed.
    PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0269&SUBSYS_30B7103C&REV_A3
    PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0269&SUBSYS_30B7103C
    PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0269&CC_068000
    PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0269&CC_0680
    Please Let me know if you can help me in any way. Thank you everyone for your time

    Hi:
    Install the above driver and that will install both the ethernet driver and co-processor driver.
    You have a problem with the wireless card...could be minor, could be major.
    The wireless card is missing from the device manager.
    Install this software, reboot, and see if you can turn on the wireless card by using this software.

    If that doesn't get the Network Controller device to show up so that you can post the hardware ID for it, then the motherboard is shot.  Power to the slot that the wireless card is connected to has been cut.

  • HT4796 Pc cant find the Imac for tranfers.. any suggestions ??

    Apple people .. please help me..

    What is your problem? Be specific.
    First off the PC doesn't Find the iMac. The iMac finds the PC.
    Second you REALLY Do Not want to use Migration Assistant. Just copy over your personal files from the PC to the Mac. Do that either over your LAN or to an external drive formatted FAT32 or exFAT.
    Migration assistant, If it Works, has unintended consequences.
    There is nothing on any PC, other then personal data files (Images, Music and office files), that work on a Mac. No programs or settings will be carried over.

  • I cant find the icon for hotmail so i cant see my emails

    i cant get into my hotmail outlook account as the icon has dissapeaered what do i do to rectify this problem

    Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using '''one''' of the following steps:
    *Hold down the ''Shift'' key and click the ''Reload'' button with a left click.
    OR
    *Press ''Ctrl'' + ''F5'' or ''Ctrl'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Windows and Linux)
    *Press ''Command'' + ''Shift'' + ''R'' (Mac)
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

    Thank you.

  • My computer cant find the files for my songs after the download

    My computer shows most of my songs cant be found, they are still on my phone, how do i fix this? 

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I want to install the new itunes but it says it cant find the old one what do i do?

    hi, on my computer my itunes needs to be updated but it cant because it cant find the files for it what do i do?

    Many thanks.
    If it's saying it can't find the iTunes.msi or iTunes64.msi, we should try the following procedure.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Hi! i just bought the iPad mini 3 today with a case that supports the automatic sleep/wake lid action but i could not find the setting for the sleep/wake lid action in my settings.
