Did Apple send me the wrong RAM??? Doesn't fit!

I bought 2GB of RAM. I selected MacPro (early 2009) and it told me this is what I need: 2GB 1066MHZ DDR3 ECC 1X2GB-GEN
I bought it and it DOESN'T FIT!
Did I buy the wrong one? What the ****?!

Hi,
with what your signature says, you don't have a Early 2009 MacPro !
Most likely that's why you got the wrong modules.
My interpretation of your sig leads to a 2 x 2.66 Dual-Core Mac Pro from late 2006 / early 2007
Use the System Profiler (Applications/Utilities folder) and look at the hardware overview for the Model Itentifier.
If Mac Pro 1.1 then my assumption is correct.

  • Did apple give me the wrong Ipod?

    Well, my mom was at the store today and was buying me a new Ipod Touch. She paid $500 for it, and it was the old Ipod Touch 32gb. It didn't have the sound control OR the speakers, plus it was $100 more than apple says the new 32gb Ipod Touch is being sold for.
    Right now, my mind set is that I am gonna return the ipod I just got and get the new 32 gb with all the new stuff(since I didn't put anything on the ipod I have now anyways). Is that a good idea? I just want the new Ipod Touch, haha.
    PS: I just realized this is in the wrong section... can someone move it, or will it just stay here?

    So my headphone jack bugged out on me and so i sent it in to Apple on Friday the 5th, and contacted them about it on the 3rd. and they recieved my Ipod Touch, that i got for Xmas last year. Its still under warranty.
    Neways, what i want to know is, will they give me an older model replacement? or give me 1 of the new ones to replace my broken Ipod Touch.
    Repair status is Replacement product pending since the 8th.
    i hope against hope they give me a new 1 lol, but i highly doubt they will ='(. what do u guys think?

    I have 4 email accounts in apple Mail.  My mail is sending from the wrong account.  even on "reply" it sends from a different account.  I have 3 gmail accounts and one exchange server account. I choose which account to send from and it still sends from the same gmail account.  Help.

    I HAD two accounts because of this problem.  I completely removed the problem account from the Apple Mail client.  Guess what is happening??  That's right - Mail is still sending from the other account that no longer exists on my computer, and I have absolutely no idea how this is happening.  This is incredibly frustrating.  When a recipient chooses to reply to my message, quite often I won't get it now because it is going to the other account that has now been deleted from my system.  COME ON APPLE!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS???

  • RAM doesn't fit in the Memmory Slot on PowerBook G4 17"

    I recently purchased a 512 MB RAM from apple.com for my powerbook G4 17" 1.67 that I bought a year ago. I currently have a 512 MB RAM on my powerbook, trying to upgrade it to 1 G by adding one more RAM to it.
    The problem is the new RAM can't fit in on both of the memory slots at the back of the powerbook. The gap on the edge of the RAM is a bit off if compares to the old RAM I have.. this is weird.
    Does anyone have this problem??
    This RAM was purchased from apple.com, it couldn't be wrong, but why it can't fit in the slot??? Please help...

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    There are two 512MB modules for the PB 17", and they are different. M9595G/A (DDR333 PC2700) is for the PB 17" prior to October/Nov 2005, and MA219G/A (DDR2 PC2-4200) is for the post-Oct 2005 high resolution screen, dual layer DVD systems. Maybe check the memory against those numbers to see if you have the incorrect memory, or if you look at your system profiler (click blue apple, about this mac, more information, memory) it will tell you what you currently have in your system.

  • Did apple send an update that eliminates any 3rd party chargers?

    Having an issue on my iPad Air. I have some apple brand chargers and some others around the house. Usually use the non branded because of the longer cord and bedside location.  All chargers were working fine until Tuesday. Now none of the non apple chargers will charge it from any location. They all make the usual sound when connected but now say "not charging". Nothing has changed on my end.
    Did apple send an update that eliminates any 3rd party chargers? That would be very heavy handed and downright unfair.
    Does anyone know what is causing this?

    I believe that yes, the iOS 8.x update is more touchy/sensitive to what charger you use, especially on higher current devices like the iPad. I would assume that this behavior is to more strictly regulate what chargers work/don't work and to more adequately & safely and charge the iPad. I really doubt it was meant to "eliminate any 3rd party chargers". 3rd party chargers may not provide enough current to adequately charge the device, especially those of low amperage and/or those meant to charge the iPhone/iPod.
    Check your 3rd party chargers and make sure they provide 10 amps or more of output current. Those that do not are more likely to not charge correctly and display the "not charging" message.

  • How do I change an apple Id when the wrong one appears

    How  do I change an apple id, when the wrong one appears

    On your Mac/PC open iTunes (make sure it is updated). On the tabs on the left click on "iTunes Store". This will change the window on the right to the iTunes store. The top right corner should have your Apple ID or Sign In written. If there is an Apple ID written click on it and Sign Out. The corner should then change to "Sign In".
    Now click on Sign In and sign in with the wrong/incorrect Apple ID that you no longer wish to use or update from.
    Once logged in, click on the down arrow that shows when you move the pointer on the top right corner where it should now show the apple id, and select Account.
    The page that opens up should have a section called "iTunes in the Cloud" with a tab on the side saying "Manage Devices".
    Click on Manage Devices. Its should list your iPhone or iPad that you no longer wish to use with this Apple ID. And click Remove.
    Once its confirmed click "Done" and from the top right corner select Sign Out.

  • Why did apple screw up the discussion forum format?

    Why did apple screw up the discussion forum format?

    Hi,
    Apple in this case has to rely on what software is out there that can handle the amount of Traffic that these boards get.
    This is from the Brows Option the selecting People in the box
    Note the Number
    At the Launch of the new software this was at just over 2,250,000 and has now topped 2,300,000
    That is well over 50,000 people joining in just 2 weeks.
    Jive are the only real players in this market.
    To some extent the software is a one size fits all, much like the previous software was.
    We got used to the look and the Folder type layout of the Previous software.
    We ignored the foibles of where things were placed.
    Things are somewhat double edged in my view.
    I post mostly about iChat.
    I don't like that the Leopard and Snow Leopard forums that were are now "Refine the List"/Tag led searching to read specific threads. (not to mention that returning to "Dicussions" loses the "refinement").
    On the other hand those same threads and anwsers are now a lot more viewable in the OS forums than the subforums of before.
    As a regular poster I use a couple of Boiler plate things for a welcome message and my Signature.
    Some were made with TextExpander and included the HTML code to sttyle things slightly.
    These no longer work without going to the HTML editor.
    Posting link used to use the BBCodeXtra add-on to Firefox but this action is now included in the Regular and Advanced Editor. 
    That means I equipped myself and used things to get around shortcomings of the old software which is some cases I either don't need or need to learn the new way.
    I am sure the Style will morph as we go along.
    Of course some of this relies on what exactly you mean by:-

  • Apple sent me the wrong iPhone4, they won't send me the right one back!!

    The fedex guy knocks on my door, I get my iphone4 today, I was all excited after waiting for 2 weeks, but when I open the case I found a 16gig iPhone4 instead of the 32gig I ordered. After waiting over one hour on the phone with support, they tell me that I am right, they sent the wrong phone.
    What baffles me is their "solution" to the problem: they tell me that they have to place a return order on the phone and that once they get it back, I will be refunded and then I need to reorder AGAIN, from scratch! As if nothing happened, they send me to the back of the looong waiting line. They will not send the right iphone immediately, even though they made the mistake.
    So pretty much I have to wait who knows how long to get the phone because they messed up. They won't express ship it, they won't give me one on the store in exchange (actually, I cannot even do the return on a store because I ordered online!!). All they did was to offer me one of those overpriced bumper cases of them as consolation.
    Sorry, about the long rant, but I am really upset. This is not the way to treat anybody. I don't know if I want the phone now, but I guess they could care less after all the ones they are selling. Did I mention I am an apple fan?

  • How did Apple screw up the maps app this badly?

    I am normally not a complainer, but rather appreciate great technology.
    However, I am shocked beyond description about how badly Apple screwed up the maps application in IOS 6.
    The maps application is the by far the most frequently used and most useful iphone application for me.
    I rely on it all the time.  It WAS so incredibly easy to use, and almost always dependable.
    Yes, turn-by-turn directions would be nice, but not at the cost of screwing up so many other critical features.
    I have now had 2 extremely frustrating experiences.
    The other night, I was driving home from work and using the maps application to route to a store.  I was using the voice instruction mode.  There was heavy traffic so I wanted to zoom out / around to look for alternate routes.  Well, this is almost impossible to do, and furthermore, there is much less accurate and detailed information about traffic conditions.  This would have been a piece of cake with the old maps application.
    Yesterday, I had to make a trip to Pacific Sales in San Jose.I tried "Pacific" with the mapped zoomed to the general area, and it could not find it.Then I tried "Pacific sales", again no luck.  Its an appliance store, so I tried "appliances", and again no luck.
    Finally, I had to log into the web, go to google maps, and find it there.
    It was slow, but it worked!
    1 month ago, I had the highest confidence in Apple due to their track record of deliverying great stuff that works and is easy to use.
    I would never have considered an android phone.
    However, this problem with the maps app has so shaken my confidence in Apple, that I will go today to look at a Samsung Galaxy III.
    Maybe its not going to be my thing, but I hope Apple realizes how big they screwed up.
    The Apple of Steve Jobs would never, ever, ever have let this happen.
    The old Apple would have stayed with Google Maps for another year, and made this new maps app better, more reliable, and more user friendly than Android BEFORE releasing it.  It would have been revolutionarily good and would have surprised us with how good it was.
    I really truly love Apple and its products.
    But this is a really bad mistake and I am so fearful that its an omen of whats to come in future from Apple.
    I would not be surprised if this very deeply damages Apple at a time when the competition is getting tougher & tougher.
    Of all the functions on the Apple Iphone, the maps are the heart and soul.  Apple is probably right to go its own way eventually, but not like this!
    It is just going to drive people into the arms of Android.
    I am just curious, did Apple actually test this thing thoroughly before releasing it?
    I mean, it took me only a few days to figure out this thing is total crap.
    How did Apple not know this (which is a very scary thought), or maybe even more scary, maybe they did know but feel they have enough market power to get away with it?  I can't think of any other explanations. So, which is it?  Either way, its very bad news for Apple fans.

    Ok, 3 more wonderful IOS 6 maps experiences to share!
    When out shopping for paints, decided to visit Kelly Moore.
    Used the maps app and used it to take me to the nearest store, except it was not where maps said it would be!
    I called the Kelly Moore store, and they told me the maps app has the wrong town, and they have had many customers with the same problem!
    Next up, I was looking for a Sherwin Williams store in San Jose, so maps took me to El Camino Real, except it took me to the wrong end of El Camino Real in Santa Clara, about 15 minutes from the right destination in Mountain View!  In fact, the app took me to Santa Clara University!
    Last up, I was looking for a Chevron station.  Apps routed me to the location, but no gas station. 
    So, I finally decide to use google maps through the browser, and it ends up it was again the right address but wrong city!!!! 
    Unbelievable!  My confidence in Apple has been further shaken, to where I am about to give up.
    I just can't trust their app, which is something I depend on every day to save me time, money and gas.
    So disappointed in Apple right now...  It makes antenna gate look like a minor incident, which it was in my opinion!

  • Email is sending from the wrong account?

    Hey guys
    My computer's mail system is sending out my emails from the wrong email. I have 3 emails hooked up to my mailing system and one of them is a school email for a club I run and often times, I'll be sending out a personal email and it'll say that I sent it from my school email when in my outbox and sent mail that I sent it from my personal email. This is getting really annoying. Help would be much appreciated!

    Go to Mail, then under Mail choose Preferences and see which account you have checked as the default email account.  Also, before you send an email, look to see which account the email is being sent from, that appears with the address information in the upper portion of the Mail window.  You can change the From account before sending if it is not what you want.

  • Why did Apple send me a password recovery email to an email I never tied to my Apple ID?

    I needed to change my password so I submitted a password recovery request. I was emailed to an account I don't think I ever associated with my Apple ID. When I check my Apple ID settings, this particular email doesn't show up in either primary or alternate email addresses. Even more perplexing, just a few weeks ago I had to change my password, and my correct email, the one tied to my apple id, was sent the reset link.
    What could be causing this?

    Somewhere along the way something had to have been purchased to link that email address, or some account was setup using it.  Have you gone through the AppleID FAQ parts about Managing your Account?  You might also try using the ExpressLane if all else fails: https://expresslane.apple.com and then iTunes and iTunes Store since the ID goes through the iTunes Store.

  • Sending an invite sends from the wrong account

    I have several email addresses and I prepared an iCal meeting event for work, but when I sent the emails it didn't give me a chance to specify which address I was sending *it from it sent them from the wrong address*.
    Any ideas how to fix this?
    Eric

    You may have already worked this out, but perhaps there are others wondering how to get around this too:
    1. you need to have your card set up in address book (AB)
    2. go to AB preferences and change email type in templates to the one you want iCal to use by default-this will then appear as the first email address in your own card in AB
    Hope this makes sense.
