Does it matter if RAM is upside down?

I bought memory from crucial to upgrade my new 20" 2.66ghz iMac from the stock 2gig to 4gig. Oddly enough, the iMac manual says "make sure the notch in the RAM module is on the left side when you insert it," but it actually needs to be on the right side. The stock RAM has notches on the right, and the little stickers on the modules are on top when you insert the RAM.
No big deal, I just turned the crucial RAM around (so the stickers were on the bottom), except that the crucial RAM didn't work. I got the "no RAM" beeps from the iMac.
Should the RAM work "upside down" like that?

Hey Jim, first you should simply google to find an image of what the ram should look like on you mac. Secondly, I purchased some ram from OWC and they actually shipped me a picture instruction manual. My sticker side of the ram is facing away from the mother board and other components and I am using a G4 flat screen imac, where the ram has to inputted in the base of the computer. I would think that the sticker would be away from the other components being that it would be a foreign matter so to speak.

  • Why does my mouse scroll wheel work upside down?

    I have a Logitech portable mouse attached to my Macbook Pro and the scroll wheel works backward so when I pull down on the wheel the page does up and vice versa.  Is it me or is there a setting in my Mac I need to reverse?

    Thank you Ralph. In my Mac I had a box that said, "Move content in the direction of finger movement when scrolling or navigating and it was checked.  As soon as I unchecked the box, the problem was solved.

    Usually when I flip my iPad upside down.  The screen flips upsidedown to become upsideright.  It stopped doing that. Anyone know why ?

    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why does iPad render online photo upside down?

    Please see this site: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=65508&CScn=Oakwood&CScntry =4&CSst=36&CScnty=2005&
    Re: The second photo on the right.
    When it is viewed on the computer (Mac Pro, Mac Mini, via Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Opera) it is fine.
    When it is viewed on the iPad (original, no camera), it is upside down.
    It stays at the wrong orientation regardless how the iPad is rotated.
    This does not happen with all photos on this site.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mwg

    Cameras can embed orientation data into images so that display/editing software can automatically show them the right way up. The second (and third) images would both appear to have been rotated without amending the orientation data so that the iPad sees them as being "upside-down" and corrects. I downloaded the full size original of the second image and Picasa also displays the image upside-down. Under properties it gives Orientation: Rotated 100 Degrees.
    Now we know why, there is the separate issue of whether or not the iPad should obey or ignore orientaion data for images rendered as part of a web page. It certainly leads to an inconsitency with other views of the same page.

    Thanks again. I tried channel 13 and it seemed to work better, with less dropouts (albeit not perfect) but sadly my slightly ageing laptop wouldn't recognise the network at all with the Hub set to that channel, so I had to switch it back to 11!
    Will try the factory reset at some point to see if that improves things.

    Steve - Can you kinldy clarify how you resolved the problem finally.
    I was infact planning to change the iPad or sell it off due to this recurring problem.

  • Upside down camera & the usual fix does not seem to be working

    Hey there,
    So I'm one of those "lucky" owners of an Asus laptop with a camera (F3jp-ap098c) installed upside down, and so when I run Skype, or anything that uses the camera feed, it's upside down.
    The usual fix you can find on the net is:
    * install multilib/lib32-v4l-utils
    * run skype with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
    But when I do that, I get
    ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.
    and then skype proceeds executing like nothing happened and I still got my camera wrong.
    Any ideas about what I could be doing wrong? (I am running x86_64)

    Just to double check you have https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … 4/v4l2ucp/
    And the location is correct?  The file exists at /usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so ?  If yes have you tried loading v4l2convert.so instead?  Just going off what I see online here but thought it might help.

    If the file type is PDF then open them in Acrobat and rotate them via Tools - Pages - Rotate (not via the View menu, which is only temporary).
    You can also do this in an Action, if you have Acrobat Pro, and process multiple files in a single process.

    Some friends have told me that their phone can last up to 2 days without charging??
    If they are getting 2 days without charging, it's unlikely they use their device very much.
    A full day is pretty good....and if I'm careful, I can easily get a full day of usage.
    For me, normal is charging the iPhone mid afternoon at work, but I use it a lot.
    My typical usage is 35 mins of listening to podcasts, checking email, checking my RSS feed, and checking a few apps while I ride my bike when I first get up.  Then listening to several podcasts at work.
    I typically stream music while working out during my lunch hour and use the Men's Health Fitness app to track my progress.
    By about 2pm I'm ready to charge the device as it's getting low (somewhere between 20% and 50%).
    I leave bluetooth, Wi-FI, and location services turned on all the time.
    Personally, I just do not see the point in going into settings to turn on the feature when I need it... just too much hassle.  All of my listening to podcasts and music is via Bluetooth.
    I know I'm not the heaviest user, but I just do not see how anyone can realistically make it two days on a single charge, it makes me think they simply do not use the features of the device and would be just as well served with a basic or feature phone.

    No one can be of much help because we don't know anything about your clip, what you did to the clip, how you set up your composition, what version of AE you are trying to use. I'm assuming you are new to AE and have never gone through the training materials and that you are using some kind of non standard video in your composition.

    Anyone had trouble loading Jeopardy HD App?  Mine loaded upside down.  Tried everything, re-starting, re--loading, all to no avail.  Have to turn screen upside down to play.

    The App Store is scanning the Mac and finding purchased apps in the Applications folder. It then checks against the list and finds that they are old versions and prompts for an update.
    All that is required to install an app is a Apple ID and admin rights on the target mac. The apps she is installing are wrapped in DRM which identify her as the owner, but the App Store doesn't care, as she is entitled to install them on your Mac. But it reads her ID from the wrapper and thus prompts for her password to do the update.
    I'd personally suggest that just one of you has admin rights and does all the purchasing off the App Store. You could remove all her apps from the mac, but you'd then need to purchase them again to consolidate them into your ID.
    Or you could just get her to do the updates!

  • I put accidentally upside down a music CD and it won't go out and it does not read it. How could I eject it?

    I don't know how to eject a music CD, that accidentally i put it upside down. And the computer doesnt read it. Please, someone could help me?

    all known methods to force eject a stuck cd from a mac:
    First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the trash can in the dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
    If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
    Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
    If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
    Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
    Open Disc Utilityand choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
    Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
    Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
    If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.
