Doesn't recognize one of my RAM sticks

I just bought 2 x 1 GB from crucial and tried to install them in my 2.0 G MBP. I ordered a matched pair and stuck both of them in but it's only recognizing one of them. I tried to make sure both sticks have been pushed in. What else am I not doing right?

Hard to say without looking at it.
Did you run a hardware diagnostic (insert the install disk which came with your computer and hold down 'D' while booting until an ancient-looking icon appears, and eventually follow the prompts)? Does it say anything useful, or does it just say that your 1GB passes?

Doesn't recognize one artist as an "artist"

Everything on my iPod nano is just fine, however, one of my artists doesn't get listed under "Artists" on the iPod. On iTunes, it's just fine. But on the iPod, I have to search for them under album titles. Even when I go to genres, and I select the genre of the artist, it counts them in the number of artists total for that genre, but doesn't list them by name. If I select, "All albums", though, there they are.
I've tried resetting my iPod; renaming the artist, syncing the iPod, then renaming them again (to their real name) and re-syncing the iPod; clearing all the music off the iPod and adding it back - none of this worked.
What gives?
Thanks!

There are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song is marked as part of a compilation or 2) the song has no album name associated with it.
if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. If you are using iTunes 8 and view the multiple items info box the compilations setting is in the "Options" tab. Setting "Compilations" on your iPod main menu prevents you getting lots of single artist entries when you load an album by various artists.
Also if the tracks are missing an Album name in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances (for instance I read somewhere that if you have at least two tracks with different album names the rest will appear), however the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous to all the blanks in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod

Tecra 8200 doesn't recognize RAM in Slot B

Since a few days my Tecra doesn't recognize the RAM Module in Slot B. Before all was fine. I have 2x256MB Modules. I was wondering why my Tecra becomes more slow the last days and then i saw that i have now just 256MB RAM. I change the Modules from Slot A to B. I checked also both RAM moduls with MEMCheck. Both are ok! Just when i put one RAM to Slot B and none to Slot A my Tecra doesn't boot up! If i insert both moduls my Tecra boots up but just with 256MB RAM.
Is there an other solution then to buy a new Notebook? Is my Mainbord demaged?
I was so contently with my Tecra until now ;-)

Hi
Like Joao said, probably the memory slot B is defective and therefore the memory module cannot be recognized.
The notebook supports max 512MB (2x256MB) but I dont know if the single 512MB module can be used in one slot.
I presume its not possible.

Mac mini doesn't recognize RAM

I recently upgraded my mac mini (1.83 Ghz proccessor) to 2 GB of ram (1 GB to each place).
Unfortunately, it doesn't recognize the one of the two slots. The ram was purchased from a local iStore.

Recheck the RAM spec's, Mac's are picky and many times that will happen with multiple speed or the incorrect RAM. Additionally if the RAM is the correct spec, then you may either one that is not fully seated in the slot or one module that is bad.

After RAM upgrade on Satellite L30-10S only one RAM stick is recognized

I just added an 1GB Crucial Ram stick into the L30-10S (PSL33E), but only the 1GB get recognized, the Hyundai stick (512MB), which was supplied with the laptop, isn't been used by the system anymore.
I tried switch around, but I can only get 1 RAM stick to work at the time, either 1GB, when both rams are placed in the slots or if only the 1GB is installed or 512MB when I leave the 1GB out.
Did anyone actually managed to get 2 Stick running simultaneously, on this system?
BTW CPU-z did recognize both sticks and reports correctly 1536MB, the BIOS however only 1GB, actually less, since some is taking by the graphics card.
The BIOS version on my system is V2.80, dated 03/05/2007 and both memory are the same speed PC2-4200.

Did you really read all those topics???

L30 series supports memory up to 2gb, and if you use memory from a reliable brand, you'll have no (compatibility) problem. Maybe Crucial ram is not the best choice. As I see all those guys have problem with Crucial ram. Something's wrong with it...
And don't forget something: opening a new topic won't help you, if nobody can solve the problem in another topics...
PS: Try Kingmax, Kingston, Samsung, Corsair modules. I never had problem with those brands.

Windows Vista doesn't recognize Mac Pro RAM

I have installed Windows Vista Business on my Mac Pro using Boot Camp, and have found some anomalies that seem strange. It is basically working well (for Windows....).
1. I installed this on a 500Gb HD on my Mac Pro. This machine is a fully configured box doing video editing, with extensive AV files. It has all four drive bays filled, 3 of them with 1Tb drives, the thrid with a single 500Gb drive. I was a bit surprised to find that Boot Camp won't allow partitioning of its OSX installed boot HD beyond a Mac Partition and the Boot Camp paritition, or a secondary entire HD dedicated to Windows. This is not very practical with these large drives, since even though HD storage is fairly cheap, I don't want to give Microsoft more than maybe 100gb on a drive. All of the other HDs are partitioned for multiple parititions, which I need to preserve. The OSX boot drive has 3 OSX partitions already installed. Any ideas on how to do this better? Yes, I know I can use Parallels or VMWare, and do, but find that native Boot Camp Windows is better.
2. Windows Vista is running on a dedicated HD in Boot Camp on this machine (to all appearances running fine), but doesn't recognize more than 2Gb of RAM on my machine which is configured with 10Gb of RAM which is recognized appropriately in OSX. What am I missing?
I would appreciate any help on a partitioning scheme that works to support multiple partitions on these large drives, and a reason that only 2Gb out of 10Gb of RAM is recognized by Windows Vista Business in Boot Camp.
Thanks!!!

Thanks for your response.
I am running in Boot Camp, which runs in native mode without emulation. The advantage is that if you are going to run Windows, which is my goal, it doesn't have the overhead of OSX. Indeed, most Mac machines are among the fastest Windows machines available for equivalent hardware when running Windows in native mode. There are a few more arcane advantages to running natively, particularly in terms of connecting to external devices. There is no background RAM overhead when run natively.
Thanks....

My Nano took a trip thru the washer and dryer and I assume it is destroyed. My wife bought me a new one, but Itunes doesn't recognize it, although my computer does. How do I get pack into my music, I don't want to start all over again?

How do I get Itunes to recognize it. I spent a lot of time recording my old cassetes and don't want to start all over again. I just want to get back to where I was.

Did you already try the troubleshooting here? iPod not appearing in iTunes

My Mac Mini doesn't recognize my Avengers DVD--it keeps saying "Supported disc not available." I've tried other DVD's which work, but not this one. itunes and everything else has been updated to the newest versions. Help?

I have ALL the exact same symptoms as on my home computer.
It sure sounds to me like something on the iPod is broken. If it's under warranty then I would send it back for repair. If not, check out some of the web repair services, such as iPodResQ etc.

I have a big problem. I lost my other device, and Sync doesn't recognize my Recover Key, even if I generate a new one. What to do? I have all my bookmarks there

''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/934696 - locking''
The Sync doesn't recognize my Recovery Key ("Wrong Recovery Key") even if I generate a new one. What to do?

If you have generated a new Recovery Key, then unfortunately the account data that you had before is gone (Sync will wipe all data before creating a new key to ensure it stays secure). So unfortunately at this point, unless you have a backup of your data somewhere, it is inacessible.

One item doesn't recognize me as owner, and I cannot erase it

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me!
I have a Macbook Pro, apparently outdated (Mac OS X 10.6.8). I saved a file ones and added custom access to it, but now, I've been trying to erase it and I can't do it! Every time that I send the document to the trash, a dialog box opens and asks me for my administrator password, I write the password and nothing happens. It's like the file doesn't recognize me as owner. What can I do?

See if any of the information here can help you.
Good luck,

GarageBand doesn't recognize my "one" mic.

THIS NEW VERSION OF GARAGE BAND!!!!!
IT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE MY "ONE" MIC AND QUITS EVERY TIME I TRY TO RECORD. I HAVE A RADIO SHOW AND CANNOT DO IT. I'M REALLY, REALLY, REALLY UPSET!!! CAN ANYONE HELP ME?
<Re-Titled By Host>

Judy,
when you installed GarageBand 10.0 the installer should have moved your GarageBand 6.0.5 to a subfolder in Applications. This version should still be working. If you are working on a tight schedule, use that GarageBand 6.0.5 version for the time being, to get your show done.
GargaeBand 10.0 seems to have a bug causing crashes, i.e. on 2007 models (iMac, MBP) and mid 2011 models. If you have one of these models, use GB '11, until there is a bug fix.
See: GarageBand 10.0 crashes
If you are using older drivers for Audio interfaces or are using plug-ins for custom instruments and sound effects, check with manufacturer's for compatibility with GarageBand 10.0 and Mavericks.

Why Quicktime doesn't recognize my camcorder HVR-A1 on a smaller Macbook but does on the 17" one?

Why Quicktime doesn't recognize my camcorder HVR-A1 on a smaller Macbook but does on the 17" one using 400 Firewire adapted to 800?

I'm baffled why the mic works fine with Dictation but not with QuickTime.
QT likely uses core routines which are compatible with your Lion OS and what can be seen in the "System Preferences" window. On the other hand, Dictation may be using an alternative workflow which can still see/use your mic. To add to the confusion, it appears Lion included changed audio handling routines which, according to some, were released before proper test had been completed and finalized with the release of Mountain Lion. (I.e., Snapz Pro X and WireTap from Ambrosia are still scrambling to update their system audio capture software for these changes but ScreenFlow's routines seem to work already.) In any case, I suspect your problem may be related to the Lion/Mountain Lion audio handling modifications but have no way to confirm such at this time.

My password works fine when I turn the computer on, but when I try to wake it from sleep mode the computer doesn't recognize my password -- the same one I used successfully when I turned the computer on.

Okay, I seem to have solved the problem I posted about earlier. I noticed that the language preference in the upper right hand corner of the screen (between the date and time and the Spotlight icon) had somehow gotten switched from American English to French. When I switched it back to American English, my password worked when waking the computer from sleep mode. I have no idea why changing the language preference would affect the way the password works but that seems to have been the case. I'll post again if I experience more problems.
