Error installing OS then 4MEM/4/40000000: , does it mean bad RAM only ?
Long story short , while installing OS 10.4.10 combo update I got this message "there were errors installing your software , please restart your computer " , started up but would not get passed the login bar /blue screen , after numerous tries I started up from my cloned system , repaired permissions , verified disk (found problems and fixed them) , also booted up from original install DVD and checked the startup disk , showed all ok , still no luck , ran Techtool deluxe tests , everything passed , still no go, after various other atempts ( zapping PRam , starting in single user mode typing "reboot' etc.. ) without success I went for an archive and install from the original DVD , the installer stopped in the middle (there were errors installing...please restart) , same thing after writting zeroes to the disk and attempting a clean install , last I ran the Apple hardvare test which showed:" 4MEM/4/40000000: " (just that , no error code after 4MEM/4/40000000: ) , does it mean a RAM problem exclusively or could it be something else hardware related ? (I did tests using only one RAM chip at a time early on , did not seem to help) , I'd like to rule out the RAM before going to Apple (2GB third party RAM ).
Any help appreciated.

You'll have to ask an Apple Authorized Service Provider exactly what that error means, but it would seem to indicate a RAM problem. You could have a problem with the RAM slots themselves, not necessarily the RAM chips. But, chances are it's the RAM chips if everything was running before. It's possible that the software update revealed a problem that was not detected before. If you get the error with the Apple RAM, I would call AppleCare Support. If you get the error with your third party vendor, I would call them.

Hi - I keep receiving the following error message on a song I purchased from itunes and am now trying to drag and drop to my iPad: "you must download items from icloud before you can copy then to iPad" what does this mean - please help! Thank you
Hi Poonam26c,
If you do not have a local copy of a song which you have purchased (i.e. it is available via iTunes in the Cloud), you may need to redownload it before you can transfer it to your device. You may find the following article helpful:

My iPhone became wet at the beach. I put it in rice for 4 days. When I connect to itunes, it says the phone must be restored. It starts and then gives either the error 2001, or 2006. What exactly does this mean, and is it worth getting repaired?

I just bought an iMac, while setting it up I was prompted to update the OS software. I tried to update it. It won't complete the update, and says "Error- requested timed out. (102) what does that mean? how do I fix it?
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select "/var/log/install.log" from the file list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, start over and note the time. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

The battery icon on my (old) MacBook Pro turned red for a few moments, then black. What does this mean?
penny41,
Thanks, glad it helped you to check your battery status.
Something else to look at would be the cycle count, as you mention that your computer is "ancient". If you have a high number of cycles, it may also be a sign that the battery is tired and possibly nearing it's life span, and may possibly need to be replaced soon. If you see that again you may try a SMC reset to see if that helps, but if it continues you may need a new battery at some point. The battery icon will usually say needs service, or something to that effect. For the later MBP's Apple claims a life span of up to 1000 cycles, of this also will be dependent on who the battery is used, on the older ones I'm not quite sure what the claims were, and I don't know how old "ancient" in your case actually means.
I provide this for your info, so that you understand what may possibly be occurring.
I wish you the best.
SMC reset:
Follow directions for what applies to your machine, a battery you can remove, or a battery you should not remove yourself.

I BOUGHT 15gb of storage and it is not enough. I then bought the 25gb.Does this mean I have 40gb now or can I cancel the 15gb plan. All I need is the 25gb plan.
This should answer your question:
"If you purchase a higher-tier storage plan for your iCloud account to replace your existing storage plan (for example, a 20 GB plan to replace a 10 GB plan), the existing plan will be canceled and you will receive a prorated refund for the time remaining. The new storage plan is applied to your iCloud account and the annual payment date is updated to reflect the purchase date for the new plan." - https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4874 -

If I have logged into icloud on a friends phone and then I delete account does this mean it will sign out of my phone ?
No. It deletes the iCloud backup (and possibly the data on your friend's phone if you're not careful). It does not affect the content of any other iOS device.

When I try to e-mail photos from i photo 11... I am getting this message: "Error type 10665" .
What does this mean? I have gone over the tutorials for emailing photos... very simple... am doing exactly that...
and I have also done this before... so I am not sure what the problem is.
The photos have been downloaded from my i phone... would that matter?
thank you..
debiHello WayneSchlapkohl,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are looking to Email a scanned photo, but do not want the file to be to large. Are you using HP software when you get the error "not connected to the internet" ? If so, What is the Operating System installed, Windows, including version, e.g. Windows 7 or Mac, including version, e.g. 10.8?
Lowering the DPI or resolution will help keep the file size down, if you have an option for that in the software.
Also, what is the Email client are you using, MSN, Gmail, etc?
Cheers,
JERENDS
