Get more Ram or new computer?

I have an iMac G5 with 1 GB (I think) of RAM. I run programs like InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and find myself watching the spinning rainbow more than I am getting any work done. Would getting more RAM help my computer run faster or do I have to resort to getting a new computer? Any help provided would be greatly appreciated!
This is what shows under my RAM window...
DIMM0/J4000:
Size: 512 MB
Type: DDR SDRAM
Speed: PC3200U-30330
DIMM1/J4001:
Size: 512 MB
Type: DDR SDRAM
Speed: PC3200U-30330

You have not maxed out your memory. Since you did not indicate which model iMac you have, see the following:
Rev A models - 2GB
Rev B (Ambient Light) - 2GB
Rev C (iSight) - 2.5GB
You can install the RAM yourself. Your user manual that came w/your computer has detailed instructions. Also see Article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300205 iMac G5 DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Instructions
As Miriam already stated, make sure that the RAM you purchase has a lifetime warranty.
MGW, the servers are wacky again.

Hey kevyg3,
I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:

I am trying to get CS5.5onto my new computer. when i load cs5.5 towards the end of the install it asks for the cs5.5 serial number. i put that in and everything is accepted but then it asks for a serial number for a full version of a product which men is design premium cs3 but it doesn't give me that product as a choice from the drop down menu. it only gives me adobe master collection cs3. why when i have purchased all these different upgrades can i now not use them and how can i sort this out. i need cs5.5 on my new computer.

Is there a way to get Itunes on my new computer to retrieve purchased songs

Is there a way to get Itunes on my new computer to retrieve purchased songs without connecting to my old computer or using disks?

If you have those purchases on an iPod, simply dock the iPod & you will be asked if you want to sync your purchases iPod back into iTunes.

HT1766 Recently i had to get a new computer due to my other one crashing. My question is, i was able to get itunes on the new computer, but it doesnt want to transfer my music library? How do i transfer the music from the phone to the computer?

Recently i had to get a new computer. I was able to get itunes on the new computer and itunes did reconize my phone. BUT, it doesnt want to transfer the music from my phone to the computer? Can someone help, Please??
Thanks

File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes will transfer items purchased from the iTunes store.
If you have items from other sources (ripped CD's, etc.) on the phone, you can't transfer those without purchasing 3rd party software.
Restore the backup of your old computer or just copy the data from the old computer to the new one.

How do I get entire library onto new computer without old ipod (stolen) or old computer (died)? When I plugged in my new ipod 5th gen, it only synced purchases.

You restore the media to your new computer using the backup you made of your old computer before it died. You did backup your computer, right?

I have an Ipod that I downloaded my own music from the old computer. I would like to add them to my Itune account, but more importantly I would like to get them onto my new computer. Any solutions?

I have a Ipod that has my personal music on it from a previous computer. I would like to sync the music from the Ipod to my new computer. How can I do this?

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod/iphone. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
Use your backup copy of your old comptuer to put everything on the new one.

How do i get itunes account on new computer?

how do i get my itunes account on a new computer?

An account is nothing more than a login and password.
Sign in.
If what was really meant was how to get the media on the new computer, copy it (the ENTIRE iTunes folder) from the old computer to the new computer.

How do I get iTunes on a new computer to recognize and use my files on the local drive? My music files on iCloud have been recognized.

My old computer failed. All files, including iTunes were backed up on a separate drive. All files have been loaded on the new computer. iTunes was reloaded, and recognizes all files on iCloud, but does not link to the files on the computer. How can I re-establish that linkage?

Hello jzinser,
I am not sure on how you reset up your iTunes library on your new computer. If you copied the music by dragging on top of iTunes, then the media would have been put into the proper location. If you have the media copied to your computer and have not established in iTunes where it sits, then you will need to do that within the preferences in iTunes. Take a look at the articles below for more information to help sort this out.

My old computer crashed before I could de-install cloud - how do I get it on my new computer?

I got Creative Cloud through my school last semester. Just a month ago, my computer crashed and I had to have my hard drive replaced, losing my entire creative cloud. I got a new computer and tried to reinstall cloud but when I put in my depemption it says that its already been redeemed. Which, I would expect, since I was never able to deactivate cloud on my last harddrive.
How do I go about getting the programs onto my computer now?

You simply sign in with your Adobe ID in CC app. There is no need to run the redemption procedure just for a reinstall. If you need to reset activations, contact support by web chat.
