Help! Upgraded RAM not showing up in Vista

I recently added another 4Gb of RAM to my Mac Pro, up from 2Gb. OSX recognises the new total at 6Gb; but Vista does not- it only sees the original 2Gb.
Some more info (if it proves relevant)- Vista Ultimate x32, other than that a stock early 2008 Mac Pro (8 Core).
Any and all help greatly received. Also hoping that I've not missed something really obvious & end up looking like a total noob.
Matt

As the other poster said, when you install the 32 bit version of Windows Vista on your Mac Pro, you will only be able to access 2GB of memory. This is apparently a hardware limitation on the Mac Pro.
Since you are using Windows Vista Ultimate, you should also have the 64 bit version of Vista Ultimate on your Vista DVD. Redo the Windows installation by installing Windows Vista x64 and you should be able to access the full 6GB memory in Windows.
Note, however, that some Windows programs may not be compatible with Vista x64. Check whether this is the case first.
If you do not have the 64 bit version of Vista on your Vista DVD, contact Microsoft about getting a copy. You should only be required to pay some shipping fee since you already bought Vista.

  • All RAM not showing up

    I just installed new RAM, and it's not all showing up in the system profiler.
    Before the upgrade I had:
    Riser A
    - 1GB
    - 0
    - 0
    - 0
    Riser B
    - 1GB
    - 0
    - 0
    - 0
    After the upgrade I had:
    Riser A
    - 4GB
    - 4GB
    - 0
    - 0
    Riser B
    - 1GB
    - 1GB
    - 0
    - 0
    But the system profiler only showed 4GB in one DIMM on Riser A, and nothing in Riser B. I switched the 1GB and 4GB units around, and then the Profiler only showed 1GB on Riser A, and still nothing on Riser B.
    I switched back once more, having the two 4GB units on Riser A and the two 1GM units on Riser B. System Profiler now shows the two 4GB units, but still nothing from Riser B.
    Are there any ideas out there? Is it safe to have only two units showing up both on the same riser?
    Thanks for any help.

    Mac Pro memory arrangement photos
    Mac Pro Memory Configuration
    Memory Tests- "2008" Mac Pro
    Ram should be installed minimally in matched pairs and optimally in matched quads.  This means the memory modules are the same size and specifications.  They should also be equipped with the Apple-certified style of heat sink.
    I'm not sure if you have the memory configured correctly. Check above links to verify.

  • HELP! Ram not recognised

    I have a similar problem to the 1 GB Problem RAM. I just bought my Powerbook G4 about a week ago, and it came with 512 MB of RAM. It worked just fine until I installed OS X 10.4.2. After this, the computer started displaying only 256 RAM and showing an error message at the hardware diagnosis: DIMM1/J31 Failed. I dont know what to do, it used to work fine but it seems something happened after the update. I have downgraded back to 10.4, but it didnt help. What could be going on here?

    That's very interesting. Ironically, I just got off the phone with my service provider after taking in a 2.0 DP PM that ran for less than 24 hours with the same symptoms as yours. Except my RAM read as half the amount they really were (ei: 256 were reading as 128, 512 as 256), then the upgraded 512 sticks failed, then the factory RAM failed and it just altogether died.
    The techie reinstalled the factory RAM and it suddenly started working again, and reading the RAM correctly. That said, he still thinks it's a failing logic board, not the RAM. This sounds all too much like your PB, Guillermo!
    I think the installation of Tiger is nothing more than a coincidence. Print off and take this thread with you as proof to your service people and ask for a new logic board to be installed. It may take a little longer to get your PB back, but at least the problem has been taken care of.
    Good luck!

  • Upgraded storage not showing up

    iPhone 4S. I purchased/upgraded iCloud storage to 20GB. However, the new storage is not showing up. What do I do?

    Hi mayyou,
    The resource below explains how to use iCloud Drive and how to manage your iCloud storage.  If you need additional support regarding your iCloud account purchased storage, there is a link to the iCloud Support team below:

    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201104
    How much storage do I have in iCloud Drive and how do I get more?
    When you sign up for iCloud, you get 5 GB of free storage. Your iCloud storage is used for iCloud Backup, iCloud Drive, iCloud Photo Library, iCloud Mail (your @icloud.com email account), and data from apps that use iCloud. Your purchased music, apps, books, TV shows, and My Photo Stream don't count against your 5 GB of free storage.

  • HT5312 I need help it's not showing me how send the security password to my email

    I've been trying to buy this game and it says it's my first time purchasing this item on this phone and I forgot the security password and it's not showing me how to send it to my weak I need help please and thank you.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • HELP! iPad not showing up when plugged in

    Hi, I am getting really frustrated because my iPad first gen does not show up at all when plugged into my windows 8 laptop. There is no icon in the bottom right corner, no sound, nothing in my computer or iTunes. I've updated my iTunes and restarted everything, switched USB ports and cords... but the laptop is just not recognizing it. The laptop is new(I haven't synced the iPad to it before), but I have authorized it and there were no problems with my iPhone. I really need to connect my iPad to iTunes to update it, as the system is old and many apps are no longer supported. If anyone could help me I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

  • Itunes upgrade does not show albums

    I just upgraded to itunes 11.0.1.12 - none of previous albums or songs are showing up.
    The only thing showing is my son's voice memos.  Furthermore, the ipod is not showing
    up as a device.

    I am using the built in XML DB HTTLP listener, so I uploaded the images to the database using the 'apxldimg' script. These uploaded successfully, I did not receive any errors. Is this something that is contained in an image?
    Thanks,

  • Ram not showing up after resetting nvram

    I have a 3rd party battery that was not working properly. The company told me to reset my nvram. Since doing that, one of my memory chips is not showing up. It says "slot empty" and there is no memory there.
    I read another post on here that said after updating to 10.4.9, there 3rd party memory disappeared as well. I updated around the same time that I reset the nvram.
    I also tried resetting the pram.
    I have a 15" aluminum powerbook G4 with os 10.4.9
    Thanks for the advice.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    Sorry to hear your memory disappeared. There's no such thing as third party memory - Apple does not manufacture it's own memory, rather it uses memory from company's like Samsung and others.
    If it's the lower slot, it could be coincidental, however, there have been issues with the lower slot failing, and Apple has an extended warranty repair program to address it in a narrow range of Powerbooks. Info at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303173

  • HELP (Apple TV not showing up in Devices list)

    Has anyone resolved this issues. Like many others, i have things set up perfectly. My itunes stream, but when I go back to sync photos,etc. there is no Apple TV in the "Devices" list (as there is no devices list).
    HEEEEEEELP

    AppleTV does not show up in my Devices list unless there is a code on the screen of the AppleTV. It's not the way I understand it's supposed to work, and apparently not the way everyone's works, but it's a reasonable workaround for me. I think this is a bug in the software that's interacting with something else on my network or a QC problem with some hardware component, because it doesn't happen to every AppleTV.

  • Help with Datatip Not showing on 2 different charts at the same time

    What's up guys?  I am building a massive application and came across an issue. I was able to create a smaller flex application that recreate the problem. Basically its about the datatip. Let's say you have a Main application with tab navigation that calls 2 different modules:  Module A, and Module B. Module A has a piechart with datatip enabled. Module B has a linechart with datatip also enabled. For some reason the piechart datatip are showing while the linechart datatip are not showing on mouse over (only on click). Any idea what's going on or how to fix it so that both charts show their datatip on mouse over? -Thank you

  • I need help troubleshooting computers not showing up on network

    seriously, everything was fine until xmas eve. Now I can't see the computers on the network on a mac or a pc.
    Now, when I go to Start/My Network places on a pc the share points do not show up.
    Also when I go View Workgroup Computers - it returns an error. In the error it mentions permissions. I've propogated permission, restarted SMB services and restarted twice.
    OSX 10.5.1, Xserve, standalone server, SMB services are running, one username and password for everyone with r/w permission, even guests access is turned on, ...
    AT&T Netopia dsl modem (bridged mode), Linksys wireless router with ip's assigned to all computers, to a switch that routes to users and two more switches.
    note - I can see a few macs on Mac OSX Tiger and Leopard but nothing on the pc's. I can, however, see a unix sever that's on the network by typing \\ServerName in an explore address bar. And at one time I could type in \\Xserve on both macs and pc's but no longer.
    Thanks,
    ctrent

    Any relationship to what works and what doesn't?
    no
    Could there be a bad cable or bad switch port?
    I've thought about that - checked and rechecked
    Do you know how to see if there are two momputers with the same ip connected to a network?
    Tried swapping a working and a non-working box to see if it's the connection that's stuffed?
    no
    but I just did
    I tested an imac using the same connection. It was able to browse the entire network.
    I noticed that MacBookPro had tld-internal.com in the Search Domains entry box.
    I entered TLDMacserver.com as the search domain and was able to browse the server share points and read and write. (hoorah!)
    I think that this is where the problem is - Is there a domain that needs to be set up or is already setup? I don't know of a setting on pc's to Search Domains - is this just a mac thing?
    Now, seeing the other computers is the issue. I can only browse 4 macs and the Xserver on a mac but nothing on the pc's.
    Is there something in the Advanced TCP/IP Settings that I should know about?
    My server name on the left panel in Server Admin is TLDMacserver-com.local.
    Under Settings/Network the computer name is TLDMacserver-com
    Computer Name - TLDMacserver.com
    Local Hostname TELDMacserver-com
    Network Interfaces: Ethernet 1
    IPv4
    192.168.0.32
    DNS Name: TLDMacserver-com.local
    Anything interesting in the SMB-related server log files on the Mac OS X Server box?I'm not really sure what to look for.
    That's one of those cases where digging through the logs looks for oddities.
    I would probably have as much luck digging for gold.
    Also, probably related to my problem - my logmein.com remote conrol no longer works. I tried deleting the machine from my list and reinstalling Logmein on the server, but it won't install.
    It says:
    Istaller is damged
    Installer is unable to open the package.
    This is likely due to install framework's runner executable not having he proper ownersip &/or persmissions.
    Definitely seems that something got stomped on. Mayhap the disk?
    What's the state of your data archives?
    for those machines that can browse it's working fine.
    Your backups current?
    yes. A firewire drive that's swapped out. They both are backing up right.
    Next step would be to boot the installer DVD and verify the disk and verify the disk protections.
    it's just a download file from LogMeIn.com
    As soon as it downloads that error pops up and when I manually try to run the .pkg the error occurs.
    Up until now I've been able to log in just fine from anywhere.

  • Track info not showing up in Vista

    When I rip music with Nokia Music 1.3 the track info shows up nicely in the program. But when I head over to the location where the music is stored on my hard drive(using Vista) there is no info at all on the tracks in theVista explorer program. Is it supposed to be like that?
    Also is there a way of not putting all the tracks in the same folder on the hard drive when you rip cd's? It would be nice to be able to sort it in subfolders like this "music folder/artist/album" automatically. Atm it just puts it in a folder called "others" in my music folder.
    Thanks a lot

  • New ram not showing up in MacPro 1,1

    I bought new ram for an old MacPro 1,1 and only the old ram shows up. I know the new ram works as I can start my computer with each individual stick but they wont work together. Any idea? I can move my old 512chips to any slot and it works so I’ve ruled out bad slots. The new ram chips work but only one shows up. I have switched them out too and both work so Ihave know idea what’s going on. Hope someone can help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Brand A and B not working together or even same but from different batches, can happen.
    Each SET will work fine, you can't do "individually".
    I've seen people use A1:B1 and A3:B3 which is not supported, yet has worked.
    Or all RAM on top Riser.
    As far as I know the Risers are interchangeable, there is no "A" and "B" other than "top" and "bottom" and some have had to do an advance exchange and get a new Riser sent out under AppleCare.
    Get out your OEM 10.4.7 discs and one of them has Apple Hardware Test, use "command-D" with the DVD in the tray.
    No, you don't need a battery.
    It just sounds like a defective set. You bought OWC, Crucial, Kingston, Mac Pro certified (and large RAM heatsinks) then just contact seller and have them send them back as DOA.
