How do i add memory to my imac?

I plan on buying 1gb of Ram to add to my iMAC, however i don't see any spot on the system where the RAM card would fit in. The last thing I want to do is buy the memory and have no idea how to apply it so can anyone tell me like a step by step procedure to adding memory.
Also i'm a little thrown off by the prices of the memory.
One website tells me 1gb of Ram will cost me 300 bucks... and another tells me it will only cost about 100... can anyone explain that as well?

You get what you pay for. IMO, quality RAM is well worth the $$$$ in terms of reliable performance. Seconding the previous poster, purchase the RAM from a reputable firm who carry Apple certified chips.
I purchase my RAM from MacRam Direct. Been a customer of theirs since 1999. Very dependable service and product.

How can i add memory to my mid 2007 IMAC

how can i add memory to my IMAC

You can have up to 6GB of memory for that model.
Many people on these forums speak well of the following memory suppliers.
In North America contact OWC …        Upgrade Apple iMac Memory
In Europe contact Crucial.com …       RAM Memory Upgrade
Both companies have facilities to guide you and will recommend the correct memory package to meet whatever needs you describe to them.
There may be benefits buying from whichever company has a branch in your own geographical location insofar as Shipping charges, Local sales taxes and Exchange rates. Check out the basic memory costs and do your sums.

How do I add memory to a MacBook Pro?

How do I add memory to my MacBook Pro?

You have to open the bottom cover of the MBP to get to the memory slots. There are about 10 very small screws around the perimeter, some of which are longer than others so you have to be very careful not to mix them up when you take the cover off. You will need a very small phillips-head screwdriver (small jewelers size). Once you have removed the screws you may have to gently pry the cover off (there is some sticky stuff inside). You will then see the RAM slots more or less in the middle of the computer.
The booklet that came with your MBP has instructions about how to insert/remove the RAM SODIMMs ... there is a plastic tab on each side of the SODIMMs that you push outward and the RAM will pop up slightly ... you can then gently pull it out. Note there is a slot cut in the pin edge of the SODIMMs ... remember it's orientation so you put the new RAM in the same way. It only goes in one way.
It's wise to use the crucial.com Memory Advisor first so you get the exact kind & amount of RAM that is compatible with your MBP.

You either sync the photos with iTunes or upload them to the iPad with Photo Stream.

In iTunes, select your device and click Photos at the top of the window.
Select “Sync Photos from” and select the photos you want to sync to your device.On a Mac with photos in an iPhoto or Aperture library, selecting an album or event organizes the photos as an album or event in iPhoto. You can sync your entire library or select specific albums and events.On a Windows computer, selecting a folder organizes the photos as an album in iPhoto.

How do you add more memory to a macbook circa 2007

how do you add memory to a macbook mid-2007?

>If you have a Mid 2007 MacBook, that can use up to 3GB RAM.
Since that model can use an odd number RAM capacity upgrade, with
a total of 3GB between two memory slot locations, you could put one
piece of RAM of 1-GB in a slot, and in the other, a 2-GB RAM chip...
Maximum Memory:    3.0 GB (Actual) 2.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots:    2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
•MacBook: How to remove or install memory
>If you have a Late 2007 MacBook, that can use up to 6GB RAM:
Maximum Memory:    6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots:    2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
Recommendations have been to check the spec and model computer
against the on-site parts suggestions for the computer model identifier
at OWC macsales.com, or check into Crucial.com for specific match
based on their information. OWC tends to be an easier way if you know
the MacBook model identifier, and if yours actually is the Mid-2007 vs
another different one. The Late-2007 can use up to 6GB RAM.
•The identifiers for Mid-2007 MacBook 13-inch:
Introduced    May 2007
Discontinued    November 2007
Model Identifier    MacBook2,1
Model Number    A1181
EMC    2139
Order Number    MB061LL/A (White), MB062LL/A (White), MB063LL/A (Black)

Order Number    MB061LL/B (White), MB062LL/B (White), MB063LL/B (Black)

Can you add memory to iMac 6.1?

Can you add memory to an iMac 6.1 (currently has 1 GB) and an MacBook Air (currently has 2GB) - 11 inch late 2010?

Yes,
Your year and model iMac can take 4 GBs max., but that model will only recognize only about 3.2-3.4 GBs of the total 4 GBs.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).

Add memory to a officejet 8620 all in one

I have an office jet pro 8620 all in one printer..... how do I add memory to it. I am getting fax memory full error messages when I try to send more than a 20 page fax.
Thank you.

Hi,
You cannot add a memory to the device, it include a standard size of memory.
First clear the fax log as following, then try sending the fax again:
1. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
2. Touch Fax Setup, and then touch Fax Tools.
3. Touch Clear Fax Log.
Now try sending the fax and check for any difference.
If the same persists click the Fax option and ensure the resolution being set as "Standard".

How do I add more memory to my Imac, I only have 1GB of memory and need 2GB to download Yosemite!

How do I add more memory to my Imac, I only have 1GB of memory and need 2GB to download Yosemite?

Janet,
This is why the question rkaufmann87 asked about your model is so important:
[click chart to enlarge if needed]
The list covers the early iMacs with Intel processors that shipped with either OS 10.4 or 10.5 and have only two RAM slots. As you can see, some have limits to what version of OSX you can install. If the step rkaufmann requests does not narrow down your model, you can do one more thing.
While the "About this Mac" window is open, click the "More Info..." button at the bottom of that window to get this (assuming you are really running OS 10.5.8 as shown in your profile):
The code I've indicated with the red arrow corresponds to the codes in the second column on the chart. Post the code your computer reports--again don't post a serial number.
If your iMac shipped with only 1GB RAM, I fear it is one of the earliest models that cannot be upgraded all the way to Yosemite.
