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.

HT1423 How do I add more memory to my imac 5.1. Lion is requiring 2gb of memory and it only comes with 1 gb of memory

I already have snow leopard.

Hello, Sadly you have to pull those & install bigger ones.

And go for at least the 3 or 4 GB kit, & that while satisfying the minimum, isn't really enough for 10.6.x

How can I add more memory to my iPad?

How can I add more memory to my iPad?

Memory refers to RAM, and can't be increased.
I asume you mean storege space (like 16GB, 32GB, etc). It also can't be increased.
There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
Another option:
Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

How can I add more memory to my iPod touch

How can I add more memory to my iPod touch?

You are not able to add memory to a iPod Touch.
The only way to get more memory is to buy one with a larger capacity.

How do I add more Memory to the 2 open slots in my iMac - it is 4GB now

How do I add more Memory to the 2 open slots in my iMac ??? It is 4GB now and I get the spinning beach ball often when several Apps are running.
Does the Apple Store sell and install???
Please advise if you have upgraded your iMac memory

Go to a website such as OWC or Crucial's, determine which type of RAM your computer needs, and buy it from that site. They provide installation instructions on the site.

We have a 32GB IPad 4. how do we add more memory?

We have an Ipad 4 with 32gb. When downloading it tells us our memory is full. How can we add more memory?

I think some needed clarification is in order.
With iDevices, the storage amount ( 16, 32, 64, 128 GBs) is a fixed amount.
The only way to obtain more storage on an iDevice is to sell your current iDevice and purchase a larger storage version.
If you want to store your iPad data (like music, movies and photos) offline and off your iDevice, you can move the data onto wireless WiFi hard drives from Seagate, Western Digital and LaCie. The data can be access by the iDevice over WiFi as these wireless hard drives generate their own WiFi signal and the data from these style drives can stream the data from the drive to the iPad.

How do I add more memory to my macbook

I have a Macbook Pro Mid 2009 (unibody) it looks like it only had around 130 gb..how do I add more and how much does it cost.

I'm surprised, almost shocked that Clint didn't start gushing about all the wonders of a modern SSD; he's quite crazy about them.
Well, yeah... but right now I'm gushing over my new LaCie 4TB 2big Thunderbolt RAID with two 7200 rpm drives. I 'un'-RAIDed it and formatted as JOBD, so I've two new 2TB drives. Right now I'm copying one of my Time Machine backups from an 'old' 2TB FW800 - it's going surprisingly fast. Instead of using Pondoni's Finder copy method, I chose block copy in Carbon Copy Cloner. Waiting to see how that turns out - it should be finished in another 2 hours...
But now if the OP asked about SSDs, you know that I'd be ready to gush!

How do I add more GB to my iMac?

I'm hoping this is the right place to put this (I'm a bit inexperienced in the whole hardware-software department, so really don't know what pertains to what). I've got an iMac which I got back in 2008, and am looking to update it to Mountain Lion. However, that apparently requires 2 GB, and it's told me I haven't got enough. So, question is, how do I add more GB so that I can actually update it to Mac OS X Mountain Lion? It's got Snow Leopard at the moment (10.6.8).
Here're some of my computer details:
Model Name - iMac
Identifier - iMac 7, 1
Processor - Intel Core 2 Duo
Speed - 2.4 GHz
L2 Cache - 4 MB
Memory - 1 GB
Thanks all.

Your model supports:
Maximum Memory
6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
Two - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMMs
To upgrade you will need to purchase two new memory modules to replace the ones you now have installed. You can purchase memory at OWC or DataMem. OWC also has video tutorials on how to install memory in most Macs.

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

>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.

How do I add more memory to integrated video graphics on Satellite L30

I want to allocate more memory to my video graphics.
How do I do this?
I'm using Vista Home OS.
Many thanks.

My laptop model is SL30 (PSL33) and I'd assumed it was shared graphics.
I've maxed the RAM to 2GB, but since upgrading to Windows 7, I keep getting video graphics error messages for games I could play before in Vista.
Toshiba doesn't seem to have an updated graphics driver for Windows 7 yet, and I'm guessing this is the problem.
Does integrated graphics simply use all the RAM you have available or do you have to manually increase it?

How do I add more memory to my internet settings on a Mac G4?

Imac Mac OS 9.2.x
Recently, I have been getting an error message when going to certain internet sites (for instance, the Jamiroquai.com site) and the message states "there is not enough memory to open "Shockwave" adding additional memory to the internet may help."
How do I go about this? Dumb question I know, but I am not very computer savvy and would appreciate any help.

Hi, Hobo -
It's easy to do. This Apple KBase article describes the procedure -
Article #18278 - Assigning More Memory to an Application
Adding 20 or 30 thousand to a browser's original Preferred amount is not excessive; if you have sufficient RAM to support it, more is better.
Repeating some info from the article -
• The program must be Quit before you can change the allocation.
• The Get Info must be done on the icon of the program itself, not on an alias to it nor on the icon of the folder it is in.
If you use an alias (such as one on the desktop) to run the browser, a quick way to get to the program itself is to select the alias (click on it once), then press Command-R (or choose 'Show Original' from the File menu). The folder containing the program will open directly (no matter how deeply it may be buried) and the program will be highlighted, ready to do a Get Info on it.

How do i install more memory on my imac

After 5 years of owning our wonderful iMac desktop, we needed to purchase more memory. I ordered from crucial.com, as recommended by one of the techs in our nearby retail store. The website they have on the packaging to help with installation says "not found". ouch. Has anyone had experience with installing new memory?

As long as you have your memory cards pulled
As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.
Here is a link to a Widget to monitor your temps and other operations:

How do I add more memory to my MacBook Pro?

I have 320 GB but it's not nearly enough and, ideally, I'd like to add another 500GB.
Is that possible, how do i do it, and what are the risks?
I mentioned it in passing when I was in the Apple Genius Bar on something else and they suggested they might help (which surprised me, as I presumed Apple wouldn't necessarily endorse doing it).
Thank you.

I have a number of external hard drives but I carry my Mac with my quite a lot so I want a bigger hard drive within the computer. Any UK users recommend somewhere to buy from and what brand?
Thanks
