How do I go about buying more memory?

I need more memory to update my phone and iPad. How do I go about that?

The iPhone and iPad memory and storage cannot be changed after manufacture.  You have to remove content from the devices, things such as videos and photos and music, that take a lot of storage space and save them to a computer to free up storage space.

  • How to I go about getting more memory for my computor?

    My mac keeps telling me that i have no memory left on my disk drive or something like that. I was wondering what would ultimatley help solve this probelm?

    Removing files you no longer need from your personal data or installing a larger hard drive.
    Sometimes these errors may occur even though the drive is not full. These are caused by some sort of corruption on the drive, usually to the directory structure. Try repairing your drive:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Also, select the drive icon on your Desktop then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Near the top will be information on the drive's capacity, amount of space used, and space available. If you have space available that's less than 10 GBs, then your drive is too full. Removing any of your personal files you no longer need will help to free up some space. If you have third-party applications installed you don't use then you can delete them as well. If you still have the Trial versions of iWorks, Microsoft Office, and Quicken that you don't use then you can also remove them.
    Ultimately, however, the only way to get a permanent increase in storage space is to install a bigger hard drive.

  • I use my mac book to dj. however, i tend to get the beach ball alot. is this due to lack of memory or is it something else. ive been thinking about getting more memory but i am not sure what the issue is

    I use my mac book to dj. however, i tend to get the beach ball alot. is this due to lack of memory or is it something else. ive been thinking about getting more memory but i am not sure what the issue is...i would like some advice before i go and buy more memory if it is not needed... i also do not keep my music on my lap top

    Okay, so we've eliminated the lack of space since you have plenty.
    See the screenshot from my Mac here:
    Page ins and page outs - post those (or just post the same type of screenshot). If you have a lot of those, that means that your machine needs to keep swapping RAM around to make the best of what is available which can result in slow responses.
    Also post the total amount of RAM you have (in my case, I have 12 GB)
    You free RAM of 221 MB is very, very low - I'm guessing you only have a total of 2 GB. If that is the case, I would absolutely max out the machine (if you don't know how much RAM you can put in, post your model number here so we can help with that).

  • How to get information about limitation Internal Memory on device

    hallo ..
    have some question here, so please some person able to answer my questions 
    1. How to get Information about limitation internal memory on device 
    2. is possible to improve internal memory on Blackberry ( move apps on external memory )
    3. any tools to get internal memory activity ?
    thanks for this people who joins here, hope we can share more information about blackberry .. 

    In addition...
    There are three types of potential memory on a BB: 1) Application Memory, 2) Device Memory, and 3) Media/SD Card Memory.
    Application Memory -- This is the most crucial; it is the protected (not user accessible), dedicated, and fixed (in size) space that is available as the destination for the installation of applications (plus some application storage, overhead and such). You cannot touch AppMemory. You cannot improve the maximum AppMemory that your BB has. It is what it is. Applications can only install here...there is no option.
    Device Memory -- This is space on your BB that you can touch to store files, pictures, media, etc. Typically, it is not terribly large, but it is available to you.
    SD/Media Card Memory-- This is what it says...your SD card, for you to store files, media, pictures, etc. It can be as large as your BB OS can support...see this KB:
    KB05461MicroSD card sizes supported by the BlackBerry device software
    On some devices/OS levels, you can only see "File Free" (Options > Status), which I think is equivalent to AppMemory. On other devices, you can see all three memory usage levels (Options > Memory). Here are some guidelines to use:
    KB02843What is the Low Memory Manager feature on the BlackBerry smartphone
    KB14320How to maximize free space and battery power on the BlackBerry smartphone
    KB14213Call logs, SMS text messages, and email messages are deleted from the BlackBerry smartphone
    Lastly, it is always important to properly close applications when you are done with them. Using the Back or the Red key will not do this -- those leave it to the app to decide what to do...and some will leave themselves resident in memory, consuming resources on your BB, slowing the overall performance. Rather, to close an app, press and select "Close" or "Exit"...that will force the application to be closed, freeing up for your new use the resources it was consuming. Some apps will always remain running (typically -- BBMessenger, Browser, Homescreen, Phone, and Messages)...but, you should still close them properly - especially the Browser...if it is left on an active web page, it will not only consume extra resources but battery power as well.
    Further, anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure. Some have taken to doing this on a regular basis as a preventive measure...some as frequently as once per day. Others have obtained the QuickPull app to automate a simulated Batt-Pull.
    Good luck!

  • Latest Software of iOS 7.0.3 Wont install even when I have deleted all  applications.I don't want to buy more memory

    Latest Software of iOS 7.0.3 Wont install even when I have deleted all  applications.I don't want to buy more memory as I have already done.

    What model iPad and what iOS version is it currently running?
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

  • I have ordered OS X 10.6.  I have 1 GB of memory.  Will I need to buy more memory?

    I have ordered OSx 10.6.  I have 1 GB of memory.  Will I need to buy more memory?

    If you like to work with photos, graphics, or videos at all, then 2 GB would be much better; I actually had 3 GB installed when I was running Snow Leopard (that was the maximum for my iMac). The minimum requirements published are exactly that: a minimum. For instance, for Mountain Lion, it says 2 GB; unless you do nothing but email and web browsing, 4 GB is a much more realistic minimum.
    So, if your computer model can handle 2 GB, go for it.

  • Buying more memory for T530

    I would like to purchase more memory for my T530. Someone at IBM once told me they find that certain memory works better with the T530 than others and suggested a particular brand. Does anyone know what that is? thanks

    I have owned several Thinkpads over the years and always buy Crucial RAM whenever I needed to upgrade the RAM.
    Use the Crucial Memory tool to find the compatible modules.

  • Without purchasing a new ipod, can I buy more memory

  • Can i buy more memory

    Can I get more memory for my ipod touch 4g.

    Hi,
    All Apple products are closed (unopenable) so they cannot be opened, and that means you can't put any new items inside.
    Hope this helps!

  • Should I buy more memory?

    I am frequently setting with almost zero free memory, and 750-1GB of inactive memory.
    Sometimes I max out the memory entirely (zero free, very low inactive), but that is much rarer.
    Will getting more memory do me any good? My machine runs like a dog when I have no free memory, even if there's plenty of inactive memory.

    I am definitely aware that Safari is a memory hog, and I close it frequently to clear it out.
    I've used iFreeMem before, but it seems like it has slowed my system down more than speeding it up.. I get a lot of beachballs and UI lag after using it.
    Anyway, the weirdest part of all this, is the behavior exhibited by this example:
    I have zero free memory, and 1GB of inactive memory.
    I shut down several applications to free up around 1.5GB total of inactive and free memory.
    I start up VMWare which immediately wires/activates 1GB of memory.
    I shut down VMWare, and it shows no used memory (other than inactive, of course).
    I am now back to having 245MB of free memory and 1.21GB inactive.
    It seems like closing out my applications doesn't free memory for other applications to use. As a result, resuming virtual machines can be heinously slow, because it has to free every ounce of memory that it needs to resume.
    Will more memory solve this, or will OS X just eat all that up as inactive too?

  • Thinking about adding more memory, Looking for suggestions

    I have the late model (2008) 13 inch MacBook, alum body, currently have 2GB looking to upgrade to another 2GB or adding 4 to get up to 6GB. Is this possible with my MacBook? If so, can I buy it from Apple or are there other reputable retailers to purchase from? How easy is it to install myself?
    Thanks

    Hi El Kapitan,
    Your MacBook supports a maximum of 6GB of RAM, although Apple only officially supports 4GB of RAM. So should you decide to upgrade to the 6GB option understand that if you require support from Apple (hardware or software) then you may run into some resistance.
    Apple's RAM is more expensive then places like crucial.com or 4allmemory.com or macsales.com but you'll find a pretty 50/50 decision on what users prefer. I've gone the route of both (using all three of those above URLs) and I've always had a good experience. On the other hand, times where I've purchase the Apple RAM has always been just as positive with the additional peace of mind (dealing directly with Apple vs. 3rd party & Apple).
    Installation is a little bit trickier (than say the white/black plastic MacBook) but nothing that I'd define as difficult. Here's the URL with an explanation - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1651

  • Want to buy more memory

    Does anyone have any experience buying memory from www.oempcworld.com?
    http://www.oempcworld.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=1.0G-P C3200
    I am thinking about putting in 2 gb and buying a matched pair. The price is right. But what about the quality?

    Do they guarantee compatibility with the iMac G5?
    If not you're taking a gamble, the iMac is the most finicky Apple desktop about RAM compatibilty.
    I recommend that you stick with a reputable seller who tests and guarantes compatibility with your model of Mac, offers a lifetime warranty and a no-cost return if it doesn't work.
    In the USA I like Data Memory Systems - your RAM is US$230 for the pair here: http://www.datamem.com/viewcat.aspQ_C_E1158

  • Where do you buy more memory for a mac from??

    I know its possible to buy it. but can you buy it from apple? or from an outside company

    Hey Lara,
    You need two DDR2 PC2-5300 667MHz DIMMs. I would also recommend looking at Other World Computing. (They are very Mac friendly!)
