How do I install additional memory on my x100e laptop

Hello everyone,
I am a new user to this forum and searched the topics but could not find the answer.
I recently purchased a 100e with 1GB memory. I have purchased 4GB of memory to upgrade the laptop. I have googled how to install the memory, but, have not found the answer (but, did find this forum!).
I have turned the laptop off, removed the battery, removed the screws and back cover. But, when I try to insert the new memory into the slot, it is very tight and does not seem to fit. I do not want to force it. FYI, I have purchased the G.Skill PC2-6400 SO-DIMM which I was told is the right memory for this laptop.
Can someone please help or point me to a video on how to install the memory?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!

How do i install more memory in my macbook air? it only has 4GB

How can i install more memory in my macbook air? it has 4GB only and it keeps telling me my start up disk is full.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
In the case of the MacBook Pro with Retina display and the MacBook Air, memory is soldered into the logic board, so you can't add more memory after buying the MacBook.
However, memory isn't your problem. One thing is the memory and another thing is the hard drive, and you are running out of space in the hard drive, not in memory.
To fix this, just delete files that you don't need, or move them to an external drive, in order to make free space on your MacBook

HP 520-1030 Touchsmart - Installing additional Memory

I'm trying to install additional memory on my HP Touchsmart. I was told when purchasing this PC that I could simply take the back off and put in an additional 4GB stick of DDR3 RAM as this model has 2 slots, only 1 of which is currently used? I can't even see where the memory goes!
Can anyone help please?
Thanks,

Problem Installing Additional Memory -- Older G4 15"

I am having a problem installing additional memory this computer:
Machine Name: Powerbook G4 15"
Machine Model: Powerbook 5,2
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 256 MB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.7.1f1
Serial Number: V734***RY
The symptoms are the same as those described here:

Any suggestions?

tguild,
Our PB's are sensitive to the memory used - cheap memory typically doesn't work, although the raw specs, PC2700 DDR SDRAM, may meet Apple's published specs. Three brands that seem to consistently work in our PB's are Crucial, Kingston, and Samsung (which is used by Apple as factory fill). Both Crucial and Kingston have memory selectors on their site, so you get the correct RAM (Crucials fitment guarantee requires you use their memory selector).
Crucial is available from www.crucial.com, Kingston from www.kingston.com (choose specials/promotions/25% off notebook memory for a reduced price), and one source for Samsung chips is OWC at www.macsales.com.
So, make sure you've got quality memory. Your PB serial number is outside the range covered by the Apple repair program. I would make sure that with quality memory, it's doing what you want it to do before shipping it off for repair. Some with the lower socket issue have chosen to use one RAM strip in the upper slot, and not pay for repair. I've seen estimates of $350 and up to repair it for those not covered by the repair program, and some have lucked out by having their local Apple store fix it, even though it's outside the serial number range.
You only have 256mb today - OS X really likes more memory, so if you can upgrade to at least 512mb, or even 1gb, you'll be happier with the performance.

How can I purchase and install additional memory in my powerbook G4?

I've got to install more memory into my powerbook G4 (currently just 256 MB of DDR SDRAM, only 3.2 GB of free disk space and 1.5 Ghz PowerPC G4 processor). Can someone point me toward a supplier of the memory cards I need, as well as a tutorial for how to do a self install? I don't want to sink $$$ at the mac store on such an aging machine, but I want to keep her running as long as possible. How high can I go with the memory on this machine given its restraints?
While I'm at it, is there anyway to amplify or boost the wireless signal receiver? My machine has almost zero bars of internet connectivity in places where other machines have 4 bars.
Thanks! =O)

Did you physcally look at the RAM slots to confirrn two modules are installed? Do that before proceeding. It's very important--for some reason yours may have been ordered with only 256MB. Opening the RAM slot cover is a user-doable/approved operation
There was a repair extension program for the 15-inchers' RAM slot problem, but it's now long-expired. The next step is only if you physically can see two modules: If you feel that, as the original owner, this was not properly communicated to you, you could make a cool-headed and document-backed plea to Apple Customer Relations (1-800-767-2775 in North America).
"Is a logic board the same thing as a motherboard.. "
For all practical purposes, yes. Macs have logic boards; PC's have motherboards in common terminology. They are the mounting point and connectivity path for the processor and most other internal components. Presumably, the "mother" part was derived from epithets flamed forth by disgruntled PC users.
BeebleBrox has already linked one RAM vendor I use, Other World Computing. The other is Data Memory Systems:
Apple PowerBook G4 1.5GHz 15" Screen (200 Pin PC2700 DDR SODIMMs)
I've ordered all my Mac RAM from only these two vendors for close to a decade and am very happy with both.
256MB RAM with OS 10.4.11 is like saying someone has an IQ of 10 but it takes 12 to grunt. My older PBG4 at 1Ghz also has 10.4.11 but 1G RAM. It does fine. A lack of RAM makes the Virtual Memory system spend a lot of time writing data to the hard drive when there is no more RAM available. The slowness this VM operation induces gets worse as the free space on the HD grows smaller as you add files and programs.
I don't think low RAM or a bad RAM slot would cause the wireless connection issues. The antenna is in the display frame as I recall. There are a lot of reports of a negative change in ability to pick up wireless networks being traced to other wireless devices in the area. See what's been added to the house/office that is also wireless.
What I don't know is where you are. I answered with the potentially flawed assumption that you are in North America. OWC ships internationally, but I don't believe DMS ships outside N. America without making you jump through hoops and hedgerows. Post your geographic locations in your profile info and it will make it easier for people to respond to the common "where can I get" questions.
This grew long, but what you need to do before anything else is open the RAM cover and count modules (They are "stacked" so one is covered by the other but should be visible). As I now know your screen size, I can link the instructions for doing so:

How do I install more memory to my macbook air

Does anyone know how to install more memory to my 2012 macbok air?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you are referring to RAM, you cannot. RAM is soldered onto the logic board.
If you are referring to the hard drive (or flash storage), you can replace it for a bigger one, but I do not recommend you to do it. Instead, buy an external drive, which is cheaper, does not void the warranty and it can be bigger than a new internal drive

How do I install additional content for Illustrator

I'm having a similar issue. I successfully installed the CS 6 Suite from the .exe and .7z file pair, but there are two additional files, Illustrator_16_Content_LS16.exe and InDesignFamily_8_Content_ALL.exe, that were part of the download package from adobe.com. Aftre the CS6 install, I moved on to these two files. They extracted their contents to the Deskop into Illustrator and InDesign folders, respectively, and then nothing further happened. There is no Setup.exe in either folder, so I'm wondering if I'm supposed to move the contents of each to the appropriate program folder in Program Files. Any ideas on I should proceed? Were the 2 .exe files silently picked up by the CS 6 Suite install and the extracted folder contents are already installed appropriately?

Moving this discussion to the Illustrator forum. You may also want to post your inquiry to the InDesign forum - http://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign/indesign_general for how to utilize the additional content available for that program.

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.

How do I install additional locals after installation of Solaris 10?

Hi,
I installed Solaris 10 withouth choosing to add Norwegian locale. I really don`t care for Norwegian messages, but it seems that X will not let me choose norwegian keyboard layout if I don`t install the Norwegian locale. My question is: How do I install the Norwegian locale after initial installation?
locale -a gives me:
C
POSIX
iso_8859_1
And I guess I need no_NO.

If you are using a graphics terminal you may want to try using the "prodreg" utility, as root?, to add en_US support. It appears to involve numerous packages, at least for 64 bit support.
Good luck,
John
