How do you add RAM to a Macbook 2.1

I have a Macbook 2.1 thats about a 2006 model. It's running MAC OS X 10.5.8 and has 512mb of memory 667 MHz DDR2 SD Ram. I want to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 but it says that I require at least 1GB of RAM.
Can anyone tell me how to do this, what i need to buy? I recently bought a new ipod nano and it won't work because i cannot update to the next level of itunes.
I'm not that computer savvy, so please keep it simple.
Thank you. TDM.

You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.

OWC tests have found that there is a slight speed increase with having two 2gb sticks in rather than one 1gb and one 2gb. Your model is in the gray lines at the bottom of the graph. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/
These are good online stores for Mac compatible RAM

Can you add RAM to 2GB MacBook Air after purchase?

I'm thinking of getting a Macbook Air. Money is tight and 2GB RAM is cheaper than 4GB. If you purchase a 2GB MacBook Air, can you later add more RAM?

Depending on what you are planning to use the system for, adding more RAM may not be an issue. The current 11" entry-level MBA is a capable system which would only really begin to bog down if you were intent on running a number of applications at the same time. While 2Gb RAM is really the minimum for running Lion efficiently, the use of an SSD rather than traditional hard drive actually helps keep performance levels up, even when the system has to use virtual memory.
To my mind, for the average user, the 60Gb drive is more of a limiting factor.

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.

Discontinued    November 2007

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.

Can you add ram to a Macbook5,2

Can I add ram to this macbook to be able to make it more compatible and be able to open applications that I can't without upgrading my software?
Is It worth it? How much Ram would I have to add for Lion software? Is that possible?
I am not in the position for a new computer and this one is good, it is just frustrating that some application that friends send to me do not open.
Thanks for you help and support.

The Model 5,2 (Early 2009, 2.0GHz Model Only) can use 6gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM. The model 5,2 (Mid 2009, 2.13GHz Model Only) can use 6gb of 800mhz PC2-6400 RAM

Hi rama,
Check to make sure you don't have restrictions turned on:

Hope this helps!

How Do You Add Multiple CSS Rules to Text?

Hi everyone, I have these css rules in my css styles window they are all assigned to some text in a cell on my page.
.Def14grey4 <body>
.def14grey4 a:link <a>
.def14grey4 a:visited <a>
.def14grey4 a:hover <a>
.def14grey4 a:active <a>
.def14grey4 a:focus <a>
How do you add (all of) these styles to the text in the first place, I know how to add the first one (.Def14grey4), you select the text in the cell and choose the rule from the drop-down menu in the css panel, but how do you add the other ones to some text as well, so that it can have the same link properties.
Basically I have some more text elsewhere on the page and want to assign these rules to that as well.
thanks Gareth

You would want to change your order as shown here -
.Def14grey4 <body>
.def14grey4 a:link <a>
.def14grey4 a:visited <a>
.def14grey4 a:hover, .def14grey4 a:focus <a>
.def14grey4 a:active <a>
That way, the hover and the focus states are equivalent.
How do you add (all of) these styles to the text in the first place, I know how to add the first one
You don't really. The 4 bottom selectors say -
"find an element with a class of 'def14grey4', and style any link inside that element this way"
So, <span class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></span> would get the pseudo-class styles, as would any of the following -
<span class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></span>
<td class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></td>
<p class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></p>
<body class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></body>
<div class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></div>
<strong class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></strong>
and so on. These examples assume that there isn't some other more specific rule that would apply to the same links. You need to study up on the CSS cascade and specificity....

How do you add non-Garage band instruments into a Logic project so that you can hear them on playback?

How do you add non-Garage band instruments (orchestral instruments) into a Logic Pro (8) project so that you can hear those insrtruments' sounds on playback? I've tried to understand and follow the Logic Pro 8 User Manual, but the process comes off as so complex and the writing so technical that it does not help but only confuses.
To be precise - I want to add instruments (orchestral) that are not offered in the current Garage band menu which is offered in the Mixer's channel strip menus for Logic Pro 8. To be clear, the instruments that are offered are Bass / Drum Kits / Guitars / Mallets / Organs / Pianos and Keyboards / Synth Basics / Synth Leads / Synth Pads. Most of these that I've tried seem to work and give their characteristic sound when placed in a particular channel and playback is clicked.
However - there is one orchestra instrument offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Mixer channel menu and it's the item labelled "Performance - 000 flute 1 or 001 flute 1." And it is this instrument that presents a problem. When I click on it and choose it from the menu and enter it as the instrument of choice for a specfic channel / track in my Logic Pro project arrangement, when playing back the music for the overall piece this particular track, the flute, does not playback and produce the notes (Midi events) in the track in the sound of the flute. Instead, nothing comes out at all. I can't imagine why this does not work. Any ideas, anyone? Again, when choosing this instrument for a track and clicking the playback no flute sound is forthcoming. Why not? I have not tried them all, but when most of the other various types of keyboards, such as an electric piano or an organ, are chosen for a track the playback successfully renders the sound of these instruments. Why then does playback not produce the sound of the flute when it has clearly been chosen to play and sound the Midi events given it?
Anyway, the overall, larger issue for me is the inability I have to choose and get non-Garageband instruments (largely orchestral) to play the Midi events given on various tracks. If my guess is correct then technically, orchestral instruments not offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Garageband Mixer channel menu are referred to as external Midi sampled instruments - still, IMHO the process is not clearly spelled out in the User Manual. The simple step by step process whereby a non-Garage band instrument, say an orchestral instrument, is placed in a channel replete with Midi event (notes) waiting to be played should be easy, logical and given in a simple to follow format, but is not.
What with all the talk of routes, busses, auxillary channels, GM devices, GM mixers, audio bins, libraries and audio files this Logic Pro User is confused to the max. Can someone please help me and, in simple English, describe the step by step process whereby presumably external sampled orchestral instruments can be successfully employed, in any given Logic Pro arrangement project, to render their characteristic sounds upon playback?
On my two Macs, one a laptop and one a much larger Mac, I have any number of the GSO (Garritan Symphony Orceshtra) and Vienna Symphony Orchestra instrument library samples - and yet - I've yet to figure out how to actually get them INTO a Logic Pro project of any kind! To put this as a question, even as a humble request, how can I make good use of these orchestral sample libraries in a Logic Pro project? Can someone steer my to a clear resolution of this issue. I'd sincerely appreciate it! Thanks all!

David, you understand that this is professional software and is not necessarily meant to be easy but is in fact designed to give the professional user as many choices as possible, that's why it's in the Pro Apps section. You WILL need to learn about buses, GM Devices, Audio Bins, Libraries...etc..etc if you intend to use Logic.
That said, you are looking in the wrong place in the channel strip.
May I offer you advice?
Go here:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
Open "Exploring Logic Pro" (a short PDF Document). Pay special attention to chapter 3. Also pay special attention to the included graphics of the channel strips.
I encourage you to read the whole document as it will clear up many things... even though it's a Logic 9 document.

How do you add an iTunes Gift Card & how is it charged?

Hey all,
I currently pay for my iTunes downloads direct from my Debit Card. If I add a gift card to my account will the cost of downloads come from that automatically or do I need to let iTunes know thats what I want?
Also - how do you add the card? I'm probably being totally stupid but can't seem to find an "add credit here" option.
Help appreciated

If you redeem an iTunes gift card, the next purchases you make up to the value of the gift card will be made from it automatically. To add the card, click here; this link will open iTunes.

How do you add multiple iTunes to Keynote

How do you add multiple songs from the iTunes to your Keynote presentation?

Jer&Renee,
welcome to Apple Discussions.
It depends where you want them in your presentation.
Open the Media inspector and choose a playlist. In the list of entries, mark those you want to add to Keynote (use command-click to mark multiple titles not in one block).
Then drag the marked titles either on a slide or on the small Audio field (looks like a frame) in Document inspector. When you then hover the cursor at the Audio "frame", you'll see the quick info "Multiple Files". You cannot change the order or remove one of the files, but only all of them.
