can the ram on a powerbook g4 be increased?

Turn off the powerbook, flip it over and on the bottom there will be two rectangles. the one with the screws is for RAM. unscrew the four screws, remove the panel, and there will be a circuit there. on either side will be two metal flaps, push both towards outer edges and the circuit will pop up. remove that and there may or may not be another underneath. from there you can add or take away ram from your powerbook

You need to download and install an additional program to make the fonts bigger, it does not cost much (€9.95):

Is the RAM expandable on a 15-fo39wm Notebook?

Hello. I just have a quick question: on the 15-fo39wm Notebook laptop, is the 4GB of RAM on it expandable up to 8GB of RAM? Because I'm considering purchasing this laptop, but wether or not the RAM can be expanded at least up to 8GB is the deciding factor for me. So, can the RAM be expanded on this laptop up to 8GB, or no?

Hi there
Yes. But it'll void warranty if you do it yourself and something goes bad.

Expand the RAM on Macbook to more than 4Gs

Iam running OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.5) software on my Macbook (late 2008) can the RAM memory be expanded beyond 4G's

The late 2008 Aluminum unibody MacBook can be expanded to 8gb of ram

I have a Powerbook G3 Wallstreet and want to upgrade the Ram.

I recently bought an old Powerbook G3 Wallstreet. But it has some issues with booting up.
It doesn't boot up everytime... I can hear the start sound, but only sometimes the harddrive starts spinning.
So my idea was that maybe one ram module is broken...
But I don't know if the Ram I want to use is compatible with my Powerbook model.
There were 2 Ram modules installed:
And this is the one I want to insert. I took it out of an old Microsoft machine (gericom).
Maybe anyone can help me... or has an other solution for this booting problem.

The SO-DIMM that you want to use shouldn't cause any problems, even though it's the faster PC-133 SDRAM. It should downclock to your PowerBook's slower bus speed. Judging by the shadow (or lack thereof) under each memory module in your photos, the upper SO-DIMM is undoubtedly the original Apple-installed 4-chip, 64 MB module. The "Power Ram" appears to be a 16-chip, 128 MB module, while the Nanya is an 8-chip, 256 MB module. What this means is that each of these SO-DIMMs has a chip density that differs from the other two. The Power Ram's chips have the smallest density, the SEC's chips have slightly greater density, and the Nanya's chips have the greatest density. I always felt that optimal performance in those older Macs was achieved by attempting to match chip densities. I would never have used an original (8-chip) 32 MB DIMM with a newer (16-chip) 256 MB DIMM in one of my desktop or mini-tower G3s. While you'll have 64 or 128 MBs less of total memory installed, I'd prefer to use the Nanya SO-DIMM by itself. If you really need additional memory, you could install the original Apple (SEC) module, but I wouldn't.
As to whether a memory fault is causing the startup problem, I would be more inclined to think that the original (if it is) hard drive is becoming unreliable. A 15 year-old laptop drive has undoubtedly had a lot of use and in an enclosure that doesn't dissipate heat the way a fan-cooled desktop or mini-tower is capable of doing. When the PowerBook does manage to complete startup, how much installed memory is indicated when you select "About this Macintosh" from the Apple Menu — 192 MBs? If so, then both modules are detected and passed the Power-On Self-Test. If memory problems are detected during the POST, you should hear a beep or beeps at startup, indicating a problem.

RAM doesn't fit in the Memmory Slot on PowerBook G4 17"

I recently purchased a 512 MB RAM from apple.com for my powerbook G4 17" 1.67 that I bought a year ago. I currently have a 512 MB RAM on my powerbook, trying to upgrade it to 1 G by adding one more RAM to it.
The problem is the new RAM can't fit in on both of the memory slots at the back of the powerbook. The gap on the edge of the RAM is a bit off if compares to the old RAM I have.. this is weird.
Does anyone have this problem??
This RAM was purchased from apple.com, it couldn't be wrong, but why it can't fit in the slot??? Please help...

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
There are two 512MB modules for the PB 17", and they are different. M9595G/A (DDR333 PC2700) is for the PB 17" prior to October/Nov 2005, and MA219G/A (DDR2 PC2-4200) is for the post-Oct 2005 high resolution screen, dual layer DVD systems. Maybe check the memory against those numbers to see if you have the incorrect memory, or if you look at your system profiler (click blue apple, about this mac, more information, memory) it will tell you what you currently have in your system.

Can the processor and ram be upgraded for an affordable price?

Okay, so I've had my PowerBook 15inch for about 6 or 7 years now. I love it. I have a number of reasons for wanting to keep it. Like ports that fit hard drives that newer MacBook Pro's don't seem to have. I'm a photographer and use it for a lot of digital imagery. How ever, it uses the PowerPC processor and I'm finding that a lot of websites won't let me use it without a intel based Mac. I'm having issues trying to download some PDF's. I'm told this is because I'm not using an intel based Mac. Finally, newer software is starting to require that I have an intel based Mac.
I'm on the move all the time and never at home. Much of my entertainment comes from Netflix and video games such as World of Warcraft. I can't stream video from Netflix and soon I won't be able to play video games on my PowerPC based Mac. I was laid off and I've got little money. I DO NOT want a PC, but can't afford a Mac at this time. I was wondering if the processor could be upgraded as well as the ram for an affordable price.

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
You can upgrade your RAM to 2GB. If you want to see if that will help for programs you run, bring up the Activity Monitor, on your hard drive in applications/utilities. On the system memory tab look at page ins and page outs. If page outs are 10% to 15%+ of page ins, you can use more memory for what you run. A page out is when there isn't enough physical memory to run everything, and the system writes some memory to disk to make room for something else. Too much of this can hamper performance.
On the CPU, as was pointed out, you can't upgrade it.

Can you put 1GB RAM in a Powerbook G4 12" 867MHZ?

I want to add more RAM to a Powerbook G4 12 inch 867MHz, which only has the 256 MB RAM it was shipped with in it.
I know Apple officially say you can only max out your RAM to 640MB by upgrading to a 512 MB but I've read elsewhere online that you can actually put a 1GB worth of RAM in.
Obviously it's the latter I'd like to do. Can anyone tell me the specs of the RAM I should buy?
Specifically, could I put 1GB 200Pin PC2700 DDR SO-DIMM RAM in my 12" PB G4?
I'm going to buy it online so want to be sure it will work.
Thanks in advance.
MK

Here are some additional RAM resellers that corroborate the fact that you can put 1 GB of RAM in an 867 MHz PowerBook G4 12-inch:

I just got my Mac Pro repaired from Apple but I am experiencing the same issue: Screen freezes and shows funny rectangular bars. I shut it down manually and when I try to turn it back on it beeps 3 times. I know its the RAM but is there a way I can fix it

If you just got it back and it isn't fixed or something else is wrong with it take it back and have them do the repair correctly.

Can you upgrade the RAM on a Retina Display Macbook Pro?

So I've been looking around for information on whether the RAM on a Retina Macbook Pro can be upgraded and the mixed messages have left me confused. If I take my Macbook Pro (Retina Display) to an Apple store for a RAM upgrade and offer to pay them for the RAM and installation, would they do it for me?
Thanks and if you can't, please explain why.
I am aware that the RAM is soldered into the motherboard making it very difficult to perform the upgrade, but will some stores actually do it for you?

The MacBook Pro with Retina display is soldered onto the logic board, so RAM can't be added without replacing the logic board.
I know there are shops that may try to add more RAM without replacing the logic board, but they aren't official resellers and if something happens, the warranty will be voided. Apple won't do it.
If you want, you can sell your MacBook Pro and get another one with more RAM. It's the best way to do it, because I don't think you want to spend a lot of money replacing the logic board or you want to take it to a non-official technical support, putting the Mac in risk

13" late 2011 MacBook Pro has frozen after Yosemite installation. I can, however, boot from a clone of my MacBook Air that is on an external drive. Despite the fact that I can boot from the external, could it be the RAM that's the prob

My daughter's 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro has frozen (null sign displays) after Yosemite installation. I can, however, boot from a clone of my MacBook Air that is on an external drive. I reinstalled Yosemite on the MBP HD, but it still hangs in mid install. Despite the fact that I can boot from the external, could it be the RAM that's the problem? I'd happily put 8 GB in if it seems probable that would solve the problem. I've tried all the suggested procedures that I've seen posted here. Disk Utility, and my older version of DiskWarrior indicate the HD is OK. I have DiskWarrior 5 on order.

Boot the MBP with the OPTION key down. If successful, you should see two HDD icons, Select the recovery partition (on the right).
From the 4 option menu select Disk Utility.
Run Disk Utility>First Aid, Verify and Repair.
If the disk cannot be repaired, it will have to be replaced.
Ciao.
