HT1423 My new RAM doesn't work in my iMAC.

I bought 1067 DDR3 RAM, 2 4GB cards, for my iMAC.  But I'm getting the beeps.  I bought my RAM through NEWEGG and even states works with iMAC.  I am sure I read my iMAC can handle 8GB of RAM but I'm not sure why else I would be getting the beeps. thoughts

They generally mean the RAM is bad or you have a defective slot(s) or you may have damaged a slot when installing the RAM.
I would return the RAM to NewEgg. They are not the best source for compatible RAM. Try buying from:OWC, DataMem or Crucial.
I cannot verify what RAM your computer uses without knowing exactly what model it is or the model identifier from System Profiler.

  • My new RAM doesn't work with my iMac.

    Hello,
    I bought new RAM 4GB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz SO-DIMM to installed in my iMac 3.4 GHz intel core i7, osx lion.
    I try to installed it alone without original RAM (2GB * 2 pcs) installed to check how it works.
    After press start button, there are 3 beep sounds and iMac won't start.
    I try to reset PRAM follow the instruction, but it won't work.  Because there are 3 beep sounds alarm immediately after press start.
    Does my RAM have a problem?

    My iMac has 4 memory slots and I try to installed one by leave 3 slots empty.
    By the way this is the 2nd ram I purchased from OWC with same spec as the last one (also same as link above) but different in purchase date (about 2 weeks different).
    So now I have 2 GB *2 pcs (come with iMac) and 4GB * 2 pcs from OWC.
    So I'm quit sure that this ram is compatible with my iMac because the first one is work.
    But I have some notice,
    For the 1st RAM I bought from OWC (4GB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz SO-DIMM), when first installation it also didn't work. I can't start iMac. And after 2 weeks, I try to installed it to my iMac again, now it can operate as normal.  What do you think about it?

  • New RAM doesn't show on System Profiler

    Hi, I just installed additional 1 Gb of RAM in my Mac Pro but the new RAM doesn't show on System Profiler whether I have it inserted on Riser A or B but everything is working fine. What gives?
    By the way, my Mac Pro has 2 x 512Mb RAM pre-installed on Riser A and I didn't buy the new RAM from Apple. Thanks for the help.

    Hi Kappy,
    I don't think the 1Gb RAM I bought is faulty cos:
    1. It shows on System Profiler when installed on Riser A DIMM 1 (without original 2 x 512Mb RAM)
    2. It shows on System Profiler when installed on Riser A DIMM 1 with 2 x 512Mb on DIMM 3 & 4
    The funny thing is in scenario 2, System Profiler shows that I have a total of 1.5Gb. 1Gb on Riser A DIMM 1 and 512Mb on DIMM 3 appear but not the other 512Mb on DIMM 4. Why???
    I'm beginning to think that I should have bought 2 x 512Mbs instead of one 1Gb. So I'm getting 1.5Gb of RAM instead of 2Gb!
    Do you think if I purchase another one 1Gb RAM and have them installed in sequence (1Gb DIMM 1, 1Gb DIMM 2, 512Mb DIMM 3, 512 DIMM 4), I would then have 3Gb installed?
    Thanks for your help once again.

  • New Version Doesn't Work On ESPN

    All I get is the black box on most of espn.com. The problem started when I downloaded the new version. I can watch video on most sites; but the screen simply stays black, with no arrows or control bar at the bottom (play, volume, etc.) on espn.com and a couple of others. I've tried most of the "fixes" I've found, to no avail. I'm using FP version 10.3.181.34 and IE 8 with Windows 7 on a laptop. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and it still doesn't work. I don't have any adblock software, and I've tried it with a pop-up blocker on and off, and it still doesn't work. I've tried it with hardware acceleration enabled and disabled, and it still doesn't work. I've increased and decreased my security settings to every available level and tried it, and it still doesn't work.
    Hard to believe this is an improvement. Now I can't remember what my old version was, or I'd just go back to it... it worked with everything on every site.

    Perhaps to somebody who spends most of their time on a computer, and makes it their business to know how to do all these things, it isn't jumping through hoops. For someone with no time and less patience for such tasks, and who expects a computer company and its hardware and software manufacturers to automatically provide working updates for the equipment they paid good money for, it is a burden. I have spent hours trying to either update that driver or find out why it's a bad idea to do so. I happen to believe them when they advise against it, and suggest it could have other negative effects on other aspects of the system. Not only do I believe it, it's happened to me on more than one occasion over the years; so I'm understandably hesitant to discard the advice of the manufacturer and give it a try on my own.
    I updated all my drivers from the Dell driver update utility; and like the Intel site said, there isn't an updated one for my adapter. So, my choices appear to be, try the driver that isn't necessarily designed for my system, and hope for the best; or just uninstall the new version of FP, and reinstall the previous version that worked just fine. Because I'm not savvy enough to undo any potentially disastrous consequences from using the wrong driver, I'm leaning toward the latter resolution. I'm also having a tough time understanding how that single driver update is going to make my FP finally work for only the ESPN site. As I said, with the current driver, it works on virtually every other site, and the old version of FP, with the current driver, worked on every site, bar none. So, essentially I'd be installing a whole new driver that may or may not make my FP work on a single site. See what I'm getting at? It doesn't seem plausible that the driver was designed for the sole purpose of making one application work on a single site. Thanks for all the assistance; I appreciate everyone who devoted so much time to my issue.

    Installing a simple driver update is "jumping though the hoops"...?  I don't know why the Intel utility gave you that strange message; another easy way to update your outdated drivers is http://drivermax.com/ - the free version allows up to two driver downloads per day.

  • 9800 new battery doesn't work

    hello
    I bought a new battery for my torch, cause the old one draines very quickly. so the new battery doesn't work, it has an X and the OS doesn't load. I've reinstaled 3 times the OS so it's not this problem. also I've charged the battery 1 day, with blackberry original charger.
    I've tried every step I found on forums but with nou luck
    any help please..
    the battery it's new, it's the same as the original one, I don't know if it's original 100% but it's the same as the one I had before.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    If the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you should investigate more harsh remedies...WIPE, OS Reload, OS Update, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, "Bare Bones" diagnostic reload process, etc.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • New Itunes is not working because my imac is 10.6.8 need help ?

    New Itunes is not working because my imac is 10.6.8 need help ....

    Because you require Lion to run it. You should not have installed it.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
                 Identifier 5,1 or later.
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

  • The open a new tab doesn't work

    the button named : ''Open a new tab'' toes not work....when i pres it in does nothing....i just upgraded firefox and after that it doesn't work

  • "Get Info" - new shortcut doesn't work

    I'm trying to create a more convenient keyboard shortcut for "Get Info" on iTunes, since I use it a lot. I want to replace Command-I with F19 on a full-size aluminum Apple keyboard.
    Using the Application Shortcuts I entered F19 as the new "Get Info" shortcut, and iTunes duly shows F19 on the menu; Command-I does not work any longer. So far so good - the problem is that it doesn't work on iTunes. It works in the Finder, I can invoke the Info window of a file that way now, but neither an universal All Applications shortcut or an iTunes specific one will bring up the information of a track, which is what I want.
    Any ideas? This seems to be a genuine bug, since the menu is updated properly - it just fails to work.

    Yes, of course. I understand you're just trying to rule out the obvious first.

  • Clicking on "+" to open new tab doesn't work

    Closeing firefox and restarting doesn't fix problem. Using firefox 3.6 on windows xp, I don't want to upgrade to newer version, since there doesn't not appear to be a navigation bar on the newer version.

    Thank you for your response Cor-el. In fact the Ask.com toolbar had recently appeared on my browser, and I immediately turned it off since I didn't want it. It's frustrating how they can sneak these things in on us sometimes in spite of our attempts to keep so much clutter out. So this issue of the new tab button not working anymore in Firefox 3.6, even after turning off the Ask.com toolbar, it was finally enough to make me cave in to the constant badgering to upgrade to Firefox 4.0 ... Christ these endless upgrades are annoying ... Adobe Acrobat Reader has to be the worst offender in this category. Anyway, after installing Firefox 4.0, there was a terrible glitch, which was an error message box that popped up every single time I clicked on any link on any page. This was the last straw. One can only bear so much, then one is forced to look for new answers. I installed Google Chrome. Naturally the interface, look and feel are quite different from Firefox, but after less than 24 hours with Google Chrome, I am really liking it. It is truly a step up in the browsing experience it provides; so fast, and the way it handles bookmarks is so nice; even sophisticated. Oh, and about the relentless nagging upgrade messages from all manner of software that have caused us all so much suffering over the years, Google Chrome upgrades itself automatically behind the scenes without any need to bother you about such trifle maintenance issues. I recommend it to everyone. Step up to a new enlightened browsing experience People! Try Google Chrome and you'll be glad you did!

  • QuickTime movies cannot display properly, refresh doesn't work propely for html files on hard disk, opening a new tab doesn't work

    Hi!
    I have tried Firefox V4 (but have since reused V3.6.16). The following problems were found:
    a. Cannot display the controls used for QuickTime movies.
    b. The refresh button doesn't function at all if the html files reside on the hard disk. I do this because I need to test the appearance of the web page before uploading to the server.
    This problem also exists for v3.6.14 to v3.6.16
    c. When opening a new tab, it doesn't work. Instead, it will open another instance of the browser. By right, it has to open the web page on the same instance of the browser.
    This is my feedback.
    Thanks!!!!! :)

    I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide.  Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
    The problem Keynote has is that the sound and image content are not locked together which causes out of sync errors. This is why many users choose video editing applications when using sound in the presentations, as they have both image and audio tracks to sync sound properly together.
    Start a new presentation to remove the previous sound recording, Keynote is holding onto the other sound files.
    Add the graphic items to each slide and one sound file to each slide for the voice over
    1 - In Inspector > Transitions;  use start transitions automatically and set each transitions delay to the duration of the individual sound file.
    2 - In QT export, set Fixed Timing and delete the value in the duration box, QT will then use the custom timings for each individual slide.
    This procedure does work exactly as needed, Iv used this for nearly 6 years using 4 different versions of Keynote.

  • Open new jframe doesn't work when put into jar

    I cant get my program to open up a new frame. When i run my program from netbeans it works fine but when i put it into an executable jar it doesn't work. I have three frames, Main, About and SelectLanguage. From Main i can create a new instance of this from this window but it wont open either of the other two. This is the code i use for all three. Please help.
    new About().show();please help.
    clarkie

    well, if that's the code you use for all three, and
    they are different classes, maybe you should call the
    right class name?
    The code you posted isn't helpful, and I can't begin
    to guess what you're doing wrong.nah, i use
    new Main().show();
    new About().show();

  • The synchronisation of mediathek from the PC to the new IPad doesn't work.

    Hello community
    I've several Apple products is use, and so far I had no problems to get them synchronised or updated. I have on all of them the same music tiltles and apps.
    Yesterday I got a brand new IPad2 - WiFi 16 GB.
    And now I have some problems with the synchronisation of the mediathek from the PC to the IPad.
    It doesn't work. It shows the recommeded audio space, after starting the synchronisation it counts 5 steps of the synchronisation in the top bar of the screen;
    when it's finished, the recommendd space indication goes away, and the IPad is still "empty*. Exception: Some bought-in titles.
    I've checked several websites, but non of them was really useful. By the way, I've already updated the IPad as well as ITunes to the most acutal software release.
    and I've alredays reset the IPad back to the factories setting..
    Is there any good idea what I could do ??

    That is bizarre. Do you have any add-ons that change the default tab behavior? If so, try disabling them temporarily and see whether that helps.

  • Can't access iTunes Store: New Safari doesn't work on my version of Mac!

    Hey guys.
    I'm a new owner of an iPhone, and i was just planning to purchase an app. I opened the itunes store tab on my iTunes... i have to download the newest version of Safari.
    Okay. So i went and did that on the Mac Download site. I selected the Leopard option. Open up...
    Halfway through the installation process, it tells me that my Version is doesn't work. It only works on Mac OS X 10. 5.8 ?!
    What i am doing wrong?

    Update your OSX to 10.5.8. It is free to update. It is suggested that you d/l the 'combo' update. This will make sure all required files are installed with the update.
    Once that is done you should be able to install the version of Safari that you have d/l.
