I am having problems installing new OWC Memory in my macbook 3,1

I received 2G memory from OWC that is not working in my mac.  They shipped the wrong one as I had requested two 1G module and they sent a single 2G memory strip but they said it would work in combination with the installed .5G module.  They had me reset SMC and zap Pram but all I get with the new strip installed is a beeping sound and flashing indicator light and no start up.  Installing the old memory works fine.  Does anyone have an idea.  Can I install to different memory modules - they said it should work fine.  Frustrating.

Thanks for the feedback.  I sent the module back and asked for a refund from OWC and did  receive it though they deducted several dollars from my refund.  I contacted them for an explanation and they have refused to listen to or respond to my complaint although on their website it says that they will respond in 48 hours.  I think OWC is not a good seller and people should be aware that they do not stand by their products and their customer service is not good.  I will never do business with them again and hope that others will think twice about buying from them.

    You need to tell us exactly what messages you are seeing.
    You posted this in the OSX 10.4 forum but your computer profile says you are running OSX 10.6.8  Which system version you are running makes a big difference.

    i have a new iMac but having problems installing final cut express 4 from old macbook pro ?

    FCE was discontinued nearly 3 years ago and is no longer supported.
    I don't know whether it's possible to install it on Mavericks and if you do it may not perform properly.
    Final Cut pro X and iMovie are the only Apple apps that are supported.

  • Is anyone having problems downlaoding new update for window

    Is anyone having problems downlaoding new update for window

    You ought to be very pleased with that MacBook. 16 GB memory and a 512 GB SSD is a very robust configuration that should serve you well for many years.
    Mavericks runs extremely well on a MacBook Pro with a quarter that amount of memory.
    Since Mavericks is free it doesn't really matter if it or Mountain Lion is installed when you buy it. You really should purchase Macs from the Apple Store since they won't be any cheaper anywhere else, and that is the only way to buy one with absolute assurance it has not been misused or improperly stored.
    You can order a Mac configured with custom options on a Sunday evening and it can be on your desk that Wednesday morning. Shipping is free.
    I have no idea why anyone would by a Mac from anyone other than Apple, but they do. Complaints from those who buy Macs from "big box" resellers appear on this site in disproportionate numbers, for reasons that are not clear.

  • Having problems installing snow leopard. I have a macbook aluminium unibody 13'' running on 10.5.8.

    Having problems installing snow leopard. I have a macbook aluminium unibody 13'' running on 10.5.8. I need snow leopard for ios6 and my new iPhone 5. I am trying to install using a snow leopard dvd for macbook pro but it comes up with an error message saying I can't install on this computer. I am pretty sure that my computer is late 2008 and has the spec. Is it because the dvd is for a macbook pro? If so where can I get one specifically for my computer?

    1. Yes.
    2. Phone the online Apple Store and order it.

    nrg adjusta,
    Sorry it took me a while to repsond, Ive been pretty busy with school and work. But for my hard drive problem, I did hours and hours of more research and trying countless ways of installing and tweaking things in my laptop and absolutely nothing worked that I could do. It was very irritating because I felt like I was so close to fixing it and I was just missing a step somewhere. Though It still boggles me why the disk utility shows a different capacity for the HD's. One thing I'm going to try next is replacing the hard drive cable that goes from the internal HD to the macbook. I read somewhere that sometimes those can go bad over time, and also if you get a new, modern hard drive, sometimes the old cable (for some odd reason) might not be compatible with the new HD. So i want to test it out for myself to see it that is the actual culprit.
    http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Hard-Drive-Cable/IF186-018
    Once I get the cable and install it I'll let you know the results and if it helped at all.
    Have you made any progress on your hard drive at all? If worst comes worst for you, you can probably get a SATA to USB cable and try to reformat it that way (this is the way that worked for me, but the only problem was it wouldn't be recognized when I installed it internally. Thats why i want to try getting the new cable), and if it still wont recognize it after that, you can just leave it outside of your mac, and just boot from that. The only thing that ***** about that is you have this big hard drive handing off the side of your mac when ever you need to use it.
    Heres a link for a SATA to USB. this one is good because is compact and protects the HD from damage and most static electricity.

    Im still continuing my search for the answer and once i find it (if ever!) I'll post it.

  • Problems installing new flash player

    im having problems installing the latest flash player. the
    first time i tried my internet protector blocked me and i pressed
    deny by mistake, i restarted my computor and tried again but this
    time nothing happens, and thats it, i cant download the
    installations program.
    can someone help me?

    I'm having the same problem. I go to update my Adobe Flash
    Player @ the web address:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
    Then I click on the Download and Install button, and it takes
    me to:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/flash/trigger/en/1/index.html
    which ends up taking me back to where I started.
    So, I cannot download the new flashplayer either. That makes
    YouTube off-limits, which sucks.
