Your iMac10,1 has four (4) RAM/memory slots. You currently have two occupied slots and two empty ones. Each slot can accept up to a 4G RAM/memory modules for a total of 16GB RAM.
You can double you RAM to 8GM by installing two 2GB modules in the empty slots, or even fartherr to 12GB by using two 4GB modules. To get to the ful 16MB, you  will need to remove the two modules that shipped with your computer and put larger modules in their place.
Installation is easy:

  • I am contemplating purchasing an iPad, and then possibly a Macbook pro.  Currently, I have an iMac G5, and a Powerbook G4.  Neither which can be upgraded past Leopard.  My question is do I need to have Snow Leopard in order to be able to update an iPad?

    I am contemplating purchasing an iPad, and then possibly a Macbook pro.  Currently, I have an iMac G5, and a Powerbook G4.  Neither which can be upgraded past Leopard.  My question is do I need to have Snow Leopard in order to be able to update an iPad? Do I need to reverse my thought on which to buy first?
    I plan on keeping the iMac and PB until they cease to work ( have replaced HD's on both already).  I mostly use the PB-- lots of writing, surfing, email, etc.
    Your thoughts?

    The minimum Mac specs (from http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/) are :
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.2 or later recommended (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access
    So you only need Leopard, not Snow Leopard

  • I have older iMac.  No longer getting security updates.  Can't upgrade to Maverick.  Do I need anti-virus software?

    Hi.  I am not very computer literate so bear with me.  I have an old iMac:
    iMac 8, 1
    10.6.8, think I installed Snow Leopard
    2.4 gz, Intel Cored 2 Duo
    1GB, 800 mhz ddr 2 sdram
    I no longer get security updates from Apple.  Can't update to Maverick because I don't have enough memory.  Bought my Mac in part because of no need for antivirus software but have been told I need it now.  Is this true?  Do I just pick something to download or install?  Is there something appropriate at the Apple Store?

    If you have an iMac model 8.1, you can upgrade as far as Mavericks if you upgrade your RAM. I have the same model, with RAM upgraded to 6 GB and Mavericks does fine.
    One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install Mavericks, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything.
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

    The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.
    Crucial
    Other World Computing
    I kept a Snow Leopard partition for older games and so forth, but mainly use Mavericks.

  • Hi There, i have a power mac g5, which has the following spec, can i upgrade straight from 10.5.8 to 10.7? or do i have to purchase 10.6 first?;

    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:          Power Mac G5
      Model Identifier:          PowerMac7,3
      Processor Name:          PowerPC G5  (3.1)
      Processor Speed:          2.7 GHz
      Number Of CPUs:          2
      L2 Cache (per CPU):          512 KB
      Memory:          4 GB
      Bus Speed:          1.35 GHz
      Boot ROM Version:          5.2.4f1
      Hardware UUID:          00000000-0000-1000-8000-000D9379499E

    Lion won't boot or install if there isn't EFI or UEFI firmware.
    You can focus on Intel side because that is simple and easier (though because some early "Core Duo" models are cut off from 10.7 and only Core2Duo and above are supported).
    There is no firmware support. The logicboard can't.  There is no PowerPC code in Lion, which was the heart of the G5 kernel.
    Lion integrates the iPad and other iOS devices with the desktop and iCloud along with Apple's AppStore.   There is a lot of 'something' and what value or benefit it offers to the traditional desktop OS, I think the jury will have to decide. 
    But 10.4.11 may also be the most optimized Apple OS for the PowerMac platform.

  • I have a IMac - Mac OSX version 10.4 and présently i see only verticals lines on my dashboard and my mouse still mouving but with a little square with vertical lines at the right. This appen when i was talking with a friend on Skype. I need help to unlook

    I have a IMac - Mac OSX version 10.4 and présently i see only verticals lines on my desktop and my mouse, i mean the arrow and still mouving but with a little square with vertical lines at the right. This appened when i was talking with a friend on Skype, by error i did click on the video and slowly the vertical lines appeared and covered all ma desktop. Since then, it still there and the only things i see it is the vertical lines and the arrow with the little square.
    How can i fix this problem ?
    En français: j'ai un IMac - Mac OSX version 10.4 et présentement je vois seulement des lignes verticales sur mon bureau et ma souris c'est-à-dire la flèche, bouge mais il y a un petit carré avec aussi des lignes verticales à sa droite. Je pense que ce bug est survenu lorsque j'étais sur Skype avec une amie et que par erreur j'ai cliqué sur l'image de la vidéo et peu à peu les lignes sont appurues et tout l'écran est envahie par ces lignes.
    Comment corriger le problème ? Merci à l'avance.

    Hello, sounds like Video card  and/or heat problems.
    Have you blown the dust out lately? Let it cool for an hour or so.
    Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...

    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode).

  • HT1444 How can I get OS X Mountain Lion if I have an iMac Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a) ?

    How can I get the OS X Mountain Lion if I have an iMac Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a) ? Or I need to buy a new computer???

    Depending on which model of iMac you have, you may be able to get it by going through Mac OS X 10.6(phone the Apple Store), or you may need to buy a newer computer.

    http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
    In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
    /Library/Little Snitch
    /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
    /Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
    /Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
    /Applications/avast!.app
    /Applications/ClamXav.app
    /Applications/HTTPScoop.app
    /Applications/Packet Peeper.app
    If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

    Hi, I have a mid 2007 24inch iMac currently running on 10.5.8.  Can I upgrade directly to 10.7 and if so, can I expect any issues?  Thanks

    You need to have a copy of Snow Leopard installed to access Lion in the Mac App Store. There's no direct path to upgrade from Leopard to Lion.
    I did read a piece earlier this week about Apple giving free copies of Snow Leopard to new iCloud subscribers, you might want to look into this here:

    i have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 what can i upgrade to?

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. 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 and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. 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.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

  • My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

    My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

    Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
    You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
    If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud.

  • I have a imac g5. It's running off version 10.4.11. How do I update it to a higher version? Do I have to buy that software or can I download it from apple?

    I have a imac g5. It's running off version 10.4.11. How do I update it to a higher version? Do I have to buy that software or can I download it from apple?

    Does the computer's installed version of OS X (Tiger 10.4.11) have an install
    + restore DVD, or is that missing? The original disc set usually would include
    the extra applications not found on a retail version OS X install DVD; and a
    bonus is the original software kit included the version Apple Hardware Test
    for your computer model. This also is not included in a retail OS X install DVD.
    If you have your computer serial number and model information available,
    and try calling Apple (main number, not local store) and ask to speak to an
    Operating System Specialist, when you get someone matching that position
    on the phone ask what they can do for you regarding a Replacement DVD
    install disc for a system that can run in your computer.
    If your computer shipped with a Tiger version, that would have been originally
    on a grey-label DVD set include with the computer, with a part number on it.
    A replacement may be harder to get, than say, a white label Replacement
    DVD install disc for Leopard 10.5. There had been a white label non-retail
    full install version of both Tiger and Leopard, available for a time from Apple
    sales support main numbers (or applecare?) for a reasonable fee. Maybe still.
    Perhaps if one kind of replacement system disc is not available, they may
    have some other option at Apple. The main store number may not be the
    correct place to ask, but they may be able to redirect you to an OS Specialist.
    (in US 1-800-MY-APPLE is the main #. There is another number I don't recall.)
    Good luck & happy computing!

    You can upgrade to 10.6.8 by buying Snow Leopard (on disk) and running Software Update. How much farther you can go will depend on the age and configuration of your Mac, which you have not identified.
