I just bought more Ram how do I check for bios updates before I install it?

I purchased 2 4GBs 200 PIN DDR2 of memory  from Crucial to upgrade my Pavillion notebook dv4t 1400 from 4 to 8 gbs
Series (DDR2)  ( p/n NS244AV)
I'm running Win 7 Ultimate 64bit service pack 1
The directions say I need to check for bios updates with the maufacturer to see if I need to flash the bios before I install the new memory. How do I do that?
thank you for your help

  • How to manually check for iOS updates

    HI
    My iPad is running 4.3.3 and I want to update to iOS 5, but there isn't a check for update button, there is only an update button which allows me to only update to 4.3.5
    I believe it is about 4 hrs after when iOS 5 should be released but correct me if I'm wrong.
    What can i do??

    Ok it has released now.
    But i tried again and it only tells me to update to 4.3.5 (i dont want to do that, file is too large )
    So what should I do now??
    Thx in advance

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You have an Early 2008 Mac Pro. You have the specs that your Mac Pro needs for more memory > https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4433#4 As you can read, that computer should have come with 2 GB of memory.
    You can buy memory at OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#800-memory Those sell compatible memory with all Macs. You can use another memory, but you can be sure that the memory that these brands sell are compatible

  • I have deleted so many pictures, and I only have about 6 apps but i still don't have storage. Whenever i try to take picture it won't let me because there is no room. I just bought more iCloud storage but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

    I need advice on getting more storage for my iPhone 6. I have just bought more iCloud storage, but it didn't help. I only have about 100 picture and 6 apps. I also recently purchased music and it won't let me download it to my phone because there is no storage. Any suggestions on getting more storage for my iPhone?

    iCloud storage has nothing to do with the memory available on your iPhone.
    Have you tried a reset?

  • I just bought ExportPDF. How do I convert a PDF file to Word?

    I just bought ExportPDF. How do I convert a PDF file to Word?

    Sara,
    Apparently, I got caught in a down period of the system that handles new purchases. After a while, Export PDF did just what is was supposed to. The problem was that it didn’t know it had been paid for until the glitch was fixed, or so it seems.
    The remaining problem is that while it was in the glitchy period, my profile showed no orders and no purchases. So, of course, I concluded that something went wrong when I ordered (even though I got the email confirmation), so I ordered again. Now I may get billed twice.
    Is there some way to see that I’m not billed twice?
    Thanks vey much.

  • I just bought more icloud storage, why does it not let me backup my iPhone 5..says i need 1.4 GB of space

    i just bought more icloud storage, why does it not let me backup my iPhone 5..says i need 1.4 GB of space?..I just bought 10 more in icloud.

    I think you are confused. Syncing apps and music to your phone will not get store in the cloud by adding more cloud storage. If you don't have enough space to sync the music and apps, buying cloud storage won't help. If you have a 16GB phone, the phone still only has 16GB for apps and music even if you buy 10 mor GB of cloud storage.

  • HT1420 I just bought my cousin's ipod, and I want to update it on my computer.  However, it needs authorization from his account to keep all the apps, and he's already authorized it on 5 computers.  How can I update this ipod without losing all the apps?

    You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.

  • I have an iPad with apps and data already on it  i just bought a mac how do i transfer the data from i pad to mac

    here
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finish backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

  • I just bought more storage and it is still showing i don't have enough storage? When does the storage plan kick in?

    I just bought more storage and it is still showing I don't have enough storage. When does it actually kick in? I need to download an app and it's saying I don't have enough space??? thanks for the help

    What sort of "storage" did you buy? If you are referring to iCloud storage, that does not change the amount of storage on your iPhone. You will have to delete things from your iPhone to be able to add more apps. If you want to have music in the cloud rather than on your iPhone, you need to subscribe to iTunes Match, after which you will be able to stream music rather than keeping it on your iPhone, though of course you'll need an internet connection to do so and can burn through your cell service data allowance rather quickly if you play a lot of music and don't have WiFi available.
    Regards.

  • I`ve just bought a Mac Book pro 15", did the required updates and since two days ago it freezes. Now I can´t even start the computer. the screen is allways white. how can I solve this issue??

    I`ve just bought a Mac Book pro 15", did the required updates and since two days ago it freezes. Now I can´t even start the computer. the screen is allways white. how can I solve this issue??

    The same thing happened to me... Since two days the ******* thing keeps freezing after a while. Then I try to reboot and the screen goes white and it doesn't boot. If I wait like half an hour it boots again.
    I thought it was a hardware problem, but the Apple Hardware Test founds nothing at all. I think it has to do with the software update I performed 2 days ago.

  • I just bought a new Mac, and i cant seem to update to Mountain Lion, any idea's as to why?

    i just bought a new Mac, and i cant seem to update to Mountain Lion, any idea's as to why? also i can not seem to download pages from the app store, any idea's on why, please help!!

    You need to describe more clearly what you are trying to do and how it is failing.
    Was your mac new, or just new to you? What OS did it come with? Lion? Snow Leopard?
    Have you already bought Mountain Lion? If so, are you using the same Apple ID that you used for your purchase?
    What are you seeing in the App Store? Come to think of it, are in the MAC App Store? (not to be confused with the iTunes App Store!).
    If you give answers to these questions we may be able to help!

  • I just bought an iPod touch 4th generation 8GB for $199.99 but then when the iPod touch 5th generation came out, the 4th generation was still $199.99, but for a whole 16GB. Is there a way I can get some sort of free space?

  • How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms?

    Hello all,
    How does APEX check for null values in Text Fields on the forms? This might sound trivial but I have a problem with a PL/SQL Validation that I have written.
    I have one select list (P108_CLUSTER_ID) and one Text field (P108_PRIVATE_IP). I made P108_CLUSTER_ID to return null value when nothing is selected and assumed P108_PRIVATE_IP to return null value too when nothign is entered in the text field.
    All that I need is to validate if P108_PRIVATE_IP is entered when a P108_CLUSTER_ID is selected. i.e it is mandatory to enter Private IP when a cluster is seelcted and following is my Pl/SQL code
    Declare
    v_valid boolean;
    Begin
    IF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
    v_valid := TRUE;
    ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
    v_valid := TRUE;
    ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NOT NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NULL THEN
    v_valid := FALSE;
    ELSIF :P108_CLUSTER_ID is NULL and :P108_PRIVATE_IP is NOT NULL THEN
    v_valid := FALSE;
    END IF;
    return v_valid;
    END;
    My problem is it is returning FALSE for all the cases.It works fine in SQL Command though..When I tried to Debug and use Firebug, I found that Text fields are not stored a null by default but as empty strings "" . Now I tried modifying my PL/SQL to check Private_IP against an empty string. But doesn't help. Can someone please tell me how I need to proceed.
    Thanks

    See SQL report for LIKE SEARCH I have just explained how Select list return value works..
    Cheers,
