I know its old but

is there a real improvment if i go from 2 gb of ram to the maxium allowed by my machine which is 3 gb ... ?

"Real improvement" is relative, depending on what you're doing. If you are RAM-limited, then yes, it will make a difference.
Check in Utilities > Activity Monitor > System Memory tab. If the sum of Free and Inactive memory is low, then you are using most of your RAM, and more will help. (Note: it's the sum of Free and Inactive that matters - it's fine if Free is low.) If your available RAM is not low, adding more won't benefit you that much.
A single 2 GB stick is pretty cheap now, though.
Hope this helps...

  • I have an original iPhone. With latest version of iTunes, 10.5, it doesn't sync anymore.  I know its old but does anyone know what happened?

    I have an original iphone.  With the latest version of itunes, 10.5, it no longer syncs.  The name of my device doesn't appear in itunes just a gneric iphone.  I know its old and apple no longer provides updates to ios but taking away my ablilty to sync is hard to believe.  Any suggestions

    Did you do a backup of iOS before you changed iTunes?
    I would do a reverse and go back to the old iTunes, then update your iPhone and then update iTunes.
    Version 4.x of iOS has been out forever, update, update, update.....it is very important to maintain compatability in hardware & software devices/pcs'/Macs.

  • My Macbook Pro 2010 is very slow, I know its old but can I speed it up?

    I have had my Macbook pro for nearly 4 years so I expect it to have slowed down, but now its getting ridiculous and difficult to use. Does anyone have any ideas on how to speed it up? I have removed all my larger files and the most memory is now take up by my music on I tunes. Aside from buying a new one which I would love to do but cant afford can anyone offer any suggestions to speed it up?
    Thanks.

    I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2010 Model.
    My machine is working better than ever since I installed an 8Gb RAM Upgrade and Upgraded the HDD only yesterday. My drive had developed an error and was causing it to be very sluggish. I posted this somewhere else a little earlier:
    Quote:...
    My Mid 2010 Macbook Pro was getting sluggish even after installing 8Gb of RAM sometime ago. During a verbose boot I noticed an I/O error on my primary drive. Rather than mess about trying to determine exactly why I did a quick search for sensibly priced standard disk drives. Large SSD's are out of my price range so I opted for a 1Tb Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid SSHD which is a standard drive with 8Gb of high quality flash built in.
    I swapped out the old drive and put it in a USB Caddy, installed the new drive, blew out all the dust and debris while doing so and reassembled. Booted into recovery from the old drive and reinstalled OSX Mavericks and then left the system to recover my files from the old drive.
    WOW!! What a difference!... The read/write is around 100Mb/s. Thats near twice the reading from the original MacBook drive and with the added flash on this new Seagate the boot up time is near the speed of SSD. These Seagate Hybrids are a little more expensive that the regular... but very well worth it.

  • Can i use itunes with my new Samsung tablet. i have an ipod mini (i know its old!) and we got rid of our computer in favour for the tablet but now i don't know how to download more songs!!??

    How can i connect my ipod mini to my new Samsung tablet?

    No, there is not iTunes for Android.  Actually, even if you had an iPad, there would be no way to sync an old iPod with it.  You need a computer (either a Mac or Windows PC) running iTunes to sync an iPod mini.

  • I know its Friday but please reply with some real time scenerios...

    Please let me know the kind of challenges you faced on your current project and the kind of approach you took to solve them...
    Regards by heart
    Bhalout

    Hi Bhalout
    We can say every project is a challenging one .... But one of the case i can explain is .........
    We are getting monthly data from source , but we need maintain that data in ODS according to Weeks.
    Example:
    CompanyCode| Month | Key Figure
    1000 | 200703| 100
    I have split the monthly records in to Weekly record when loading the data in to BW. This is done by selecting Return Table option in the update rules of a Key figure and a writing a start routine..........
    Example:
    ODS/Cube Data
    CompanyCode | CalMonth | Week | KeyFigure
    1000 | 200703 | 200709 |25
    1000 | 200703 | 200710 |25
    1000 | 200703 | 200711 |25
    1000 | 200703 | 200712 |25
    Hope this example works..........
    Some other challanges you can explain about are
    Query Performance issues when go live and you can explain about maintaining aggregates, data load issues such as failing of delta in a process chain .........and how you resolved those issues.
    One example is you can say Users want to see some special characters in the report and I used RSKC transaction to allow those special characters.........
    Mostly this question is a general question and I hope you can get more real time scenarios from sdn.......
    Assign Points If useful.......

  • I know its late, but I got the tracking number from Fed Ex!

    It says its "Not Found" on the site but it also does state the Memphis thing as well. Im in CA, hopefully they aren't coming out of Memphis..

    I'm having the SAME thing happen to me, i'm in Ky. Its aggravating. I would be happy if it just said it hasn't been shipped yet. I just get tired of seeing not found.

  • My kid id just starting to explore her voice. Are there formats of music that can be simply imported to Gband that she can then add her voice over. I know its Kereokeeish, but she is 7 and wants to tinker with recording. thanks for input.

    My kid is just starting to explore her voice. I was trying to find out is there a way to import insturmental versions of songs to Gband and then allow her to sing over the music. Essentially creatig a cover of the song with her voice that can later be tweaked in the Gband program. I know this is kereokeeish, but she is 6 and im brand new at Gband and have no studio backround. Very cool program but a little overwhelming so far. Thanks for any guidance.

    search for standard MIDI files, they can simply be dropped into the GB timeline and you can then assign instruments to each track.
    as well if you find any karaoke files in any of GB's supported formats:

    (Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
    you can drop them into the timeline as well

  • I tunes wont start up(yes i know its common =.=)

    yes i know its common but for me, i uninstalled bonjour and the application still does not start up. The same problem occurs like for most cases where itunes appeared on my task manager and then disappeared. help...

    many thanks.
    On a Windows 7 system, that suggests some application has stashed old QuickTime version 6.x componentry down in the system folders on the PC. (The ACE Mega Codec Pack and WinAVI Converter are the usual suspects with that.)
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    *If you have a 32-bit version of Windows,* open the "System32" folder.
    *If you have a 64-bit version of Windows,* open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Heres the deal my cuzin stold my ipods charger(the one to download music and charge in a usb port)well i found it in her room and she says its hers (but its not!) is thier a way to prove that the charger is mine ?? please help me find a way to prove it!

    like i said my cusin stold my charger and says its hers when i know its mine but is thier a way i can prove it to her? please help:( my ipod is dead ever scence and i want it back!

    i thought about going the same route you did, but when I started looking at the prices of everything, I decided it was a better idea to just get a new stereo that can play and charge my iPhone.
    After a lot of comparing, looking and price checking, I decided to go with the Alpine IDA-X100. This is a media player only device (no cd player built in) and it has been great. It has an awesome interface and dial setup that let's you go through your music just as if it were on an iPod. It even has a small color screen that displays the album artwork for you. My car has a factory BOSE system in it and the Alpine head unit even managed to improve the sound quality. Go see you local alpine dealer (or best buy) and check it out. The supplied cable charges the phone and plays music too. Your iPhone will give you an error message when you plug it in, saying that the accessory was not designed for iPhone, but if you just click no it works great.

    hi friends i have mac ibook g4 i know its a really old model but its perfectly fine it has installed mac os x 10.5.8 ok whenever i copy and paste anything it says no free space weather i copy from folder to desktop or from usb to mac plz help plz

    There is no download for 10.4.x or 10.5.x, there is a very slim chance you can get 10.5 by calling Apple, but usually you can only get it on eBay & such.
    Tiger Requirements...
    To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
        * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
        * Built-in FireWire
        * At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
        * DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
        * At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools  (I recommend 20GB minimum)

        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
    May be available from Apple again...

    No app on the iPod is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - If not shown/shown off, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • I want to update to LION,on my Macbook Pro duo core, (october 2006) because Adobe CC needs at least that. I know my computer is old, but works perfect to me and I do not want to stay in Adobe CS6 since I have access to Adobe Cloud CC. Please help.

    I probably dont want to go to Mountain Lion either because I've heard that it will slow down my computer, So, Lion 10.7 will be the perfect OS X for me.
    I have ne newest release of Snow Leopard installed and works great.
    Thank you ALL for your help.

    you will be ok updating to the new software but there will be some trade off. i have 3 macbooks 2006 that are all running the latest versions.
    some of the trade off are
    1-2 less of battery life
    slow wake ups from sleep
    slower start up time about 30-40 seconds longer then what you have now
    the operating system will use high % of your processer while idealing
    these are not the things you want to hear about a new os compared to the old one but this is how it is even with a new macbook pro. but it's not the end of the world. just make sure you have at least more then 2GB of ram and have a good harddrive and you will be ok.
