I wanted to get more RAM, but I want to be able to upgrade it later, can I install two different RAM cards?

I currently have 4GB in my Macbook Pro. I'm realizing that this isn't sufficient. I like to edit photos and have Photoshop, Lightroom, and a web browser open at the same time. I'm pretty sure that maybe 10GB of RAM will do (I'd buy one 8GB card and keep one of the 2GB cards already installed), so in case I would need to upgrade again I could buy another 8GB card. Is it possible to have two different sizes of RAM in the two bays?

Yes, you can have two different RAM sizes in the slots. Apple doesn't recommend that, but it works. If anything make sure the RAM is the same brand. You'll need the standard 1333MHz DDR3 memory. See HERE for info on installing the memory yourself.

Can I install two different RAM sizes in my Early 2011 Macbook Pro 2.0 GHz

I just bought me a 8 GB 1333 Mhz RAM for my Macbook Pro. I installed it in slot 2 and I installed the stock 2 GB RAM in slot 1. Is my decision good to have two different sizes RAM in my computer. It is showing me I have 10 GB RAM in my system, and I think my computer has become little faster, but t I had expected that it would be much more faster since I have 10 GB instead of 4 GB.

Boysovereign,
the speed of your MacBook Pro will only increase by installing additional RAM if the apps which you run were constrained by their previous amount of RAM. If they weren’t being constrained by the previous amount of RAM, then adding more RAM won’t affect the speed at which they run.
That being stated, you’ll suffer a minor performance hit by using two memory modules of different capacities; to maximize your MacBook Pro’s performance, you should install two memory modules of the same capacity.

I want to back up my iPad so I can changeover to the ipad2 but my pc doesn't have enough memory to allow me to update. I've deleted everything I can in order to get more memory but cannot is there any other way to do it?

I think you misunderstand... iCloud backups are stored in the cloud and not on the PC. So, if you do an iCloud backup, it won't take up room on the PC.
But, if you want to transfer the iTunes purchases over, set up Home Sharing. Also, see this link.

Okay, so we've eliminated the lack of space since you have plenty.
See the screenshot from my Mac here:
Page ins and page outs - post those (or just post the same type of screenshot). If you have a lot of those, that means that your machine needs to keep swapping RAM around to make the best of what is available which can result in slow responses.
Also post the total amount of RAM you have (in my case, I have 12 GB)
You free RAM of 221 MB is very, very low - I'm guessing you only have a total of 2 GB. If that is the case, I would absolutely max out the machine (if you don't know how much RAM you can put in, post your model number here so we can help with that).

HT201304 enough to get more things, but I cant remember the code. How do I fix this?

I set up a Restrictions code on my daughters ipod touch. Now she is old enough to get more things, but I cant remember the code. How do I fix this?

- That is the only unless you have abackup made before the Restrictions were set up. In that case you can restore from backup.
- To save/transfer app data such as saved games see:

Get more Ram or new computer?

I have an iMac G5 with 1 GB (I think) of RAM. I run programs like InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and find myself watching the spinning rainbow more than I am getting any work done. Would getting more RAM help my computer run faster or do I have to resort to getting a new computer? Any help provided would be greatly appreciated!
This is what shows under my RAM window...
DIMM0/J4000:
Size: 512 MB
Type: DDR SDRAM
Speed: PC3200U-30330
DIMM1/J4001:
Size: 512 MB
Type: DDR SDRAM
Speed: PC3200U-30330

You have not maxed out your memory. Since you did not indicate which model iMac you have, see the following:
Rev A models - 2GB
Rev B (Ambient Light) - 2GB
Rev C (iSight) - 2.5GB
You can install the RAM yourself. Your user manual that came w/your computer has detailed instructions. Also see Article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300205 iMac G5 DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Instructions
As Miriam already stated, make sure that the RAM you purchase has a lifetime warranty.
MGW, the servers are wacky again.

How do i get more memory on my mac book air? is says that i can add 2 more gig how?

how do i get more memory on my mac book air? is says that i can add 2 more gig ??? or wat files can i delete

Macbook Air memory is soldered to the logicboard.
You can only get 4GB or 8GB (2012 Models) in the Air when you order it that way. Otherwise, you're stuck with 2GB.
Unless you're talking about hard drive space - then it is upgradeable - click HERE to see which one corresponds to your model.

My deceased brother's IPad was given to me but it is locked and passcode protected. I do not want access to the data on it, but would like to be able to use it. Can it be unlocked and reset to factory settings? Thanks!

You can try this: If you can't update or restore your iOS device
If he had not turned on Find My iPad then it will work, if he had you will run into Activation Lock. If you do run into it you can take a copy of the will (or probate finding if he died without one) and/or a Letter Testamentary and ask if they can look up where he purchased it. If they can, and you have the other documents, they can reset it for you.

Can you sync two different apple calendars? My husband and I want to better manage our family.

My husband and I wish to sync our apple calendars. Is it possible to do so? We have 2 separate apple Id's. Tried google but seems to sync from google to Iphone calendar but not the other way. I much prefer apples calendar because of the functions available but my husband and I need to see one another's schedules. Any help out there ? Can you sync two different users calendars via the calendar that comes with Apple products?

You each need an iCloud account and to sync your iCal calendars with iCloud. Then you can each share a calendar or calendars privately, so only available to the other, who would be able to edit it, or not, depending on your settings. Please see this page:
