  • Buying additional RAM

    I want to buy additional RAM for a brand new iMac.
    1. Is there anything in particular I should be looking for when buying more RAM? Do I just get anything that says "1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM "? Is there a particular brand, etc.?
    2. What is considered the going price for (2x8GB) for the new iMac?
    Thanks.

    1. Is there any advantage to the Crucial brand vs. OWC?
    2. I want to buy the new iMac with the least amount of RAM possible 2x4GB, try it out, and add more RAM as needed. Is there a way to measure when I could benefit from the additional RAM? Some way to measure how much is being used while having Photoshop, Premiere, etc. running?
    Thanks.

  • Tried unsuccessfully to restore my MBP, running the Mac OSX Lion, to factory settings. I keep getting the "can't download additional components for the Mac OSX Lion" error when reinstalling the OSX Lion. Any tips on how to resolve this problem?

    Hello! Tried unsuccessfully to restore my MBP, running the Mac OSX Lion, to factory settings. I keep getting the "can't download additional components for the Mac OSX Lion" error when reinstalling the OSX Lion. Any tips on how to resolve this problem?

    Hi
    Given that your answer to 1. is 'pre-installed' and 3. is 'No', I think the only thing to do is to take it to an Apple store (ideally the one you bought it from) and have them reinstall it for you.
    The intended solution in cases like yours is that you should be able to reboot and install even a wiped disk by using Apple's servers over the internet (you do this by restarting with 'command-r' and choosing 'reinstall Lion'). However if this isn't working for you then you need to get the store to do it. Don't let them fob you off with 'go home and try again'. Have them do it in the shop (you're still covered by Applecare warranty so it should cost you nothing save the inconvenience of the trip and possibly leaving the machine there while they fix it).
    A reinstall should leave all your own personal data and programs in place.
    Note for future: when you get it fixed, first thing to do is buy a cheap external drive and start keeping a backup (either Time Machine or clone with Carbon Copy Cloner).

  • Im thinking about buying OWC ram for my macbook pro.

    Im thinking about buying OWC ram for my macbook pro but dont know if it will have negative affects on my computer, should i do it?

    Only if you install it wrong or use the wrong RAM.

    Use the free Crucil.com checker to doublecheck if you need too.
    You don't want Apple to do it, they quoted me $435 to upgrade $70 worth of RAM.
    Do it yourself or have a local geek friend (PC or Mac) do it, it's not hard, unles you got bad eyesight and can't see the tiny screws. Use a catch mat, follow proper anti-static and handling. (touch only plastic)
    Break something inside, your on your own though. No warranty coverqge or AppleCare for self inflicted damage.

  • Any recommendations for buying a printer for my Mac Book Pro

    Looking to buy a printer for my Mac Book Pro!! Any recommendations???

    Any will work. "AirPrint" compatible printers will work even better, since they require no setup whatsoever, and will even work with iOS devices  (and with some compatible android/windows phones) you might end up buying.

  • Want to buy more ram for my macbook pro. What to buy?

    +Model Name: MacBook Pro+
    +Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo+
    +Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz+
    +Total Number Of Cores: 2+
    +Memory: 4 GB+
    I am looking to buy more ram for my macbook, but I don't know what to look for. Do I have to buy 2x 4GB and get rid of my old ram or I can buy 2 x 2GB and use them all together?
    Also, same with HD. I need more HD as well. Can I install another harddrive as well?
    Message was edited by: Strato222

    There are only 2 slots for RAM. So, you'd need to replace one of the 2 GB sticks with a 4 GB stick for a total of 6 GB, or replace both for a total of 8 GB.
    Yes, you can replace the HDD with a larger one as well. There are instructions in the manual.

  • Shall I buy Office 365 for my Mac? or wait for Office 2014 for Mac? Will it make a difference to SkyDrive - please help!

    Hello, 
    I work for a small business and we want to have a space where we can save and share documents with each other and with our clients. The questions I am asking may be simple but I can't seem to find the answers anywhere and just need simple answers back please. 
    Firstly - Do I buy Office 365 for my Mac or do I wait for ' Office 2014 for Mac'? If so how long do you think it we be until it is released? 
    - If I buy Office 365 - does it have skydive? Can I create a document on my computer, save it on skydive and invite a colleageue to view it, she then alters it and saves it? Will this new document then be saved on my skydive folder on my Mac? 
    If I wait for Office 2014 - do we know if this we have a better/ different sky drive function? 
    Please help! 

    According to your requirment, Office 365 for small business or higher plan suits you. We don't need to wait for ' Office 2014 for Mac' but join family of Office 365 for now.
    Advantage:
    Office applications: Subscription to Office for up to 5 PCs/Macs per user.
    Office Web Apps: Create and edit Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote files via a web browser.SkyDrive Pro gives each user 25 GB of personal storage they can access from anywhere and that syncs with their PC. Easily share files internally and
    externally and control who sees and edits them.

  • 168 Pin RAm for Power Mac

    Does anyone know if MT8LD864AG-6 168 pin DIMM is compatible with the RAM for Power Mac 8500 120MHz and Power MAc 7200 120 MHz?
    Thank you in advance for your advice.

    Hi Robert,
    The ZIF processor upgrade I have in my Beige G3 MT (300 mHz originally) is a Sonnet G3/500--I wish it were a G4! I installed it when I still had OS9. It stayed in place when I installed Jaguar and, later, Panther.
    As Grant mentions, I used a third-party helper program called XPostFacto, "XPF" for short. Installing "unsupported" Panther with XPF was far easier than installing the "supported" Jaguar and the computer is now more stable.
    T'was Grant who talked me into trying Panther. Now I can't believe I waited so long! I used an older version of XPF, version 3.1, at Grant's suggestion. V3.1 seems to be the "sweet spot" for installing Panther. Some Beige G3 owners have successfully installed 10.4.x with later version of XPF but more users have reported stability issues than with 10.3.
    If you are interested in learning more about the upgrade paths available to the Beige G3, there is a very active forum area here:

  • Is this the correct type of Ram for a mac mini?

    I have a 2007 Mac mini, and want to go from 1gig to 2 gigs of Ram.
    I currently have 2 512's
    I need to know 2 things. (i'm pretty sure on both but i'm not a huge hardware guy to bare with me)
    1. Will there be any compatibility problems? I.e if i upgrade to 2 gigs will it even help or because the rest of the computer is not being upgraded will it be useless?
    2. If i'm good to go, Is this the correct type of Ram? http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=4E665783A5CA7304
    Not sure if these are needed but will post anyway:
    Model Name: Mac mini
    Model Identifier: Macmini2,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 4 MB
    Memory: 1 GB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz
    Type: DDR2 SDRAM
    Thank you in advance <3

    NO, it will NOT work.
    You have to find the memory specific for Mac, and rule of thumb, Mac Intel chips usually take "ECC" memory. On occasions, You can get away with Non-ECC (on certain PPC Power Mac G5 towers) -- You can check on-line stores, like Newegg, Tigerdirect, or Goolge search for the Mac Mini memory. I got mine (for my two Mac 2,1) on line, and I put 4G (2x 2G), although only 3G was available.
    It is worth of upgrade it. just need to find the right memory.

  • HT4933 i want to buy additional space for my i phone

    i want to buy additional Space one year not for 1 month . can you help me ?

    Additional iCloud storage is now charged on a monthly basis - once started it will debit your card automatically each month until cancelled. There is now no longer an annual payment option.
    Just to clarify something which sometimes causes confusion - though likely enough you do understand this - the space you buy is on the iCloud server. It is no additional storage space on the phone.

  • Buy additional license for elements and premiere elements 8 bundle?

    Can I buy an additional license for my Elements 8 and Premiere elements 8 bundle or do I have to buy a whole new package?
    I just purchased this bundle and even before I got home my teen daughter had it loaded on her laptop.  I wanted to load it on my laptop and my main computer.
    If I can buy a license how do I do that?
    Thanks for any help
    Janice

    If both your daugther and you need to work on elements products, then I would sugesst you to buy a new serial number.
    You dont necessarily need to buy a PEPE bundle again, say if you daugther if just using PSE and you need to use PSE and PRE both, then you need to buy a serial number only for PSE as PRE anyway you are using only on 2 machines.
    For buying a new serial number, what you can do if just install PSE and PRE on you laptop with the current serial number you are having. When prompted that this serial number is already used on two machines, then click on the link to buy a new serial number on the same screen. Until then, i believe you are safe because that means may be your daugther is just using PRE and you just PSE or vice versa.
    Hope this helps.

  • Buying 2GB RAM for Macbook

    I'm buying a Macbook soon and want to buy the RAM first so I can put it in asap. I read a lot of good things about OWC on these forums, but have noticed that the price of their 2GB package has gone up from $160 to $225 over the last few weeks. Crucial sounds great but is WAY out of my price range. What are my options? I saw some decently priced RAM on NewEgg (Patriot, G.Skill) The G.Skill actually is looking pretty good from the user reviews...
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRatingReview.asp?Item=N82E16820231066

    I bought two gigs of OWC Ram that has been working perfectly. It comes with an "Advanced Replacement Lifetime Warranty" which is nice. I paid for express shipping and got it the next day. It seated easily and has been running at 667MHZ the entire time.
    The price has come down $5 to $219:

  • Do i have to buy lion again for other macs

    do i have to buy lion again for my other macs?

    Just sign on to the App Store using the same AppleID and look at the Purchased tab.  You can download and install from there on the other Macs. 
    You can avoid multiple downloads by copying the Install OSx Lion app to an external drive.  This must be done before the install process completes because it's deleted from the apps directory as the last step.  You can then use that for your other Macs without another 4 Gig download.

  • Do I need to buy extra security for my Mac lion

    Do I need to buy antivirus for my Mac lion. If so which one

    There is progressively more malware coming out for OS X; however, it is still minuscule in comparison to other platforms. Right now the need for a malware scanner depends on your uses, but it's not a bad idea to have one and keep it updated. You do not need to enable all of its features and have it always scanning every file you use, but if you have it scan the system once a week or even once a month, and then only scan downloaded files then you should be good to go.

  • What about Kingston 8Gb RAM for latest Mac mini?

    Hello!
    I want to make memory upgrade for my unibody Mac mini with 2.4GHz processor. http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configuratornew/modelsinfo.asp?id=1&SysID=64063&mfr=Apple&model=Macmini+%28DDR3%29+Core+2+Duo+2.4%2F2.66%28Mid+2010%29&searchtype=&root=ru&LinkBack=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kingston.com%2Frussia&Sys=64063-Apple-Ma c+mini+%28DDR3%29+Core+2+Duo+2.4%2F2.66%28Mid2010%29&distributor=0&submit1=Search - here I have found memory marked especially for my Mac mini. I wondered if any of you used this memory and can you tell me something about how it works?
    Best

    Thanks for the answer, but I need to know how it works - I mean different models of RAM can work differently on Mac computers. Some people said that Hynix works more stable than Kingston. Some people say that if you install 8Gb of RAM there will some errors can be while work. I need to know how works Kingston 8Gb memory with the latest Mac mini
    All the best
