Creating an Aperture web page from photos the page goes white and nothing displays. Is this a RAM issue?

I have just purchased an iMac 27" 2.7GHZ running OSX 10.7.4 with 4GB RAM (16 GB has been ordered). I am using Aperture 3.3.2. When I attempt to create a web page from photos the page goes white and nothing displays. Is this a RAM issue?

I have resolved the issue....turns out that, in my case, running OSX 10.8.1 with Aperture 3.3.2 was what was required! I was running Aperture 3.3.2 with OSX 10.7.x and had this issue.
I hope this helps someone else as well.

Try to boot in Safe mode, see if you are able: Hold down shift and then power on. For wireless keyboards, hold down shift after the chime.

2007 Intel iMac with sleep/wake issues

Subject: 2007 Intel iMac, 2GHz, 4GB RAM, 10.5.6
I'm having difficulty troubleshooting this one and would greatly appreciate any advice/help. Basically this iMac will develop all kinds of problems over night. It will be put to sleep in the evening and in the morning it will be off or it won't wake from sleep. I don't think it's a power issue, as other computers aren't affected.
If you manually turn it off and then on again, it won't recognize the startup volume. Usually at this point nothing will work except Diskwarrior will find and repair some errors and it will work again for the rest of the day, but come morning, the problems return.
I've replaced the memory, changed all peripherals, completely rebuilt the OS (clean install), even replaced the battery backup unit. I've reset the PRAM and the SMC, ran surface scans on the hard drive, as well as all available tests in Tech Tool and Rember. Nothing found. SMART status is clear.
It seems to only happen over night. If I put it to sleep mid-day, it'll wake just fine, although perhaps there's a difference between that short sleep and its nightly slumber which is the key??
I don't think there's a software issue because the person who uses it basically only uses Mail, Safari, Firefox, and occasionally iWork apps. I'll put the latest crash report in a follow-up post, but I don't quite understand its contents and I'm hoping it will provide a clue which someone can help me with.
Thanks for reading this far - I look forward to any responses!

Here's the latest crash report. It seems to have originated after sunday night's crash, which is why it shows 10.5.4, which was installed by combo update yesterday. Last night's crash doesn't seem to have a report...

RAM Issues: 4GB installed, 1GB showing After blinking light

Hey Folks,
After doing some research online I found that my recent issue, which has come up in the past, was probably a RAM seating issue. The issue where the Fan begins running loudly at hyper speed. I forced a shut down, restarted up and saw no issue. Shortly there after the issue returned. I forced a shut down once more, but this time was met with a blinking power light.
I remembered from past experience that it was a sign of RAM issues so I unplugged, unseated and reseated all four of the RAM on my cards. Initial start up was met with same response. In fact it wasn't until the 6th or 7th seating and reseating, and RAM position switch that I got the computer to start back up. (The initial successful start up was with one card and what should have been 2GB.) I checked the About this Mac.. and saw Memory listed as 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM. The 1GB threw me off because at that moment there should have been 2.
Shortly there after I backed some things up and tried reseating the other card with the other 2 gigs in it. This time I was able to start up however the System still shows the Memory as 1GB 667 MHz...
I did notice a single red light on one of the cards and am curious if this is trying to tell me anything, or if this is an indication of a poor installation. Also looking for any advice on why the computer is not seeing all 4 gigs, and if some of them may be out of service.
Any advice would be much appreciated, and please pardon my lingo because I'm not sure all my wording is correct.
Thanks

Failed RAM.
Stop beating yourself up over insertion technique. These things get mighty hot and they FAIL.
If they have a reseller's sticker on them, like Otherworld computing or 1-800-Memory or such, call them and ask for lifetime warranty replacements. Otherwise, think hard about how much RAM you really need and go buy some.

RAM ISSUES A215-S7407 - PSAFGU-01V002 SUSPEND MODE ERROR WITH 4GB RAM

Hi, im having some troubles with my laptop.
Because it comes only winth 1GB RAM (512MB x 2) i decided to give it an upgrade to 4GB (Max Capcity) according to specifications details on the support site. So i bought two (2) DIMM Modules KINGSTON 2GB 667MHZ, exact model # KVR667D2S5/2G Everything was working fine until i close the lid and it suspend.
Normally, when i open the lid, it will wake up, and everything will work fine, BUT NOW when it wakes up i have distorted sound and horizontal lines on screen, and sometimes i get a BSOD (BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH) and it restart itself.
TEST THAT I MADE:
ONLY 1 DIMM of 2GB - IT SUSPEND AND WAKES UP NORMALLY (I tested both Dimms 2GB separately)
1 DIMM 2GB / 1 DIMM 1GB (TOTAL 3GB) - IT SUSPEND AND WAKES UP NORMALLY
2 DIMMs 2GB (TOTAL 4GB) - IT SUSPEND AND WAKES UP WITH DISTORTED SOUND AND HORIZONTAL LINES ON DISPLAY.
It seems like the problem appears only with Max. Capacity (4GB) RAM and only when it suspend CLOSE THE LID (POWER LED CHANGE COLOR BLUE TO ORANGE AND FADES AND COMES).
With Hibernation, it works fine, the problem is when it suspend.
It looks that the problem is on the motherboard, maybe a NEW BIOS RELEASE that fix the situation.
I appreciate if somebody can speak to TOSHIBA SUPPORT DEVELOPER and ask them for an BIOS Update.
i know that im not the only one with this problem, there is another person that wrote a post "RAM ISSUES" and refers to the same situation, but as i guess, it wasn't solved at all.

Make sure you install the memory when the light is not flashing, i.e. completly off not sleeping.
What if you try adjusting - MSCONFIG/Advanced Options/Maximum Memory

RAM issues continued

Hey everyone!
I was just reading an archived post from around this time last year entitled "Strange RAM issue." I too have had a strange RAM issue and specifically with my G4 PowerBook (15", 1GHz) and OWC. I also wanted to upgrade from 512 to 1GB and could never get the machine to work at 1GB. I am currently in the process of sending back my third consecutive OWC brand RAM to them and they are finally going to send me some TechWorks memory that I'm hoping will work. I just can't believe...every single set of memory they've sent me has tested out "fine" to them either after I sent it back or in the latest case even before they sent it to me. But it never works in my computer and always fails the Rember test.
Their latest take on it is that the Rember test isn't always reliable and that it's probably a problem with the memory port in the computer in that it won't accept outside (aka non-Apple) memory. What are some people's thoughts on this? Is it possible that the memory port could work just fine with the original computer's RAM and not with new RAM? Is there any truth to Rember not being all that reliable of a test? (If so, why would they have you use it?)
I'm really getting frustrated with OWC and I was wondering if that's just me or have other people had this same problem?

APPLE HAS A RECALL for this! READ BELOW AND SAVE SOME MONEY!!!!
Anyone with these issues needs to see this link. Apple has a recall going for G4 15" AL PBs because one of the two RAM slots die. Mine has been "fixed" twice under this program. There's a number to call to get started. Be forewarned, the person on the end of that phone is not the sharpest tool in the tool box. I had to show him where the recall was on Apple's site and how to interpret it. He had to keep putting me on hold to check with a Powerbook Expert (his title was only Powerbook Specialist). They send you a nice prepaid DHL 24 hr turn around shipping box. First time was great. Second time it came back covered in sticky. greasy fingerprints and the metal around the case screws has been badly scratched. I'm still waiting for Apple to address this but since they found 3rd party RAM in my PB, this is my punishment. FWIW, if you let it go in the broken state too long, bad things could happen. Something from the corrupted RAM wrote to my HD and ended up causing all sorts of issues. A reformat and reinstall was the only cure. Here's the link: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303173
A few private repair places on the web get over a grand for this repair. The repair is a complete new main logic board exchange. Big bucks.

Been using an X-Fi Xtreme Audio with 4GB RAM for ages, no issues.
I purchased and installed a zotac 9600 GT which has GB onboard ram, which works fine, but now my X-Fi has started causing general system instability. (processes using heaps of CPU time whilst apparently doing not much, jerky/slow adobe flash, distorted (slow-motion) audio at random times, etc etc.
In the support section here it says:
Audio issue from output from soundcard with computer having 4GB RAM:
<span class="text">
Keywords: <font>4GB ram, installation, xfi, x-fi
Summary: Customers with computers having <font>4GB or above of RAM and are experiencing audio issues, please download the latest driver for your sound card.
However... When this issue first came up I formatted my primary dri've, reinstalled the OS and downloaded the latest drivers for EVERYTHING. The problem has prevailed..
It was only yesterday that I tracked down this problem in the support section here, and tried to verify that my driver is indeed the latest. But device manager lists the driver as "6.0.0.209" when in the support section here the downloads are named ".xx.xxxx" or something. How can I confirm that I have the latest driver? In any case, I'm almost certain that I have the latest, and this issue is still occuring.
I have read in other forums that on other varients of my X-FI card, the latest drivers have not solved this problem either.. sorry I cant be more accurate than that.
For now, I have solved this problem by simply removing 2GB of ram from my PC. Obviously, I'd like to find a solution and put the other 2GB back in!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Could DanielK please mod this as well, so we can try them. Or Daniel, you could you please tell me how you modified the previous drivers from auzentech as I dont know how these CL drivers work and are modified. What is the inf in these drivers, and if you could tell me the deviceID?s of all the x-fi models, or atleast for x-fi xtreme music as it is my modell. Thx in advance!
EDIT:
I have modified the drivers, was not so hard after all. Im uploading the file now, which should have support for all X-FI cards thanks to Daniel's great job with the earlier version.
Upload finished in 4-5minutes. I will post with link soon to rapidshare!

IBook G4 2005 onboard RAM issue

Good day Apple Geeks!
I have 3 iBooks with onboard RAM issue and I'm trying to fix them. I've found that Open Firmware may help but I don't know how to disable onboard RAM.
Source: http://web.archive.org/web/20070112065215/http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/osx/ar ch_boot.html
I've found also that it is possible to disable RAM by disabling 3 pins, but I can't manage where are these pins.

Please help me and save my computers.
Best reagards

Hey Daniel,
First it would be helpful to know exactly which iBooks you're talking about.
CPU speed, screen size, OS and RAM installed.
So how do you know the all three have onboard RAM issues? Does system profiler just show the 0 slot as empty?

V11 firmware RAM issues...what worked for me

I think everyone that has upgraded to the v11 firmware has by now noticed the RAM issues in the v11 firmware for the N95 (At least in the European generic firmware).
The cause of this problem appears to be the 23 or so programs the firmware installs into the phone memory that are all related to the "Search" application on the phone.
I uninstalled them all and the RAM problems went away.
To get rid of them go to Tools > Application Manager and uninstall everything you see related to search.
While I was at it I got rid of Snakes, the System Rush game and the settings and welcome wizards.
Note that this will remove the Search application from your phone entirely so do so at your own risk.
An alternative is to move it to your memory card if you wish.

The problem you are having is a DNS issue.
Somewhere along the line your DNS address(s) became deleted from the network System Preferences for your 'active' connection (e.g Airport). It probably was set to default to your local (home) router.
This basically means that safari can not find the web site you attempt to load, so it waits for a very long time.
You can add in the DNS address(s) by either going to System Preferences / Network and selecting your active network connection / DNS tab. OR you can go to Safari Preferences / Advanced and then click the "advanced" button which will take you to the System preferences panel.
The DNS server is provided by your ISP in most cases, or you can use the "Open DNS" servers at 208.67.222.222, & 208.67.220.220.

Can my iMac g5 2gb ram intel core 2 duo 2.16 ghz processor support OSX 10.6?

I am looking to upgrade for needs of music production. I need help to figure out if my computer iMac g5 2gb RAM and an intel core 2 duo processor 2.16ghz can handle it?

"Mutually exclusive," meaning one can't exist at the same time as the other. If you have an Intel Mac, you don't have a G5 iMac. A G5 is PPC (Power PC) and can't install Snow Leopard.
But I'd max out the RAM. 2GB is bare bones and you won't go very far with that, especially if you're going to be running some memory consuming music production applications.

Green frames on timeline. RAM issue? GPU issue?

Hi guys!
Have anyone experienced that?
These green frames at timeline. After that my Program Monitor freezes and crashes and soon after Premiere too. There is no wat out. It freezes and doesn't close.
I am using Premier Pro CC 2014 at Windows 7 Home Premium.
Another thing: Adobe recommend 8GB of RAM and I have these 8GB and constantly apears RAM low memory, sometimes it crashes just after the message. It can be a low RAM issue? So why Adobe recommend 8GB if it's not enough?
Maybe GPU? It is a GT540m with all drivers updated and working well on non-Adobe softwares.
Thanks!

Thank you for your prompt answer.
I have just read the article you linked over.
Had read one of 'em earlier but they're interesting to understand how Mavericks work, I still have some points of interrogation.
If we consider the figue on how memory compression works, it seems like it is all good but it still doesn't account for why I am using more memory for the same runing processes. I mean, in my case it does not free up memory in the general sense, it litteraly eats memory and THEN frees it up when needed. And why devices use more than twice the memory than others.... this is nuts to me.
I forget to mention a few things. A friend of mine has the exact same configuration of mbpr. And here is what's crazy, he doesn't seem to use any comparable ram amount than I do, even when I lauch it all out on his mac he never uses more than 5gigs....although we had no internet connection at the time so I assume that might be the reason why ram usage was less important, I really don't know.
I know activity monitor ram monitoring comprises file cache too but when I run the 'top' command in terminal, it is kinda the same, just a bit lower let's say the 1 to 3 gigs of file cache that is taken into account in activity monitor and not in temrinal.
Anyways, I guess I'll will keep faith in apple technology as I can't pretend there is any performance drop that I was able to observe.... even with a bad taste in mouth that something is wrong that I can't point my finger at

IMac 20", 2Gb Ram, 256Mb GPU

Nooooo 4 days... harsh!
Just bought a new 20" iMac with 2Gb Ram and the 256Mb GPU.
Has anyone else got this configuration? How is it?
I only use native Apps so it should be sweet!
Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I have the same exact setup...it is SWEET! I upgraded from a 17" G4 iMac (1.25Ghz/1GB RAM) WOW...what a difference. You are totally going to love this machine. Even if you do dabble with some non native apps, I have found all of them to run faster than they did on my old machine, so it is still way faster for me overall.

N95 + CoPilot 7 - Possible RAM issue

Hello,
I have had my N95 for a couple of weeks and I must admit I love the phone in every way. However I am noticing a small issue when running CoPilot and was wondering if this sounds like a RAM issue.
Basically when the app is running sometimes it seems to just lockup (usually if rereouting), occasionally the app will close (especially if I get a message through) or even reboot the whole phone.
I have installed Handy Taskman and I have noticed that when it all goes wrong I have about 100k of free RAM which would suggest that the phone is running low on memory (or very close to it).
Now unfortunatly I only seem to have 13Mb available at the best of times but I am also on a T-Mobile handset running v12 (before demmand paging and the RAM boost).
Spoke to T-Mobile about the updates to v20 and v21, they have no release date. Altough I have noticed that the T-Mobile site no longer has the N95+CoPilot option since they have moved to v7, which is puzzling, maybe the lack of the v20 update means that the app does not run that well, although that is just speculation on my part.
Anyway, I really like the N95 but this memory issue is bugging me. I am considering sending the phone back to T-Mobile and buying a SIM free one so I can update it. Tried local Nokia service center and I already have the latest software for my phone (v12).
If I do get a phone with v20 (or v21) how much extra RAM will I get, and more importantly how much free memory? If I say CoPilot needs about 14Mb - 15Mb free to run well am I likely to get this with the latest software from Nokia?
I know there are ways to get the latest updates on my phone but I don't want to risk it, would much rather send this one back and buy one from Nokia.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Lee

Send it back to T-Mobile and buy directly from Nokia.
N-95 8GB, Wish Nokia made a 3G World Phone.
Release a 3G HSPDA 850/900/1800/1900/2100 and Quad Band GSM phone instead!

Mixing iMac/MacBook Pro RAM

Is it possible to take 1 GB of my iMac Core Duo RAM and add it to the existing 1 GB in a MacBook Pro? Basically, are the RAM modules identical? Thank you for your help.
iMac (Intel) 2.0 2GB 256MB Mac OS X (10.4.5)

No, they're different sizes.
I don't believe that is correct. It was true that earlier PPC-based iMac models used different RAM than their laptop counterparts, but it appears that the MBP and Intel iMac share the same motherboard design right down to the RAM slots.
It is possible that there's physically less space in the MBP and that it mandates a smaller profile, but I don't believe that's the case. Certainly the price and specifications from the online vendors I've checked are identical for the two systems.
