Imac intel ( i think is a middle 2007) ram 667 for 800 is possible?

hi i have a little problem ^^
i have buyed 1 new slot of ram from apple store of 2 gb 800 mhz ddr2 etc etc , i had 2 ram of 1 gb 667mhz ddr2 etc etc (is an i mac intel from middle 2007 if i remember well ), now i have installed 1 of 1gb 667mhz and one of 2 gb 800 mhz.
now i have buyed another ram 2gb 800 mhz because with snow leopard o would have a total of 4 gb.
the question is : have i made a stupid thing? because i'm not sure that my imac could support a bank of 800 mhz (i have tryed to install only the ram of 800 mhz but the machine didn't start)
so help help help i have to know if i have to send back my new ram or i could install it ^^
ty for help and support
joey
p.s: sorry for my bad english.-.-,

There were two iMac models where the system bus speed and the RAM speed were mismatched: the Mid '07 iMac with bus speed of 800 GHz, but RAM speed of 667 GHz; and the Early '08 iMac, with bus speed of 1066 GHz and RAM speed of 800 GHz. These two machines appear to cause a lot of confusion with Apple employees, because many folks report being misdirected by Apple employees to purchase the incorrect RAM. (Or perhaps misinformed employees of 3rd party Authorized Apple venders. Some folks confuse 3rd party venders of Apple products with being Apple!)
Those users who have been steered to the wrong RAM speed report that their iMac will usually function with one RAM bar of the faster, incorrect speed, plus one with the correct speed, but that it will not usually function with two RAM bars of the incorrect speed.
An interesting side fact is that Apple reports both these machines as topped out with a maximum of 4 GB of RAM (2 x 2 GB). However, it is now a well established fact that both machines can address 6 GB of RAM (1 x 2 GB + 1 x 4 GB). This is reported by MacTracker, Other World Computing and a poster here in the iMac Intel forums. Dave has provided screenshots of his Mac's Activity Monitor showing the Mac addressing and allocating the use of 6 GB of RAM. He owns one each of the Mid '07 and the Early '08 and reports that 6 GB of RAM has breather new life into both machines.

  • Imac (Intel) 2.66mz 24inch Can I increase RAM?

    Hi
    I have an Imac(Intel) from 2009/2010 and am, I believe, almost at the current RAM limit. I was looking to increase the RAM having been told by the Apple store (when I purchased the machine) how easy it was. I checked the Apple Store site to buy RAM but it says 'not available for this family'. How do I increase RAM?
    Thank you.
    Running OS X Mavericks

    I do not recommend you to buy RAM from the Apple Online Store. It is too expensive and it is the same RAM you can buy from other sources.
    First of all you need the exact iMac model you have. To check this, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and you will see your iMac model below "iMac".
    Then, buy the RAM for your iMac model. I recommend you to buy it at OWC or Crucial

  • Crashing Imac intel duo 2.0. with deep buzzer sound

    I've been working on a imac intel duo 2.0 gig (4 gigs ram, 250 hd) and It's been driving me crazy as it crashes between 2 and 5 times a day. I'm doing constant photo shooting and processing from capture pro to photoshop, but the files are all pretty small- like 8-12 megs each, and I have to say that I've used these programs for years and found them to be extremely stable. There is still like more than half of the hard drive available for files, and I try to keep it that way by pulling old files off it to an external drive.
    Often the machine will crash while in a finder type function often early in the day, before I've even opened any photo files or apps. Usually it just freezes. Rarely it will have a screen black out, and when that happens, I hear the deep buzzing sound that must signify something- I don't know what.
    I've tried running the apple disc utility, and repairing the permissiions from there, but it hasn't really helped. I've disconnected and reconnected the camera, the external hard drive, my Wacom tablet, nothing really helps. Now that I think of it, I haven't replaced the mouse- could that possibly be the cause?
    Oh well, any wisdom on this topic would be appreciated, especially what is that loud buzzer trying to tell me.
    Thanks-TD

    You are right it's not an available space issue so now I'm beginning to agree with Allan. If you don't know how to run AHT, please click the Hardware Test link. Run it in Extended Mode too, not using Extended Model does not test very thoroughly. If it reports back with no errors run AHT 2-3x in Extended Mode to be sure. This test is time consuming so start it and come back in about 40 - 60 minutes. If it reports errors then you can either Google them or post them here and someone will try to interpret them. However whatever the error is you should write it down and bring the machine in for service at your local Apple Store or AASP.

  • IMac Intel and Office

    Is anyone having problems after installing Office 2004 on their IMac Intel? After slowing other applications down quite a bit, my IMac froze so I had to restart. Then, I got stuck on the intro gray screen with spinning gear. Called support and they advised me to perform Erase and Install. After Erase and Install, I started experiencing same problem symptoms. Now, I am unable to boot up and unable to get to my desktop! Called support and they said to do ANOTHER Erase and Install!!

    Thanks for the response! Did you do a Basic Insall when installing Office? I did a custom because I did not want to install MSN Messenger. Also, do you notice any slow down of other applications? I tried opening iMovie after installing Office, and I got the dreading spinning color wheel of death. Even basic tasks like opening a new Finder window would cause me to freeze up.
    Right now, I'm stuck between Apple Care telling me to call Microsoft because it's a "third party software issue" and Microsoft telling me it's a hardware issue.

  • Can I install Mac OS 10.4.7 CD's meant for an imac intel chip (Jan 2007)??

    Can I install Mac OS 10.4.7 CD's that came from an imac intel chip (Jan 2007) ONTO an ibook power pc G3? The ibook only has a CD drive and I believe the OS installs are CD's not DVD's as there are 2 of them. The ibook currently is running OS 10.3.9 with 23 GB on the HD at the moment. I may be able to free up some space though by dumping Microsoft Office. I know for sure I had 10.4.7 on there before but I got a used HD and there is only 10.3.9 on it. Sigh.

    Nope, sorry wont work, those are Machine & Architecture specific Install Discs.

    I have an old iMac and am thinking of getting an iMac intel. Do I need a different type of usb and firewire cords to work with the new one?

    What type of Firewire cable do you have?
    If our not sure then first look up your computer with the serial number here,

  • Does Kingston support iMac Intel 20" (Mid 2007) ???

    Hi there!
    I work on an iMac, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2,4GHz, 20 inch, (mid 2007), Part No MA877ZH/A.
    I want to upgrade this iMac's memory and I have a question on that.
    I want to buy a Kingston memory (4GB kit) but it doesn't seem to be the right one for my mac.
    In [this site|http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator_new/modelsinfo.asp?SysID=3974 2&mfr=Apple&model=iMacIntel+Core+2+Duo+20&root=&LinkBack=&Sys=39742-Apple-iMac+Intel+Core+2+Duo+20-inc h+%28Mid2007%29&distributor=0&submit1=Search] you can see in the supported models (Mfgr's System P/N's) that, Part Number MA877ZH/A is not supported!
    It says that supports only MA876B/A; MA876LL; MA877B/A; MA877LL !
    Can someone help me with that?
    Is that the right memory for my mac or I should find another one?
    It's not the first time that I'm upgrading a Mac's memory, but it's the first time that I can't choose the most suitable one!
    Thank you for your time!

    Hello Nikos
    Yes, your iMac uses the same ram as the other MA877xx models! The ZH is either a limited release or special order iMac!

  • 20" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo Display problems.

    It was hard trying to sum up my problem for the thread title... so let me try and describe what I am experiencing a bit more clearly.
    I have recently acquired a 20" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo,2 GHz(aluminum body black plastic back)-with display issues...
    The problem is basically that there appears to be no happy middle ground in regards to contrast- it is either WAY too white or WAY too black... I would have to say it is more of an issue with CONTRAST than brightness, it appears that nothing I can do in calibrating the screen really matters.
    I have calibrated displays before and never had this sort of issue. It is pretty bad (for example): a royal blue appears as black or gray mac highlight color choice appears as black.... white and medium grays appear indistinguishable.
    all this in addition to the fact that there appears to be a gradient to the screen when you display a solid color neutral back ground, not too mention that it is VERY hard to look at this screen for very long and for what I do( 3D model making and texture creation) the display is pretty useless.
    I have read about similar issues with this model's screen at other sites, but most of the threads ended without being resolved and were more than a year old.
    This machine belonged to my in-laws and according to them, it always looked this way and when they took to back to the Apple store few weeks after purchasing it( brand new), they were told there was "nothing wrong with the display, it's supposed to look that way"... the machine was hardly used(just for iChating with our infant daughters), so I don't really think it is an issue with age or anything.
    Now here is the really weird part:
    I just upgraded the OS from 10.4 to 10.5 and when the machine first displayed the default 10.5 background(the Nebula one... blueish-pink with stars)... as it was going though the start up IT LOOKED RIGHT.
    Once everything was done and all my icons appeared- Boom! Back to ugly.
    I have noticed the same thing occur if I shut down the machine.
    Startup screen, the default (nebula)background(my choice of background) comes up... it looks fine, the icons start to show up... everything still looks good and then when everything is done... BAM! UGLY!
    I'm not sure what to make of this... any suggestions
    One last thing- I am VERY familiar with the default background for OS 10.5, I have used it on my iMac G5 for over 2 years. When I say the displayed "looked right" I mean, it looked like what I was used to and how it appears on other machines.
    Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

    mcgyver,
    If start up and shut down look correct then something is set or corrupt in the user options. To test this, add a new user and signon as them.
    Regards
    Edit: I don't use 10.5.8 anymore so the following suggestions are for 10.6.5.
    The things that may affect your display are:
    System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing Tab. Display: Make sure Enhance contrast slider is set to normal. Use grayscale is unchecked.
    System Preferences > Displays > Color tab > Display profile set to display or iMac. Whatever the default is on your system.

  • Migrate from iMac G5 w/Leopard to iMac (Intel) w/Tiger

    I'm giving my daughter my 2007 iMac Intel.  It came with Tiger and the upgrade dvd to Leopard, and I have since upgraded it to Lion.
    Her iMac G5 (PPC) is running Leopard.
    I erased the 2007 iMac so she would have a clean install from the backup of her G5.  However, I don't know how I can upgrade the Intel back to at least Leopard so I can migrate her data and they would both have the same OS for the transfer.  Can you transfer data from Leopard down to Tiger?  It doesn't seem like that would be a good idea.
    Can I just make a dummy account to do the Leopard upgrade and delete it later?  Will that affect the migration of her stuff, home folder, user name?
    Thanks, Sandy

    Well, Lion is not on either machine at the moment, if that matters.  The G5 is Leopard and the Intel is Tiger (I've got the upgrade dvd for Leopard).
    The G5 has the floating FW symbol on the screen.
    They are connected with a FW 400/800 cable.  The cable works as I used it to do a back up to SuperDuper! last night.
    On the new Intel, it did not take me to the Time Machine option as that isn't part of Tiger 10.4.  That was my main concern, how could I could install the upgrade to Leopard DVD without making a user account.  I thought once I made a user account I would not be able to migrate correctly from the G5 or a Time Machine backup.
    It only got me about 4 steps in...pick the language, options to transfer from another computer (from another partition or do nothing), attach FW and restart in target mode, and then the screen where it tells you it's looking for the target drive it may take 30 seconds or more.  That's where the message came into play.
    I'm wondering if I just set the new Intel up with her same user name/home folder, upgrade with the dvd to Leopard and then somehow try to do an erase and install with the Time Machine backup or the SuperSuper backup.
    She's in high school and doesn't have a lot on the current machine, maybe 90 GB used.  I think I can easily move folders she's made for school papers and stuff.  We share iTunes on my mac, so hers is not sync'd to, so nothing lost there. The biggest thing would be bookmarks and the iPhoto library (approx 2K pics).

  • Full Firewire Port Failure (three different machines : iMac Intel, iMac G5, Black Macbook)

    I'm experiencing a failure of all FireWire ports on all of my three machines. I believe this problem began with a faulty external, FireWire powered hard drive from G-Tech. Here are all my specs, followed by a rundown of the order of events that has lead to this situation, followed by the various troubleshooting I have done.
    Equipment :
    iMac Aluminum Intel - 24" Mid 2007 - running OsX 10.5.8 - currently 1 FW400 and 1 FW800 ports disabled
    iMac G5 - 20" - running OsX 10.5.8 - currently 2 FW400 ports disabled
    MacBook - 13" black Early 2008 - running OsX 10.5.8 - currently 1 FW400 port disabled
    2 500GB G-Drives (by G-Tech) - AC powered
    1 5TB G-RAID Drive (by G-Tech) - AC powered
    1 250GB G-Drive Mini (by G-Tech) - FW powered
    Initial Setup :
    1 500GB G-Drive connected directly to iMac Intel via FW800
    1 500GB G-Drive connected to first 500GB G-Drive via FW800 (daisy chained)
    1 250GB G-Drive connected to second 500GB G-Drive via FW400 (daisy chained)
    1 5TB G-RAID connected directly to iMac Intel via FW800>400 adapter
    Sequence of Events :
    I had transferred some files to my G-Drive Mini in order to move them to my MacBook from my iMac Intel. I copied the files to the G-Drive Mini and ejected it normally and plugged it into my MacBook via FW400. The drive would not mount, and the power indication light would not go on. After experimenting with various connections and cables I was able to get the drive to power with FW400 and USB connected at the same time, but the drive would still not mount.
    I then plugged the G-Drive Mini back into the 2nd 500GB G-Drive as it was previously connected via FW400. This action caused the G-Drive to immediately reboot and eject itself from my iMac Intel.
    I then attempted to plug the G-Drive Mini into my older iMac G5 via FW400. Immediately upon plugging in, the computer shut down, and would not restart.
    At this point I kind of started to freak out. I was unaware of the extent of the damage, but was upset that the FW powered G-Drive Mini had shutdown my iMac G5. I contacted G-Tech Support and they offered to replace the drive and instructed me how to manually reset the computer's SMC by opening up the iMac and finding the Cuda switch. This worked and the computer was able to start and function again, but the FW400 port seemed to be disabled.
    I then tried to swap out configurations and drives on my iMac Intel to see if there was any cable problems, but doing so, slowly rendered all my FireWire ports useless. It's almost as if the act of plugging in the FW-powered G-Drive Mini started a kind of shortout chain reaction. I soon learned that none of my hard drives would connect to any of my three machines, with any kind of cable combination via FW400 or 800.
    I am currently able to connect my 5TB G-RAID drive to any machine via USB, as well as my G-Drive Mini. I am unable to access the other two external hard drives, as one has only FW400 and 800 ports and the other's USB connection is not functional as well on any machine.
    Troubleshooting Steps Taken :
    I have on all machines, reset the SMC in the following methods. iMac G5 - manually, by opening the case and pressing Cuda switch. iMac Intel - unplug, hold power button, restart method. MacBook - unplug, hold power button, restart method.
    I have also on all machines, reset the PRAM by the Cmnd + Opt + P + R method at startup.
    I have also unplugged all cables / removed battery, from all machines and left alone for a period of at least 12 hours, then re-plugged in each device one at a time.
    I have also restored my hibernate mode (through Terminal) on my iMac Intel to mode 3 and also turned on Virtual Memory in system preferences and set hibernatemode to mode 7, the restarted and attempted to plug in devices. The reason I even began to deal with the hibernate mode was because I had around the same time my ports began malfunctioning, installed the DeepSleep widget, which allows you to control your computer's hibernate mode. I thought that tweaking with this setting may have made my computer incapable of recognizing devices that were plugged in. I have since uninstalled the widget and experimented with different hibernatemodes to no avail.
    I also have Repaired Disk Permissions and Repaired Disk on all my machines, from within my Admin User as well as from the OsX Install Disk.
    Sometimes in my System Profiler (like right now for example on my iMac Intel) my computer is "Unable to list FireWire devices," but sometimes, no warning message comes up and it simply displays the appropriate Bus speed.
    I also conducted a system restore using a backup from my 5TB G-Raid Drive via USB, to a date before these problems started, but my ports are still not working.
    Summary :
    I am looking at a situation where all my FW ports on all my computers appear to be disabled, and possibly also on my four external hard drives, with one possible USB port malfunction on one external drive. The only root of this seems to be a malfunctioning FW-powered external hard drive.
    Is this possible? Has this happened to anyone else before? G-Tech assures me that it is impossible for my 250GB G-Drive Mini to draw enough power from a computer to permanently disable any ports, but I have tried all of the FW port problem troubleshooting steps and am at a loss.
    I do not have AppleCare and would like to avoid bringing two iMacs, a MacBook and four hard drives to the Apple store and take my chances with the geniuses.
    I would appreciate any help or advice you all have. Thanks for reading and for your support!

    Ok. So if that was too confusing, I've re-labeled this post with letters for my hard drives and some mapping of the connectivity configurations I have attempted.

  • Gestetner Aficio CS225 on iMac Intel 2Ghz Dual Core, OSX 10.4.10

    Could anyone help me to setup this multifunction printer on a new iMac Intel?
    I've downloaded from Gestetner site the latest ppd (y. 2002, vers. 1.1), and put it into Library/Printers/PPDS/Contents/REsources/en.lproj but when trying to add a new printer in Print Center I can't match the right ppd, only a generic postscript printer. But this generic ppd doesn't dupport A3 paper format.
    Could anybody suggest a solution?
    Thank you in advance.

    Welcome To  Discussions silvia2k!
    I'm not at all familiar with that printer, but here are some observations.
    "...(ppd (y. 2002, vers. 1.1),..."
    On the Gestetner Driver Download Page, under Color Multifunctional, there are two versions listed for the C5225, v1.0 & v1.1, both with dates of 1999.
    But if you notice, no matter which you choose, you can only get a download for v1.0.
    The URL/Links listed below, are different, but they both lead to v1.0, when you select Mac OS X.
    v1.0
    v1.1
    "... put it into Library/Printers/PPDS/Contents/REsources/en.lproj..."
    But whichever one you need, I think you must install it.
    Quoted from that website:
    "PPD Installer
    This PPD installer is used to install a PPD (Postscript Printer Description) file on Mac OSX. PPD files contain descriptions of printer capabilities such as paper sizes, number of input trays and duplexing. Once the PPD file is installed on the system using the PPD installer, the PS driver that comes bundled with Mac OS X can use the information in the PPD to control the print device and enable full functionality. Please see the Readme file for information about compatability with versions of Mac OS X."

  • Imac Intel will not boot up - 3 days old, light on, starts to spin...

    I got an Imac Intel 20" from my husband on mother's day and it now will not turn on!! White light comes on, sounds like it is trying to boot and then nothing... blank screen, no beeps - have unplugged and restarted, tried a million key combination from the forums and still nothing... locked up once on "Garage?" software (according to son)... worked for 2 days...
    Very dissapointed and sad... husband looking like the PC is still a better box even after breaking down and getting the Imac - can't help much because this is all new to him...
    Help!

    If you bought your imac with a credit card anywhere in your home state(or within 100 miles of your home in another state), then you can return it within 30 days if you are unsatisfied. That is federal law, and a store cannot do anything to deprive you of those rights--no matter what they say (or what they print on the receipt under your signature). My Apple store tried to tell me they only allow returns for 2 weeks. I told them the were violating federal law and they were required to issue a credit for the amount of the return, and they reluctantly complied.
    I believe credit card companies are now required to print those rules on your bill (mine does and I don't think it would do so voluntarily), so you can check the fine print on your last bill and read them.
    So, if you meet the above requirements, take your imac back . Insist on a refund. Be firm. If the retail person won't do it, tell them you want to speak to a manager. Once they credit your account, walk up to another retail person and tell them you want to buy a 20" imac.
    If the retailer won't credit your account, then call your credit card company, and tell them you tried to return a defective product within the 30 day limit that you bought in your home state, and you would like them to reverse the charges.

  • How can I upload digital video from a HDD camcorder to iMac Intel?

    I bought a Sony DCR SR100 camcorder with 30 gig HD, and the software that comes with it is Windows only, and the Mac software that they refer you to on the internet says "not Intel Core compatible"
    So get this - the online support guy from Sony says to get a digital to analog conversion card to load the video thru the AV jacks. I reminded him that I'm starting with digital video in MPEG2 on the camera's hard drive - which is essentially an external hard drive. Converting to analog didn't sound right.
    So there is an easy, no-brainer way to do this I'm sure (that is I hope)
    Thanks a lot for your help,

    iMac Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Sony DCR SR100 HD camcorder 30 gig (nice!)

    The problem (I discovered) is that the files are "muxed" which means that the audio and video are somehow intermixed, so they need to be converted into a standard that iMovieHD can read, like "DV"
    There is a shareware called MPEG STREAMCLIP that converts video into other things. I tested it and it does work. I just need to figure out the most efficient way to import, convert and open in iMovie.

    I think it is universal which is cool.
    I am curious about the workstation that you mentioned to run windows software. Where can I find that?

  • No sound on iMac Intel 24'' EMC 2267 after hard drive replacement

    I replaced my hard drive on my iMac Intel 24'' EMC 2267, due to numerous bad blocks, by following all the instructions on iFixit.com. I did not experience any problems.
    I then installed all my files from a Time Machine backup. There were no problems with the restoration of my files. It seems that my new hard drive works beautifully.
    However, one serious problem I have is that now there is no sound on my iMac. There is no startup chime, and there are no other sounds. When clicking on Sound in System preferences, it says that there are "no output devices found".
    When opening system profiler, in the Audio (built-in) tab it says "Audio ID: 0"
    I re-opeend my iMac to make sure that all cables were connected properly, and I did not manage to spot any problems.
    I tried to reset PRAM and EMC but these did not solve the problem. I am working under MacOS X 10.6.8
    Can someone help please? Any information provided will be most appreciated. Thanks in advance for your support.
    Regards - Gina

    I think when you replaced your hard drive you bumped into the daughter board and that is for the sound and the wireless, You need to get another daughterboard or contact the Apple Store if your Mac is stilll under warranty.
