Imac Isight 20" Memory upgrade Third Party?

Would like to add a 2gb stick any suggestions on thirdparty sellers with reliable/guaranteed compatability besides owc?

Since Micron's website shows their 2GB's at the "sampling" stage [expect the website isn't necessarily up to date on that page], I'd watch crucial.com on a daily basis for them.

24" Intel iMac 3 Gig memory upgrade

I currenlty have (2) 1 gig memory modules in my two slots for a total of 2 Gig. I want to upgrade to 3 Gig. When my 2 gig module arrives, I know I need to remove one of the (1) gig modules to make room. Does it matter which slot I use for the new 2 gig card, top or bottom?
Thanks

IMac G3 600 memory upgrade issue

I have just acquired a Snow iMac 600mhz, currently using 256mb RAM (one stick). I want to install a 512mb stick in the open slot, but the computer won't start with it installed. I have upgraded the Firmware to 4.1.9, and the RAM is known good in another computer. It was purchased from OWC, and I have confirmed that the specs of the RAM match the specs set forth by Apple. I don't know what else I can do. I have attempted rudimentary things, like trying to reset the PRAM (not successful, since when restarting after the RAM install, it only beeps/bongs and sits there). I am looking for alternative reasons/solutions for this problem.
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks!

Logical question. It was very well seated in the slot. It is PC100 CL2 168-pin 3.3v 64 bit SDRAM. I assure you it is the correct RAM. And I tried it in another iMac--a friend's 500mhz Snow iMac. It worked.
As stated above, I confirmed that the firmware is up to date. I am uncertain of what else I can do. If I install just the 512 stick, all I get at startup is that little beep--no HD spinup, nothing. If I leave the existing 256 meg stick in the "first" slot, and put the 512 in the "second" slot, I get the startup sound, and then nothing else--no HD spinup, nothing. I don't know what other recourse I have. I want to make this work, but wanting something doesn't make it happen...

Can I Use DDR3 RAM for iMac 7,1 Memory Upgrade?

I'm sorry if this is a silly quesyion but I cannot find an answer anywhere so I thought I would ask here. My iMac (mid 2007) has the following specs:
Model Name:          iMac
Model Identifier:          iMac7,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          4 MB
Memory:          1 GB
Bus Speed:          800 MHz
Boot ROM Version:          IM71.007A.B03
SMC Version (system):          1.20f4
Yesterday, from the Apple Store, I ordered an Apple Memory Module 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 (PC3-10600) - 2x2GB. In the Apple Store it said that this was compatible with all computers shown so I assumed it would be okay with my mid 2007.
From further reading it seems that I will not be able to use this memory and that I should have purchsed 4GB 667MHz DDR2 instead. Is this correct? Will I be able to use the DDR3 that I have purchased or will I need to get the DDR2?
I tried to cancel the order but it was too late. I should have researched it properly first.
Cheers for any advice.
TJ

You will not be able to use the ram you ordered. You need to return it and purchase ram that is
200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM. Also, don't purchase ram from the Apple store, they overcharge for it. Look to order ram from a vendor such as Crucial or OWC.

Coldfusion 7 MX, upgrading third party library files such as log4j.

How do I upgrade log4j that is installed with CF7MX? I have
an app that also contains log4j, but a newer version. It would seem
that the app I am using is getting a handle on the CF7MX log4j, and
throwing an exception.
I've tried moving my app's log4j to the beginning of the CF
classpath, set in the Admin Console, and even overwriting the older
version with the new, and new with the older, in a fit of
desperation. All attempts were unsuccessful.
I tried the demo version of CF8, and the app runs fine, but
my company is reluctant to upgrade to CF8 just for one app. The
cost of the new software is a factor, but so is regression testing
all of the other apps etc. So suffice it to say, I'm really hoping
to come up with a solution for CF7MX. I looked at the patch for
7.02, but it doesn't contain any java library upgrade.
Also, we don't have the source code for the app that we are
running under CF, so we aren't able to downgrade the logging calls.
Thanks in advance for your help.

27"imac with 16gb ram, wanting to upgrade to 32gb. what is the least problematic third party memory to upgrade to?

I want to upgrade from 16gb to 32 for my imac 27", release date Sept 2013. I've been reading about Crucial memory problems with random restarts and kernal panic notices as late as today on the Crucial website. Any tips on a third party memory brand that is least problematic?

I personally would steer clear of the others listedi n Baby Boomers link. Not because they may or maynot be good I am just not familiar with them.
Just because you are not familiar w/the website, the OP should steer clear? <Edited by Host>
For the record, I have been using Ramseeker website since 1999. Not once have I ever had a problem w/any of their RAM.
I would never recommend a website if there were known problems w/their products.

Third party memory upgrades?

Hi,
I'm in the process of upgrading the memory in my USB 2.0 iMac and was wondering if anyone had experience with using non OEM modules. In my case, the price is not the only factor deterring me from making a purchase directly from Apple. After placing an online order for a 256MB module (said to ship in 5-7 days), it was 10 days until I received a notice via email that they were backordered and the item wouldn't ship for another two weeks! Lousy.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a particular manufacturer. The specs are:
Unbuffered, PC2700, 3.3v SO-DIMM of SDRAM.
Regards,
Rory Woods

Try looking at www.ramseeker.com for RAM prices. They list prices from a number of reputable vendors. You can also use the RAM selectors on the websites of vendors like www.crucial.com and www.datamem.com. They will all be much cheaper than Apple, and the same or better quality (after all, Apple buys their RAM from third party vendors too; Apple doesn't manufacture their own RAM). Just make sure you buy from a vendor that offers a lifetime warranty (almost all do). Crucial is a very reputable brand; my preferred vendor is Data Memory Systems.

What third party RAM is equal to "1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x8GB" for the NEW, 27" 2014 4K iMAC and is it advisable to buy instead of the Apple upgraded RAM?

What third party RAM is as good as the "1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x8GB" upgrade that Apple offers for the NEW, 27" 2014 5K iMAC Retina?
And is it advisable to buy instead of the Apple upgraded RAM? (my understanding is that third party RAM is not as costly).

go with one of the quality sources for ram OWC and Crucial are very well thought of
your options with the 5K when you buy it are
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
16GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x8GB [Add $200.00]
32GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x8GB [Add $600.00]
you might want to go with the 16GB option when you buy if you know you might want to go to 32GB some day as that will get you to 32zb at the lowest cost. or you can start with the 8 and add 8GB sticks as you need them but if you are not happy stopping at 20GB you will end up with a pair of 4GB sticks to try to sell on ebay... or if you are lazy like me you get a couple of extra xmas tree ornaments.. i have 35 years of ram methods on my tree now dating back to the extra ram for my Apple ][ extra 8k and not a few obsolete processor ornaments too... dress em up with glitter so they sparkle

Third party memory in iMac causing crashes?

Since updating to mavericks, iMac has been crashing. 24 mb ram 16 are third party. Configuration is correct.
Anyone having crashes?

Do you meet ALL of Maverick's system requirements?http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842

Has anyone had problems with Domayne using generic third party RAM for memory upgrades? My RAM is now faulty and had to be removed, but Apple wont replace it under Apple Care because its not a genuine component?

The computer was purchased in the knowledge that all components and hardware were genuine and subsequently covered by the Apple Care warranty.
Domayne replaced the genuine components (8GB stick) with generic components (2x 16GB sticks) to save money and boost margin.
Apple should not allow this misleading, profiteering behaivour. This behaviour is brand damaging. Apple must maintain more control over their supply chain.
Has anyone had any expirenece with this problem?
Has anyone made Domayne or other third party resellers acountable for this misleading behaviour?
Thank you.

Stick with Brand name RAM and reputable distributors. Mac is finicky about low quality RAM
Try OWC http://www.macsales.com/
Crucial http://www.crucial.com/
Most RAM comes with Lifetime guarenntee so return it where you got it.

Third party chip and OSX upgrades

i have an original bondi blue imac (233 mhz) that I upgraded years ago to 500mhz with a newer technologies third-party chip. I also have upgraded it to a 40MB HD and 374 Meg RAM with another 8Meg video RAM. Now it is time to do the firmware update in order to upgrade to OSX.
Has anyone had any experience with that firmware update and those types of third party chips? I am afraid!
The manufacturer has discontinued them and I emailed them but haven't got any joy so far.
thanks

Do you have the original CPU handy? You can always downgrade, then do the firmware upgrade, and then upgrade again.
As far as I know the firmware upgrade affects only the logic board and not the CPU, but I don't want to be responsible for you frying your upgrade chip. As the upgrade chip is technically not supported by Apple, they will not have tested their firmware upgrader on a machine that has a third-party chip. But untested doesn't mean it won't work.

FCE Support of Third-Party Plug-ins based on FxPlug - iSight

I wish apple would make FCE Support of Third-Party Plug-ins based on FxPlug.
I would love to be able to record to FCE with the iSight plug-in from Noise Industries....
Is there an other way to do this??? Record audio and video to a quicktime movie from my iMac???
thanks for your reply...

Updating firmware (third-party memory)

I've just spent a joyous week resurrecting my life's work, after a hideous Norton-hard-drive-erasing incident. Thanks to maclover and others for their help with that.
I've reinstalled everything and upgraded my OS to 10.4. All fine and dandy, except that my Mac will not now go to sleep when told to do so. The screen will go to sleep, but not the computer. Also, when I leave it for an hour or so, the screen will go to sleep but can't wake it up again.
While running a check for software updates, I was given the option to download a firmware update (5.1.5f). From the blurb, I understand that this should fix the sleeping issue.
Before I install it, I just want to check one thing: the instructions say to remove any third party memory before upgrading the firmware, and re-installing the memory afterwards.
Is this really necessary? I don't want to risk buggering anything up, but I'd prefer not to go messing about with the innards of my Mac if it's not necessary.
Thanks in advance!

Hi MiraW-
If Apple has taken the time to include that as an instruction then it is probably a very good idea.
Make sure to discharge any static before you reach in and pull out the stick(s).

Apple vs. Third Party memory

I'm looking to upgrade the memory on my 2010 Mac Pro, 2x2.4ghz Quad-Core Xeon processors currently with just 6gb. I have two empty slots and ideally would like to drop in two 8gb modules.
Looking at the Apple Store they want $500 each for the 8gb, which is absolutely insane: http://store.apple.com/us/memorymodel/ME_MACPRO_S10_RAM
Looking at the specs of the compatible memory, I found this at a local computer store which seems to match: http://canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=24_311_312_611&item_id=48281Q
Is there something I'm overlooking here, any issues with using third-party memory? A spec that will not allow this to actually be compatible?
Thanks

Is there something I'm overlooking here, any issues with using third-party memory?
YES. These guys say, we might have some of this, we might not. We might ship it soon, we might not. It might work in your computer, it might not. If you send it back, we charge you a 15% restocking fee.
The Vendors you should be dealing with say:
• We know Macs.
• You tell us what Mac, we send you RAM that meets Apple specs and is guaranteed to work in your Mac, or your money back.
• If it EVER fails, we will replace it free.

Upgrading to Yosemite with Third-Party ssd's

I'm thinking about Upgrading to Yosemite on my mac mini, primarily because I want to update to the latest version of Final Cut X, and this is only supported on Yosemite.
I put this off long ago because I'm using Third-Party SSD's, and I know that there were issues with this on Yosemite. If possible, I'd like to update now, but I'm not sure if this is a stable system for what I'm using. Here are my current specs below:
Mac Mini Late 2012
OS X Version 10.9.5
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory
Startup Disk - 2x Crucial M550 256GB SATA in RAID-0
When I looked into this many months ago, I remember reading that Yosemite doesn't work well with non-apple SSD's, something about trim not working or otherwise. Does anyone know if this can be done now, or if there's a thread with a fix for this? Everything that I can find in searches is from a year ago.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Based on the discussions I've read Yosemite will work on a 3rd party SSD, but as mentioned above, TRIM isn't supported.
One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won’t have to go though the revert process.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.
