IMac user Installable Memoery -512MB PC133 144-PIN SDRAM SODIMM LAPTOP RAM

Will 512MB PC133 144-PIN SDRAM SODIMM LAPTOP RAM be suitable for my iMac G4 800? The spec seems to meet the requirements as specified in other posts. It is available on e-Bay at less than £25.00
Thanks in advance of your help

Well that is the correct specification, but as always buyer beware on ebay. Is that seller going to replace the module or accept a return if the module doesn't work? Having had trouble with cheap (and even branded) RAM in the past I only buy from reputable Mac-friendly suppliers now and happily pay the extra for the piece of mind:Crucial

  • User-accessible memory...144-pin vs. 200-pin

    Hello Ladies and Gents,
    I currently have only the factory installed 256 MB of memory. I want to improve my iMac's performance by increasing the amount of RAM. I have checked around the Apple website and boards. The following is an excerpt from Apple Support article 88298 (last updated 2/27/04).
    +"This document explains what type and speed RAM is used in iMac (Flat Panel) computers.+
    +iMac (Flat Panel) computers only work with PC133 SDRAM. The maximum installed RAM that can be used is 1 GB. RAM modules of 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB sizes can be used in both slots.+
    +There are two RAM slots in the iMac (Flat Panel) computers. They are:+
    +* A user-accessible 144-pin SO-DIMM slot.+
    +* An internal (factory-installed) 168-pin DIMM slot+
    +The Apple System Profiler will show the two different types of slots and what amount of RAM is installed there.+
    +The user-accessible slot requires PC133 speed RAM. PC100 RAM is not to be used with iMac (Flat Panel) computers and may create performance and reliability issues."+
    Unless I've misunderstood, there have been some postings on the board that state otherwise. For example, the article says 1 GB is the max and to use a 144-pin module. However, there have been posts saying the max is 2 GB and that a 200-pin module can be used.
    I would appreciate any guidance you might provide.
    Thank you!
    Shawn

    Hello Shawn, 
    The iMac G4 (USB2.0) 15" 1GHz uses PC2700 RAM. The maximum is 2GB (1GB 200pin SODIMM & 1GB 184pin DIMM). Your current 256MB will be installed in the 184pin DIMM slot. I recommend that you install a 1GB 200pin SODIMM in the user-accesible slot for a 1280MB total. IMHO it's not worth the cost or complexity to go any higher on this older Mac:

  • Hi I am a new iMac user. I got my iTunes on here finally, but now it is telling me I haven't authorized my computer? When I ask @ the app. store- no answers... What did I miss?

    Hi, I am a new iMac user and I finally got my itunes to recognize  my music to the iMac, but now it says my computer is not authorized?! When I ask at the App. store about this- they have nothing, but that is where the iMac sends me? So what did I miss?

    You need to Open iTunes and then click on Store in the Menu Bar.

  • How do I maintain a single iTunes library for two separate iMac user accounts?

    How do I maintain a single iTunes library for two separate iMac user accounts?...without having to manually do something every download?

    Pardon me, I am brand new at using an iMac.  I understand the concept but I don't know exactly how to "move" the library.  I found a shared folder under users on the hard drive.  If I move it, won't I have to redirect each iTunes user to the new shared location?
    If I point iTunes to anything other than the music folder under that user name, it shows as a "shared library".  Preferences still shows it as that users library, regardless of where the advanced gear button says it is pointing to.
    Am I asking for too much to have each user control the exact same music files, apps and playlists?  I just want the two different itunes sessions to mirror each other without any frequent updating or copying.
    We use the same id for itunes music and apps so we could just sync all devices under one iMac user id and not use it under hers.

  • Can i set up separate bookmarks in safari for each iMac  user

    can i set up separate bookmarks in safari for each iMac user???

    Searched the support community to unearth this (bit aged, but unanswered)question. Me too face the same problem. SAFARI BOOKMARKS show up the same under all user accounts. Searched all possible setting options but no obvious setting options found (at least by me) to keep them seperate for different users. Can anyone help?

  • Brand new Imac user having trouble importing photos (jpgs)

    I am a brand new iMac user and am having trouble importing some of my photos into my new computer.
    Here is my dilemma:
    * All of my pics are jpgs that were shot using a sony DSC-W50 digital camera.
    * All were backed up on my exteral harddrive from my old Sony PC.
    * I loaded all of them onto my new iMac into the "Photos" area
    * When I try to import them to the iPhoto library, I get a message that either says "already in the iPhoto library" or 'unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data"
    * I can open all of the photos that I get this error msg on in other photo programs so I know the files are photos and are good.
    HELP!

    iPhoto is not an image viewer, it's a Database with built-in image viewer, lightweight editing and version control, and like any database, data needs to be imported. However, iPhoto will not import from the iPhoto Library Folder.
    So, move the photos to the Desktop and then import them from there.
    Here's what happens next:
    iPhoto will make a copy of them in the iPhoto Library Folder. There they will be put into the Originals Folder. Here's how the iPhoto Library Folder is organised:
    In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
    Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
    (ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
    This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
    (iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
    It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
    If you need any more asistance post more.

  • Diff bet multi user and single user installation

    Hi,
    what is the diff betweeen single user and multi user installation,please let me know advantages and disadvantages also .
    Regards

    Hi,
    what is the diff betweeen single user and multi user installationSingle user installation is having one user who owns all the application/database tier files. When you do an installation, you run RapidWiz as this user.
    Multi-user installation is having two different users (applmgr user who owns the application tier files, and oracle user who owns the database tier files). When you do the installation, you run RapidWiz as root user.
    On Windows, you cannot have multi-user installation. So, the above is valid on Unix/Linux.
    More details can be found in the Concept manual --> http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/applications.html
    please let me know advantages and disadvantages also .I always prefer multi-user installation as you just source the application/env file in the user's profile (in the applmgr/oracle profile) and the file is sourced once you login as that user. For single user installation, you will have to be sure that you source the proper env file manually each time you want to switch between the application and the database (just imagine if you try to shutdown/startup the database after sourcing the application env file, or trying to use any database executable file like export/import/sqlplus ..etc, you will end up using the application tier executable files).

  • Can I do a 3 way video chat with two iMac users and 1 PC user?

    Hi,
    I'm due to have a video conference in a few days and I suddenly realized that one of us has a PC and two of us have iMacs. If the PC user were to get AIM, would it be possible for her to communicate with the two of us and can the two of us communicate with and see her? We live in 3 separate areas so we will be using three separate computers. If it is possible to do this, what do we all need to do? Also, I have iChat 5.0 and the other iMac user has whatever came with Tiger. I have done three way video conferences before without a problem but we've all had iChat. Thanks in advance.

  • IMac user accounts one account hangs, how do I repair it?

    iMac user accounts one account hangs, how do I repair it?
    When I login to the account it logs in, then the first thing click hangs that account and I have to reboot.
    Any suggestions???

    Since this is account specific looking for suspects in /Library/StartupItems, etc. is not the place to look first.  It must be specific to that account.  So the immediate suspects could be that account's login items or ~/Library/LaunchAgents.
    So, as suggested, boot in safe mode but then try to log into the problem account.  If it works then look at your login items and ~/Library/LaunchAgents (if any) and temporarily remove all tof them.  Then reboot normally and try to log into the account again.
    Of course sometimes just booting in safe mode may clear the problem up if it's a file system or cache problem.  You never know until you try.

  • How to i provide help to another imac user over the computer

    How to i provide onscreen help to another imac user over the computer?

    Hi,
    If you both have iChat or Messages you can use it's Screen Sharing abilities.
    You can do this AIM to AIM (Screen Names that are valid with the AIM service which includes some Apple Issued Apple ID names - although this can be version dependent)
    You can also do it Jabber ID to Jabber ID. 
    Jabber IDs include Google Mail IDs set up for Google talk and Facebook Accounts with Chat Enabled.
    Check you can Video chat with the person as it takes a similar amount of Bandwidth (the bit of the Internet Speed you computer gets).
    You needs to Enable Screen Sharing in the Video Menu of iChat or the Messages app in Mountain Lion.
    Highlight the Buddy in the Buddy list and use the icon at the bottom of the Buddy list (It will offer your to them  or them to you)
    You can also use the Buddies menu when a Buddy is highlighted.
    It is also possible to "switch" to Screen Sharing in a Video chat.
    In reality it instantly closes the Video chat and Starts the Screen Share.
    It does not have the ability to "Switch" back as closing the Screen Share close the connection.
    Screen Sharing includes a Audio Chat alongside  (Technically it is an Audio  Chat with an Apple Remote Desktop type VNC connection.  The Apple Remote Desktop engine provides the "Desktop" "Pics").
    To do this VNC part you router will need to be using UPnP (Or Port Mapping Protocol in Apple Base Stations)
    AS Video chats and Audio chats use the same ports to connect it means that if you can Video your can Screen Share

  • New iMac user, can you use a fan to cool the back?

    Hi everone,
    I'm a new iMac user, a new mac user full stop. I recently was given one for college because I'm dyslexic so I recived one to help with college work. I'm a P.C girl mostly so i'm very new to this system, but we do use these at college thou I avoided them like the plauge because I just didn't know how to use them.
    ANYWAYS....I noticed that the back get's very hot, my desk is by the window of my room because it gets a little hot in my room at time's and I know my P.C would heat but so the window it was.
    i was wondering if used an external fan behind the mac might help with the temp, nothing big just a small fan for the back of the computer like the one's you use in an office but allot smaller? is this a good idea or not?
    thank you for takeing the time to read my post, I did read the other about hot mac's but it didn't have the answer I was looking for.
    Cap'Pixie xox

    Just be sure it's fixed low enough to be aimed upwards. That way it won't prevent the hot air escaping from the upper exhaust by blowing it back in. It will be blowing dust around too, so keep the area as dust free as possible. Whether I need to run this fan depends on the intenal temps and how hot the back feels. But can aid considerably in cooling. Get iStat Pro.
