Inc mem from 1gb to 4gb in my imacG4 1.25gh/1gb make 10.5.1 operate faster

I don't know if this is the place to post this?? 10.5.1 is working well in my system. Some people say it will work better if I increase my RAM to 4gb( which I think is the max I can do) . It seems like it could increase the speed some(less shuffling around for space during processing). May not be worth it.
Anyone have any thoughts on this. I would have to take the bottom off & install 2 cards( 2gb each).
Has anyone installed any cards in one of these? I know you have to be very careful of static electricity.

Its not going to make it run notably faster but if you do work with some programs it will make the programs run more efficiently thereby faster. A good test for a user to try as an example would be to use a scanner say on color photos. Try different scan resolutions. open each scan with Preview and notice how Preview struggles with high resolution images such as tiff. Then add the ram I went from 2 gig to 3 gig and enjoy the efficiency of using preview to open those high resolution tiff images.
Not to say that most people would scan in very high resolution because it would be over kill but this is a simple example that the user can notice immediately.

I used to be able to make iDVDs to share. photos with family members. Now I can't even open iPhoto when I am working on iDVD. I have a 2008 iMac. I already recently updated the computer memory from 1GB to 4GB.

I have not been able to make any iDVDs lately. I can't open iPhoto to access media when I am in iPhoto. I presently am trying? Recently I updated the memory on my 2008 iMac from 1GB to 4GB, but this did not help. I just reinstalled iLife 2009. Can anyone help me?

IOS 7.0.2 install on iPad 2 has frozen. My "other" space has been slowly rising from 1gb to 7.8gb

Hello. I'm a seasoned apple and ipad user, however my iOS 7.0.2 installation has left my iPad 2 frozen with the apple logo and bar on screen. I've tried all the given instructions, none of which have resolved the issue. However I've noticed that on the iPad Summary screen on iTunes my "other" space
has been slowly rising from 1gb and it is now up to 7.8gb after 12 hours. By clicking on the the device tab, it causes the "other" to increase. Is it very, very slowly installing? My iPad did have about 12gb of the 13.64gb storage used, hence perhaps why it is taking so long?

Upgraded from 2gb to 4gb of RAM and now my Imac freezes up all the time.

I have a 2009 model Imac and I upgraded from 2gb to 4gb but now after about 20 minutes of the computer being on it will freeze up randomly. It could be 20 mins - 3 hours of use before it freezes up. I did my research and I'm didn't get any RAM my Imac couldn't handle...so I have NO idea what's wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

As old as it is have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.

I have several issues that I hope you can help me out with. I am a professional photographer with a Mac with OS X 10.9.4:
- I can only make ONE contact sheet in CS6 (from AUTOMATE) from pictures indicated in Bridge. If I want to make another contact sheet I need to shut down and restart CS6.
- Camera RAW: if I change any setting in Camera RAW (except exposure), having first optimized the exposure, the exposure will automatically return to zero. Sometimes when I've set exposure and cropped the picture in Camera RAW Plug-In, the effects are lost just by opening the picture in CS6.
- Sometimes if I crop a picture in Camera RAW, it may be impossible to open it again from Bridge!
- I cannot do lens corrections in Camera RAW, at all. The Camera RAW comment is that "it cannot load the correct lens type". Why?

Are you writing that when you select a large number of images in the bridge like a hundred thumbnails when you then use Bridge menu Tools>Photoshop>Contact Sheet II that Photoshop only produces a single contact sheet for the first few thumbnails and fails to produce additional contact sheets for the other selected thumbnails? Photoshop contact sheet II script should create as many contact sheet as needed for the numbers of thumbnails selected. Perhaps the script is hung or you have exhausted your machine resources.
ACR Crop tool does not crop the RAW file it records crop settings to be used during the conversion process. Camera RAW DATA is not altered. The only changes made to RAW Files is ACR Metadata may be added. Anything you do in ACR can be un-done in ACR. If you can not open a RAW File in ACR the Files is either corrupt or from a new camera ACR does not support yet. ACR should not corrupt RAW files.
If you do not have a lens profile for ACR I think you should still be able to do lens correction manually in ACR.
Some of what you write I don't follow could you post some screen captures of your problems often a picture helps.

There have been a lot of recent reports of difficulties sharing to DVD, but haven't been hearing about unreadable disks. Posibly there was an encoding error. Or it could have been bad media (blank disk).
Does it play in your Mac?

Go into your contacts and edit them.

HT1386 How do I copy music from an old iPod? Why do you have to make things so difficult? These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them. I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems.

How do I copy music from an old iPod? Why do you have to make things so difficult? These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them. I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems. I used to be able to do this until you "improved" things.

Thanks, Deggie. I thought Apple would see my feedback. I would just like to know if there is a simple way to copy just a few music files from an old iPod. I saw instructions on how to copy all of them from the iPod but it was complicated and I really didn't want to copy all the songs. I guess I could delete all the songs but the ones I want to copy then go through that process again. Do you know how to back up music to my computer? I don't want to have to go through this again and possibly lose music.

When i import movies from my iPhoto app to my iMovie app does it make a copy (thereby using double the hard disk space) or does it link to my iPhoto app? The reason i ask is i want to archive all my videos from iPhoto/iMovie. HELP!

Hi - I'm having the same problem with freeing up space on the HD. If I can't free space if I'm using any part of the clip, how can I split up the clips so that I can discard the part I won't use? This is crazy! I have only 4 GB of free space left!
Also, I've tried to transfer the project file to my external HD but I keep getting an error saying I can't transfer it. I've been told this is because I don't have enough space on the HD for the transfer. I tried a similar transfer with another computer with plenty of HD space but the same error occurred. Is there a way to break up the project file into small pieces for the transfer (I'm thinking the whole movie file is just too big)?
Thanks for any info!

Its not a question, but i just hope someone from apple can read this, i just wish you can make a card just like itunes card, for ipad wi-fi card. would be convenience.

That's why he gave you the link to make the suggestion.
But returning to your proposal ... Apple does not sell any of the "wifi" connections. It would be up to providers of service to sell giftcards, and perhaps Boingo or some of other airport-commercial WiFi firms do. I can't think of any other place I've been asked to pay for WiFi.
Now Verizon and AT&T, as well as other providers in other countries, could sell Gift Cards... and again, perhaps they do, but you'll have to check with them or make the suggestions there. It's really not an Apple issue, as they don't sell or provide any connections, just the hardware to make them.

When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder?

When I edit and/or delete photos from an album in iPhoto is there a way to make that what happens in the folder in finder? I am new to Mac. I've updated the operating system and iPhoto.

If your iPhoto Advanced preference pane is setup like this
all photos you import into the library are COPIED into the library. Thus those photos in the folders outside of iPhoto are redundant and can be deleted to save space on your hard drive. There no need to keep those copies in the folders.
If you do have your advance preferences set as shown above you can access your photos for use outside of iPhoto according to the following User Tip by Terence Devlin which is the best treatise on how to access photos (for use outside of iPhoto): How to Access Files in iPhoto. Otherwise you access your photos from within iPhoto.

Means you have an incompatible Safari extension installed. Look in the /Home/Library/Safari/Extensions/ folder for the offending plug-in and delete it.

How do I transfer photos from my iPad 3 to my computer so I can make a CD

How do I transfer photos from my iPad 3 to my computer so I can make a CD?

To copy photos to you computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page.
To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

When I import video from my iphone to imovie it doesnt look right, it makes everyone look wider and shorter. Is there a way to fix this?

When I import video from my iphone to imovie it doesnt look right, it makes everyone look wider and shorter. Is there a way to fix this?

This is close. I did a bit more digging I have found a few more things. It appears that the input dialog is a read once on connect and then it never updates. I had my iPhone connected to my Mac when I did my convert from FILMiC Pro to my Camera Roll. Just on a whim, I dissconnected my iPhone with FCPX open and then connected it again. This time when I opened up the Import window the movie I converted showed up. It appears my issue may have simply been related to the specific series of operations that I happened to use at the time I was trying to perform an import to FCPX.
One last item of note. There is a movie in my Camera Roll that FCPX still does not see. This was a movie shot by my son-in-law of my grandaughter on his iPhone and then it was sent, via message, to my iPhone. Obviously it is a highly compressed video of unknown compression and frame rate. Regardless, FCPX does not see this video. I'm guessing it is not a .mov quicktime file but some other format specific to imessage video.
Thanks for the help Russ. It at least pointed me in the right direction. I understand why no one else could comment as I'm guessing no one else has had an issue. A very subtle "feature".
