Installing new RAM and need help!

Hello everyone, I have this exact same computer model found here: http://wow-rebates.com/lenovo-3000-k100-57068352-intel-desktop-pc/
This means that I have 4 slots of RAM, but 3 are currently being used by 1 GB sticks of DDR2 PC2-5300 @ 667. I just bought a stick of RAM today that is exactly the same as the other 3 (its a 1 GB stick of DDR2 667). However, after I installed it, it freezes at the first screen where it says "lenovo" in big white letters. It doesn't go any further than that, which is odd.
Additionally, when using my new RAM stick with only 2 of the old ones (total 3 GB) it works fine, but whenever 4GB of RAM is in my computer it just isn't working properly. What might be causing my computer not being able to handle 4GB? Is there a dual channel option I have to enable or something? Help will be VERY much appreciated! =)

Hummm, did you get into the Bios screen and check to see if the 4th gig is runnin? will pop up as 4 gigs in Memory. If not move the sticks around, if not get a new stick. If it show in bios then it's working.
In Vista though you only get 3gigs max unless you run 64bit.
I am using Kingston for $27 working fine.

I am setting up a new iMac and need help syncing files to Dropbox. On my old computer I had it set where when I saved a document, it was saved on my hard drive, as well as to a folder in Dropbox. I can't remember how I set this up. Any help?

The way that Dropbox works is that it keeps a copy of all your files in your local Dropbox folder on your hard drive (which is, by default, directly under your home folder). Adding files to that folder will sync them to the Dropbox server.
You do of course have to download the Dropbox application to enable this (download link at the top right of http://dropbox.com ).

Installing new RAM and hard drive and installing mac os x

Hello all.
I have a new hard drive and ram for my macbook that I plan on installing. Would it be okay to install both at the same time and then install Mac OS X from the install discs? Or, would I need to install the hard drive first, install Mac OS X, and then install the RAM?
What do I need to do?
Also, when installing MAC OS X from the discs with a new hard drive, will it allow me to do a fresh install as soon as I enter the disc? Or, do I have to restart the computer with the disc in and hold down the C key?
Please bless me with your wisdom.
Thanks.

Help! Installed new RAM and now screen isn't coming on!

Hi
I'm in a bit of a mess and would be grateful for any help with this one:
I have a Powerbook G3 500mhz Pismo that currently has a 512mb card in the top slot (Kingston PB100/512) that I installed about two years ago with no problems and an original 128mb in the bottom. At Christmas I bought another 512mb for the bottom slot – (Kingston KTA-PBG4/512 - This one is smaller than the first but it was the one reccomended by Kingston on their website for the Pismo).
I have just got round to installing it after backing up my system and I have good instructions on how to do it (I have replaced the HD two years previous with no problems)
Firstly I have to mention that just before I changed the RAM the laptop fell from a small stool (about 1.5feet high) onto carpet due to the unbalancing effect of taking out the battery/CD ROM. It landed on its edge where the power socket is. I immediately put it back together and turned it on to make sure it was ok - it came on fine and there were no problems visually, mechanically or otherwise, so I carried on with the installation.
I installed the new 512mb card in the bottom slot and re-assembled but when I turned it on the screen remained black! From the computer itself, however, it sounded as if it had started up ok – there was the chime and the familiar sound of the hard drive at start up.
To troubleshoot I removed the new RAM card and put back the old RAM as it was – this made no difference. I checked to see if the processor board was firmly in place or if I had dislodged any connectors by mistake within the area that I had worked but this made no difference. I also tried to re-set the parameter RAM and this made no difference.
Because the laptop took a small knock prior to installation, I am not sure if that has caused something to come loose or damage of some kind but as I mentioned I did test it immediately and it worked, so it’s either a delayed reaction or the new RAM card has caused it. – (As mentioned there is a difference between the two 512 cards in both name and size but the smaller size of the newer one I assume just reflects advancement in technology and it was reccomended by Kingston!)
If anybody has any advice on this I would be very grateful (and also, if anybody can point me in the direction of instructions on how to take the pismo apart to get to the connections to the screen that would be great – in case I have to do it)
Many Thanks Barry
PowerBook G3500mhz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

SpottyFox,
It sounds like you are properly seating the CPU card from your description, so I don't believe that is your problem. I am glad you checked the pins (I should have mentioned that as the next step if the reseating did not help). I cannot answer whether anything was damaged from your description of the pins; I have read where others have realigned bent pins with success so maybe your mileage will vary.
Start up your Pismo, then shine a flashlight directly into the display; if you can see data being written to the display, just the backlight is refusing to light. If this is the case, check the inverter board connections. The inverter is under the clutch cover and powers the fluorescent backlight in the display. Enlarge the bottom picture in this link to see the inverter:
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/PowerBook-G3-Pismo/Inverter-Page-10-Inverter
Check connections at each end of the inverter. Disassembly is not as extensive as this guide suggests. Support the back of the display, then remove the main battery, optical drive, lay the keyboard on its face on the palm rest, heat shield, and clutch cover...that's it.

You might also connect the Pismo to an external display; failure here would suggest a more serious problem.

Moved to new server and needing help with feed

My website www.gothamknightsonline.com has been moved to a new server and I am needing to keep the feed updated with new and old podcasts. I have reposted some of the old episodes as well as a new one I just posted. I have not been able to get the feed to show up. When I view our podcasts itunes page all of the info on each individual podcast is now gone with just the episodes listed and no more information.
Here is the feed URL: http://gothamknightsonline.com/category/podcast/feed/ (I have verified the feed) but I am not certain if this is the same feed URL that was listed before. Either way the plugin i used for my podcasts in wordpress has this in the feed as well as our iTunes id and URL ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/batman-gotham-knights-online/id315370686)
I am doing all of this on a Wordpress blog using the podpress plugin.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
-Garrey

iTunes is looking for a feed at http://www.gothamknightsonline.com/feed/?cat=10 and not finding it - checking this I don't get 'file not found' but if there is a file there it contains no data whatever.
I assume this is your original feed URL. The method for redirecting iTunes to another feed URL involves placing a special tag in the original feed, and is described in detail here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
Your new feed contains this tag (effectively redirecting to itself); you need to place a copy of the feed, with the redirect tag, at the original URL and leave it there for a couple of weeks. If you are unable to do this the two alternatives are described in my article.

Thanks

That means you have not a backup before accidentally restore your new iPhone 5.
So you should recover your new pictures and info with a third recovery tool.
This blog has a useful tool to meet you.
http://easy-iphone-recovery.blogspot.com/2013/09/iphone-recovery-resource.html
In step 1, you should choose 'Recover from iOS Device' in the main interface and then following the steps to get your pictures and info back.
Good Luck.

Installed new RAM and now got System Failure: cpu=0 error

This is so frustrating! I installed a 1 GB RAM chip (4200) in addition to the original 512 RAM. I turned on the computer, everything started and was working. I went in to the System Profiler and it was showing RAM as ok, but it had this: (Reversed) <-- in the name. I thought it was odd, but it was at least showing up. I quit iCal and I got a screen full of code with errors - the one I kept seeing was a kernel error. There was also a message that I needed to restart. I did - then it would not come on (fan was running, no video). So I shut down, took out the RAM, put it back in and let it sit for a few hours. When I turned it back on, it started up and I was able to log in to Gmail and created a message reply. In the middle of typing, I got an error that starts out with "System Failure: cpu=0; code=000000004 (No saveareas)" There's a lot more (about 1/3 of my screen) and the last line says "Waiting for remote debugger connection." I live about an hour and a half from a Mac store, so if I have to get there, I can....but does this mean I have a bad RAM chip or just a bad computer?

Odds are that it's a bad RAM module. People report many problems even with RAM modules that supposedly meet the printed specs. This is why a vendor that will easily replace modules is helpful.
Go back to the original 512MB only and see if the computer at least works. You might also try swapping sockets. It's possible you may have exacerbated the dead RAM socket problem, or even just have lint or dust in the sockets.

Lost Itunes after trying to install new version I need help....

I tried backing up my phone last night, it went on for 9 hours and then NOTHING happened? I got a new phone and need help

What to do when your phone will not back up so you can transfer to a new device?

If you have any iTunes Movies and TV Shows, remove them. iTunes Movies and TV Shows make up 75% of your backup time.
example: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone takes up 4 GBs of iPhone Storage and costs 1-2 hours of backing up when it's on your hard drive.
There's two ways to remove them if they're not necessary:
iTunes - Phone Device - Checkbox "Only Sync Checked Music and Videos" below, then go to Movies and TV Shows tabs on iTunes itself and uncheck every single movie and TV show not needing to back up, then sync to remove them.
iTunes - Phone Device - Movies and TV Shows - Sync "None" versus "Unwatched" or "All", then sync to remove them.
Also, Video Camera movies if they are in your Photos. If they're on Camera Roll, remove those / move them to Photos. They take up large amounts of space.

Why liquid cooling? You want more noise and more power consumption and higher expenditures, without lower temps?
Corsair Hydro coolers do not give better cooling performance than air coolers from Cooler Master or Noctua, nor do they run quieter. They are only more expensive. Don't forget that air coolers in push-pull configuration have two fans, that are replaced by two fans on the radiator when using a Corsair Hydro. Unfortunately, the Corsair fans are pretty noisy, thereby defeating the intention of water cooling to make things more silent. Effectively, one replaces two fans with an average noise level of 25 dB with two radiator fans with 35 dB. If the cooling performance was better, that extra noise might be overlooked, but that is not the case. Up to around 4.8 GHz overclock, the performance difference between air coolers and Corsair Hydro is negligent. So, if you opt for Corsair Hydro coolers, you don't get better cooling, you do get more noise, more power consumption (because of the waterpump) and you spend a lot more.

I'm getting a new computer and need help

I currently have Elements 5 and CS3 on a laptop running Vista. I am getting a new laptop with Windows7, and plan to put Elements 9 on it. I have saved many projects using CS3 and Elements 5. My question is: After I transfer my saved projects to the new laptop, will I be able to open them with Elements 9? If not, what should I do?

Try:
- Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and then restoring via iTunes.

New user and need help!

I just bought my own iPod this weekend. My 16 year old daughter has had one for a couple of years. The problem is that she has "her" songs downloaded on my computer. I would like to put "some" of her songs on my iPod, but not all of them. How do I only put some of them on mine without downloading ALL of them?? Why can't there be two separate libraries for two separate people?
Also... my daughter wants to know how to delete songs from her library. Can anyone help?
Thanks! I may have more questions, so be prepared! :)

New here and need help with FX1 and FCE

Hey all -
I shot a lot of video this last summer on a Sony FX1 in HDV. I am capturing the video using FCE. I have my Easy set up for HD, 29.97, and HDV - AIC 1080i60.
I am in the US not using PAL.
I can capture the video fine, and export to quicktime fine. I get what seems is good video capture with the following problem:
My video looks fine in the view finder but once captured, it is desaturated and lacks any color.
I do not know much else about FCE. I do not want to do much editing, just grabbing and creating some .mov files for sharing. I just want to see better color.
Questions then...
1. How to boost color?
2. How to color correct for neutral density?
3. What size is best to save as largest size and quality?
I am viewing on a color corrected Apple Cinema Display 23" that I use to edit my photos and use Monaco Optix XR Pro with ColorEyes Pro.
Thanks.
Randal

Keep in mind that computer displays will not have the same gamma and color space of NTSC or ATSC television.

I'm brand new here and need help with invalid sim in 8120

Hi. I just got an 8120 from someone on Ebay who said the phone was unlocked. I have AT&T and when this phone is powered on it says Cincinnati Bell - and at the top of the screen it says Invalid SIM... I'm guessing either its NOT unlocked or maybe its just an incompatible phone... any ideas?

It sounds like you are absolutely correct. It was probably not unlocked or elase it should work with any sim you put in. There are a ton of sites to purchase the unlock code. Try a google search, most of the codes will run you about $30. You can also find sellers on Ebay that provide unlock codes.
