Instructions how to install more RAM Intel iMac 17"

Does anyone know where i can find instructions on how to install more RAM? Preferably with illustrations.
Thanks,

It´s supposed to be a phillips 2 screwdriver. It may also be difficult to open the lid if the screwdriver is too sharp. In Sweden we don´t usually call it by that name. If I only had read my swedish owner´s manual I would have knewn, or if I just had looked at the bottom of the computer before I purchased a phillips 0 screwdriver. That screwdriver might be useful in other situations and was quite cheap though.

  • Debating whether or not to install more RAM????

    Hi I have a macbook late 2010. I currently have 2.4 GHz and 2 gb of ram. I'm debating whether or not I should buy and install more RAM. I was thinking I would either buy 2x4 or 2x8. Would this be a worth it upgrade. My only other option would be waiting another year, and buying a macbook pro then. Also is it even possibile to upgrade RAM on macbook? Any help would be appreciated, and please back up your answers.

    You're welcome. Based on your usage, your OSX, and the relative prices, I would go with 8 (2 x 4 GB) modules. This won't make your machine faster in a traditional sense...rather, it will prevent it from being slow...as it is now with extensive page outs. I would recommend purchasing the RAM from Crucial or OWC (both companies test  RAM extensively, are very reuptable, and provide 1 year warranty included).
    There is no late-2010 MBP 2.4 GHz model. Confirm RAM compatibility at crucial using their scanner tool:
    Scan your system to view your specific system configuration.
    You can confirm here as well:

  • Does installing more RAM void the warranty?

    I have a new MacBook that I bought in late January. After having to format my entire hard drive and reinstall Mac OS X because of playing Civilization IV: Colonization, I am interested in adding more RAM/VRAM to my MacBook. I noticed Apple put up a tutorial on how to install more; does this mean that doing so does not void the warranty I have on my MacBook? Also, is installing it easy?

    Also for future people it's very easy to change the RAM, open up the inside of the macbook pro, pop out the old RAM and click in the new, put the cover back on and turn on the macbook! it will take a longer time to boot up the first time, but then it will be much faster.

    You have shared RAM you don't have dedicated Video RAM that is shared with your regular Computer RAM.

  • Installing more RAM into my Macbok Pro

    Hey guys,
    I'm looking to install more RAM (from 2 Gb to 4 Gb) into my MacBook Pro (15.4" Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 Ghz) that I bought last September, and I'm strictly a software guy: I know little to nothing about hardware.
    What kind of RAM do I need to install?
    Also, I have the AppleCare protection plan. Will installing more RAM interfere with that at all? Do I need to have a Genius install it for me?
    I've installed a RAM, hard drives, and video cards before so I know I can do it myself if I'm allowed to by the plan.
    Thanks,
    - Keith

    Open your computer's User Guide. There's a whole chapter on upgrading memory in which the specifications are explained. If you don't have the manual you can download a PDF version from http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/.
    Installing RAM will not void the warranty unless you cause damage in the process.

    Im sorry for bombarding you with a bunch of questions.... but how much should a person be paying for ram. I noticed on the Apple site they have 4GB RAM for 100.00 but then you look else where and it 16.95 and up..... I am so confused.....

  • What do I gain by installing more ram ?

    Hi !
    I would like to know what are the advantages of installing more ram on my powerbook ? Would installing an additionnal 512 mb ram or 1gb ram speed up the idvd compression to dvd ? More generally while I gain performance on game graphics or video compression ( which takes quite a long time on a powerbook )?
    thank you

    Hi Yanis,
    No performance gain in graphics speed, no, but
    a smoother and quicker computer use in everything that uses "hard disk accessing" while running a task.
    Simplistic answer:
    The more RAM is available, the less tasks need to use Virtual Memory.
    And RAM is much faster than VM, too.
    If you often hear that your work uses hard disk accessing, then you'll be happy with extra RAM.

  • How to install Leopard in my iMac if it has no DL-DVD player?

    How to install Leopard in my iMac if it has no DL-DVD player?
    My eMac is:
    eMac G4/1.25 (USB 2.0) with 2GB RAM

    Most PPC Macs cannot boot OSX from USB, they need Firewire... that being said, out of 13 PPC Macs I had one that booted from USB Drives, including Flash Drives, it was my eMac/1.42GHz as a matter of fact, USB drives would show as a boot choice if I held the Option/alt key at bootup, (nowhere else), but It lost that ability when I reset the NVRAM.
    The USB boot workaround that works for some is...
    Connect the drive to your machine, and find out which partition the OS X system is installed on. I usually find this by going to Disk Utility and looking at the info for the partition on the USB disk with OS X. That is, disk2s3 is usually for a USB disk with no OS 9 drivers installed that is the second disk disk. disk3s9 might be a USB disk with OS 9 drivers that is considered the third disk. There are other ways of finding this out, but in my case, my disk is disk2s3 (the 3 on the end will come into play soon).
    Start up the machine in Open Firmware (this is the fun part). Hold Command-Option-F-F right after the machine is turned on.
    Here is the moment of truth. If this step does not work, I have had very limited success getting a machine to boot off USB2. In Open Firmware, type devalias, and you should get a list as output. In this list, look for ud, usually below where you see hd (ud is "USB Disk," I presume). If found, it will usually have beside it /pci@f2000000/usb@1/disk1, or something similar. Again, if you see this, I have not had this fail yet.
    Now type printenv boot-device, which will usually get you output of boot-device hd:,\\:tbxi. (See where this is going yet?)
    Type setenv boot-device ud:3,\\:tbxi where the number after the colon corresponds to that partition number we found in step two. You should get an ok back.
    Type printenv boot-device, and you should see the change displayed already. Something like:
    boot-device        ud:3,\\:tbxi        hd:,\\:tbxi"

    You'd need to clone the Install Disc to a Flash Drive, or make a DMG of it then Restore it to the Flash drive.

    OS X already comes with Gujarati fonts, so you don't need to install anything.  Can you not read this page?
    http://www.gujaratsamachar.com/
    If you want to type Gujarati, you need to go to system preferences/international/input sources and check the box for Gujarati, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar, plus the box for Keyboard Viewer.  Then select Gujarati from the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and type.  To see which key does what, select Keyboard Viewer from the same menu.
    I recommend you do NOT install Gujarati fonts from the internet, because OS X only works right with those provided by Apple.  Especially avoid non-Unicode fonts from long ago like Saumil.  The international standard is Unicode now.

  • How do I synchronise my Intel iMac's SPDIF audio input to an external clock source?

    How do I synchronise my Intel iMac's SPDIF audio input to an external clock source?
    I have a Focusrite ISA One microphone pre-amp with digital ADC card fitted. Both devices are set to 24 bit/44.1kHz and connected by Optical cable (from ISA One to iMac's optical SPDIF input)
    I've tried to get the iMac to slave to the ISA One's digital clock by looking in the Audio MIDI set-up but cannot get it out of 'Default' mode. Focusrite tell me it needs to be 'Locked' in the Mac but I can't see how to do that.
    The Mac recognises when I change the ISA One's sample rate because Pro Tools gives me an alert, which would suggest that it's receiving data. But all I am hearing on the input is digital white noise.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers!

    USB and FireWire work in very different ways, so there is no adapter.
    Instead, you should just get a USB 2.0 hub, like this one
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/USB2HB7PRO/
    There are many choices, but be sure to get one that is powered (it comes with its own power supply).  Cheaper hubs rely on the computer's USB port for power.

    I have tried and is doesnt' automatically load up when a program is placed in the drive.... its like it isn't reading it or something

    In addition to stedman's, you really should not need any software for your camcorder. What is it supposed to do? You already have software on your Mac to work with video: iPhoto and iMovie.
    Edit: take a look at this article:

  • Snow Leopard will not install on 2008 Intel iMac

    Trying to install a purchsed copy of Snow Leopard onto an Intel iMac (2008 model). System previously on system was 10.4.11. Started the first Upgrade attempt and the upgrade stopped at 33 minutes remaining - would not progress any further.
    Force power down and tried again selecting Upgrade. This time it got to 16 minutes and never went further.
    Next attempt I reformatted the drive, ran Disk Utility to Repair Disk (no problems detected). The ran a full install. Stops at 16 minutes.
    Tried again - Partitioned drive, erased drive, tested drive, ran installer - 15 minutes - no further.
    No error messages - nothing - it just sits there.
    Reset PRAM, reset SMU - same thing after another attempt.
    This system was running fine under 10.4.11. We just wanted to upgrade it to 10.6 for application compatibility requirements (10.5 or higher required to run latest version of application).
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Next I'd run the AHT (Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test) - if that picks up any hardware issue then you don't need to waste any more time troubleshooting. (Run the long test in the AHT, maybe loop it overnight if you're not in a hurry)
    After that I'd boot the machine in target disk mode (How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode) and boot the other machine to the install disk - you should then be able to install to the first iMacs HD, it'll show up with a firewire symbol when you "select you destination".
    If still having trouble, then I'd go into disk utilty, erase tab, options and select the "zero out data"" option. Then click the erase button. This will write to every byte on the HD, so an additional test of the integrity.
