Is it possible to upgrade to 16 GB RAM in the VPCF1290X?

Hi drs45,
Welcome to Sony Community!
Thank you for this message. It looks like you have a customized unit. May I know what is the serial number and the service tag of this one so that i can check the specs?
Thanks,
Jen

Hi drs45,
Based on the service tag number of your unit, the recommended memory for your Vaio VPCF1290X is up to 4GB (2G x 2). But since the unit this is a customized unit, we cannot confirm the current specification. You always have the option to upgrade the parts or accessories but we cannot guarantee that it will work without any issues since you want to upgrade it to 16 GB. I will send you a private message for more information regarding your concern.
Thanks,
Vincent.

Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012?

Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012? I have not found the option to do so.

My family owns and operates a non-franchise entertainment facility (miniature golf, laser tag, arcade, pizza, parties...). I have a design background, so among the many things I do here I'm also able to create marketing materials and an online presence in-house which would be too expensive for us to outsource. Over a five year period, that's given us a software cost of right at $1 per day since our CS3 license ran around $1800. Our customers are the public, and the package we try to push for walk-in traffic costs $50 for four people. In exchange, they get unlimited mini golf, a game of laser tag, and a large pizza. Not a bad deal. If we were to earn $1800 from that group of four every five years, assuming they spent $50 each visit, that'd bring them here close to two times every three months. For our type of business in a city of 118,000 tight-fisted Germans, that's about right.
What, are you trying make me feel GUILTY about being upset that Adobe's new strategy negatively affects my livelihood?
As far as Adobe's policy change announcement goes, I have no idea how it was announced. I DO know I was not sent an email notification, though they have my email address and record that I'm a CS3 owner. Presumably it was announced somewhere on Adobe's website, and further disseminated through various digital and print trade publications. I respect Adobe's right to not reverse its decision. If our business decided to put a sign on the front doors (since we don't have contact info for all of our past customers) saying we'd closed that night at 5 PM instead of 11 PM as usual, we aren't obligated to let in latecomers. But I'd also recognize their right to be mad at us for wasting their travel time. What I WOULDN'T do is tell them it's THEIR fault for not being proactive and calling ahead to confirm the expectation that our hours are still the same as they've been for the last decade. NOR would I be surprised if we didn't get their $50 that month. These Germans tend to hold grudges.

You can do it without any problem, but make sure you put the memory horizontally, so you will get the advantages of the Dual Channel. You can buy the memory in OWC or Crucial to make sure you have a compatible memory

Is it possible to upgrade a SD to HD on the Apple TV?

?

If you've bought or rented an SD movie you cannot upgrade to HD.
If you buy an HD film you can also download an SD copy in iTunes.
For TV Shows you cannot upgrade individual episodes or purchased series from sd to hd, but if you've only bought a few episodes of a season in SD and have the Complete My Season/Series option in iTunes it sometimes alloes you to complete the season in HD and you'll be able to get the SD episodes in HD too.
Confusing.

Is it possible to pay to add mroe ram to the n97?

so i got the white n97 and love the phone its got everything i could hope for in a mobile/cell phone... But when i try play mp4 movies or tv episodes if the video is in half decent quality it lags freezes for a few seconds all the time and sometimes even closes due to lack of memory the message says try closing some things when i have NOTHING open its stupid because ive had to empty my widgets have as little as possible one or two and multy tasking is not so easy with such little ram.. with one or two applications open it freezes...
i understand the n97 mini will have 512mb ram? but it also comes with half the drive space and the 32GB i need..
as the little says... if i take my n97 to a nokia store or somewhere would they add more ram if i pay extra .. maybe 512mb?

No you can't. Memory is soldered to the main board and is not interchangable I'm afraid.

I have not upgraded my Final Cut Pro in a while. Is it not possible to upgrade Final Cut Studio anymore? Do you have to buy the software seperate?

Is it not possible to upgrade Final Cut Studio as a whole? Do you have to now buy the software separately?

It is still possible to upgrade some versions of FCP, especially the Studios, As always, the upgrades apply to base versions that needed to be purchased. The latest version of Final Cut Studio is no longer for sale from Apple but it doesn't run on a PowerMac anyway. The only Final Cut Pro product currently for sale is Final Cut Pro X, which requires an Intel Mac.

I have a MacBook Air late 2010 with 4gb RAM and 128gb SSD, is it possible to upgrade that hard drive through a genius appointment?

As above, cheers

RAM cannot be upgraded - there are no RAM sockets - the chips are soldered to the logic board. The SSD can be upgraded through third party upgrades (see OWC) but Apple won't perform this upgrade. You'll either have to install it yourself (an easy upgrade though it could void your warranty) or have it installed by an independent Apple service provider.

Upgrading to 32 GB ram for late 2103 iMac 27"

Friends,
The computer I'm using is
I wish to upgrade this with 32GB (8GB84) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) Laptop RAM (CMSX8GX3M1A1600C10). Is there any problem using this memory? Also I've read in some threads that upgrading to 32 GB ram crashes the system? Is it possible to add 2*8GB and use the existing 2*4GB so that I'll be able to use 24 GB of ram?
Thanks in Advance!

I think that you would get more responces over on the Apple Desktop > IMac discussion thread: https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/imac_intel
instead of here at the Final Cut Pro X thread which only deal with editing. That said, I'm not sure that I would proceed with adjusting your Ram modules until you e-mail or speak with an Apple Qualified Technician.
I trust the people over at OWC - Macsales >>http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac
They are very knowledgeable about all things concerning Mac Hardware. They will know how to advise you.
Good Luck!

How to Upgrade HP 15-p121ne Ram

It's possible to upgrade HP 15-p121ne ram to 12 gb or 16 gb
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Here is the Service Manual:
Link to Download Manual
See pages 3 and 104. The Manual says 12 gigs is the max supported, but also says Intel models only have a single memory slot, non-customer accessible. Whatever memory slot configuration you have it requires removal of the motherboard to access it (them). Notice there is a single 16 gig module part referenced on page 104 but it says it is only for AMD models.
From all this my response to your question is a tentative "No". I am gathering that a single 8 gig module, which you have, is the maximum RAM configuration. Most people have no real need for more than 8 gigs of RAM. What are you trying to do that you believe you need 12 or 16 gigs?

Mac Pro's (early 2008) Back up plan towards a possible OS upgrade to Yosemite

Hello All. Here’re some of the details/background info…hopefully all this won’t be so annoying. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
I have 2 Mac Pro’s (Early 2008) 3,1 both running SL (10.6.8). One I have been using non-stop throughout these years, I’d call it MP 2008 (A). The other one once belong to a friend who actually bought it around the same time I purchased mine, only that he didn’t use it much and just recently decided to sell it to me. I’d call it MP 2008 (B). Both MP’s are very light on data on the main, boot HD, just applications,… as everything I work on is kept in external hard drives and backups. I do not usually download any third party stuff (only when strictly necessary for my work) and essentially it’s all about the software and applications (Adobe CS3 and LR 0.2) I need to do my pretty basic work.
All pretty old stuff by now, I know.
Following a couple of mishaps and lots of good advice in these forums, (thanks to the hatter, etc.) I went ahead and bought 16GB of RAM for both, and an NVidia Graphics Card (all from Amazon.com) for my MP 2008 (A) to replace it after it went bad, and everything has been working just fine. As you can tell, I have not tried to upgrade much, but rather keep everything stock and running as smoothly as possible.
I am afraid the next big, important thing I MUST do is back up my almost 6 years-old HD (I know, it should’ve been done long ago). Frankly, I have never done it before because I didn’t even know that could be possible…I learned about it right here, in this forum. In this sense, much I have also read (here) about the SSD option, and about how great of an upgrade that could be too, but I have decided to stick to the regular 3.5” for now. (I just recently found out those SSD even existed!). Hopefully, once I gain a bit of confidence on how this works I’ll jump into the SSD option, cards, etc. So, I purchased 2X 3.5” SATA III HD’s to try cloning my MP 2008 (A) boot, main HD and get this process over with.
QUESTIONS
QUESTION #1: After installing the internal hard drives in bays 2 and 3: Do I have to specifically format them in order to turn them into bootable copies? If so, how do I do that? I have read about using ‘Disk Utility’ to format external hard drives for this purpose but I don’t know if that would apply for internal hard drives as well.
QUESTION #2: What are the settings/features you all recommend I should select/or deselect on CCC so I can have exact, bootable copies of my original HD? No fancy stuff, advanced options, etc…just what I need to have good enough copies that just work.
QUESTION #3: How do I test them?
I noticed that under “System Preferences/System/Startup Disk” I can select the drive/system I want to use to start up my computer from. My question is:
QUESTION #4: Can I permanently choose any of the Mac Pro four (4) bays/bootable hard drives as the main drive/system for startup? I always thought I could only be done from the original, ‘main’ bootable drive in bay 1.
QUESTION #5: What if the copy fails? How do I go back to the HD that works or to the next copy, for that matter?
About my MP 2008 (B): In an effort to sell me his MP, my friend (as knowledgeable as I am) messed up something that delays the start up a lot. I noticed that in the finder, the applications appear double, etc., so I am not so happy with it. Even though the little house icon has his name in the finder, he was able to make me the Administrator for the machine (I don’t know how). But again, it starts up to the typical chime, then a gray screen for quite a loooong while, then the apple logo, then the loading animation…and theeennnn it starts…and no known issues from there. In other words, I am sure he messed something up there while transferring this machine to me and now its startup is so delayed.
QUESTION #6: Let’s say that both the bootable HD copies I created on my MP 2008 (A) work fine: Can I take one out and install it in my MP 2008 (B) and eventually turn it into my startup drive and work from there too? Will this eventually lead to conflicting stuff? (Two machines, same identical cloned start up drive??).
Eventually, the plan is that I learn how to do all this so I can move on and upgrade with a clean install of Yosemite pretty soon.
Hopefully, both my Mac Pro’s 2008 A and B will last me a bit more and I can get to squeeze a few more seasons from them. They are awesome machines!
As you can tell, in theory I might have a little bit of a clue, but all is in the details. If you don’t mind, please shed some light on this process I am about to begin…thanks a bunch!

Thank you!

Re: Mac Pro's (early 2008) Back up plan towards a possible OS upgrade to Yosemite in response to Juan Huerta
All new drives need to be partitioned GUID and formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled before they can be used.
OK, is that an option I'll be prompted to by the OS or do I have to "tell" that to...Disk Utilities (?)
If cloning is your purpose then use Disk Utility's Restore option. It will clone the drives and their Recovery HD partitions automatically.
I didn't know that Disk Utility had an option for cloning a bootable drive...is it better than CCC? (I have used neither one) I really would like to save $40 and avoid downloading additional software/applications...please if you don't mind...what option would that be once I click on "Disk Utility"? If you know of a good link or reliable article on the topic that will work for me too.
Test a clone be trying to boot the computer from it.
Any bootable drive in any bay can be used to boot the computer. Use Startup Drive preferences to set the desired boot volume.
Erase the target and try again.
But if the computer fails to start because I didn't create a good copy, how do I go back? Keyboard shortcuts? I keep reading that a wired keyboard must be used...and that's scary. If that's true, could I hook up any of my Windows based keyboards via USB?
Erase the drive and install OS X. You cannot use any software installed by the prior owner that was purchased via the App Store including OS X. You must start from scratch. (this actually is 5B rather than item 6.)
Well, he created an Admin account for me and I have been handling updates and everything with the new password he created for me. I wonder if I could access the Apple Store with my ID though...it's all under my name in that computer though, so I figure that at the Apple Store I'd just enter my ID...I guess, I have not tried that yet
Yes.

I got a mid 2011 macbook air 13 with 128gb ssd is it possible to upgrade my storage?

i got a mid 2011 macbook air 13 with 128gb ssd is it possible to upgrade my storage?

It is entirely possible, as many have known from day one (as ifixit's first teardown revealed). Unlike the unupgradeable memory, the SSD is a discrete expansion card that is removeable with just one screw, after removing the case cover. It is however debateable as to whether such an expansion is worth the possible risk of making demonstrable changes to the MBA whilst still under warranty. So you may want to stave off consideration for a while.
I made the upgrade recently on my older 2010 MBA, and it was easier than upgrading the HDD on my old MacBook Pro.

Is it possible to upgrade the 10.5.8 OS on a MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAm to the latest OS?

Is it possible to upgrade the 10.5.8 OS on a MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAm to the latest OS?

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Other countries...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Next... Check that your Mac meets the Requirements for Mountain Lion.
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
With Regard to ML... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion and Mountain Lion...
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
See Here > OWC RAM > http://www.macsales.com
The above site also has videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...

Qosmio E10: Is it possible to upgrade the graphic adapter?

Hello there,
I have a question regarding a Qosimio E10. Is it possible to upgrade the graphics Adapter to a more recent one. (Now : Geforce FX 5200 Go 64 Mb) Because the one i use now is ot of date and I dont want to buy a new notebook just because of a Graphics Card !
Thanks for your help
Marco

Hi
No, its not possible because the graphic card is a little small chip which was fixed on the mainboard. The graphic card design is not the same like on the PC desktop.

Satellite A100-207: Is it possible to upgrade graphic card for gaming

Hi
I am looking to buy the Toshiba A100-207 laptop and it comes with 128MB of shared graphics.
I would like to play games and I was wondering if I could upgrade the graphics (such as a nvidia card that I could buy and put in) or are the graphics fixed?
I would just like to know if I am able to upgrade?
Thankyou

Hi
In my opinion the graphic card and/or the CPU is not soldered on the new notebook generation. The parts should be simply plugged on the board.
But this does not change the upgrade situation.
Possibly you will be able to remove the graphic card but Im sure you will get compatibility problems with other hardware.
The stronger graphic card produces more warmness and the temperature would increases automatically to a higher level. This would lead to the overheating issue and the notebook would either shut down or not starts.
The desktop PC technology is simply different as on the notebooks. You can also not compare the different graphic cards. Notebook manufactures uses only the graphic card chips which dont supports an own cooling module.
Simply said its not possible to upgrade the graphic card.
