IS RAM installation the same for all new iMacs?

I want to remove the 4GB RAM from my 20" iMac (early 2008) and switch it for 2GB RAM from new 3.06 24" iMac. Is the technique the same for each computer?

Go to Crucial <http://www.crucial.com/store/listproductline.aspx?cat=ram&mfr=apple&submit=go> and find which Macs you have on their listings. That will tell you what RAM is in each.
If both are 800 MHz SDRAM, then they might be of similar configurations and could be swapped.

Mac Network : Path to server folders is not the same for all my iMacs users

Dear,
My company is using 10 iMac with OS 10.8.5 and 1 Mac mini with OS 10.8.5 server. For 7 iMacs, my applescripts works very well because the path to the shared folders on the server are logical. I mean : Volumes/Sharedfolder/folderA/folderAA ...
But on 3 iMacs, the path becomes Volumes/Sharedfolder-3/folderA/folderAA …      This -3 does not change after restarting the mac. Each of the 3 iMac have another number : -2   -4 and -3.
Do you have an idea of how I can solve this issue please ?
My server works well with AFP and SMB.
Best Regards

Is the installation file for adobe reader, the same for all the versions of windows ? Is it ?

Hello,
I want to know if the installation file for adobe reader is it the same for all the windows ?
It is because I have to do an automatic installation for XP, seven and windows 8...
It is also the same between 32bits and 64bits ?
Thanks.
Best regards
Sofia Luna

It may be worth mentioning two things.
1. Adobe provide extensive information on Enterprise Deployment of Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
2. You may well need a redistribution license to do this, if you are installing on behalf of anyone (accepting EULA for them), pushing, or hosting etc.

Creating a Master virtual hard disk and using the same for all other VM's

Hi,
We would like to create a master virtual hard disk and use the same for all other VM's. Can we do that ?
my requirements :
1) create 10 VM's
2) first create a master virtual hard disk with win OS and use the same to create the 10 VM's.
3) After creating the VM's change the HDD size.
              -- if i have created master virtual disk with 500GB , and use the same for creating a virtual machine. can we change the HDD size to 1TB ?
After creating the VM's ,i will change the system names and activate the windows accordingly.
Will there be any implications ,if we can/will do like this.
Thanks.

Hi Suren424,
I think Using Differencing Disks may cover your needs .
Please refer to following setps:
   "Create the Parent Virtual Machine Configuration and Virtual Hard Disk
    Install the Operating System, updates, and common software
    Generalize the installation
    Prepare the parent virtual hard disk
    Create the differencing disks
    Create virtual machines that use the differencing disks
For details please refer to follwing link:

My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back. It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back. It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

Wow! I think I had this same issue just last night.
I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside. Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly. It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle. Of course I took no pictures!!! I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
But I digress... The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect. After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though. There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top. After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen. I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background. After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle. After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange. But I believe that might be all in my head now.
So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

Passcode the same for all phones if not changed?

I just upgraded my iphone 4s to 6plus. i assumed my passcode would remain the same. its not. now I am locked out of the 6plus. I initially used the fingerprint option and now can't get into the phone. Why would the passcode not work on all phones with the same phone number? frustrating.

The passcode is set up individually on each device. If you enabled Touch ID, you had to enter a passcode. If you do not remember the passcode, you will have to restore the iPhone as new first, then you can restore your backup, if you have made one. See this support document for forgotten passcode. iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled

How do I permanently STOP the Bing Suggested Sites icon from being in the IE 9 toolbar for everyone and make it the default for all new users

Non of the other post on this subject were correctly answered and they are now old so here is a new thread for a question that a Microsoft Engineer should have answered a long time ago in one of the other threads.
I have IE 9 installed.
I am setting up my default profile which will be used for ALL users to configure their profile when they log on. All profiles are destroyed on system reboot. All PCs are frozen.
Every time I log in as a new user and open IE 9, the favorites bar shows up as I want it with NO BING Suggested Site crapware in site. Then about .5 secs after IE starts and the Favorites bar is shown, the EVIL "Bing Suggested Sites" button appears.
I can delete it and it seems to stay away until I delete the users profile folder etc and have them log in again. When the profile is recreated the Favorites folder does not have a "Suggested Sites" option in the c:\users\username\favorites\links"
folder. (I have deleted the hidden .ini files in the default folder) Nor does one exist in the "c:\users\default\favorites\links" folder from which the newly created user profile folder comes. But as soon as I start IE 9, one is created and placed
in the users favorites links folder. This MUST STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is UNACCEPTABLE. AND IT MUST BE STOPPED!!!!! Where in the Windows 7 x64 Enterprise OS is the location of this evil action and how do I PERMANENTLY delete it.
I don't EVER want to see the EVIL BING Suggested Sites button anywhere on the PC especially in the Favorites Tool bar on IE 9. An I expect/demand that Microsoft tell us how to 100% cannot fail get rid of it for ALL USERS FOREVER NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!! I
have spent a lot of time perfecting my default profile making sur that ALL options are decide by me NOT MICROSOFT. I NEVER USE SYSPREP as that will destroy ALL custom defaults every time.
When a user logs in in to one of my PCs and they start IE 9 they get REAL Google for the default search engine, not the version Microsoft will give you which first sends all search requests to Microsoft so they can spy on what you searched in Google for etc.,
but real Google, not sent to Microsoft 1st. (I'll bet more than 90% of the readers of this site did not notice how if you let Microsoft set your default search provider to Google, they fix it so that all search requests go to Microsoft 1st, before it gets
sent to Google. Look at the search string under manage your search providers, in IE 7 & 8. In IE 9 it is hidden, but still there. HOW EVIL OF MICROSOFT)
With my default profile IE does not ask how you want to set it up, I have already made those decisions. I have made all those decisions for my users. But as of recently I have started installing IE 9 and now this unacceptable BING Suggested Sites junk ware
keeps showing up. HOW DO I STOP IT. Do I have to put a line in my HOSTS file to send all request for Bing.com to 127.0.0.1 just to make sure that it can't be used. There by removing all possibility of my users ever being able to use Bing FOREVER.
I would rather not do that but unless a Microsoft representative will tell me how to keep that useless Bing Suggested Sites button from appearing on the Favorites tool bar I will have to. I would love to let my user decide if they want to use Bing and waist
their time trying to find good search results, but I will not have it forced on them and I will not allow it to be on the Favorites tool Bar ever. So will a Microsoft Engineer please tell us how to put a permanent end to the "Bing Suggested Sites"
button for ALL users ALWAYS FOREVER.
Thanks,
Ralph

Hi,
I suggest you try the steps in this thread for test:

Problem with "Group By" in Views - Not Displaying the Same for All Users

We have an Announcements List with its only View being set up to group by a metadata category field. We've done this many times on other kinds of lists and never had a problem. But with this list, about half the users can see only the ungrouped
set of announcements, whereas others actually see the items within their groups.
Those with "View" rights only can't see the grouped items - but that appears to be a coincidence as I promoted them to the same rights as others who can see them correctly, and that did NOT solve the problem. Everyone is using the exact same browser.
Note: the users who do NOT see the groupings see only a single category entry that displays only the name of the category list (but not the names of the actual categories within the category list). All the announcements are grouped under that one
entry for those users. This display looks exactly like it would if the categories had been left blank when the original announcements were created. But the categories are NOT blank, and the rest of the users can see them just fine, and the announcements display
within their appropriate groups.
I can't find anything in the View, the List Settings, or the User Permissions to explain this. What could be causing it, and how can I fix it?

Browser settings are controlled by central IT and are all identical.
The only difference I can detect is the second set of users (that don't see the category options) have only Read rights, whereas those with Contribute (or above) rights can see the categories. It doesn't make
sense that permissions would affect this, but I can't come up with any other differences.
Microsoft will not allow me to upload images. it says I can't upload images until they have verified my account, but there is no clue as to how, if or when that might happen. If you can tell me how to fix that, I can provide samples.

Using multiple email accounts, smtp from provider, sender's address is the same for all email accounts

Ok
I'm sure this is an issue for many of us, but I cant find a solution for this on the net.
So I had set up multiple email accounts. My main account is gmail, but I'm using several others. The smtp server had to be the same which was from my ISP for all email accounts (apart from gmail which has it's own).
Now, when I send email from these accounts, the sender's address will always be ***@virginmedia.co.uk. Obviously, since thats what the smtp is for.
But what if I want to send emails from these accounts and want to be the sender accordingly? like ***@yahoo.com or ***@freemail.com etc...
Is there a way to get around these? If they dont have their own smtp servers? Or they can only be used to send emails through their web-based email page?
Hope it makes sense, sorry for my crap english.
Thanks
Daniel

ITunes Music art stays the same for all songs

This just happened after the update before the most recent one. When I play my iTunes music through the ATV, the artwork in the big screen for Now Playing screen does not update. It shows one album for all songs. As shown below. All songs have the Rolling Stones artwork. I did a complete reset to factory settings a month ago and that fixed it, but now it is happening again.
The weird part is when I go to the home screen, I see the correct artwork - ACDC up in the left corner under the Now Playing window. It is only when it is expanded is when I have the problem.
This problem happens when I play both ITunes Match through the cloud, and my music through me iTunes library on my Pc.

That's what iTunes -> Preferences -> Playback -> Sound Check does - equalizes the volume across tracks to provide a more-even playback.

In the market for a new iMac - -What should i get???

Im planning on getting one of the new iMacs, yet I am very on the fence about which one I should get- the 20 inch or the 17 inch.
Which will have the better graphics, and by how much?
How much faster will the 20 inch be? (Both would be with 1gb of ram)
Does the 20 inch look bulky and clunky compared to the 17?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

It really depends on what you like, and how much money you can shell out. I would recommend looking at and using them in person at a local apple store if at all possible. I doubt the speed difference is noticable. Also, if you are using a monitor larger than 17 inches now, you might be disapointed with a 17 inch. It seems to be a much harder adjustment going from a big screen to smaller screen than small to big. I went with the 20 inch because right now I use a 19, and whenever I have to use anything smaller it drives me insane and i feel like I have no work space. Most people are perfectly happy with a 17 inch if they don't care about screen realestate or are not used to working on anything larger. I'd say go with the 20 if you can afford it, but if the screen size is not an important factor, you'll probably be happy with a 17.

How do I make my Catalog Settings stay the same for each new Catalog I create?

How to you set a default Catalog Settings parameter that is different from what the Adobe engineers have set us with?
I have 30" monitors here, so I want the standard preview size of every new catalog to be set to 2048 pixels.
I redundantly back up my catalogs via two different layers of hardware mirroring, so 'no' I don't want prompted once a week when I open one of various catalogs if I want to backup right then.
I have 50+ Terabytes of removable mirrored hard drive space, with individual project libraries that feed into 1.5TB master removable disk libraries, so I'd like to, by default, NEVER discard 1:1 previews, at least until Lightroom gets about 2000% faster in rendering them on the fly.
This is of hot topic for me since I just noticed Lightroom had been discarding 1:1 previews that I had spent large amounts of time creating just over a month ago as I've begun transitioning my archives from Aperture to LIghtroom. At any point, I'll maybe have access to only 1/15th of the actual DNG's in my catalog because they're offline, so keeping full sized previews of archived files is extremely important for my workflow.

John,
That's simple & perfect.
thank you.

I bought the Snow Leopard Update but now my macbook wont even accept the DVD and keeps ejecting it. This is the same for all DVDs.

I have a very old (refurbished, bought over 4 years ago) macbook pro 15". It's been running ok on OS X 10.5.8 until very recently. It started ejecting disks, and then the new adobe flash player update wouldn't work. Lots of other little things have been happening as well.
I had been considering buying a new macbook, but one of the Apple store people suggested I update instead (a much cheaper alternative!). So I bought Snow Leopard, and it arrived in the post today. But now my macbook wont even accept the dvd. It takes it in, whirs and complains a bit (for less than 60 seconds) then ejects it again. I have tried cleaning the disk, cleaning the disk area with a credit card + lens cleaner (a trick I saw recommended on this forum). But no luck.
Any advice?
I am a trainee teacher and actually will be gutted to have to get a new laptop (as I really cant afford it). BUT obviously if I have to I will. I just need to extend the life of this one for as long as possible, until I have more money to get a better one!

Bring your MBP to an Apple store genius bar and see what they say about your MBP optical drive.
Look on the OWC web site. They sell optical drives for older MBPs. Perhaps there is one that will fit yours. Installing one is not brain surgery.
Otherwise examine the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com web sites for replacements.
Ciao.

PDF created in ArcView does not appear the same for all users

PDF documents created from ArcView 9.2 with the "warm front 2" symbol in it do not appear properly on some users computer displays when opened. I have a handful of users who when they view these specific PDF's the symbol appears as a series of 4's. We are using Acrobat Pro 7.0.9 and all systems are running Windows XP Pro. In the handful of users experiencing this problem we have both laptops and desktops.

Probably did not embed the fonts in the PDF. Change the settings file to print (or press) and try again.

IS RAM installation the same for all new iMacs?
