JUST TO MAKE SURE....

i just bought some ram from 18004memory.com and this is what i got:
2GB KIT (1GBX2) DDR 333 PC2700 FOR POWERMAC G5
i have the 1.6ghz g5 and wanna make sure this will work for sure. or other wise i am an idiot. thanks!

I read more and more about RAM problems and making sure you have Mac compatible RAM upgrades...
I have added RAM to my G5 twice... I walked into CompUSA, told them the type/speed/size I needed and they sold it to me with no questions about my computer.
It has always worked fine for me.
Did I get very very lucky (twice)?

TS1424 I usually listen to a full 30 seconds of a song if I think I want to buy it just to make sure. All of a sudden I am only getting a 5 second clip so I've stopped buying for now. Ideas?

Depending on which country's store you are in, the previews are supposed to be either 30 or 90 seconds.
The last few days there have been several posts here that they are not getting the full preview. There is certainly no setting to control that, so I suppose the problem is at the store.
My suggestion is to try again in a few days, or to purchase from another online music download retailer.

Video and audio not sync when i play all forms of video. from music videos, to tv shows. but they play perfect on my iPod. and tv shows display out of order on iPod, but in correct order on iTunes/computer. I even ran a virus check just to make sure.

audio and video do not syncronize. all forms of videos. music videos to tv shows. what do i need to do the syncronize them again
they are in sync on iPod, but not on computer.
another issue that might be from the same cause is, the order of episodes of the tv shows i have downloaded, they appear in order on computer, but on iPod they show out of order.
any tips on how to fix this would very much help.
thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
An old version of iTunes will cause this and mess up the videos on your iPod. Always make sure you always use an up-to-date version of iTunes.
Make sure all the software on your computer is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
You will then need to restore the iPod and then let iTunes update your iPod and put your music, videos, etc. back onto your iPod...
Restore the iPod

Changing Macs!! How to Make sure to get everything from old macbook!

Hi, Im just about to get a new Imac but I would like to know the most comprehensive way of transferring absolutely everything about Logic 8 from my macbook to my new computer. Including all my songs, settings, plug ins, everything.
Also the new Imac runs snow leopard, whereas my macbook is on Leopard, will this make a difference, should I ask them to put Leopard instead on there.
thanks

If it's a new iMac, then AFAIK you can't put Leopard on it. It has usually been the case with Macs that as a general rule, they won't allow you to install a system version earlier than the current version available at the time they are shipped.
If I were you, I'd update my current machine first.. I'd do the following: First step, buy a separate FW hard drive (or use one you have already that you can completely wipe, as long as it's at least as big as your system drive). Then using Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper, I'd make a clone of the system (as in the Leopard system you currently have) to this drive. That way you've got everything backed up nice and safe. Then, I'd go ahead and update the current computer to the latest version of Snow Leopard, and (me personally), I'd update to Logic 9.1 as well. I'd then do a comprehensive clean up and system repair on this drive (using onyx, disk warrior or your 3rd party utility of choice) just to make sure it's as lean and mean as possible. Then when the new iMac arrives, using Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper, I'd use the newly prepared system as the source to 'clone' itself to the system drive of the iMac, by connecting the MacBook to it in FireWire target disc mode. By doing this, you'll transfer your entire computer to the new machine, applications, plug ins and all, and it will be using a version of OSX that the iMac will be able to work with. The only possible hiccup I can think of is that if you have plug ins authorized to the MacBook, it's possible that the machine ID won't match anymore so you'll have to do authorization again. But just check with the manufacturer of your plug ins for the procedure on this. It may involve you having to de-authorize them first from the MacBook, so get informed on this before you do anything.
Anyway, this procedure should get you transferred relatively painlessly. I know there is also a way to accomplish the same thing using Time Machine and doing a 'migration' to a new machine, which (I think) is offered to you when you first startup the new Mac. This may also be a good way to do it, but because I've never tried it I can't comment. If you have an Apple store in your area, maybe it's a good idea to get an appointment with an Apple 'genius' when you take possession of your new iMac.. I think they offer assistance with the migration process, so if you went in with your old MacBook you may be able to just sit there and watch them do it for you.

How to make sure mac is clean from "find my mac" before buying second hand?

Hello.
I plan to buy a mac second hand.
The original owner say he removed it from icloud's and wiped it.
So from what I understand, it should be completely disconnected from his apple id, from the internal firmware safety locks, and he will not be able to accidentally (or not) to lock or remote wipe it, ever. Is this correct?
I would like to know if there is a way to confirm this.
If I enter the mac, do a new wipe and reinstall just to make sure, insert my own iCloud and apple id, and turn on the "find my mac", and I won't get a message that the mac is already in someone else's list, this means that the mac is safe and isn't on anyone's list like a father, son, daughter who accidentally linked it or something.
I know the seller is the original owner. I just want to make sure the iCloud and apple id are no longer linked to the computer. Just on the safe side.
I just don't want any issues along the way in 2-3 years from now.
Thanks.

You need to be able to see that Find My Mac is turned off. That is all you need to ensure.

I have just switched to samsung and i have removed the sim from the iphone however i am still receiving texts rather 'imessage' on the old iphone. how do i make sure all messages only come to my new phone??

You can turn iMessage off on your iPhone. That's relatively easy. Since iMessage is an Apple product/service, I have no idea how a Samsung phone will deal with an incoming one. For that answer you should probably contact Samsung support.

ITunes RADIO is not working. "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again." Try as I may, as many as ten attempts, trying to connect after restart, after shutdown, nothing works. Just so - iTu

iTunes RADIO is not working.
“iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your internet connection is active and try again.” Try as I may, as many as ten attempts, trying to connect after restart, after shutdown, nothing works. Just so …
iTunes STORE not “connectable” with my otherwise perfectly-working internet connection, viable, up and running for all other uses.
Simply put, firstly, I can't connect to the internet when I click on Radio. People are quite suspicious that this is Apple incompetence or your company's famous arrogance for this commonly-suffered problem that you won't or “can’t” fix.
Read the many web comments and you won’t be pleased with yourselves: the suspicion is that if you ruin internet radio on iTunes, Apple will somehow make more money on music downloads, etc. Bull.
Also, thirdly, my old playlist of 20 or so internet radio stations in the Ambient category STILL PLAYS !
Then fourth, I installed the latest available version of QuickTime Player 7.app Version 7.6.6 but it didn’t solve the problem either. I had QuickTime Player.app Version 10.2, but substituted what Apple website said was the latest, LOWER NUMBERED QuickTime Player version of 7.6.6
Fifth, I can't connect to iTunes store no matter what I do or what user group's advice I try. So I can’t buy or download anything from iTunes. Bad for business.
Sixth, I updated to the latest version of iTunes but this weird problem remains. All suggested Apple fixes or user group fixes are useless. Where is Apple’s famous technical competency, vaunted customer support?, and user-friendly product reputation? Get it back, please.
Solve this problem of yours ASAP for us, your numerous disgruntled, dissatisfied customers of iTunes. You can do better, should, and really –in all fairness- must.
===============================================================
NOTE: no password for iTunes exists in my Keychain. Is this a problem?
Apple ACCOUNT ID, and iTunes ID password, works but not to access iTunes with my healthy internet connection.
Apple store id It works via direct internet connetion but not through iTunes. Very strange.

I want to take remote access from an iTunes library off of my iPad ...when I hit edit from the remote app it pulls that library up ..if I delete it I just want to make sure that I'm not remotely wiping out the library, just access to it from my iPad ?

Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

10.6.8 cannot access iCloud's facilities - you can set Mail up manually and there is a hack which some people have used to sync calendars (see below) - you cannot sync any other type of data.
This is the situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard:
Your email, calendars, and 'Find my iPhone' will be migrated to iCloud. Contacts and Bookmarks cannot be migrated from a Snow Leopard Mac.
Your iDisk, together with website hosting and Gallery, will continue to work as before until next June.
Syncing of Dashboard Widgets, Dock Items and Keychains between Macs, and Mail Accounts, Mail Rules, System Preferences, Signatures & Smart Mailboxes between Macs & iOS devices, will cease altogether.
You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).

This what I have been trying...... Maybe my eyes are screwed up or don't understand the process....
What I have been trying to do is squint and make the apple disappear by moving the sliders around in each step. Is that correct?

I need to delete all my pictures off of my iPhone because I have run out of storage. I have downloaded all pics to my mac but is my entire camera roll backed up on iCloud as well? I just want to make sure before I delete them from the phone.

I need to delete all my photos off my iphone because I have run out of local storage. I have synced with my Mac but also wanted online backup. Are all my photos from the camera roll uploaded to iCloud? I just want to make sure I can retrieve them after I erase from the phone and in case my Mac crashes.

Import photos through iPhoto. (You will prompt to delete from iPhone when import competes).
Backup your Mac. (At least the iPhoto Library)
Backup to iTunes.
Backup to iCloud. (Check in Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage>your device name>Camera Roll ON).

I just backed up my ipod because I sold it and I am not quite sure how to access it to make sure I saved everything

If anyone could please help I just sold my ipod and backed it up on my computer, and I am not quite sure how to access the info to make sure it all got saved before I ship it off.

Unless you redeemed an iTunes gift card into that account. just start all over with the correct email address.

I just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and before I delete my old phone, I want to make sure all my photos were in icloud, but I can't find them anywhere. Why? I know it may take weeks to download my 14,000 pics, but I want to make sure they're there.

Extract the photos from the phone to your computer like you would with any other digital camera.
PhotoStream is NOT permanent storage and iCloud photos is in beta, meaning it's not fully cooked yet and you may lose data stored in it.
