Looking to upgrade my RAM to 8 GB, what should I buy?

This is the laptop I recently purchased to keel me over while I build a desktop over the next few months, my last laptop's Hardrive and Graphics Card burned out. Looking to upgrade the RAM from the measly 4 GB to 8 GB but I am unsure of what I should buy or if I can even upgrade the RAM at all. I've done some research through the HP guide to Upgrading Memory but it is very general. Much appreciation for any help.

In general most macs you buy are the same. If you will be doing quite a lot of editing of photos and videos, then the big things to look for are:
Processor - 2.8ish GHz Intel i7 4-core - is about the best I have head of thus far.
RAM - fairly easy to upgrade yourself, but 16GB is typically more than you will need for the next 5 years at least.
iLife is reasonably good software for editing media, but as a photographer, you may have your own prefered software
The good thing about Apple is that they don't sell ****** computers in general. They offer little in the way of customization of hardware which is both their strength and weakness.

If I have a 2009 iMac, can I upgrade to use it with Apple TV. It doesn't have Airplay capability. If possible, what should I buy?

You need a newer 2011 or later iMac to use Airplay.
Sorry.
For older Mac, look at an app called AirParrot

I noticed that Find My iPhone on iCloud hasn't worked since iOS 8 came out. My device uses iOS 7. My question is: do I need to upgrade my device? If not, what should I do? I do not wish to upgrade my device.

I noticed that Find My iPhone on iCloud hasn't worked since iOS 8 came out. Whenever I try to use it, it always says "All Devices Offline." This is regardless of whether I am in a good Wi-Fi zone or not. I like to use Find My iPhone to remotely track my battery charging status whenever my phone is charging in a different room. That's been really handy, which is why I really need to get this fixed. No matter what computer I use, the problem is always the same.
My device uses iOS 7. My question is: do I need to upgrade my device? If not, what should I do? I do not wish to upgrade my device, especially considering the bad things I've heard about iOS 8.
Feedback would be welcome ASAP.

You don't need to update to iOS 8 to use Find My iPhone. If you haven't already tried, go to Settings>iCloud>Find My iPhone and turn it off, then reset your phone (hold the sleep/wake and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release). After it restarts, turn Find My iPhone back on and see if it works properly now.

Wait until Adobe updates the Flash Player.

Looking to upgrade my RAM

Can I replace my current 2G 1067MHz memory with 4G 1333MHz? Or will I have to upgrade to 4G of 1067MHz memory?
Thanks,
Ben

Ben,
I have used

Hope this helps.

I am looking to upgrade the RAM on my Macbook Pro 13'' late 2011 model. any good places to buy from or tips would be great

any good places to buy from or tips would be great

Two of the best are Crucial and OWC, http://www.macsales.com both are Mac specialists and have great support and lifetime warranties. Avoid memory such as Kingston Value Ram as many on here have had a great deal of problems with it.
OWC has on-line videos that lead you through an installation.

Ze4904us with 256mb ram. What should I buy and where can I buy it to expand ram?

I can't open my paid program due to "failed to import cxutils module into python." after upgrading to OS X Yosemite. What should i do?

please help me to fix this problems. i can't open my paid study program due to " fail to import cxutils module into python."

I have the same exact error message appearing several times per day but I have not succeeded in finding the source of the problem.
Any ideas guys?
The problem started as soon as I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite.

I have not upgraded to Lion, but am getting upgrade notices from my apps. What should I upgrade or not?

I keep getting upgrade notices for Lion compatabilty but I do not have Lion installed yet. How should I handle those upgrades?

Be very careful with upgrading to Lion. Upgraded my MBP 15" early 2011, the day Lion came out, but have been plagued by reduced battery life (i can now get only 2-3 hours after the upgrade). Rosetta support is gone. I would wait until Apple is back in the true apple mode and not like Microsoft. Lion (current version) is not worth the upgrade.
I went to the Apple store to have them check my battery, but they could not find anything wrong and incidentally both the "Genius" support technicians i spoke to had not upgraded to Lion. There needs to be a reason behind it. I bought my MacBook Air 11" (new) a couple of weeks ago. Apple claims 7 hour battery life on them. I charged my MB Air with 100% charge when i booted the machine it showed that it had 5:08 hours left on the battery. Over the time it took me to type this message, the time left has gone down to 3:58 hours left. This on a machine that apple ships with Lion tells me that there is a HUGE battery/power management issue with Lion.
I moved to Mac simply because I needed and could get long battery life. That has been defeated by Lion.

I cannot download the uptade for adobe reader. It looks as if there is a bug. What should I do?

I cannot download the update for ad adobe reader. Why? There is a bug.

Calling it a bug doesn't make it so. More likely something is wrong on your end, but since you haven't provided any info on your system or otehr details, nobody can help you.

Upgrade the ram on my 4710s Probook.

I am looking to upgrade the ram on my Probook 4710s. When I look up the specs of the part number VA024PA#ABG it says the it can use DDR2 or DDR3. see http://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetPDF.aspx/c01722937.pdf
This does not sound right. I ran a program called CPU-Z and it indicates that I have 2 x 2048 Mb DDR2 modules installed.
Is it possible to use DDR3 RAM in this notebook?
Also, why does my System Properties show that I have 2.96GB or RAM?
Thanking you in advance. John

DDR3 is cheaper and faster but the modules are different so they will not fit your laptop. You should be able to run 8 gigs but 4 gig modules of DDR2 are still prety expensive and I doubt the upgrade would do a lot for you. You have 3 gigs useable because of video use and also you likely have a 32 bit operating system. If you were going to try to run 8 gigs you would have to install 64 bit.

Upgrade my RAM on my MBP (late 2011)

I am looking to upgrade my RAM on my MBP (late 2011). The Apple option is a little expensive for me at the moment. I have been doing a bit if reading and Crucial seem to have 'certified' options. Does anyone have experience of this type?

It's pretty easy to do yourself. Go to OWC to find tutorials as well as check the user guide for the computer - usually in Chapter 3.
Brand is not a major concern when purchasing memory. Crucial products are no better than most others even non-brands. Buy from a reliable vendor and only buy a product that comes with a manufacturer's lifetime guarantee.
In addition to OWC another good vendor is DataMem.
