Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
Try a PRAM/NVRAM reset.
-Shut down the computer.
-Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
-Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
-Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
-Release the keys.

Not sure which is for your model, but if the above doesn't work, try a SMU/PMU reset:

Need Help finding Memory for Mac Pro

Hello,
I need to buy some memory for some of our computers and want to make sure I get the right ones. While searching I have yet to find one that actually says it is specifically compatible with our computers.
Here are the computer specs:
Model Name:          Mac Pro
Model Identifier:          MacPro1,1
Processor Name:          Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:          2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors:          2
Total Number Of Cores:          4
L2 Cache (per processor):          4 MB
Memory:          1 GB
Bus Speed:          1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version:          MP11.005C.B08
SMC Version (system):          1.7f10

Hardware UUID:          00000000-0000-1000-8000-0017F2046444
I know they need to be installed in pairs so I'm looking for either a 2GB Upgrade (2x1GB) or 1GB Upgrade (2x512MB).
Thank you in advance,
Randy

Yes, only one stick can be used. You can also have different capacities in each slot.

What kind of memory for my early 2008 macbook pro

Hi again,
I need an advice. Since I do not want to get a memory that would not be recognized by my macbook (again) I would like to ask you what memory do you recommend...
Corsair Value select
VS2GSDS667D2 PC2-5300 2GB 5-5-5-15 200pin SODIMM
http://www.corsair.com/products/valueselect/default.aspx
or
Corsair Value select
VS4GSDSKIT667D2 PC2-5300 4GB Kit 5-5-5-15 200pin SODIMM
(this is probably absolutely the same as above, but in a kit)
or
APACER Notebook Memory - DDRAM2 SODIMM PC5300@667MHz, 2GB
http://usa.apacer.com/us/products/NotebookMemory_DDR2-667_SO-DIMMfeatures.htm
Btw, sorry if it is a stupid question, but what is the difference between Corsair memory above and Corsair memory for MAC? http://www.corsair.com/products/mac/default.aspx#notebook
Thanks!!

Not sure about the difference, but I upgraded my 17" MacBook Pro using the Corsair 4GB kit (2 x 2GB). No problems since.
These are 667MHz (PC2-5300-CL4) Low Latency 4-4-4-12 SODIMMs (200-pin)
I imagine the 5-5-5-15 latency sodimm you mention are the latest version

Memory Upgrade for Mac Pro 1,1

Hello,
I have what I believe is a first generation Mac Pro. The system profiler says it's version 1,1.
When I bought it, I had an additional 2 GB of ram installed by the dealer for a total of 3GB.
Today I am trying to install a pair of 2GB DIMMS for a total of 7GB.
I bought the memory at my local mac dealer (Mac Enthusiasts in West LA). He asked what version of Mac I had and I said I thought it was first generation. He asked for the serial number, but I didn't know I needed one. I did however bring the manual and told him the date was 2006.
He assured me he had the right memory for my machine, despite my offering to get the serial number from home.
The point of all this is when I opened up my mac to install the memory, I was surprised to see that the original factory memory had HUGE BLACK HEAT SINKS on it. The second, dealer-installed memory had SLIM SILVER HEAT SINKS, and now finally the memory I bought today has NO HEAT SINKS WHATSOEVER.
Is it possible that memory technology has improved and newer DIMMS run cooler and don't need heat sinks? Or do I have the wrong memory? Is there any online guide or utility I can use to determine if I can use these modules?
Finally, here is the text on the sticker of the modules:
2GB PC2-5300 (667Mhz) DDR2 DIMM
The chips themselves appear to say "Lynnix" KOR
Please help.
Thanks,
P-FO

You indeed have the first generation Mac Pro. It can use up to 8 - 240-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 ECC fully-buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) in (matched pairs.) The modules should have an Apple certified or similar heat sink. Do not use DIMMs without heat sinks as they will not last and may be subject to frequent errors. The DIMMs must be fully buffered (FB) and must be error correcting (ECC) and installed in matching pairs.
Whatever your local dealer sold you if there's no heat sink, they aren't FB and ECC modules, then don't use them.
For proper installation see the following:
About RAM installation in the Mac Pro
Mac Pro memory arrangement photos
Mac Pro Memory Configuration
Memory Tests- "2008" Mac Pro
Ram should be installed minimally in matched pairs and optimally in matched quads. This means the memory modules are the same size and specifications. They should also be equipped with the Apple-certified style of heat sink.

Hello, I have two questions on time capsule I can only have it on my external hd files and free up my internal memory to my mac I can use an external hard drive, in my case a lacie rugged as shared memory for my two computers

Hello, I have two questions on time capsule I can only have it on my external hd files and free up my internal memory to my mac I can use an external hard drive, in my case a lacie rugged as shared memory for my two computers

I have a mackbook pro and an iMac if I buy a time capsule 2tb airport, I can use it with time machine and what would be the best way to use it.
There is no particular setup required for TM.. both computers will create their own backup sparsebundle which is like a virtual disk.. Pondini explains the whole thing if you read the reference I gave you.
and how to use time capsule airport whit other external hd to use my old lacie airport with the new time capsule
Up to you.. you can plug the external drive into the TC and enjoy really slow file transfers or you can plug it into your computer and use it as external drive.. which is faster than the TC.. and TM can include it in the backup.
Again everything is explained in the reference.. you are not reading it.

I'm trying to install Word for Mac, but it doesn't contain enough memory. Any suggestions?, I'm trying to install Word for Mac on my 10.7.4, but there isn't enough memory. Any suggestions?

I need to install Word for Mac on my MacBook OS X Lion 10.7.4, but there are two problems: 1) Microsoft sells only Office, not the individual programs, and 2) I don't have enough memory to do so (2 GB). Any suggesions? I'm currently using Pages, and it's worthless. Should I install more memory and buy Office for Mac? Is there another decent word processing program (preferably downloadable) that will convert my documents to Word?
Thank you so much for your help and suggestions!

I woud buy a 4 GB RAM package and install it. RAM is cheap these days and the additional RAM would also improve the performance of your other programs as well. I have used MS Office for Mac as well as other free downloads, i.e., Open Office and Libre Office. I have found that Open Office anf Libre Office perform just as well as MS Office and, because they are a free download also save you money. Another advantage is that they also contain a database, which MS Office doesn't have. They allow you to save files in MS format as well as standard text format. I ave also used Pages and feel it is satisfactory, although a little clunky to use. If you feel MS Office is the only program for you, then buy it and install it. You really should consider adding the additional RAM as it will improve the performance of all your applications.

Bridge for mac says No Memory on xperia z1 compact!!!

Hi, I am experiencing a problem. I hope someone here can help. When I connect my device to my MacBook Pro the contents display ok, but it indicates that the device memory is 100% FULL. I have an Xperia Z1 compact.I have 3.14GB used of 11.79GB internal storage, 1.21GB used of 1.69GB RAM and 5.6GB used of 7.2GB SD card storage. I had to send the handset for repair, and when it came back (having been wiped clean by o2 service centre) I restored from the Bridge for Mac backup I had taken before it was sent away. The restore went ok, but didnt restore all of the apps I had had on my phone. (Not sure if it should have or not.) I am now trying to restore again having reinstalled some of the apps manually. Bridge for Mac indicates that the memory on my handset is full. It is not. It will not allow me to do anything in terms of restoring as it thinks there is no available memory! I am using BfM 4.1(4104)Android 5.0.2 Why is this not working? Thanks

Hi uliwooly here you go. ,

Office for mac - Word error message "insufficient memory"??

I'm not sure if I'm in the right help section, so apologies of not and point me in the right direction?
My problem: I copied about 2 pages of text in a Microsoft Word (for mac) document, opened a blank document, and attempted to paste the text there. The text transferred, but when I attempted to save the document Microsoft closed, without saving, and offered to send an error report.
Alternately, I copied the text, closed Word, re-opened it to a blank document, and again attempted pasting the text. This time, an error message pops up that says "Insufficient memory. Save document now." after which it will let me save the document, but won't let me paste anything. So confused.
Thanks for any help!
(I also emptied my trash, just to free up some space and see if that helped, but even though its been ages since I've done it it didn't seem to make a difference.)

How exactly do you specifically update Office? I ran software update, but nothing for Office came up.
Choose "Check for updates" in the an Office program's Help menu.
Just to check if it worked, I opened the original document and selected Save As, and it allowed me to save it under a different name and re-open the doc, and then edit and save it - so I can go ahead with my work, but it would still be good to resolve the issue.
Hopefully just updating will take care of it. Just remember than an "insufficient memory" error never means insufficient memory. It means the program is buggy. While very powerful, Office is somewhat on the buggy side. It is updated pretty frequently however.
If you continue to have problems, there may be some specific issue that is causing your problem and can be fixed. The best place to investigate that would probably be Microsoft's own support forums.

Memory deficiency related to AutoUpdate shipped with Office for Mac 2011

Hi ,
I am experiencing memory deficiency associated with Microsoft AutoUpdate for about a month or two.
Environment
* Macbook Pro with 8G RAM, 256GB SSD Running Mac OS 10.10.1 (Yosemite)
* Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 installed through my Office 365 University subscription a few months ago.
* The "Outlook 2011.app" has been deleted and is substituted by the new Outlook for Mac 15.3 (141024), as is suggested by its installation note.
* System and Office languages are both simplified Chinese.
Symptom
Office programmes like "Excel.app" regularly invoke Microsoft AutoUpdate (Version 3.0 (141024) ) and suggest that a new update is available. If the user agrees, AutoUpdate will proceed to download the update. It is found by monitoring memory usage using "Activity Monitor.app", the memory usage rises significantly overtime a short while after the download begins. And the memory usage eventually saturates a few minutes later and the system warns instability due to memory deficiency, and suggests force quit some apps.
* No other app seems to be causing this problem, which is verified by quitting any app other than "/Library/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app".
* The symptom is reproducible for today's update, and it was the same for the last update. But as far as I can remember, the auto-update worked well before that.
The problem makes auto-update impossible and has resulted in instability and loss.
The workaround that I have at this time is to download the update package (.pkg in .dmg) from Microsoft Download Center by following the Knowledge Base link given by AutoUpdate instead of having AutoUpdate do this for me.
Thank you for reading this far :-)
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

Crucial Memory for Nehalem Mac Pros?

Taking delivery of new Mac Pro tomorrow (dual 2.66MHz i7s) and need to add more memory. I've always had good luck with memory from Crucial. Anyone upgrade their memory for these machines yet? If so, from where? My new machine is coming with 6GB, but does it come in 1GB or 2GB sticks? ie. will I need to throw away the stock RAM? On second thought maybe it's better to do that anyway so that all the memory matches...
Any thoughts?

Take a look at this review: http://barefeats.com/nehal04.html
There is an open debate whether 3 sticks of RAM are better than 4 in these new machines. Something about groups of 3 allow for triple speed access, and groups of 4 reduce it to double speed access. I am sure I butchered that explanation. Check out the link from Barefeats. They explain it better.
