Memory upgrade not working

I ordered 8GB memory for my imac mid-2011 model.
I then tried to install and all I'm getting is three beeps telling me there's something wrong with my memory.
I've tried all configurations but can't get the 2x4gb modules to work.
I've had to stay with only the original 2x2gb ones it came with.
Can anyone please help.
The only difference, besides the size, between the two modules is that on the 4gb ones is says PC3-10600S-9-10-F2 and the 2gb ones say all the same except instead of F2 at the end it's F1.
Cheers.

Which would seem to suggest that you may (unusually) have a doubtful memory module. Less unusually, you would have paid over the top for it.
Many people on these forums speak well of the following suppliers.
In North America contact OWC … Upgrade Apple iMac Memory
In Europe contact Crucial.com … RAM Memory Upgrade
Both companies have facilities to guide you and will recommend the correct memory package to meet whatever needs you describe to them.
There may be benefits buying from your own geographical location insofar as Shipping charges, Local sales taxes and Exchange rates. Check out the basic memory costs and do your sums next time you buy.

Exchange mail after iOS 8 upgrade not working

exchange mail after iOS 8 upgrade not working.
I can not get email from my exchange account.
Any suggestion?

Just had this issue. I turned WIFI off and it connected fine. Then turned WIFI back on and working as always.
It had something to do with the WIFI conflicting with the exchange server.

Max Memory Settings Not Working (SQL Server 2008 R2)

I have 12 GB ram in sql server 2008 R2 of 64 bit server (Windows 2008 R2).
I have set the Max memory setting to 12288 MB Memory setting.
Still the usage of sql server process is around 14 GB.
Is Max memory setting not working?
I have also enabled AWE after all it is 64 bit.
Thanks

Problem is that: my OS is halting due to this RAM. I have 16 GB of ram and assigning 12 GB to SQL SERVER and rest is using for OS. Please guide me how to get information about actual memory usage from all sql server processes. like
all CLR etc
Hi,
Are you also running SSIS/SSAS/SSRS with database engine services. What do you mean by OS is halting ?
If you want to check whether SQL Server is facing memory crunch please have a look at perfmon counters from
this link
Sys.dm_OS_memory_clerks would be DMV helpful in tracking memory utilized by various processes
I have also enabled AWE after all it is 64 bit. Thanks
Please note AWE doe snot have any notable affect in 64 bit system.
Below will tell you memory used by SQLCLR
select single_pages_kb + multi_pages_kb + virtual_memory_committed_kb from sys.dm_os_memory_clerks where type = 'MEMORYCLERK_SQLCLR'
Below query will give you memory consumed by various clerk
SELECT type, SUM(multi_pages_kb)
FROM sys.dm_os_memory_clerks
WHERE multi_pages_kb <> 0
GROUP BY type
ORDER BY SUM(multi_pages_kb) DESC
Can you reduce max server memory to 11 G and see if it gives some relief

HELP! - Lumia 800 memory card not working :/

My phone decided to go into the notorious restart loop - So following everyones advice on teh internet I performed a hard reset.
It loads the orange sign - then the Nokia sign - then the windows mobile sign as if the phone is about to start with the noises etc... then it decides to goto a screen says
"MEMORY CARD NOT WORKING
Your memory card has changed, is damaged or is non-compatible.
To fix this, turn your phone off and either remove the memory card or replace it with a new compatible card. Then reset your phone to the original factory settings.
To learn how to reset your phone, refer to the owner's manual"
I also get the option to make an "emergency" call or "turn off" the phone. the volume buttons also work the volume fine aswell as the option to change the phones mode from silent to vibrate or vibrate and ring.
Tried hard reset numerous times, tried charing the phone for hours on end and trying it, tried soft resets. Basically the only options i've found.
Just to add.... Why would a phone with no memory card slot even have a message stating that the memory card is faulty and that i could even remove or replace it???
I hope someone manages to help me without having to cough up £50 excess to my insurance.
Anyone come across this before?

Sorry, it's my standard response, but your phone doesn't work. Take it back to whoever sold it to you. It's a consumer good, consumer protection rules apply.
Your problem certainly has novelty value but if you've done the hard reset and it didn't work you're at the end of the fix it yourself stage.

Tiger to Snow Leopard upgrade not working out

I bought the Mac Box set over the weekend and tried to install it yesterday. We were running - I think - 10.4.7, and wanted to upgrade to 10.6 in order to run some game apps our kids got recently. Right from the get go, things did not go well. On installing the OS, I repeatedly got an "Installer quit unexpectedly" message. We tried rebooting but it just kept doing the same thing - Installer quit unexpectedly. After a few minutes, we realized that the OS did in fact install OK, but all the other Optional Install materials were not installing. So, it seems, the QuickTime update and anything else included was not installing. They still won't. The iLife and iWork packages won't install. And aside from Firefox, all our apps are not working now. I don't mind reinstalling the apps - but nothing will install!!! Should I uninstall 10.6 and try again? Not sure what to do at this point.
John

For an install of Snow Leopard (as opposed to updating it), I would not worry about updating the previous OS version nor about repairing that version's permissions. The Snow Leopard installer is much different from previous ones & does little more than test the target drive & write some pre-install files to it before rebooting from the DVD's copy of Snow Leopard, which it does as root user. And if it can't do those pre-install steps, it quits with an error before rebooting from the DVD.
So, if it successfully reboots from the DVD, permissions on the target HD are irrelevant (because root user has essentially unlimited access to the HD's files, even to the few that can be changed only when starting up as root user) & the old OS version even more so because it is completely replaced by the new one.
Also, it is not necessary to run fsck or Disk Utility's 'repair disk' step if the installer successfully reboots from the DVD because one of the pre-install steps does exactly the same thing as Disk Utility's 'verify disk' step, so if it gets this far, you know the corresponding repair would find nothing to do.
If it gets this far & you get an "Installer quit unexpectedly" message before the final reboot into the login screen, you probably have one of the following problems:
• A hardware issue of some kind, including a defect in the optical drive that prevents it from reading all the files on the DVD accurately, one or more substandard or out-of-spec memory modules (especially if any are 'generic' aftermarket ones), or in some subsystem of the Mac (graphics processor, power supply, whatever). Running the Apple Hardware Test from your original gray installer disc will often (but not always) detect this kind of problem.
• A defective, scratched, or dirty Snow Leopard installer disc. This is particularly a likely cause if the installer quits at about the same point in the process each time. Visually check it carefully for any signs of damage or contamination & if possible test it with another Mac.
• An attached peripheral that is interfering with the install process. Disconnect all but the essential ones (keyboard & mouse for an iMac) & connect them in the recommended way: keyboard to a USB port on the Mac & mouse into a keyboard port if they are wired. Then try running the installer again. Note: this does not apply to a network connection to the Internet, which is used in the pre-install phase to try to contact Apple's list of incompatible software & update what is on the DVD's list.
• A nearly full HD. The pre-install tests do include a check for enough space for the installation but since this is not completely predictable there is small chance the installation process will run out of scratch space to assemble files if you are very near the calculated limit. The installer typically needs about 6 GB of free HD space for this, so try to free up an additional several GB if you are close to this limit before doing the install. However, note that the final OS installed will need at least this much scratch space once it is running, so plan accordingly. 10 to 15% of the total drive capacity is a rule of thumb many recommend.
There are other issues to consider if the process completes & reboots into the login screen but that doesn't sound like what's happening here.

RAM upgrades not working

Hi all,
I've been wanting to upgrade the two 512 M DIMMS that came with my PowerBook to a pair of 1 G DIMMS.
I purchased a pair of DIMMs from a retailer I found in MacWorld (A1A Computing) and when I tried calling them after my computer kept crashing, it took way too long for them to refer to it as "Customer Service". Ultimately, after contact and returning the pair, they sent a new pair but the wrong type.
After several more interminable attempts to reach them, I finally did and they were reluctant (to put it nicely) to help. I told them I wanted a refund and had to go through VISA to get it. This is not an honorable dealer.
Next, I went to OWC (nice folks) and the first pair they sent didn't work either - crashes, freezes, etc.
In each case, when I restored the original DIMMs all was fine.
I zapped the PRAM, NVRAM, ran the Hardware test (which came back fine) and then ran Rember, which found problems (same as it did with the ones from A1A).
I got a new pair from OWC and immediately ran Rember, which found problems.
I tried removing one of the DIMMs (left one in the bottom slot), reran Rember and it said fine.
Same when I swapped out for the other DIMM.
Then I tried putting the DIMMs, one at a time, into the top slot. Each time, Rember found errors.
I've heard of a bottom slot issue with the 1.25 G PowerBook but never anything about the top slot.
In every case, my system recognized the full 2 G RAM but there are crashes and freezes until I restore the original DIMMs.
Both the originals and the ones from OWC are made by Hynix.
I've saved Rember logs for the new DIMMs in all the tests I described above.
Before returning them to OWC (and resigning myself to having only the original 1 G RAM in my machine), does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone seen the top slot issue I've described?
(Funny that there is no problem at all with the original RAM.)
Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed on this one.
Best regards,
Barry

While just about all Powerbooks are sensitive to the quality of RAM used, the earlier Powerbooks seem to be a little more sensitive than others. While some RAM may meet the printed specs, it may not work with Apple's architecture. The issue is memory bus slewing, where power to the memory bus is modulated to reduce heat and conserve battery power.
When it comes to memory for a finicky Powerbook, I'd recommend Crucial, as they guarantee their memory will work when selected from their memory selector at http://www.crucial.com . You can usually also find a 5% to 10% off coupon on the internet (search for 'crucial coupon'). I've used Crucial (also makes Micron memory) for years with no issues.
Samsung and Kingston (not the Kingston valueram line, though) also typically work well. I've also used these brands in later Powerbooks with no issues.
Hynix memory usually works pretty well in Powerbooks, however, I'm sure they produce a number of different RAMs, like the other memory producers. For example, Kingstons regular memory works well in our Powerbooks, however, their valueram line doesn't work reliably.

Crucial 8gb upgrade not working

I recently bought an crucial 8gb memory upgrade kit for my MacBook pro (mid 2010) running mountain lion. The laptop won't boot and crashed quickly after the first boot logo showing a launchd kernel panic. Both dimms work individually, but not together. A combination of 2 and 4gb won't boot either. So all combinations resulting in 4gb work, anything over that freezes. Any suggestions what might be wrong?

Run an Apple hardware test with one of the 4Gb chips inserted and see if that develops any useful information.
You might also post the crash report. I am not very good at deciphering them but there others who are and may look at this post.
Ciao.

Flash Player 10.2.153.1 upgrade not working on 64bit Intel-Mac in Safari 5.0.4

I feel robbed! I want to use my Safari.
The latest upgrade of Flash player does not work.
I don't even remember downloading it, it must've been an automatic update!
I can not play youtube videos nor can I play any games on Facebook.
Who knows what is not working in my Avid!! I have not been working on that lately.
The flash player still works on FireFox, but i have no intention on switching to that.
The first aid has been run a few times.
It will download the free flash player for Intel Mac and it says the install is successful, but it is not there.
I have CS4 and it never bothered or disrupted the free flash player before.
I uninstalled it just in case and nearly lost it! When I tried to reinstall Flash, it said my disc to was blank!
Luckily, a friend in the business of fixing computers was able to get that back! whew.
The flash player from the CS4 is showing up in a folder and will even open when clicked on, but it does nothing. It is version 10.0 r2.
When I go to the place where they say to "see what version of flash you have"
I just get that icon that says to "Get Adobe Flash player".
It down not show the suggested "missing plug-in" pictures.
Yes, I read there is compatibility issues with the 64 bit Mac, but it always worked before!!!
Help!! Please!!

So the Shockwave Flash plugin in FF is Installed and Enabled. That's why Flash Player is working and why you were able to see the Flash Player logo animation. On the other hand, evidently the Shockwave Flash plugin is either not Installed in Safari or if it is it is Disabled. And that is why it's not working and you can't see the Flash Player logo.
Yes, I know Flash Player can be Installed in any supported 64bit OS. Also I thot that the 64bit browser in Mac was the "default" browser and the "Compatibility layer" had to be used. Similiar to the PC IE8 or IE9, switching over to the Compatibility feature in the browser.
Do you need to activate the Compatibility feature? I have had other Mac users tell me that their problem was they were using the 64bit browser and found out they had to use the 32bit browser, so I thot it was something they had to do. I would think if it was automatic they would not have had to "do" anything. But like I said I don't use Mac so can only relate what they tell me.
With Safari on either of the test sites, no Flash Player version was displayed?
Look into the HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ directory and see if you have the below two files:
Flash Player.plugin, flashplayer.xpt
After that see if this thread is of any help: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2725949#2725949

SolarisStudio12.3-crash,memory,Code_Folding not working

Well, downloaded the new Solaris Studio 12.3 in order to test it for remote development on a Solaris 10.
First of all, the IDE - code folding is not working (enabled in the options) the little bar appears on the left but empty... nothing in it.... No errors in the file opened, all dependencies working but the damn thing won't work...
Has anyone manage to make it work on a large project ? (800 files - *.h, *.C)
Second, memory sky high, after each "parsing" the memory keeps increasing.. until reaches 1.1 - 1.2GB when it freezes.... The workaround for this one was to start the studio with the following parameters:
-J-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -J-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -J-Djava.index.useMemCache=true
This seems to work for 1-2h, after that the memory is again 1G and you need to restart (but there is a plugin "button" to restart the IDE) :)
The third one is when it hangs... and you have to kill the proccess. The issue is that after this, you won't be able to open your remote project.. and you have to do all the configuration all again....
Quite hard to use this IDE... even though a good idea it seems is full of bugs..
Has anyone found a solution to the Code Folding issue ?

Hi,
I'm not going to respond on the Code Folding question (not using the feature), so I hope someone else will.
As to performance, memory and crashes - a few very key questions:
1) How did you create you project?
2) What platform do you run it on?
3) What Java is used underneath? (Oracle, OpenJDK, etc) What version?
Please do not use the "workaround" describe in your post. Instead run IDE as:
% solstudio -J-Xmx2000m
(you may give more memory to IDE if 2Gb is not enough for your project)
Also, please check this very useful article - "Troubleshooting Large Projects in the Oracle Solaris Studio IDE": http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-dev/studio-ide-tips-1668027.html
For sure we have many customers using IDE on really large - thousands of files - projects. In most of the cases all major issues are solved by setting the Xmx to higher value as I recommended above.
I hope it helps,
Leonid.

CS6 serial number upgrade not working (win)

I've been using CS6 for a while now (got an upgrade from CS5.5) and I'm trying to install it on my second computer and suddenly the serial number isn't correct. I'm using the serial number from CS6 (i've dubble checked the box and online) and I can't figure out why it's not working.
Could it have to do with the product I'm supposed to choose? I've tried all off them with 6 in it and still NOTHING
Help please!

If you purchased an upgrade and it is askling you to choose the qualifying version, that would be the older version (CS5.5) that qualifies you to use the upgrade version. You will have to choose CS5.5 as well as provide the serial number that was used for CS5.5 when you activated it.

HT5037 iPhoto Library Upgrader Not Working Properly

I followed the instructions, but when i clicked 'continue' in the Library Upgrader to upgrade my older iPhoto library, the original message about how my iPhoto library needs to be upgraded popped up

What version of iPhot do you ave hat is gving you this message?
You say
am trying to upgrade the iPhoto library to transfer it to my new MacBook Air.
Instead move the libray to the MBA and upgrade it there using the version of iPhotot that is there - you can not upgrade it on the old system with the old version of iPhoto
And the library upgrader does not upgrade the library - it modifies version 7 and earlier libraries so that the new version of iPhoto can upgrade them successfully
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Please help! Iphoto upgrade not working!!!

Iphoto is not working. When I open it, it says it is upgrading, but only goes to 99% on step five. Do you know how i can fix this and save my photos? It also doesn't let me click into anything on that window, not even at the bar at the top of the screen, so i have to go into another window and force quit it. Then it does the same thing over again. I tried restarting my computer and shutting it down, but it did not work. Can someone please help?

You must have a corrupted file someplace.
Try these steps:
1: Reset iPhoto database here
iPhoto rebuild database: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638
2: Run the #12 and #13 OnyX cache cleaning and corrupted preference file list routines here
Step by Step to fix your Mac
3: Right click on the iPhoto Library and "show package contents" inside is a folder with your Originals.
Duplicate that with the Finder >Duplicate and move OriginalsCopy out of that folder and onto the Desktop, then delete all the files inside the original Original folder and then repeat #1 above, then reimport the OriginalsCopy in batches to see if you can locate the corrupted file.
