Move SIM from 4gb to 8gb model

Hi all,
I was wondering if you can take a SIM from an activated 4GB phone and move it to an unactivated 8GB phone. Then I will activate the 4GB phone with the new SIM from the 8GB under a new phone number. Basically I want to keep my number/account and just move my SIM to a larger capacity phone. Think this will work?
Thanks!

Bump...
I just did this. I gave my old 4GB to my girlfriend and just popped my SIM in the new 8GB. I had to Activate and go through the sam estuff as I did on the 4GB. Nothing changed on my AT&T account though.

Switching SIM from 4GB to 8GB iPhone?

Can I switch from my 4GB iPhone to a 8GB iPhone without having to pay for a new contract (even if it leaves the 4GB unusable)? Can I just put the SIM card into the 8GB? Anyone have any success doing this?

Yes you can, you just have to activate the new phone by inserting the sim and then sync it with iTunes
And your old phone is not going to be unusable, the only thing that will not work is the phone features

I want to upgrade my ram from 4GBs to 8GBs, can you help me?

Dear Apple company,
     I have a Macbook 5,4, but I want to upgrade its RAM from 4GBS to 8GBs, can you help me this quest?
                                                                                                                 Thanks,

This is a customer forum, and not Apple folks. If you wish official or formal Apple assistance, please call Apple directly or visit your local Apple store, or check directly with an Apple reseller.
I don't immediately see a MacBook5,4 around, but I do see a Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz 15" model MC118LL/A Mid-2009, and that configuration does reportedly support up to 8 GB of memory per the Apple Specs.
Apple might not stock or offer memory upgrades that far back (but do ask them), though I'd expect various third-party memory providers will likely still have some 4 GB 1066 MHz SO-DIMM DDR3 memory sticks around.
But if yours is really a MacBook5,4 model here — the closest I can find is a MacBook5,2 — then ignore this.

Now trying to work with my Mac. I have a USB cable, both ends fit, but iMovie '11 does not recognize it. Is there a driver fix for this?

What kind of Mac to you have? This camera is a tape based DV one that connects best with firewire and I cannot tell if your Mac has firewire. If your mac *does* have firewire, get a camcorder firewire cable and try again.
ETA: Oops, I am pretty sure that all the "desktop iMacs" have firewire, so you should be good to go. You will probably need a cord that goes from FW800 to your camcorder.

Can I upgrade my RAM from 4GB to 8GB for my MacBook Pro 13(early 2011 2.7GHz)? And how much would it be?

Can I upgrade my RAM from 4GB to 8GB for my MacBook Pro 13(early 2011 2.7GHz)? And how much would it be?

you can upgrade to 16GB if you wish to do so...
average price for 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 is around $50 - $75 depending on the brand.
why not spend $100 and go with 16GB 1333MHz from Crucial or Corsair.
you can get them from Amazon.com or newegg.com
see image below with 16GB Patriot Mac Series 1333MHz for $100.

Can I upgrade the ram memory of my Macbook air from 4gb to 8gb?

Anybody knows if I can upgrade the ram memory of a Macbook Air from 4gb to 8gb?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The memory in the MacBook Air is soldered onto the logic board, so you can't upgrade RAM after buying your computer. It's important to buy your MacBook Air with the amount of memory you will use because you won't be able to install more RAM

Will increasing the memory from 4Gb to 8Gb make a big difference to the speed of my Intel Core Duo 2 Mac mini?

Will increasing the memory from 4Gb to 8Gb make a big difference to the speed of my Intel Core Duo 2 Mac mini?

Well, technically no, CPU will remain the same speed. But having 8 gig will give you some room for memory hungry apps and run better with multiple apps.
Adding a SSD drive will give a second life to your macmini. I did mine a few weeks ago (240 gb SSD ) and also went from 2 to 4 gig ram. It's like having a new computer!
Good luck!

Im planning to upgrade my MBP late 2011's ram from 4gb to 8gb. Is there any specific brand of ram that i should buy or i can buy any brand that suits my MBP.

im planning to upgrade my MBP late 2011's ram from 4gb to 8gb. Is there any specific brand of ram that i should buy or i can buy any brand that suits my MBP? im aware of all the details that i need to consider pc3 - 10600 1333MHz 4gb. i just want to know is there any specific brand or i can use any brand,
Thank you.

The most reliable sources for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial. Macs seem to be selective with RAM so some brands will not work. Make certain that you get RAM with the exact specifications that apply to your MBP.
Ciao.
If you have a need, be advised that you MBP can actually support 16 GB RAM.

Went from 4gb to 8gb iPhone - how can someone else reactivate 4gb one?

Hello,
I own a 4gb iPhone and I recently bought a 8gb iPhone model. I activated the 8gb one and transfered my phone number to it. The question: what do I do to re-activate old 4gb one with a new number? My wife decided that she'd love to have to one.
As a bonus, it'd be nice if I could go back to 4gb model and give her the 8gb one since her iTunes library is much larger, but I'm not sure if that's possible at this point being that I've already activated 8gb one.
Thank you very much for any tips on this one. I've read all docs, but couldn't find much.

archivist08,
Get a new SIM card from AT&T, as long as the iPhone hasn't been blocked by AT&T from being reported as stolen. Restore the iPhone without the SIM card in, and then insert the new SIM card and activate.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Is there a point to upgrade from 4GB to 8GB?

Hi
I have a MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz with 4GB memory (2010).
I want to upgrade my hard drive from 250(5400rpm) to a 500GB or bigger (7200rpm).
So I'm thinking since I'm already upgrading, should I get more memory?
I find it sluggish at times, but I've been blaming the hard drive for the most part.
But I'm wondering if doubling my memory would make an even bigger impact on the performance?
I will be doing some Final Cut at some point and video converting, so I'm wondering if the extra memory would be worth it?
*Yes I know it's a small machine for Final Cut. But I had a Mac Pro until I quite my job, so buying it I never thought I would need more power :-S
Anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks.

I would recommend getting a solid state drive rather than a faster hard drive, that would make a far greater difference than upgrading from a 5400RPM HDD to one that spins at 7200RPM and either replace your optical drive with a second hard drive or using an external drive for non-essential storeage. I'd also upgrade the RAM because 2x4GB of DDR3-1066 RAM is super cheap right now, I added 8GB of RAM from Crucial to my 2008 MacBook Unibody for around $80.

Upgrading Unibody from 4Gb to 8Gb

I was debating whether there is significant performance when upgrading unibody macbook pro to 6gb or 6gb from original 4gb? Thanks.

Depends. Are you running short on RAM? Does the computer frequently beachball when switching applications or during normal use? What do you see reported by Activity Monitor?

You have received two correct answers. 8GB is very useful if you are runnung CPU intensive applications such as games or video applications. For Web browsing, email, word processsing etc. it will have no beneficial impact.
With that said, I suggest you install it because its so inexpensive ($50) that you will be prepared if you do need it.

MacBook Pro. 4GB to 8GB Upgrade.

MacBook Pro. 4GB to 8GB.
Introduction
"Cost-Benefit Analysis"
Features
Boot Time: Is it affected by the upgrade?
Applications
Conclusion
1. Introduction
Greetings, today I am going to discuss the positive and negatives aspects about the
upgrade that many are tempted to perform, before during and after the purchase of an Apple
Personal Computer i.e. MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac and so on.
I am going to use my first and recently bought MacBook Pro as a "guinea pig" today
by performing and reviewing the upgrade from 4GB of Random-Access Memory (RAM) to 8GB.
I hope you all enjoy it and that this review is useful to you as a guide to aid your decision
to upgrade or not.
Well let's get started shall we?
2. "Cost-Benefit Analysis"
We all know how expensive Apple Computers are for the vast majority of the population,
however I am sure if you are here you do appreciate, like me, the reasons why such cost,
but this is another discussion. Let me focus.
The first option we have right off the bat is to do the upgrade as we purchase the machine,
which is offered to you when you order online, through the phone or buy it directly from an
Apple Store.
I did consider upgrading directly with Apple for the obvious reasons but unfortunately
I wasn't able to this time, the £160.00* upgrade price was a little too high for me, not overpriced,
just a little too high for me. (* or $200.00 USD)
So here is what I have done: I have acquired the part from a third part company which
offered the so called upgrade for £59.99. So I decided to give it a go, before you ask my
warranty will not be voided as RAM and any user replacable parts DO NOT void your
equipment warranty as stated by Apple®.
As you can see the specifications of the product match perfectly what is already inside
a MacBook Pro. But obviously still won't be as good as the 8GB from Apple.
Now to the benefits. rest assured that this upgrade will not be noticed by all of you, and
what I mean by that is: If you only use your Mac for browsing the web or office suites, you do
not need this upgrade, however if you do heavy video or image processing or anything that
requires that little bit extra, you will notice the difference in performance baring in mind that
this model of MacBook Pro has no dedicated graphics card therefore upgrading is a fantastic
way to avoid "paging" and I think for 60 bucks that is a bargain.
3. Features
RAM is constantly used by the system, obviously, serving as temporary storage and
working space for the operating system and its applications.
You may or may not know that most computers use something called "virtual memory"
is a method that consists of a portion of the system's hard drive being set aside for use as
a paging file that extends ram capacity. I.e. 4GB of RAM + 1GB of Paging file gives a system
a total of 5GB of memory available. Obviously upgrading from 4GB to 8GB will enable you to
have more memory without "sacrificing" a part of your hard drive.
RAM is used in numerous others ways on a computer.
3.1 Boot Time: Is it affected by the upgrade?
| To be updated soon. |
3.2 Applications
     | To be updated soon. |
4.0 Conclusion
| To be updated soon. |

3.1 Boot Time: Is it affected by the upgrade?
I did not notice any differences, maybe some miliseconds more or less.
3.2 Applications
        Applications it's a hard one to speak about, it seems to me that the system is coping more easily with tasks that require that little extra. Video and Photo editing and so on.
4.0 Conclusion
         Is it worth it? The truth is for some people yes, for some definitely NOT. If you are looking for that little extra performance just to feel good about it, definitely do it! However if all you do is browse the web and the odd word processing and a few presentations a month, it may not be that beneficial for you. I believe that if you truly want some serious performance, look for the power processing first i.e. Get a 15'' or a 17''; even though they are a bit more expensive they are recommended for video editing and tasks that require high speed and performance.
          In terms of where to buy it from, I found that buying from the third party company Crucial was no different than what would have been from Apple itself, it is EXACTLY the same memory, I compared them both side a side and all the specifications and manufacturers where the same on the 4GB and the 2GB unit.
          Few things though guys:
Please be sure to use a good quality Phillips #00 Screwdriver, you DO NOT want to damage those screws and you want to have ease on opening the machine.
Please only install quality RAM.
Please discharge yourself of any static by wearing a Static Bracelet or touching a metal surface inside the computer.
Please be sure to turn OFF the computer "Shut Down", I repeat do NOT put it to sleep, SHUT IT DOWN.
Please be patient; do not rush things.
          That's it for my adventure Upgrading my MacBook Pro RAM, guys I hope you enjoyed, sorry about the delay and enjoy your 8GB MacBook Pro, I certainly will.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.

4gb to 8gb ram: Big help for LR?

I am running LR 4.1 RC2 on my Win7 64-bit 17.3" laptop. Here are the basic specs:
i3-330M 2.26ghz, 4gb, 500gb hd, 17.3" 1600x900 screen, Intel graphics (with latest driver)
Fortunately, I have not had the terrible performance problems that some people report, but it is still somewhat sluggish. Occasionally, even when I am not doing anything the ram usage will go from 450-550mb up to about 2gb for no apparent reason. Also, the cpu usage will go up. It only does this from time to time, but something is going on in the background. Maybe some of the times it is building previews in the background, but that is just a guess. Also, I discovered that any use of luminance NR really slows things down,. Now I wait until the last step before exporting an image to do that so that it doesn't interfere while working on that image in the develop module.
My laptop works well and except for LR is fast enough. I am wondering if going to 8gb would be the biggest bang for the buck change I could make for LR? Often that is the case, but looking at the task manager I usually have quite a bit of memory available, although when LR is really busy like exporting an image to a resized jpeg file the memory of the PC can be up to 95% usage. That drops down though when LR is done. The raw files I am working with are from 16mp and 18mp cameras and I don't do batch processing, just one photo at a time.
This laptop is 2 years old, but still running fine so I would only get a newer one with a faster cpu and more ram if I really thought it would help quite a bit -- or this one develops problems. Changing from 4gb to 8gb though is relatively inexpensive. What are your thoughts? Thank you.

I agree with your statement that 20 GB is probably ample for caching up to 40,000 raw files in LR4 and LR3.6 (see why below). Even using large 21Mp raw files that will hold up to 33,333 images before over-flow (20,000/0.6).
I know this is going off topic, but I'm sure it's of interest. I also thought that LR4.1 PV2012 stores different ACR cache information than LR3.6 PV2010. What is interesting is that the "file size" of LR3.6 PV2010 created ACR cache files are identical in size to LR4.1 P2012 created files. Below is a screen shot showing a purged cache snapshot for three (3) Canon 5D2 MKII 21Mp CR2 raw files processed first in LR3.6, and then in LR4.1 in the same order.
Cache0000000001.dat = Picture 1 in LR3.6 (530KB)
Cache0000000002.dat = Picture 2 in LR3.6 (608KB
Cache0000000003.dat = Picture 3 in LR3.6 (590KB)
Cache0000000004.dat = Picture 1 in LR4.1 (530KB)
Cache0000000005.dat = Picture 2 in LR4.1 (608KB)
Cache0000000006.dat = Picture 3 in LR4.1 (590KB)
What is more interesting is that the ACR cache .dat files are not being updated after making multiple changes to the images in LR3.6 and/or LR4.1 Develop module, only the 1 KB 'Index.dat' file is updated. I had always thought that changes made in the Develop module were updated in the ACR cache, but apparently that's not the case. I went back and hit 'Auto Tone' on each of the pictures, with no change even after zooming in to 100% on each picture. I also tried switching to the Library module and back to the Develop module, hitting 'Reset' on image, and repeating the same 100% viewing. You can see below that the 'Date Created' for the .dat image files is same as the 'Date Modified' (i.e. NOT modified), only the tiny 1KB 'Index.dat' is updated.

I would opt for one 8 GB stick so you would have 10 GB. total. This says really no practical advantage in dual channel memory
