NB305 - I have upgraded to 2GB RAM and Movie still look poor...
Hi
I recently bought an NB305 which i was hoping to watch movies on, however i started watching a standard def movie fromitunes and it slow and jumpy..
Ive upgraded to 2GB Ram with very little improvement..
Can this be fixed ? or am i best returning and getting an ipad ??
Many thanks
Simon
Numpty,
Im having the same problems and Im frustrated that everyone seems silent on all the threads I can find on this subject. I also upgraded to 2gb ram with no improvement on my itunes video performance and I'm just watching standard quality videos as well (instead of HD). I cant get through more than 1 minute of a Tv show from itunes without the sound going out and the video getting horribly choppy, requiring me to pause and let the video and sound get back on track.
I am using Windows 7 Professional. I have since tried to adjust my virtual ram (kicked it up to 3000mb), tried to adjust my video color quality (down to 16-bit), and tried playing the videos in Quicktime (which I figure has less memory requirements than itunes). None of these adjustments has helped. The only thing that might be working for me, though not a lot, has been to watch the videos in a very small window....but I'm starting to think Im just kidding myself with this even. I cant believe this isnt more of an issue for ppl. Its just weird that a little 2 year old ipod can play movies better than a brand new laptop, even if it is a netbook. I just ordered a recovery DVD from Toshiba to restore my comp to factory settings (i didnt make a backup before i installed Windows 7 Professional cuz im a $uck) and Im hoping that maybe some of the original video drivers or graphics settings might just work better....maybe I messed them up when I installed Professional, i dont know.
Input anyone?

Performance with 2GB RAM and SSD
I own a late 2010 MBA, 13" baseline model with 2GB RAM, w/SSD. I am using Snow Leopard, and it runs perfectly. I would like to upgrade to ML to sync with ipad, but a concerned with performance. I use my MBA for word processing, emails, and internet surfing, including occasional movie downloads. I cannot upgrade the RAM on this model. I would therefore very much appreciate if someone who has run the latest versio of ML on this model can inform me of its performance w/2GB RAM and an SSD drive. (I know it can run; I want to know how it runs). Thanks very much!
Just went through the same situation with my 2006 iMac. Technically my memory tops out at 3gigs, but I can get 4 in there if I insist (though the machine won't take full advantage).
After a considerable amount of research, and hearing some horror stories of some folks who dove straight into Lion on older machines, I opted on upgrading memory to 3gig, backing up all my data, then running a clean install of Snow Leopard. I then reinstalled all my stuff, followed with a run of Monolingual (a shareware program that removes unnecessary languages and builds), then ran OnyX (another shareware) to run scripts and check/repair permissions.
Works fantastic. Machine is operating perfectly on 10.6.8 and with the memory upgrade and clean drive its running faster than ever. Definite new breath of life in the machine.
As per memory upgrade, I'd recommend going to Crucial. They're very Mac friendly, customer oriented, and reasonably priced. They have a small program you can download that scans your machine to determine the correct chip required, then brings you stright to an info and ordering page. I managed to get a 2gig chip with shipping for about $25. With the Snow Leopard upgrade total cost was under $60 for resuscitation. -
i recently received a mac book air 11 inch for christmas ... i beliehve it was bought in the states from my father i was unaware of the specs until i opened and read it... and i was wondering if i can still do the upgrade to 8gb ram and bigger flash drive.. is this possible and for how much? its only a week old.
Your 14 days are up, however you could take your case to Apple Inc. regarding same,
however those are the stipulations.
RAM cannot be upgraded however, period, its permanent on the logic board after mfg.
As for the SSD (solid state drive), upgrading same is a bad premise 9 times out of 10.
No notebooks is a mass storage device, and you need an external HD for data redundancy and backups regardless.
data that is static on your SSD and not used very often has no logical reason to be ON the notebooks, and best saved on a superslim external HD ($60)
SSD are very expensive, even a small one, HD are cheap as dirt and users are recommended to have one regardless for many good reasons. -
I have upgrade to IOS 8 and all Fotos are ereased on my Iphone and on my Computer is only the last Backup and there a no Photos now what can i do?
You really need to try this on a computer, not on the iPad.
Seeing how what is in the cloud is also on the iPad, if the content is not on the iPad, there is a good chance that the content is lost. But you can try logging into www.icloud.com in a web browser on a computer and log into your account and see if you can get into the Pages app. You may have to sign up for iCloud drive if you didn't do so already. Make SURE you that you read the blurb that will pop up in that window in iCloud for more information. -
I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.
Apple discontinued support for PowerPC apps with Lion, I think, so you're out of luck there. No patch coming, unfortunately. Best to upgrade whatever old applications you have or, since it seems like you're using some relatively old software, scout around for replacements that give you the functionality you need.
Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Print & Scan and select your scanner from the list--if it's not there you'll need to add it (start with the little plus icon). Once you have it in the list you can click on the Open Scanner button and a pretty barebones scanner driver will load for you. But Image Capture (as mentioned previously), found in your Applications folder, will probably do the job as adequately, or better, than your old scanner software. -
Help please my photos that I had been viewing printing etc are not compatible when I print in elements 13. I have unistalled elements 11 but still hve the same problem
When I try to print using elements 13 up pops The saved print information is in an incompatible version. it has been set to default values.
I have templates that I had designed in elements 11 to drop photographs into, every time I try to print up pops the notice above and it will not print.
If I have imported the photograph and worked on it in elements 13 it prints fine.
I have hundreds of photographs that I have changed from raw files to Jpegs etc. which printed fine. Now with elements 13 I cannot print any of them.
Help please, I was born BC before computers

What do you mean by "not compatible"? What happens, exactly, when you try to print?

I am unable to delete my photos which are synced through computer..i have upgraded to ios 7 and im using iphone 5...i tried doing it by using itunes but i cant see any photos at all...help requested
If you didn't already do so, try uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components (not just iTunes and AMDS), then reinstall iTunes, as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925. Follow the article and uninstall them in the order indicated.

I have upgraded to 5.3 and I am still getting this message. I have logged into iCloud to see if there was a new Terms of Service agreement and didn't see anything. Any ideas?
Same here. The login works, but the Stream - according to the ATV - says there are "0" photos. Which is bogus.

I have upgraded to IOS 7 and now I wish I did not as I have lost face time and iMessage and they would not get activated no mater what I have tried .it seems they are trying to get connected but are unable to do so.
It is becoming frustrating to try to get it activated .
I do not know how to get it activated when it keeps informing me that there is no net work connected
Could not sign in please check your network connection and try again.
For both iMessage and FaceTime .
Any radical solution that you have will be appreciated as it is becoming frustrating .First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -

Hi Alan,
After you ensure that you have migrated everything you need to the latest version, you can delete the previous version.
Thanks,

I am considering a base 21" iMac ($1099 @ Best Buy) for home use. It would be my first Mac. Is the base model powerful enough for everyday home use and some light video editing or should I upgrade the CPU, Ram and to a Fusion drive?
Purchasing with the upgrades through Apple would add about $800 over the Black Friday deal at Best Buy. Just looking for some advice if I will be satisfied with the based model.All models will do what you want. Upgraded models will do it faster than the standard models.
Just why are you thinking of switching to a Mac? -
