Need help on upgrading ram

I was woundering how to intall ram im new at computers and i dont even know what ram to put in. I would like to upgrade from 6 to mabey 12. I need to know what specific type of ram it is also the pins on the mother board.Also my fan is very loud and slows my computer down is this normal and can i fix it or can i buy a new one?

I have a very similar laptop, You can upgrade to 16 gigs of RAM but your best upgrade will be to upgrade the 6 to 8.
See this video at about 1:00 in:

This memory will work. Remove the 2 gig module (you have a 4 gig and a 2 gig to make 6) and replace it with this 4 gig module:

Need help with upgrading my OS from 10.5.8

Need help with upgrading my OS. I havent upgraded the OS since I bought it and have version 10.5.8. Now I cant download Mountain Lion- or even Snow Leopard. When i downloaded the first version of SL- 10.6.1 it says i have to have 10.6 first and I cant find that.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:

Whilst Apple withdrew Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

Purchasing MBA but need help on upgrades.

Hello, I am purchasing an MBA, but need help on upgrades based on the following; I will be attending medical school in the fall, I take a wide range of photos of my family on my iPhone that I play with on certain apps and do store them in the cloud and computer, I have a medium iTunes libaray but will get bigger with the additional apps for school, I am a moderate gamer (I play games online as well as my kids do, but nothing that will take up a ton of space when downloaded like Assassins Creed) and I plan on running MS Office. I've already decided to upgrade to the 8GB but I can't decide if I should upgrade to the 512GB Flash or stay with the 256GB and upgrade from the i5 to i7 or stick with it. I don't plan on buying another until I graduate. I am new to the Mac World outside of the use of my iPhone which convience me to convert from my awful PC. Can you MBA experts relay some advice on a good route. I appreciate it, Thanks

My rule of thumb is to buy the largest drive storage available. Especially since the Air models can't be upgraded to a larger size in the future. I also like to buy the most amount of RAM offer and as with the storage space on the Air models can't be upgraded once purchased. So Bite the Bullet and spend the money to get both the most RAM and the largest storage offered as neither can be increased later on. Also I suggest you spend the extra money on the Applecare extended warranty because to fix any Mac once the standard warranty is over is very expensive. You have until the one year standard warranty runs out to buy the Applecare extended warranty.

Please I need help in upgrading applications

Please I need help in upgrading my pdf-notes for ipad. it seemed like somebody hijacked my Apple ID, I had since solve the problem with Apple, I still have my original email address but I was unable to upgrade all applications I bought before my username was hijacked and pdf-notes is one of the applications. kindly advice me on what to do to upgrade.
Thanks. Jimmy

Okay Demo. My theory is that accessing iCloud if apps were backed up to it can be redownload end then updated. I am thinking that with the new apple ID the iCloud account may only recognize the high jacked ID. I don't know if I made it clearer but I can do some digging. I don't like to see people using Apple devices having a tuff time. Not cool.

NEED MAJOR HELP IM A NOOB A THESE THINGS LOL

Solved!
Go to Solution.

you have the Desktop Manager, that includes many things including :
a synchronization tool for Calendar, contacts, tasks
a backup tool
an application installation tool (to install applications on your device, from the PC)
an OS install tool (for example to upgrade the OS on your device)
that Desktop Manager exists in many versions : 4.3, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7. Since you are using a Curve, any version is okay for you. The latest is supposed to have less bugs.
About the OS : it's something else. There are several OS versions for the Curve : 4.2 4.2.1 4.3 4.5. Depending on your carrier, you may have access to some. You can install the OS from another carrier if you want to, it just requires to delete the vendor.xml file.
Install an OS : one way of doing that is :
download the OS installer on your PC
install the OS on your PC. It will bring the OS inside the Desktop Manager
use the Desktop Manager to upload the OS from the Desktop Manager to the device.

I need help please, upgrading from OS 10.6.8...

Please help me - I'm such a technophobe!! I need help upgrading from OS 10.6.8... I get part way through the process and get a box saying "The link needs to be opened with an application" and I don't know what to do next...

The only way to upgrade from 10.6.8 (which is high as Snow Leopard goes) is to obtain Lion or Mountain Lion from the Online Apple Store or Yosemite from the Mac App Store.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Yosemite (10.10.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only. Mavericks (10.9.x) is no longer available.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Yosemite are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Yosemite is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). Mountain Lion can be obtained the Online Apple Store.
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Need help regarding upgrading Oracle 10g Forms to Oracle 11g Fusion Middlew

Hi All,
I am trying to create a workshop on a VM for showing the migration / upgrading of Oracle Forms 10g to Oracle 11g FMW using the Upgrade Assistant tool available in <ORACLE_HOME>/bin/ua.bat.
As per my understanding of pre-requisites:
1)     I need to install Oracle SOA Suite 10g on my VM.
2)     I also need to install Oracle SOA Suite 11g on my VM.
3)     I need to install Oracle Forms/Reports Services 10g on my Oracle SOA Suite 10g installation.
4)     I need to run Oracle Forms/reports installer on my Oracle SOA Suite 11g installation.
5)     I need to run upgrade assistant tool on my VM to upgrade my form from source(Oracle SOA Suite 10g) to destination(Oracle SOA Suite 11g). Is it mandatory for this migration that I should have Oracle SOA Suite 10g and Oracle SOA Suite 11g on the same system ?
Having all these software installed on one VM would be difficult. So just wanted to check can I avoid any software to install on VM ?
If there is any alternative suggestion then please let me know.
Regards,

What do you want to do with the SOA-suite? At least for Froms10G is is not necessary.

Needs help = after upgrading to 10.4.11, I lose 1GB of Ram

After upgrading from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11, everything seems ok,
but I had a crash after a freeze screen, after shutting down and reboot
I noticed my PB was slow and discover I had only 1Go Ram instead 2Go on my
PB G4 1,25 GHZ
SODIMM0/J25LOWER indicates empty (no memory)
SODIMM0/J25UPPER indicates 1Go DDR SDRAM PC2700U-25330
I had 2 X 1Go before
Thanks for help

This could be a hardware problem, unrelated to 10.4.11. PowerBooks seems to be susceptible to bad memory slots. Some, but not all, are eligible under a [repair extension program|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303173]. You might also check in the PoerBook forum.

Need help in upgradation

Need a help regarding the specifications of this Board also want to know its DDR3 or DDR2. Want to upgrade my RAM. Whats the max. upgradable size for RAM on this Board?
Thank u
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Yeah at the cost of an 8 gig chip I would not risk it. Get a 4 gig so you have 6 total. We know that will work and it is hard to imagine needing more memory than that. If you want to spend the money get 2 x 4 gigs which are likely cheaper than 1 x 8 gig and run 8 total.

Need help: just upgraded to Mavericks, now can't use audio interface.

I just upgraded to mavericks, and now Itunes and my other programs don't recognize my audio interface.
It's a MobilePre USB preamp. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the driver without success. Interesting, QuickTime sends audio to the external preamp, the sound is filled with static. I've tried playing with latency, but that doesn't help.
I can't understand why Quicktime recognizes the external device, but Itunes doesn't. Suggestions are appreciated.
My machine is 21.5 inch late 2009 model with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 12 GB of RAM.

Hope this references the equipment you are using.
The last update to the drivers is 1.1.3 Nov 2012
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/download/MobilePre-Drivers?popup=true&N ewLang=en&DocType=1450&q=MobilePre
If this is correct perhaps an email to Avid could help. I would think that they need to update their drivers to suit Mavericks.
There is also a link on that page to an article about Pro Tools and state that it is not supported on Mavericks at this time.

Need help on upgrade to 11.1.0.6 to 11.1.0.7 on RAC .

Hi,
we have a RAC setup with 2 nodes DB version is 11.1.0.6 and OS is LinuxX-86 64 bit machine. We found that 6890831 needs to be applied as a part of upgrade activity. I gone through read me of patch but have few doubts on the procedure. Can any body help me on the same?
Upon reading the document i am not clear on upgrade path like do i need to upgrade clusterware as well or not? Based on the initial study following action plan has been prepared by me, please correct me if my action plan is not correct.
1) Stop the DB.
2) Stop nodeapps.
3) Stop the CRS(using non-rolling upgrade).
4) apply the patch to CLUSTER ORACLE_HOME.
5) apply the patch to RDBMS ORACLE_HOME.
6) doing post-installation steps like DB upgrade.
Please emphasize on 4th step. Thanks in-advance.
Regards
APPS-DBA.

Upon reading the document i am not clear on upgrade path like do i need to upgrade clusterware as well or not?You need to upgrade the clusterware before RDBMS....therefore it is not optional. You first need to upgrade the clusterware and then the RDBMS.
The steps listed by you seems to be in order (from a high-level).

Need help with upgrade from Adobe Creative Suite to PS CS4

My old laptop with Photoshop on it crashed and I ended up purchasing a new laptop.
I'm trying to reload my PS CS4. I am using an upgrade from an educational Adobe Creative Suite Premium to the CS4 and when I loaded it on my old laptop I had to get installation help through customer service, but now customer service will not help me since it is CS4.
When installing the upgrade, it tell me to select the product I already own. I own the educational full creative suite, but am only upgrading the Photoshop. I chose Photoshop CS and tried entering the serial number for the suite. It tells me that the serial number doesn't match the product chosen. Of course the only products I'm allowed to choose from is Photoshop CS, CS2, or CS3 and not Creative Suite Premium.
The other serial numbers on this CS is Golive CO and Pagemaker Plug-in.
I was told there are Adobe customer service reps here on the forum, please tell me what it was I need to do to get my Photoshop installed.
Thanks

i wasn't aware that you could get a ps4 at an upgrade price using an older creative suite produect. i searched online and found this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/476009) which makes it appear that was not a valid upgrade path.
but, if you're confident that was a valid upgrade path, i'm pretty sure something will need to be done on adobe's end and no amount of manipulation, on your end only, will work.
your best bet would be to get help in this forum from an adobe staff member like jeff wright who is very knowledgeable and goes out of his way to help adobe customers. to that end, if i were you, i would start a new thread mentioning his name in your title and in your initial post explaining:
you have the educational Adobe Creative Suite Premium and purchased a photoshop cs4 upgrade years ago that required adobe support help to install years ago.
that worked well until a recent computer problem forced you buy a new laptop and you are now trying to reinstall that ps cs4 and again need support help but have been refused help because cs4 is not current.

Need help on upgrading operating system from Mac OSX 10.3.9

We have a Imac G5 with Mac OS X v 10.3.9. We want an upgrade to run new ILife stuff. We don't know what we are doing.
What should we get to update the operating system, where, and how do we upgrade the system?
Are there any particular requirements that my computer will need? How do I know that I have them?
Is there anything in particular in the System Profile that I need to make sure that I have?
Thanks.

You don't say what iMac G5 you have, but here's the *Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements* http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950 You may have to increase your RAM. A minimum of 1GB is recommended. If you click on About This Mac, you will see how much RAM is currently installed.
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.
Suggest you download the two PDF documents at the top of this link.
