Now that I've added extra RAM...

...that is now 3GB of RAM on 2.16ghz 667Mhz processor...I haven't yet noticed anything new other than RAM preview in MOTION 3 is faster. I'd like some opinions from others who have done this and wether the $90 expense is worth it and what advantages they got out of it. The install resulted in the iMac recognizing the chip as a 667 Mhz and not an 800Mhz(which it actuality is) Tech people say this difference will not harm the machine. Thanks folks.

Was it worth it? In my opinion, yes.
I spent $170 to upgrade my iMac from 4GB to 6GB and it was/is worth every USD.
Why do I think so?
Because I never hit the wall. That is, I never run out of real memory.
One of the metrics that you can check with Activity Monitor is Page-Outs. Every page-out means that you had a small performance hit. So, zero is a good number.
If you have only 1 application open at a time, then you will not see a performance difference. But, if you have many open, then you will.

Desktop Mgr 5.1 will not synch Outlook 2007 addresses/contacts now that rogers email added to my Bold 9900

I have a BB bold 9900, use Outlook 2007 on my desktop pc, and use BB Desktop Manager v. 5.1. I used to be able to synch my BB 9900 for calendar, contacts, and memopad, until I added a data pack to my Rogers account and set up the BB 9900 to receive copies of my ****@rogers.com emails. Then all of a sudden when I went to synch the BB, everything else synched ok, except the Address Book (contacts). I got a message saying "the default service for your device's "Address Book" is no longer available. The new service is *****@rogers.com..." [ie. my email address]. It went on to say that if I wanted to try to use my original default service (which I do, I want it to synch addresses between the blackberry and my outlook 2007 contacts, which has always worked before), I should go to "advanced options" and "default services" on the BB9900, and try to reset it. I did this, but the only "option" the blackberry allows me to have for synching addresses is "[my email]@rogers.com". I am reluctant to choose this "new" system, because I suspect it means it will synch my blackberry contacts with the rogers.com online address book, which I have never used. Is that a correct assumption by the way? I have over 2000 contacts, and I've been very busy the past few weeks so have not had a chance to solve this problem (i've simply just been synching everything other than my contacts/addresses, but in the meantime, i've made several changes to them on both the blackberry and outlook, so it's important that I be able to synch those two databases in order to update them.) I would prefer not to update my Desktop Manager from 5.1 because that version has always worked flawlessly for me, and I have heard of people having major synching problems with later versions. Rogers wouldn't help me with the problem, but "hinted" that it might be a setting in the DM 5.1 that needs to be adjusted. Any advice from anyone on how to rectify this? thanks in advance

MBP 13" runs hot now that I upgraded to 8GB RAM

Has anybody else experienced that their MBPro runs noticeably hotter (and noisier) since they upgraded the system RAM to 8GB?
Just throwing it out there... making sure I'm not crazy

Assuming you installed the correct RAM it probably only needs SMC & PRAM resets.
_SMC RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
_PRAM 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.

HT1386 I originally added music to my iphone under someone elses itunes account, now that I am trying to add under my own id, it is not showing on my phone...how can I fix this?

What do I need to do to get my music from my itunes library onto my phone? I originally added music from a diffnerent itues account, and now that I am trying to add from my own it will not transfer...however, in the bar on the bottom of itunes it shows that it is on my phone...but it does not display anywhere else and I cannot find it in my phone. Do I need to connect to the original itunes account and delete that music in order for my library to show?

As you connect your ipod to iTunes, an option in the upper right of the screen will appear. When you click this, it will show the different menu for your ipod.

I accidentally added the app store apple id wrong, then I was able to put the right one but now that I need to update the application tells me to insert the id of the psw wrong, how do I change it?

You must update the apps with the Apple ID that they are purchased with.
The only way to get round this is to re-purchase the app with the new Apple ID.

Now that iBiz is not compatible with Mavericks, what type of accounting software works with ical.

I use iBiz for a small business that tracks appointments and expenses. I don't need payroll. Most importantly, I need the software to communicate with calendar since I have to keep my partner's calendar up to date and he uses calendar on his iphone. Now that iBiz is phasing out, I would like to find a replacement.

Adding more RAM to MacBook Pro Help!

Dear Apple Support Community,
Ok so first of all don't tell me to go search for older discussions >:(
Here are my system specs:
MacBook Pro 15", Mid 2010
Processor - 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory    - 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics   - NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB
Software   - OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion
I was going to buy some extra RAM and boost up my computer to about 16 GB total because my computer is running a bit sluggish lately when I'm running several apps at once (such as pages, keynote, chrome, steam, itunes...) but now that I've seen a few videos online and some reviews on amazon, I'm not completely sure which RAM is the one that will not screw up my computer. I saw a video on 'UnboxTherapy's Channel' where he said something about the timing of the RAM which is in the format like 9-9-9-24 or something, as well as some review saying something about the computer not working at all thanks to the RAM because the computers didn't match..
Please help me find a 16GB RAM that will work on my computer (please try and keep the websites amazon if possible, I live in japan :/)
and please explain to me what the RAM timings mean and how to figure out my timing...
Thank you for reading

Hi leroy,
Thanks for the quick reply!
I checked the Crucial site, and apparently my Macbook Pro can only upgrade until 8GB...
Is there any way to upgrade to 16GB without any trouble?
Also, if I upgrade to 8GB, will I see any difference? Some users say that you won't see much change between 4GB and 8GB of RAM... Is this true?
Thanks!

Adding more RAM to Intel GMA 950?

So I've had my iMac (see bottom of post for specs) for a while now and I love everything about it, except the Intel GMA 950 intergrated graphics. It works, but as far as games go, I can hardly play Halo. It's gotten better since 10.5.6 seeing as it boosts graphics performance, but it could be better.
I'm aware that it's VRAM is shared with system memory, so is there any way I can give the chip more of the system RAM to use? 2gb is plenty, so I'm willing to share some. Any help is appreciated.

Jerroslaw,
since you’re running Mavericks, open up Activity Monitor while you’ve got your usual selection of apps running, select its Memory tab, and look at the Swap Used setting in the lower left. If it’s displaying “0 bytes” as the amount of swap used, then extra RAM won’t make a difference. Otherwise, to answer your first question, whether it’s worth it or not depends upon how frustrated you are running your usual selection of apps with 4 GB of RAM. It might be that the cost of replacement RAM modules outweighs your level of frustration — only you can make that determination of worth. I would recommend that if you do choose to purchase replacement RAM, that you get a pair of matching modules — either 2 × 4 GB = 8 GB, or 2 × 8 GB = 16 GB, to replace the pair that is currently installed.
For your second question, you don’t have to use Apple-brand RAM, but you do have to use RAM with the same characteristics as your factory-installed RAM uses. Any worthwhile purveyor of RAM for Macs will let you easily locate modules that are compatible with your Mid 2012 MacBook Pro.

Adding more RAM to Macbook Pro mid-2012

Hi!
I have a question about adding more RAM to my mid-2012 MacBook Pro (without Retina). I've been doing some video editing with Final Cut, and I'm using quite many apps on the daily basis. I have the standard configuration with 4GB of RAM (2x 2GB) but I guess I should upgrade it, shouldn't I?
I had that idea in mind: buying extra 8GB RAM instead of one 2GB, so I'll end up with 10GB of RAM. If it won't be enough and I'll have some extra money, I will add another 8GB instead of 2GB, so I'll have 16GB.
First question - is it worth it?
Second question - can I add any RAMs supported by Macs? For example I'll leave one 2GB that I have already, and add 8GB made by, let's say, Kingston (I guess they are supported and they have good price in my country). Will this work fine? Does it make sense?

Adding more RAM video tutorial?

Not long ago I added another hard drive to my Mac Pro and to do it I reviewed a Quicktime video that offered step by step instructions. It worked great. I found it somewhere on the web but I don't know or remember where.
Now I want to add more RAM and it has arrived from Crucial but their online picture instructions appear to be for the older PPC machines and not the newer Intel Macs.
I'd like to try and find a video that would show me where to find the RAM on my Mac Pro and how to install it.
Does anyone know where I might find a quick video tutorial?

Okay, additional 2 gigs are installed. Tell me if this is the correct setup:
DIMM Riser A/DIMM 1 1GB DDR2 FB-DIM 667MHz OK
DIMM Riser A/DIMM 2 1GB DDR2 FB-DIM 667MHz OK
DIMM Riser A/DIMM 3 512MB DDR2 FB-DIM 667MHz OK
DIMM Riser A/DIMM 4 512MB DDR2 FB-DIM 667MHz OK
DIMM Riser B/DIMM 1 512MB DDR2 FB-DIM 667MHz OK
DIMM Riser B/DIMM 2 512MB DDR2 FB-DIM 667MHz OK
DIMM Riser B/DIMM 3 Empty Empty Empty Empty
DIMM Riser B/DIMM 4 Empty Empty Empty Empty
If so - if I buy two more 1GB sticks do I shift the 512 from A/3 and A/4 and move to B/3 and B/4 then place 1GB each in A/3 and A/4?
Thanks,
John

Preview renders adding extra frames exponentially in Premiere Pro CC 2014

Having this strange anomaly happen when rendering previews. The preview render dialogue box starts adding extra frames and the thing becomes an exponential loop gradually moving to 100% but never reaching it even if the render is only 10 frames long.
On a Z800 with dual X5570 12GB RAM Intel processors Nvidia and Blackmagic Decklink 2 video cards.
It most seems to be happening around PPro generated title GFX and with dissolves. The strange thing is I can render small sections by setting discrete in/out render areas, but there is always a small section that won't render. This has just started happening on the latest 2014 update of CC.
Have been using CC for the previous 12+ months without incident, so it would seem to be something in the latest version. Not killing me, but it is a bit strange and kind of annoying.
Anyone else having a similar issue?
cheers Pete.

This sounds like bug that was fixed in the update released this morning (CC2014.0.1. aka, 8.0.1). Please let us know if the update does not resolve your exact issue.

I have a MacBook 7,1 which i recently installed a PNY 250 SSD and added some RAM. The laptop was running awesome with OSX 10.6.8, lightning fast. Then I installed Yosemite. There was a bit of hang during the install, but Yosemite came up no issue

I have a MacBook 7,1 which i recently installed a PNY 250 SSD and added some RAM. The laptop was running awesome with OSX 10.6.8, lightning fast.
Then I installed Yosemite. There was a bit of hang during the install, but Yosemite came up no issue when I rebooted. Here is the problem:
Every other time I boot the MacBook it hangs at a grey screen with the prohibitory sign. Verbose reveals a "still waiting for root device" error. Now if I reboot from that hang, it boots fine, but then will hang again the next time. It keeps alternating like this. Any ideas??
I am not running any third party trim software, so that's not the issue.
