Powerbook 520 RAM work in a Powerbook 1400?

hi,
After reading both the Powerbook 1400 and the Powerbook 520 Technical information manuals it says that they both use the same type of RAM (low power DRAM). My Powerbook 1400 has 24MB of RAM and my Powerbook 520 has I think 12MB of RAM. Can I add those 12MB of RAM to my Powerbook 1400?
Thanks

Apple Rules
From any practical vantage point, no. The PB500 expansion cards are a different size (wider than the space available in the 1400, and not stackable), and have different connectors from PB1400 cards and connectors. That both kinds of card use low-power DRAM is the only similarity.
PB500 series 'Books use PSRAM. PB1400s use TSOP lowprofile RAM chips.

    if forget the speed, does my Powerbook will do the job?
    please inform me, many thanks

  • I need a version of itunes that will work on my powerbook G4?

    I tried the latest version of itunes and my powerbook does not support it.  Love itunes- what version works on older powerbooks?

    Depends the age of the Powerbook, and your operating system.
    Powerbook G4 867 Mhz or higher can run Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.5.8, but do not support Classic when doing so.
    Depending on the age, they may support booting into Mac OS 9 while maintaining Mac OS X 10.5.8.
    This link explains what versions of iTunes work with what Mac OS X versions.
    iTunes for 10.4 & 10.5 is here.
    A newer version for 10.5 only is here.
    Older versions may be found here.

  • What browsers work best with PowerBook G4 Mac OS X 10.4

    What browsers work best with PowerBook G4 Mac OS X 10.4?

    I still use Firefox 3.6.28  FF 3 is an old version and I get all kinds of warning from Mozilla about it, but I have deactivated those and it still opens web sites perfectly fine.  Others have gone to using TenFourFox but I had a group of plugins for Firefox that would not work with TFF.
    The main thing you will encounter with browsing these days is a modern Flash plugin no longer supporting G-series Macs.  I still use the newest that was available for PPC Macs and have not encountered problems.  If you need help I can post about that too but it's a long post.

  • Will Serial ATA or SATA Hard Drives work in a Powerbook G4?

    I have a 15" Powerbook G4, 867MHz, and I'm looking to buy a new internal Hard Drive. After a few searches, it appears I need a 2.5" HD, but I don't know much about hardware so I'm hoping someone can clarify for me:
    Will a Serial ATA or SATA HD work or do I need to find an ATA-100 or older drive?
    Is there a maximum RPM or size capacity that will work with my Powerbook G4?
    Thanks for the help.

    Thanks for the help. For anyone else looking at this thread, I was also told at fries that PATA (Parallel ATA) is the new name for ATA/IDE Hard Drives. I just installed a Western Digital 2.5" 250GB PATA drive and haven't had any problems so far. Actually, when I updated from 10.5 to 10.5.8 and restarted, I was stopped at the gray screen with the prohibitory sign (circle with a line through it), but this could be unrelated. After powering off and rebooting, everything booted fine, so I'm assuming things are ok at this point.

  • Tiger OS X disc from G5 PowerPC work on my Powerbook G4

    I hope not to have to pay for another upgrade.
    2nd ?, If I upgrade to Leopard will I be able to use on both PowerPC and Powerbook or do i need to upgrade both at double cost?
    Thanks in advance for you help.

    Tiger OS X disc from G5 PowerPC work on my Powerbook G4
    No.
    If I upgrade to Leopard will I be able to use on both PowerPC and Powerbook or do i need to upgrade both at double cost?
    If both the computers are in your house, purchase the Family Pack, which is cheaper than two separate copies.

  • Powerbook 520 with no OS installed

    i recently acquired a powerbook 520 and judging by the fact that when i try to boot it and i only reach a screen with a floppy disk and a flashing question mark, i assume there is no OS installed. it is my belief that one can download system 7 from the apple website to install on an old machine such as this, however could someone walk me through how i would create the floppys ? preferably i'd like to create them on my relatively old pc lappy which has an inbuilt floppy drive, however if this is not possible i can search for my long lost USB floppy drive and create them on my ibook g4.
    thanks for your time.

    Yes, you can download a free System 7.5.3 from Apple, e.g. the international English version here. The individual files are small enough to fit onto 1.4 MB Mac-formatted floppies. Once decoded (by StuffIt Expander for Macintosh, preferably on the PowerBook 520), the twenty segments constitute one single disk image. You place the segments (one .smi and nineteen .part) in a common folder on the hard disk. Double-clicking on the first segment (.smi) will mount the total image. The installer can be found in the thus mounted image.
    Since the aforementioned system download does not contain a bootable floppy, the first obstacle will be to make such a disk. You could try doing this in your USB floppy drive connected to the iBook (running in Classic?). However, it is necessary to use a disk-image utility that can create a sector-copied floppy directly from a Disk Copy 4.2 disk image (e.g. via the Make A Copy button in Disk Copy 4.2 or the Make a Floppy command in the Utilities menu of Disk Copy 6.3.3). The Network Access Disk 7.5 here contains a suitable disk image.
    If you use a PC, things will be more complicated. The following is only to give you an idea of what to do:
    Download the freeware utility Aladdin Expander 2.0 (try a Google search for the exact file name).
    A disk-image utility for PC will also be needed. For example, the shareware utility WinImage 6.10 (winima61.exe here).
    Install the programs on the PC.
    Prepare an empty PC-formatted 1.44 MB (HD) diskette through the FORMAT A: command in DOS (or via the "Full" formatting command under Windows).
    Download the Network Access Disk 7.5 .bin file (NetworkAccess_Disk7.5.sea.bin). The Windows operating system may truncate the file name. Drag this downloaded file (as it is) onto the Aladdin Expander 2.0 icon (on the Desktop). Aladdin Expander will decode the file into an archive (document) called Network Access Disk 7.5, and automatically decompress the latter into a Network Access folder.
    Inside the Network Access folder you will find a Read Me document and a file called Network Access.image.
    Insert the empty PC-formatted diskette into the PC's floppy drive.
    If WinImage is used, drag the Network Access.image onto the program icon. In the WinImage application window, select Write disk (from the Disk menu) or click on the Write disk icon. When the operation is completed, immediately eject and lock the diskette.
    You should now have a startup floppy for the PowerBook 520.
    The procedure is a variant of a method described in the 68000 FAQ (here). This is an exeception to a general rule. Normally, do not decode or decompress MacBinary (.bin) or BinHex (.hqx) files until on a Mac.
    Start the PowerBook from the Network Access floppy. Check whether the hard disk is visible. If yes, it is probably wise to erase it (if not already done). Use Erase Disk from the Special menu for this.
    It is possible to drag-copy the system folder from a Network Access floppy to an empty hard disk. This will provide you with a temporary system in order to free the floppy drive for subsequent file transfers.
    A ready-to-use version of StuffIt Expander for Macintosh (4.0.1) can be obtained through a PC like this: Download MACDISK.EXE here. Prepare an empty PC-formatted 1.44 MB diskette via FORMAT A: under DOS or the "Full" formatting command under Windows (this is important). Launch the MACDISK.EXE program on the PC. Follow the on-screen directions. The result will be a floppy, complete with a StuffIt Expander installer, that you can immediately use in the PowerBook.

  • Does this cardbus pcmcia card work with my powerbook?

    Hi, The shop near my house only has this pcmcia cardbus USB 2 card.
    http://www.conceptronic.net/site/desktopdefault.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=200&Cat=30 &grp=3010&ar=0&Prod_ID=755&Prod=CSP480C2&subid=554#
    My pbook only has USB 1, and I want USB 2 capability. Would the above work for the powerbook?

    I don't see anything in its FAQ or Specs indicating it will or won't. That means it might, then again might not.
    This card on the other hand has a known range of Mac OSes it supports:

  • Powerbook 520 on OS 7

    Hi guys, just bought a Powerbook 520. It has OS 7 running but no software to speak of, no Claris etc...where can I download some useful software, I need a word processor and TCP internet software.
    Also generally where can I find info on old OS 7 x software...cant find much, and no idea wher to look.
    Thanks
    Nathan

    Do you have the software for the Global Village modem, if necessary? Is it an external or internal modem? If an original internal modem, could the PowerPort 500 software at
    ftp://ftp.globalvillage.com/pub/software/mac/previous/disk_images
    be of interest?
    For the internet, to begin with, you would need TCP/IP software. This could be either a MacTCP or a TCP/IP control panel in the Control Panels folder. Exactly which operating system (see under About This... in the Apple menu at the Desktop level) is installed? The downloadable System 7.5.3 (e.g. British and US) contains this software.
    Once you have either a MacTCP or TCP/IP control panel, a connection program (for example, MacPPP 2.5.3 here) would be needed.
    Finally, a suitable browser is required. WannaBe is small enough to fit onto a floppy. By means of this browser you can then download (from http sites only) larger files (for instance, the iCab browser) directly to the PowerBook 520.
    Nisus Compact could perhaps be an alternative word processor.

  • Powerbook DDR2 Ram with 333 or 533 MHz?

    hi,
    i'm wondering a little bit, i was looking on the apple page (.de and .com) and they say in their technical specification for the new powerbook, that is has PC2-4200 DDR2 at 333MHz as memory.
    hmm, but the specification of PC2-4200 DDR2 requires at least 533MHz, that's also that what some internet shop sell for powerbooks as ram.
    so question is, is apple using 533MHz parts running at 333MHz only!?!?? or is it a mistake on the pages and an old information of the last generation?!?!
    thanks in advance ..
    thomas

    thanks for welcoming me
    and exacly at the specifications is the problem .. because there is written that they run at 333MHz (the 15" and 17" model) but they have ddr2 which should run normaly at 533MHz ... (probably it's right for the 12" model cause they use diffrent memory ...) ..
    hmmm.....

  • Suspend to RAM works but awakes immediately (pm-suspend)

    Hello,
    After after years of being unable to make suspend to RAM works on my lenovo Y530, I have finally found people who can do it. The trick is simply to add a new rule in /etc/pm/sleep.d/. I will edit the arch wiki page concerning the Y530 if I get it to work, but right now my problem is that the laptop immediately awakes after what seems to be a fully working suspend to RAM. Here is the log of pm-suspend :

    As you can see, everything works fine, except the fact that the computer awakes 7 seconds after going to sleep... Of course I'm not touching it when it goes to sleep. I've also tried to disconnect everything I could (USB device and wifi).
    Is there anyone who have already seen this kind of thing?

    Just out of curiosity, are you wired in to a network? I've heard that data transfer over ethernet will trigger the wake-on-lan settings in the BIOS, which would wake it from sleep.

    Now if you've went past the 14 Day return you be Liable to pay a E.T.F =  Early Termination Fee the fee for this is around $300 so hopefully you have not went past the 14 Day return window the Manager if Available is the one I would talk to tell them your on Social Security and you just can't afford a phone as this I'm sure they'll work with you to get something solved..
    Hope ya have Good Luck.! b33

  • Will the ram work?

    Will this ram work in a imac(ambient light sensor)?
    And also will this be a "matched pair" with the original 512 stick?

    thanks!

    CanadaRAM:
    i You're better off shooting for a 1 Gb DIMM than trying for matched pairs with another 512 Mb. Besides the probablility that it won't match, the benefit of the extra 512 Mb RAM far outweighs the negligible real-world benefit of "matching" for 128-bit access.
    The OP is probably better off just going to a "matched pair" of 1 GB DIMMs. That would both max out the capacity, and provide the 128-bit data path.
    If he's willing to shop at Newegg and take the risks that something might not work, then there are matched 2 GB kits there at reasonable prices.

  • RAM Worked in One T30 but Not Another

    I have two 1GB sticks of RAM: DDR 333, FDMHGO-04032T
    This RAM worked fine in a T30 2366-85U laptop
    I put the same RAM in a T30 2366-KU1 laptop and it doesn't work - in either memory slot. The BIOS is 1IET71WW (2.10 ) 06/16/2006, which is I believe the latest BIOS for this laptop. The 2366-85U laptop no longer works, I dropped something on the keyboard and that killed the laptop, so I can't check it for BIOS version.
    Is there something I can do to get the two 1gb sticks of RAM working in the 2366-KU1 laptop?
    Not sure if RAM can be damaged, but could it have been damaged when the other laptop died?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Welcome to the forum!
    The RAM sticks in question should work in any T30 with no issues.
    Having said that, have you tried different RAM in 2366-KU1?
