Problem after installing RAM

I have recently installed an extra 512 megs of RAM to my 12" G4 powerbook. it originally came with 256 megs. However now when i open and close programs, bits of the picture from the programme i was using stays on the screen and i have to click and drag over them with the mouse to get rid of them. it happens when using programmes too and clicking certain buttons, the image the buttons give stays on the screen. I am mostly using the mac with pro-tools LE 6.4 and my operating system is osx 10.3.3
if anybody could shed any light on this it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Seamus, unfortunately, many users expieriance this by buying bargin basement or cheap Ram.
This is not to say the Ram you bought is cheap.
But Powerbook's are very picky about the Ram they will accept without problems.
Most MAC users recommend buying Lifetime Warranty.
There are several different companys that offer and sell this more reliable RAM.
There are several located in most Mac Magazines.
Mac Solutions.com is one.
DMS Certified Memory..800-662-7466
Other World Computing..800-275-4576 visitmacsales.com
The 3 listed above offer Lifetime Warranty.

Problem after installing 10.4.8

Hello,
I installed the 10.4.8 update today. I have a brand new macbook. When the update finished downloading, my screen just turned blank, my computer didn't react at all. I could hear the fan and that was it.
So, I waited for some minutes, nothing happened. I decided to restart it by pressing the power button for a few seconds.
The computer is working perfectly now and the update was installed. But, how do I know if my computer or the HD were affected? I ran the HD test and it says that the HD seems OK.
Is that a problem with my computer or is it because of the new update? I read a posting that mentioned similar problems after installing the new update.
Thanks...

How did you update? Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (delta)?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304200
After installing the delta version of this update on an Intel-based Mac, the computer will restart two times--the first restart after installing this update may take several minutes; please allow it to complete.

great Problemes after installing Yosemite (10.10.2 ) with Photoshop CS6....The program crashes --last time 10 times during my work session..wacomtable doesnt work..it is slow...and get error messages about the graphic card....It s a Terror to work with my beloved Photoshop!

The Yosemite upgrade very often damages existing Photoshop installations. Thank Apple for that.
You need to uninstall and re-install Photoshop, then apply all the Photoshop upgrades from scratch.
But first, give us details about your setup:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,

A lot of problems after installing Windows XP using Boot Camp on a Mac Book

I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: +"This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?"+ When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
How do I fix this problem?
Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
D: There are way too many problems, and I have a feeling there will be a lot more later on. Help....

I see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder

i see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder. I see that it means that it isn't reading the new hard drive.
did i miss a step between transferring all of my information from my old hard drive to the new hard drive and installing the new hard drive into the computer. I believe that i installed properly. it was quite easy.
thanks for your help

It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.

Printing problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16

Has anyone experienced any problems after installing the Epson Printer Driver 2.16 through Software Update? I am having problems printing. It denotes an error message, specifically the rastertoescpii.app isn't working?

Oops, wanted everyone to know that the driver that Software Update downloaded and installed was 2.18, not 2.16 (which was the last one that worked for me). I just got done downloading the 2.18 driver directly from the Apple support website and installing it. Guess what? My printer is now working and everything is fine. If you are having issues, I suggest this route. Guess I solved my own problem, but hope this helps someone else.

What do I need to do AFTER installing RAM

OK
I just upgraded two G5 dual processor machines in my dept.
Went from 2.5G to 4G in one and 1G to 4G in the other.
I really have not noticed any sizeable improvement in speed.
System profiler says "OK" on memory. They are all matched, same brand etc...
MAC HELP did not have any tips about installing RAM.
My question is; must I do anything AFTER installing RAM such as reset PRAM, permissions etc...

No. There is nothing more you need to do.
Going from 2.5 to 4 will probably not make that much difference, unless you are using high-end apps like Final Cut Pro that use a lot of RAM, or you run many apps at the same time.
I definitely noticed a big difference going from 0.5 to 1.5. I only noticed a small difference going from 1.5 to 2.5.

Problems after upgrading RAM......why??

I recently installed after market memory (2 G) in my Macbook but as soon as I installed the memory my Mac started performing very weird, for example, it would freeze, the mouse would act funny, etc.
At first I thought I got bad Ram but as soon as upgraded the firm ware, everything looks OK for now
Is this a common problem in Macbooks when upgrading from 512 to 2 G or should I still be concern about this after market Ram?
thanks

Is the RAM recognized by the system? I would make sure it is properly seated. It does take considerable effort to get them in there. My thumbs were sore after installing my RAM.
Also, download and run Memtest. Be sure to have your MacBook plugged in when running the test as it will deplete your battery if you do not.

Monitor calibration problems after installing windows 8.1

I have a hp envy m6-1105tx and right after installing windows 8.1 my monitor changed completely.
When i have a photo open in photoshop tones, colors luminosity, gamma etc are all wrong. Before i never had problems, when i looked at a photo in photoshop and i will see the photo on a different screen it would be basiclally identical but now the photo in photoshop is much different than the actual photo, and this doesn't apply only to photoshop but to everything. I already try to do the calibration through the control panel but it didn't improve the situation, is there a way to get the screen back to the way it was before?
Thanks

Wehodancer, welcome to the forum.
I checked for an updated driver for the video, but there is none for Win 8.1. Therefore, I suggest installing the original driver for the video to see if it helps. It may be that it was corrupted during the update process.

Strange problems after installing Solaris 10 u6 on 64-bit PC

Hi all,
I have run into some very strange issues after installing Solaris 10 update 6 on my 64-bit PC (it's almost new). The problems are with graphical applications and desktop environments based on GTK (so it seems, at least).
I have installed Solaris normally, following most of the default options and choosing the "Entire Group" software packages installation. However, after the first login I've seen that:
1. No user creation process was offered to me and I had to login as root (I find it pretty strange)
2. After logging in as root into JDK system, my screen went blank for a couple of seconds and then the system threw me back to the login screen.
3. Logging into the old CDE environment was possible, but launching Firefox from there (using a command line terminal) wasn't. It gave me the following error message:
ld.so.1: firefox-bin: fatal: libmlib.so.2: open failed: no such file or directory
ld.so.1: firefox-bin: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/bin/firefox/firefox-bin: symbol gtk_init: referenced symbol not found.
It's very strange because GTK toolkit and JDK environment are supposed to be the core functionalities provided by Solaris. Does anyone have an idea what's going on?
My system sum-up:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quand Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz
RAM: 2 Gb of DDR2 SDRAM
Motherboard: MSI MS-7529 (Intel G31 chipset)
Monitor: AOC LM725
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT
Hard disk: 2 Western Digital HDs (SATA) 320 Gb each,
1 Western Digital external USB HD MyBook Essential 2, 500 Gb
DVD drives: 2 LG DVD drives (SATA)
Network card: Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC
I use my system in the following way:
On the first hard disk, I have a one-partition 32-bit Windows XP SP3 installation (ported from my old computer).
On the second hard disk, I have a functioning Fedora Core 9 installed on the first half of the disk's space (the installation is self-organized into several Linux partitions, e. g. /boot, /swap etc; I am a newbie so I don't know too much about Linux partitioning - only specified to Fedora how much space it could use for its volume group). I installed Solaris onto the second half of the second disk.
It has be noted that my USB external drive seemed to conflict with the network or graphics cards during the Fedora installation and caused it to hang sporadically, so I installed Fedora with this disk detached. I also detached it when I was installing Solaris, though it seems to have not influenced the problems I experienced. I also have attempted installing Solaris before I did so with Fedora, but had the same issues.

Well, it seems that the cause of the problem was that my DVD image was just corrupted - I didn't check it vs MD5 codes supplied by Sun assuming it went automatically OK. I downloaded the image again (this time it was OK), reinstalled the system and successfully logged into JDS. However, I am still puzzled why Solaris doesn't offer to create a default non-root user during the installation process.

Has anybody had problems after installing updates recently?

Hello,
I installed some updates about an hour ago on my MacbookPro, and now it is unable to start up. I do remember that I got a message saying "was unable to install ... and ..." before I restarted, but honestly, I didn't pay that much attention to it because I didn't think I'd get such huge problems from installing an update, and I don't remember what exactly was getting installed, or what two things were listed in the error message.
I think my MacbookPro is in pretty bad shape, because before it can even display the login screen, my screen goes gray and there's a message saying "you need to restart your computer, press the power button down for a few seconds" in several languages. And when I do restart, it takes me back to the same screen. I'm guessing that one of the components that were supposed to be installed didn't get installed properly and that's what's causing this.
I'm wondering if this has happened to anybody else. The first thing that came to my mind was to pop the Leopard installation disk in and see if I can reinstall everything again, but I'm on vacation right and I don't have the disk on me. Are there any known workarounds for something like this?
To give some background info, I use Leopard and I actually reinstalled the operating system (while preserving the non-system files) exactly a week ago, so I am certain that there were no files corrupted, at least on my part.
Thanks,
Yuri

Hi again Yuri,
Sorry that didn't help ferret out the issue. If a trip to the Apple store isn't too inconvenient, it might be worth it (and it's free!). I can give some more thoughts if you have the time and inclination to try to solve the problem yourself.
By the way, what do you mean when you say that your computer automatically reboots? It is making it through the booting process? Are you doing anything specific when it reboots? Will it do this even if you just leave it alone?
Here are some troubleshooting suggestions:
1. Kernel panics can be caused by both software and hardware problems, but the hardware ones are pretty easy to test. You could try unplugging everything you have attached to your computer (assuming you have an Apple keyboard and mouse, those can stay plugged in) and rebooting to see if the problem persists. If you have two RAM sticks in your machine, you could try swapping the bays they're in, and you could also try the Apple Hardware Test if you still have the original disk that came with your machine. (Let me know if any of this doesn't make sense.) My suspicion from your description of how it started is that this is a software problem, but you never know.
2. If none of that works, it probably is software-related. To try to figure out what might be causing the problem (I'm assuming here that your spontaneous reboots are happening after your system is fully booted), reboot your computer normally (to cause a KP so that we have an exact time frame), and then when it forces you to reboot, do so in Safe Mode. You can then access your log files (in the Console Program, under Applications > Utilities) and look for the section called "LOG FILES"—which you may have to click "Show Log List" to see—and select "PanicReporter." If you can paste that information in this thread before your computer crashes again, that would probably be very helpful in diagnosing the problematic software. (If it's quicker, you can e-mail a copy of that log file by selecting it in Console and going to File > Mail.) This file should tell us exactly what the computer was doing before the kernel panic, and if we know that, we might just know how to get around it.
If these solutions don't work, a lot of the troubleshooting procedures can be complicated if it's a software problem and if you're unfamiliar with the UNIX command-line environment. So if you're so inclined, it might be easier to just take the patient in! If you don't want to or can't, I'd be happy to help you further.
Good luck!

Problem after installing the flash player

Hello
after installing the flash player i can't run some videos from different sites like facebook,
how can i fix it ?
Thank you

After the problem, I have quickly installed the latest graphic driver - but allways the same problem.
Before I have installed the flash player - the power settings - windows energy settings was "Turn off the display after ten minutes." It has always worked correctly.
After I have installed the flash player - the display was gone off - but never go on - I must restart my computer.
Now I must choose "Do never turn off the display". This problem I have since 2010. Until now I did not know why. Now I have reinstalled my computer and every day another programm installed. To see what it is.
This is my PC http://www8.hp.com/de/de/hp-search/search-results.html?ajaxpage=1#/page=1&/cc=de&/lang=de& /qt=WX139EA
