Problem with ram or L bracket after ram update

Hi,
I just updated the ram on my macbook from 1 gig to 4 gig ram.
When I close it up, put the battery back in and start it the sleep lamp only blinks.
When I remove the battery and ram/L bracket and only use the power cable the computer works fine. Shows that 4 gig ram in (about this computer). So there is something whit the ram/L bracket..
AND yes, i've really pushed the memory in really hard!
My mac: 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

I found a solution that worked on my system. I don't know if it will help anyone else but here's what I did. The user-specific file seemed to be the Font Cache, which I cleared for all user accounts on my Mac OS X system, and then the problem was resolved.
To clear the current user’s font cache:
1) Quit all running applications
2) Open Terminal (in Applications -> Utilities)
3) Run this command:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Provide your admin password when asked.
4) Log out of your user account, then log back in.
This fixed the issue, and I can use Lucida Grande, move text layers and do all the other things that I couldn't when the problem occurred.

  • MSI GT70 0NC-070NE problems with KLM and S-Bar after Live Update

    Hey there.
    Last night i decided to update my laptop with the newest drivers, so i launched Live Update and got startet.
    When it was done with all of the updates, and had rebooted, both S-Bar and KLM wouldn't start. I clicked the button to have windows try and fix it online, but it didn't help.
    After that i tried to update them to the newest version, and that didn't help either.
    Is this a know issue, or am i just unlucky? Can it maby be solved with installing Win8, as im doing that in a few days from now?

    Make sure you have installed also NET Framework before you use KLM and S-Bar and I really don't recommend to use Live Update, if you want to update your drivers to the latest just go to the manufacurer's website in download section. Don't forget to choose your version of windows before downloading!

  • Problems with Wifi on iphone 4 after updating ot iOS 5.1

    After I update to iOS 5.1 is started having problems with my home wifi.
    After the update every thing seems to be running alright after after a day my connection was lost.
    When I tried to reconnect I got the message "unable to join the network".
    I tried the following things:
    - Forget network, reconnect: This did not help
    - restart iPhone: did not help.
    - Reset network settings: did not help.
    The next step I tried was to restart my router.
    This solved the problem, but after 1 day I have the same issue.
    When I go to work there is no problem when I get back home same thing over again.
    This is going on ever since I update to iOS 5.1
    Before the update I had no problems.
    Does anyone have more perment solution.

    I have the same issue with my iPhone4 running ios5.1. I have tried everything you mentioned above as well as updating the firmware on my router, setting my router to broadcast on 2.4GHZ or 5GHZ exclusively,  assigning my iPhone a static address as well as a multitude of other mentioned fixes. I have determined this is NOT an issue with my WiFi Network, or Router. All other wireless devices in my home do not have this issue; except for my partner's iPhone4S also running ios5.1. It's WiFi issues are identical to mine. Our other Smartphone, an  HTC running Android, has no WiFi issues whatever.
    When I attempt to use WiFi on other networks with my iPhone4, I encounter the same issues: Intermittent connectivity,reporting that it is "Unable to Join Network", showing a strong WiFi signal on screen and yet having no WiFi connectivity, showing WiFi connectivity on screen and strong signal strength, and having no IP Address(etc) under WiFi Networks Settings. After spending a great deal of time online looking for solutions I have determined the following:
    This is clearly an Apple Hardware or Software issue. I hope Apple eventually addresses this issue because it is extremely frustrating!

  • I am having a problem with very slow start up after expanding RAM on my 2009 Mac Pro.

    I am having a problem with very slow start up after expanding RAM on my 2009 Mac Pro (8 Core 2.93GHz). When I run the Mac Pro with 2 x 2Gb RAM it takes 4 seconds before the gray screen, chime and spinning wheel appear.However when I expand the RAM to 20GB the grey screen and chimes appear after a long 20+ second black screen.
    The RAM modules are paored  2 x 4GB Crucial CT51272BA1339.M18FMR and  6 x 2GB SAMSUNG M391B5673FH0-CH9, all DDR3 ECC.
    Reading articles on the internet, I thought it may be damaged RAM modules, but I have completed memtest and all are okay. I have tried changing the pairs around and if I use any paired 2 modules the Mac Pro starts normally, only when I try running more than 2 modules the delayed start up happens. (black screen 20 Seconds)
    I also have tried PRAM and SMU resets after changing the RAM setups, and the issues always occurs when I have more than 2 modules. As you can see I have 6 SAMSUNG modules and even with identical modules the issue happens, when increasing the RAM to more than 2 modules.
    The Mac Pro runs fine after the start up screen and can see all the modules, but has anyone else come across this issue, or have any ideas as to why my Mac Pro is taking 20 seconds to start up with 20 GB RAM?

    Hi there. Thanks for your comments.
    I have tried all the different combinations of RAM setup, and as stated in my initial topic, the Mac Pro boot up time only slows when I have more that 2 modules. Where I place these does not seem to make a difference.
    I have taken the Mac Pro to an Apple Reseller technician yesterday and they where not able to find any RAM errors. Apparently the boot up time is within Apple's acceptable parameters for this set up.
    Could anyone that is running a Mac Pro 2009 with more that 4 modules of RAM, please let me know if the boot up time is normal. ( the time it takes from pressing the power button to seeing the gray screen around 16 - 20 seconds)
    Or is anyone else having the same issues?
    thanks for your responce

  • MSI P6N SLI PLATINIUM problem with ram 800MHz

    Hello.
    I have problem with ram frequency.
    I have MSI P6N SLI PLATINIUM and OCZ 2x2GB 800MHz CL5  but in bios I see that my ram runs in 667 MHz. Because I have 800MHz ram, so it shouldn't be default 800MHz and not 667MHz? What I have to do to show bios that I have 800MHz ram?

    Quote from: DaLoona
    Oke, but they told me when i bought my new system that XP auto adjusts the speed of the memory.
    XP 64 bit can works normally with 4 or more GB they said, just like vista.

  • Problem with connecting to free wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

    Hi
    I had problems with connecting to free Wifi after upgrading my PC(Notebook) to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. As I travel a lot within europe, I am used to being able to connect to Free Wifi(those that dont need a key or password to enter) but soon after downloading
    Windows 8.1 I almost never was able to do this. I'd always get «LIMITED» even though the signal was strong.This was so fustrating,so much so that I reset my PC to clear it of Windows 8.1 and am now back to Windows 8.This is a shame because I was really liking
    using Windows 8.1 and if not for this problem(which is a big one) I'd still be using it. If I download Windows 8.1 again from the Windows store what is the probability that I'll have the same problems?
    Thanks Portozzygirl

    More often than not when a device isn't working it is because the driver has become corrupted. Re-installing a fresh copy should help

  • Problems with result area in workbooks after upgrade to BW 3.5

    Hi,
    we are experiencing some problems with our <b>workbooks</b> after the upgrade to BW 3.5. When refreshing all queries in a workbook (that was there before 3.5) without selecting a specific query we get the message <b>'Result area</b> cannot be found, specify a new one'. After selecting, the message appears again in an infinite loop.
    Has anybody had similar problems and has found a solution for this?
    Thanks,
    EMS

    Hi,
    I am having that message, always if I delete a Sheet which contains an embeded query.
    Even the sheet is deleted, the SAPBEX has information of all the embeded queries, and tries to find the Result area to put the data.
    To find out if this is your case as well,
    select an empty cell in a Sheet and continue like that, until all the embeded queries are been displayed.

  • I have problem with Access Connections on L412 after that utilyty upgrade

    I have problem with Access Connections on L412 after that utilyty upgrade in early August. Windows 7 Ultimate/x64.
    It stops connecting to WPA2 Enterprise (AES-CCMP), Microsoft PEAP, no server cert, with any credentials I try to use. The same account(s) works with native Intel manager on other notebooks and on mobile devices. I lost the wireless connectivity to enterprise WiFi network.
    And, after deinstallation of Access Connections, the inability to connect keeped intact with native Win7 WiFi management.
    I think, something was broken in Access Connections 5.83 Build 83C753WW and some registry settings/ dll modules were altered but not returned to normal after deinstall.

    Access Connections is definitely broken for WPA encryption.  Both versions 5.02 and 5.84 fail for me.  If I use the Windows XP wireless configuration instead of Access Connections, everything works.
    Does anyone know how to report this to Lenovo?  I chased links around the web site but couldn't find a place.

    Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM.
    1. SMC
    Read this and follow the instructions for your kind of mac:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    2. PRAM
    Follow the procedure below:
    1. Power down the machine.
    2. Locate the following keys on your keyboard in preparation for Step 4:
    command–option–P–R
    3. Press the ‘power on’ button.
    4. Immediately – and before the grey screen appears – hold down ‘command-option-P-R’ all together.
    5. Keep them held down until you’ve heard the start-up chime twice. After you release them you should hear it again, and hopefully your Mac will boot up as it should normally.
