PSE 11 not recognising extra ram on an iMac

I have an iMac which had 4 gb of ram. Photoshop defaulted the usage to just under 3 gb. I installed another 8 gb of ram but PSE fails to recognise the extra ram
so I can only get it to use 3gb. If I reinstall will it recognise all my ram? Will I still have all my photos on the organiser?

Hi smudger1939,
PSE won't recognize the extra RAM after 3072 MB. As it's the highest which a 64-bit application can use. So even if you install even another 16GB of it. I won't be able to use that one. However, it's a benefit when you are using several applications parallely. The extra RAM will be used by other applications, and will not hamper your PSE performance.
So if you want to increase the performance of PSE, reduce the history states. You can also refer to this kb article for the same:

Help Ibook not recognizing extra Ram!

Hi, please help, I have just fitted a 1GB ram to my ibook as recommended by the apple genius.
When I click on about this mac it still says 256ram.
Have I done anything wrong? Ive refitted it again and it still doesnt recognize it?
Is there something else I need to do?

bluebubble, Welcome to the discussion area!
Resetting the PRAM has nothing to do with it.
One or more of the following is true:
(1) The RAM isn't installed properly.
(2) The RAM isn't compatible with your iBook.
(3) The RAM is defective.
(4) The iBook's motherboard is defective and not recognizing the RAM.

Battery not recognised after ram upgrade - Help!

I just attempted a Ram memory upgrade that worked fine, but my battery stopped being recognised.
The battery was fine before, even so - I bought a new one (I tested in a different computer - it worked there) - still doesn`t work.
I decided to put back the old RAM - still no working Battery.
Reseted the SMC and the NVRAM 500 times and nothing changes.
Already have the latest Firmware (Efi and SMC) for quite a long time, can`t reinstall it or downgrade it (due to apple.). Apparently CD firmware restauration not available to my model ( original installation cd don`t work beacuse it is a previous version of firmware?)
What else can I do?
Is there any way to force a firmware installation ?

Check the connections on the MBP and the charger for dirt, debris and discoloration. The pins on the charger are spring loaded and should move freely.

Bootcamp on Macbook Not Recognising 4GB RAM?

Am running Windows XP on my Macbook with 4GB RAM, and I don't think that Windows is recognising that there is 4GB available. I wouldn't have thought there should be a setting for this, but I could be wrong? When I check my properties in My Computer, it tells me that I have 2.72 GB of RAM; same when I open up my antivirus software.

Hi to you both and a warm welcome to Discussions,
sounds like you are both using the 32-bit editions of XP/Vista.
While theretically the 32bit Windows can use the full 4GB RAM, in practise only about 3GB are indeed useable. The rest is taken by Windows itself and the hardware reserves some adress ranges of the RAM as well.
Not to forget the 256MB RAM that are used by the 9400 graphics chip (called shared memory).
ETX: Don't get fooled by Microsoft and the Vista SP1. You can still only use the RAm amount Vista reported before applying the SP1.
Microsoft has simply changed what Vista reports from 'useable RAM' to 'Installed RAM'.
Just a marketing trick.
Hope it helps

After Effects not recognising all RAM

I have just installed After Effects on a new PC with 6GB of RAM, however on the splash screen that appears when loading up AE it says x% of 4GB RAM being used.
Do I need to do something to make it see 6GB?
Thanks in advance.

> I have read all the posts and advice and still come out confused - I
have 8GB (on OS X) and just leave the multiprocessor options switched
off until someone comes up with a clear and concise walkthrough for
idiots like me !
from the post that I linked to:
"Let's take an example of a computer with eight processor cores and 8GB of RAM:
For HD, you want at least 2GB for each process; preferably more. And you almost always want to leave at least 2GB for other applications. That leads to some relatively simple math. For an eight-core system with 8GB of RAM, leaving 2GB for other applications gets you down to 6GB. That's enough RAM for three processes at 2GB each."
Is there something about that that you don't understand? Set Minimum Allocation Per CPU to 2GB. Set RAM To Leave For Other Applications to 2GB. You're done. After Effects will use three processes for rendering.

Samsung ram not recognised?

I have the later revision of the G4 aluminium with 1400x960 screen. Currently it has two 512 MB Samsung DDR2 sodimm modules in it. I replaced these with identical but larger modules (two 1GB Samsumg modules). I get either one or three beeps (no ram/not recognised) depending on the configurations I try. The new ram specs are:
Samsung 1GB PC5300 SO-DIMM Notebook Memory
M470T2864EH3-CE6 0839
Brand: Samsung
Memory Size: 1024MB DDR2
Memory Speed: 667MHz PC5300 200 pin
ECC-register: No
Memory Type: DDR2
CONDITION: Brand New
Any ideas? Thanks.

First off, I will say good choice on the Samsung, since they are OEM suppliers for Apple, and I only use their RAM in my machines. I find them completely compatible and never had problems. Now, as to why you are having a problem, that is odd. I do know that not all Samsung modules may be compatible... it has to do with the model number / part no.
The other reason you may have could be the lower RAM slot problem? Just a thought.
Second, people will tell you that you are using the wrong RAM and that it should be PC4200, but the PC5300 is known to work as well and is fully compatible so that is not the reason for the incompatibility. Crucial lists it on their website as compatible, and at one point, Apple had that part available as an upgrade option on their website (online store) for people who wanted to upgrade the RAM in their DLSD PowerBooks. I also confirmed this when I bought two sticks of PC5300 Samsung RAM pulled from a MacBook and sold by Other World Computing (www.macsales.com) in their clearance section and it worked like a charm in my PowerBook.
If I had the RAM on hand, I'd give you the exact part no., but I've since parted with my trusty 15-incher and upgraded to a unibody MacBook Pro. But me having a photographic memory of sorts (hey there's a pun there!), the part no. you have listed doesn't look familiar to me. Where did you get your RAM?

RAM upgrade not recognised

Dear All,
I recently embarked upon upgrading by aging iBoook G4 with built in 256 RAM.
I followed crucial's advice re compatibility and alas on fitting the chip it does not recognise the
SDRAM module!
According to the manual the memory slot can accept the follow spec module:
DDR SO-DIMM
1.25 inch or smaller
128 256 512 MB or 1 GB
200 pin
PC2100 DDR 266 Type RAM
Crucial supplied me with a faster version PC2700 which they say should be compatible. Is there a way of making my iBook recognise this module? It appears not to have happened automatically. Should I send it back?
What to do?!? Stuck on OS X 10.3.9 ain't much fun!
Yours frustrated,
HR

It is recognised!
Either wasn't pushing it home far enough or resetting P-RAM helped?
Cheers.

[solved] Extra Thinkpad tablet hardware buttons not recognised

Hi there,
I am having a Thinkpad X200T which comes with additional tablet hardware buttons, such as for rotation.
However, these buttons are not recognised. I just checked it with 'xev'. They do not generate a click event.
Does anyone know how to enable these buttons?
All information I have found so far was on the ThinkWiki which says that you have to map these scancodes to keycodes. However, I am wondering if there is no other way to directly enable them, such as by a module to be loaded.
The buttons I am talking about are shown here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/File:X41_ … uttons.JPG
Thanks!

Does the GNOME shortcuts manager conflict with setkeycodes and xbindkeys? Can it set the buttons you mention itself? I just can't grasp your reasoning; you may as well say "I have to send a package from London to New York by tomorrow morning, but I don't want to use air freight because I favor the train system." If your favored solution doesn't work (or doesn't even exist), then relying on it is foolish. I can understand that you might want some kind of "Pure GNOME environment" solution, but there very well might not be one.

2008 Mac Pro - Ram not recognised - Fix?

Hi,
Have a 2008 Mac Pro and its only recognising the RAM on one of two the risers, I've pulled it out, checked and put back in but still no joy,
any ideas - is it RAM or the riser which has (probably) gone bad?
Thanks

Not privy to how much and make or whatnot but I would check with each pair.
The rules though for where and how are important.
Generally FBDIMMs do that they failed and use your vendor's lifetime warranty.
2008's with 8-core 3GHz is rare. It says "MacPro3,1" and talking 800MHz DDR2.

Installing 2x1 Gig extra Ram

MSI P35 Neo2- FR
2 x 1 Gig Ram
Windows XP
Video 8000GT one Gig Ram
Intel Dual Core E8500
Bios 1.8
Newbie --
I am thinking about installing 2 x 1 Gig extra Ram, I understand that Windows XP 32 bit, will only recognised a total of 3 Gig. Does this mean that the system only operates of 3 Gig of Ram, all be it 4 Gig of Ram is inserted?

You could buy 2 x 512Mb modules......
You will not really see big increase in performance for day to day tasks. If you edit photos or do media work then yes you will see speed increase.
On a sidenote:- Did manage to acheive 3.5Gb seen buy XP pro, by dropping to a 64Mb graphics card.....

IPod touch not recognised by itunes. have tried fix suggested in FAQs

Hi Guys,
I have a 32gb iPod touch, which recently had been running a bit slowly. As a solution to this i updated with the newest sowftware, and cleared all my apps. Still slow, so i decided to do a system reset from the settings function. This was fine but since then my ipod has not switched on, it merely switches on to the apple logo, and goes back off again. When i hook it to a computer, itunes does not recognise that it is connected and i cant do a system restore. I have tried the 'hold home and connect to cable' trick but with no success.Is this a problem that you have heard of before?ie is there a quick solution, or will it need some parts/software updated by apple?

Help please, from iPod Touch experts?
(Sorry Darraghjoneill, not an answer but extra questions.)
I've an 8Gb iPod Touch which was working fine until around iTunes9. Now it is not recognised in iTunes. I've been through all of the support docs and suggestions covering deinstalling and reinstalling iTunes (including iTunes8), AMDS, USB Drivers, etc. I've an iPod Nano which works fine with the same USB cable in the same USB slot and a 10Gb Classic that works fine through Firewire.
When connecting the iPod Touch it shows the "Connect to iTunes" graphic and does manage to start iTunes but then I get the "iTunes could not ID this iPhone properly, disconnect and reconnect". I do that and then get the "Unknown Error 0xE8000065" problem with the added complication that, whenver this appears it messes up Firefox so no new pages can be loaded and the only fix is to Reboot my whole PC. I also get this Firefox problem when stopping/starting/restarting AMDS.
Stupidly, I thought resetting the iPod Touch to factory defaults might have helped but it didn't so now I have a very shiny brick.
Any practical suggestions?

My itunes account is not recognising my ipad when I connect it to my computer. I have followed the Apple troubleshooter for this but with no success.

My iTunes account is not recognising that I have plugged in my iPad to the computer. Other devices, such as my iPhone, are being recognised, but not the iPad. I have tried the Apple troubleshooter for this problem but it didn't help. ie I've restarted itunes, restarted iPad, reinstalled iTunes, etc. Any ideas?

Tecra M5: UJ-841s not recognised as DVD/RW by any burning software

I have seen on other posts that it is common for the drive to be identified in the Device Manager as a DVD-RAM (which is what is happening) but my DVD Multi-recorder (on a Tecra M5) is not recognised by any DVD burning software.
Is there an update or driver I should have?
Thanks

Hi
My first question: Do you use the Toshiba OS from the Toshiba recovery CD?
Did you install and use several burning applications together?
In my practical knowledge its not advisable to use different burning programs together.
You should use only one. I recommend Nero. Its nice.
If the sonic is installed on the HDD, try to remove it and use only the nero.
If the drive will be not able to handle the DVD medias, you should check different brands.

External hard drive not recognised in start up options

Hi! I'm struggling to get to grips with creating a bootable external drive - any advice would be very welcome!
I've recently bought a LaCie Triple Interface 300GB external drive to use for backup storage and to use as a back up bootable drive should disaster strike. It's connected to my Mac via the FireWire 800 port.
I've backed up my documents and cloned system folders and apps using Intego Backup, but the drive is not recognised in the start up options of the system preferences, nor does it appear as a bootable drive when I option-restart.
Do I need to format and partition the drive before it will be recognised as a bootable drive? (I haven't done so) Or have I just cloned the wrong thing?! I'm not entirely sure what I need to clone to be able to boot and back up from it. Should I clone the entire HD?
Or does it sound like something else entirely?
Can anyone help??
1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 6.5MB RAM Mac OS X (10.2.x)

I'm not familar with Intego Backup. Get Carbon Copy Cloner and use it to clone your entire drive, user files and all.Be sure to check the "make bootable" box before you start the process. Could be that Intego isn't capable of making a drive bootable.

The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.
