RAM upgrade an an Imac 17inches - I am a dummy please help ;-)

Hello,
I have bought an Imac last year Sept 06 (intel based) and I have 1giga of RAM. I would like to extend it (christmas gift!!) and I was wondering on my ram I have in my Imac:
1/ How many RAM slot do I have? 1, 2, more ?
2/ Currently, in the machine I have: 1x1 Giga or 2x512 Gigas?
Can you help me ?
Cheers
Stephane.

Hi Stephane,
1/ How many RAM slot do I have? 1, 2, more ?
Two
2/ Currently, in the machine I have: 1x1 Giga or 2x512 Gigas?
One 1GB module, thus leaving one free for you to add your additional 1GB module. You can verify this by firing up System Profiler (in your Applications/Utilities folder) and selecting Memory from the sidebar on the left.

I have just upgraded to Maverick, I cannot open vectorworks 2011 now. please help..

I have just upgraded to Maverick, I cannot open vectorworks 2011 now. please help..

The way I resolved this issue was to create a dual boot Mac, so that I am able to boot from either Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Running Vectorworks in a virtual machine just didn’t cut it.
I had already upgraded to Mavericks, which meant that trying to install OS 10.8.5 as a second operating system produced the error message saying it cannot be installed on this computer.
First, if you need a copy of Mountain Lion installer and you has previously purchased it, open the App Store app, press the option key and then click on the purchases tab. You will see a list of all downloaded software from Apple and you can download OS 10.8.5 again without paying for it a second time. If you had previously created a boot disk of Mountain Lion, which I had not, you can obviously skip this step and the next.
You will need a boot disk for Mountain Lion. After downloading the Mountain Lion installer, the easiest way to create a boot disk is to use a slick little app called DiskMaker X, which you can get here: http://liondiskmaker.com Next you will need a USB flash drive of at least 8GB in size. Install and run DiskMaker X, plug in your flash drive, and follow the prompts. In just a few clicks, your boot drive will be easily created.
Next, you will need to add a partition on your startup drive on which you will install Mountain Lion. Here is the procedure for creating the new partition: http://macs.about.com/od/applications/ss/diskutilitysize.htm You can find this at Apple support, but this site gives you additional procedures that may be helpful. I set my new partition at 50 GB, but you can do with less is you don’t have the space.
With those two operations done, and your OS 10.8.5 boot drive plugged in, restart you Mac and press the option key after you hear the chime. You will be asked which drive you wish to start from- select the boot drive. After your Mac boots up, you will see several options- choose install Mountain Lion (actually I think the option is reinstall Mountain Lion).
After completing the OS install, install your copy of Vectorworks, copy and move whatever files you need to from Mavericks, and you are in business. To boot from either OS, simply press the option key and select OS 10.8.5 when you need to work in Vectorkorks, or OS 10.9 for all your other tasks. Switching back and forth isn’t as advantageous as otherwise, but it is the best way to run Vectorworks without upgrading for the $1,500 or so that would be required otherwise.

This subject has been talked/written about a lot, after Lion was introduced. A solution from Apple has not yet been published, everybody is waiting.
Try for instance https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3734081?start=15&tstart=0, but there are more discussion groups with the same subject: frequently lost WiFi-connections in newer Macs running Lion or up.

How can I do a hard reset on my tablet from my imac via usb??? please help

I've research almost all night and no answers please I need to do a hard reset on my tablet because I can't remember the log in. I've try on the tablet everything I could and nothing so the only thing is left, is do it via USB thru my iMac. please help.

What tablet...?
If you have an iPad you can only backup to iTunes and restore it from iTunes on your iMac.
see > iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
If that doesn't work, then your best bet for an iPad is to take it to your local Apple Store and have them Reset it.
Your best bet for an android tablet is to take it to the local retailler and have then do whatever it takes to Reset it.

Intel imac (white) will not start up, please help.

I have a 20" intel imac (white not silver) running 10.6.4.
I can not get it to boot up on its own, the farthest it gets is to the Silver Apple with spinning gear.
I have tried:
1. safe restart - the result is - I get a circle with slash and the a folder with ? and then the silver apple with gear spinning.
2. booting from disk warrior and running it - the result I get is -"The new directory cannot replace the original directory because of a disk malfunction."
3. reinstalling the OS from the start up disk, - the result I get is - "The contents of this disk can't be changed."
4. starting from the OS 10.6 disk and running Disk utilities - the result I get is - "Invalid node structure, The volume Macintosh HD could not be verified completely. Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk." When I hit repair button I get this result, "Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
All of these methods have failed me. Can anyone please help me? I really need to be able to at least recover some files from the imac. That is my main concern at this point.
Thanks in advance.

The problem is I can not get my HD to boot up, I can start up with the install disk but disk utilities can not repair the disk. I can not dragNdrop, it wont let me select files. I can not reinstall the OS because it says their is a problem with my drive. It sounds like I'm screwed but my business related info is to important to just give up.
I was able to make a disk image of a folder that had I few files I need and was able to copy that disk image to my external drive. So I may have to do that (tideous but I am willing to do that to recover the data).
Any other thoughts before I take it somewhere?

If your phone isn't being recognized by your computer, you need to follow the steps in this article to resolve that
Also, some basic isolation needs to be done. Does it show up in itunes on any other computers? do you have other cords you can test with to see if it might be the cord? if the phone doesn't show up on any computers, it's likely your phone has a hardware issue
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538?viewlocale=en_US is the article to use if you want to concentrate on trying to get a particular computer to recognize your phone

After upgrading from SL to Lion, temperature went up? please help!

Just upgraded my macbook pro from Snow leopard 10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.2, after upgrading I instantly installed the software updates and now my version is 10.7.4. However the i noticed the computer was getting hot fast and im sure its not a problem with the indexing and spotlight because that finished hours ago. Please help, do not want to melt my computer down. Before on snow leopard istat detects my temperature as 30 degrees celcius to 40 when im just surfing on firefox, now on lion istat shows 60-70 when only firefox is open and 50+ when nothing is open.
PLEASE HELP ME

You have something called 'CasperSuite' in your login items?
If you don't use it, remove it. That should take care of the 'jamf' problem on bootup.
My MBP is currently at 64C, I'm not running much, just mail and safari. I really don't think you've got anything to worry about at 50C. If your temp starts climbing to 70C and the fans are noisy, then you need to start looking at what's going on.
EDIT: This might also settle you mind a bit:

Can I do a ram upgrade on my imac and what kind of firewire do I have?pgrade and firewire

I have an iMac from 2008 or thereabouts. I want to get into video editing and buy FCPX. I have model identifier iMac8.1, with an Intel Core2 Duo 2.66 Ghz, with 2 GB ram, one 1 GB DDR2SDRAM 800 MHz in each bank. Graphics card is ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro. The FireWireBus is up to 800 Mb/sec.
Questions:
Can I expand to 4 GB of ram, as I’m told I should do for FCPX. Do I have the slots for that?
Is the graphics card sufficient for FCPX?
To get an external hard drive with fast connection for video transfer, do I need one with a Firewire 400 connector cable or Firewire 800? Or do they use the same connectors?
Thanks in advance for all help.

According to this http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-2.66-20-inch-al uminum-early-2008-penryn-specs.html your iMac can be upgraded to even 6GB RAM.
The 2600Pro is sadly on this list http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664 of not being OpenCL-compatible which is a requirement for FCP X
FirewireBus up to 800Mb/sec means that you have 1 FireWire800 port (plus 1 Fireswire400 port) on your iMac.
FW800 and FW400 use different connectors but there are FW800-to-FW400 adapters avaiable.
Personally i would go for an external harddisk with a FW800 connector.

8GB Ram Upgrade for 27" iMac (Not Quad Core)

Hey guys, I have an iMac 27", not the quad core though. I want to know, what is the best UK retailer to buy 8GB of Ram for my iMac. I have 4GB at the moment, and I want to run FCP, and After Effects more efficiently, speed up Render time etc.
Where can I buy some from a shop that could be found in the Trafford Centre, so Curries/PC World , The Apple Shop, Selfridges, etc.
Any ideas about how much it would cost?
Also how much more would 16GB of RAM be?
Is it easy to install?
Thanks guys
-Bob
