Ram upgrade not working on Intel S12

I attempted to upgrade the ram on my new Intel S12. I purchased a 2 GB Crucial 2GB DDR2 667 from Newegg and upon installing, the S12 will not boot. After powering on, there is not any display. All returns to normal after removing the memory. Does any one have any ideas or other experience upgrading memory on an Intel S12?
Thanks
Jim
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Mellamogo,
My understanding is that there is 1 GB RAM soldered directly onto the mainboard. The empty RAM slot is solely for upgrade purposes. As previously mentioned, I believe the Intel Atom systems cannot be upgraded beyond 2 GB total (meaning only a 1 GB module can be used in that slot), whereas the VIA Nano S12s are now upgradable to a total of 3 GB, thanks to a recent BIOS update.
I received my S12 with the VIA Nano CPU today... I already updated the BIOS and plan to purchase a 2 GB RAM module in the near future.

16 GB ram upgrade not working

I have an iMac 3.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (late 2009 model) I purchased 4 x 4GB 1333 ram chips to upgrade to 16GB. All four chips simultaneously do not work. The screen stays black and it beeps endlessly with a pause every 6 seconds. However, if I put any two of the four chips in (= 8GB) the computer boots fine. If I use any two of the four plus the two 2GB original chips (=12GB) computer boots fine. I have tried every combination with the help of the “support line” of the company I bought them from.
The original chip speed was 1067 and the new are 1333. I was told the computer could run both and it does, up to 8GB not including the original ram. When I use the orginal ram to bring it up to 12GB it drops the speed to 1067 from the 1333.
Would appreciate your help!!!
Thanks, Tim

There have been many discussions on this subject; you might want to read these (lengthy!!):
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2567907
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2588800
The short version is: If going with OEM RAM, 16 GB appears fine. When going with third party RAM and 16 GB - problems; however, third party RAM and a total of 12 GB work. That's what I got on mine.
However, you added another wrinkle to the whole thing: I would always stay with the exact specs that Apple publishes for a particular model; I wouldn't care what I'm told by someone else. And, yes, it'll drop the speed - that's because it wasn't made to address the extra speed.
May I ask what brand and where you bought yours? Hopefully it was somewhere with a good warranty/return policy. I would contac them and explain the issues and send back all of it for a refund; then purchase 2 x 4 GB with the right specs from someone like OWC (macsales.com).

3GB RAM upgrade not working

Hi,
I have a 20" iMac that has 1.5GB (1x1GB 1x512MB, mixed brands) that I need to upgrade to the 3GB max. I bought a 2GB PC2 5300 SODIMM from NewEgg to use with the 1GB one I had already, but it won't work. I've tried switching them around etc with no luck. The 2GB and the 1GB work fine by themselves, but whenever I combine the 2GB with anything, I just get a black screen, no startup tone and a solid white light. I can still return the newegg DIMM so if I have to I will.
Thanks

Apple recommends that the larger of the two RAM modules be placed in the slot closest to the display.
Intel-based Mac Power On Self Test RAM error codes
If the computer detects no SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory, also referred to as RAM) or the RAM installed does not meet the appropriate specifications, the screen will remain black but the power LED on the front of the computer will blink once per second to signal the error. This error condition may be due to physically damaged RAM, installing the incorrect type of RAM, or not having RAM installed.

RAM upgrades not working

Hi all,
I've been wanting to upgrade the two 512 M DIMMS that came with my PowerBook to a pair of 1 G DIMMS.
I purchased a pair of DIMMs from a retailer I found in MacWorld (A1A Computing) and when I tried calling them after my computer kept crashing, it took way too long for them to refer to it as "Customer Service". Ultimately, after contact and returning the pair, they sent a new pair but the wrong type.
After several more interminable attempts to reach them, I finally did and they were reluctant (to put it nicely) to help. I told them I wanted a refund and had to go through VISA to get it. This is not an honorable dealer.
Next, I went to OWC (nice folks) and the first pair they sent didn't work either - crashes, freezes, etc.
In each case, when I restored the original DIMMs all was fine.
I zapped the PRAM, NVRAM, ran the Hardware test (which came back fine) and then ran Rember, which found problems (same as it did with the ones from A1A).
I got a new pair from OWC and immediately ran Rember, which found problems.
I tried removing one of the DIMMs (left one in the bottom slot), reran Rember and it said fine.
Same when I swapped out for the other DIMM.
Then I tried putting the DIMMs, one at a time, into the top slot. Each time, Rember found errors.
I've heard of a bottom slot issue with the 1.25 G PowerBook but never anything about the top slot.
In every case, my system recognized the full 2 G RAM but there are crashes and freezes until I restore the original DIMMs.
Both the originals and the ones from OWC are made by Hynix.
I've saved Rember logs for the new DIMMs in all the tests I described above.
Before returning them to OWC (and resigning myself to having only the original 1 G RAM in my machine), does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone seen the top slot issue I've described?
(Funny that there is no problem at all with the original RAM.)
Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed on this one.
Best regards,
Barry

While just about all Powerbooks are sensitive to the quality of RAM used, the earlier Powerbooks seem to be a little more sensitive than others. While some RAM may meet the printed specs, it may not work with Apple's architecture. The issue is memory bus slewing, where power to the memory bus is modulated to reduce heat and conserve battery power.
When it comes to memory for a finicky Powerbook, I'd recommend Crucial, as they guarantee their memory will work when selected from their memory selector at http://www.crucial.com . You can usually also find a 5% to 10% off coupon on the internet (search for 'crucial coupon'). I've used Crucial (also makes Micron memory) for years with no issues.
Samsung and Kingston (not the Kingston valueram line, though) also typically work well. I've also used these brands in later Powerbooks with no issues.
Hynix memory usually works pretty well in Powerbooks, however, I'm sure they produce a number of different RAMs, like the other memory producers. For example, Kingstons regular memory works well in our Powerbooks, however, their valueram line doesn't work reliably.

07' Mac Mini 4GB Ram Upgrade Not Working.

I have a 2007 Mac Mini (Intel Core 2 Duo) which runs slow with 1GB ram. I purchased two 2GB sticks of ram and replaced the two stock ram sticks previously making 1GB ram - But my Mac Mini will not boot with 4GB ram in it. I tried taking one stick out, leaving one 2GB stick in with no luck, and so I have no other ideas. I was told that this would be no problem, and I installed it all correctly following every procedure necessary.
Can anyone help me?

Komputerbay ram is sketchy at best, and another user here:http://forums.macrumors.com had the same experience you are having with that memory, the Mac will not even boot.
The memory for Macs has to be very precise, 5300/5400 is not acceptable as a rule. It must be straight 5300. If you can, return the memory modules and buy some guaranteed to work with your Mac. Go to OWC, http://www.macsales.com or Crucial, http://www.crucial.com who guarantee their memory to work or your money back.

RAM Upgrade not "working"

I am hopeful someone can help me out with this.. I have an imac G4 1.25 w/256 RAM loaded in the factory slot. The User Accessible slot was empty, by reading these boards I determined that for an upgrade (to load Leopard) I needed a 512mb 200 pin SO-DIMM DDR memory card. I purchased this card, followed the installation instructions (from an Apple site) and buttoned it back up. It still shows up as 256 under the hardware overview and says the other slot is empty (which it clearly is not). I have checked the fit, tightness, etc. and rebooted 3 times with the same results. This is really frustrating since it is so simple.. do memory cards "really" go bad or have I just done something wrong?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Either;
The module isn't inserted properly.
The module is the wrong type.
The module is defective.
The slot is defective.
Try re-seating the module in the first instance.

Window 10 build 10041 does not work with Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet on ASUS motherboard

I originally posted this question here:
answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_update/window-10-build-10041-does-not-work-with-intel/6729892f-83aa-4822-b20a-ea84f4fd06c7
and was asked to post it on this forum...
I updated a computer I have which is a quad core i7 that I built and includes an ASUS motherboard with Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet built in. Windows 10 preview 9926 worked fine with this network adapter. Window 10 build 10041 does not, and I have tried
it twice so far. I even went as far as buying a Thunderbolt-Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (Broadcom, sold by Apple)... and while it installed the driver automatically, it did not work either. Each time you try to view the properties of either of them, it locks
up or give an error. In fact, doing much of anything with the Intel adapter icon assures you of not being able to do a clean reboot... have to kill power. I have finally gone back the previous version 9926, which has its issues but no where near as bad
as not having any network connectivity! Does anyone have this issue and a workaround?
Note, there are two images on the windows 10 preview forum that I posted this question on. I could not post the full link as I was getting a message here that links and graphics are not allowed.

Thanks Roger, I posted the following yesterday in the other thread (thinking it was this thread - confusing after they moved it here)... It may be that the new driver fixes the issue that 10041 has with it, but I have not tried that yet. If I do I will update
this... Thanks!
I have more information about this, which basically exonerates any issue with the Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet hardware or software. I have 3 computers with Windows 10 preview so I have multiple angles to see issues from. With this I have found a culprit
(but I suspect not just the only culprit) in this above mentioned problem...
10041 build combined with installing (or attempting to install) CISCO VPN Windows 7 64bit 5.0.07.0440-k9 client causes the issue mentioned above. I confirmed this on a completely different machine with a totally different Ethernet adapter. First machine
is an ASUS motherboard in a tower system I built, with the Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet hardware built in. Second machine is a Gateway Laptop from 2008 which has a Marvell Yukon 88E8057 PCI-E Gigabit adapter built in. Build 10041 will work fine with my 2008
laptop, including the MS VPN client (which I have tested). However, if you attempt to install or even uninstall the Cisco client you will have to do a recovery to a restore point (as I have done twice) in order to get your network working again. Installing
or attempting to install (because it never even does install properly and times out), CISCO VPN client will render your entire network unusable. Going back to a restore point saved me and I am still running 10041 but I can't use CISCO VPN client any longer.
I could with build 9926, including on all 3 machines. I now have 9926 on two machines and 10041 on only the 2008 laptop.
Hopefully this above information helps someone resolve the issue. I will also mention, even though my network is working on the 2008 laptop, I still can't go into the Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections and right mouse click on the Marvell
Yukon 88E8057 PCI-E Gigabit adapter icon. I get an error when clicking on Properties menu popup : "An unexpected error has occurred". So something is still up with my network adapter driver or windows software, but it could be a side effect of all
that has happened with the Cisco software install attempts under 10041.
Another note: CISCO Anyconnect also has the issue.

MY iphone ram is not working what can i do?

HI i am ahmad my iphone 5s ram is not working my iphone is suddenly get down from my hands and get power of plz tell me what can i do

Hey there Ahmad.altaf27,
It sounds like you are unable to turn on your iPhone 5s. I would recommend the troubleshooting from the following article to help you get the issue resolved:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Flash Player 10.2.153.1 upgrade not working on 64bit Intel-Mac in Safari 5.0.4

I feel robbed! I want to use my Safari.
The latest upgrade of Flash player does not work.
I don't even remember downloading it, it must've been an automatic update!
I can not play youtube videos nor can I play any games on Facebook.
Who knows what is not working in my Avid!! I have not been working on that lately.
The flash player still works on FireFox, but i have no intention on switching to that.
The first aid has been run a few times.
It will download the free flash player for Intel Mac and it says the install is successful, but it is not there.
I have CS4 and it never bothered or disrupted the free flash player before.
I uninstalled it just in case and nearly lost it! When I tried to reinstall Flash, it said my disc to was blank!
Luckily, a friend in the business of fixing computers was able to get that back! whew.
The flash player from the CS4 is showing up in a folder and will even open when clicked on, but it does nothing. It is version 10.0 r2.
When I go to the place where they say to "see what version of flash you have"
I just get that icon that says to "Get Adobe Flash player".
It down not show the suggested "missing plug-in" pictures.
Yes, I read there is compatibility issues with the 64 bit Mac, but it always worked before!!!
Help!! Please!!

So the Shockwave Flash plugin in FF is Installed and Enabled. That's why Flash Player is working and why you were able to see the Flash Player logo animation. On the other hand, evidently the Shockwave Flash plugin is either not Installed in Safari or if it is it is Disabled. And that is why it's not working and you can't see the Flash Player logo.
Yes, I know Flash Player can be Installed in any supported 64bit OS. Also I thot that the 64bit browser in Mac was the "default" browser and the "Compatibility layer" had to be used. Similiar to the PC IE8 or IE9, switching over to the Compatibility feature in the browser.
Do you need to activate the Compatibility feature? I have had other Mac users tell me that their problem was they were using the 64bit browser and found out they had to use the 32bit browser, so I thot it was something they had to do. I would think if it was automatic they would not have had to "do" anything. But like I said I don't use Mac so can only relate what they tell me.
With Safari on either of the test sites, no Flash Player version was displayed?
Look into the HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ directory and see if you have the below two files:
Flash Player.plugin, flashplayer.xpt
After that see if this thread is of any help: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2725949#2725949

[SOLVED] Suspend to ram / disk not working in newer kernels

Hi all,
this puzzles me for a while:
My desktop system was able to suspend to ram / disk flawlessly in older kernels. It stopped working with 3.3. The suspend seems to work, the machine goes to standby. But when I try to resume, the machines is on but the screen stays black. Neither the console is working nor can I ssh into it. Only hard reset gets me out here
I did investigate and found many tips and hints which all led to nowhere. I even changed my filesystem back from btrfs to ext4 and my VGA module from proprietary nvidia to nouveau.
When this all failed I got to the idea to burn several install disks. One of the official 2011.08.19 (kernel 3.0.3) and one of the snapshots 2012.06.05_04-00-01 (kernel 3.3.7) and 2012.07.17_04-00-01 (kernel 3.4.4). I guess these can not be compromised by some hosed installation. I started one by one and issued the follwing command:
echo mem > /sys/power/state
which suspends the machine successfully in all three cases. With 2011.08.19 the resume is working but the other two fail. Some more info about the hardware:

This seems to be a kernel bug. Any input?

Another life-sign. The issue is still unsolved but I've come a little further. It seems to be a combination of more failures. The first one is USB hardware. I have a usb keyboard-mouse combo from Logitech (comfort cordless desktop). The USB bus does not wake up correctly when resuming from suspend. So my keyboard is unsuable. I put in a file /etc/pm/sleep.d/20_custom-ehci_hcd with the following content:
BUSES="0000:00:1a.7 0000:00:1d.7"
case "${1}" in
hibernate|suspend)
# Switch USB buses off
for bus in $BUSES; do
echo -n $bus | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/unbind
done
resume|thaw)
# Switch USB buses back on
for bus in $BUSES; do
echo -n $bus | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/bind
done
esac
The bus IDs were taken from /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd
When I start pm-suspend from a console (no X started) this seems to reanimate my keyboard while the screen stays black (with backlight on). I can type and reboot. Also I can ssh into the machine from my laptop.
Concerning the blank screen there seems to be a bug in both the proprietary nvidia modules as well as the nouveau driver. The nvidia folks have issued a new beta driver which seems to at least minimize the failures. This all concerns the nv50-family of nvidias cards. I have a GF8600GT which is one of these
I'll wait for this driver and then restart my testing. Until then - no suspend/hibernate
EDIT: Today's nvidia 304.32 is solving my issues - I can sleep again

SIMS 2 not working on Intel-based Mac Mini

SIMS 2 will not work on new Mac Mini. I contacted Aspyr who said that the integrated graphics card prevents it from displaying graphics and that this was a hardware problem.
Is there any way to make SIMS 2 work on the Mac mini
-update or add on graphics card
-use in PC mode
- or ?
Mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi Hillview,
If you bought 'The Sims 2' for Mac then it will only run on either a PowerPC Mac or an Intel Mac running OS X, not under Windows with BootCamp unfortunately. This means that you can't attempt to run it in "PC" mode. The Apple Store states that the minimum 'Graphics' requirements to run The Sims 2 are either an ATI 9200 and higher, or a GeForce FX5200 and higher. Unfortunately they don't quite take into account that they are shipping macs with Intels integrated graphics chipset now, and no Intel specific requirements are mentioned in the system requirements. It does however state that a minimum of 32MB Graphics Power is required to run the game, and the GMA950 that is in your mac mini has upto 64MB shared, meaning that technically it should run fine.
It must simply be a problem in the way that the Intel graphics chip processes visuals that are specific to the game its self and unfortunately you can't upgrade the Graphics chip inside your mac mini - it's soldered in! A call to the Apple Care Help Line may be your best bet, because the chances of you being able to get it running, aren't really looking all too good unfortunately =(
Hope that I may have been of help
