Crucial is very good too, but I think many of us would put OWC on the same level. Maybe search here for OWC or macsales.com -- they give great service and their products are highly reliable.
They also have a small rebate if you send them back the RAM that came with your iMac. (see the yellow "Memory Trade In Rebate" button on that same page).

Buying the wrong version of a song.

Buying the wrong version of a song. Is it final transaction? can this mistake be undone or better yet corrected?
There is this song called "gotas de lluvia" by a group "los diablos locos" which i found on youtube. I could have captured it & had a copy that way but i wanted to support this new & upcoming band. So i purchased the song however i was expecting a "salsa" version instead i got a "cumbia" version of it. I went back to itunes and looked over at the store info to see if i somehow over read or misread anything. However there is no way of telling one song version over the next, & itunes doesnt offer a way to sample the song before you purchase it. I cant seem to find any cusmomer care i can call to correct this problem instead i can only post this question and hope someone can respond with a solution. In the meantime i have lost faith in the current purchasing process of music and because i cant read or tell the difference between songs ill hate to buy two versions of the same song in order to find the one im looking for. Or worst buy the same song twice. Am i entitled for a refund or credit?
My friend says that is itunes' way of tricking customers to buying multiple songs, but i hate to think so sinicle. Can someone please tell me different?

No.
BTW, Your question has nothing to do with itunes U - the place where Universities, museums and colleges post educational material.

Did Apple send me the wrong RAM??? Doesn't fit!

I bought 2GB of RAM. I selected MacPro (early 2009) and it told me this is what I need: 2GB 1066MHZ DDR3 ECC 1X2GB-GEN
I bought it and it DOESN'T FIT!
Did I buy the wrong one? What the ****?!

Hi,
with what your signature says, you don't have a Early 2009 MacPro !
Most likely that's why you got the wrong modules.
My interpretation of your sig leads to a 2 x 2.66 Dual-Core Mac Pro from late 2006 / early 2007
Use the System Profiler (Applications/Utilities folder) and look at the hardware overview for the Model Itentifier.
If Mac Pro 1.1 then my assumption is correct.

Before I Buy the MPEG-2 Component

Hi,
Before I buy the MPEG-2 Component for Quicktime, I want to make sure it is the right thing to do. I'd hate to make a purchase and not have it solve my problem.
Here's my specs:
QuickTime Player 7.5.0
Mac OS X 10.3.9
Mac iBook 466 MHz PowerPC G3 - A Graphite Clamshell (vintage and I love it!)
576 MB SDRAM
Sony DCR-SX40 4GB Handycam Camcorder
It is my understanding that if I download:
MPEG-2 Component (a purchase)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/extending/components.html
MPEG Streamclip 1.9.2 (free)
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
Then I should be able to watch and edit videos from my new Handycam in QuickTime.
Is this correct?
Or is there something else that I need to be doing?
Thank you!

Here's the page you may be referring to: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A
It lists the specs which are way beyond my computer.
Recommended System Requirements:
* QuickTime 7.6 or later (Pro not required)
* PowerPC G4 (500MHz or faster) or Intel processor
* At least 256MB of RAM
* Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later
I read all of the reviews and there were folks who had the same specs I do that it works for, but the date of their reviews were from a few years ago, so they must have had a previous version of the Component.
It also mentions underneath the system specs about OS 9 and using OS 9's Component, though it doesn't provide a link.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get an older version of the Component? One that will match my specs.
QuickTime Player 7.5.0
Mac iBook 466 MHz PowerPC G3 - A Graphite Clamshell (vintage and I love it!)
576 MB SDRAM
Mac OS X 10.3.9
Sony DCR-SX40 4GB Handycam Camcorder
Thanks!

Did I buy the wrong HDTV?

Hello,
Did I buy the wrong HTDV for my Mac mini media center?
My 2009 Mac mini is connected to a Panasonic 32" 720p HDTV via HDMI.
(I'm using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter)
Several issues have arisen:
1) black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I watch Netflix "watch instantly" movies on it.
2) The menubar of my Mac computer screen is not visible (image chopped off on all four sides).
3) The Mac mini cannot connect to the Internet via Airport when it's attached to the HDTV! (ethernet connection is A-OK)
I've tried playing around with the settings for both the Mac Mini (which recognizes the Panasonic) and the various menu options on the TV but no success.
Maybe I should have broke down and bought a 1080p instead?
Any help would be much-o appreciated!
Mike

I guess I am just concerned as there seems to be so many networks (routers) around here, there is always 7 or 8 connections available on the list of avail networks and I am just concerned about that one machine connecting to the wrong router when it is booted up ....
when I was using the wrt54g, and it always showed "Excellent" and the others always showed poor to very poor (1 or 2 bars) ,,,,,,,
but now with the new router always showing just one or two bars as well on that one machine .... I worry that it may connect to the wrong thing sometime. This wouldn't be such a worry for me IF there were simply an option to set "Connect to this network ONLY" on the nic,
but there isn't, just a "Connect to preffered network IF in range" ..........
Not that it matters here is the whole reason I have these machines and routers on a network is because I am severely disabled with M.S. and getting up and down steps to all my familys machines isn't so easy, and that one machine about 75 feet from me is impossible. So I have them all networked thru the router, and I use a remote control program (called Radmin) to access the various machines from this one laptop.
I am starting to wonder if the fact that nothing will work when this router is on 20mhz bandwith at all, is indicative of some sort of problem with the router itself? That is funny as the wrt54g was 20mhz only I beleive, and it worked perfectly!

Did I buy the wrong wireless NIC card?

Hello all .... I have a small home network consisting of 3 laptops and 2 desktops ... They were all connected via a WRT54G router with the one desktop farthest away using a wmp11 wireless NIC ..... this particular desktop is approx 75 - 100 ft away from the router ... so far there's been no problems, but that one machine always showed EXCELLENT signal strength (when you'd over the cursor over the little wireless icon in the systray) ....
For some unexplained reason (cause I'm dumb) I decided to purchase a new router, I got the Linksys WRT160N ..... well the machine with the wmp11 wouldn't even boot up any more, let alone communicate with the router. So I ordered a new wireless NIC for it, a wmp600N...which I installed and now at least that machine boots! The machine does connect to my network, and appears to run on the internet fine, however my question is now whenever you check that machines wireless status, it always says signal strengt is "Poor" or "Very Poor". I see now (I don't know why I didn't notice it before) that there is yet another wireless NIC for that router, and am now wondering if I bought the wrong nic card. I'm just wondering why my signal went from always showing EXCELLENT to now showing POOR all the time.
When I first ordered this router off the Linksys site, I remember distinctly specify "RANGE" as one of my requirements, yet when I received it from Linksys the box was clearly marked it was NOT for range.... so I am sorta confused.

I guess I am just concerned as there seems to be so many networks (routers) around here, there is always 7 or 8 connections available on the list of avail networks and I am just concerned about that one machine connecting to the wrong router when it is booted up ....

How Can I choose Iphone 5s models that work with LTE in Brazil. The Iphone needs to Support Band 7. If I buy the wrong model can apple change it ?

I am planning to buy an Iphone 5s in October, but I have to make sure that the model will work with the LTE services we have in Brazil. I know that Apple made 2 Models that support Band 7. See Below.
Model A1457*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20)
Model A1530*: UMTS/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20); TD-LTE (Bands 38, 39, 40)
How can I make sure I will buy the correct model through the internet ? Can Apple change the Iphone In case they send the model that does not support LTE services in Brazil ?
Thanks,

Have you personally tried those models with Brazilian LTE networks? Do they work? If so, fine. If not, then besides that, there is the problem of the warranty which is not international. The user will have to return the phone back to the country of purchase for both warranty and out of warranty service. So what might seem cheaper at first glance might not be in the end.
Anyways, it your money and the OP's should he want to go ahead with your recommendation.

IBooks and Buying the Wrong Language Book

Hi all,
I guess this is just a question of if I have a leg to stand on and if I should even bother trying to pursue reimbursement/trade-off.
I bought a book from the iBooks store. I searched for it, and was happy to see that it was there. I clicked on the purchase box (that lists its price), it turned into a download box and I downloaded the book. Huzzah, I thought, except when I went to read said book, it was in Italian. If I had clicked through to the book description page itself, I would have read that this offering of the book was in Italian, yet the UI doesn't ask me to click through, it just allows me to buy.
This will certainly end up looking like more whining than anything, but it doesn't make sense to me. My language settings are correct, my location settings are correct, the book was originally written in English. I feel like this would be akin to me buying an mp3 and finding out it was a dub in another language. Yes, the lyrics are the same, but the content is all wrong. My brief searching brought up an "all sales are final approach", which sort of bums me out because I have had great success on my iPod/iPad purchases.
Any insight or thoughts are greatly appreciated.

I got my ibook in Finnish language when I ekspected it in English. Sent apple a question, but never got an answer.

How can I get my money back after buying the wrong book?

I bought a book where the language was wrong, Danish instead of Norwegian. So how can I get my refund the purchase?

Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for a refund.

Questions before i buy the E6

Hi there!
I am looking for a QWERTY phone to replace my old Nokia E5-00. i suppose the natural successor to the phone is the E6 but i have some reservations on the phone and issues i would like to ask/discuss here:
1. Notification Light
I have heard that when it lights it is almost impossible and very difficult to see as it is apparently a design flaw. is Nokia aware of this or has it done something about it?
2. Email & SNS Notifications
Again based on what i read there is no "central" or unified source of email & SNS notifications and updates. to check your eamil you have to go to a separate app. to check your facebook or Twitter feeds you have to do the same thing. is this true?
3. Camera
Why only fixed focus? and why no buolt-in image stabilisation or auto-sharpness? is there an update available to actually make the camera as auto-focus? or to make pictures actually clearer or sharper?
4. Battery Life
I had the E5 for more than a year and it has so far the most amazing battery life of ANY phone i had. i heard the E6's battery life sucks and isn't as good as expected. is Nokia aware of this? i thought you guys make phones that have an excellent battery life?
I think so far this are the worse culprits even apparently after the Symbian Belle update.
This has started to put me off.
can someone convince me that 1. Nokia is aware of these problems and 2. that an update is avaialble or is being developed to counteract these problems and 3. that i should buy this phone (rather than a Blackberry phone)
Thanks.

typothecary
There is no problem re-assigning hardware buttons. I have actually sms insted of email just as you want.
I my opinion Belle is by far superior to Anna regarding speed and stability, especially the email client and multitasking is almost perfect now.
Furthermore, connecticity over 3G and WLAN is excellent and audio sound also.
Handling voice calls is handled with brilliance..In short, indeed Nokia E6 is a very compentent business phone cause it is relieable and fast enough. Never restarts and no more full memory ever...Symbian has matured finally with Belle at least for E6. Nokia 701 is even better but for less buck...
Mentioniing the widget (adjusting screen icons and so on) problems I have found my solution in the meanwhile when Nokia w0rking this out. I just leave some screen shots (perhaps some other people can get their own ideas how to manage their screens).
My E6 feels well structured and I am happy with it. I just wish another E6 would be released with 2,9 inch screen and and almost the same size overall. Would be nice for better web-browsing experience...
Btw, I use font magnifier on 135% font size and use Opera Mobile for better experience in webbrowsing and clarity and less impact on my eyes due to the problem of high resolution.
E6 is excellent for the right people but I prefer overall the Nokia 701 Belle actually but then there is no qwerty (but other stuff though)
Nokia 808 again (delight Belle), Nokia E7 and X7 ( again, all on Delight Belle...after some time on Nokia Lumia 925 (retired), 1020 (not that great)and Lumia 820 (Replaced my router at home, great for internet sharing).., N9 The best device ever (use it as much as Lumia 1020), Nokia 700 (Sport Phone/My Love :-) ) Nokia 701, Nokia E6 (Should have a follow-up from Nokia among with larger screen, NFC, Autofocus), Lumia 800 (Retired After 6 weeks), -Sports Tracker-Nokia Internet Radio-Handy Safe-Skype-Bambuser-Screenshot app pro-fMobi-ComingNext-Manual TaskSwitcher-jagiTimer-Easy StopWatch-Boldbeast-Equalizer-Financial Calculator-WiMP Music-YTasks-Davi-Thumbnail Folders-BizCalendar-Tiny7-Situations-nn reeder-Sport Timer-CameraLover-CameraPro-GrabRadio-LiveScore-Poddi-Gravity-SkyFilesPro

A few questions before I buy the 13" air.

I need to buy a laptop within the next week so I have a few questions about the air.
Does the 13inch i5 version support hyperthreading to 4 cores and turbo boost?
Is the difference in performance between the i5 and i7 worth it?
Would the air be good enough to use word/PowerPoint with a lot of tabs open in chrome with no lag? (School laptop)
Am I better off getting a 13inch BBP? Or is the air the same performance wise? (I don't need the DVD drive or ethernet)

All the intel chips have the turbo boost. No MacBook Airs have quad core chips. They are only duo core. You need the pro book for the quad cores. As a school laptop the air is great because of the SSD. It opens quickly after moving while studying here and there. You can buy a pro book then eventually put a SSD in it if that is what you are looking for. But because apple makes all of their parts and software, you do not need as big of a cpu as you would need on a PC.
