T42 not recognizing additional RAM

I had to reformat my hard drive and in process of updating drivers. THe monitor image is very slow and I believe it may be due to the T42 not recognizing the additional RAM I had put in. Is there a way to download a driver for this RAM so it is recognized or another solution? Thanks in advance.

Hi and thanks. The screen is very slow meaning when in internet explorer and scrolling down a web page it sort of almost blurs. I initially though it was RAM but I was mistaken that on this particular T42 i didn't add any but just have the 500mb it came with. But I beleive something is causing the viewing to be slow. I just reformatted the computer so there is no programs running other than what is normal with XP installation. I played with the Display and brought down to 16bits 768 and it still slow on scrolling down any webpages.
The exact model is t42 - 2373 - h12.
I apologize for misdiagnosing but perhaps you might still know what the problem is? Thanks again.

Second internal HD, additional RAM & proper settings for them

Hi guy!
I want to thank you in advance for reading my questions and answering it. It may be long.
Today, I've received my memory upgrade 4GB (2X2) from OWC. And my 2nd hard drive Seagate Baracuda 500GB 7200.
I read all my the instructions and installed all memory and HD myself, all seams to be working, my system shows RAM and HD. However, there are some questions I have unresolved, I called tech support they couldn't tell me more than just "call the HD manufacture and ask them"
1st. After I've installed HD and started the computer, the window came and said that I need to initialize the HD. I clicked "initilialize" it took me to disk ut. I erased HD and gave it a name "Mac HD2" Now, it is showing me that I only have 465.64 GB of space available. It shows that only 108MB is used. Where is the rest? I know that it won't show the whole 500GB, but it ate up 35GB, itsn't that too much? So, my question about this is: Should I be doing something else with this HD? Should I be calling the company that sold HD and have them replce it? Or is it ok to hav such a loss?
2nd. What is the best way to place my folders & files on both HDs. I was thinking to take my Documents/Movies/Music/Pictures folders and just place them on HD2 and keep HD1 for applications only. Is this right?
3rd. My HD1 is 160GB (148.9 as per info.) My Documents/Movies/Music/Pictures folders are about 55Gb my application folder is 8 GB I should have about 86GB left (if we take 148-55-8) I only have 67. What am I missing? The user folder (yuriyork) is 60GB. I'm totally confused with where the space is.
With this said, I'm back to the 2nd question what files/folders I should move to HD2? I just want to do it right to try and up the computer performance.
4th. When I do move files/folders to HD2 should I just open HD1 and HD2 in finder and simply drug and drop folders from one window to another? I think it's not right way of doing it. I think I need to somehow specify to the system that Documents/Movies/Music/Pictures folders are now located on HD2
5th. With increase RAM, should I do any setting on OSX to tell it that there is lots of RAM and that it can use it as much as it wants? Like for example, I know that in Virtual PC I can set up the amount of RAM it uses. So, with that I thought that I may need to specify something like that in some other settings, if so than where?
I hope I didn't confuse you all with some much stuff. To hopefully simplify this, I'm going to put the JPG file on the web for you guy to see what folder are what size and may be give me an idea what is the best way to do it.
Here is the photo:
Again, thank you for taking your time to answer my questions, you guys have always been very helpful.
Thanks to all!!!

#1: The primary reason for the discrepancy is numbering convention. To hard drive manufacturers, a kilobyte is 1,000 bytes, a megabyte is 1,000,000 bytes, and a gigabyte is exactly 1 billion bytes, so 500GB is 500,000,000,000 bytes. Computers, using the binary system, don't use 1,000 to represent a kilobyte; instead they use 1,024.
Therefore, when you divide 500,000,000,000 by 1,024 (KB), again by 1,024 (MB), and again by 1,024 (GB), you'll get 465.66 GB, which is almost exactly what you're seeing.
#2: When I installed a second hard drive in my G5, I moved my Music, Pictures, and Movies folders to this drive. Then, I just had to point iTunes and iPhoto to the new directories. The sidebar links still take me to the original folders on the original drive, but that could likely be fixed if I replace the folders with an alias or symbolic link that pointed to the new location.
#3: Try downloading an app such as Omni DiskSweeper to help locate where all the space has gone to. It'll give you a breakdown by each folder and subfolder on the drive.
#4: As I stated in #2, an alias or symbolic link should work if you want the sidebar links to continue to function after moving the folders. Otherwise, just direct iTunes and iPhoto to the new locations.
#5: OS X manages memory on its own for each application. There's no longer the need to allocate RAM to each app like there was in the pre-OSX days.
When installing additional RAM, it's often recommended to reset the NVRAM to ensure that the computer recognizes all of it properly. To do this, reboot the computer while holding down the Command, Option, O, & F keys. This will boot you into open firmware. At the prompt, type the following (and press return after each one, of course):
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
The computer should reboot after the final command.

Installing additional RAM into hp s5150t

I have a quad core s5150. I recently tried to add two additional RAM modules. I verified that I had purchased the correct RAM on curcial.com and by speaking with their reps. The computer would not take the RAM in any configuration. We tried seating the new RAM into the old modules one at a time and it still would not work. At last, the crucial rep told me to try and update the BIOS. Hard as I tried, for three hours, I was unable to find the BIOS update on the HP website despite looking where the HP video told me to look. There were lots of update options but no BIOS heading. The auto detect tool could not identify my computer for some reason. The HP Update tool installed with the machine said no updates were available.
I am wondering a few things, 1) Where can I find the BIOS update on the HP site? It is not in the list of updates on this page, where it is supposed to be:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4002...
2. Is it possible there is a problem or conflict beacuse the machine shipped with Windows Vista and I updated it to Windows 7? Looking in the BIOS, the last update was May of 2009, long befoe Windows 7 was updated from the old VISTA files.
3. Any other reason you might know for the modules to not be working? We exchagned them for a fresh set already and still the same problem. They are clicking into place. Not sure what to try.

Thanks for your support, Jaco. I appreciate your input.

Do I need additional RAM?

Hello to all,
Though I am not presently facing any trouble while editing, yet I am feeling discomfortable seeing the free space remaining on my 8 GB RAM which sometimes drops to less than 500 GB when I have just my internet and FCPX on. Do I have to go in for additional RAM?
Any guidance in this matter is most welcome.
DR.SOMANNA

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
If everything works to your satisfaction you don't need it.
You may want it, but that's a different matter.
If you decide to get some, buy it from Crucial or Kingston, who provide the highest quality at the lowest prices . . . . just a fraction of the cost of getting it from Apple . . . . . and by "a fraction", I mean a quarter!

More detail and a reply for the CQ50 - 130US will not boot with 8gb ram post

The specs, on the web site say that the max memory supported is 3GB DDR2 because the notebook was built with the OS Vista(32 bit) installed so that’s why the manual has the 3 GB max. memory supported limit. The 32 bit OS can’t address memory over 3.12 GB. To my mind that is not a spec. but rather a tech. writer who made a mistake and copied the sales literature. With Windows 7(64 bit) Pro. installed the OS can address up to192GB of memory if the system supports it. Other Compaq and HP Notebooks can deal with 8GB of memory installed. That’s why I would think HP’s could easily fix this with a patch or use one of their other BIOS’s.
The difference between 4GB and 6GB is that with 6GB system runs faster and the display quality has improved. I have set the cache size to large and the executive paging is set to off in the registry. The menu(System Properties - Performance Options – Advanced – Virtual Memory) is set to automatically manage the paging file size.

You should keep it in the original; thread you started.

ISA 7.0 - Advanced search not picking up additional attributes

Hello Folks,
We are in the process of implemting ISA 7.0 (SP 16) aka E-Commerce for ERP - B2B senario. We have defined additional attributes (using the BADI during replication) for ISA 7.0 These can now be seen in the product details on ISA. However adding the bigSearch (below) or the advanceSearch (below) to the property file crmisaisacore~resources_en.properties does not display the additional searchable attributes. Anybody know what else I need to do ? Does this require modification/enhancement on the ISA Java side ?

It is not unusual for me to have a half dozen + copies of a single image. I am not creating these additional images which appear spontaneously myself so system must be causing them. I have Elements 12 and operating system Windows 7.

I have Elements 12 and operating system Windows 7. It is not unusual for me to have a half dozen + copies of a single image. I am not creating these additional images myself, so must be the system. Deleting (including from the hard drive) does not help. Can anyone help please?

1- The only way for picture files to be automatically added to the catalog is to allow the 'watch folders' option in the file menu and not choosing to have the organizer warn you of any addition. If those files are already in the catalog they should be ignored, only new files should be added.
2- Otherwise, there is a downloader option to ignore duplicates when you import from camera or card reader to avoid importing several times from the same card.
The Organizer considers files are duplicate when they have the same 'date taken' and size in Kb.

Additional RAM needed

Trying to load new software, both of which tell me I need 1-2 GB of RAM. Where do I determine how much RAM I have, and can I simply buy and upload additional RAM to this model?
Thanks.

Hi
+"Where do I determine how much RAM I have?"+
Apple Menu > About this Mac.
+"can I simply buy and upload additional RAM to this model?"+
Yes. You buy RAM and physically install it. Depending on the model you may be able to do this yourself with an appropriate screwdriver or pay/get an authorised Apple Technician (or someone else who is capable of doing it) to do it for you. There's no upload involved.

How can I make extra storage on my phone when I have deleted any all data, pictures and files that I couldn't store in a dropbox and not have purchase additional storage?

how can I make extra storage on my phone when I have deleted any all data, pictures and files that I couldn't store in a dropbox and not have purchase additional storage?

Purchasing additional storage only applies to iCloud, not to the phone itself. You cannot purchase additional storage for the phone, only purchase a larger capacity phone. If you have deleted all of the content that you can, then that is all of the space that you have. What is it exactly that you are trying to do? Does this have to do with space for performing an OTA update of the iOS?

HT3918 Can I leave the installed 4gb (2 X 2gb) of ram in my iMac and add 8 gb (2 X 4gb) of additional ram to the available (empty) slots?

Can I leave the installed 4gb (2 X 2gb) of ram in my iMac and add 8 gb (2 X 4gb) of additional ram to the available (empty) slots? I will ultimately swap the remaining 2 X 2gb out for 2 x 4gb. If so, does this affect how the ram is used/accessed (i.e. will the original ram be limiting because it is in the installed location rather than in the other previously open slots?) Thanks.

That's exactly the RAM arrangement I've been running with for the last couple of years with no issues.
2x2gb on one shelf and 2x4gb on the second.

Buying additional RAM

I want to buy additional RAM for a brand new iMac.
1. Is there anything in particular I should be looking for when buying more RAM? Do I just get anything that says "1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM "? Is there a particular brand, etc.?
2. What is considered the going price for (2x8GB) for the new iMac?
Thanks.

1. Is there any advantage to the Crucial brand vs. OWC?
2. I want to buy the new iMac with the least amount of RAM possible 2x4GB, try it out, and add more RAM as needed. Is there a way to measure when I could benefit from the additional RAM? Some way to measure how much is being used while having Photoshop, Premiere, etc. running?
Thanks.

Hp Dvd-Ram Gh80n not recognizing blu-ray dvds

I am running windows 7 home premium. My Hp Dvd-Ram Gh80n does not recognize any blu-ray dvds -these are store bought. I have tried several different dvds, & was able to play them on different devices (IE: ps3, laptop, dvd player). Device manager shows no issues or updates avail. auto play is checked, tried a read disc from command prompt-get a device not ready & status no media for list volume. If i put in a NON blu-ray I get the dvd info with healthy status.
This question was solved.

I think the reason it will not read a blu-rays is because it is not a Blu-ray drive. Here are the specs:
