The Great RAM Switch

Is it possible to move the RAM from my old PowerMac Pre-G3 to my B/W?

PowerMac Pre-G3 ...
uses a completely different type of RAM that, unfortunately uses the same connector. But it will not work in a Blue & White.
Some users have experienced problems with OWC RAM, and several senior poster here refuse to do business with them again.
I use this vendor, get good results, and have no financial ties to them. They are very forthcoming and helpful with their information:

The great leap forward

Hi i have always wanted a mac. the ilife software and osx look great. i have some questions before i switch.
does the integrated video card affect imovie experience
does imovie enable chroma key and picture in a picure
because the shared video ram is shared does that mean the more ram i have the better video quality
if i plan to do schoolwork edit imovies surf the web and maybe install vista do i need 2gb ram
thanks

it is not affect the iMovie
iMovie doesn't have that effect plug ins but you could buy iSlick from Gee Three (Volume 4) that allowed you create chromakey clip on iMovie.
now apple lock the memory at 64 mb, the more is better for system performance but not much to nothing for intel graphic memory since it already took those 64. On intel sites it could be max to 224 mb, just hope apple and or intel be kind enough to release the patch to max it (with warning that this should be used with macBook that has atleast 1 Gb installed)
1 Gb look good enough, but better jump to 2 x 1 Gb, so you don't waste the 2 x 512 mb from that you previously upgrade before.

Is there a way to stop the OS from switching to a newly opened app? I would like to be able to continue what I'm doing while I wait for an app to launch and not get interrupted by a forced entry into the app.

Is there a way to stop the OS from switching to a newly opened app? I would like to be able to continue what I'm doing while I wait for an app to launch and not get interrupted by a forced entry into the app.
As an example, I'm going to my email in safari, while I wait for it to load, I open an excel document, and the OS decides excel should be the front app, so I go back to safari so I can enter my login info, but halfway through my password the OS decides that excel is where I should finish typing my password.
VERY ANNOYING. Can I open apps in the background?

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. J D, I'm not a terminal fan, but I'm sure it works. I found a solution that I can use in the dock from another post.

Works great and allows me to maximize those multitasking minutes.

What is the purpose of the Serial / Normal switch on the SUP-NS3S lens support.

What is the purpose of the Serial / Normal switch on the SUP-NS3S lens support.

Hello Dkaer,
The SUP-NS3S lens support is a very specific product and handled a bit differently than our consumer [and even professional] level equipment. Meaning, we will need to consult with our broadcast lens engineers to provide a complete answer. Once they respond back to us, the response will be posted either back to this forum thread, or relayed via email directly to you.
Thank you for your patience on this matter. We hope you have a great day.

Can't Zap the P-RAM , Can't start from an installer disk with the C-Key...

Can't Zap the P-RAM , Can't start from an installer disk with the C-Key... or The D-Key for Apple Hardware test or run with the shift Key in Safe Mode!!!
About a week ago I started to have problems with the Mac after 10.5.6! First the Mac after shut down would restart on its own in 10 to 15 minutes. I read in various forums about some of the 10.5.6 problems. I did a clean reinstall where the Mac created a previous system folder. After this suddenly mail, I-Chat as well as some other programs would open, then close immediately! Since I did not have things backed up because I didn't have a large drive, I dragged my files and apps to another drive and reformatted the drive zeroing out all data and did a fresh new install then brought in the combo 10.5.6 update.The Mac is running correctly but I can't Zap the P-Ram, startup from the Mac OS X installer Dvd with the C key or run Apple Hardware Test with the D key or boot in safe mode with the shift key. I can boot any of the Bootable disks from the start-up Disk in Preferences.
I went over this with Apple and they suggested I run the Apple Hardware test. It won't run on this machine because I can't boot it with the D- Key. I ran tech Tools and every single thing checks out OK! This Mac has worked great since I got it in I believe Feb or March of 2007.

Make sure that you don't have firmware password protection enabled. It will prevent some boot key shortcuts from working, like clearing NVRAM, etc. You can disable firmware password protection by booting off the OSX DVD and loading the utility.

Can a power mac g5 run on the same ram as a mac pro?

I have a Power Mac G5 and want to buy some new rame and i was wondering if it ran off the same ram from a Mac Pro, Specifically 1 RX8-PC3-8500E-7-10-DO ram type.

OWC is a great source for Mac RAM:

The great xmonad.hs thread

For several reasons, I wanted to start the great xmonad.hs thread.
Idea is simple: just post the xmonad.hs file you're using, and/or discuss yours/someone else's.
To start off, this is my (small) xmonad.hs file:
[cpf@galactica .xmonad]% cat xmonad.hs
-- module Main where
import XMonad
import XMonad.Config.Xfce
-- import XMonad.Config.Gnome
import qualified Data.Map as M
main = xmonad $ xfceConfig
terminal = "urxvt",
modMask = mod4Mask,
keys = \c -> myKeys c `M.union` keys xfceConfig c
myKeys (XConfig {modMask = modm}) = M.fromList $
[ ((modm, xK_p), spawn "hayaku"),
((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_p), spawn "xfrun4"),
((modm .|. shiftMask, xK_q), spawn "xfce4-session-logout")

I am unable to switch off Passcode on my ipad3. The button for switch off Passcode is greyed out.

I am unable to switch off Passcode on my ipad3. The button for switch off Passcode is greyed out.

Hello again,
I have managed to disable the Passcode.
I checked and I removed a profile that was linked to a business app.
I think it must have been security policy through business app that didn't work anyway.
Thank you very much for taking the time to attempt to resolve my issue.
Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Display color profile bug when using the fast account switch from a guest account to an admin account (and vice versa)

Hey,
I'm sometimes using a guest account on my MBP (unibody late 2008 2,4 GHz Core2Duo, 4GB DDR3 running OSX 10.9.4 on an OCZ 128GB SSD) for a more distraction-free working space and I noticed right away a disturbing bug:
Using the fast account switch (upper right hand corner of the screen) in Mavericks from an admin account to log into a guest account (or vice versa) produces, after the fancy rotating cube animation, some strange distortion of the desktop background happens (lasting approx. 2 sec.). After that the color profile of the display is changed into an usable but ugly one, which is disturbing while working with pictures. When checking the color profile in the pref pane, the standard "display" profile is said to be active (it's the one I use) but still the colors aren't the same. Selecting another profile and re-selcting the desired one doesn't fix the problem. Switching back to the other account with the fast switching leaves the colors altered. Logging out and deleting the guest account seems to the problem for the remaining admin account. Rebooting and logging in to either of the accounts (admin or guest) from the standard account selecting page at booting shows the normal color profile.
Is it a general bug or is their anything a can do to prevent this problem (other than never using the fast switching)?
Thanks for your advice.

I cannot agree more with your comments! What a way to frustrate your customers!
I have been having an issue with iCloud on Mac where it kept asking me for my password and sometimes would, sometimes would not continue to access my iCloud mail. Today it just refused to connect to iCloud mail.
I looked in the Mail, Contacts and Calendars in my MacBook Pro settings and discovered that 2 iCloud accounts were present. One with my original Apple ID (a gmail address) and a second with my new iCloud email ( an @me.com address). Having deleted the second account, using the new @me.com address everything is working fine.
So from my viewpoint when I moved over to iCloud I was asked to sign in with my Apple ID (the gmail address) then to create an @me.com address. However, as far as I can see all sign ins to the new @me.com account on Macbook, iPhone and iPad need to be done through the old Apple ID (the gmail address). Is that confusing and just plain crazy???
Further, after creating the new @me.com address I soon found out that this is apparently now forever bound to my old Apple ID and cannot be changed. I mean why can't I delete the iCloud account and start anew with a different @me.com address??? Also, as everybody using iCloud must create an @me.com address why on earth can I not get rid of my old gmail address and have my entire Apple ID accessed through the new @me.com address? Creating a whole new Apple ID will not solve this as we are unable to transfer purchases between accounts.
Apple products are great IMHO, but they do seem to not think things through in a very big way sometimes......

I am considering a base 21" iMac ($1099 @ Best Buy) for home use. It would be my first Mac. Is the base model powerful enough for everyday home use and some light video editing or should I upgrade the CPU, Ram and to a Fusion drive?

Purchasing with the upgrades through Apple would add about $800 over the Black Friday deal at Best Buy. Just looking for some advice if I will be satisfied with the based model.

All models will do what you want. Upgraded models will do it faster than the standard models.
Just why are you thinking of switching to a Mac?

I want to buy the new iPod Nano to play audiobooks. Does it remember the postion where switch-off took place and resume from there? Can one rewind and replay freely?

I want to buy the new iPod Nano to play audiobooks. Does it remember the postion where switch-off took place and resume from there? Can one rewind and replay freely?

1. Many thanks! I look forward to your revert on being able to freely rewind and replay with the 7th Gen iPod Nano.
2. Re resuming from the position where one left off - I meant after switch-off and not merely pause. Often, with audiobooks, I have to stop for the day, and resume maybe after 1-2 days. I'll be grateful if you can check this too
3. The above features make the iPod Classic a joy to use, but I have reservations about using it on walks because of its HDD.
4. Greatly appreciate the trouble you are taking. Best regards.

Where do i find the second ram slot on a t43 thinkpad

i believe ram might be my issue causing my t43 to freeze moving the mouse pointer with the track pointer helps get things working i bought a new 1gb ram and installed it in the ram port since then i have been able to run sluggish applications more smoothly but after a while of using these applications up to an hour the t43 freezes using the track point put some life back in to the machine (enough to close the application) when i dont have anything running except the internet it runs fine i believe the t43 has some sort of second ram slot since in the system it now shows as 1.5gb of ram and not 1gb
should the t43 have a second ram slot how easy is it to get at i don't want to accidentally break something

Welcome to the forum!
The second RAM slot is under the keyboard. Check the HMM for removal instructions:

When I click on a link in an email, the comoputer locks p and the screen goes black, requiring a shut down from the on-off switch. My version of Firefox is up-to-date.

The on-off switch is the only way I can turn off the computer, because the screen is black. Then I turn on the computer again to reboot, and when I click on Firefox again it takes from 30 to 90 seconds before Firefox opens, at which point I get a message asking if I want to begin a new session. Then I open emails and don't click on any links. If I check my email using Internet Explorer, the problem does not occur. Your help would be appreciated. After 50 years of operating comoputers, I have never seen this problem. Regards----Lloyd Schultz

Fred...thanks, but this is not about one site. The same thing happens often, with many sites, when i click a link that has come up in Google search, or on Twitter or Facebook or within a story I'm reading. The link takes me to the url of what it was supposed to take me too, then within a second or so it switches to that Yahoo 'error handler' url, a page that offers search for similar sites.
Again, thank you.

When I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off. i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up. when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it

when I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off.
i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.
when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it to factory settings. It also said while restoring ypu will lose all media data but you can restore the contacts.
I restored the factory settings....the phone was on recovery mode...it was verified by itunes and all that..but in the end it again said that iphone has some problem and can not function right now.
after that when ever i connect it with itunes, it gives the message, it can not activate the iphone further, try again later or contact customer service.
What to do now?????? Customer service people say..it is hardware problem

If it's a hardware problem, then the phone will need to be replaced.
There is no magic that can fix a hardware problem.

Hello
Im wondering that you want to upgrade to 8GB RAM... Normally 3 or 4GB should be more as enough for all applicaions at the moment.
Anyway, as Jayjay said its not possible to upgrade to 8GB. A friend of me has a Satellite A300 and the user manual says that it can upgrade to 4GB or 2GB (depending on the chipset). So if you have a PM965/GM965/RS690M chipset you can upgrade it to 4GB. Otherwise you can only use up to 2GB.
I have upgraded my Toshiba notebook with Kingston RAM. This is high quality RAM and has a good compatibility. I never had problems with such modules.
Check this!!
Bye
