Upgraded to 8GB RAM getting weird errors...

I recently purchased some new RAM to upgrade to 8GB on my T500. I am now having issues with certain features on my machine. For instance I cannot use Windows Update, nor can I watch any shows on Netflix. When I run the ThinkVantage hardware test I get 'Internal Errors' for all tests except the windows memory test which passes. I also get no errors when I use the Windows Memory Test program. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've already had to RMA/Return the original 8 GB ram chips I bought the first time through due to incompatibility.
Solved!

Well, I re-installed my previous RAM and ran the various Lenovo Tests on it; the results show that they passed. Here's the Report that was generated compared to the 2x4GB arrangement:

What's peculiar is that the Windows Update issue persists regardless of which RAM installed. Any thoughts on what can/could be the culprit or how to remedy it?

After upgrading to 8gb ram, getting single beep on restart.

I have looked through several forums to get a few hints...
One of the 4gb sticks works at any given time, in either bank.
Tried resetting PRAM to no avail.
Tried reseating and overcharging the fan and got three beeps.
Put the boot architecture into 64 bit mode.
Tried resetting the PRAM.
I've seen posts that seem to alude to the fact that this is just an inherent flaw with the Mac Mini.
I am using a mid 2010, running Lion. Please help if there is any way to get all the RAM running!
Thanks!

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

Is is possible to install Win 2007 in MacPro (retina display) with USB (2.0 or 3.0) as new Mac retina display lacks DVD.

To save space on the computer, Apple has decided to solder the memory onto the logic board on the MacBook Pro with Retina display and the MacBook Air, and that's why you can't add more memory after buying the Mac. This only applies to these computers, not for the other ones

Your 14 days are up, however you could take your case to Apple Inc. regarding same,
however those are the stipulations.
RAM cannot be upgraded however, period, its permanent on the logic board after mfg.
As for the SSD (solid state drive), upgrading same is a bad premise 9 times out of 10.
No notebooks is a mass storage device, and you need an external HD for data redundancy and backups regardless.
data that is static on your SSD and not used very often has no logical reason to be ON the notebooks, and best saved on a superslim external HD ($60)
SSD are very expensive, even a small one, HD are cheap as dirt and users are recommended to have one regardless for many good reasons.

Upgrading to 8gb ram on macbook pro

Hi,
I have a 13inch macbook pro from mid 2010. It currently runs on 4gb ram but recently, i've been running a lot of programs and was thinking about upgrading to 8gb ram. Will upgrading the ram to 8gb make the macbook pro heat up a lot? Other than heating up, is there any problems upgrading the ram to 8gb?
Thanks,

No noticable heat increase issues. More Ram is always better.

RAM upgrade - Why am I getting this error?

Hello,
I've recently bought a pair of two 4GB ram memory sticks for my late 2009 Macbook Pro. I used to have only 2GB and wanted to upgrade to 8GB. I got Corsair DDR3 1067Mhz sticks, which are the exact ones for my MBP model
I followed the steps that came in my instructions manual and did everything I was supposed to. However I've been getting an error sometimes telling me to restart my Macbook. I've tried replacing the sticks, think that I might have placed them wrong or something like that.
Since them my Macbook Pro has been working but I just got the exact same error again, telling me to restart my MBP. Before I upgrade the RAM everything was working just fine.
Here's what the error I get looks like:

Can anyone help me or tell me what is going on?
I really appreciate the help! Thanks in advance.

Here's what I got a few months ago for trying a Corsair RAM. I switched back to my original Crucial. Gave the Corsair another try and I had the same message below for the second time. You might want to try Crucial brand.

Upgraded to 8GB RAM - Windows 7 64-Bit Not Using All of It

I just upgraded my 3.02GHz MacbookPro to 8GB RAM and in both Mac and Windows (64-Bit) it acknowledges that I have 8GB installed. However in Windows 7's task manager it shows:
Total Physical Memory 8167MB
Cached 4500MB
Available 4557MB
Free 91MB
and it shows I'm only using 3.51GB....Why only 91MB free? In Adobe Illustrator I am getting not enough RAM errors so it seems like Windows 7 is tapping out at the old 4GB ceiling. Anyone know if this is a setting that is easily modified so I can use all 8GB?
Thanks!

mine too same time as well

Just upgraded to 8Gb RAM...Now what?

Hi everybody,
I just upgraded my MBP to 8Gb of RAM. The plug-ins i use that can benefit from that are EXS24, Kontakt4 and Omnisphere. I don't see any OS level tool that can confirm me where the RAM is used(No Spectrasonics or N-I app showing up in Activity Monitor). I want to stay on 32-bit as most of my other plug-ins are not 64-bit ready yet.
When i went to the EXS24 virtual memory prefs, it was already set up to use the memory outside of Logic. Do i have to do anything else like untick the pref and reenable it after? In Logic or mainStage, when i enable the Omnisphere server mode, the CPU goes up to the roof. Anybody seeing this behaviour?
Feeling a bit futile to ask all that when you see what's going on in Japan right now, but if anybody has some cues or info links about going 8Gb RAM, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. If i understand well, if i want to stay with Logic 32-bit, i'll have to choose in the EXS24 pref if it's Kontakt and Omnisphere that get the other 4 Gb and EXS24 lives inside Logic boundaries or the opposite?

HP Photosmart D110a wont print from HP Pav dv7 laptop, getting weird error msg - can anyone help??

Im running on a Windows Visa Home Premium OS, looks like Service Pack 2, and have not made any system changes to my laptop or upgraded anything recently.
Was able to print fine from my laptop on Monday, but 3 days later Im getting this error message: ""the job failed to print due to an error in the printing system" when trying to print a standard MS Word doc.
I can still get the printer to print fine by using the control panel on the unit itself and requesting to "Run a Wireless Network Test" and also when I've requested a "Print Status Report", "Print Quality Report", etc. But when sending files from the laptop it refuses to work.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know - desperate to get this thing back up online but unfortunately Im a tech idiot and havent been able to solve it yet, though Ive searched for hours now it seems.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer!

HT1529 Upgrade to 8GB RAM & an SSD OR purchase New MacBook Pro?

I am looking at upgrading my older mid-2009 2,53 Mhz MacBook Pro to 8GB RAM PLUS a 240GB SSD for around $380. Is it worth doing this or biting the bullet and purchasing a new MBP...lots more expensive. I am not a professional graphics or photographer but have PS6 and LR5 installed and only 4GB RAM....very, very slow. I like doing photo editing etc. Any advice is very much appreciated. Thanks

First I suggest that you go through this comprehensive trouble shooting document and see if you can optimize the performance of your MBP as is is currently configured. The monetary outlay will be zero.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3521
If you look at the Crucial web site, you should be able to install 8GB RAM and a 240 GB SSD for $282.
http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=MacBook Pro (15-inch%2C Mid 2009)&Cat=RAM
Personally, I would install the RAM first and see if that makes a meaningful difference. Install the SSD only as a last resort. I have an antipathy towards SSDs based mainly on cost. Others have different opinions.
Also update your OS to 10.6.8.
Do not be seduced by quad core CPUs. They will perform faster only if the application is designed to take advantage of all cores. Most applications are not (at least the older ones).
Ciao.
