Upgrading to 2 GB RAM, will this work/better options?

Right now I have a 1 gb of RAM in my Intel Core Duo 2 ghz macbook. I was looking at a pair of 1 gb memory cards to put in my macbook to upgrade it and I have several options.
https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/5300DDR21024/
This is one of them, and I could purchase two of these and use them, and it seems to be the best price option.
I was also looking at Crucial which is more expensive but it comes in a pair. (look at the crucial website)
What should I do?

I meant the RAM you linked to as being from OWC as being different from the Crucial RAM from Crucial.com. Sorry if I confused you. 39 dollars for a Gig is good.

Full version pshop CS (8), upgraded to CS4. Recieved the free upgrade to CS5... will this work?

Hi,
Appologies if this seems like a stupid enquiry. I'll keep it quick and simple.
I had been running a full version of photoshop CS (aka photoshop version 8). I just bought the upgrade to CS4 and also (to answer other questions on this forum) I just received the free upgrade to CS5 from Adobe. Not having an intel Mac yet I plan to sit on my CS5 upgrade till I have the machine to run it. My question to anyone who knows/has done this, can I install my CS5 upgrade given that my original full copy of photoshop was version CS (ie. more than 3 versions back)...?
I have seen this discussion:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2734196#2734196
but it still leaves me unsure (would Tai Lao be able to install CS5 if he wanted too I wonder...???).
Before anyone asks I have asked Adobe via the customer support portal and they said that I 'could install CS5 upgrade from CS4 upgrade' (which still doesn't answer the question, does my having CS stop me upgrading to CS5 due to the "3 version back upgrade policy"...?
Thanks for the help!
Matt

Matt,
Focus for a second please:
All Adobe upgrades are FULL INSTALLERS. If the upgrade does not find a previous version installed, it will simply ask you for the old serial number as well. That's all.
You now have a valid CS4 serial number. When you install CS5, the installer will look for a previously installed version. If you have installed CS4, it will proceed automatically to install CS5. If you did not install CS4, just use its serial number when prompted. (NOTE: This is based on the assumption that CS was indeed a qualifying version to upgrade to CS4. I don't remember what the requirements were back then.)
I have Photoshop 7.0.1, 8 (CS), 9.0.2 (CS2), 10.1 (CS3) and 11.0.1 (CS4) installed on my machine. All those are upgrades from my original full version 4 of Photoshop from many, many years ago. I can run all of them on my machine, even simultaneously If I wanted to, by launching the older version(s) first. In practice, I have run two versions simultaneously without any problems.
Just have your CS4 serial number handy.
Now, be advised that an awful lot of users are having nightmarish difficulties with the CS5 installer. If you run into trouble, don't blame it on the serial number, just blame the extraordinarily incompetent members of the pathetic installer team. That's a team outside of the Photoshop engineering team that has proven a disgraceful embarrassment to Adobe engineers and executives. A senior program manager has even admitted in private correspondence that he can't write in public what he would like to do to the members of the installer team.

Of course I could, if I wanted to and had an Intel machine. However, I have rejected Leopard and Snow Leopard, and I will stay with CS4 and Tiger 10.0.4.11 for the foreseeable future, which means for the remainder of my life expectancy, as I can't afford a new machine.

Matt, the "3 version back upgrade policy" simply means that you have to have a valid serial number for one of the three versions, and you do have a valid number for CS4, which in turn was based on your valid number for CS.
Stop tormenting yourself.

Switch to 2X Xeon 5680 6-core, Will this work?

Hello
My current set up of a 8 core 2.26 Xeon mac pro (Early 2009) has been giving me insufficient power for what i need to do. I am not willing to pay for the apple upgrade to only 2.93 for an 8 core, so I am considering upgrading to two six core 3.33 GHz Xeon X5680's, or two six core 2.93 GHz Xeon X5670's. (I chose those because i'm guessing two i7 980 processors won't fit on a Xeon board). Totalling 12 cores.
The question comes down to, will this work, will the processor fit in the socket? If so, what is involved, what risks are there, what changes would need to be made? Would it work on OS X, or would it only run under windows, etc? Or would it not even work at all?
(And i'd rather not buy a PC with that money.)
Thanks

i upgrade my i cloud memory will it work on my i phone i pad and mac

When you upgrade icloud memory, you are buying more "disk" space on iCloud's servers. This has nothing to do with iPad or Mac memory. Each device will then be able to use that added space on iCloud for backups and storage of compatible files.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 gigs ram, will it work with Mercury playback Engine for accelerate

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 gigs ram, will it work with adobe Mercury playback Engine for accelerated rendering for Premeire Pro cs6?

I am a PC guy but, I have 6 work stations with CS6 but the wife wants a Mac so I am getting her an imac with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2 gigs ram. Do you think this video card in the mac will still be able to utilize the Adobe CS6 MPE?
It's not formally supported by Adobe for GPU acceleration; however judging from the fact that the lesser GTX-650M is (with 6.02 update), and the end-user ability to enable support for unsupported cards in Adobe apps, it should work.

I have recently purchased an i5 27 inch Imac with 8gb ram, will this be enough to run logic studio and record vocals?

I have recently stretched my budget as far as I can and have purchased my first Imac! I am really excited about getting it , its an i5 2.7ghz and i went for the 8gb ram upgrade. My question is will this be enough to run logic studio to produce music and record vocals?
If you have a similar setup please le me know how it runs for you. I would also like to hear about the average number of plugins you can run and any other tip to get the most out of your processor.
Logic Studio will be the only big program running on it, I plan to get a blue icicle converter and a blue condenser microphone for vocal recording so I hope the Imac is up to the task!
Hope to hear from somebody real soon.

You should have no problem at all. That iMac is more than capable of running Logic.

My wife and I have separate Ids but all our music is in one library. How will this work with iCloud?

My wife and I have separate Ids but all our music is in one library. How will this work with iCloud? i'm trying to download past purchases from her id, but itunes is saying that I can't because the computer is associated with my apple id. Can I associate the computer with both ids for the purpose of identifying all of our music with both or just one of our ids? Is there a good way to do this? I'm sure we're not the only people with this problem...

You cannot merge two separate libraries across user accounts. Photos does not have the function of merging different Photos.library files. If you have Aperture then you can merge the two before migrating over to Photos.

there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up. Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests. But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum. there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

OS X lion USB Thumb Drive - will this work on new Mac Mini or MBA (2011)?

Hi All,
Not to be confused with the other similar posts, I am interesting in only clarification of what build comes with the USB Thumb Drive now available on Apple Store - will this work with new MBA and Mac Mini?
Thanks,

From what I have read about the usb installer, it is not intended for you to try booting from the stick after wiping your hard drive. You are to click on the installer
You may be correct, but this statement is quite confusing in that context:
Important Note
When you install OS X Lion using the USB thumb drive, you will not be able to reinstall OS X Lion from Lion Recovery. You will need to use the USB thumb drive to reinstall OS X Lion.
So, if the Thumb drive is supposed to take the part of the Recovery partition, it seems that it should be able to boot. However, the license agreement still requires an Apple computer running Snow Leopard, so maybe it isn't bootable.

Will this work to determine the system byte order?

I need to be able to determine, preferably without relying on conditional disable symbols, whether the system on which a VI is run uses big-endian byte order. What I came up with was to flatten a U32 containing 0xDDCCBBAA to string using the unknown system byte order, and unflatten using a big-endian byte order. If the pre- and post-flattening U32's are equal, the system must be use big-endian byte order. Two questions:
1. Will this work? It recognizes, correctly, that my PC does not use big-endian byte order, but I don't have any big-endian targets to test it out on (see #3).
2. Is there a better way? Perhaps something already built into LabVIEW?
3. Would somebody with a big-endian target verify that my VI detects it as big-endian?
Thanks,
Mark Moss

You can simplify your VI a little. Since you know what the result of the string flattening should be in big endian, just compare the string.

Mac Mini, Sonology NAS, And Apple AirPort wireless router, Will this work?

[IMG]http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL256/13533814/24272354/405877013.jpg[/IMG]
OK, so my plan is to create a home movie server for the living room and the kitchen as illustrated in the diagram. I Plan on using a mac mini (current generation) as the liaison between the NAS and the receiver. I will install XMBC on the mac mini’s as a movie organizing software. I will use the iPad app to control and select movies from the system. This setup will repeat in the kitchen with the exception that I will connect the mac mini directly to the television in which the audio out will go to a jack which connects to the in ceiling speakers. Will this work? Are there any other suggestions that anyone has to make it more streamline? I also assume that there can be simultaneous movies being watched in both rooms via the NAS. Thanks for all of your comments and help

in theory, yes, but you work network admin may have locked the network preventing this from working

HT4623 I have purchased a Epson Workforce 435, can't AirPrint, will this work with the first gen iPad?

I have purchased a Epson Workforce 435, can't AirPrint, will this work with the first gen iPad?

Also i forgot to add after a night of searching how to turn the Epson Workforce 435 printer into Airprint friendly and not iPrint (which are 2 completely different things) i donwloaded a program called (AirPrint Activator) from HandyPrint. The link is below to download the software. Once i installed the application i set my printer to be shared over my Home Network (Wi-Fi Network). Once you have done that, open the AirPrint Activator application you have just downloaded, swtich it ON from OFF mode, and then you should easily see your printer name in my case EPSON Workforce 435 and then just close the application. Then go to your IOS Device like your iphone/ipad/ipod touch select a picture that you want to test print or even an attached PDF from your email, and select Print in the share button. You will then be prompted to select your printer. Your printer you automatically be recongised then just select print. And now you have a complete AirPrint ready printer with a Printer that doesnt even support the function. Im sure you can do this to all Wireless Printers, even if they came out before Apple AirPrint service launch.
And also if you still need guidance and a video to follow from just click the Youtube link below

I have downloaded trial for Windows English version, but can't open the Captivate_8_LS21.7z file. I have 32-bit. Will this work or shoudl I redownload?

I have downloaded trial for Windows English version 1.45GB.
It has downloaded but I can't open the Captivate_8_LS21.7z file.
I have 32-bit. Will this work ?

Hi There,
In order to download / install Captivate 8 32 bit, you have to download 2 files ( .7z and .exe ) at same location/ folder.
Once both files downloaded completely then you have to run .exe file and it will extract .7z file first and then it will initialize the installer. You do not have to open .7z file.
Let me provide you the download links of Captivate 8 32 bit :-
Open the link mention below in any Web Browser say Internet Explorer
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=captivate
Sign in with your Adobe id and Password, then you will be redirected to download Web Page of Captivate 8.
Do not click on Download. Kindly let that window open as it is.
Now Copy and paste the link mention below in the new tab/window of the same Web Browser in which you have opened the above link.
http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/8/win32/Captivate_8_LS21.7z
Then Save the file.
Do the same for the link mention below and save this .exe file as well.
http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/8/win32/Captivate_8_LS21.exe
Make sure both the files (.7z and .exe) save/download at the same location/folder.
NOTE: Wait for both the files to finish download and then run the .exe file.
Once you run the .exe, it will start extracting the .7z file and will provide Captivate 8 folder on your desktop which will contain setup.exe. Run this setup.exe to install Captivate 8.
Regards,
Ajit
