What RAM do I need and where can I get it from?

Hi all,
I know this is probably a simple question, but I just want to make sure I don't mess up my computer! I have an old school DV iMac, and bought the Mac OS X upgrade not too long after it came out (which is rather a while ago now!), but couldn't install it became I don't have enough RAM. And I obviously have just put it off and off. Now I'm at uni, and want the computer to work as well as it can for my mum, because she's even worse than me when it comes to computers. So, anyway, I need RAM. What type do I need and where can I get it from fairly cheaply? And how much would you recommend I get? My friend says he knows how to put it in, so all okay there hopefully/
My computer's details:
Processor info: PowerPC G3
Machine speed: 400MHz
OS: 9.2.2
Built-in memory: 64MB
I remember being able to get more details than this from somewhere on the computer, but I can't remember where...I haven't used it for 6 months or something, and am obviously getting forgetful.
Hope someone can help. If you need to know anything else, tell me where to get the info from and I will tell you!
Cheers,
Fran
DV iMac Mac OS 9.2.x It's lime green...ooh...

Hi,
I just bought some RAM from Crucial.
If you go to www.crucial.com/uk and follow the Crucial Memory Advisor Tool, you should be able to find the RAM for your Mac.
1 GB sticks are pretty good value at the moment (they've even gone down a few pounds since I bought mine a week ago) and if you enter this code (found it on aonther thread here) you might get a couple of pounds knocked off the total: CUSTOMPC
There's also places like Kingston & Cancom to try, as well as Misco.co.uk. But Crucial select the recommended RAM for your Mac.
Also, when you think you've found the right RAM and want to buy it, try the Apple agent chat, and double-check with them.
Hope this is useful.

What os do i need and where can i get it?

I bought some old IMAC computers that has been wiped clean of OS and I am wondering what OS i need and where i can buy one. It think it might be a G3 but these are the info on the pc
LNE/05/20
MODEL;PPCIMAC.LPS NUM 215252
SERIAL NUM:PT91634MG3H.

wallytiger, welcome to Apple Discussions from a fellow Texan
Based on the serial number, you have an iMac G3 (Tray Loading, Rev D) 333MHz as described in this link: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac_333.html
Is this your first Mac?
The iMac originally came with 32MB RAM (& can be increased to 128MB max) and OS 8.6. In theory (if you max out RAM) in can operate on OSs up to 10.3. I would recommend that you install OS 9.x.
To install OS 9.x you will need a retail version of the OS 9 installer (CD with white background & orange 9). Look on eBay or you can join LEM-Swap for buying & selling Mac stuff. http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap
After you join, post a WTB (want to buy).

I have iPhoto2,just loaded OSX 10.5.8. What iPhoto do I need and where can I find it?

I have iPhoto 2 and just loaded OSX 10.5.8. What iPhoto do I need and where can I find it?

iLife11 is SnowLeo 10.6.x (and therfore Intel only). Version 09 would be the last ppc 10.5.x compatible.
I for sure remember to have loaded the full ilife 06 suite on Leopard back then , it ran fine.
So you could look for any version from ilife 06 to ilife 09 to be on a safe side, they work all on Intel and PPC and also all on 10.5.x .
Of course the newer the version, the more features ( but the more power is needed ).

Hi Mark,
You need to Update to OS X 10.6.8 = Snow Leopard so you can Update iTunes to Sync your iPhone.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

OSS note 506603 What is it And where can I get it?

Hello,
I am trying to create my form with a SAP Table wizard connection, when I try to use the Table wizard I got the error: "No such interface supported". I can see in a lot of comments the solution is on OSS note 506603. I was trying to find this patch in the sdn site but I could not find it. I am not sure if it is a document, an exe file, a dll,,, and when I see the same question asking where to get the OSS note 506603 there is no answer, could somebody help me telling me what is this and where can I get the patch? I would really appreciate it.
Many thanks.

Hi Eden,
How are you doing ?
OSS note is the older nomenclature for what is now SAP Notes.
They are available at :
http://service.sap.com/notes
you will need a service marketplace user id to log on.
alternatively, if you do not have access to service.marketplace.
send me an email [view my business card], i will reply with the patch. it is a few hundred kb.
with respect,
amit
the note number 506603 :-
Summary
Symptom
Additional information for SAP.Net Connector that was not included in the guide.
Other terms
SAP .NET Connector, Proxy Wizard
Solution
SAP.NET Connector Version 1.0 has been available since Nov 21, 2002. You can download the software from http://service.sap.com/connectors.
Version 2.0 is also available. Use only the new version for new developments.
Report any problems with the SAP.NET Connector under the components:
BC-MID-CON-DNW for problems with the .NET Proxy Wizard for Visual Studio.NET.
BC-MID-CON-DNC for problems with Communication Runtime.
Known problems
1. The Proxy Wizard terminates with the error message "Exception caught in method createFunction for DD_GET_UCLEN Reason: null".
This is caused by a missing function module, which can be installed as described in Note 580834.
2. Corrections for SAP.NET Connector 1.0
The updated version corrects various problems that have been noted during the interim period. You can download it from http://service.sap.com/connectors. To install this version, see the "Release Notes" file. For SAP.NET Connect 1.x, the newest patch-version is called "1.0.3".
3. Corrections for SAP.NET Connector 2.0
For Visual Studio Integration (Design Time) following problems have occurred:
For proxies with several functions, the following runtime error can occur under certain circumstances: "Method xyz can not be reflected." The cause is a combination of an error in the .NET framework and the way in which the proxy generator uses XML-attributes.
The SAP wizard table does not work. Existing tables are not recognized.
Both problems are solved by the patch attached to this note. Stop all instances of Visual Studio and unpack the ZIP file into the "%Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003/Common7/IDE" directory, whereby the "SAP.Connector.Design.DLL" file is replaced.

What is Recovery HD and where can I get it?

What is Recovery HD and where can I get it? Disk utility says my hard drive is corrupt and needs to be repaired using Recovery HD. I downloaded Lion and do not have a CD from which to restart. Please help. My computer barely functions. This just began today, although it has been slower than usual for a few weeks. I removed lots of old Aperture Libraries with no benefit - even worse now.

The Recovery HD is in lieu of a machine-specific Mac OS X install disk that you received in the past with versions that predate Lion. With Lion and Mountain Lion you no longer buy a DVD of the Mac OS X nor do you get an install disi with a machine that has the system pre-installed. The Recovery HD is a means to resinstall/restore the operating system, only. None of the peripheral software or data you have have accumulated. For that you still need a backup of the hard drive.
Likewise you cannot write to the Recovery HD...doesn't even show up in Disk Utility and will not show up on the desktop if you have your hard drive(s) and partitions display on the desktop.
It will show up if you restart and hold the Opt key, and you can boot from it that way or the Command+R key way that is most often recommended.

What version of imovie will run on Lion and where can I get it?

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3.183.23 or later, is for Intel Macs only running Tiger or Leopard, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.4.402.265 or later is for Snow Leopard onwards.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC (G4 or G5) Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, try the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the version 11.5.502.55:)
Download this http://scriptogr.am/nordkril/post/adobe-flash-11.5-for-powerpc to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

If you have failed to make sure that any apps purchased on the iphone were transferred to your computer before updating, then you will have to redownload.
Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.
