Which slot do I take the ram out and put the new in?

I have a 24" iMac 2.33GHz with 2 gigs of ram. On my imac I can only put a total of 3 gigs. So Currently I have (2) 1GB modules each in both ram slots on my imac. So that means I have to remove pone of the 1GB chips and put in the new 2GB module I bought from crucial. So after shutting down the computer, unplugging everything, and setting it on a table, my question is:
WHICH 1GB ram do I remove? The left(looking at the front of the imac), or the right (looking at the front)?
I will be installing it in later tonight so ANY help is greatly appreciated.

It does not matter which module comes out, however I would suggest that you remove the frontmost module simply to make it easier to remember which module has been replaced.
Actually, you will have to take one more step before you replace your ram module.
Take the cover off before you replace the module. It will go a LOT smoother!
Just kidding. You pretty much have it down pat.
Seriously, just remember to ground yourself before touching the ram module and do NOT touch the contacts on the module.
Hope this helps

My Macbook will not boot the operating system. It just goes to a blue screen after the apple logo and the spinning wheel goes off. I took the battery out and held the on/off button for five seconds and reset the PRAM. I have the old mac os disk.

My macbook will not boot. It goes to a blue screen after the logo and wheel goes off. I have taken the battery out and held the on/off button for five seconds and reset the PRAM. I have the the original os disk but have not put it in for fear of losing un backed op data.
Thanks

You won't lose any data unless you erase your hard drive.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c"key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it.When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've selected the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.

I need an ethernet cable connection to a non-wireless device that isn't near my current airport express. Can I buy an extra one to plug in near the non wireless device to receive the wireless data and put the signal out in ethernet form?

Yes, you can.
This is a special feature of the AirPort Express 802.11n. You will have to set it up "manually" to "enable Ethernet clients".
If your "main" AirPort Express is an 802.11n version, it is also possible to setup the second Express to "extend a wireless network" to provide additional wireless coverage in addtion to enabling the Ethernet port.
If you need the steps, post back to let us know what operating system you are using on the Mac or PC that will be used for the setup of the new AirPort Express.

My ipod fell in the bath tub i shook the water out and put it in rice a few days and it will only works when on the charger and when i take it off the screeen goes black

my ipod touch fell into the bath tub a few days ago, i shook out the water and put it in rice, but the screen on it is really very cracked and im afraid it might have really ruined it, it turns on but only when on the dock and as soon as i take it off the dock it turn off the whole screen goes black

Dry it in rice longer. Then try restoring to factory settings/new iPod. If still problem
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for a 64 GB 4G iPod and $99 for the other 4G iPods. They do not fix yours.

My i phone will not turn on should i or can i take the battery out and put it back in and if so how do i do this ?

My i phone will not turn on this am after I had made a phone call. I have tried to recharge it but no change. I need to know whether or not I can remove battery and if so how do I open the case ?

Just read the solution from raymze so thank you this has worked - I held the home and sleep button together and it has rebooted. Many Thanks.

Took the battery out and put it back in, now I can't get the phone on!

We were told that it was good for the phone if the battery were removed and put back in so it can reboot. I did that and I can't get the phone back on! Sometimes (not everytime) I'll get the red light to come on, but still nothing. I tried inseerting another bb battery from a Curve and when the red light came on, I held the 'end call' button and then when it went off I held the green 'make call' button and teh screen displayed a battery with a line through it. That same battery works fine in the curve so I am just confused about what else I should be trying.
Can anyone help me out here???

did you try to insert the pearl-battery and connect it to the wallcharger? maybe the battery is completly empty.
does the screen display something?
If your question was answered, please accept it as a sollution and / or give Kudos ;-)
Use the Search Field first! Maybe the question you want to ask already exists!

My iPods internal speaker isn't working, the sound works with headphones but now without. I've turned it on and off several times and pulled the headphone out and put them back in but nothing seems to work, please help?!

My sound usually works but just yesterday it totally just stopped. The sound is turned on full, the headphones are out, and I've tried turning it off then back on but it didn't help at all. It's an iPod touch 2nd generation, 8G.

Try the following to rule out a software probleM
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPodIf you still have the problem you likely have a problem with the headphone jack in the iPod. They can be replaced. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to identify/determine the cause.

Mifi 5510l pop the battery out and on the white barcode label at the bottom right is a 6 digit code. is that 6 digit only for my device or other devices alike ? what is that 6 digit number called ?

what is that 6 digit number called ?

The photo did not attach but I think I can see on my own devices the 6 digit number you are referring to. Both the 4510L and the 4620L have these 6 digit numbers posted near the IMEI number. I would assume that these are batch numbers from the production process and are not unique for each individual device. 6 digits does not give you very many possible models to work with.
While the origins of that specific number are not certain we can confirm for you that the MAC and the IMEI are much more reliable identification numbers to go from. If the MAC and IMEIs from your coworkers photo do not match the MAC and IMEI of the device in your hand then there is nothing to debate. If they do happen to match well then you may have to dig into the problem a little more.
IMEI's are sprint identification numbers. MAC addresses are hardware identifications used on a network. Although IP Addresses can be dynamically assigned to anyone, a MAC address is always going to be unique and the same for a specific device. These two should be entirely unique for each device according to the stickers on the backs of the jetpacks.

HT1212 i pad is disabled and it says to connect to i tunes. The password was entered incorrectly too many times. I tried to hold the home key and put the USB cord to turn it on. It turns on but still says enter password into IPAD.

When I turn my ipad on it says it is disabled and connect to ITUNES

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost

A response on this subject from another post:
It could be that you have inadvertently imported these CDs into iTunes as part of a compilation. If so, the artists won't show in the artists menu on the iPod.
To check, highlight the tracks on one of the offending artists CDs in iTunes, right click and select "get info". This brings up a multiple song info window, and from there you can check if you have 'yes' in the box marked "part of a compilation".
If you have, select 'no' instead and click 'ok'. Do this with any CD that has this issue. This will alter the info in iTunes, and you should then connect your iPod and synchronize the changes.
The problem arises because the information contained on the Gracenote CD Data Base (where iTunes gets all it's album/artist/track info from), is sometimes incorrect. It can show CDs as compilations when in fact they are not.

I had an earlier post on this subject with a similar problem. I tried what you suggested and it worked indeed. You can select the artists from your Ipod on Itunes and after highlighting the artists/albums affected, click NO on the compilation box and the issue is resolved: the artists appear on the list.
Thank you so much!!!!.

I have a power mac and the hard drive is about to die, i have a new hard drive to install, i know how to remove and put the old in the second space and load the new one, then what...when do reinstall the OS and transfer data from old drive

I have a power mac, the hard drive is struggling, I have a new hard drive ready to install, after I pull the old one and put the new one it's place and place the old one in the next slot ready to transfer data....how do I start this next step. Do I down load OS, and go to utililities...please just a step by step after hard drives in position.

Hi Susan, you must have a Mac Pro, Powermacs cannot run 10.6.x
Anyway, once you Install the new drive, you likely must Format it...

Then Install the OS & on first boot of the new install, after a step or two, avail yourself of Migration Assistant & Migrate everything.

Why dont you take ios 7 and take out a feature so the ipod 4 can have enough space to take it I suggest when you touch your screen and the keyboard appears and make the old way.

We're all users like yourself, if you would like to leave feedback to Apple go to Contact Us at the bottom of this page then go to Feedback and leave your concern. iOS 7 requires 512MB of RAM. Only the iPod 5 has 512MB RAM. The iPod 4 only has 256MB RAM. Hope this helps, Good luck.

I I bought an iphone 4s factory unlocked. Can i set it up with my sim card in canada then take it out and bring the phone to iran without any problems?

A legitimately unlocked iPhone should work with any compatible 3G GSM carrier. The iPhone, however, is considered 'restricted technology, and cannot be legally taken to Iran.

After two minutes of waiting IM getting message: Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server in temporary unavailable. try connecting to iTunes or try later or contat apple.com/support.
