Why don't Apple sell 2gb modules for MBP?

I'm confused, I tried to purchase a 2gb module from Apple this morning and they tell me they are not available, and they don't know why?
any ideas anyone?
I think I need a :
Form SO-DIMM (200-pin) Speed PC2-5300 - DDR2-667
Crucial are showing them, just wondering if there are any issues I should know about?

Actually the MBP does come with a dual-channel memory bandwidth if the SODIMMs are matched. This is one issue I for one will have to eat my words on!
It's specified in the Intel documentation for the 945PM chipset that's used in the MBP as well as in this Apple document…
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303553
However, as you mention, the primary benefit of this is a much improved GPU performance for those systems with the GMA950 such as the MacBook and Mac mini where the imapct is between 6% and 9%.
Given Apple give this such a low priority, shown by how little it's mentioned for the MBP, the benefit probably isn't great. Let's facce it, there's only so much memory intensive operations you can do within 2GB without the bottlenecks of the processor or hard drive bandwidths getting in the way.

why is my apple ID only good for purchase here in the philippines?

Sales are restricted by country presumably because of licensing restrictions. In most cases those will be imposed by the distributors of the items. If a company has not worked out the license to sell a song in your country, or has simply decided not to bother, or in rare cases is prohibited by the government of a country, then Apple cannot sell it to you.

Why don't Apple support Skype?

Why don't Apple support Skype like they supports twitter and soon Facebook

Because Skype support Skype, they wrote/own it not Apple.
If you are having problems with Skype on your iPod Touch look on thier support forums to see if there's a fix or someone who can help you there.
If your question is why you can't use FaceTime to contact a Skype contact you can't but, have you searched the App Store for Skype and downloaded the App, it works like a dream.

Why don't apple invent an iPad Note with a pen?

Why don't apple invent an iPad Note with a pen like Samsung Note? we really new one from apple design specially students.

I do not understand? You can readily use a stylus with an iPad now (I do) and there are many note taking apps that allow free form handwriting and drawing, (TopNotes, Notebook+, Notes Plus to name just three I am familiar with). There are also several apps that do handwriting recognition and convert your printed or written words to text (I have WritePad for that, works very well).
What is that you think is lacking with an iPad now?

Why don't I see an option for lightroom?

Why don't I see an option for lightroom? I have downloaded creative cloud and have photoshop option, but I don't see LR, which I expected to install.
Thanks!

Hi Peggyh,
If you're a paying Creative Cloud member, you may not see Lightroom in the Creative Cloud if your computer doesn't meet the minimum system requirements. Check to make sure that your system meets the http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/system-requirements-lightroom.html
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html may also work.
Let me know if it helps.
Thanks!

Why is the Apple Weather App wrong for low temps in Albuquerque, NM? Low temp is always displays about 10 degrees too low.

Why is the Apple Weather App wrong for low temps in Albuquerque, NM?
Low temp is always displays about 10 degrees too low.

The reason for the problematic weather prediction in Apple is simple and disturbing at the same time.
1. Traditionally Apple gets its weather data from Yahoo! they do so regardless to the fact that Yahoo is not a weather company, this arrangement has historical reasons (and it has nothing to do with the accuracy or quality of service you as a user are getting from Apple weather).
2. Yahoo! (not a weather company) gets its weather data from the Weather Channel.
3. Weather Channel CEO (David Kenny) also serves as Yahoo board member. So good luck changing the Weather Channel Yahoo agreement.
4. The iPhone build in weather app is one of the world most popular apps, The Weather Channel has no incentive to make the Apple weather app as accurate as The Weather Channel own app.
The result is – easy to use inaccurate weather app

Apple Trusted Platform Module in MBP?

Hi,
I just wonder is there any use of this "Apple Trusted Platform Module" in MBP (CD, 17") showed in windows XP and vista?
If we will use the bitlocker in vista, we need to config this option in BIOS (PC) but Mac has no where to config?
I tried to search the support in apple web, but no words can be found.
Thank you all

Hi:
According to the quickspecs link below, it does not have a TPM.
http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx%2Fc03944068.pdf
If you want a notebook with a TPM you need a minimum of the HP Probook 600 G1 series.
If you want AMD, and a 15.6" screen then the HP 655 G1 would be the one you want.

Why don't apple have 4 weekly appointments on their calendar

Why doesn't Apple have 4 weekly repeats in their calendar?

Why don't Apple open an Apple Store in Myanmar!

Apple is missing lots of fans. I want to know why don't open a Store in Myanmar.

We are not Apple. We are users, just like you. Apple doesn't read every complaint on these forums. They probably read hardly any of them. All I can say is that they cannot open a store everywhere, but they are still building new stores. Maybe you will have an Apple Store near you in a few years.

Why don't apple give iTunes song download for free, at least few of the song

Apple don't give free iTunes song download or bluetooth sharing. I am also an iPhone user and don't have a option to share my songs photos etc to others who are not using iPhone. I prefer free iTunes song download.

Why should they give you things for free? How many other stores do you walk into that give you things for free? Apple has to pay the artists and record companies for those songs, so Apple therefore has to charge you for them, just as in the case with any store. Apple does in some countries offer a free "song of the week". Look to the bottom of the iTunes Store for the "free on iTunes" button.
As to sharing songs with others, that's illegal, just as it would be if you made a copy of a CD and gave it away. There are third-party apps in the iTunes Store that do allow some limited sharing of files such as photos via Bluetooth with other iPhones, so you might do a search of the iTunes Store for "bluetooth" and see what comes up. If you want to share with others not using iPhones, you'll need to look to some other service such as Dropbox, Flickr, etc.
Regards.

Given the size and of the iPad Mini Wider is better. Why don't Apple design the next iPhone to be a bit wider?

After using one of the competition's wide screen phone, I found myself using it more then my iPhone. Though it wasn't as good of a user experience as my iPhone, the wider viewing display grabbed my attention. Viewing video content on their wider phones, sadly is much better in my opinion. The reason, the content that display at an 16x9 ratio. Wider is the way to go, truth to this is found in Reviews regarding the new iPad mini. The iPad mini has been said to have a perfect size screen when viewing content and playing Multitouch games. It has a better screen resolution as compared to it competitor. The iPad 3 and 4 have gorgeous Retina displays. Why not have a wider iPhone that's both thin and wider so we can enjoy our digital media we've purchased from Apple to have that same comfort level we get from the iPad? Having a display to be available at a resolution that's at a 16x9 Ratio is better regarding content. I love the iPhone, we need to finally go wider on the iPhone. Content viewing is being effected by the screen size on such a magnificent device. If Apple posted up a vote regarding their content displayed on their iOS devices, I'm sure people would agree that the resolution found on the iPad and iPad mini are much superior when viewing Apple's video content then from what you get from both the iPhone and iPod Touch. Not because they are smaller, it's the width of the screen then the mire size. Apple's video content is around about an 16x9 ratio as like most if not all of the content found on iTunes and the Apps store. I've found myself wanting an iPad mini as a substitute to my iphone. Wider viewing is best for Apple's video content, working documents and game play. I would surely be happier with a wider screen phone then to travel with both devices to be able to enjoy my media.

I don't know why you wasted your time and bothered to post this in a user to user technical forum.
