Why is 24GB or RAM so much more then 12GB ?

I understand that it is double the size but man is it way more expensive.
It seems like anyone here that has built a core i7 has gone the 12GB route but im sure would like to max out the motherboard at 24GB
You hear people say that RAM is cheap but not 24GB.
Need 2 sets of these to make 24GB.

Just curious: Glenn

DDR3 has taken quite some time to get produced in 2 GB sticks and they were initially much more expensive than DDR2 sticks. Now that the i7 has gained a firm foothold one sees the price of 2 GB DDR3 sticks dropping rapidly, but where people were coming from 4 GB machines or even less, 12 GB memory seemed more than enough for the future, so there was hardly any demand for the latest sticks in 4 G sizes. For video editors and the upcoming 64 bit CS5 applications, one may see some more interest in 4 GB sticks, more manufacturers to enter that specific market and dropping prices as a consequence of increased competition in that smallish market, but I think it will be only by next year that the sizable premium on 4 G sticks will diminish somewhat. As always, being at the leading edge of technology carries a hefty price-tag.
Now with TESLA around the corner and the C2070 co-processor which carries 6 GB of its own memory, and is not an SLI solution (which is initially not supported in CS5, according to Dennis), support for this co-processor may alleviate the memory requirements for more than 12 GB.
Price erosion only happens when more manufactures get into the game and demand rises, leading to more competition. Just remember what happened with the prices of DVD or BRD players, plasma or LCD flat screens, etc. So, give it some time...

Why is iOs 8 using so much more battery life on my 5c??

Ever since updating to iOs 8 with the supposed bug fixes, my 5c uses MUCH more battery life and I am NOT on it during the day at work except to make 4 -5 short phone calls!!! I hate it!! Wish I'd never updated. I have decreased screen brightness, turned off notifications for practically everything, and usually only play a little Solitaire and check FB for about 15 - 20 min. each evening. Also, FB isn't working at all since I've updated. I can open it and see old stuff but no new posts to FB. Come on, Apple!! This isn't what we wanted. Believe me, lesson learned. I won't update ever again to a new Os. This is ridiculous. I loved my 5c and it was working fabulously with great battery life!! I only bought my first iPhone 6 months ago and WAS in love with it UNTIL NOW!! Does anyone have any suggestions???

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
Have you tried ALL the troubleshooting steps? If you have and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible exchange.
There is no supported way to downgrade the iOS.

Why is apple ram so much more expensive than normal ram

for 2 gb of apple ram for the dual 2.7 is about $300, this ram doesn't even have its own heatsink and is only CL3. why is ram with a heatsink and CL2( which is faster) about 200 $$ cheaper? is there any difference in the ram or is apple trying to make a big profit ?

I found out that there is nothing special about the
ram.. and the corsair ram is a lot faster and better
So, is the Corsair ram you are talking about that which TigerDirect.com has advertised over at dealmac.com today. The after rebate price for a 1Gb stick of 4200 is about $45. Not too bad if it would work in a Quad.

Why is "Other" taking up so much more of my iPhone now as shown in iTunes?

Recently I've been getting messages saying my phone or iPad couldn't be backed up because there's not enough space and more importantly I can't update apps because I apparently don't have enough space. I enable iCloud backup for my iPhone recently since I was having syning issues with iTunes, my iPhone and iPad (my iPad was being backed up over iCloud). I've deleted a lot of photos, videos and less used apps on my phone -- I'm talking a couple gigs worth -- and every time I delete more content on my phone the more "other" grows as show in iTunes (13.89 GB currently--this was never more than 1 or 2 a most prior). The iPad is still at about 1 GB for Other.

Late follow-up:
Multiple Apple Store appointments in multiple locations after months and months, and I was given a new phone. They told me to not restore from a backup and would have to manually bring everything over to avoid whatever malicious bug caused the problem.
Many things were suggested. One was that maybe while updating a certain app, some important bit of code got corrupted due to a bad or inconsistent network connection, i.e. updating over an awful data signal. I live in Montana and I'm also traveling all sorts of place with little to no service. Thanks Obama! ; )
Hope this info helps someone else at least....

Why is it not possible to attach more then one photo on email

i tried to send several photos with the email app but there is no way...
did I miss something?
it works with gmail app but not with the Ipad.
regards

You can do it in the mail app - one at a time.
Tap and hold down in the body of the email and a bar pops up that let's you select Insert Photo or Video. Select the photo from the next window. Hit return on the keyboard and repeat the process. Tap and hold down until the Insert Photo or Video bar comes up again.
You can select multiple photos within the mail app.

Why are Macbooks so much more expensive in NZ compared to US?

Hi,
Just wondering why the apple products are so much more expensive in NZ than in US. I am looking at getting a new macbook pro 17" and saw it is NZ$4149, and US$2500. So I used the exchange rates to convert US$2500 to NZ$. It came to approx $3000. So why are they making us pay another $1000 in NZ??

Economies of scale most likely.
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Economies_of_scale
Your question should be looked at in the opposite "Why are US citizens getting a discount?"
If you compare the two economies and what people tend to buy perhaps that would shed some light.
Perhaps the "Apple halo effect" doesn't reach OZ?

Why are Windows 'APP's so much harder to code than a Windows Forms application?

For example I have been smashing my head against a wall trying to save an image file from a share target, the best help I can find is the below code:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/65a61679-0da8-4109-8a69-b918be351dfa/how-to-save-a-bitmap-image-from-a-share-target?forum=winappswithcsharp&prof=required
But in a 'normal' application I can do what I need to do with:
using System;
using System.Drawing;
namespace Project1
class Class1
static void Main()
Image photo = Image.FromFile("C:\\Temp\\oldphoto.png");
photo.Save("C:\\Temp\\newphoto.png");
Why do the APPs take so much more code to do something like save a file to disk?

It is a good question!
If you need 100 lines of code to save an image it is like a Java program:
- complicated
- not fun to develop with
I think the main problem is that Microsoft release 2 new libraries each year. On the most cases, if you try to compile it with an old library it works, but the app crashes with unexpected errors. It is always harder to develop for Windows and there
are always more libraries to use.
So it begun to be normal, to find a W8-store-app-library and use it in Silverlight, to add missing functionality.
It is a jungle and it seems that Microsoft too doesn't know anymore what library should be in the msdn-help. Some times, if you search for something, you finish on a library that can't be added to your project.
This is the reason, because your question will probably never be answered!

Ordering more then 2 ipads2 at the same address?

Hi guys.
Is it possibile? or I have to use another address to order the thrid ipad2?
Also how does apple detect whether im buying more then 2 ipads? by debit card? or by shipping address?
Please guys don't give an answer unless you are 100% sure. Because I don't want my money to be HELD by my credit card company for 30days if apple cancels the order:S

typo to*
Can you elaborate "2 per transaction"?
Do you mean different orders? because I still don't get why would apple doesn't allow ordering more then 2 ipads in 1 order but you can order another 2 ipads when creating a new order?
Also does apple usually deduct the ipad2 funds once the order placed? because it seems mine didn't

Why is the iphone5 so much more expensive in Canada than in the US??

With the Canadian dollar near parity, why is the cost of the new iPhone5 so much more in Canada???

It's not.
Announced US pricing is for a subsidized device on 2yr contract.
All other pricing that I have seen for iPhones in other country's is for non-subsidized devices.

Why is apple Australia so much MORE expensive than America!?

Hi Since updating to ios 7.04 i have noticed the phone consumes so much more power. I have to charge the phone twice sometimes 3 times a day. WHY?

Hi,
Thanks! I forgot to add, I have debonded and rebonded the bluetooth in car and phone and have carried out 3 restores on the phone in my ITunes. All to no avail. I have also jsut spent £40 on a lead from Ford that has made no difference too! I went to them today to request a software upgrade on my car as I though perhaps the lack of connectivity in the car was down to the car being behind the iOS5 software but was informed there was no need for an upgrade and this problem is purely an apple problem! Is there any way around the downgrade? Or are apple gong to resolve this problem at all??

All I want is all my contacts on my phone and the same on my iMac, but no, that's too much to ask, instead I get everything doubled up on the phone and everything doubled up (triple in some cases) on the iMac, why does it do this? and more importantly how can I stop it? Thanks

Look under system preferences on the mac at what is be controlled? Look at Mail, Contacts, Calendars. How many accounts are managing contacts? Just the cloud? the cloud and gmail? or cloud, gmail, yahoo, and exchange? If you have more than one contact account, then you will have different contact lists, if John Smith shows up in more than one of your contact lists, you will have multiple entries.
Pick a contact list that is your master, (I use iCloud), only turn on contact syncing for it. The same for your phone. Spend some time on the iCloud webset (www.icloud.com) and work on your contact list there. Clean it up, remove duplicates, etc...Changes will auto sync back to all your devices. Life gets much simplier.
Just remember, if you sync different contacts lists and a large number of people appear in your different lists, then they will appear as duplicates.

Why are TV shows (like Supernatural) so much more expensive to download (SD or HD) than sites like Amazon?

Why are TV shows (like Supernatural) so much more expensive to download (SD or HD) than sites like Amazon?

They aren't really that much cheaper on Amazon. For Supernatural season 7, each single episode in HD is $2.99, same as iTunes. If you buy the whole season on Amazon, it's $2.84 per episode. Maybe $2 cheaper to buy on Amazon.
Remember though, on Amazon, you can't sync the videos onto an iPad/iPod/iPhone or Apple TV. In iTunes you can.
I prefer to buy on iTunes simply for the convenience, iTunes makes all the differance.

I have Adobe Creative Cloud, I thought FormsCentral was supposed to be apart of that. Why do I need to pay so much more?

I have Adobe Creative Cloud, I thought FormsCentral was supposed to be apart of that. Why do I need to pay so much more to add FormsCentral. Is there something in the Creative Cloud that will work the same way?

Hi maybeamy,
Please see Is FormsCentral part of the Creative Cloud?
You can create unlimited offline forms with the desktop application that's included with Acrobat XI as part of Creative Cloud. If you want to track responses, or create more than one web form, you'd need a FormsCentral subscription.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,

24GB/1066MHz RAM installed, but 800MHz are visible only, why?

I have 24GB/1066MHz RAM installed, but 800MHz are visible only on my Mac Pro mid 2010, why?

That is a great question...
... for the vendor who sold you that RAM.
It has probably clocked-down because too many modules of incompatible types were installed.

Why is 24GB or RAM so much more then 12GB ?
