Will 8gb ram newly installed for LP 8, crash a session opened in LP 7

Hi, my LP 8 upgrade is en route, and I want to up my Ram capacity from 4.5 to 8gb to fully take advantage of LP 8's features. I've also read the posts and warnings against having more ram than LP 7 can deal with safely. My question is will I be able to open sessions in LP 7 made in LP 7 that were playing fine with 4.5gb ram, (ultimately as backups post LP 8 install) but in a system that now has 8 gb ram installed ? One never knows if you'd have to go back, and the word is LP 7 after upgrade can still run as usuall.

Here is what I suggest. An SSD is a must. If you want programs to pop open it is the only way. The one thing you do not tell us is your budget. I assume yiou realize that you have specced out at least a $1000 laptop. Maybe $2000. Look at the Probook 640 G1 with discrete Radeon HD 8750 GM graphics 1 gb.
Configure your laptop
Include the SSD option and 8 gigs of RAM or even 16. You will not be disappointed.

8gb ram or 16gb for my CIS courses

I recently got used Mid 2012 13’ Non-Retina MacBook Pro in pristine condition. I have already upgraded the stock HDD to a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD but I am hesitant to upgrade the RAM without some advice from those who have used the same programs I will be using.
My debate is between getting 8GB or 16GB for Adobe CS6 and other programs that will be included in my CIS degree (just starting off). Obviously 16GB would be better but it is also about double the cost. Will 8GB be enough or should I just bite the bullet and spend the cash?
I know I could scour the forums and maybe find an answer related but I’d rather have the question answered first hand from those who have been in the same position as me.
OS X Yosemite Beta
MacBook Pro (Non-Retina 13-inch, Mid 2012)
2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD

What I forgot to mention is that Macs are very selective regarding RAM. Make certain that you install RAM withe proper specifications (204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM) and the best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
Ciao.

HI! MB white 7.1 with 8Gb Ram, to install SSD or Hybride?

Hi everybody,
I have a MB white 7.1 with 8Gb Ram.
My harddrive broke and i need to replace it.
I would like to have 512Gb capacity or more and i don't know what to install inside?
Travelstar from Hitachi seems to be good but i would like to increase performences by using Hybride or SSD drive?
I did some research but seems difficult to have a clear view about what is good or not?
PLEASE do you have any sugestion of model / brand of SSD or Hybride
Price is not issue.
Thanks a lot.
Chris

go with a SSD if money is not an issue - you'll get a good performance boost when going with SSD than Hybrid.
Here are a few good SSD you can use with your Macbook.
Sandisk Extreme - Currently the fastest out there.
Kingston HyperX 3K - Right up there with the Sandisk for speed ( I have this one )
Plextor M3 - Another very fast SSD
Samsung 830 Series - Fast performance and this is the one Apple installs in their Retina Macbook
Crucial M4 - Nice performance but not as fast as the above SSD ( I have this one too )
OCZ Vertex 3 & 4 - Very fast SSD but have issues with some Macbooks.
good luck

B540p Only recognising 8GB RAM (12GB installed)

I've just got my B540p back from lenovo repair, and not it only shows 8GB RAM installed instead of 12GB.
It had the Motherboard replaced under warrenty
it shipped with 12GB, and 12GB is still installed, i've tried each 4GB module individually in each of the 4 slots and they all work fine in each slot, so the ram is not faulty nor are the slots.
The BIOS shows only 8GB, as well as windows.
i really dont want to have to send this back again, i had to send it back last time and i'd only just bought it!
can someone from lenovo please let me know if this is fixable perhaps by BIOS update or something?

okay this is bizarre.
I got the B540p back this week, and first thing I checked was that 12gb was recognised by both BIOS and windows.
it was.
however, after using it for a while, using Linux and clover bootloaders, it seems to have reverted back to 8gb again.
but, if I replace the 3x4GB modules with 1x4GB and 1x8GB, it goes back to 12GB. if I use 2x8GB modules it goes to 16gb.
then I tried just 2x4GB modules in the same bank, and it only sees 4GB.
so it seems that there are 4 SODIMM slots, but I can only use 1 on each side at at time.
there must be some confirm loaded at the factory to make it see 3/4 slots at the same time (quad channel?) but this feature is being reverted back.
for now i'll just have to buy an 8GB SODIMM (I borrowed one for the test) but i'd really like to know what is actually happening and why. clearly the board is not 'faulty'.
for reference, the unit shipped with 3x4GB modules.
also, why is one SODIMM slot white? this one was not populated.

8gb ram worth it for 32bit Vista?

hi-
I have huge files that are painfully slow to work with -ie 15,000 by 10,000 pixels, 1 - 1.5GB in size. I have the 32bit version of Vista, 4gb ram.
If I upgraded to 8gb ram, would it really be worth it? I know the faq says that PS can somehow utilize this extra ram, but would PS be "as snappy" as when it has enough ram in the first place? If actions that take 15 minutes with these files would only take as long as the ones with my 600MB files, then I would do probably it. Do u think this would this be a major performance upgrade or just a tiny one?
your thoughts greatly appreciated!

Go with x64 vista first then try the file again ( in a 64 bit environment you can set PS to use just over 3gb ) then if you need more RAM then get 8GB.
But, like Freeagent said, x64 bit is the only way you will be able to use 8gb.
I work with massive files ( 45000 x 12000 pixels @250ppi ) and I need 16gb to keep things in check.....with vista ( search index, prefetch/superfetch etc disabled), photoshop and the image loaded, Vista will take up 12-14gb of RAM.
So the more ram the better IMO.
You will see improvements in performance with 8gb in PS. One thing I have noticed since upgrading to 16gb is that save times are dramatically faster - what would normally take 15 mins to save now takes between 2 to 5 mins.
Even with 16gb PS still goes to the scratch disk so a fast dedicated disk ( pref Raid 0 or 10k / 15k drive) is good advice.

Newly installed Adobe Reader XI crashes immediately on start

Have tried uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, rebooting, fixing the installation, rebooting, uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. The program starts up, I see the program window for maybe three seconds, then it closes again. Whether I double-click on the program icon or a PDF file.
OS is Windows 7 64 bit. This particular computer used to be my work laptop and had the full version of Adobe Acrobat Standard X installed for a few years, so there shouldn't be anything in it that's incompatible with Adobe products. I have found one forum that told me to go into the Windows Registry and change a key for Acrobat, but that seems ridiculously complex for a free program that basically every computer user, including the very most basic beginners, is expected to have. Is that really the solution?
I've also been advised to deactivate my antivirus (Eset Security) before installing, but I've always found that to be a ridiculous piece of advice. First of all, I've installed Microsoft Office, photo editing software, music players, video players AND Adobe Acrobat Standard X without having to deactivate the antivirus, so why would a simple free program like Reader require it? Second of all, the whole purpose of an antivirus program is to protect you when you're downloading stuff, so it seems patently stupid to deactivate it when you're consciously downloading and installing something.
Can anyone explain what's going on in my computer and how to fix it?

Some things to try...
Update to 11.0.4
Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Setup for Discoverer to have multiple sessions opening in different browser

What is the setup for Discoverer or Windows 6 browser to have multiple discoverer sessions opening in different browser windows at the same time in Discoverer 10g Plus?
We have implemented Discoverer 10g Plus just to be used as an extract tool. We have some workbooks retrieving 200,000 or more rows from an Oracle database. It is taking 30 to 45 minutes to download. Some users are able to open multiple sessions in different browsers to download more then one worksheet at the time, but we have other users who get an error message that they can only open one session at the time. What is the setup to allow users to open more than one Discoverer session?

Additional research in Metalink found the following:

Abstract: ALLOW ABILITY TO LAUNCH TWO DISCOPLUS SESSIONS FROM SAME BROWSER CONNECTION PAGE
*** 07/17/08 07:31 am REQUEST TEXT ***
Please refer to bug 6656139. Need to get Discoverer Plus certified to
support launching two plus sessions from same browser connections page when
using SUN JRE 1.5/1.6 or higher.
As per bug 6656139 it appears to be JVM 1.5.x limitation, because same

*** 07/17/08 07:31 am BUSINESS NEED ***
Impossible to run reports against two different databases simultaniously
using same Discoverer instace, or just several reports at the same time,
which would save much time instead of running reports one by one.

4gb to 8gb ram: Big help for LR?

I am running LR 4.1 RC2 on my Win7 64-bit 17.3" laptop. Here are the basic specs:
i3-330M 2.26ghz, 4gb, 500gb hd, 17.3" 1600x900 screen, Intel graphics (with latest driver)
Fortunately, I have not had the terrible performance problems that some people report, but it is still somewhat sluggish. Occasionally, even when I am not doing anything the ram usage will go from 450-550mb up to about 2gb for no apparent reason. Also, the cpu usage will go up. It only does this from time to time, but something is going on in the background. Maybe some of the times it is building previews in the background, but that is just a guess. Also, I discovered that any use of luminance NR really slows things down,. Now I wait until the last step before exporting an image to do that so that it doesn't interfere while working on that image in the develop module.
My laptop works well and except for LR is fast enough. I am wondering if going to 8gb would be the biggest bang for the buck change I could make for LR? Often that is the case, but looking at the task manager I usually have quite a bit of memory available, although when LR is really busy like exporting an image to a resized jpeg file the memory of the PC can be up to 95% usage. That drops down though when LR is done. The raw files I am working with are from 16mp and 18mp cameras and I don't do batch processing, just one photo at a time.
This laptop is 2 years old, but still running fine so I would only get a newer one with a faster cpu and more ram if I really thought it would help quite a bit -- or this one develops problems. Changing from 4gb to 8gb though is relatively inexpensive. What are your thoughts? Thank you.

I agree with your statement that 20 GB is probably ample for caching up to 40,000 raw files in LR4 and LR3.6 (see why below). Even using large 21Mp raw files that will hold up to 33,333 images before over-flow (20,000/0.6).
I know this is going off topic, but I'm sure it's of interest. I also thought that LR4.1 PV2012 stores different ACR cache information than LR3.6 PV2010. What is interesting is that the "file size" of LR3.6 PV2010 created ACR cache files are identical in size to LR4.1 P2012 created files. Below is a screen shot showing a purged cache snapshot for three (3) Canon 5D2 MKII 21Mp CR2 raw files processed first in LR3.6, and then in LR4.1 in the same order.
Cache0000000001.dat = Picture 1 in LR3.6 (530KB)
Cache0000000002.dat = Picture 2 in LR3.6 (608KB
Cache0000000003.dat = Picture 3 in LR3.6 (590KB)
Cache0000000004.dat = Picture 1 in LR4.1 (530KB)
Cache0000000005.dat = Picture 2 in LR4.1 (608KB)
Cache0000000006.dat = Picture 3 in LR4.1 (590KB)
What is more interesting is that the ACR cache .dat files are not being updated after making multiple changes to the images in LR3.6 and/or LR4.1 Develop module, only the 1 KB 'Index.dat' file is updated. I had always thought that changes made in the Develop module were updated in the ACR cache, but apparently that's not the case. I went back and hit 'Auto Tone' on each of the pictures, with no change even after zooming in to 100% on each picture. I also tried switching to the Library module and back to the Develop module, hitting 'Reset' on image, and repeating the same 100% viewing. You can see below that the 'Date Created' for the .dat image files is same as the 'Date Modified' (i.e. NOT modified), only the tiny 1KB 'Index.dat' is updated.

Which 8GB RAM upgrade chips for 2011 Macbook Pro?

I purchased my 2011 MBP with 4GBs of RAM because it seemed to me that I could eventually upgrade to 8GB for under $100. It's time to start shopping for the upgrade and I need your advice. These modules from Corsair, for example, seem to be ideal:
Corsair 8 GB DDR3 Laptop Memory Kit CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9
There are also several other options from Crucial, Kingston, and G.Skill, all in the $80-$90 range. I have the following question:
1. Which brand do you recommend?
2. Are there any compatibility issues with the brands I have mentioned?
3. Is it true that upgrading the RAM yourself doesn't void AppleCare warranty?
IMO, Corsair and Crucial make terrific RAM. I have used them in my Win PCs for years and have had no issues.
Thanks in advance for your replies!

I am getting these sticks
KINGSTON HYPERX 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 1600 NON-ECC CL9 SODIMM (KHX1600C9S3K2/8G)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104253
for my MB Pro 2011 15".
Read good stuff about them. They run at 1600 MHz, which OSX should recognize, and i7 will support it too.
This Corsair ram would work too, though it's only 1333 MHz.
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-DDR3-Laptop-Memory-CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9/dp/B002YUF8ZG /ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
If you buy the Kingston, be sure to NOT buy the XMP model - (model number ends with 8GX) buy the model that ends wth 8G. XMP is an Intel Memory Profile thing, that you'll need access to BIOS to utilize. (you can't on your mac )
Kingston should be the fastest though, with lowest CAS latency (in short, faster memory access times)
Enjoy

Powerbook 12" g4 max ram; newly installed leopard won't play movies

DVD movies working perfectly until Leopard is installed...now the movies crash the system. The dvd installing discs work fine though.

There was a Graphics update from Apple. While it might have fixed something, it has broken the DVD player in 12" G4s. A solution until Mac send out a patch for their patch, is to install a free DVD playing application called VLC.
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Once installed and you have set it as the default DVD player in preferences, you will once again be able to play DVDs.

Computer/devices will not recognize newly installed base station and make a network connection.

iMac running latest version of Yosemite, 6.3.4 version of Airport Utility, 2TB Airport Time Capsule 802.11ac. Installed latest base station as a replacement for an earlier 3T model and with Apple Tech Support was finally able to establish wireless internet connection. Time Machine nor printer connections cannot recognize the new base station/network.

Unless you have changed the settings on your Mac in Time Machine > Preferences to update them for your new Time Capsule, Time Machine is still programmed to remember and use the old settings to find your old Time Capsule, which is no longer there.
Open up Time Machine / Preferences and remove the current disk that is being used with Time Machine.
Then, click Select Disk, click on your current Time Capsule disk (likely called Data unless you have changed it) to highlight it, then click Use Disk
The first backup to the new Time Capsule should start in a few minutes.
As far as the printer, the same conditions likely exist......namely that your printer is remembering the settings to communicate with your old Time Capsule, which is no longer there, so you need to tell your printer that you have a new Time Capsule and provide it with the correct settings to connect.
Start over again, just as if the printer was new, and set up the printer again to connect to the new Time Capsule.

Newly installed OSX 10.8 crashes on restart

I downloaded OS X 10.8 to my 2009 MacBook Pro but after it installs, the computer crashes on restart. I never get beyond the apple logo. Suggestions?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Newly installed adobe reader shuts down immediately after opening

I just installed Adobe Reader (on a Windows 7 computer) but when trying to open it it starts up and shuts down immediately. I have another PDF generator which came with the computer (Stat Nova PDF) which could be interferring with Adobe reader.
With Adobe reader installed neither PDF software works.
Is there a setting to make Adobe the default PDF reader?
I cannot risk uninstalling the original PDF software (Stat Nova PDF), as this is for an urgent job and cannot risk having no functional PDF reader at all.
Thanks for your help

Thanks heaps for that Pat,
It seems to have worked.
Just out of curiosity. Why does one have to re-accept the licence agreement when we already accept it during the installation process?
Thank you again for your help

My Acrobat Pro for Mac keeps crashing when I open files

When I have a file opened in acrobat but then I try to open more files the program keeps crashing. It is very annoying and there are no updates available.

Hi Jorge,
Do you see any error code when the program crashes?
Does this problem occurs with specifically Acrobat or with other applications too?
