Won't see new memory

I've got a new 8-core. Just installed a 2 gig memory kit from Crucial and the machine is not seeing it. The slots(DIMM3) that I put them in is showing as "empty". Crucial sent cards with this info on the static packet: 1GB 240 PIN 128Mx72 DDrs PC2-5300 Fully Buffered. Are these the right ones and if so, why won't it recognize it?

You install pairs on the same Riser, not 'across' both Risers.
When buying from Crucial, use their memory selector.
Make sure fully seated.
You should have something like this when it arrived.
Riser A: 512MB 512MB
riser B: empty
What I would do now is ut 2 x 1GB in Riser B slots 1 and 2, or on top in 3 and 4.
You would be to put it in "B" empty Riser and put that in the top slot, and move the 2 x 512MB to bottom.
Ideal: to have 2 x 1GB on both Risers for 4GB plus 2 x 512MB in slots 3 & 4 on top Riser.

Why won't Mac Pro 1,1 won't recognize new memory?

Hi out there. I needed a bit more memory so I got 2G of Kingston. I had ordered it from MacMall and had given my serial # and they picked it, so I am assuming it is the right memory. I have installed it in slot 3. From what I have read in the manual that is correct. I have heard conflicting things about having to install in pairs. I have 512 in slots 1 and 2 for a total of 1G before the new memory. I have taken it out and put it back in a few times, reset PRAM, etc, to no avail. So, my question is.... does it really need to be installed in pairs???? Could it just be faulty memory? I have searched the forum, and this seems to be a common problem with later models of MacPros, but I haven't seen anything about older ones like mine.
Thanks!

OK, thanks. I thought so. I wasn't sure though and when I talked to the woman at MacMall she said no. I have done a lot of biz with them and have never steered me wrong before, so I am not dissing them, but it sure would have been nice to know to begin with so I could have bought two 1Gs instead of having to buy another 2Gs. Oh well, now it will hopefully be back to being superfast.
Thanks for your quick response, I appreciate it!

X58 Pro Won't See 4GB Memory Module

I have the X58 Pro with i7 965, run Win 7 64 bits, most of my appl. are video editing and rendering. it worked fine with 2GB module (Corsair) but I just bought 6 pieces of 4GB DDR3 (Micron technology). Slapped in => no boot. have tried zapped with all latest BIOS up to 8.6 (8.7 is worst). I must remove at least 1 4GB module and replace a 2Gb then CPU will boot but bios report total number of RAM = total number of 2Gg module but ignores all the 4Gb pieces, so Window took this number as total system memory.. Funny part is: MSI overclock tool reads a 4Gb module and thought it's 2 Gb (meanwhile CPUID recognized these 4Gb module). My guess is max 24Gb memory for X58 pro just a marketing gimmick from MSI since they though no one will buy this board and put 24 Gb memory in it. Month ago I've tried mix with 8 and 2 Gb pieces, it won't boot at all.
I post here to see if anyone have an idea of what's going on with this main board and 4Gb module. For other just don't go out and pay a fortune for 4Gb then get very disappoint result.

Well, the problem with that guess is, that it ignores the fact that the memory controller is actually part of the Core i7 processor and has therefore not directly anything to do with the board or the chipset. So basically, if you suspect a marketing gimmick, you should probably canalize such guesses directly to Intel and their processor specifications.
OK, furthermore:
The resolution of your screenshot is not high enough to be able to really read most of the numbers. Please make a better one.

Well, mixing different memory modules is not a good idea in the first place. It causes problems on many system configurations and should be avoided at all costs. It also doesn't help to get to the root of your actual problem:

What happens if you use only one or two of your 4GB modules?
Can you provide a link to the product site for your memory sticks and/or tell us the exact model number?
What BIOS Settings were you working with (Base Clock Speed, Memory Multiplier, DRAM Voltage, timings)?
There are numerous explanations for your problems that need to be checked systematically in order to get to the root of the problems. The most crucial points are:
- Are all memory slots working properly and if not, is that because one or more are broken or because there is some sort of short circuit issue that can be avoided if the board is taken out of the case and tested on a non-conducting surface?
- Are all memory modules working properly?
- Is this a CMOS mess that could be solved by a CMOS Clear? >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
- Is the a CPU issue (faulty memory controller)?
- Is the CPU (or its contact pads) in proper contact with the pins of the board's socket? In case you happen to have a FOXCONN Socket, please check the CPU's contact pads for imprints of the socket pins.

Won't recognize new memory

You obviously know more that the manufacturer of the computer. (If the User Guide were wrong, don't you think Apple would have issued a correctionafter over 2 months? By the way PC2400 is designed to run on a 133 FSB...check with Corsair...they came out with it)
That Black Knight always wins!
There is absolutely nothing official about "PC2400", and I'm surprised that Apple even has it in their manual. PC2400 memory doesn't seem to be anything more than 133 MHz DDR SDRAMs overclocked to 150 MHz. Pushing it to 166 MHz might be risking a certain amount of reliability - especially at higher temperatures.
http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=929
Since the Corsair memory already has PC2400 rating (150 MHz FSB) and since it uses the same DRAM as our reference stick of OCZ PC2400 which did 170 MHz (CL2) last time I checked, I expected some good things to come from the XMS2400. And no, I wasn't going to be disappointed. The Corsair XMS2400 did 171 MHz at the most aggressive timings!
http://www.pnrcomputersystems.com/Pages/whatis_pc2400_ddrsdram.htm
PC2400 is not an actual JEDEC specification but rather a guarantee that the memory will run beyond its specification. PC2400 DDR SDRAM is designed to run stably when overclocked to 150MHz (300MHz DDR). PC2400 describes the memory's transfer rate of 2400 MB/sec (2.4 GB/sec) on a 64-bit bus rather than its MHz speed.

ImageCapture app won't see new pictures shot on iPhon after update to 4.1

I updated my iPhone 3G from 3.1 to 4.1 and got a slower and buggy phone now.
When I connect to PC or Mac to download new pictures made by iPhone, it is impossible to see them with the usual "ImageCapture app".
The new pictures are seen on iPhone but not on Computer....
The only way to download them is to e-mail the pictures Is this Bug known?? How I restore my iPhone3g to a usable phone now??? shame on apple - next time better no to update

OK I gotcha!
I changed the default application from Imagecapture to iPhoto
I connected my iPhone
I opened with iPhoto and - after a long wait - the latest pictures appeared in iPhoto
then I went back to Imagecapture and suddenly the latest pictures appeared too.
I noticed that the new photos has been named with lower number than expected, so having order by name made the latest pictures "invisible"
I switched to ordering by date and I found them
I wonder only why suddenly, after upgrading from 3.1 to 4.1, the names of pictures aren't progressive but went back from IMG_3248.jpg to IMG_1745.jpg
did I overwrite older photos?

H61M-P12 (B3) Won't Boot & Won't see 2nd Memory Slot

MSI H61M-P23 B3 Thermaltake Barebones Kit -
MSI H61M-P23 B3 Board -- 2nd Motherboard, 1st one same problem.
Intel Core i3-2100 3.10 GHz
Patriot 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 RAM -- 2nd Memory, 1st one same problem
Seagate 500GB HDD
Optiarc 24x DVDRW
MSI N520 GT PCI-E Video Card
Thermaltake V2 Mid Tower with 600W PSU (Changed out the PSU)
Install both Memory sticks and it won't boot, doesn't past post.
Install 1 Memory stick, it boots, works great. It doesn't matter which stick is in the slot closest to the Processor, they both work great.
We have replaced the Motherboard and the Memory. We have upgraded the PSU to a 600W. The only time we have problems is when the Memory is in the slot furthest away from Processor.
We tried this with and without the video card in, same problem.

Followed your instructions to a "T". I now have Bios version E7680IMS.V17.6 I shut the computer down, unplugged without the battery for 2 hours. Cleared the CMOS....STILL HAVING SAME ISSUE!!!! It won't boot and sends me into an infinite loop with both memory modules in both slots.
I am so close to sending the Motherboard, Video Card back for full refund!!! and never buy MSI again!!! This seems to be a recurring theme all over the internet regarding MSI, and yet I can't seem to find a solution.

10.4 Install disk won't see new hard drive

My 10.5.6 drive is dying so I replaced it with a brand new drive. I bought my computer just after the 10.5.0 upgrade, so it came with two 10.4 disks and a 10.5 upgrade disk.
When I insert 10.4 disk 1 and boot, I get to the point where I am asked to select a drive. Nothing is showing. My hard drive is not recognized.
There is only one setup path. There is no way to use Utility or any other program. There are no tabs, options or anything else but this setup path. OsX 10.4 Disk 2 is not recognized. The OSX 10.5 disk is not recognized.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the Erase tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled... after completion hopefully you'll be able to install.

GB won't see new instruments

Hi guys,
I'm sure this on is simple however it's got me stumped - I've followed forum leads however I still have the problem.
I've got new instruments and fx, I think I've installed them in the right folders in the library, sound/banks for instruments and components for fx.
I am able to use the fx however when I select a software instrument and go into Edit, Sound Generator, my new instruments are not there.
Can someone please help with this?I might be doing something basic wrong, I must have missed something!
Thanks a tonne,
Matthew

I have the same problem with EXS24 instruments, either just copied to Library/Application Support/Garageband/Instrument Library or using an installer.
Need my Boldt stuff!

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

New Memory Computer won't boot windows

I am running a MSI A58M-E33 running Windows XP
AMD A Series A4-6300 - 3.7 GHz - 2 Cores - 1 MB Cache - Socket FM2 - Box - AD6300OKHLBOX
It came with Memory of
ADATA XPG V1 4GB Desktop Memory Module - DDR3 1600, PC3-12800, Blue - AX3U1600C4G11-SD
It's been running fine since December. I decided to add another memory component. So I bought a duplicate ADATA memory stick
Now my computer is saying
CPU or Memory Changed !!!! Please enter setup to configure your system.
Press F1 to run setup.
Press F2 to load default values and continue.
I tried F2 and it goes to load XP and then ask to run in safe mode or normal. I don't see what options to select in the bios for memory. Is there an option to choose what it loads?
I tried taking out the new memory and just using the old memory and it still has the same problem. Same problem with just the new memory or just the old or both together it fails to load. I can access the bios but am unable to load the preinstalled windows os.
Do I have to reinstall windows when installing new memory? I could have sworn the last time I did this on another computer it started no problem.
The only strange thing is though the memory looks the same on the outside. Same stickers same pictures same colors. When I explore my board the old memory is labeled.
DDR3 memory slot 1: DDR3 SDRAM - Kingmax EWB4GB681CA3-16IC
And the new memory is labeled
DDR3 memory slot 2: DDR3 SDRAM - A-DATA DDR3 1600
Both say A-Data on the physical memory so I wonder if I was swindled on the original and it really isn't A-Data.
So what should I do?

Windows XP (non-64 bit) can only detect up to 4 GB of memory.
HOWEVER....a 32-bit system will shadow various memory from the end of memory back towards the beginning. Things such as your video card memory and other various memory components will be shadowed.
On top of that, if you are using the on-board video, the memory allocated to it will start at the 4GB point and work towards the beginning. So if you set it to use 1GB of memory, it will reserve 1 GB of system memory for use with the video card. In that case, you would only have 3GB available. Add in other shadowed components, and you might be at 2.96 available.
All in all, for a 32-bit system, this isn't surprising. Many people don't remember those days, but us old people do.
I would consider upgrading to a 64 bit based OS before going further.

New MBP won't see Panasonic HVX

Hello,
I have a new MBP and a Panasonic HVX 200. When I try to connect the camera to the computer (with an adapter cable) the computer won't see the camera. It still comes up on my old iMac (via 400). Any thoughts on what the fix is?
Thanks.
Wolf

Wolfwill23: Sounds like a bad cable or adapter. If you're using the same 400->400 cable to connect the camera to the iMac, and adding a 400->800 adapter when connecting to the MBP, then the adapter is probably bad. If you're using a 400->400 cable with the iMac and a 400->800 cable with the MBP, then the latter cable is suspect.

MacBook won't start up after installing new Memory

I have a Macbook White from the year of 2009. It is currently running with 2GB of Memory. I bought 4GB Memory online for my MacBook, so I could get it to run twice as fast.
I turned off my MacBook, removed the battery, and then unscrewed that 'silver thing'. The one that protects and covers the Memory. I took out the two memory 'parts' and then I tried to insert the new ones. I did not get any kind of 'click sound' or what so ever. They were hard to push in and no matter what I did, I was able to pull them out again without using that 'flicker' or what it is called. The thing used to pull the Memory out. I then inserted my old Memory to check if that worked and it did. They made a very small sound and the Memory sort of disappeared into the machine. They were not loose. The major problem was that the other two new Memory parts were 'loose' and would not 'lock' in the computer. When I tried to turn on my MacBook after inserting the new Memory, the screen was black and it made a weird sound like every 3th second. It did this for about 20 seconds and then I turned it off using the power button.
What do I need to do?
Thanks for reading.

You probably bought the wrong RAM that has different pin assignments, so it won't fit in the slot. Return it.

Doubling the memory does not make your computer run twice as fast.

Lost New iPod. Mac Won't See Old iPod.

I recently bought a new iPod and gave it a different name in iTunes. A few days ago I lost it. Now my Mac won't see my previous 4th Gen iPod. Any suggestions. Tried reset. Tried reloading iTunes.

I have a 1st or 2nd gen Ipod that uses Firewire and when I update my iTunes it shut out my ipod and now neither my G4 or G5 recognizes my ipod. I can't use the ipod reset utility because computer wont acknowledge it. I look in System Profiler and under Firewire computer knows it's there but wont bring it up on the desktop or itunes. I tried using USB but that was crap. Help

G5 won't start up (black screen saying restart) after installing new memory

I have installed two new memory cards and removed the original and now my computer starts to start up - But then locks with a gray overlay and says restart - which you can only do by a hard start.

The trick with installing memory is that you have to PUSH harder than you can possibly imagine, so hard that you think you will damage the RAM, but you won't. Keep pushing till you hear a click.

TS5221 my IMAC won't see my new iphone5S?

I plug it in just like the I Phone 4S and my IMAC won;t see it as a device? Also the transfer they did at the store lost all my inforamation? Ihad to set up all my emails again?? This never happened when I bought the Iphone 4S.

Hi - is the Firewire drive a Western Digital MyBook? That's what I have and have exactly the same problem. I've got a late 2009 iMac and the only way it'll connect and be seen is via USB. The drive will happily connect to my previous gen iMac, it just seems it won't talk to the 27 inch via Firewire.
I did some searching on this 18 months ago and found others with the same problem so I've settled for USB. It does mean that via USB I can use it as a bootable clone if I have any problems with the 27" (I don't think the WD MyBook can boot via Firewire even if it could see the drive - could be wrong on this bit though ).
