XP - I have found where the missing 2GB has gone for 4GB machines.
Hi Guys,
I have been looking into why XP can only see 2GB of my 4GB ram and it looks like the MacPro is reserving roughly 2GB of addressable memory for the PCI bus!
If you view resources by connection in Device Manager there are two areas of memory reserved for the PCI bus:
0x000A0000 to 000BFFFF ( less than 1 MB )
0x80000000 to 0xFE000000 ( 2016 MB )
I have no idea why such a large chunk of addressable memory is being reserved for the PCI bus but it is and thats why you cannot see you full 4GB.
If I actually count up how much of the address space is actually used by devices I get :
0x80000000 to 0x90C04BFF ( 268 MB )
there is also an area reserved for motherboard resources but not used
0xD0000000 to 0xDFFFFFFF ( 256 MB )
So we get an area missing here
0x90C04BFF to 0xD0000000 ( 1012 MB )
And here
0xDFFFFFFF to 0xFE000000 ( 480 MB )
This is a total of 1492 MB of wasted address space!
Apple please can we have our ram back?
Cheers
Andy
i think its highly unlikely that its actually got
anything to do with the pci bus, its just doze
confusing itself. xp can only utilise 3 gigs of ram,
and if you have it managing virtual memory then it
may be counting 1gig of drivespace over the 1gig of
physical ram. you should be okay to turn off virtual
memory in xp with that much physical ram (cant
remember how you do it, its in the performance
settings somewhere), provided you dont use multiple
very ram heavy apps at once. that might enable xp to
see 3 gigs of your physical ram and may speed things
up a bit.
On my MacBook Pro C2D with 3GB I see all 3GB booted to Windows XP, on my Mac Pro with 6GB I see only 2GB. So I don't think it is "Windoze".

How can you change your line access selection? I have found where you can change your plan selection, but can you change the line access fee or is that a set amount?
DIVAB71,
Great question. The line access fees for the account are a set amount and can not be changed unless you are going from a basic to a smartphone or vice versa. If you are wondering about adding the month to month discount if you are out of contract Ann154 has provided great information on how to access and add the feature.

Free trials are not available through the Mac App Store.

My Apple ID asks for answers to security questions which I never input. I have searched how to reset my security questions and have found that the option below where your answers are to be input to reset questions does not exist on my iPhone 5c
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

I am having trouble getting mail from the shaw server that my new iMac is connected to. I have to reboot the system to get Outlook for Mac to access the system and obtain new messages. Any ideas? Its at the point where I have started using the PC again as its less trouble.......
In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".<br />
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"<br />
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy -

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After uploading our phones with the latest update, we have noticed that the battery life has deminished considerably. I now have to charge my phone overnight and two or three times a day. Prior to the update, my battery life lasted me at least a full day. We have several phones in our office and the ones that have updated (4) now have issue holding a charge/battery life. I really liked this phone and can not believe that you are now going to charge us $79 a battery to fix what is most definately a problem with your latest update. I know other people outside of our company that are having the same problem. Not to mention when I called AT&T it was confirmed to me that they are hearing the same issue and then some from other customers as well. Your own people, once I talked to them earlier today, told me they are showing a history of issues that are showing up after the update was put in place. Of course she tried to say, "Maybe the age of the battery and the update both contributed". Whatever.
I want you all to know how disappointed I am in your company for the handling of this issue. I always thought "Apple" was the line I didn't have to worry about having any types of issue. And that you all would stand behined your product 100%. Now I am not so sure.
I would love to hear back from your company on how you perceive the issue with all of these phones that prior to the update didn't have any issues and how after the update THEY ARE NOW having issues. I do not believe this was an issue due to the age of a battery and that was pretty lame to say so. It was fine and now its not.
Please feel free to contact me and help me figure out a way to pay for all of the batteries that will be needed for our company to contiue doing business as needed.
Thank you.

Apple changed my Apple ID to the email address associated with my iTunes account. I now can no longer access my account because the old user name is no longer valid and has no password. I have been on the phone with tech support for hours trying to fix this. I can not update any of the apps associated with that user name.
Is this itunes on the iPad or on my computer? Thank you for the reply.

I subscribe to my video podcasts but some of them either has a small red E next to them and won't download new content or some just doesn't download new content. I have been watching the Rachael Maddow video podcast for at least a month with no problems. Now suddenly it won't download the last nights show. I have read and followed all troubleshoot and cannot find a solution. I have unsubscribed and re-subscribed to no avail. Can someone help me with this problem?

And now that my contract has expired, I have some options. Last weekend, I called Verizon again threatening to leave. The representative offered the same $75 rebate that was offered to me 6 months earlier. I even offered up one of my device upgrades in place of a network extender, but that deal was knocked down. And so now I’m left with the option to make a public spectacle out of this scenario and hope Verizon takes notice. Failing that, I’ll be forced to leave Verizon behind.
I don't understand. If having service in your home IS important to you and you already know Verizon's policy, why have you not instead started to search for carriers which cover your home? It seems a pretty easy decision to me, at least. -

I cannot play my rented movie because itunes cannot locate where the original file, has anyone face this problem before? Where can I find the location of the downloaded movie?
What did you use to download it with? iPad? iPhone? Computer?
If it's an iPad/iPhone, play it using the videos app.
If on the computer, look on the left side of iTunes in the library under movies. -

I dropped my iPhone 5c and it wont turn on but its constantly vibrating. I have tried holding the home and lock screen for a long time but nothing has happened. How can I fix this?
You make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get it serviced/replaced. You broke it. If you can't even force a reboot, there's nothing much more you can do.
