I installed SL on my hard drive (upgrade from Leopard) and it worked great, just popped in my Intel X25-M G2 160GB today, installed SL.
I checked my About This Mac info and it shows I have ONLY 14GB RAM, I had 18GB before...
Does anyone know why?
I'm going to be getting an iMac 27" when they come out and just get the stock 2x2GB sticks of RAM that come with it. I want to upgrade to 8GB... but I'm doing 2x4GB so that if I ever decided I wanted to do 16GB (I don't see why, but why not at least have half of it?).
My question is, if I do this, should I leave the 2x2GB sticks in with the 2x4GB sticks? Or should I take them out?
There seems to be some conflicting ideas about what RAM to use. I know you're supposed to do it in pairs, but I don't know how the iMac handles having 4 slots.
Did I do this wrong?
Each bank has a 4gig and a 2gig. I installed them into the machine with the 2x4gig on the left, and the 2x2gig on the right, and the "banks" are apparantly front and back, not side and side.
I'd just like to make sure that it'll work just fine with 2x4GB RAM modules as well as 2x2GB RAM modules for a total of 12GB? I don't need to get 16GB do I?

I cannot format the drive either as I have over 500gb of data on it.

I had a quick question about the screen and how it dimms at wierd times.like the screen to be on the brightest possible setting but some times it dimms to a lower level. Why is that? Does it have to do with the light in my room?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two 512mb 667MHz DDR2 DIMMS from an old first generation Intel iMac. Would one of these DIMMS work in the Aluminum iMac running a single 1GB 800MHz DDR2 DIMM? Common sense tells me "No" and that this combination could cause Kernal Panics, etc with different speeds of RAM installed. However, I thought it was worth asking since I have these two DIMMS sitting here doing nothing and my mate could use the extra memory for free.

Now i want to upgrade but im doubting what will give me the most performance:
4x1gb = 137 dollar
2x2gb = 95 dollar
What would you guys do? I read that one gb modules are faster because I already have 2x1 gb and with 1gb all modules will be even...
I bought two Mushkin pc3-10666 1,333Mhz 4gb ram for my mid 2009 macbook pro 13". When i install both off them, my mac asks me to turn it off while when i install one off them (on its own or in couple with one of the old 1gb intel) it works perfectly, why is that?

Planning to order a new Mac Mini in the coming week and would like to get some advice as to what to go with in terms of memory - brand and model-wise. I will be going for 2 x 2GB of course.
I see here on newegg that one reviewer is saying that the corsair modules don't seem to be working with his Mac (isolated case?).

I purchased a brand new Macbook Pro from Best Buy a few months back, it is the 13" unibody with a 2.26 ghz dual core processor and came with 2gb of memory installed. I just bought the two sticks of memory from [URL] which were Kingston DDR3 1066 204-pins, 4gb each. My friend told me that my Macbook Pro will only support up to 6gb, but my manual says that it supports up to 8gb. He also said that people have been having trouble with their motherboards by installing too much (8gb) of memory. I've done some research and looks like I'm good to go, but just want some reassurance before I install the new memory. One last thing, he also told me that 8gb is only supported on the i7 processors?

My email messages for one Google account no longer show up in my OS X Mail client.Case info:This may have occurred after I enabled the 'All Mail' to Apple Mail for the account, then removed it once I saw it was adding every single message I deleted since the beginning of time. Still, that doesn't explain the following...My email messages for another Google account does show up in my OS X Mail client. They have exactly the same IMAP settings other than username and password.My email messages for the account that doesn't work, shows up fine on my iPhone/iOS and gmail.com.None of the messages in the inbox or folders/labels show up. The count is zero. However they all show up fine in folders in iOS and on gmail.com.There is an indicator for one new message in the inbox, but none show.

So I have the stock 2X1 and 4X2 aftermarket. None of the sticks that I put in the second riser will show up. I tried the 2's in A1, A2, B1, B2 then the 1's in A3, A4. I then tried the 4 2's in riser A and the 1's in riser B. It didn't seem to matter, all that would show up is what was in Riser A. Could it be a bad riser or something?

I am not sure why if I go to type in kbos sey parch ccc rober kjfk won't show the blue line. However, it works on firefox. Here are the pictures of the two. The first is on Safari (not working) the second is of Firefox (working). By the way, I zoomed out a lot so you could see how Firefox shows the blue line for the whole route and this happens for other things as well .

I have a macbook pro mid 2009 running Lion (upgraded twice). Right now, there are two sticks of 4gb RAM in the computer, however, if I go to about this mac, system profiler, or activity moniter, they all show that I have only 4gb, while I should have 8 (photoshop is running slower than it should, so obviously one stick is not being used.) Â
After testing a few times, I have found:
The not functioning slot is the bottom slot, If I try to start up my computer with a stick of RAM in there only, my macs screen stays dark and beeps periodically along with the "sleep" light flashing. However, if I just use the top slot, my computer works fine.Â
I know its not the RAM sticks themselves because i've also tested with 1 and 2 gb ram, so I suspect my ram slot is broken somehow. It looks fine, the ram goes in and everything, but obviously something's wrong. Â
I ran hardware test and it said everything was fine, but still only showed 4 gb total ram and told me theres nothing in the other slot.Â
So is my RAM slot just disconnected or something/broken?

I'm having a problem with Software Update showing the 10.5.3 update 'ready to install' after I've already installed it. I even went to the extra measure of replacing it with the full combo installer to make sure.
