I have had a look at previous Q & A and am satisfied that 1.5 GB ram is fine in the eMac however i would like to know what the symptoms would be if there was memory incompatibility.Â
There is a long story , here is the short version.... Basically things went into a frenzy, wouldn't even shut down. The (additional) memory wasn't put in at my place and the computer also had updates done by the other person, when it came back it was unbelievable.. and worrying... my son refitted the 2 sticks that were in it, still frenzy, thought it was wrecked, looked up book, did safe boot. after angonising minutes everything came back.
Gathered courage and we re installed the (new) 1gb alongside incumbent 512 and now things seem ok.Â
I don't believe the ram is /was faulty so something else went on.Â
The sticks that are in the machine are  512gb DDR SDRam PC3200U 30440 ( this was one of a matched pair)
1 gb  DDR SDRam PC 3200U 30330 ( this is the new one)Â
I felt i bought the 1gb carefully to be compatible. I do see there is a difference in the last number.Â

What is the minimal configuration (operating system and memory) for installing iTunes 10.x on a G4 eMac?It already runs on Tiger 10.4.11 with 718MB of RAM.
I do pro bono tech support for a local elementary school computer lab filled with 20 G3 iMacs and 4 eMacs. One of the eMacs recently began throwing intermittent kernel panics. Specs: 1 GHz, USB 2.0, single 512 MB PC2700 stick. mfgd. March 2005. DiskWarrior 3.0.3 found no problems. Repaired permissions and ran Disk Utility repair. Open Firmware resets were done (set-defaults, reset-nvram, reset-all). Problem still existed. Then I booted from the Apple Hardware Test disk. It passed the Quick test, but the Extended test was aborted during the Memory test. There was no error code. Instead, an Open Firmware window popped up. It said AHT was aborting due to a script execution error in AHT on line 11688. Underneath this was a line that said there were memory leaks.
AHT was rerun, and both Quick and Extended tests were aborted with the same message. The 512 RAM stick was removed from slot 2 and placed in slot 1. Cuda button was pushed. AHT was rerun and the same aborting script execution message happened on both Quick and Extended. The 512 MB RAM stick was removed and two known-good 256 MB sticks were placed in the slots. Cuda button was pushed. AHT was rerun and both tests were aborted during the memory test portion. The only difference is that the error occurred on Line 11685 both times. The locations of memory leaks changed too but I didn't write those down. This AHT is Stand Alone Diagnostics V23.0. Is that the logic board's memory controller is failing.
I've recently attempted to install 2 sticks of 2GB RAM into my MacBook Pro, but unfortunately had jammed one stick in the lower RAM compartment (Apparently I forgot to enter it at 45�) and had a rough time getting it out.
The RAM stick is busted and had to replace it, but I'm quite sure the slot might suffered a bit.
I am having issues with my memory. I keep getting warning signs that I don't have enough RAM to complete functions; however, my RAM status says it is OK. The ECC says disabled? Does that have anything to do with it?
so lately programs in my computer have frozen a lot and i get the beach ball often in safari. i just had my logicboard replaced because of flickering by Apple so i know its probably not that. so could this be a failing hard drive?
Laptop suffered wine spillage, now it won't boot up. Cleaned the logic board (+ gpu/cpu/heatsink) with isopropanol, rinsed with electronics cleaner (electrosolve), but still won't boot. There are some visible signs of oxidation, very very slight. Magsafe connector works, ac adapter light only comes on when connector is connected to motherboard. Also the motherboard gets slightly warm to touch when power is plugged in. When ac plugged in, the macbook won't start up. Couple of questions:
1) Anyone have a diagram of the a1181 logic board? (2.0ghz, core duo) 2) Anyone know how which pins to short on the keyboard connector to power up (in case the keyboard is the problem); remember reading it was the farthest left pins, can someone confirm?
I have tried to migrate hardrive content from the emac to our imac with no luck. We still need to get eveything off the emac. What is the best way to do this? Take the hard drive out and then what?
We have a macbook in the same situation if you can answer that one too.Â
I am having a problem with Photoshop Elements 8. The software will not open on my iMac for it says that I am missing applications or something around that ballpark. Once I come home from my gf's house I will be able to give you guys/girls the exact message I get when trying to open PSE8. I do not know if the PSE8 is compatible with my current iMac due to its model/year/specs etc. I purchased my iMac around the year of late 2006 early 2007. Should PSE8 be compatible with my iMac or not?
I believe it should, but yet I do not know the reason why it will not open. I recently purchased the Bamboo Pen & Touch for my gf and it came with the PSE8 software. I Installed the PSE8 on her iMac (Which she purchased the Black Friday that passed.) But before installing the PSE8 on the iMac, the Bamboo installer was installed first. Maybe I need to install the Bamboo installer before installing the PSE8 software that was included with the Tablet product?
Just doing some pre-SL install research. I'm curious about running the kernel in 64-bit mode. I have a mid 2009 13" MBP so the hardware should be able to boot into the 64-bit kernel. I don't use a whole ton of 3rd party applications and not many external peripherals so I think I might be able to get away with k64.
But, is there a way for me to check for sure? How do I know if certain apps or peripherals/extensions are not 64-bit? If I click on the apps and use "Get Info" will that tell me? Perhaps there is a list somewhere similar to the SL compatibility wiki that tells people's experiences with 64-bit compatibility. What if I boot into k64 and try to run an incompatible item, will the OS tell me so, or just crash, or just not work, or what?
As far as peripherals: iPod touch 2G Mighty Mouse (bluetooth) i1 Display2 colorimeter Dell 2209WA Ruahrc
The only reason I haven't switched from Firefox to Safari yet is because I check some Arabic news websites, and they seem to be incompatible with Safari or something. I attached screencaps of what they look like (Al-Jazeera, Al-Arabiya) As you can see, the text is out of place. It really is an eyesore.
My Photoshop CS5 does not like it if I move image files into folders generated on my Mac Book Pro it is only with the HDR & Merge features. If I do not have image files inside the folder generated by my
I "wrongly" installed Motorola Device Manger related to my phone but Yosemite doesn't like it. I believe it runs in the background and doesn't appear in applications. How can I uninstall it?
I decided I had enough of Mail's 'misdemeanors' and completed erased every trace from my hard drive. The application, my messages, the preference files, the cache et al, only to realize my poor anger management. I use Snow Leopard 10.6.2, with Mail 4.2 configured on a Gmail IMAP account. I tried reinstalling mail using Pacifist, but the version provided in my installer disk being Mail 4.0, I learned that it's incompatible with the 10.6.2 updated version. I suppose there are no updates available for Mail specifically. In a wild goose chase, I ran software update in a bid to update ver. 4.0 to ver. 4.2, but to no avail. What should I do now? How do I this goddamn Mail working back again?
I have many years of accounting on quicken and now I find I can't do this year's tax. Has anyone found a way to make quicken work or another program that will use the quicken data?
I am not able to open FCP X on my iMac which is running on mac os x version 10.5.8.I have tried to update the version to see if there is any new versions, but apple update says there is no new updates.I am able to install the trial version without a problem. Open it, drag the app to the applications folder. But its only when I try to open it, it gives me the error.Also there is a circle with a slash on the Final Cut Pro X app icon to show that it is not compatible.Is there any way I can get it to work. I used to have Final Cut Pro working on this before without a problem, however deleted as I found it a bit difficult to learn. But I have seen the features for Final Cut Pro X which is so much easier and really would like to give it a try.
I have a Mac Mini, and recently I buy a television by Sony 3d (46"). For my surprise, the television don't accept the signal from Mac Mini. On the screen appears the message (Signal Incompatible). I change all configurations, but nothing. I call to Sony and they don't have idea about the problem.
I recently updated to Snow Leopard. The transition went very well except for one thing. When I try to open up Photo Booth, it says that it is not compatible with this version of Mac OS X (10.6.1). It also states that it is Photo Booth 2.0.3. Just to let you know, I do not have the backup CD's at the moment.
I downloaded and installed a Safari Toolbar. However, it is incompatible with my version of safari, and I just get a message every time I boot safari that It cannot work. How do I uninstall it?
I did a dick head move and downloaded effects for photo booth. The reason why it's a dick head move was because I didn't realize that the effects was for photo booth 2.1.1 and I'm running 3.0.2. Now my default effect quality is terrible and you cant hardly take a "good" picture. Is there any way I can remove the new effects and get my regular back to the way it is suppose to be?
I have an iPhoto that can't run and shows this message. What should I do? I had Aperture before, but I deleted it. Now iPhoto shows some error. I get error message: iPhoto can not run due to an incompatible version of ProKit on this system. What should I do?
Have just installed 10.7.4. Now, I finally have to hose PPC (and even some hangover Classic) applications. I know, I know, I should have done it earlier, before even Snow Leopard. For me, the easiest place to ID them is in ABOUT THIS MAC ➜ MORE INFO ➜ SYSTEM REPORT ➜ SOFTWARE ➜ APPLICATIONS ➜ which in the sub categories of CLASSIC and PPC are rosters of > 250 items. How to trash them from this window? Or elsewhere? I’ve tried click-and-drag (both singly and by batch) delete (both singly and by batch), all unsuccessfully.

I do a lot of machine embroidery. In moving from a PC to Mac, I've learned that none of my current embroidery software is compatible with Apple OS. I'm happy to maintain those programs on a Windows laptop, but would really like to be able to view my designs on the Mac Mini. The files are *.pes. Is there any way to convert them to a Mac compatible format?

Adobe recommends downgrading from Safari 5.1.7 as this version will not open pdfs in Snow Leopard. Where can I find downloads of older (pre 5.1.7) versions of Safari? The apple site keeps forcing me to the download for the most recent 5.1.7 version.

I have a iMac DV G3/500 (Special Edition) from summer 2000. Anyway, I am using Mac OS 10.2.8. Recently, my start up disk's memory has gone done from 1.2 GB available free space to 668MB (currently). I haven't saved anything on this disk so I can not understand why this memory has dissappeared. I have also had icons on the start up menu disappear. Could someone please tell me how I can restore the missing memory?
