memory

Earlier this week I booted up my G5 Quad to find only 12 of my 16GB Memory was showing up. I've had 16GB working without issue for 1-2 years now. DIMMs 4 & 5 were showing up empty despite that not being true. Haven't had to go fiddling inside for a long time so I'm surprised anything changed...

My iPhone 6s Plus has only 13 GB. when I first bought it, it had 32GB so if I do "Erase all content and settings" will I get back the 32GB or will it stay at 13GB?

Hi, I have a Mac Mini late 2014, Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory 8 GB. I would like to upgrade it to more memory as it always seems to get close to the limit of 8GB and slows down. I keep the Activity Monitor open and when I see the Memory is getting high I Force Quit something...

I just bought a 2018 Mac Mini, and I'm running an LG Ultrafine 5k display and an LG Ultrafine 4k display. So far the iGPU has been pretty bad at pushing that many pixels, but I'm not 100% sure if it's due to the speed of the iGPU itself or its lack of VRAM. I'm not running very graphics...

I sure hope someone has experienced a problem like this and can assists. Earlier this week, I downloaded Catalina on to my new iMac. The os worked ok for a couple of days, but my hard drive was full. I think I downloaded the new XCode and haven't been able to boot the machine since. I've worked...

I'm looking to buy a new Mac Mini. I'd like 32GB RAM, but £540 seems a ludicrous amount to pay for it, given how much it costs elsewhere. I'm reading that installing RAM in these newer Minis is fiddly. Given that I'm not the most 'handy' of people, I'd rather not risk doing it myself. So this is...

Now, first of all- I want to start off by saying I am new and do not know how to use the site but I am in desperate need of help. I have an iMac that me and my family have been using for a while. I have the iMac Aluminium Unibody, I don't know what model number it is- I just know it is that one...

This might be a really dumb question but will it make a big difference if I add 16gb (8gb x 2) to the empty two slots on my iMac or would it be just as fast adding 8gb (4gb x 2)? I hear different things about RAM and I have heard in some situations if you have different size RAM there is not a...

Hi, Just got a new 2019 i9 iMac 27" and also purchased the required ram (2x16gb = 32gb). I'm a photoshop and capture one user (who using the comp for everything, so email, word, safari, etc are all open while working). Here is my question - is it better to remove the 2x4gb ram and just have...

Hey everyone. I grabbed this screenshot a couple months ago from my 2011 iMac running macOS Sierra. In the minutes leading up to the screenshot the computer was almost completely frozen, so I opened up the activity monitor, but the CPU load was relatively low.. I then switched to the memory tab...

I just got my Early 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 running again by replacing the power supply. It was dead about 3 years. It currently has 4GB RAM, but on boot I found I was only getting 2GB. What worked instantly to give me 4GB was to place the dimms so: A1, B1, A3, B3. Now I'm planning to add 2x4GB dimms...

Hi. Longtime, but occasional reader here. So I've owned a couple of Rev. C clamshells (an indigo and a 466 key lime) over the last dozen years. With the latter, I restored it partially earlier this year — adding a 128GB SSD, a DVD-RW (which mates to the original bezel), and an LG XGA 1024x768...
