upgrading

In order to attempt to transition from the ITB Mac mini circa 2016 (2014 model) to a MM2 with "just" 512gb on it, I made the decision to put "desktop and documents" in the iCloud. My thinking, since I have 200gb on a Family plan and had only used 48gb to date, that would help. I checked today...

I'm upgrading from my beloved Mac Pro 5,1 (with Metal video card and 40GB RAM) I've had since 2010 to a new MacBook Pro (because Apple doesn't support installing anything beyond OS 10.14 Mojave on it). I can't afford a new Mac Pro right now—so that leaves me with the option of a new MacBook Pro...

Hello all My sister has an iMac G5 17" Model A1058 with 1 GB RAM. During a recent visit from me to her house she complained to me about the sluggish behavior of this Mac. So I had a look at it. After running disk-utility and repairs on the disk the whole machine was much quicker. Noticing...

i've heard that it's now confirmed that you can swap out a 2GB DIMM for a 4GB and give a black macbook a total of 6GB of RAM. i heard this while working on a job next to someone where we were both on our laptops and having slowness issues to to the client's HUGE photoshop and illustrator...

Hi folks, The new Mac Pro only has 2GB of memory, and I'm going to need to up this for running FCS2 to a min. of 8GB. I was thinking about buying 2 x 4GB modules, but it appears that one 3rd party seller are advertising low density memory as being a selling point. Is this really a...

I know there's a USB option for bringing 802.11n to my iMac G5 (20", pre-iSight), but I'm wondering if anyone has run across an internal solution. I know Apple is selling an 802.11n AirPort Extreme card for MacBooks as a service part (not a retail part). Does anyone know if this card will...

Hi, I have an Apple Power Macintosh G4 1.25 DP (FW 800) (M8840LL/A). I added 2GB of Ram and it has the standard 4X AGP ATI Radeon 9000 Pro graphics card with 64 MB of DDR SDRAM. When I go to iMovie to transfer HD video from my video camera, iMovie can handle but it captures the video at a...

Hi, I have been having problems with my PowerMac's superdrive ever since someone persuaded me to reflash the firmware to make it dual-layer, and I have finally decided to bite the bullet and replace it. However, I am confused with what interface I need on the drive. In the System Profiler...

Hello all, Yesterday when replacing a hard drive in an old G3 350mhz iMac that I have, I pressed the power button on and I got nothing. No boot chime, no display, nothing. After checking the memory and cables were properly connected I tried again, but once more got nothing. The only thing...
