That's indication wheel of dead. Mean ur installation freezes. Just do a reboot n try again.

Most cases nope just try to do an update again that's all.

10.5 Original DVD basically how much it wil cost me?? n where can i get it. is it only can get it through ebay??
or can i just copy if someone have the retail DVD?? thx

@pezal. I have no idea, no idea and no freaking idea. its an OS that was phased out 11 months ago... I don't think anyone is keeping stock.

if you copy someone's retail DVD, that's piracy... and that's not allowed on this forum.

Don't scare our fren lar. U may try ur luck here see if they still have any old stock or u may try go to machines or Mac city if they have any.

Continuing on my problem: 8GB ram but only 4GB shown on Activity Monitor.

I have downloaded TinkerTool and in Diagnostics sections, it says "RAM usable by operating system: 4.0GB". But I thought SL can do more than 4GB isn't it? Up to 32GB, right?

The best u may contact apple direct as ur new notebook come with 90days free support.

I went into bios and discovered under system memory, usable size is 4088MB. And went to Memory Remap Feature: PCI MMIO Allocation: 4GB to 3328MB. Apa ni?

@n8210
I'd recommend you contact AppleCare directly : 1800 803 638.

Self settle more challenging and learn more mar. Next time can be a bit more sifu level. Usually customer service will ask customer to bring in to them. Learn nothing. It's all about learning when I switch from Windows to mac.

thx a lot bro...

yup..i oso think hitachi..same with my original HD....

I've solved my ram problem. Turns out the 4 sticks of ram cannot work with each other, although all 4 are Kingston, DDR3, 1333MHz. In fact, 3 sticks are similar while the 4th which is also Kingston, but has a different hologram sticker. And if you say that's the odd one causing problem, well no. This is what I did:-

First two sticks coupled with another brand new set Corsair 2x2GB = it works, total 8GB shows up in bios and in activity monitor.

Second two sticks with the different hologram coupled with Corsair = it works too, 8GB in total.

But if you put all 4 sticks of Kingston together = it does not work, only 4GB ram.

Any one knows why? I sure don't.

I need opinions. My friend has an extra iMac G3 (only faulty GPU) and thought of throwing it away. I'm not a hardware person, so I'm just wondering how much would it cost to salvage this piece of antique?

yeah, its an antique. no external display. better to turn it into an iPad holder or something

What if I want to fix it? How much would it cost? Everything is alright except GPU.

um... that model is nearly 7 years old. Apple doesn't make parts anymore.
so you might be looking at a RM1000 + repair cost because the GPU is part of the main logicboard, and those are not cheap

Can i upgrade my i7 mbp with this model ram>???

Why would you wanna waste money upgrading from a 2x2GB DDR3-1066 to a 2x2GB DDR3-1333 that may or may not work on an MBP...?

If you think a memory speed increase will speed up your real world application justifiable by RM 600+ bucks... good luck...
