    iPad Pro IPAD Pro 9.7 - 2GB Ram and Safari tabs

    I was set to get the IPAD Pro 9.7 even with 2GB ram but my plan got halted after watching this youtube video showing how much better the IPAD Pro 12.9 with 4GB ram was against the Air2 with 2GB ram. I use my IPAD for Email, youtube, facebook but mainly for browsing and I open a LOT of tabs...

    Bluetooth not working after RAM upgrade on iMac (late 2012)

    Installed new RAM on my late 2012 21.5" i5 Intel iMac and (besides the fact that it's the worst design for any Mac for upgrading something simple like RAM) once reassembled, I no longer have Bluetooth. Bluetooth icon is grayed out with a black zig-zag through it and the status when clicked says...

    Upgrading from iPad 2 to iPad Mini 4 or iPad Pro 9.7

    I am finally upgrading from my iPad 2. I like the small form factor of the mini and Best buy has the mini 4 for $299.99 right now, but I also am intrigued by the 9.7 Pro for $599.99.

    32 gb memory into MBP 2012 13

    Hello! I'm curious about possibility of putting 32 gb of ram into my MBP 2012(mid, i7).

    RAM problem (built 12 of 2007)

    OK, I'm trying to upgrade a handful of iMacs that were built in 2007 which are running 3GB but say they can handle 4GB. I achieved the 4GB by dumbing down an equal number of 3GB machines. None of the upgraded machines boot, but will once I replace the 1GB RAM back. What am I doing wrong, or...

    PC3 8500 ram in '07 17" 2.4ghz macbook pro core2duo?

    Would a PC3 8500 ram card work in my mid 2007 17" 2.4ghz macbook pro core2duo? I realize apple specs call for pc2 5300 on the apple site but I'm hoping the pc3 8500 might operate anyways...maybe just not 'officially' to apples specs at the time. I've read that you can get a couple extra gigs of...
