Can I install 20 GB of Ram on my iMac 27 inch 2011

I just upgraded my iMac 27 inch 2011 from 4 GB to 16 GB model. I installed two chips of 8GB. I can also install the 2 other 2 GB chips? Or is - better than for a total of 16 GB to 32 GB on this machine. Apple staff told me that it is not good to use too much Ram on my iMac, because it would be somehow the cause of the problems on the system.

I am running OS X El Capitan.

Thanks for your help.

16 GB max is all that 2011 will focus on the iMac. It has 4 total slots but put the RAM in the empty slots will not do anything.

    I have a faulty ram (top) slot for a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 "i5.  Can I install a 8 GB Ram in the slot below or is maximally 4 GB?

    This was after the 3 beep error and I couldn't restart the Mac with one of the 2 GB of Ram into the lower slot.

    Is there a way to test if the top housing is faulty or just dirty?

    Thank you

    Yes, the MBP will work with a single module of RAM installed, but there will be a slight performance decrease.  A MBP 2012 will accept a module of 8 GB RAM.

    Is there a way to test if the top housing is faulty or just dirty?

    Install each RAM module individually in each slot, leaving the other empty.  If the two RAM modules work in a slot and not the other, the slot is faulty.  Sometimes the adjustment screw can resuscitate the slot.  If this is not the case, make an appointment at an Apple store for a FREE evaluation.

    And just out of curiosity is the scalable processor? Highly doubt id end up doing but would be nice to know?

    I hope someone can help

  • Can I install 4 GB of RAM in my Satellite A100-033?

    I have a Satellite A100-033 (PSAANE-03J02GEN). The manual says that it will support only 2 GB of RAM. Does anyone know if it will support actually 4GB? I installed 2 x 1 GB instead of the supplied 2x512MB and am trying to install 2 x 1 GB? It will work, or is there a restriction in the motherboard or BIOS which means that most RAM is recognized? Can anyone help?

    Hello

    If the manual says you can improve it only 2 GB of RAM, you can then use only 2 x 1 GB modules.
    But if you insert 2 x 2 GB RAM modules then either your laptop does not start or it might start but all of the 4 GB would not be recognized.

    Generally, there are Windows 32 bit OS (no matter if it s Vista or XP) would use and recognize only same 3.2 GB 4 GB RAM max would be inserted.

    And of course, there are a lot of restrictions on the RAM;
    If the chipset and BIOS does not allow 4 GB of RAM, so you wouldn't be able to use it.

    See you soon

  • How can I install software on a disc for an iMac 17 "2006

    I have a 17 "iMac Core duo 2.0 end of 2006 model A1208 (EMC2114)

    The hard drive does not so I replaced it with a Seagate 320 GB Firmware RP13

    I also upgraded the RAM to 4 GB DDR 2 665 years.

    In the diagnosis of the disk utility window, I checked all the components, optical drive, ram etc, all looks fine.

    Whenever I try to install OSX 10.5 software all that he says; Mac OS x cannot install software on this computer

    Then I go into disk utility formatted the disk, I tried Fat32 and journaled Mac

    In both cases, all I get is the option of disk utility.

    I tried to install 10.3 or 10.4 but with both of them, he never read the DVD

    I went on this loop has dozed times, I also tried the option key or command in fact all of the options that I could online, none of them gave me different results.

    I don't have the diskettes of origin provided with the computer as it was given to me.

    Thanks in advance

    If you use gray installation disks from another computer, it will not work. You shoukd probably get a detail of disk in Snow Leopard http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

    You can use disk utility to partition as 1 partition using the GUID partition scheme and format as Mac OS Extended journaled. Then install OS X and update using software update.

  • Can I install more memory on end of 2015 iMac?

    Can I put my 8 GB memory at least 16 GB on my iMac end of 2015? I'll even take to the Apple store and ask them to do so is possible. I sort of remember, however, that memory upgrades are impossible to do on the end of 2015 iMacs.  I'm playing the game Blizzard on my Intel Core i5 Overwatch to 3.1 GHz with 8 GB of memory. Parallels (virtualisation company says that I need more memory in this game of Blizzard. I am disappointed that I bought this game, Parallels desktop 12 and 10 Windows and can not play. Leah

    As a side note: why Apple does not have a computer game descent?

  • Cannot install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 on my iMac CD

    I can't install Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 on my iMac that I just bought. The software is brand new, the CD should appear as follows very well. The instructions "on the screen" instillation pop up. I got the software a minute, he bought new but waited until I could afford an iMac. Any suggestions?

    How do you use a CD with a new imac? They did not have drives of drives over the years.

    Try to download from here and use the serial number of your boxed version:

    Download Photoshop Elements products | 9, 8, 7

    However, there are some other things to try. First, PES 9 has mac and windows. If the drive is not mounted on the desktop, then you are wrong one. Pick up the other and when it appears on the desktop, double-click it.  Then double-click on Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, double-click installation/configuration (do not remember who he was for PES 9, sorry). There is no automatic for PSE for mac installation, since Mac have no function for security reasons AutoPlay, and there isn't any window with instructions, either. You keep double clicking until it installs.
