MBP + a kit of RAM that is not supposed to be supported =?

So, I bought a used MBP which worked great and I am happy with it, although I don't want to increase the RAM of 4 GB to 16 GB, although Apple says you can improve only to 8 GB, but some in the community say that you can add it only to 8 GB of RAM.

"4GB (2 GB SO - DIMMS) of DDR3 memory at 1333 MHz; two SO-DIMM slots support up to 8 GB"says here: MacBook Pro (15 inch, late 2011) - technical specifications

By Apple themselves.

Who am I supposed to listen to? Apple or the Apple community? Or I understand that bad, and it means that I can pass it to 8 GB on each RAM slot? I need clarification.

Also, I can assume that I can upgrade or downgrade my HDD/SSD to the great ever I want, as long as the OS fits on it and the car is part of the macbook? As we shall throw a 3 TB SSD for an example (not sure 100% if we exist, but assume that), he enrolled in the macbook pro normally, I install own El Capitan or everything that I have a backup, it works normally? Right?

Or in a word: are there restrictions for the storage disk, other than that it fits in the cell and is big enough for the operating system?

According to my technical information:

Maximum memory (Real) 16 GB 8 GB (Apple)
Memory locations 2-204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

However, this means that it should work for you, but there is no guarantee that it will work.

  • Pavilion g6-2333el: g6-2333 el Pavilion RAM slot does not

    Hi, I recently decided to update RAM of my Paviliion g6-2333el by adding a second 4 GB of RAM.

    I inserted the new RAM in the RAM secondary housing, but the PC seemed unable to find. Fearing that I might you bought a RAM that was not compatible with my laptop, I tried to delete the original RAM and put another in his place: the new RAM has been correctly identified.

    Seeing that the new RAM was indeed compatible, I tried to insert the old one in secondary housing, and the result was the same: the RAM was not considered by the PC.

    I noticed the following about this secondary property of RAM:

    (1) the RAM seems to be inserted less deeply than in the other slot

    (2) the RAM is very easily put out of position when he is in this niche (as in, just a little touch will make it fall out of the connector)

    (3) in contrast with the other location, when the metal arms that hold the RAM in place are released RAM no "eject" on its own

    Someone has an idea what could be the problem? The connector is broken or it's just that for some reason any RAM can't stay in place?

    Try blowing the slot with compressed air. Insert the module at a 45 degree angle and don't hesitate to push a little once you are sure that the notch is aligned with the tab into the slot...

  • Lenovo G560 2nd RAM slot does not recognize.

    Hello.

    What can I do to fix this?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Tal_Eklkanar,

    Welcome to the community,

    Try restarting the machine with only the ram that is not recognized at the time.

    RAM can be tricky so try to play with different configurations, a place in the first slot and then swap until you see the machine recognizes them both. Sometimes, it just takes a little game.

  • Oracle 11.2 - perform parallel DML on a table that is not partitioned with LOB column

    Hello

    Since I wanted to demonstrate the new enhancements of Oracle 12 c on SECUREFICHIERS, I tried to use PDML declarations on a table that is not partitioned with LOB column, in Oracle 11 g and Oracle 12 c releases. The Oracle 11.2 SECUREFICHIERS and large objects Developer Guide January 2013 said clearly:

    Parallel execution of the following DML operations on tables with LOB columns is supported. These operations performed in parallel run only mode when it is run on a partitioned table. The DML statements on tables not partitioned with LOB columns continue to run in serial execution mode.

    • INSERT SELECT AS
    • CREATE TABLE AS SELECT
    • DELETE
    • UPDATE
    • MERGE (conditionally UPDATE and INSERT)
    • Multi-table INSERT

    So, I created and filled a simple table with a BLOB column:

    SQL> CREATE TABLE T1 (A BLOB);
    Table created.
    

    Then, I tried to see the execution of a parallel ABOLITION plan:

    SQL> EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
      2  delete /*+parallel (t1,8) */ from t1;
    
    Explained.

  • Buttons that do not change subtitles are turn on subtitles

    As the subject says, my blu - ray CS5 has a drop down where the buttons that are not supposed to change the subtitles change subtitles.  Until this problem is corrected, I can't send my project, so I hope someone here will know what is happening or has a workaround solution.  (If this workaround is to Blustreak Premaster or plotter, feel free to suggest because I purchashed both.)

    The pop-up menu of my project has review power and subtitle buttons off/English/french/German/Spanish subtitles.  The comment 'off' button is set to link to itself, but change the audio track to A1 (audio main without comment).  On the other hand, the comment button 'on' is set to link to itself, but change the audio track to A2, which is the commentary track.  These buttons work fine to change the audio track * BUT * they also reset the subtitle track to S1 (English), even if the buttons are on subtitle: no change in the dialog box specify the link... .

    To help in the diagnosis, I have provided two screenshots that show the pop-up menu and what it is defined on, and the timeline he manipulates so you can see the audio tracks and all the tracks of four subtitles.

    encore_cs5_button_changing_subtitles.png

    encore_cs5_timelineWithSubtitles.png

    I could really use some help here, I have worked on this project for months and I really need to ship it.

    Hello

    The bugs of audio and subtitles are not fixed in CS5.5. There are some limited cases which cannot function properly, but none that still require recalled a stream of data selection and a link to another button on the same page and other cases also fail. Our "12 Tangos" tutorial shows how to fix errant orders with tracer BluStreak:

    http://rivergatesoftware.com/Tutorial-12tangos

    It has long been a practice common on almost any DVD with audio tracks or subtitles of camps to have a configuration menu, where the user can choose 5.1 audio stereo vs and to play a subtitle or not. The user is allowed to make their choice, and then back to a main menu, or to play the movie directly. It has never been possible in yet for Blu - ray.

    There are still two major flaws in the navigation code still 5.1. The worst is trying to link to another button on the same page. The command still includes the page number by mistake. The specifications of the Blu - ray indicates that the page number should not be changed, even to himself. In other words, the command button/page must only call button. The result of this error is that the button order flow is abandoned, and all the following commands are never executed.

    The second flaw is that all orders of stream still selection always specify all the parameters of control flow, including audio, subtitle, angle, and menu (IG). Because does not yet support multiple angles, or change the menu to another stream flow, and flows of given numbers are 0, which do not exist, most players ignore these errors. But it's just bad programming. And in the case of the subtitle stream selection, which is why still "no change" preference for subtitles does not work. He will always try to select the subtitle 0 that does not exist, and most of the players will play subtitle 1.

    We have offered to help Adobe in fixing these and other errors of navigation still Blu - ray, including reading the chapter and many others, but so far they have not shown an interest in working with us.

    Kind regards

  • I have a HL-DT-ST DVD - RAM GH40L SCSI CdRom that do not work.

    I have a HL-DT-ST DVD - RAM GH40L SCSI CdRom that do not work. Device Manager indicates "a driver (service) for this device has been disabled. Now, the drive does not at all.  Any ideas on how to solve this problem? I can't get any DVD or CD to run on my PC now.

    Hello

    Please make all below even if you have done some before as it is often the set of operations which solves
    the question.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable or
    slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    Hope these helps.

  • Lenovo B590: RAM upgrade is not detected

    Hi all

    Yesterday, I bought a chip of PC3-12800 CL11 204 pins SODIMM RAM Kingston 4 GB of my local store of hardware because I wanted to update my Lenovo B590 memory, which - by default - has 4 GB of DDR3 RAM installed. I have double checked if memory was compatible with my B590 calling Lenovo support and searching the Web (which gives this message, for example). The two sources confirmed the upgrade should not be a problem if I did not exceed the limit of 8GB. However, after that I had plugged the RAM, I found that it was not recognized by my OS (Windows) and my BIOS. They are always saying that I only have the factory installed 4096MB.
    How can I make my system use this RAM upgrade? Please help, you have my gratitude!

    Note: when I determine which RAM to buy, I've checked also which type of memory was already installed in my B590 by the manufacturer. I unscrewed my notebook and found a chip, brand Hynix memory, I assumed it was a single 4GB chip. However, the search results for of his series on the web show it is in fact a DDR3 SDRAM 2 GB chip. I checked my hardware, but could not see any other chip (even though I'm 100% sure that my system has 4 GB of RAM installed by the manufacturer). If this has nothing to do with the above? Thanks again!

    RESOLVED: The RAM chip is not inserted properly in the additional location. All works fine now.

  • Network cable unplugged, but I promise you that's not!

    I connect my computer to my Linksys router (this computer will not connect wirelessly).  Unfortunately, my computer thinks that the network cable is unplugged.  Let me give a few details before you continue!

    Router: Linksys WRT54GL v1.1, with the firmware update

    Ethernet card: Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller (with up-to-date drivers)

    Computer OS: Windows 7 64-bit

    And now for the fun part.  First of all, I thought it was a bad ethernet cable, so I tried another and another still.  The cable doesn't seem to be the problem.

    Secondly, I thought it might well be my ethernet card.  I plugged the ethernet cable from my modem cable directly on my ethernet card and was instantly rewarded with a connection.  With this, I noticed that my ethernet card is not the problem.

    Third, I thought, well, it must be the router.  I tried all four ports on the back of the router to see if it was bad.  None of them worked.  The router shows not all lights for ports 1, 2, 3 or 4, regardless of where I plug. Progress!  Of course, it is the router, no?  In order to ensure, I ran a cable ethernet to the router to a laptop and has been awarded once more with a connection.  If the router is not the problem.

    After doing some reading here and abroad, I have reduced my 'speed and Duplex"to 10 Mbps half Duplex.  Who has not solved the problem.

    Any help would be immensely appreciated, because I'm quite frustrated.  Please let me know if I can provide more information for you.  Thank you in advance for your help!

    My friend is a very nice person and so is his first wife. I get along with two of them very well, but they have been quarreling all the time while they were married. They are now divorced and married to new partners and the two relations are developing.

    What this has to do with your problem? Well, your systematic troubleshooting effort eliminated all the simple causes of failure but it has not examined the issues of compatibility. I suspect that NETWORK card in your PC is just out of tolerance or is your router. Other devices can be a little more tolerant (as new friends partners), but together they won't work. How to test this? Here are a few options:

    (a) borrow a switch/router of different brand of a friend.

    (b) connect the two PCs on a switch that is not the same brand as your router, and then plug the switch on the router.

    Please post the result here!
