Before installing memory please check to see that the memory you purchased is correct. Too many people assume that they have purchased the correct RAM only to find that their computer will no longer boot. Be sure to check the size (how many GB) speed  (1067 MHz) and type (DDR3) all of this can effect your computer. Just because it fits in the slot does not mean it is correct. All the information you need for your mac can be found under the apple in about this Mac.

People ask me all the time why they should buy an iPhone rather than an Android and here is my answer. I bought an Android to use with my Consumer Cellular service and I find it’s not very easy to use. Even hanging up a miscalled number is not very easy to do. The ringer has it’s own mind and I have tried several different rings finally found one that works but text messages often give me no clue that I have one. I have been given an iPhone 4 but Consumer Cellular does not support it without modifying the SIM card and jumping though some hoops. So when the Droid finally drives me nuts I’ll take the time to switch over to it.

Correctly using disk images on your computer is something everyone needs to do. Most folks just double click on the .dmg and never drag the program from the image to their hard drive. So everytime they launch their program from the Dock if the image full is not mounted it mounts and then launches the application. At a client site the other day I ran into 25 mounted disk images on the desktop. So if you click on that .dmg and it mounts a disk image on your desktop. (Note a disk image looks like a flash drive and can sometimes be colored.) After you install the program or drag to program to your Applications folder, please eject it by dragging it to the trash. If it disappears from the desktop you have succeeded in dismounting it.

As it has been awhile since I have said this, leave some free space on your hard drives, certain operations require room before they can be performed. Here is a small listing of those items: burning a CD or DVD, installing a System update, and using programs like Photoshop. All of the listed require a lot of space for a short period of time. I suggest at least 10% of the hard drive space be kept free.
