hmmmm, then they may be a bit behind their times or extra careful. THe staff at my local store said they wouldn't do it unless there was a fault or unless I paid extra for both the ram and the service, even though at the time my mac mini was covered by warentee.

That may be true, but the sales staff at the apple stores are still telling people they can't change the ram themselves. Or at least the sales people at my apple store are still saying that. Just saying. Kimber On 3/22/11, Tim Grady<tfgrady1@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:I think all you guys talk about models is nuts. Now-a-days, and this is what the person seemed to be talking about, Apple has made it extremely easy to change ram, going so far as to premote it in there ads for say the new Mac mini and even printing directions somewhere on the case of most if not all newer Macs. The person asked about how hard it was to change RAM on a mac and was considdering switching to a Mac. This implied to me getting a newer Mac. They didn't seem to want to know about older macs or how it was hard to change RAM on an older Mac. Further more they stated that they had done this on machines before. It is my experience that if you can change RAM on any other box then you can certainlyb do it on the mac. By the way, I am running an Imac built in 2008 with the directions for changing RAM clearly printed on the back of it with 1 screw to remove to access the RAM. -----Original Message----- From: macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Travis Siegel Sent: Monday, March 21, 2011 11:05 AM To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Upgrading Ram. Oh, and on the ppc imacs, there's a whole lot mor than just 1 screw to remove. Of course, the later models are better about this. Really though, folks, if you have newer models of macs, and you like tinkering, then by all means, do your upgrades if you feel comfortable with it, but older models, unless you're a seasoned pro, I suggest you leave it for others, some of those machines are a serious pain. I've upgraded ppc imacs, intel (first generation) intel minis, macbooks, and even g4 ppc powerbooks, and they're all different, and it varies from model to model as to what needs done to get at the parts you want to upgrade, so don't think that it's all for one and one for all once you've done one upgrade, the next one may not be quite that simple.Click on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Click on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover
