Alright. Some quick and dirty iPhone shots of the memory upgrade!!


Ok. Here we go!

Step 1: SHUT DOWN you iMac
Step 2: UNPLUG your iMac (this step must be done!)
Step 3: Place your iMac FACE DOWN on a LINT and STATIC FREE cloth or towel
Step 4: You will notice a small button just above the plug prongs of your iMac. You will want to use a NON METALLIC object to press down on this button until the cover pops up. This button does take a bit of STEADY force. See photo below.

Step 5: Remove the tray when it pops up. The entire lid comes off. There are no hinges.

Step 6: There are TWO white levers marked with arrows pointing away from the memory sticks. Push the levers away and at the same time gently pull the levers up to raise the memory compartment for access.

Step 7: You may now remove or add memory. Please use GENTILE but FIRM pressure to remove or replace memory. It is actually hard to damage a memory chip, but still use some caution.
Step 8: Once you have made the desired changes to your memory you now reverse the process. Using the levers you may now push the memory bay back into your iMac using GENTLE but FIRM pressure.
Step 8: Replace your iMac cover with you guessed it GENTLE but FIRM pressure. You will really need to press the lid firmly. It is a very tight fit.
Step 9: Set your iMac back upright and plug the iMac back in.
Step 10: You may now turn your iMac back on and boot it up.
Step 11: Once your iMac is up and running you can check your memory status
Go to the Apple Menu. Then click About This Mac.Then at the top of the new window click Memory. If you did everything right you will see this.

This was my first attempt at doing this. It took me less than 5 minutes after i flipped my iMac face down.
So all in it took lets say 10 minutes and price wise was $148.00. Sure beats the hell out of the $600 Apple wishes to charge you for installing 32 gigs of memory.

Got out to do some looking around for some winter shooting areas. But started playing with a few cattails.

Quick question to any Mac users that find this thread. Anyone tried the Affinity Photo editor app? Its a RAW editor built for Mac at a whopping $49.99. I have been thinking about getting it as a back p if anything were to happen to my Adobe Creative Cloud account.

I have Affinity Photo for a few months now, I don't use it a lot, but when I need some of the features it has over Apple Aperture, it really comes in handy.
I got it at a discounted price and am happy with what I paid for it. I think you would be going backwards if you moved to Affinity from CC, but if you don't like paying the continuous rental, it might be worth a look.
Heres a thread I started a while back- http://nikonites.com/computers-and-...ng-affinity-photo-software.html#axzz4NPKe0C6a

Ok....while I do like Affinity, I have stuck my toe in the waters that is Capture One Pro 9. And I must say.....I like the way it feels.

Wow Doug, sorry to hear about the back injury. Hope you are back on the mend. Someone has to take care of all of those pups.

My back is an old SI joint injury from getting hit by a texting driver. High sided my motorcycle. It crops up every few years to remind me to take better care of myself.

The smart phone has forced me off my bike for good. Totaled 2 bikes in 2 months from texting drivers. I hung up the helmet.
