The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.3/14/10
Apple says my 2007-vintage Macbook Pro 15″ takes a maximum of 4 GB of RAM. That’s what it currently has.
Do you know if the MBP can take more RAM than that which Apple says it can? And if so, does the MBP actually make use of the extra RAM?

Whenever I want to watch a YouTube video, I get this weird YouTube page: video isn’t loading, comments are messed up, and it tells me to “Go Upgrade” — which I did.

I remember that in Leopard, if I typed “apple”, say, into Safari or Firefox, it would be smart enough to try “apple.com”.
Now in Snow Leopard it doesn’t.
Am I remembering correctly?
Is there a fix for that?
Thanks.

TextExpander just released a new version. In doing so they went from a System Preference (Preference Pane) application to a standard Mac application.
What’s the difference?
Can you make a standard application act as a System Preference application?

I did the upside down thing regularly but eventually nothing worked.
Is it possible to dis-assemble or is there some trick you know of?
Thank you.

Hi Gary, I subscribed to a lot of podcasts. Once I have watched or listened to them I want them to automatically delete from my iMac, but I can’t figure out how to do it. I did find this on the Apple help site, and I followed the directions, but they are still there.
