Q: Solutions for getting more memory
-
Oct 19, 2013 4:51 PMby Carolyn Samit,Sounds like you need to upgarde your Mac OS X in order to run the latest version of iTunes in order to sync an iOS device.
Which OS X is currently installed ?
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
Updating iOS software is not a memory issue. It's a storage issue.

Are you looking at the requirements for OS X Mountain Lion?

Both model years can take a total of 6 GBs of RAM.
I advise installing the entire 6 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
OWC has the 6 GB RAM kit. You just need to use their website tool to determine what year and model ID your iMac is.

RAM is user installable and very easy for a newbie or novice Mac user to install.
Good Luck!
