I am following the directions for replacing memory on my iMac mid 2011 partMC813LL/A and got to the "gently pull the tabs to get the old memory out" and cannot get the memory out. Any tips?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Pull it hard. Sometimes it is quite difficult to take the RAM out of the slot, but it gets out after pulling hard. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1423?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#4
This can be quite difficult since "gently" usually doesn't work. You will need to pull pretty hard, gently rocking back and forth, but being careful not to tear the tabs which will only make removal harder. If you have no success or tear the pull-tab, then you can coax the modules out by carefully gripping the edge nearest you with a needle-nosed plier. It's a good idea to use some sort of cushioning between the plier and the module edge so as not to damage the modules.
