2012 iMac RAM Upgrade Maybe a better answer: the stock RAM should come preinstalled correctly for dual channel mode, and you don't need to move it. Just add the new sticks in the open slots. |

2012 iMac RAM Upgrade This page hasn't been updated yet, but it will likely be one pair (e.g. the original 2x4GB) in the top slots and the other pair (e.g. 2x8GB) in the bottom slots. |

What is the difference between the iPad Mini model numbers A1454 and A1455? And I have absolutely no idea what MM stands for. |

How to use the balance on your apple account in app store? Which region are you in / which iTunes store are you using? Initially, gift cards weren't redeemable for apps in the Canadian iTunes store, most likely for sales tax reasons. This may still be the case in your region. You should check the fine print on your gift card and see if it excludes apps. If that's the case, there is no way to purchase apps with that balance. |

How to debug SSH outgoing timeout Have you made sure it's your machine specifically, not your internet connection or the server you're trying to connect to? It's relatively unlikely for your machine to be blocking outgoing connections. Most firewalls only care about incoming connections, OS X's built-in one included. Can you test with another computer on the same network, and another server that's known to have SSH enabled? |

terminal ask for ssh passphrase every time Nevermind, I was trying to guess why it was being triggered, but it looks like it automatically tries to load an SSH key if it finds one in ~/.ssh/id_rsa. Did you generate an SSH key for something? |

Which Macs support HDMI with ethernet? I don't know for sure, but I suspect that this feature isn't exposed or supported at all. I've certainly never seen HDMI show up as a network interface. If the TV has an ethernet port, you'll probably have a much easier time just using that. |

How do I use/enable Tor when using Terminal? It depends on the script. It would have to be written to work with a SOCKS proxy. |

Delayed, undesirable sleep on de-powering MBP retina with ML It might be worth running a command like pmset -g log | grep -E '^.{24} Sleep ' in Terminal to hopefully see what the sleep cause was. |

Syncing non-Amazon purchased eBooks between Kindle, iPad, and iPhone As explained in the other answer, it's very easy to add ebooks to Amazon's cloud storage as personal documents. From that point on they're treated no different from purchased ebooks. That answer does need to be edited as Send to Kindle also supports mobi and AZW files. |

How does one access Team Foundation Server from an iDevice? I assume TFS refers to Team Foundation Server. It's an unusual acronym around here so it might be good to edit and clarify that. |

Can I prevent a remote Mac from entering sleep via a remote ssh connection? I don't have time to write this as a full answer, but caffeinate is a command-line tool built-in to 10.8 that can also be used to prevent sleep temporarily. |

Serial-Ethernet or Serial-WiFi (or Serial-Bluetooth?) on OS X Yeah, I'm assuming that the networked adapters would only allow one connection at a time just because that's what serial devices expect. They could design something to get around that limitation, but that takes effort to get right and I always assume that hardware manufacturers will do the minimum possible. |

Serial-Ethernet or Serial-WiFi (or Serial-Bluetooth?) on OS X That's right, it would be identical to hardwired, as far as the software is concerned (in theory, ethernet/wifi would work the same, but they'd need drivers first). I'm not sure how or if Android handles SPP. Bluetooth would definitely be limited to one device at a time, but I'm not sure ethernet/wifi would allow more than one either, even though NMEA is unidirectional. |

identify if Filevault is enabled on remote Mac Not that I know of. If you want to check, you could do a backup with Time Machine, enable/disable FileVault, and then use tmutil compare to see if any relevant-looking files have changed. But there's nothing I'm aware of. |

Setting up a special secondary display on iMac DisplayLink is unnecessary here, the iMac has 1 or 2 Thunderbolt ports that can be used as Mini-DisplayPort for external displays. I don't understand the question, it's just a matter of obtaining a display and plugging it in. Mini-DisplayPort adapters are cheap and readily available. |

Can i use my old MacBook charger on my new Mac? @octern That's pretty much what happens - I've experienced it too. My Mac is aware of my adapter's wattage (it's shown in System Profiler under Power) and while they don't recommend it, they've obviously designed the power supply to avoid overloading the adapter. I believe it will even draw extra power from the battery if the adapter can't provide enough. |

Hardware virtualization is not supported on MacBookPro 2010 It would be useful to know exactly which model you have, particularly which CPU. |

1920 x 1200 resolution monitor with VGA not detected by Mac OS X 10.7.2 That's simply not true. The resolution available with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter is 1920 x 1200. 1920x1200 works fine over VGA here. |
