what's going on guys this is Jonathan
here with tle gonna show you guys how to
upgrade your memory on the 2010 iMac now
this will work on both the 21 and a half
and the 27-inch models you're gonna need
a number two screwdriver and I also
learned on a small flathead will work as
well if you guys don't have a Phillips
sort of start there's three screws
simply just unscrew those you don't have
to worry too much about the screws
falling off or losing them because they
are intact with the actual cover now
once the cover is removed we're going to
pop out the little plastic tab if you
are upgrading all four slots you can
also use this to pull out the memory
since I'm only adding two I don't need
to remove anything go ahead and position
the member like you see in the video
with the biggest tab to the left now
you're gonna need to apply a little
force to pop it in that's what she said
and don't be afraid to give it a little
force like I said you're going to hear a
slight pop from there we're going to
take that plastic tab put it right back
in where we found it we're going to
rinse repeat and move on to the next
memory tab so like I mentioned same
thing the bigger tab on the left hand
side go ahead and put it in there and
like I said you're gonna need to put a
little bit of force because it does give
you a little bit of resistance so you
guys can see this is like super easy
install you guys were kind of scared or
you think you have to pay Apple to get
the extra memory it's completely untrue
you guys can do this yourself in about
ten minutes so all we got to do is put
the lid back on and we're all set to go
now that everything is installed y'all
ready to go boot up your iMac head over
to the finder bar select about this Mac
and make sure the new memory shows up so
you guys can see everything was done
correctly hope this helped hope you guys
learn from it I'll catch you guys later
