What functions does RAM peform in a computer?
RAM stores information for actively running programs so that data can be accessed and used rapidly. Contrast it to the hard drive where it has to physically write and read every bit of information, which would be far too slow to use for RAM.
A network in which the central computer is a host to a cluster of other computers that in turn are hosts is called a network?
A hierarchical network
What holds the data and programs being currently used by the CPU?
Data and programs currently being used by the CPU are in RAM, or random access memory. Parts of them may also be in the cache memory, which is a faster, specialized version of RAM. RAM is a temporary area for storing running programs. It is usually lost when you turn off the computer.

How do you run the data on your computer?
Information on a computer is stored in the hard drive. When you turn on your computer it takes information from the hard drive and puts it in the RAM (random access memory). In the RAM information like operating system and programs are run. When you turn off the computer the information in the RAM is either saved back to the hard drive or deleted.

Where do you find home sharing on iTunes?
You click on the Advanced button and then go down to turn on home sharing (I suggest doing this on the computer that has all the music on it 1st). You have to put in your apple account information.

What is the different between volatile and non volatile?
Volatile memory is temporary memory that is lost when then computer is shut off (RAM). Non-volatile is permanent memory that that holds its data even when the computer is shut off (ROM, NVRAM). Volatile memory is memory that disappears after you turn off your computer RAM is a big example of that because all the memory on RAM disappears after you turn off your computer. Non-Volatile memory is memory that even if you turn off your computer it will still be there. A huge example of that is hard drive memory. volatile= disappears after the computer is turned off Non-Volatile= never disappears.
Where The information stored in RAM is erased when the computer is turned off?
Main computer memory is called volatile memory. It holds data only as long as it is provided power. When you turn off the computer, you remove power from the memory chips and they loose the ability to hold data. If you want to keep your information, ensure you save it to the computer hard drive before you switch off the computer.
