I want to upgrade my macbook pro 15-inch i7 2.3GHz memory and I want to know what is the maximum RAM it could take

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It looks like you have got an Early 2011 or newer MacBook Pro, so you can use 16 GB of RAM. You can buy more RAM at OWC or Crucial. Remember that you cannot upgrade RAM in MacBooks Pro with Retina display
In case you have got a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro, you can only install 8 GB of RAM

  • I want to upgrade my MacBook pro ram

    I want to upgrade my MacBook pro 17'' ram. I have 2X2 GB 1066 MHz and I want to go to 2X4GB but I can't find any with 1066 MHz I found only 1333 MHz. Will it work on my MacBook pro late 2009 unibody 3,06 Ghz Core 2 Duo

    do not use anything other than the exact specs.
    It MAY work with the 1333MHz (the 1333 will be downclocked) but you will have problems VERY probably.
    You have to replace the 2X2 with 2X4.
    Buy the best there is: Crucial, OWC: the price is very low. And yes the right spec is for sale everywhere.
    Find a respectable internet seller in your area, and buy it: but research the Crucial and/or OWC sites for the exact specification, they have configurators where you put in your computer model.
    Replacing is easy, you have to have the right screwdriver, there are 3 screws that are longer, remember where they are.

    will i have any problem like compatibility??
    thank you.

    A Mid 2010 MacBook Pro supports 16 GB of memory without any problem. Macs are "special" about memory because some brands work without any problem and others don't work. That's why I recommend you to buy the memory from OWC or Crucial in order to make sure that you get compatible memory > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3

  • I want to upgrade my macbook pro mid 2010's ram

    I want to upgrade my macbook pro's ram to 8gb's I don't want to spend $200 on ram from apple, i Know that with buying it from apple, if it doesnt work they will do it for you, and it guranteed to work, i just don't have the money to do that.
    they outlined how to do it here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270#link1
    and i found some memmory here
    http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=2F9CE069A5CA7304
    I am confident in my computer knowledge that I can install ram in a mac, i've done it to dozens of pc's
    so what i'm looking for is reassurance before I do anything thank you

    There should no problem in installing 8 GB RAM in your MBP.  Crucial is one of the best sources of RAM for Macs.  Now if you are so inclined, you can install 16 GB from OWC, the other reliable source for Mac RAM.

    One purchase is sufficient if both computers are owned by you and the ML version was purchased as an upgrade.

    When you order a MBP you can have it delivered at any Apple retail store.  When you get the e-mail that the MBP is ready to be picked up, you have options to enter in the rersponse if you or someone else will pick it up.  You will have to fill in some required information that will identify that person to the store personnel. 
    I had my last MBP delivered to the local store, but I picked it up.

  • Did MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) support memory: 8GB 1333MHz DDR3

    Did MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) support memory: 8GB 1333MHz DDR3??

    The correct RAM specifications for your 2010 MBP are:  204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
    What you quote may or may not work, and if it does seem to work, it may not work correctly.  For one to deviate from the correct specifications often leads to unnecessary complications.  One only has to explore many posts on this subject on this forum.
    Best places to get RAM for your MBP are from OWC or Crucial.
    Note, I have a 2010 MBP and I have made said upgrade.

  • I have a Serial Number which worked fine on my MacBook Pro but does not work on my desktop PC (Win 7).  What is the problem?

    I have a Serial Number which worked fine on my MacBook Pro but does not work on my desktop PC (Win 7).  What is the problem?

    You haven't identified the version so I can't tell if offering you contact options for Adobe Support will be of use to you.  But they will likely be your only hope of getting resolution unless you just happen to be using the wrong number as the serial number.

  • Ever since last night my macbook pro 13 inch has been doing weird and not so wonderful things.

    Ever since last night my macbook pro 13 inch has been doing weird and not so wonderful things. It will only power up with the power pack attached as soon as the battery pack is removed my lappy goes dead. The charge icon shows when its connected. Also if the lid is shut while it is still operating and not been shut down it completely shuts down, whether or not it has been shut down properly it takes 4-5 attempts of opening and closing the lid to get it to start up. It only seems to restart with the lid closed and only reason I know it has is because the apple icon lights up. When I finally get it started up the clock has reset itself back to 2008, requests for internet access pops up, outlook is not allowing me to delete emails, etc. Help!!!
    TIA

    yea man you need  to take it to the Apple store ASAP. This is why I bought the Apple Care warranty when I bought my Macbook pro. At the Apple store they will trouble shot your problem and if it cant be fixed you may end up with a new lappy toppy good luck my friend, hope everything goes good, and your partner isn't to badly damaged

    I am installing itunes to a laptop and have not sync device to this lap. It is saying that it must first restore device. The problem is I have over 2000 pictures and don't want to lose them. Now my phone is in restore mode and I don't know what to do. I don't want to proceed and loose these very important photos of family. What do I do to get it out of restore mode? My phone will not allow me to do anything to it at this point. I have the itunes downloaded on the laptop now. When I push the button for the phone it just shows Itunes and plug. I can't even call or open phone up.

    Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

    Using a computer, other than the one you have regularily been Syncing and Backing up to, was the begining of your issue.
