is possible "update" to 4GB in 1 bank.....and 4 GB in the other bank? = 8 GB
I don´t know if my laptop can have 8GB RAM. I read the manual but I cant found information about this
can you help me please?
THANKS!!!!!!
sorry my english

HI
thanks for you aswer!!!!!!
about the manual...I see that you say right now in my manual

Removing/reinstalling RAM on Retina MBPs - possible?

Hey guys. I'm probably in a relatively unique situation here. Purchased 2.3GHz rMBP when it first came out, and got the 16GB RAM upgrade. Fast-forward a few months, and it slipped out of its case while I was walking down the street and the screen shattered and case was severely damaged. I then purchased a 2.4GHz 2013 rMBP with 8GB of RAM. The damaged rMBP is still functioning fine - I/O still works and the SSD is working fine, too, so I managed to migrate across using a Thunderbolt cable.
I'll be removing the SSD shortly and putting it into an OWC enclosure so I have a fast portable external drive.
My question is whether or not it's possible to remove the 16GB of RAM in the damaged rMBP (remember, only the screen was damaged here) and install it into the new rMBP in place of the current 8GB.
Haven't managed to find any definitive info. I know Apple has said it's non-upgradeable, but my understanding is that that is primarily because the RAM (just like the SSD) is proprietary. Given I have spare RAM sitting in the damaged rMBP, I imagine it's probably not that difficult to remove and reinstall in the new rMBP?
Any input welcome. Cheers.

Nope. The latest models have on-board RAM. No memory slots. The RAM really is not upgradeable and has nothing to do with it being proprietary.

Too much ram? Is this possible?

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro 17" 2.33 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
My computer seems to take a long time to render or export video from FCP.
Someone told me that my Laptop can only be upgraded to 3GB of ram, and that having 4 GB could be slowing it down.
Is this possible?
These are my other system settings.
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro2,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.33 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP21.00A5.B08
SMC Version (system): 1.14f5

Please let me know if I am using too much ram.
Thanks,
Jamie

Well, it's true that a MBP2,1 only supports 3GB of RAM. But the only thing that should mean is that the last 1GB can't be addressed. It shouldn't slow down your system, because your system shouldn't even "know" it's there.
And if there was an issue with RAM addressing, it should display itself as system instability, not system slowness, I would think. RAM doesn't work like that.
Now if you have the wrong kind of RAM (doesn't match the bus speed) or mismatched RAM sticks (different speeds), then you could have speed issues, since the RAM will all have to synchronize to the slowest supported clock speed.

Soldering additional RAM to ibook G4 possible?

Hello,
is it possible to soder additonal RAM to an ibook G4. The ibook 12" 1,2GHZ 2004 model logic board has RAM soldered on the bottom side, but not on the to side, but the later 1,33GHZ mid 2005 has. So I was wondering, if one could solder chips on this.
Look at this picture http://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/jUPecNjJcjbcsWXB.medium
Yes, I know, I can add 1GB as a module in the slot, but that makes 1,25GB RAM and this way it would get 1,5GB (just like the later ibook).
There is someone in the archive who had this idea, but he did not report back. https://discussions.apple.com/message/11102805?searchText=Soldering%20additional %20RAM%20to%20ibook#11102805
I got an ibook from Ebay that was said to be defective, but it isn't, it is just a lose cable. I got it for 22,-EUR, so not much money would be burned, on the other hand, selling it working might get me 60,-EUR, so actually that would be 60,-EUR lost.
Hm, I actually wanted it for parts for my ibook 1,33GHz, but the ebay description was wrong and it turned out to be the 1,2GHz model as described above and that for example has a different Airport card.
What am I gonna do, I don't know:
1. tinker
2. upgrade the combo drive with a spare Dual Layer Drive, I got for 2,30EUR (had the luck of getting plenty of tham for that per piece price), to create additional value
3. sell parts seperately

Ah, I suspected a possible firmware restricton.
If it does not work, is it re-doable?
I meant the 12" 1,2GHz
On my mid-2005 1,33GHz one. I allready upgraded to a 320GB IDE drive years ago and I got a mSATA SSD with IDE adapter at hand, which I maybe use here (on the other hand it is an expensive part and it would be better suited in another application PowerMac, or so). Allthough I do not expect very much speed increase (despite OS loading).
I also have a problem with the sleep function, which I do not know, where it comes from. (instead of sleep, ibook goes dead and can only be resurected by disconnecting battery and powerchord). So maybe the metter idea wwould be leaving it and buy another 1,33GHz model and put the SSD in there (as well as the DVD-DL drive).
I was pointed to that the capacitor holding the PRAM info may be bad and I should replace that, someone else said it could be the DC-in-Board and a third person said, it should be something I could come by, by watching what kext prevents it from going to sleep (looking at the log) and the corresponding kext's hardware would then be the cause, but I did not get any information out of the log, only that some more things were reported as problematic. (OS reinstall, wipe and install, did not help).
PS: I guess also the RAM chips on the other side would have to match, I can't use some that are 128MB together, just to test it, right?

Dv9341eu RAM upgrade/hard drive possible?

Hi everyone first post so please bear with me! OK got a dv9341eu, with 2GB of RAM, 2 x 120GB Fujitsu 5400rom drives running Vista. Ideally would like to max out RAM and according to Crucial cannot go more than 2 GB? Also would upgrading to 7200rpm drives make a difference? Or any other suggestions to make the system super duper!!!! Thanks in advance.

2 gigs is the max I am sorry to report. Yes you can replace the 5400 rpm main drive with a 7200 rpm and it will provide some improvement in performance. No need to upgrade the secondary storage drive unless you just want more space. Keep in mind that series of laptops with AMD CPU and nVidia graphics has been prone to lots of problems before you invest any more money in it.

RAM Upgrade to 8GB possible or not?

Hi,
I would upgrade my MBP Late 2008 (unibody) from 2X2GB to 2X4GB (DDR3 with 1066 FSB)
Is it possible, will the whole memory be detected?
regards
hape62

No, you can't use 8GB in your machine — even if all is detected, the MBP will be wildly unstable. Apple says it will only support 4GB. You may be able to use 6GB successfully, though (one 2GB + one 4GB module). That has worked well for many owners of late '08 machines.

RAM failure as one possible reason for MBP not booting up

Hello,
Just moving from an HP Win 7 laptop and got a brand new 11' MBP a month ago, which I must say was a bit disappointing in terms of overall performance, as I was clearly expecting more from a Mac.
Yesterday, after it went off out of battery, could not boot it back up despite plugging the charger: black screen, little white light on but nothing else. Tried anything I could find on this community pages (hard reboot, SMC, etc) without any success.
My IT support came this morning, and removed one of the two 4 Go RAM barr (from Samsung) and it rebooted magically. Apparently this is their second case of RAM failure on new MBP in 24 hours
Besides, I am now experiencing with a much faster computer on 4 Go of RAM instead of 8.
Bottom line, some recent Macs may have been equipped with defective RAM chips, you may want to consider this if running into a laptopt that stops bootting up.
Hope this helps
Cheers

I just noticed you said you'd erased your hard drive. That might be why there is nothing to see.
OK, try this -insert a system CD then power off. Switch on and hold down the alt key. Do you get the grey screen but with no drives appearing? If so, is the CD/DVD drive spinning and making a noise?
Wait for a minute or so and see if the CD/DVD appears on the screen as a boot option once it gets up to speed. It won't appear instantly.
if it does select it and see what happens. be patient. A boot DVD will be slow but you should hear the drive going if it's loading the software.

I have an almost 3 yr old Mac Book Pro and have noticed the colorwheel pop up more and more to process anything applications I use or websites I browse. Do I need to add more RAM? Is it possible to add more RAM?

I have an almost 3 yr olf MacBook Pro and have noticed that my color wheel pops up more and more. I can't open a simple document sometimes w/o it popping up and spinning before it opens. Same goes for when I'm on the web browsing different sites. Can I do something to rectify this?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. What approximate values are shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

Possible excess consumption of RAM in Xfce 4.10

For a few days I have noticed that every time I boot ArchLinux with Xfce 4.10 is consuming me just charge significantly RAM desktop completely that... I do not remember exactly how much memory consumed when you install Xfce, but now nothing more I load consumes about 400Mb ram. previously had few applets on the top panel monitoring such as CPU, transfers from the network interface and other things, delete them all!. remove all my settings and restart Xfce to default settings, with all this, Xfce is significant consimiendo ram.
As I said before, I do not remember how much memory consumed when you install Xfce, but I think those 363 Mb of RAM (500Mb previously over before deleting applets) is excessive memory consumption. I have Ubuntu 13.04 on another hard drive and surprisingly Unity consumes me 280MB of ram ... I can not believe that Xfce consume more ram to Unity.
Do you know of any documentation or similar for Xfce and make optimize use less RAM? Is it possible to be a bug reported?
Thanks in advance ...

Accessing ram slots on a 27 iMac

I just received a new 27 iMac and I’m thinking about adding an additional 4GB of ram. I’m not very excited about laying this big boy down onto its face to add the extra ram. Is it possible to place the machine on the edge of a table and tilt it back to access the ram slots?

Thanks for the responses. So I agree with you guys about following the directions. I'm trying to visualize the best way for my wife and I to tip it onto it's face. Should I hold the sides while my wife holds the arm in the back? Or should we each take a side? I'm trying to avoid getting a bunch of finger prints on the screen or stirring up dust that might exist inside the machine.
I know I might seem overly paranoid but it's been four month ordeal for me to get where I'm at right now. I would hate a screw something up at this point in the game.

Need more than 4GB of RAM Macbook

I have an early Macbook Pro 13" (2011) w/ a 2.7Ghtz Processor and 4GB 1333 of DDR3 Ram and I'm wanting to upgrade to 8GB of ram or more if possible. It's showing it's not available for my machine when I looked on the apple site. Does this mean I'm stuck w/ what I have? I would hope that I can upgrade my ram on my laptop instead of having to buy a whole new computer. Any pros out there that can help what I think is a simple question to you experienced Mac guys.

It is capable of:
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
Good sources for memory are:

MSI P35 Platinum + Q9550 CPU + 4x1GB RAM

Greetings!
I just upgraded my system by changing just the CPU, from E6550 to Q9550, and having some small problems.
The past:
My system was stable with the E6550 and the 4x1GB RAM sticks (Kingston, 667MHz), with the only negligible issue being that during POST it momentarily stuck (e.g. for a fraction of a second) at ~3100MB before sweeping the entire 4096MB of memory and proceeding with loading the OS (Win7x64). I've never had any weird BSOD issues and never done any OC (on CPU, RAM nor VGA).
The present:
Problem is that, now, with the Q9550, system wont POST with all four of the 1GB sticks plugged; it stops/freezes at ~3316MB (if I hit ESC or DEL during RAM-sweep it blacks out and goes off-power) before the "beep". Needless to say that I can't even access the BIOS menu in this configuration. Removing one 1GB stick, specifically from slot #2 (counting from the CPU), thus running at 3x1GB, allows for normal boot. In this configuration, the new CPU model is properly recognized by both POST and BIOS, but the CPU multiplier is reported wrongly in the BIOS settings (x7 instead of x8.5), just like it "remembers" my old CPU's setting. How can I check, within the OS, that the frequency is the right one? Many programs report it correctly (e.g. CPU-ID or Windows), but there's the chance that they're just stating the nominal spec of the CPU model...
Any clues on how to address these two problems?
My (small) troubleshooting:
I am wearing the latest official BIOS, version 1.C (or 1.12, dated 2009-12-30), that hasn't given me any cause to worry about, in the last 3 years.
The system worked fine before (w the E6550 CPU) on the 4x1GB RAM, so I am kinda excluding the case of a "bad" slot or stick. I haven't (and don't wanna) undertake the tedious task of trying all possible permutations of 4 slots & 4 sticks. Please note that the RAM sticks are same brand, size and frequency, but the model-numbers might not be exactly the same (one pair was bought in 2007, the other in 2011).
When booting with 3x1GB RAM, and running some benchmarks from the OS (PassMark PerformanceTest, Prime95) reveals that CPU is working fine. Only problem is that its temps are a little on the hot-side (40-45C@idle, 65C+@load, at ~25C+ ambient, on stock cooler) and the CPU benchmark scores are 5-10% below the average-baseline; however, these issues worry me not because the CPU was used (got it from eBay for $90).
My PSU is a 550W HEC, and the rest of my system comprises a HD4850/1GB VGA, two HDDs (WDs, one of them a "green"), one SSD (Intel/60GB) and a DVD-writer.
Any ideas?
I am hoping that there's some BIOS tweak I can make in order to re-recognize all my RAM with the least possible hardware changes and operations. Maybe re-flash the current BIOS, or try to roll-back a version? Will tweaking the RAM settings (voltages, freqs) help any? Is that do-able on the P35 board? My last (money-costing) option is going for new 2x2GB RAM sticks, which I evidently want to avoid...
Thanks for your help!

OK, I've had some time in the weekend and I did my tests, that seem successful Yay!
A. New CPU multiplier mis-identification in BIOS (7x instead of 8.5x) -- This was fixed by clearing the CMOS (as RemusM suggested, using the on-board button) and then "Loading Optimized Defaults" by the main BIOS menu. Apart from the time/date and boot-order, the only other thing I had to change was the On-Chip ATA Devices RAID mode (enable AHCI), to allow the SSD drive where my OS is stored to boot normally.
B. POST stopping with 4x1GB RAM sticks -- The above BIOS-related changes didn't help here. So, I undertook the task of checking each RAM stick alone with MemTest86 (as XFM suggested). To this end, I plugged each stick in Slot#1 (DIMM_A1) and no errors were found, for a one-pass test, for all four sticks; evidently, my RAM sticks were fine. I then tried some permutations of the four sticks and the four slots and, lo and behold, one of them, worked! Please note that my four RAM sticks were purchased in two kits of 2x1GB, that were equal brand/size/frequency and the serial numbers were almost the same (apart from the last 2-3 digits in a series of 10-15 characters). The sticks looked similar even to the bare eye (very similar PBC "routes", chip placement etc). The only difference was the date, 2007-vs-2011.
For what it's worth, the non-working combination was:
   DIMM_A1 : Kit#1 (2007) / Stick#1
   DIMM_A2 : Kit#2 (2011) / Stick#1
   DIMM_B1 : Kit#1 (2007) / Stick#2
   DIMM_B2 : Kit#2 (2011) / Stick#2
while the working combination is:
   DIMM_A1 : Kit#2 (2011) / Stick#1
   DIMM_A2 : Kit#2 (2011) / Stick#2
   DIMM_B1 : Kit#1 (2007) / Stick#1
   DIMM_B2 : Kit#1 (2007) / Stick#2
(i.e. the two sticks of the same kit were placed in the same RAM Channel slots: the Green and the Orange)
Nevertheless, one mystery remains unsolved: In the fast-sweep of the RAM during the POST, the check still stops/pauses at ~3320MB but, fortunately, it proceeds to sweep the entire 4096MB and then boot the OS normally! The duration of this "pause" is maybe a little longer than it used to with the old CPU: it now last up to one full second while it use to pause for only a fraction of a second. I can't help but correlate this pause location (at ~3300MB) with the maximum RAM that is "recognized" by 32-bit OS...
Anyway, thanks for all your help! Hopefully this thread might help other guys with similar problems.

No programs open, but 3GB RAM in use?

I'm running into some problems with the amount of free RAM I have available to me, and it's causing serious performance problems.
I have a new 2011 MBP and I just ran into a situation where I ran out of RAM and the computer became extremely sluggish. I had 1 Safari window open and XCode open, editing a very small project. Between these two programs I was using about 600MB of my total 4GB of RAM. Even though I was only using 600MB of RAM on actual programs, Activity Monitor reported I was out of Memory, and did not say that any programs were using all my memory, only that it was gone.
I decided to quit all open programs, but the problem did not go away. Sitting there with no open programs, my computer was using 3GB of its total 4GB of RAM in either wired or active state, and another 750MB in inactive state. I seem to be entirely unable to reclaim that 750MB even when using the "purge" command in Terminal. Activity monitor claims that kernel_task is using 300MB right now, but doesn't list any other programs using significant amounts of memory, yet I only have 400MB of my 4GB available as "free" memory.
If this were only a reporting error from Activity Monitor, and the RAM really was free and it was just reported incorrectly, then that would be fine. But the computer behaves as if it's constantly out of memory. Also, rebooting isn't a great solution because this happens to me all the time, even after reboots. It only solves the problem for a few minutes.
Any suggestions? Does this happen to anyone else? I didn't notice this behavior on my old 2007 MBP (also with 4GB RAM).

About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.
