Aspire E15 - how to upgrade RAM?

I can't seem to figure out how to get the case for this E15 open. There aren't any youtube videos yet, other than a bunch of First Look type videos. The support agent I chatted with said he doesn't have any information on how to open the case up.

I took the best picture I could quickly. The little clips are what I've higlighted in red. This is the laptop upside down, and from the rear, with the battery removed. That link one of you guys posted above is basically right but seems to be without much useful detail. My laptops have DVD drives. There are little clips inside the case on the sides that you have to release carefully to open the case. Holding the laptop face up (as if you were going to power it on and use it), a very small screwdriver inserted separately on the right and left, almost parralel to the desk but kind of from the top, then slowly, gently levering the screwdriver up should release them. It is a really strange design for a laptop that is listed as being RAM upgradeable, that's for daggum sure. When I did this the first time, I had the screen all the way open to be out of the way, in spite of how I've taken this picture.

How to upgrade RAM in iMac 2013 models

how to upgrade RAM in iMac 2013 models. I know one can ask for RMm upgrade while buying iMAC from online store. Is it advisable to upgrade the RAM by self or from some professional?

Even if you do get the 27", RAM installation is a PTA to install. Prior to setting up your computer on your desk, you must lay it it face down on a soft area (couch). Then you have to maneuver your hand & fingers either around or under the pedal to pop open the RAM door. When putting the RAM into the slots you need to use all of your God given muscles to get them in there. Otherwise, while you are seating one RAM, the one next to it will pop right on out.
When you hear the "snap," the RAM is seated properly and it's neighbor(s) will not pop out.

How to upgrade RAM on the HP Mini 110-313?

It says the HP Mini 110's are user-upgradable RAM to 2gig.
How would I do this?

There should be a little door on the bottom of the machine where the memory chip is. Just order the memory and pop the old one out and put the new one in.

How to upgrade RAM or add VRAM

Bought a refurbished MacBook Pro with
OS X 10.8.4
2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
and interested in purchasing ProPresenter, which recommends using:
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better
OS: MacOS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or later
RAM: 2 GB RAM (4 GB recommended)
Graphics Card: Dual display with screen spanning capability (a dedicated graphics card with 512MB VRAM is recommended)
Since my hubby and I just made "the switch," (he got a new iMac 21.5" with superdrive and I got the refurb MacBook Pro), I want to make sure we will be good with the software purchase, or if we need to purchase additional hardware.
LOVE the new Macs!!

1 - can't answer your hardware question unless you provide information about the exact MBP model and/or what graphics processor (GPU) it has. To identify the exact model, open Apple > About This Mac > System Information > Hardware and look for "Model identifier"
2 - You can probably upgrade RAM but again it depends on the exact model MBP you have
3 - There is no way to add VRAM in a MacBook Pro
Overall, given the specs you cited for ProPresenter, I would expect it to run fine on an i7 MacBookPro.

How to upgrade RAM on HP Pavilion dv6000 ?

Hello!
I am using a HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook, with a 32-bit Vista business, 2 processors of Genuine Intel with 1.73GHz each, and only 1GB of RAM.
I would like to upgrade the RAM to 4GB, but I don't know if that's possible, and/or how to do that. I hope you guys can help me.
Thanks.

We need to know the exact model number from the tag on the bottom of the laptop. You can then just check by model number with Crucial at crucial.com to check max memory specs. Some of the dv6000s max at 2 gigs as you likely already know. 2 gigs is dirt cheap and would be a major improvement. With 32 bit Vista even if you install 4 gigs only 3 will be available for Windows to use. So 2 gigs is your best bet anyway. The difference between 1 gig and 2 is huge, the difference between 2 and 3 is negligible, in my opinion.

How to upgrade ram for iMAC 21.5" i5 mid 2011

I recently purchased a 2-4 8GB ram kit for my iMac. Unfortunately, I ordered the wrong kit, one for a mid 2012, rather than one for my mid-2011.
I'd like to get some advice before I buy another kit.
My mid-2011 iMAC came with 4GB (2x2). That is nearly full now (~3.8 GB). I had thought an 8GB update (a 2x4 kit) would cover my needs. Unfortunately, I ordered and received the kit intended for a mid 2012. Okay, chalk it up to excerience. Experience also tells me to ask for help--HELP!

It also answered my first question.
Now that I'm feeling a bit more confident, I'll ask one more:
Maybe instead of adding two 4G sticks, I'd like to considder replacing the existing 4G (2 2x2s) with four 4G sticks. Is there a limit to how much ram the rest of the computer can support?
Thanks again for the prior reply, And thanks to OWC for the clear and simple video!

How do you make RAM faster without upgrading RAM?

I have a Mac Mini 2014 and you can't upgrade RAM in it. Is there a way to make my RAM faster?

iMovie_Maker wrote:
Do you think 4 GB is enough
Enough for what?
The engine in my car puts out 200 HP. That's more than enough given the power to weight ratio of the vehicle and considering the type of driving I do with it commuting to work and the occasional road trip. If fails miserably when attempting to drag race the guy down the street with the Dodge Viper putting out somewhere around 660 HP.

HT4561 how to upgrade operating system from 10.5.8 to mountain lion

How do upgrade my I MAC from MAC OS X ro Mountain lion?

To upgrade from OS X 10.5.8, you must first buy Snow Leopard by calling the phone number in the Apple Online Store: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
After you install Snow Leopard you can decide if you want to upgrade OS X to the latest version, Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store, which is available to you after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
Make sure your system meets the requirements for Mountain Lion:
Mac OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" System Requirements
To install Mountain Lion, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (RAM)
8 GB or more of available hard disk space
If your system does not support Mountain Lion's requirements, you may be able to upgrade to Lion. To do that you must call Apple again to order a download code. Redeem the download code in the App Store to download Lion. Lion costs 99¢ more than Snow Leopard.
Make sure your system meets the requirements for Lion:
Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion" System Requirements
Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon CPU
Core Duo CPUs are not sufficient for Lion
2GB of memory (RAM)
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
To determine which Mac you have, what kind of CPU it uses, and how much memory is installed:  > About this Mac
The specified 2 GB minimum is barely adequate for either Lion or ML. They will run in 2 GB but you may not like its performance. 4 GB is a more realistic minimum.

how to upgrade my mackbookpro from 10.5.8 to date

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

How to upgrade from os x 10.6.8 to Lion os 10.7.2

How to upgrade from os x 10.6.8 to Lion os 10.7.2?

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
Unless you previously got an installer for Mac OS X 10.7 through 10.7.2, you can only upgrade to a newer version.

How to upgrade MB Pro Lion to Yosemite

Looking for some "how to" advice on upgrading software from(Late Year 2011) 15" Mac Book Pro Lion 10.7.5 to newer Yosemite OS X. I'd also like to remove all old non-working Power PC Apps and any other junk, bugs or viruses it might have. Looking forward to anyones opinions or recommendations on these upgrades. Thanks H.

First check and see if your machine is in the recall pool:
Apple Recall:"
https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
It will help us to know how much RAM is installed. I would say you'd need at least 8 GB to be effective.
I personally have avoided Yosemite, read a lot of posts here and on the Yosemite site. I'm still running Mavericks and Lion.
You might also consider upgrading your HD to an SSD:
https://www.macsales.com/
Is the vendor of choice for me.
If you're set on Yosemite the site is here:
https://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
Make a working clone of your current OS before you do anything.
You might do a clean install of Lion and migrate just the applications you want.
"any other junk, bugs or viruses it might have."
If you don't feel it's running up to spec check out the serial number on the recall site.

I would like to upgrade the operating system on my 2009 iMac from OS X Version 10.5.8 to 10.9.5. Is it something I can do on my own since AppleCare expired and I am not able to go to an Apple retail store to speak to a Genius? Where can I get the V. 10.9.5 for free? Thanks.
