Can i add more memory to my macbook pro?

It currently has 4 GB installed. Can I add more memory?

Which model MBP do you have? 15" late 2011, for example.
Go to the Crucial website and use the System Scanner tab to determine which upgrades are available for your model - you don't have to buy from Crucial, but they do offer some of the best RAM for Macs available.
Good luck,

  • Can I add more memory to a MacBook Pro after purchase?

    What can handle the most memory (RAM?) and speed - MacBook Pro or iMac?  I'll be using Adobe Creative Suite 6.  I prefer MacBook Pro because of portability, but don't know how it compares to iMac in memory and speed.  Thank you.

    The only currently produced MacBook Pro with user-replaceable memory is the entry level, non-Retina model.
    The only currently produced iMac with user-replaceable memory is the 27" model.
    The MacBook Pro can address as much as 16 GB RAM (though that configuration is not available from Apple).
    The iMac can address as much as 32 GB.
    Creative Suite 6 will work fine on either one but the iMac is by far the more capable of the two models.

  • How do I add more memory to my MacBook Pro?

    I have 320 GB but it's not nearly enough and, ideally, I'd like to add another 500GB.
    Is that possible, how do i do it, and what are the risks?
    I mentioned it in passing when I was in the Apple Genius Bar on something else and they suggested they might help (which surprised me, as I presumed Apple wouldn't necessarily endorse doing it).
    Thank you.

    I have a number of external hard drives but I carry my Mac with my quite a lot so I want a bigger hard drive within the computer. Any UK users recommend somewhere to buy from and what brand?
    Thanks

  • Have MacBook Pro (ancient) has 2.16 Ghz Intel Core Duo with 1 GB 667 MHz RAM using OS 10.4.11. Can I upgrade OS? If so, how far? And can I add more memory? I realize this is an old laptop but I need to wait to upgrade to new.

  • How can I add more memory to my iPad?

    How can I add more memory to my iPad?

    Memory refers to RAM, and can't be increased.
    I asume you mean storege space (like 16GB, 32GB, etc). It also can't be increased.
    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
    Another option:
    Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

  • How can I add more memory to my iPod touch

    How can I add more memory to my iPod touch?

    You are not able to add memory to a iPod Touch.
    The only way to get more memory is to buy one with a larger capacity.

  • Can I add more memory to my Mac OS X version 10.6.8

    Can I add more memory to my Mac OS X Version 10.6.8

    Memory 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM?

    The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

    Where can i buy original memory for my macbook pro 13inc mid 2012 and how much is this ?

    "Memory sold by the Apple Online Store is guaranteed to be compatible with your Macintosh."

    Other than Apple there are only two vendors with which I have personal experience and can recommend: Crucial and OWC. People have reported problems with many other brands, yet Crucial and OWC's prices are as good as any you are likely to find.
    Go to Crucial and download the little app that examines your system and recommends RAM upgrade options.
    Their prices are good but don't have to buy memory from them - determine what you need and buy it from Crucial or OWC / MacSales. You'd be paying Apple a lot more than either one of them, and you don't have to. 

  • How do I get more memory for my Macbook Pro Spring 2010 13-inch with 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo?

    How do I get more memory for my Macbook Pro spring 2010 13-inch with 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Apple says no memory currently available for that model. I have 4 GB memory and 3.99 used. Help!

    $45.99
    Also what do you mean that actual memory is 16GB but with Apple it's 8?
    When I go to the "About this Mac" it says Memory 4G 1067 MHz DDR3, then when I go to System Report it says
     Memory Slot
    Bank 0/ DIMM0 2G DDR3 1067 MHZ OK
    Bank 1/ DIMM0 2G DDR3 1067 MHZ OK
    Sorry I'm clueless. Just don't want to buy something that messes up my machine more than it already is.
    The Crucial site appears to have recommended the correct spec 4gB RAM stick for your model. Please note that you will need to remove the existing sticks of RAM to install new, so you will need 2x4gB to get to 8gB.
    When your model of computer was designed/built, it was tested with readily available 2x4gB (8gB). After release RAM retailers have tested it with higher amounts, and Apple didn't update their quoted specs.

  • Can we add external graphic card on macbook pro

    can we add graphic card to my macbook pro late 2011

    Not yet, no. MSI is showing an early demonstration of a Thunderbolt peripheral that will host an external graphics card, so there may be a solution eventually though it currently is Windows-only. See:

  • HT2496 good day, could you guide me on how to add more dictionary in my Macbook pro

    good day, could you guide me on how to add more dictionary in my Macbook pro

    You'll have to use iTunes on your computer or buy music using the iTunes app on your phone.
    Check these articles for more info:
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    iTunes on your MacBook can import music files or your CD's into the iTunes library. After that you can sync the content of the iTunes library on your Mac to your phone.

  • How do you add more memory to a macbook circa 2007

    how do you add memory to a macbook mid-2007?

    >If you have a Mid 2007 MacBook, that can use up to 3GB RAM.
    Since that model can use an odd number RAM capacity upgrade, with
    a total of 3GB between two memory slot locations, you could put one
    piece of RAM of 1-GB in a slot, and in the other, a 2-GB RAM chip...

    Recommendations have been to check the spec and model computer
    against the on-site parts suggestions for the computer model identifier
    at OWC macsales.com, or check into Crucial.com for specific match
    based on their information. OWC tends to be an easier way if you know
    the MacBook model identifier, and if yours actually is the Mid-2007 vs
    another different one. The Late-2007 can use up to 6GB RAM.

  • How do I add more memory to my macbook

    I have a Macbook Pro Mid 2009 (unibody) it looks like it only had around 130 gb..how do I add more and how much does it cost.

    I'm surprised, almost shocked that Clint didn't start gushing about all the wonders of a modern SSD; he's quite crazy about them.
    Well, yeah... but right now I'm gushing over my new LaCie 4TB 2big Thunderbolt RAID with two 7200 rpm drives. I 'un'-RAIDed it and formatted as JOBD, so I've two new 2TB drives. Right now I'm copying one of my Time Machine backups from an 'old' 2TB FW800 - it's going surprisingly fast. Instead of using Pondoni's Finder copy method, I chose block copy in  Carbon Copy Cloner. Waiting to see how that turns out - it should be finished in another 2 hours...
    But now if the OP asked about SSDs, you know that I'd be ready to gush!

    You can install as much as 6 GB in your 2007 MacBook Pro.
