Can i buy more storage for my MacBook Pro separately from apple?

I have a 350 GB hard drive, and i was looking to buying a 750 GB and having apple install it manually at one of their retail stores. Am i able to buy a hard drive separately from apple?

You can purchase any standard 2.5" notebook hard drive or SSD (although, you should check the forums for compatibility comments if you're looking for an SSD).  You can very easily install the drive yourself following the instructions in your user manual.  However, Apple will only install their own supplied drives.  They will not install a drive that you bring to them.  You can, however, go to an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) and have them install your drive for you:

    "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. 

  • Where can I buy a battery for a MacBook Pro 17", year 2010?

    Where can I buy a battery for a MacBook Pro 17", year 2010?
    Already saw how to replace on youtube:

    Now I'm looking for a seller on e-bay. Anyone has bought recently and can refer?
    All tips are welcome and thanks in advance!

    Personally, I wouldn't purchase a battery from eBay for an expensive MBP.  What you get is what you paid for (buyer beware).
    Call around to your local AS or AASP for prices.  Do a Google or Bing search.

    can i buy new battery for my macBook pro in egypt ?

    Purchasing a battery from a third party vendor is a high risk proposition.  Many such batteries have been found to be substandard. 
    I suggest that you try and contact Apple and see if you can have one shipped to you.

  • Want to buy more ram for my macbook pro. What to buy?

    +Model Name: MacBook Pro+
    +Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo+
    +Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz+
    +Total Number Of Cores: 2+
    +Memory: 4 GB+
    I am looking to buy more ram for my macbook, but I don't know what to look for. Do I have to buy 2x 4GB and get rid of my old ram or I can buy 2 x 2GB and use them all together?
    Also, same with HD. I need more HD as well. Can I install another harddrive as well?
    Message was edited by: Strato222

    There are only 2 slots for RAM. So, you'd need to replace one of the 2 GB sticks with a 4 GB stick for a total of 6 GB, or replace both for a total of 8 GB.
    Yes, you can replace the HDD with a larger one as well. There are instructions in the manual.

  • How can I buy more storage for Elements?

    Looking how to upgrade storage for my Photoshop Elements account. Every time I click on upgrade I'm taken to my products page and can't do anything from there as there are no active links to upgrade, buy more storage. I keep looping from the control panel for Elements to my account dashboard.

    Your current Adobe® Photoshop® Elements or Adobe Premiere® Elements storage and sharing membership on Photoshop.com will move to a new service called Adobe Revel.

    Are you talking about iCloud storage or storage on your iPad?  Your iTunes purchases DO NOT count towards your iCloud storage, and 5GB comes with your iCloud account for free.

  • How can i buy new battery for my macBook pro in France

    Hello,
    Please, someone can tell me how to find and buy new battery for my 2008 macBook pro in France ?
    This one is very old, i already changed this battery one time, i think Apple store of town won't be ok to make the work cause i have made it myself one time before (it has fallen several times, almost broken, means impossible to shut the battery place but still working on). So i bought a battery to a third provider, wich doesn't work of course, try to ask to online assistance but i have to pay 30 € just to ask my question and i doesn't want...
    SO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION TO CHANGE MY BATTERY ??? HELP !!!
    I bought it in 2008. I don't know exactly the serie. Just know it's a 2,4 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo.
    The reference of battery is A1281 10,8V 50 Wh. Can't find it on the store. The only one i found was on a website who didn't tell it's was a fake... 
    Lost 85 €

  • Where can I buy a battery for a MacBook Pro 17 (6,1 unibody)

    I've got a mid 2010 MacBookPro6,1 17inch Unibody and the battery is failing.   Where can I buy a replacement part (I'm a hardware engineeer and quite capable of installing it myself)

    Try ifixit or PowerbookMedic - I believe that both sell batteries for your model.

  • Where can I buy install discs for my macbook pro 4,1 ?

    My wife recently was given her old work computer. It was replaced by a brand new 15" MBP Retina.
    The old one, a 15" MBP 4,1 early 2008 will be given to our daughter. I would like to do a fresh install of the OS and upgrade to stop at Snow Leopard. My wife thinks it came with Leopard when she first got it (10.5.2 is confimed by mactracker) and then she had it upgraded to Lion. Right now it is running 10.8.0.
    The guy who bought the computer for her back in 2008 is no longer with the company and nobody can find the discs. I tried to boot from my late 2008 13" MB 5,1 factory discs and had no luck.
    Where can I find factory install discs that will work?
    Thanks in advance,

    Phone AppleCare and order them. Alternatively, if you don't need iLife or the Apple Hardware Test, you can just use a retail Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

  • I can not buy more storage space, I've tried everything!! Without success I'm in despair!

    I can not buy more storage space, I've tried everything!! Without success I'm in despair!

    Thank you all for the help. I truly apreciate it. I have since reset my ipad for the second time by myself and it is ok now. I have a different problem at this time. My photo stream on icloud is greyed out and there are no backups for my photos. My camera roll and my photostream are both on my ipad, but don't show up in my set of folders on my device when trying to download or copy to my pc. It used to before I reset the ipad. I now have an iphone 4s, and hope to save up for a mac for artwork, but the response I recieved from apple tech is making me think twice. I asked either about the outlook mail dilemma or the photosteam problem, whichever it was I was asked if it was on the ipad or the pc that it was greyed out and I said on the pc and they hung up. I didn't get the chance to tell them that it was greyed out in icloud also.  I solved the mail dilemma by using microsoft skydrive, since outlook is not used with windows 7, that solved the contacts, mail, reminders, calendars and notes. I had to figure that out by myself. Unfortunately without beingf able to browse my ipad's folders freely, I can't do anything about the photos. How do I get icloud to save my stream if it doesn't see it? I don't know of anyone with a mac, or I would see if their machine would see the folder. I'm thinking maybe I missed something in setting up. I have a bunch of folders that show that are imported folders, but there are a lot of them, some with only one picture in them. That's not what I would have done if I put in folders, but i am coming from being a total MS pc person to trying to work with apple. Things don't work the same and I'm trying to learn. Any help is appreciated.
