Can I replace the RAM chips in my MacBook Air (11 inch 2011)

I'd like to increase the RAM in my MacBook Air.  Is this possible?  I see no information from Apple about how to do this relatively simple thing.

The memory in the MacBook Air is soldered to the logic board and cannot be replaced.  Only in the MacBook Pro of that year was it possible to replace/upgrade memory since the memory chips were on removable modules.

  • Can I upgrade the ram memory of my Macbook air from 4gb to 8gb?

    Anybody knows if I can upgrade the ram memory of a Macbook Air from 4gb to 8gb?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The memory in the MacBook Air is soldered onto the logic board, so you can't upgrade RAM after buying your computer. It's important to buy your MacBook Air with the amount of memory you will use because you won't be able to install more RAM

  • Can I update the ram in a 4gb MacBook Air to 8gb of ram?

    Hi I'm looking at buying a MacBook Air and I want to know if I could update a 4gb ram to 8 gb of ram MacBook Air

    You can select 8GB of RAM in the MacBook Air if you configure the MBA with the additional memory at the time you order your MBA from Apple. You cannot upgrade the memory after purchase.

  • Can i upgrade the RAM on a new macbook air? (thinking 8GB)

    that's the question.

    no, you cannot.
    the RAM is not upgradeable because it is seal on the motherboard originally from apple factory.

    You should also ask this in the MacBook Air forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

    How can I connect the first generation ipod to macbook air or macbook pro? Using an adapter?

    macbook air
    The only theoretical solution is an USB ExpressCard adapter and FireWire ExpressCard. I don't know if anyone's actually attempted it.
    macbook pro
    A FireWire 400 to 800 cable or adapter, also known as 6 pin to 9 pin.

  • Can I swap the harddisks between a new MacBook Air and a MacBook 2009?

    Can I swap the harddisks between a new MacBook Air and a MacBook 2009?
    I want to buy a MacBook Air and give my MacBook to my wife but
    I want to keep all my files, itunes libraries, user accounts, etc.
    Will the new Mac Book Air detect the new hardware and install the new
    drivers by itself?

    Hi uni2canarias and welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The hard drive in the MacBook Air is not meant to be user replaceable. Further, the OS installed on your MacBook would likely not run the MacBook Air.
    A better solution might be to use the Migration Assistant to move your data to the new computer. This comes up when you are setting up the new computer for the first time.
    Best of luck.

  • Can I replace the wireless card in my Macbook Pro?

    Can I replace the airport extreme card (Wireless G) to the new N card that come in the new MBP?

    Yes. It has been done. I have heard that the wireless n card for the mac pro will fit the macbook pro. I haven't done it yet though...I'm undecided about whether to update my laptop so i'm going to wait a while before i void my warranty.
    An apple dealer have offered to perform the installation but can't guarantee it will work, and say it will void my warranty but that's up in a month anyway... I'll let you know if i do it.

  • Can not locate the airplay icon on my macbook air

    Hello
    I recently bought apple tv. As far i am very happy with it, but i am having annoying issue with the apple tv and my macbook air. The macbook can not seem to be able to stream any content to it, no matter what settings i change. It just seem to be missing completely the airplay option. I am running the latest OS X Yosemite update. Any ideas how i can solve this?

    Hello PWGltd,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    In order to use AirPlay between a Mac and an Apple TV, your Mac needs to be one of the following:
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)

  • Can you replace the top part of your macbook pro?

    My macbook pro has some scratches and a small dent on the top and was wondering if you are able to replace this? If not, what are other options?

    Yes, the display assembly can be replaced for anywhere from a few hundred to more than a thousand dollars, depending on model. Under no circumstances is this a sensible, worthwhile investment if the only reason for doing it is minor cosmetic damage.

    At the present time there are no third party PCIe SSDs available.  Until some are produced for sale, the only alternative is to purchase a MBA with larger storage.
