Can i up my MBP 13 to 16gb ram ?

My mac book pro while i working take all ram , and i need more ram for render and modeling program , apple says i can up to only 8 Gb ram !! And i found difference in price not to much for me ! Could i upgrade to 16GB ram without any problem ! I see on you tube MBP 13 inch 2012 model working without any problem ! Is that okay, or the computer will not use it at all , and it will use maximum use 8GB that apple says , and the other Gigabyte are useless or , that harmful on mother board ????? Plz help if you know any info ! And thank you for reading

Here are the RAM you need to install in your 2012 Macbook Pro - Click on their name so you can see the price.
Do not install non-Apple Tested/Certified RAM.
CRUCIAL 16GB DDR3 1600MHz (8GB X2) - This is the brand I have installed in my 15 Inch Late 2011
MUSHKIN 16GB DDR3 1600MHz (8GB X2)
PATRIOT MAC SERIES 16GB DDR3 1600MHz (8GB X2) - This is the brand I have installed in my 13 inch Late 2011
G.Skill 16GB DDR3 1600MHz (8GB X2) - This is the brand I have installed in my 13 Inch Late 2008 Unibody
CORSAIR 16GB DDR3 1600MHz (8GB X2) - A lot of users here uses this brand.
Spend the extra $5 - $10 and use the brands listed above. Do not use non Apple Certified/Tested RAM - you'll be posting back here on why your Macbook won't boot if you did buy cheap RAM.
Good luck

Can I upgrade my Macbook Pro to 16GB RAM

I am a Graphic Designer and use some very heavy bound software for rendering and running multiple memory munching applications everyday.
Lately my macbook pro has been increadibly slow. I have seen allot video on youtube of people upgrading their rams to 16GB. I was wondering of my mac can operate that too.
The upgrades I will be doing are:
500GB SSD h/d
2x 8GB RAM
- My only concern is the RAM size compatibilty. Please let me know if its viable. Also if theres any other upgrades I can do feel free to share. Thank you.

Does bootcamp support 16gb ram

If i have a MBP with has 16gb ram and i have windows 7 64bit installed through bootcamp, would i be able to see 16gb of ram in the task manager tab??

Windows 7 Home Premium supports 16GB max. Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate support 192 GB RAM http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366778%28v=vs.85%29.as px#physical_memory_limits_windows_7

I have brought a 17'' MacBook Pro 2.5ghz core 2 duo 2gb. Model A1261. It seems I can upgrade to either 8gb or 16gb ram! But since It's 2006'ish, I just want some advice on the best ram that would work for a good price. Thanks :)

8 gb will do I guess
Based on the information that you have supplied, you have a Early or Late 2008 MBP. Maximum RAM that it will accept is 6 GB with the following specifications: 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.
The best sources for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.

Can I get a MBP with 32 GB of RAM?

Can I get a MBP with 32 GB of RAM?: I know someone is going to give me a 1-word reply: "NO".
But what I want to encourage is a bit of a discussion here. Why not 32 gb RAM? Isn't it about time? It can't be the price or?? Can't the software handle it?
I keep things a long time--- 10yr+ PBG4; 5 year MBP-13" --- and that's great when I could (and have) upgraded with more RAM, SSD's etc. But today's Macs are basically sealed boxes like an iPad I believe (talking MacBOOK / MBP's here, not iMacs)(although they are fairly tightly sealed nowadays, too!). So I really have to purchase thinking "What will I need in 2020 or 2022?" -or- "How do I win the lottery?"
Any comments appreciated -- I was planning to upgrade my mid-2010 MBP from 8 gb to 16 gb RAM (yes, you can… just this one model of that age) --- but perhaps save the $150 and put it towards a new one--- then again, $150 is only about 5 hours of an Watch so might just do that anyway…
Thanks,
Steve

I believe this IS a problem -- it is an issue I have about not being able to run things without enough RAM.
And I think "No you can't" is not a very helpful answer at all! In fact I prefaced my inquiry / problem with my first sentence thinking someone like you would give just such a reply---- was trying to avoid that!
There might be companies out there like OWC or Crucial or I don't know who -- that could / might / might some day provide increased RAM for existing MBP's just like for my MBP 2010 that is spec'd at 8 gb max RAM but there is a 16 gb solution out there.
So if anyone else would like to try to solve this problem for me --
Best regards,

Can I buy a Macbook pro retina 13" with 16gb RAM and i7 processor in an physical Apple Store in Spain?

I´m looking a Macbook pro 13 inch, but I would buy it with an i7 processor and 16Gb ram. Can I buy it in a spanish physical Apple Store or only in the Apple Store online?
Thanks

At least in Spain, some Apple Retail Stores have got specific build-to-order MacBooks Pro available, but they are just because they are sold better than any other build-to-order MacBook Pro.
However, as Kappy said, it's quite difficult you can get one with the configuration you want. Have a look at the list of Apple Retail Stores in Spain, choose one and call them to see if there's one available > http://www.apple.com/es/retail/storelist The best way to buy a build-to-order Mac is through Apple Online Store

Does early '11 MBPs support 16GB ram?

I have an early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro. I was just wondring if it will support 16GB RAM? The apple website says it can only support up to 8GB but I read elsewhere that it is able to support 16GB.
Specs:
CPU: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
RAM: 4GB 1333MHz DDR3
DATE OF RELEASE: Early 2011, 13-inch MacBook Pro

Mine does.
Crucial.com and macsales.com (OWC) sell RAM that is tested to be compatible with MAC and will guide you to the proper RAM. I am running crucial 16 Gb now.

Can i order a MBP with backlit English/Arabic Keyboard and got it shipped?

can i order a MBP with backlit English/Arabic Keyboard and got it shipped?

The answer depends entirely on where you are. Are you in a country where that keyboard layout is offered by Apple Stores, an Apple Online Store, or Apple resellers? If so, the answer is yes. If not, the answer is likely to be no.

Ben do you receive any specific error messages? Were you able to apply the updates successfully?

Can I use my MBP while in flight?

Can I use my MBP while flying?
Tech specs say maximum altitude is 10,000 feet - does that mean I cant turn it on at 30,000 feet?

I have used my MacBook Pro at 30,000 feet many times, and I have never had any problems.
Cabins are pressurized at 8,000 feet, so you are well within the limits.

Can macbook pro 15 in i7 2.2 GHz support 16GB ram

Can macbook pro 15 inch i7 2.2 GHz support 16GB ram?

Yes.
But Apple only says/does 8GB and charges $435 to do it.
If you want to save a ton of money, you can do 16GB yourself for $280 and a DIY kit.
Doesn't break the warranty as long as you don't break anything in the process.

Please tell me....i got MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011) can i upgrade 16GB ram on it?

I heard somewhere he may be able to upgrade to 32GB of RAM if he wanted to, although Apple wouldn't recommend it, it is possible?

Can i install 16gb ram for my 17" macbook pro build 10k549 running 10.6.8?

can i install 16gb ram for my 17" macbook pro build 10k549 running 10.6.8?

What's the year and model number? If you go under Apple menu->About This Mac->More Info->System Report, you can find the model number - something like "MacBookPro8,3".

Can I buy MBP WITHOUT HD and RAM preinstalled?

Hello everybody.
I might buy a MBP in the near future, we'll see about the update and everything.
I want to know, if I DO choose to buy a MBP, is there any way I can buy it WITHOUT a hard drive and ram preinstalled? This is because as soon as I get it, I plan to install my own SSD (128gb) and Ram (2x4GB).
I want to save a little money because if I buy it the way it is now, I would have to opt for the lowest spec hd and ram and swap them out to upgrade.
I'll reinstall snow leopard, then install WIN7 via bootcamp.
*** am I gonna do with those spare parts? Sell them? Too much trouble, I don't want to get them in the first place.
So, is there any way?
If not, Apple should COME UP with a way.
If so, then TELL ME.
-Leo

Leo,
My comment was as follows, with emphasis this time:
"and then added ~$1000 for 2x4GB DDR3 RAM and a decent SSD"
As you say, it is approximately $400-500 for 2x4GB DDR3 and $400-500 for a decent SSD. I'm well aware of that and, with taxes, adding those numbers will give you approximately, as I said before, $1000.
First of all, you've already mentioned that it's entirely their fault. So why must I suffer for their ignorance?
You're missing the point entirely. It is their fault, but Apple will be the one that suffers when they all call and demand to know why their new computer isn't working. Most people, when confronted with two options that appear to be exactly the same (remember they aren't technically savvy) will choose the cheaper one every time. For this reason, Apple (who is selling the machine and the license to use OS X, remember) will have to pay for technical support for all those people. Not a very smart business plan.
Second of all, ignorant people don't turn to Apple at first glance
I know a lot of people who use Apple products precisely because they are much easier to use than any Windows PC. And, I would say that the vast majority of the population falls into the "technically non-savvy" group. You and I are part of a very small minority, whether you like it or not.
Concerning your view that apple's reliability would go down, they should come out with a compatibility list.
Why would Apple put so much time and energy into testing thousands of hardware permutations to cater to perhaps 5% (10% would be very generous) of their customers? Answer is that they haven't, and they won't. It makes no sense for them, financially. Period. And people would still probably complain if the SSD they really want isn't on the list. It is a lose/lose for Apple.
Should I ** up, I would not blame apple... I'm no noob... I'll deal with it... I will buy the MBP "AS IS"
That's exactly the option you have right now. Buying the MBP as is, or not buying it at all.
This scenario can be avoided completely by burying this "advanced" option deeper in the site.
And yet I bet you that thousands of people would still find it and mistakenly pick it because it's cheaper, without knowing what they're actually doing. Everyone likes to think that they're "advanced". It doesn't mean that they actually are or that they know at all what they're doing.
there are those "technically challenged" people out there... However, let's analyze, who are they?
As I said above, at least 50% of the current population with the financial capacity to purchase Apple products are probably "technically challenged".
Either they are old, or they're noobs. Apple do not target either of those audiences.
Honestly, I don't think you really know who Apple targets. I don't claim to know either. I like to think they target almost everyone, or they try. There is no reason why an old person or someone who has never used a computer could not or would not want to use a Mac.
Again, as I said above: Buy a Mac with the processor and graphics configuration you want, and then sell off the stock parts if you want. Or don't, and build what you really want. There isn't currently, and probably never will be, the alternative that you're looking for.
