Sorry, there is no way to upgrade/change your GPU. Upgrading RAM will have no affect on the amount of GPU memory on your machine.

  • Can I upgrade my Macbook Pro 15"  2.16 Ghz Core Duo superdrive?

    Currently, my macbook pro core duo has a superdrive that does not support DVD DL burning, I am wondering if it is possible to upgrade my superdrive to a newer version that does support DVD DL burning. If so, will I need to reformat my computer and reinstall Leopard?
    Thanks in advance

    I think so, at least according to ifixit:

    I'm not sure if you need to update Leopard drivers with this drive.

  • What can I upgrade in MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)? (RAM, processor, ssd)

    My MBP has been pretty sluggish, especially after Yosemite and I'm not ready to get a new one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You can upgrade RAM:
    Maximum Memory
    8.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    You can also replace the HDD with a new one or with an SSD. Or if you use OWC's Data Doubler, then you can remove the optical drive and have both an SSD and a HDD or two HDDs.
    You cannot upgrade the CPU or GPU.

  • MacBook Pro i5 2.5 GHz/8GB RAM  With Retina

    Hi eveyone,
    As many of you already did, today I've upgraded my MacBook Pro i5 2.5 GHz/8GB RAM from Mountain Lion (10.8.5) to Mavericks (10.9).
    Unfortunately, I'm experiencing serious and unpleasant issues since I installed the upgrade.
    Specifically, my monitor flickers almost every time I scroll an application window (e.g., Safari, Chrom or internet, either using an USB mouse or the trackpad.
    Moreover, when I pass the mouse over the Dock, this starts vibrating from time to time.
    After several reboots and given that one of the new features of Mavericks is the new management of external monitors, I've tried to re-install from scratch the OS X upgradewithout connecting my laptop to the external LCD but still nothing has changed.
    I'm really annoyed by having both monitors flickering. Another particular thing is that if I try to click on the Finder menu appearing on the external monitor, this makes flicker the primary monitor approximately at the same coordinates (i.e., at the Finder menu of the laptop monitor).
    It seems like something is going wrong with the video card drivers but this is just my conjecture.
    Are you guys experiencing the same or is there anything you might want to suggest to solve these issues?
    Thank you in advance
    ANY HELP THERE ,IT IS REALLY DISAPONTEING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING WITH APPLE PRODUCTS HELP PLEASE
    THANKS

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?

  • I have upgraded my MacBook Pro 15 late 2011 to 8Gb RAM, now when I go to about this mac in it more info it doesn't show AMD graphics card as it used to before, it just show  Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB is that a problem that I need to worry about?

    I have upgraded my MacBook Pro 15 late 2011 to 8Gb RAM, now when I go to about this mac in it more info it doesn't show AMD graphics card as it used to before, it just show  Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB is that a problem that I need to worry about?
    and in system report >> hardware >> Graphics/Display >> it shows both grafics card listed.

    Some Mac's when the RAM is increased the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics will bump itself up to the higher video RAM it takes, this seems to be what occured.
    It also means the dedicated graphics card will be used less, but only so slightly less.
    You obviously still should have both, you can test this by turning off Graphics Switching in Energy Saver, that will use the decicated AMD card all the time.
    You can also run Cinebench and compare the scores here

  • Can I change mi Macbook pro 2012 to a new one, because my fan died during an update?

    Well the other day I was using my Macbook Pro 2012 (not the retina) and I made an update soy leave my Mac during the update because I went downstairs for dinner, but when I went to se my Mac it make a strange sound on the fan, so I scared a lot and I download a program to see how my fan was doing and it sayed "0 rpm". My fan died during the update.
    So my question is, Can I change my Mac to another one?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, make a SMC reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If it doesn't work, the fan is defective. If you take the MacBook Pro to an Apple Store, Apple will try to repair the defective part, so you shouldn't need a new MacBook. However, if your MacBook Pro doesn't work correctly after replacing fans, Apple might give you a new Mac

  • Can i upgrade my macbook pro memory?

    i would like to increase my macbook pro speed, i have 4 gb RAM, 500 Gb HD, 2.3 ghz, what should i upgrade?
    HD to a SSD or RAM to 8 Gb???
    whats the most important thing to increase speed? is it the processor the most important or its not at all?

    It all depends on which MacBook Pro model you have - I have a late 2011 and have upgraded to 16GB of RAM and a SSD, shortly after I received my 'new' MBP in April. You'll notice great speed differences in memory-hungry apps if you upgrade your RAM but you'll really be amazed at the shear speed of an SSD.
    You should consider what's really slowing you down before making any upgrade - I can't imagine running on 4 GB of RAM these days, but then I can't imagine running without my SSD either. If I were you, I would first make the least expensive upgrade - RAM - taking your MBP to it's maximum, and then look at SSD options.
    Please let us know your model - by year is most helpful.

  • Can't upgrade a MacBook Pro(6/2012) to Mountain lion from OSX 10.7.5

    I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2012, it won't upgrade to Mountain lion from OSX 10.7.5?

  • Can i upgrade my macbook pro i5 to a i7 without buying the i7 module?

    so I stay on amazon when it comes to new components for my MacBook Pro, just to see the products that could potincally help me operate the system batter or anything along those lines. So today I went on just to browse and stumbled upon the "intel core i7", now I had originally thought that whatever module you had gotten would be it unless you wanted to shell out another few grand for the i7..
    Upon findind this product it occured to me that maybe I could perchase the i7 processor and then simply install it however need be to upgrade to the i7 without the purchase of another MacBook Pro. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if that is possable, and if you can make your computer an i7 and basicly have it appear as that is how you computer cameupon purchase?
    If anyone could answer this question that would be an amazing help.

    If you want to change the CPU, it is not only the cpu you will have to change, the bus, the controller, ending up in the main board completely, the firmware module, etcetera. Very interesting but twice as expensive as the whole computer.

  • Can I upgrade my MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard straight to Mountain Lion, or would it be wise to get Lion as well?

    I am currently in the process of upgrading the operating system on my girlfriend's MacBook Pro (Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,1). I have purchased and installed Snow Leopard successfully, however I would like to upgrade to the latest operating system, which to date is Moutain Lion.
    Am I able to do this?
    Is it wise to perform such an upgrade on this model of MacBook Pro (can it handle it)?
    I have heard that I can upgrade straight from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing this? Will I lose anything at all by not installing Lion before Mountain Lion?
    Thanks for the help everyone. Hopefully I can get these questions answered soon.

    And the only way to figure that out would be verifying my disk using the Disk Utility?
    Thank you for that. If I am not missing out on anything by skipping Lion then that will be my option. A few extra dollars in my pocket is always a good thing.

  • I can't upgrade my Macbook Pro to Mountain Lion and then Maverics

    It all started with trying to get the latest version of Aperture. I'm running ver 3.4.5 and want to upgrade to ver 3.5. Well it now seems that to upgrade to ver 3.5 I need to upgrade to Maverics, but since Im running Lion ver 10.7.5 I need to upgrade to Mountain Lion first.
    No matter what I clik on or check I'm getting messages saying my Macbook Pro - a 17" 2007 model intel 2.33GHz Core Duo won't upgrade to Maverics and I can't find a link to download to Mountain Lion any longer.
    This is very annoying as there is nothing wrong with the Mac and I only really use it for Aperture.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to upgrade to Mountain Lion and then Meverics? I really don't want to have to buy a new Mac.
    The serial number of my Mac is W871801MX6C.
    Thanks for any help.....

    The maximum OSX for a 2007 17" MBP is Lion, 10.7.5.  stedman1 is correct.
    Ciao.

  • Can i upgrade my macbook pro retina internal storage

    Hi,
    My macbook pro retina came with 128gb internal storage, but i got a gopro recently and the videos take up loads of storage! Can i upgrade the internal storgae or do i have to get an external hard drive to store it on?
    Thanks

    But you will void your warranty if you still have one.
    An external drive is a good, and cheaper option.
