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 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.

  • 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.

    i have a macbook air with a 128gb ssd drive and want to install a larger drive. where can I buy the drive from and how do I install it?

    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.

    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 you upgrade the RAM on a Retina Display Macbook Pro?

    So I've been looking around for information on whether the RAM on a Retina Macbook Pro can be upgraded and the mixed messages have left me confused. If I take my Macbook Pro (Retina Display) to an Apple store for a RAM upgrade and offer to pay them for the RAM and installation, would they do it for me?
    Thanks and if you can't, please explain why.
    I am aware that the RAM is soldered into the motherboard making it very difficult to perform the upgrade, but will some stores actually do it for you?

    The MacBook Pro with Retina display is soldered onto the logic board, so RAM can't be added without replacing the logic board.
    I know there are shops that may try to add more RAM without replacing the logic board, but they aren't official resellers and if something happens, the warranty will be voided. Apple won't do it.
    If you want, you can sell your MacBook Pro and get another one with more RAM. It's the best way to do it, because I don't think you want to spend a lot of money replacing the logic board or you want to take it to a non-official technical support, putting the Mac in risk

  • 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)
