Can you mix ram in a MacBook Pro

There is currently 4gb of ram in my MacBook Pro (two 2gb cards). I was wondering if i could put in a 8gb card with one on the 2gb cards. Will this work or will i have to buy two 4gb cards.

  • Can you use the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display straight out of the box, or do you have to charge it first?

    Can you use the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display straight out of the box, or do you have to charge it up fully before you can use it. I do not want to damage the laptop by misusing the battery.

    Attach the charger and start charging the battery to 100%.  The good news is that after you have connected the charger, you may start using the MBP as well.

  • How can you redo initial system setup macbook pro

    How can you redo initial system setup macbook pro?

    Like when Setup Assistant fires up and lets you migrate? In general, that would imply having to do a complete reinstall. And I've always been under the impression that when you do that, the reinstall software does not contain all the extra goodies that come with a new from-factory install (such as iLife).
    But as Prof. Kappy wants to know, the specifics are very version dependent.

  • Can I put RAM from my MacBook Pro into my MacBook?

    Hi,
    I just bought a 2.5GHz MBP, and I will be ordering 4GB of RAM from Crucial. We also have a 1.83GHz MacBook, which has only 512 MB of RAM installed at the moment...
    Can I use the RAM that will be left over from the MacBook Pro in my MacBook, so that it will have 2GB (its maximum)?
    Thank you!
    Alexandra

    Yes that should work fine. They use the same modules.

  • Can you get windows on a macbook pro without discs?

    hi ive recently bought a MacBook Pro which i am very pleased with however i play a few games on my old pc and i hear i will need to install windows onto my mac using a disc (which i am willing to purchase) HOWEVER i have looked on You tube a few times to watch how to do it and they all use THE ORIGINAL discs which came with their laptop however mine didnt come with any discs is there a way around it if so can someone please tell me step by step as to how to do it?
    Many thanks

    Usually the OEM version of Windows that came with your machine is licensed to that machine only so there isn't a way to legally use that copy of Windows.  Many people think that's unfair but fair and legal aren't always the same thing.
    Sorry

  • Can you mirror iphone 4 to macbook pro using 30-pin digital av adapter?

    I have an iPhone 4 and I want to be able to mirror my device onto my Macbook Pro, without using the internet. So for example if I was not in a location that had internet, I would still be able to do so. I purchased the 30-pin Digital AV Adapter online only to test it and not get anything on my screen but have iTunes open. Is this because I have an iPhone 4, would this accessory with with an iPhone 4S, or get the lightning adapater to work with the iPhone 5. Does anyone else know of other options that do not involve using internet.

    I use the 30 Pin Av Adapter from Apple, and it works on my iPad 2 running iOS 6.1.3. So not sure what those reviews would be talking about.
    Just to be sure there's no confusion: there's a difference between the 30 Pin Digital AV Adapter
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter
    And the 30 Pin to Lightning Adapter
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
    The 30 pin to Lightning in fact does not support Video output, but if you have a newer iPad. (4 or a Mini) you can use a Lightning Digital Av Adapter
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter
    For older iPads the 30 Pin Digital Av Adapter works just fine, in all iOS versions I've tried it on.  In fact I can use it on a first generation iPad running iOS 4.3.3 to view movies from the Videos App just fine.
    All of these will require an HDMi cable and a TV with an HDMI input.  Most recent TV's have this. 
    The Apple TV will connect to an iPad wirelessly, but is also double the price of the adapters, and still requires the HDMI cable and port on the TV to connect to.
    I'd suggest the adapter that fits your iPad over the Apple TV unless you really need to have the connection be wireless from the iPad to the Apple Tv box.
    For Apps that don't have Video Output, the only eay to view the is to Mirror the iPads screen, and for that you need an iPad 2 or newer. As the First Generation iPad  cannot do this.

  • Where can i find ram for 13" macbook pro mid 2009?

    I upgraded from 2G to 4G 2-3 years ago. Now I'd like to go to 8G, but Apple doesn't appear to be selling it anymore.
    Any suggestions for a reliable 3rd party solution?
    Here's a few specs of my Macbook Pro:
    MacBook Pro
    13-inch, Mid 2009
    Processor  2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Thanks,
    Ty

    Thanks very much!
    Crucial looks good. Can't believe how inexpensive RAM has gotten for this MAC!
    I also saw they have a Seagate 1TB internal hard-drive for $105?
    http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Apple/macbook-pro-%2813-inc h%2C-mid-2009%29
    Considering I only have 160gb internal right now, that's pretty hard to pass up too.

  • Can you play blu ray on MacBook Pro

    I have a MacBook Pro and I am wondering if I can play Blu ray movies on my MacBook?

    Of course you can...
    I bought this off of amazon.com... Samsung SE-506BB. Took me a while to understand the difference between AB and BB, found that BB is the latest version with a few bugs resolved.
    Get Macgo from http://www.macblurayplayer.com... Download the trail version... I have been playing Blurays using this...
    enjoy
    Thanks & Regards
    Techno.
    Forgot to add... Unlike OWC, Samsung doesnt need an external power supply... Good for carrying around...

  • Can you add RAM to 2GB MacBook Air after purchase?

    I'm thinking of getting a Macbook Air. Money is tight and 2GB RAM is cheaper than 4GB. If you purchase a 2GB MacBook Air, can you later add more RAM?

    Depending on what you are planning to use the system for, adding more RAM may not be an issue. The current 11" entry-level MBA is a capable system which would only really begin to bog down if you were intent on running a number of applications at the same time. While 2Gb RAM is really the minimum for running Lion efficiently, the use of an SSD rather than traditional hard drive actually helps keep performance levels up, even when the system has to use virtual memory.
    To my mind, for the average user, the 60Gb drive is more of a limiting factor.

  • Can't upgrade RAM on new Macbook Pros?

    I'm preparing to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have been told that the RAM that comes with the book is the RAM you get. No upgrade possible because the RAM modules are soldered into place. Is that so? I've always upgraded our computers to the max. Thanks in advance.

    That is indeed so.
    There still appears to be one model (13" Mid 2012) that is still available that has upgradable RAM.

  • If you already bought the windows version of office (Microsoft, Powerpoint...) can you run it on the macbook pro? Please help.

    Can you run the windows version of Office 2010 on a macbook pro? please answer back.

    Yes, if you use Boot Camp to run Windows on your Mac, Microsoft Office 2010 will be able to run without any issues. If you want to run Microsoft Office from within Mac OS X, you would need to purchase Microsoft Office for Mac.
    Hope that helps, have a great day.

  • Can you tell my why my MacBook Pro switches to my desktop without me doing it?

    I can be using any program, or just be on the internet, and all of a sudden my MacBook Pro will switch over to the desktop. I then have to drag the screen down to get back to where I was.

    My first guess would be that somthing is casuing your keyoard to invoke some keystroke combinations that bring the finder/desktop to the front. Could be a defective keyboard, or could be that moisture somehow got to your keyboard.
    Are other apps closing or crashing when this happens, or do he other apps stay open?
