Does Apple do RAM upgrades for you?

I was wondering, if I were to bring my Macbook into and Apple Store, would I able to leave it and have them upgrade RAM for me? I would like to have more, but am a bit nervous to do the task myself, as easy as it may be. And any idea on cost would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Any Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will be able to upgrade your RAM for you, eluve59.
You can find Apple Authorised Service Providers in Canada by using the "locator" at http://www.apple.com/ca/buy/locator/
If you go through an Apple Store then you will find that the cost of the RAM itself is high ($220CA for 4 GB (in 2x 2 GB modules) according to the Apple Canada website). At an AASP it is likely that you will be offered a choice of the official "Apple" RAM at the same price, or the option of lower priced good quality "third party" RAM for substantially less (4 GB of equivalent high quality RAM is available for $100CA or less from many suppliers). The fitting cost should not be high in either case. It is a very simple job.
Cheers
Rod

  • I use Pro Logic 9 and see that to upgrade to Pro Logic X I need to buy the full package again. Does apple offer special conditions for their Apple clients ? Are users of apple care protection plan better served ?

    I use Pro Logic 9.1.8.  and see that to upgrade to Pro Logic X I need to buy the full package again. Does apple offer special conditions for their Apple clients ? Are users of apple care protection plan better served ?

    Old saying applies here most of the time......
    "If it ain't broken, don't fix it"
    I choose to use LP9 with Snow Leopard myself (10.6.8 and 9.1.6) for most of my commercial work simply because I find that combo very stable and provides the best overall performance for my setups here... but I am also using LPX with Mavericks as part of my client support and that works fine too although with a drop in performance due to the heavier demands made on the hardware by the newer OS X and LPX graphic routines for example..

  • How much does Apple Charge to upgrade a 13" MBP Hard Drive?

    How much does Apple Charge to upgrade a 13" MBP Hard Drive?

    You were told wrong. Apple considers the hard drive and RAM to be user-replaceable parts. If they didn't, they wouldn't provide instructions for changing them yourself.
    What type of HDD would you reccomend me purchasing? Looking to get something 750GB+
    I favor Seagate. Others have different preferences. Avoid so-called "green" drives.

  • Ram upgrade for mac Book Pro mid 2009

    Hi, I just bought 2x Kingston 4GB ram upgrades for mid-2009 MacBook Pro. First I don't notice any difference in speed. Second, the computer (in about this mac, activity monitor) doesn't seem to acknowledge it now has 8gb of ram not 4gb. Why would these be so?

    You should be able to install 8GB I would check to make sure it has a secure connection. Maybe one of the RAM sticks is bad, or the port itself is bad.

    They both state that they can support up to 8GB of RAM.

  • Where is the cheapest place to buy 8gb ram upgrade for my early 2009 iMac?

    Where is the cheapest place to buy 8gb ram upgrade for my early 2009 iMac, I have bought before but current upgrade is causing mac to crash randomly!? Need to know a place I can buy Ram which is confirmed to work my my mac model, the current upgrade is working but Mac is very unstable.

    I meant more reasonable priced than apple
    That'll be almost anywhere else then!
    Yes, if it is made by Crucial and confirmed as suitable for your model of mac you will be fine. You can also buy direct from Crucial:

  • Does apple make a printer for iPad if not how dow I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer?

    Does Apple make a printer for the iPad and if not how do I get it to work with a HP Officejet 6500A Plus printer? Thanks

    Apple don't make any printers, but there are a number of the printers that are AirPrint-enabled, which you should be able to print to just by the printer and the iPad being on the same wifi network - the models that support AirPrint are listed on this page (the page also includes a bit of troubleshooting at the bottom of it) and it includes :
    HP Officejet 6500A e-All-In-One E710a
    HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-In-One E710n
    If your's isn't one of those then you could see if HPs own ePrint app works with it, or there are third-party printer apps such as PrintCentral Pro and Print n Share which might work it

    Kindly share the details of any Mobile Application testing certification provided by Apple.

    I'm not aware of any testing done by Apple except as part of the app approval process:

    If you have questions about the review process, though, you can contact Apple via the contact links on that page.

    Nothing.  The 2nd Gen Touch is OBSOLETE and is WAY past its support life.  If you want to run the newer apps you have to buy a newer iPod.

    I appreciate your repsonse, but the irony is that Apple is still scheduling "One-to-One" & Joint Venture training on iWeb knowing that it all will end next June. ..
    Just to add this : iWeb -- the app itself -- is still supported,updated only months ago and as part of the ilife '11 DVDs still widely spread even though it is not sold on the AppStore it is official part of iLife. It runs in Lion and there is zero issues with the app. So a training makes sense, doesn't it ?.
    They would only to exclude the "publish to me.com" part to be up to date for courses and trainings :-≠
