First time buyer should I add more memory to Mac book pro

This is my first time buying a Mac I'm gonna get the
MacBook pro 13' with 750GB my biggest fear is running out of memory. So Should I upgrade the memory I'm not sure?

I totally missed the point about 13". There is no retina 13" so my response is meaningless, unless you change your mind and get a 15". Sorry about that.

    Should I add more memory when I updaate my iMac from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard?

    Actually, you have a Late 2006 model iMac that can use a Maximum of 3 GB of RAM.  See the link below.  So you can use a 1 GB and a 2GB modules.

  • What OSX should I use on my 2009 MAC Book Pro? Will Yosemite run

    Hi I have a Mac Book Pro from 2009 and I was wondering what OSX should I use on my 2009 MAC Book Pro? Will Yosemite run properly on this computer?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your Mac supports OS X Yosemite. If you need to upgrade your Mac, do it, but if you are happy with the OS X version you are running or you do not like changes (OS X Yosemite has got an interface change), you can keep it always that it is not very old.
    In order to upgrade to OS X Yosemite, it is as simple as opening the Mac App Store and downloading OS X Yosemite. When the download finishes, the installer will show up, so follow its steps. Before upgrading, it is important to make a backup of your files with Time Machine -> Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support You can also check that your applications are compatible with Yosemite in this website -> http://www.roaringapps.com
    OS X Yosemite should run properly, but I recommend you to run it with at least 4 GB of RAM (you can check how much RAM you have in the Apple menu -> About this Mac). In case Yosemite runs slowly, the backup you made will let you go back to your old version.

    Related errors: 17, 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, 3000, 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, or 3200. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software," or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build."
    Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.

  • Can i add more memory to my macbook pro?

    It currently has 4 GB installed. Can I add more memory?

    Which model MBP do you have? 15" late 2011, for example.
    Go to the Crucial website and use the System Scanner tab to determine which upgrades are available for your model - you don't have to buy from Crucial, but they do offer some of the best RAM for Macs available.
    Good luck,

  • Can I add more memory to a MacBook Pro after purchase?

    What can handle the most memory (RAM?) and speed - MacBook Pro or iMac?  I'll be using Adobe Creative Suite 6.  I prefer MacBook Pro because of portability, but don't know how it compares to iMac in memory and speed.  Thank you.

    The only currently produced MacBook Pro with user-replaceable memory is the entry level, non-Retina model.
    The only currently produced iMac with user-replaceable memory is the 27" model.
    The MacBook Pro can address as much as 16 GB RAM (though that configuration is not available from Apple).
    The iMac can address as much as 32 GB.
    Creative Suite 6 will work fine on either one but the iMac is by far the more capable of the two models.

  • How do I add more memory to my MacBook Pro?

    I have 320 GB but it's not nearly enough and, ideally, I'd like to add another 500GB.
    Is that possible, how do i do it, and what are the risks?
    I mentioned it in passing when I was in the Apple Genius Bar on something else and they suggested they might help (which surprised me, as I presumed Apple wouldn't necessarily endorse doing it).
    Thank you.

    I have a number of external hard drives but I carry my Mac with my quite a lot so I want a bigger hard drive within the computer. Any UK users recommend somewhere to buy from and what brand?
    Thanks

  • I have an outlook email through hot mail, how to I add it to my mac book pro

    help

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Although Outlook is not an option included by Apple by default in System Preferences > Internet Accounts, the process is not difficult.
    As you probably want to add your Outlook account in Mail, open Mail and go to Mail menu (in the menu bar) > Add Account. Choose the option to add a different account and type your Outlook mail address and your password.

  • Posso mettere 16gb di memoria nel mac book pro?

    ciao a tutti, ho letto qua e la che non posso mettere più di 8 gb di ram nel MacBook 13".....
    Qualcuno di voi potrebbe farmi sapere se c'è un modo per espandere la memoria a 16gb????

    Se hai un 2011 o 2012 MBP 13" è possibile aggiungere fino a 16GB di RAM essere certi di ottenere la RAM corretta -.. 1333 per una 2011 o 1600 MHz per un 2012 Essere certi di acquistare un marchio di qualità.

    They told me to change to these about a year ago:
    Dear Valued Verizon Customer,
    To further improve security and your online experience, Verizon has modified the way Verizon.net email is handled when sent or received through an email application (such as Outlook Express®, MS Outlook, Windows Live Mail or via hand-held devices).

    Depending on your email application, you may need to disable/turn off Secure Password Authentication and, if applicable, make sure your Authentication method is set to “Password” or “Normal password.” In addition, you may need to reboot/restart your device for these new settings to take effect and for your email to continue working properly.

  • Using Time Capsule to back up Mac Book Pro and external drive

    we're changing our main computer in the house to our mac book pro, which is not currently backed up, so i'm thinking of buying a time capsule. our current main machine is an old pc with two external hard drives connected....one used as the main file storage location and the second as a back up location. the main large files on these drivers are photo's, videos and scanned documents. can i use the time capsule to back up the mac book with an external hard drive connected to it? i'm thinking of leaving all the photo's, videos, documents, etc. on the external harddrive but want to be able to back it up to the time capsule as well as backing up the mac book pro. can backing up the external hard drive be set up to activate automatically daily as I think the mac book can? thanks

    This is not as simple as it could be..
    Firstly the Mac can read the external drives via the PC if they are shared to the network.. it cannot read them directly plugged into the Mac or the TC.
    Also the TC is not really designed to store files.. it is a location for backups by TM..
    Read some of the stuff Pondini.. our local Time Machine expert.
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    Q3 here is relevant. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    The hard drives would have to be plugged directly into the Mac to be backed up and they would have to be reformatted to Mac format. So you would need to offload the files.. format and then load the files back.. no trivial task.

  • Hello, how would I go about using my time capsule as an external hard drive for my Mac book pro?

    Anybody know if I can use my time capsule as an external hard drive for Mac book pro?

    Just recognise the following.
    Store files on the TC.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
    This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
    The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
    It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
    Major issues.
    1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
    2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
    3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
    4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
    5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
    6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
    7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.
    Read pondini for some work arounds.
