How do I add memory to a MacBook Pro?

How do I add memory to my MacBook Pro?

You have to open the bottom cover of the MBP to get to the memory slots. There are about 10 very small screws around the perimeter, some of which are longer than others so you have to be very careful not to mix them up when you take the cover off. You will need a very small phillips-head screwdriver (small jewelers size). Once you have removed the screws you may have to gently pry the cover off (there is some sticky stuff inside). You will then see the RAM slots more or less in the middle of the computer.
The booklet that came with your MBP has instructions about how to insert/remove the RAM SODIMMs ... there is a plastic tab on each side of the SODIMMs that you push outward and the RAM will pop up slightly ... you can then gently pull it out. Note there is a slot cut in the pin edge of the SODIMMs ... remember it's orientation so you put the new RAM in the same way. It only goes in one way.
It's wise to use the crucial.com Memory Advisor first so you get the exact kind & amount of RAM that is compatible with your MBP.

How can increase the memory of my macbook pro retina??

I have a macbook pro with retina display. It has 121 flash memory and i want to have more, is this possible??
(sorry if the question is to stupid, but i dont understand to much about computers and memory)
Thanks

Actually, the storage (SSD, like a hard drive) is replaceable, though doing so voids your warranty. Check here, but make sure you find the exact model Mac you have.

How do I upgrade memory on my MacBook Pro 2012

I installed Yosemite and now my MacBook Pro (2012) has slowed dramatically. I have two memory slots, total 8GB.

Hi,
You should have enough RAM with 8gb. There may be other reasons your computer is slow.
You can upgrade to a maximum of 16gb. Visit the OWC site for more info.

How do you add more memory to a macbook circa 2007

how do you add memory to a macbook mid-2007?

>If you have a Mid 2007 MacBook, that can use up to 3GB RAM.
Since that model can use an odd number RAM capacity upgrade, with
a total of 3GB between two memory slot locations, you could put one
piece of RAM of 1-GB in a slot, and in the other, a 2-GB RAM chip...
Maximum Memory:    3.0 GB (Actual) 2.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots:    2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
•MacBook: How to remove or install memory
>If you have a Late 2007 MacBook, that can use up to 6GB RAM:
Maximum Memory:    6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots:    2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
Recommendations have been to check the spec and model computer
against the on-site parts suggestions for the computer model identifier
at OWC macsales.com, or check into Crucial.com for specific match
based on their information. OWC tends to be an easier way if you know
the MacBook model identifier, and if yours actually is the Mid-2007 vs
another different one. The Late-2007 can use up to 6GB RAM.
•The identifiers for Mid-2007 MacBook 13-inch:
Introduced    May 2007
Discontinued    November 2007
Model Identifier    MacBook2,1
Model Number    A1181
EMC    2139
Order Number    MB061LL/A (White), MB062LL/A (White), MB063LL/A (Black)
•The identifiers for Late-2007 MacBook 13-inch:
Introduced    November 2007
Discontinued    February 2008
Model Identifier    MacBook3,1
Model Number    A1181
EMC    2200
Order Number    MB061LL/B (White), MB062LL/B (White), MB063LL/B (Black)
{as you may notice, some identification numbers are recycled; for confusion sake}
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have copied videos onto an external hard drive. to free memory on my macbook. When I try to delete these I am woarned that I will not be able to use this video in existing projects
How do I point iMovie to events in my external hard drive so I can play projects which use them?
MacBook, iMovie 9.0.4

Hi
You can do this - by not doing it the way You describe as it will not work.
a. the external hard disk - MUST BE - Mac OS extended (hfs) formatted -
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - will work for most things - BUT NOT FOR VIDEO (iMovie, iDVD or FinalCut doesn't matter)
b. Do not alter or move any folder named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder - at all
All moving's of Events and Projects must be done within the iMovie Application - then connections will not break.
(move them back and see if iMovie remembers them - then do move as described above)

How do i install more memory in my macbook air? it only has 4GB

How can i install more memory in my macbook air? it has 4GB only and it keeps telling me my start up disk is full.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
In the case of the MacBook Pro with Retina display and the MacBook Air, memory is soldered into the logic board, so you can't add more memory after buying the MacBook.
However, memory isn't your problem. One thing is the memory and another thing is the hard drive, and you are running out of space in the hard drive, not in memory.
To fix this, just delete files that you don't need, or move them to an external drive, in order to make free space on your MacBook

How do I get more memory for my Macbook Pro Spring 2010 13-inch with 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo?

How do I get more memory for my Macbook Pro spring 2010 13-inch with 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Apple says no memory currently available for that model. I have 4 GB memory and 3.99 used. Help!

Now I'm confused. This is the one Crucial told me to get:

Also what do you mean that actual memory is 16GB but with Apple it's 8?
When I go to the "About this Mac" it says Memory 4G 1067 MHz DDR3, then when I go to System Report it says
Memory Slot
Bank 0/ DIMM0 2G DDR3 1067 MHZ OK
Bank 1/ DIMM0 2G DDR3 1067 MHZ OK
Sorry I'm clueless. Just don't want to buy something that messes up my machine more than it already is.
The Crucial site appears to have recommended the correct spec 4gB RAM stick for your model. Please note that you will need to remove the existing sticks of RAM to install new, so you will need 2x4gB to get to 8gB.
When your model of computer was designed/built, it was tested with readily available 2x4gB (8gB). After release RAM retailers have tested it with higher amounts, and Apple didn't update their quoted specs.

How to free up memory in MacBook Pro?

How to free up memory in MacBook Pro? (How to avoid getting the revolving rainbow?)

I compressed some programs and data. I now have 4.56 GB free.
SMART UTILITY http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php
CAPACITY 80.0 GB
SMART STATUS: YELLOW and "FAILING"
"Removed 29 bad sectors
Total errors 1708
Reallocated 308 bad sectors"
Do I need to buy Smart Utility?
Had 5 simultaneous errors at READ DMA EXT. (I don't know what that means). I don't see all the windows that the web site shows. I guess that is for purchased downloads.
I'd like to reinstate MobileMe's Backup function. Apple says it will work until June so that I could back that up until I get the backup hard drive. I was in the store last week; iCloud will not work on my computer.
Thanks, DOTro

Where can i buy original memory for my macbook pro 13inc mid 2012 and how much is this ?

Where can i buy original memory for my macbook pro 13inc mid 2012 and how much is this ?

"Memory sold by the Apple Online Store is guaranteed to be compatible with your Macintosh."
http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/memory
Other than Apple there are only two vendors with which I have personal experience and can recommend: Crucial and OWC. People have reported problems with many other brands, yet Crucial and OWC's prices are as good as any you are likely to find.
Go to Crucial and download the little app that examines your system and recommends RAM upgrade options.
Their prices are good but don't have to buy memory from them - determine what you need and buy it from Crucial or OWC / MacSales. You'd be paying Apple a lot more than either one of them, and you don't have to.

How can I zero out the memory on my macbook air?

I have an 11 inch mid 2011 macbook air and cannot figure out how to erase the memory so that none of the data is recoverable. I booted from the recovery HD but when I went to the erase section of the menu, the security options button and the zero out empty space option were both greyed out. How can I clean off my Mac?

You can't, and don't need to, zero an SSD in Disk Utility. Once you've erased it the data is unrecoverable.

How do I install more memory to my macbook air

Does anyone know how to install more memory to my 2012 macbok air?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you are referring to RAM, you cannot. RAM is soldered onto the logic board.
If you are referring to the hard drive (or flash storage), you can replace it for a bigger one, but I do not recommend you to do it. Instead, buy an external drive, which is cheaper, does not void the warranty and it can be bigger than a new internal drive
