How do I know the correct memory to get for my MacBook Pro?

Hi, hoping someone can help me with this. I have a MacBook Pro. These are the specs:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.6 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP41.00C1.B03
SMC Version: 1.28f1
Serial Number:
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled
It has 4 Gigs but I want to put in the maximum possible amount of memory. How do I know the maximum that the system can take and can someone let me know which ones to buy/what memory is compatible? I buy from this site: www.komplett.ie. Thanks.

"I was of the impression you could install up to 16 Gigs? Am I thinking of a PowerMac G5?"
Yes.

  • HT1635 How do I know which Hard Drive to get for my MacBook 2006? The old Hard Drive is a Toshiba (MK8034GSX) S/N Z6APT2XUT 9H5 EC. A?

    How do I know which Hard Drive to get for my MacBook 2006? The old Hard Drive is a Toshiba (MK8034GSX) S/N Z6APT2XUT 9H5 EC. A?

    I've put a 250gb 7200rpm drive in an Early 2006 with no problems.
    For a new hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE
    Or OWC  http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
    Here are instructions on replacing the hard drive in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
    To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.
    Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/HDE-SATA-Hard-Drive-Enclosure/dp/B001AAVA08/ref=pd_bxgy_pc _text_b
    If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5

  • I'm traveling to London for the summer, does anyone know a good power adapter/converter for my MacBook Pro?

    I'm traveling to London for the summer, does anyone know a good power adapter/converter for my MacBook Pro? I know there's the Travel Adapter Kit but it's only for iPhones, iPods, iPad, etc.

    Apple World Travel Adapter Kit
    The World Travel Adapter Kit includes the Apple USB Power Adapter, USB Cable and six interchangeable AC adapter plugs for use with iPod, iPhone, and iPad. The adapter plugs can also be used with Apple MagSafe Power Adapters, Portable Power Adapters, and AirPort Express, so you can plug your power adapter into most electrical outlets around the world.

    If they are the grey discs which came with the iMac, then they will be machine specific and will not work on the MBP anyway. You will need to purchase a retail copy of Snow Leopard from the Apple Store for about $29 and upgrade from that. I presume your MBP is Intel and not G4.

    Only by dropping the resolution in the System Preferences which has limited results.
    With Safari there isn't a whole lot of choices, just a increase in the text on web pages which doesn't hold and tends to distort pages.
    A better option for surfing is Firefox and the Add-ons: NoSquint and Theme Font & Size Changer.
    NoSquint puts two zoom in/out buttons on the toolbar, you can set a global whole web page increase (not just type) and best of all it remembers that zoom setting for that site forever (unless you clear it out)
    Now the other Add-on: Theme Font & Size Changer, allows you to increase the font size of Firefox itself, so the text buttons, google search bar and URL bar is all at a increased font size, making it easier to read.
    On my 17" I got Firefox font size set at a 24 pt and web pages globally set of a defualt zoom of 170%, which appears to me to be twice the size of the type in OS X.
    I also have a deep blue Firefox "persona" that colors the toolbar area, with white type the contrast makes it easier to read for me as well.

  • Which model of memory upgrade should I get for my MacBook Pro early 2011 model? I now have 2 - 2GB modules.

    Which model of memory upgrade should I get for my MacBook Pro early 2011 model? I now have 2 - 2GB modules.

    Installing RAM in a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro
    There is really only one way to install RAM into a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro and while there are hundreds of DIY videos online, I just like this one, found on YouTube, by “macmixing”.
    Note that there is a difference in the RAM that should be used in 2011 and 2012 models.
    2011 models must use:
    •204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    And 2012 models must use:
    •204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    So here's the video:
    Remember that the 13", 15" and 17" 2011 models (early or late) and the 13" and 15" mid-2012 non-Retina models can handle 4GB, 8GB or (unofficially, but, believe me, it works) 16GB of RAM. There are, in my opinion, only two 100% Mac-compatible vendors out there: Crucial and OWC. I really can't recommend any other brands, even though it may work, as these are the only brands that I've personally used in quite a while. Also remember to stay away from any RAM that is a “value” brand - Macs are picky about RAM and often these value RAM modules just don’t work very well.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • My memory is 4gb for my macbook pro what is ram??

    My memory is 4gb for my macbook pro what is ram??

    RAM = Random Access Memory
    the 4GB you quoted is your system memory, people say get as much as you can as it attributes to the performance of your system with major impact.
    other people disagree.. 
    quote: "640K ought to be enough for anybody." - Bill Gates, 1981
    4GB is approx 4,194,304 K

  • HT4260 I did everything the article suggests. And for my macbook pro it works perfectly. But all the other devices (iphone 5, 4, Macbook Air) can't connect to the network. Anybody any idea's?

    I did everything the article suggests. And for my macbook pro it works perfectly. But all the other devices (iphone 5, 4, Macbook Air) can't connect to the network. Anybody any idea's?

    Try resetting your modem. Power it down. Wait a moment, then power it up again. While it resets, do not change what is connected to it.
    In another, though unrelated article, Apple recommends the following:
    If you have configured your Wi-Fi base stations in the past, it may be helpful to do a factory default reset of each Wi-Fi base station that will be part of the wireless extended network before you begin.
    This step really ought not be considered optional for the configuration you propose. If the problem persists after resetting your modem, reset everything else too.

    You stumbled on a Mac Tower forum, not notebooks.
    If you are running 10.6.8 then you must have bought it 3-4 yrs ago?
    Might want to check the specs and then look at various programs and their requirements as to whether Final Cut Express and ah, you want to import media to an app, not "upload."

  • Hi.  how do I change the phone number on Messages on my macbook pro?, Hi.  how do I change the phone number on Messages on my macbook pro?

    Hey how do I change the phone # for my Macbook pro for messaging?

    Hi crupperdk!
    This behavior is activated by having your Apple ID used in iMessage on a phone. Here is an article with more information about this:
    iOS: Using Messages
    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529
    How can I use my iPhone telephone number with iMessage on my iPad, iPod touch, or Messages for Mac?
    You can link your iPhone telephone number to your Apple ID for use on your iPad, iPod touch, or Messages for Mac by signing into iMessage with your Apple ID in Settings > Messages. Then sign in to the other device with the same Apple ID in these locations:
    iPad and iPod touch: sign in to iMessage in Settings > Messages.
    Messages for Mac: sign in to iMessage in Messages > Preferences > Accounts.
    Linking your iPhone telephone number with iMessage is not available for the iPad (1st generation) and iPod touch (3rd generation).
    Follow these steps for more information or if you are experiencing difficulties linking your iPhone telephone number to your Apple ID.
    If an unknown device registers with your Apple ID and you did not initiate that registration, you can reset your Apple ID password to remove it. You will then need to enter this new password on all devices using iMessage or FaceTime.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Braden
