How do I upgrade (via Apple) SSD (to 500 GB or 1 TB) on Macbook Pro Retina 13-inch, Late 2012

How do I upgrade (via Apple) SSD (to 500 GB or 1 TB) on Macbook Pro Retina 13-inch, Late 2012.
I want to know how much Apple will charge for this (if they even do this since I don't see it on their website).

Apple does not upgrade parts of a machine - they'll have it repaired under warranty, but no upgrades. You can, however, take it to an authorized service provider; no idea how much they would charge.
You can also do this yourself - here is an installation video:

I bought one of their SSDs and installed it in my 2012 MBP (not retina) - very easy to do. If you want to go this way, post back for instructions on how to clone your current drive which will make things super easy.

  • Can i upgrade my RAM on my MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch late 2012?

    Hello,
    Since yesterday i keep getting a screen which says my Program memory is low. and it keeps pausing the programs which are currently open.
    then it gives me the option to force quit them. I also did disk utility. i cleaned languages which i don't need on my macbook. and i also cleaned my Cache.
    I went from like 21 GB to 33 GB free of 120 GB.
    Later i got an message again. so i'm really wondering if i should upgrade my RAM. its 8 GB 1600 Mhz.
    As im a graphic designer i only use adobe programs. i don't got films or anything like that which could be the problem of a lot of disk space.
    So i really don't know how this is possible.
    Greetings,
    Lars

  • I own a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) with a 500 GB Apple SSD SM0512F (Revision UXM2JA1Q).

    I own a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) with a 500 GB Apple SSD SM0512F (Revision UXM2JA1Q). I’d like to replace this original SSD with a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 1TB. Am I going to encounter problems in trying to remove & replace the SSDs? That is, are they the same type of SSD, with same connection?
    I plan to have a "tech" do the actual work inside the MacBook Pro, but I'd like to know if the current SSD can be easily replaced with the Samsung SSD 840 EVO?
    Please note that I am so "green" that I'm not even sure if this provides adequate information to answer my question!

    it's not possible to replace your SSD with 840 EVO.
    Samsung 840 EVO is a standard 2.5" drive with SATA connector, while Retina MacBooks use proprietary "stick" form-factor with PCI Express interface.
    AFAIK, there are no compatible PCIe SSDs on the market, the only upgrades you'll find are for earlier (2012) Retina MacBook Pros which use SATA.
    If you're looking for extra capacity, external USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt HDD/SSD is the best option.

  • Is it possible to upgrade ram for a MacBook Pro Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013

    I own a MacBook Pro 13- inch late 2013 model and wanted to upgrade my memory, but i have read online that this is not possible as the ram is soldered onto the board . Could someone please give me a clarification on this?

    This is correct...
    MacBook Pro with Retina display comes standard with 4GB of 1600MHz memory. Please note that the memory is built into the computer, so if you think you may need more memory in the future, it is important to upgrade at the time of purchase.

  • How do I download Rocksmith 2014 (or any software for that matter) onto my Macbook Pro Retina without a disc drive?

    Question says it all!   I got Rocksmith 2014 for Christmas which comes with an installation disc as well as a cable... The problem is that macbook pro retinas don't have a disc drive.  How can I install the game?

    Inside the package is a serial number - basically install steam, and then use that serial number to buy/download the software.

  • How can i upgrade my apple ssd with SATA300 and TRIM support

    i pick an 256GB ssd from my MBP and install it on my computer.
    win7 reads it as "APPLE SSD TS256A" and the firmware is "AGAB0202" but it only shows SATA150 support, not SATA300.
    in the test it also show 130MB readspeed.
    the ssd model is THNS256GG8BBAA, does apple has an firmware update for this ssd to support SATA300?

  • How Can I get my JayBird Freedom Bluetooth Earbud Headset to Work with my MacBook Pro-Retina

    I have a 1st gen iPad and a relatively new MacBook Pro 15 Retina.  As well, I also have a Jaybird Freedom Bluetooth Earbud Headset (Mic/Stereo Speakers).  Finally, I have a Droid X (I'll explain in a minute why I mention this).
    My BT Earbuds can pair with my iPad and my Droid X just fine.  As a matter of fact, it can bind with my iPad for audio, and my Droid X for phone audio at the same time.  However, even when the Droid X and the iPad BT is disabled (on both), my MacBook Pro will not work with the Bluetooth earbuds.  I am able to pair them (it shows as a Jaybird Freed Headset, and shows that it can be used as an audio output/input device), but when I try to use the earbuds for audio, it almost hangs up for a few moments, then finally fails and reports that "there was an errr connecting to your audio device.." with the "stop using headset" as my only option.
    My MacBook Pro Gen 2 with Snow Leopard used to be able to pair with this headset.  I'm not sure if it is the OS or the newew generation laptop.  I have seen a few other threads on this, but no fixes that work for me.

    Just posted a problem I'm having connecting my Jaybird Freedom and iPhone5 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4716045). The Jaybirds connected fine with an iPhone4s and another (forgotten) device so I don't think the problem lies with the Jaybird. I'd be interested if you hear differently.

  • My letter "A" in my macbook pro retina 13 inch keyboard is broken does my warranty with apple cover it i bought my computer just 5 months ago :(

    yeah as the title states it  my macbook pro letter A is broken does apple cover it or do i need to pay for it?

    The Apple warranty is one year, so take it to an Apple store genius bar for examination by the techs.  They will determine the reason for the breakage and overage.

  • How to wipe Macbook pro HD for selling (late 2012) (did not come with instal Disk)

    I own a late 2012 macbook pro and looking to sell it
    It is a 750 GB HD i7 8 GB ram 13.3 inch. 10.9.1 Maverick OSX
    When i started it up (Don't know what version at the time) it was already preinstalled and didn't have a Software disc. So i'm searching through old post and they all say i must have a disc to reinstall the software disc (I never had one) after Wiping the HD.
    Question is... Can i just wipe the HD and throw it in the box along with everything else it came with and put it on ebay? I don't care for saving files as there is barely anything on it.

    If it didn't take for some reason, go to System Preferences… and select the Languages & Text preference pane and reorder the languages accordingly.
    Note however that specifying a language may not necessarily change everything about a system to being in that language.
