How much memory can i upgrade on my macbook pro?

I have a mid year mackbook pro 2009 with 2gb of memory. When I updated to Lion my system has begun to crawl and barely function. I want to upgrade my memory and I would like to get 8gb of memory from crucial...I don't know if my computer can hold that much. How do I find this out?

Your computer can accept a maximum of 8GB RAM.

i currently upgrade my MacBook Pro mid 2009 with 2x 4GHZ 1066 mhz ddr3 and keeps on quitting while I'm using it. why?

What brand of RAM did you purchase?
Have you taken out the modules , cleaned the contacts and reinstalled them?
Have you tried the original RAM?
Have you run an Apple hardware Test?

MacBook Pro (late 2006)
Processor 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Current memory: 2GB (two SO-DIMMs) 667 MHz DDRs SDRAM (PC2-5300)

How much memory can I put in my MacBook?

Hey,
I have a MacBook.
Processor 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
and I am wondering how much memory I can put in the thing.
By day my wife uses it for work and pictures and stuff and by night I use it for DJing so I need AS MUCH space as possible.
Thank you for your time!!

Up to 6gb although 4gb would be cheaper http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook/White/2.13GHz

I want to upgrade my RAM, as the computer is showing a bit of age at 3 years old now. I looked at this support page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270#link8
And judged the installation to be easy enough for me to do, but I'm confused as to how much RAM I can buy. The conflict I see is that "Additional notes" says I can use up to 8GB of RAM, but the table says only 4GB. What's throwing me off is basic math -- is that 4GB only referring to my slots (thus 4+4=8) or is it saying that anything over 4GB will not be recognized by my computer?
I spoke with someone at Apple, but he seemed a bit confused by my question, and eventually gave me a "yes" that was timid enough that I felt the need to post here. So, I'd appreciate the support! Thanks a lot, everyone. I'm just looking to not spend more than I need (in terms of buying excess RAM), and make sure I don't ruin my Mac in the process.

The MacBook Pro 4,1 can acces a maximum RAM of 6GB
However RAM comes in 4GB modules and you have two slots, so you install 8GB (two 4GB modules) and can only access 6GB of it according to MacTracker.
Use the free Crucial.com site to make sure your getting the extact specified RAM specs, you can buy it anywhere if you like.

How much RAM can i put in my MacBook Pro 13inch?8GB or 16GB?

I want to upgrade the RAM in my MacBook Pro and wanted to know how much is possible technically. I read 16GB are possible but Apple says 8GB optional.What is right?16GB or 8GB

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. Apple says that it only supports 8 GB of memory, but the truth is that you can install up to 16 GB (2x8 GB) of memory on a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro.
If you want 16 GB of memory, you can buy memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility as OWC). If you need help installing memory > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270#link1

How much RAM can I put in my Macbook Pro (late 2006), and how much will it cost me?

I am currently running at a:
2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM in Memory
ATI Radeon X1600 256 MB in Graphics
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) in Software
& it's a 15inch Macbook Pro incapable of upgrading to Mountain Lion.
I know i have a lot of limitations due to the age of this mac, but I would like
to know as to how far I can go with the one that I have. Please help.

Your MBP will be able to use a maximum of 3 Gb RAM. The exact specifications are: 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM. Best sources are Crucial and OWC. Their websites will have the prices.
Snow Leopard is an excellent OS. I have it on my 2010 MBP and have no intention of installing Lion/Mt Lion. It is stable and efficient, more so than the newer ones. Do not view that as a handicap.
You might also consider installing a larger HDD. Your MBP can handle the largest ones available to day (1 Tb). For a pre-unibody MBP, it is a bit harder than the current crop but achievable of you have rudimentary mechanical skills and a bit of patience. See the OWC website for excellent how to do it videos.

How much RAM can I install on my MacBook Pro?

I'm thinking of upgrading the RAM on my MacBook Pro 13-inch Late 2012 Non-Retina with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 chip in it. I currently have 4GB of RAM in it (2x4) and I want to upgrade to 16GB of RAM (2x8). Can I do this upgrade?

Sure, you can remove the Ram that you have and replace it with 2 x 8GB chips. Macs are picky about Ram, buy it from OWC, or Crucial.

How much RAM can I install in my Macbook Pro?

I have a late 2011 model Macbook Pro. It is a 13 inch with 2.8 Ghz Intel i7 duo core processor and 4 GB (2 x 2) RAM. Can I upgrade to 16 GB (2 x 8) RAM?

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 three 100% Mac-compatible vendors out there: Corsair, 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

How much ram can you put in a Macbook Pro 7,1?

I have what I thought was 2011 macbook pro, but when I just looked it up the 7,1 appears to be a 2010. Anyway, I want to max out the ram. OWC says you can put in 16GB of the DDR3 1066MHz SO-DIMM; here is the link: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/8566DDR3S16P/ Has anyone done this and does it work?

If OWC says it will work, it will work. The 2010 13" MBP can accept 16 GB RAM due to a relatively new firmware update. Other 2010 MBPs cannot (still).
Ciao.
Carefull on the specifications! They should be: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.

I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to be able to use iCloud, but need Lion which is too big. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to Lion, in order to use iCloud, but the specs indicate I don't have enough memory. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

I believe your model iMac can address 3 GB RAM; the minimum for Lion is 2 GB - however, that is an absolute minimum for very light use. You would be much happier with a minimum of 4 GB.

(You can install 4 GB, but it will only be able to address about 3.1 - 3.2 GB)
