I want to upgrade my ram macbook pro 15'' without retina to 16gb and want more than 1600 hz
I have a Mac book Pro 15 inch without retina I wish to upgrade the RAM 4 GB to 16GB and I want to putting a ram with more speed then 1600 GHz can someone please tell me what is the maximum and if possible where can I buy it from it has to be compatible with my mac or else it's pointless.
Regards Axl
Sorry, read the post as with retina.
Standard RAM:
4 GB
Maximum RAM:
16 GB*
Details:
4 GB of RAM is installed as two 2 GB modules, no slots free. *Apple officially supports a maximum of 8 GB of RAM, but third-parties have determined that this model actually is capable of using up to 16 GB of RAM with two 8 GB memory modules. In the US (and many other countries), site sponsor Other World Computing sells memory -- as well as other upgrades -- for this MacBook Pro.
http://www.everymac.com
The link you posted is compatible RAM and from a reputable company. I bought my 2 X 8 GB modules from crucial when I upgraded my MBP RAM to 16 GB.
Go with that kit.
Note that DDR3 1600 MHz RAM is the only type of RAM your machine takes.

I want to know if the Macbook Pro with the ash key board and as the cd rom infront is more recent than the one with the black key board and as the cd rom on the side.
Hi Tracy,
I'm guessing "ash" is the silver colored keyboard, the same color as the rest of the MBP? If so, that machine, with the optical drive slot on the front, is the older machine. -
I want to buy a macbook pro.. but now I have a Packerd Bell with the programs: Word, Powerpoint,... I want those programs on my macbook pro too is this possible? and is it expensive?
Hello:
Expensive is relative...
Microsoft makes a version (written native for the Mac) of Office:

Some of us use iLife - an Apple product that almost seamlessly translates Microsoft programs (for example Word to Pages) back and forth. You can always export in a Microsoft format...

Do all MacBook Pro computers (without retina display) come with a CD/DVD drive?
Up to the Mid-2012 models, yes.

<Edited by Host>May not be an upgrade issue ..
You have a fast processor. and 8GB of RAM is more than sufficient. (The processor cannot be replaced)
Click your Apple menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage
Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space. Less can slow the system down.
If your Mac seems to running slower, try the suggestions here > Mac troubleshooting: What to do when your computer is too slow | Macworld
If you have not done so, especially with school files stored on the hard drive, make sure to back up your important data on a timely basis. Help here > Mac Basics: Time Machine
Not a good idea to post the serial number of your Mac on the net. I have asked the moderators to edit that information for you. It has nothing to do with upgrading. -
I want to make the best macbook pro (w/out retina) possible that'll last for awhile. Any tips?
I'm buying a MacBook for college and I'm wondering what upgrades should I make on it that'll make the laptop fast and efficient. Also, I want the battery to last for awhile. Any tips?
I bought a 17" Late 2011 MBP about 2 years ago (early 2012, about a month or two before the Retina models came out). I upgraded the RAM to 16GB, and I replaced the stock HDD with a Seagate Hybrid "SSHD". It still works very well for me now and even though I don't need the extra performance, I'm considering replacing the hybrid drive with a 1TB SSD (they're around $450-550 for the Samsung or Crucial one s now). My previous system was a Late 2007 MBP that I used for 5 years before I gave it to a friend who still uses it today.

I have a MacBook Pro and I have A LOT of files in there which I don't need anymore. And it's too much to sit and do it one by one so I want to completely reset it to factory settings. I tried booting it from the OS X CD by holding C during startup but it won't work. It just gets stuck on the white or gray screen with the apple logo. Nothing else. I'm assuming that it's because the software version on the Mac is 10.6.8 but the boot disk I'm using is 10.6.3? But I'm not sure.
I also tried booting the CD with holding the option key and choosing the disk, same problem.
Opening Disk Utility while regularly logged in, won't let me delete.
Also tried changing the setting of what to boot in on startup, still gets frozen on the apple logo.
Please what can I do to fix this and delete everything?
Thank you in advance!Clean Install of Snow Leopard
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc. Insert the disc into the
optical drive and restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the
"C" key. Release the key when you see a small spinning gear appear below the
dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, set the format type to Mac
OS Extended (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Partition button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current. -
I want to buy the new MacBook Pro laptop with retina display
I will need 16GB ram, 256 starage should be enough. However, is it worth the extra for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB GDDR5 memory?
It does seem a good buy but I hate buying more than I need. However, I am looking to have this computer for at least 5 years before I'll upgrade again. So it has to last. I don't do much video editing at the moment but I'm sure I will in the future now that Final Cut Pro is only £199 – Wow!. Will this extra graphics card be a benefit for this? I don't play games so that doesn't come into the equation
Also I can't seem to add the card to the other configuration offered on the apple store page. I would be happy with the 15 higher spec retina but with a smaller hard disk but can't select that size disk. Can it be done? -
MacBook Pro 13 with retina 128GB + 16GB vs 250GB + 8GB
Hi first time post here so bare with me.
I am starting a new course in IT. Web Design advanced IT and software is the main topics of the course and will run 2 years and I'd like the laptop to perform and last that long. I will be buying the new iteration of the MacBook Pro 13 with a retina display.
So my questions is this if anyone can help me, with new software and updates coming out all the time what would be best. Either the configuration of 128GB + 16GB with an added 128GB SDXC card to bring the total storage to 256GB which works out cheaper or the 256GB +8GB. My budget can't really go any higher than the cost of these.
Is 16GB overkill even for future proof or is 8GB and the 256GB more than enough and the better combination.
Thanks and all replies appreciated.I tend to agree. The rule of thumb is: Always get as much RAM as you can afford. In this case its even more true, since it cannot be updated after purchase.
Any storage space issues can be easily handled by an external drive.
so go for the 128GB + 16Gb RAM. You can always upgrade SSD drive later, fortunately. -
Does macbook pro 2012 non retina support 16gb?
Does the macbook pro (mid June 2012, non retina) support ram of 16gb?
Will it be capable of it or would it slow the computer down.
Even though the website of apple says that its maximum capacity is 8gb,
what happens if I install 16gb into it?You are welcome. The models have been tested by outside RAM vendors to operate with 16gB. There may have been an update since that eating, but doubtful.
You can check at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade to see if they recommend more RAM. -
Now sure I have Mountian Lion, but bought my Macbook pro and the end of Decemeber 2013 and picked it from Best Buy on January 4, 2013. When I click on my apple my software doesn't say Mountion Lion but OS X 10.8.3. Need advice.
Thanks,
ChristineMountain Lion is OS X 10.8 and all of its associated versions (10.8.1, 10.8.2, etc.).
So the answer is "yes." -
Macbook Pro mid 2012 starting to lag when running more than one program.
Firstly mah specs :
Retina, Mid 2012
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
8gb 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M / Intel HD 4000
OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)
So, i bought this macbook about a year and a month ago and since i bought it everything has run fine, it has always been fast and smooth, until around 2 months ago when it started getting a little laggy in handling more than one program being open. Before this i was able to run Photoshop, Cinema 4D, Second Life and Chrome all at once and recieved no speed decrease what so ever. So i figured that it must just have been a little clogged up maybe, honestly wasnt sure but tried clearing cache, tried freeing up memory with some of the mac memory management tools from the App Store and non of these worked so in the end i backed up what was important and wiped the HD and re installed the OS. Annoyingly i am still having problems, if i have Photoshop open and i am surfing chrome it lags on scrolling web pages or loading links. If i have Second Life open i seem to lag with more than 3 players around me quite badly, even if i put Second Life onto its lowest Graphic Settings i still lag where as before i had this issue i could run it on its highest Graphic Settings and recieve little to no lag what so ever. This happens for most programs that used to run smoothly, if i now open Cinema 4D and try anything else.....the system slows down.
I COULD take this to the apple store and genuis bar and ask them to have a look at it HOWEVER i am back at Uni in 2 weeks and i need the macbook for my studies as i am currently working on a summer project and need it for research, can any of you Mac Wonders out there suggest anything else for me to try. I have checked the HD and it says its not failing and is verified and found no issues with the partition.First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long. -
Just a week ago, I upgraded from the latest upgrade of Snow Leopard to Mavericks 10.9.2, due to the news about security concerns on all Apple computers and IOS devices. I did this upgrade at an Apple store under the guidance of a "genius".
The initial upgrade worked, but as days progressed I bagan noticing long boots of the OS, then long and longer time required to connect to my gmail account. Finally, I'm unable to connect with gmail at all. I tried using Firefox and Safari, but to no avail.
As of today, I've had difficulty in connecting with the Apple support website as well. It took several tries throughout the day to get to this place where I could post my delimma.
Have there been similar issues recently concerning the 10.9.2 so called up-grade? I'm about to connect to my backup drive and re-install Snow Leopard, which worked fine for all general purposes.Your profile still shows 10.6.8.
Try running the combo update.

Want to buy a new macbook pro...do I have to re-buy FCS?
I have a macbook with Final Cut Studio 2 installed and I want to upgrade to a macbook pro. I think I remember reading in my software booklet that my serial numbers are good for one desktop computer and one laptop. Since I have installed FCS on my imac and macbook already...will I have to re-buy it if I get a new macbook pro?
I really think the INTENT is that you can have it on a home computer and a portable computer. But I'm not an Apple lawyer.
I'd go ahead and do it and wait to be caught. If your intent is pure you have a leg to stand on... in my mind.
Same rules will apply -- if you have it running at the same time on the same network it won't work.
Good luck,

I want to buy a new macbook pro 2012 with retina display, can i sell my old macbook and add some more money to buy the new one???
Is there any deal like this?Apple has a rebuy and recycle program, but you won't get much for your old MBP from that program. Your best bet is to just sell it yourself (I used eBay) and use the money you get to buy your new computer.
Good luck,
