Is this RAM good?

I have the 2012 13" macbook pro. I think I am going to upgrade the ram before the ssd and wait a few months before the ssd. Is this ram good?http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-12800-204-Pin-Notebook-CT2CP51264BF160B/dp/B00 5LDLVAO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1375663592&sr=8-2&keywords=macbook+pro+ram

No......, mid 2012 and on Macbook Pro uses 1.35 volt memory from factory AND recommended replacement.
older macpros are using 1.5volt yes, but yours is not.
** Some people can/could incorrectly tell you "1.5volt memory is still ok for your newer Pro".....they are wrong
Many people have installed 1.5V mem on newer Pros,.....and they work for a while........ many have encountered issues doing that however. Dont do it, install 1.35Volt mem in your newer Pro.

Is this RAM good for my Mac Mini?

Mini is the 2.3 GHz i5 (mid 2011). I've currently got the 2 gb RAM that came with it. Will upgrading to 8 gb make it a heck of a lot faster or not a huge difference? Also, will upgrading to 4 gb or 8 gb be better, or is there like a cap where once you go above the amount of RAM it doesn't really affect the Mac.
Here is the one I'm thinking of buying
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0374837
Will that work on my mini?
Thanks.

With a mid-2011 mini, assume you have Lion installed. Many have reported that 2GB, which is the Lion minimum, is enough to turn the lights on but not enough to get any real performance out of Lion. 4GB seems to be the practical amount of memory to have a reasonably capable Lion system. Beyond that, it depends, as noted above, on what you run. So, 2GB to 4GB in a Lion system you may see some real performance improvements. 4GB to 8GB and any benefit will depend on what and how much you run.
I like Crucial memory, as I've used it for years in a number of systems with no issues. 8GB for your mini is $46. They are at http://www.crucial.com . They have free shipping in the US, and you can usually find a 5% off coupon on retailmenot.com. Another source is OWC at http://www.macsales.com. They sell Samsung as well as their own branded memory, and have a good reputation. I've bought Samsung memory from them, again with no issues.

Please make this a good experiance for my first post on any board. READ ME

Hi all. Well first off, let me start by saying that my whole life I've owned PC's. And I'm not hacker Elliet. But I've gotten to know them pretty well. All the way from Windows 3.1 that came out a long time ago (more than 10 years ago)
So after a while of hearing about MAC's I decided to start small and get an iPod (since they are so popular here in NYC) and see what apple was about. Well I really saw that Apple had a great product and started asking about their computers. And did plenty of research. And before the new Intel Macs came out, I was going to get a powerbook. But I had a feeling a new laptop was coming out and waited a lil while and sure enough. The Macbook Pro came out. So I went out and did all my research (as to this being the first real purchase of a Apple product and knew about the possible implications of a new first gen Intel chip in a apple product litterally making history) I knew I might become a new beta tester.
So I started looking on these boards and did 2 weeks worth of hard research to see if the Mac Book Pro (MBP) was for me. And after all the problems i saw (ex: The whine, Right speaker distortion, heat coming from it, white line at bottom of screen, etc) I never saw or read anything about AOL connectivity problems. And I know, I know... alot of you are probably going to gripe and complain about AOL sucking and yada yada yada, but please. Cut me some slack. I actually like AOL. I got on it back in 92 when it came out, and really enjoyed it. And have been on it since. I like chatting on there, and so forth. And I hope you help with my problem instead of telling me to go get "a real ISP" I do have a real ISP, but I like my AOL too.
So now to my problem....
I have a Sony Viao 1.8ghz PC with 512 ram, 80 gig hard drive, 10/100 ethernet port. Connected to a Belkin Router (more info below on specs of router) connected to Opt Online Broadband Cable internet with VoIP. I use my macbook pro on the wireless network at my home.
I got a mac book pro 1.83 ghz running 512 ram on Tiger OSX 10.4.6 I thought that I would wait till a connectivity patch (which I thought would have been 10.4.6) fix the airport problems came out till I posted something. But now that I've tried everything, I'm hoping you open this thread and help me and possibly someone else out there as well. I just d/l'd and installed the 10.4.6 update last night and it did'nt help. So here's more info on my specs. I have a belkin router wireless G 2.4 ghz 54mbs router and I have configured the router with it's firewall, wap2 encryption (as it's the only selection the router has that is available that matches what airport comes with in encryption) I hid my network, and have tried to upgrade the firmware on the router.
Now Here's the real problem. I can connect to AOL on my MBP when I connect the actual ethernet cable to the MBP's Ethernet port (after I have let the cable modem do a hard reset to configure itself to a mac) I can connect to AOL. But when I disconnect the cable and return it to it's normal config, I can't connect to AOL. I can connect to the internet via safari, and firefox, and even AOL's IM on iChat. I can use Itunes all kinds of things. I can even play warcraft 3 wirelessly on battlenet. But connecting to AOL is a pain in the @$$. It's the only proggy I have that won't allow it to connect. I keep getting the error message "Your AOL connection ended because the AOL host was unable to start a new session. Please try to sign on again." Of course All i see for a while is the spinning black and white circle. And it goes through step 1 and 2, goes straight to 6. Then it goes blank, and BAM! That message pops up. And what's so frustrating is that I've tried every possible configuration on AOL, my router and even system preferences, for it to let connect. I even went into system preferences on the mac and went down the the Internet & Network "Sharing" icon and tried 100 possible combinations on that in the services tab, and firewall tab. I've turned them on, off, tried to make exceptions ETC. And no matter how much I play with the personal file sharing and windows sharing advanced settings and sigh every possible combination to make AOL connect via wirelessly. And nothing. I then even tried to fix the connection under AOL in setup. I've gone through and selected TCP Script, Airport Script. Cable Script, And practically every script I can think of. And nothing. I even went on to AOL and downloaded thier alleged fix to wireless accessing AOL. And nothing. I've been searching all over google, AOL's website, and all over these discussion boards and no mention of anyone even having the same problem. But please, someone out there with their infinit knowledge of how Macs run and having more experience than me, Please make this a good experiance for my first post on any board anywhere reguarding a mac. A MBP at that too.
An update to this, But amazingly enough, I actually got it to connect to AOL wirelessly for the first time yest. But I have no Idea how i did it. I tried for 3 hours to reproduce it and no luck. I was accessing my router at it's website config screen and somehow I clicked on connect to AOL and while it was trying to connect to it, i reset the router and BAM, it connected to AOL. And I was in shock. I thought I solved it. Somewhere while it was reseting the router it connected and stayed connected to AOL till I signed off and tried to sign back on to see if I could now connect, and guess what. The same dumb message keeps popping up "Your AOL connection ended because the AOL host was unable to start a new session. Please try to sign on again." And all I did was sign off to test it, thinking I had fixed the problem. I tried for 3 hours like I stated above, and BAM got it connected to AOL wirelessly again (somehow while the router was resetting). And thinking I fixed it, or figured out the trick to getting it to work, signed off... I kissed aol goodbye again. And have been unable to reproduce the "glitch". SIGH Can someone out there please help me?
I think I've made this message as detailed as possible, but please, can someone give me some constructive criticism on how to fix my AOL wireless connectivity problems. Do you know if it's my router? My MBP? AOL software? BTW, I got AOL software version 10.3.7 (Rev 4136.310 US) The latest version I D/L'ed from the AOL website. Anyone know If I should turn on or off some things such as personal fire sharing on, or firewall off or on? ANYTHING. Please. I've put alot of time into writing this post and making it as detailed as possible. And been having this problem for the past 3 weeks that I've had my MBP, and have waited long enough to use my AOL. If you need any further information or suggestions on making AOL work, please let me know. Thank you for taking the time to read all of this, and I really appreciate all of you in the time you take in responding back in trying to help me. I'll be monitoring this post almost hourly. So I hope someone out there can help. Thanks so much again. And help me make this transition to Mac a pleasant one knowing that there is a mac community out there willing to help a new mac client. Again, Many thanks
In Heath and Wealth,

I FIXED IT!
FYI for the rest of you that might be having the same problem. DON'T USE A BELKIN ROUTER WITH AOL ON A MBP!!!!! It ***** wirelessly. or even hard connected, it won't connect. I went to best buy today, and got a refund on the belkin. I then went to J&R and got a D-Link router. And now it works perfect. I can now chat on AOL yet again, and I tried all the other web browsers I have and messengers, and warcraft 3 online via battlenet. And it works great. I want to give you guys a special thanks for taking time out to answer back to my post. FYI! Belkin wireless G routers do not connect you to AOL wirelessly on MBP's. No matter how much you mess around on them. I highly recommend a D-Link Router. They are easy to set up as long as you READ ( AND I MEAN IT!!!) read the instructions before you set anything up on it. Use the CD that it comes with, and you'll be good to go. Set it up and it works great Almost no dead zones in the house, and now I can use the MBP with all it's cababilities. Thanks people. I really appreciate it.
P.S. I called belkin last night when i decided to get a refund on my router for today and when i talked to the tech, after puersuading him to tell me the truth. And stop BS'ing me, he broke down and admited that AOL does not work wirelessly on MBP's. So to make a long story short this time, There you go. And one last note, I'm very happy now with my d-link router. I honestly thought it would suck. Not being a brand name router or anything. But amazingly, it works like a brand name item! Again, many thanks all.

Thanks for your help!

Amazon has the FBDIMMs and at excellent price. Can't say the same for OWC on price or quality really when it comes to those FBDIMMs. OWC 'sometimes' has had a lot of trouble - or people on here with having to go through multiple exchanges with new sets back in 2009-10 plus charge much higher.
They want 3x what I paid for 16GB and they are not even as good let alone better even in support and warranty.
"Came with software" you don't own is what that usually means, not the license and master copy etc.
I keep my 1,1 running and yes dumped a lot $$ into it over the years, probably longer than warranted (did a lot of upgrades in 2013: ATI 5770, Sonnet Tempo, 16GB FBDIMMs) and I keep upgrading and replacing SSDs went from 128GB to 250GB to 500GB and moving some to the Sonnet Tempo SSD.
It does not qualify as 64-bit firmware (EFI32 vs UEFI EFI64) and has lesser PCIe 1.0 and only 1 - 16x, 1 - 8x, 1 - 4x, and 1 - 1x slots. So graphic card in 8x or 16x and your most demanding card. Only the lower slot is double-wide for most any graphic card.
Lion stopped getting security updates last month too, and some software more and more requires 10.8 or above. There are ways to force those to run on 2006, might be fun if you have the mind set of a programmer or like to fiddle with operating systems.
I already pointed to Amazon and brand and mentioned those keep to 59*C and have them in mine for nearly two years.
I think even with the cost of Windows 8.1 license I assembled (already had case and PSU and SSD/HDD) an i7-4771 PC for $800, vs. the cost of upgrades I did in 2013 alone on my Mac Pro which though has stood me well for 8 years. People that already own one feel fine upgrading, and some have replaced processors for 8-core 5355s when that made sense and could use it now that you can find ebay pair for $100 or even less. But Sonnet Tempo Pro etc today? I just wish there was a desktop - 4-core (not dual core), not soldered memory. A step above the Mac-Mini. And a Mac-Mini fully configured costs way too much for my tastes.

HT4621 can the imac 27" mid 2011 take this ram "Corsair 8GB DDR31600MHz" ? will the imac under clock it to the 1333mhz ?

can the imac 27" mid 2011 take this ram "Corsair 8GB DDR31600MHz" ? will the imac under clock it to the 1333mhz ?

As the others have said, this is a really chancey thing to do...there have been several users on here during the past few weeks with questions about using out-of-spec ram...most had trouble with it. Macs will sometimes accept higher spec memory, sometimes they will not. Corsair has been getting some very good comments lately but that is from those using in-spec memory.
Best solution is the correct memory. And as noonday recommended, Crucial and OWC are very good and stock the correct ram.

15" Macbook Pro i7 4GB Ram good for gaming?

Hi, I'd like to know if the 15" MBP i7 4GB Ram good for gaming? I'm not gonna be an intense gamer I would just like to play games during my down time. All I will be playing is like 1 MMORPG and maybe 1 or 2 FPS games. I will not be doing this all at once. I will be using bootcamp. I have some friends tell me that they wouldn't play games on the MBP because it could ruin it? Is this true? They tell me that it's not wise to play games on this laptop.

It would depend on the games and how demanding they are, but generally laptops make for horrible gaming platforms in general. Apple laptops in particular tend to be among the thinnest of the bunch. A MBP can be thinner than plenty of netbooks out there while packing considerably more punch. That doesn't leave a lot of room for any excess heat that may be generated while gaming.
If we're talking older games, that probably aren't all that demanding, then maybe. If we're talking newer games that are pushing the limits of the laptop's specs, I'd recommend against it.

What about this Ram?

I want to upgrade my mbp 2011 ram to 8GB.
Is this a good quality ram ?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Technology-Apple-8GB-Kit/dp/B001PS9UKW/ref=sr_1 _1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312031082&sr=8-1
Do i void apple's guarantee by changing it by my self?
Is there any better ones for that price or the same quality for a lower price?
Any help appriciated.

Alexandros
I've read that people like Crucial and OWC. Another good chice is Kingston is another good choice. I personally bought the Corsair because of the price. Remember different people have different experiences with the various manufacturers of RAM. So opinions differ. Many had mixed reviews about the Corsair. But for me and for my new 2011 MBP it has been great. Just remember you need the 1333Mhz DDR3. What I learned was Apple puts Samsung RAM in the 2011 MBP. That's what was in mine when I replaced. The final choice is yours to make. Hope this helps. One other thing whatever RAM you choose don't forget to do the memtest once you install it. The easiest way to do this is to download Rember it is a GUI front end for memtest. It is free to use. A final note, be extremely careful how you unpackage the RAM you buy, and be sure to seat it firmly when you replace it. You can do it yourself it is not difficult at all. Takes about 10-15 minutes. You'll need a #00 phillips head screw driver to remove the screws on the bottom of your MBP. Remember too by adding more RAM it will increase slightly the operating temperature of your MBP, but not significantly.

Can my MacBook Pro run this ram?

I am looking to upgrade from the original RAM that came with my MacBook Pro when I purchased it last year, it has 8GB, and I want to upgrade it to 16GB as I am always using absolutely all of it, well about 7.8GB of it. I have the early 2011 17" MacBook Pro with the i7 CPU.
Now I have been looking to purchase this RAM because it is 1600Mhz instead of 1333Mhz that I currently have. From what I have read it will run at 1600Mhz without a problem. But I'm just double checking to make sure this would be good RAM to upgrade to, I am looking for as high quality RAM as I can get.

What are your thoughts and suggestions for RAM?

For what it's worth I have a LATE 2011 17" mbp and it's essential to use 1600 ram! And, it works beautifully.
Here's a post I posted elsewhere ...
Hey guys,
Hopefully this will help. With a late 2011 17".
THERE IS NO PROBLEM, AT ALL, RUNNING 1600 SPEED RAM.
(1) I have a very late 17" macbook Pro. (It is actually the somewhat rare 2.5 quad model.) One of the very last ones made.
(2) It comes with 1333 ram
(3) I swapped in 1600 ram
(4) IT IS ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN, THAT, THE MACHINE RUNS MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH FASTER when you have 1600 speed ram.
(Indeed, it runs 1600 / 1333 = 1.20x faster on all memory operations - it's just that simple and obvious. It's strange that some are suggesting there will be "no difference" etc. The difference is VERY SUBSTANTIAL -- like 20%)
I did A NUMBER OF TESTS back-and-fore swapping the slow and fast ram.
and it is very, very obvious, the speed difference.
Most operations on computers are just memory bound - everything from startup to rendering and the like is quicker - obviously and clearly quicker - with faster ram.
(5) I have had utterly no problems running the faster ram. It reports and runs the ram utterly normally, no problem.
(6) These machines cost thousands, and ram cost a few dollars - there seems very little reason you wouldn't do this.
(7) I do have one of the very last 17" mbp. (It was "old new stock" - I bought it unused in March 2013.) So, it's possible that OLDER 17" mbp will not run 1600 speed RAM. But, I mean it costs like $100 to try, on a fantastic machine worth $1000s, so it's a huge win at low cost if it works.
I hope this helps future readers!!!!
Cheers

Has anyone used this RAM in there Mac??

Greetings
have just found some RAM that is Mac compatible
Corsair 1Gb DDR2-667 SoDimm for Apple Mac
and am wondering if anyone is/has used it?? Being Corsair I understand this ram to be of very very good quality but have only ever been using Kingston RAM as recommended from Renaissance (New Zealand Supplier for Apple).
Your thoughts and answer will be much appreciated
Thanks

Yes I added the same 1GB Corsair back in May 2006 to the stock 512MB. Replace the 512MB with the 1GB then put the 512MB in the other slot. Slide them in untill you feel then stop, then give them a hard shove to seat them into there slots. After you have seated both modules close the ejector clips and replace the cover.

That extra 1GB will make a big difference, you'll love it.

Price looks good but I am concerned the heat sinks are not good enough and will cause issues with the RAM and temps within the Mac Pro.
William

I picked up 2GB (1GB sticks) from datamem.com for
$378. I will have it monday, and will reply on how
they look and perform.
Kimo
Cool! Let us know how it works, stress your Mac Pro and make sure you get NO errors! Seems memory for these Macs needs proper/sufficent cooling heat sinks to prevent over heating and causing memory erros and freezing.
Check this out:
Mac Pro owner notes on using standard FB-Dimms (with added heatsinks) - A reader with a Mac Pro that actually received his earlier Crucial memory order (they were removed from the compatibility list 2 days ago) sent a note that although he had an RMA to return them, he decided to try them after adding some additional (stick-on) VRAM heatsinks. He said after an hour of use he didn't notice any problems (or louder fans) but I asked him to test for several hours and he later wrote Apple System Profiler showed one of the Crucial dimms had 2 ECC ('soft') error corrections:
" DIMM Riser B/DIMM 1:
Size: 1 GB
Type: DDR2 FB-DIMM
Speed: 667 MHz
Status: ECC Errors
ECC Correctable Errors: 2 "
There wasn't an alert on this, he was just monitoring it in ASP while running tests. He later said during stress tests he had another error/correction appear and the system froze once while repeatedly toggling expose. He said he's ordered some other heatsinks to try and is also moving those dimms from the bottom riser card to the top riser (swapping positions with the OEM dimms) to try and reduce heat. I wasn't sure if this was heat related or if that one dimm was suspect, but he later wrote:
" I have begun to wonder about the mac pro design. Why put the memory behind the hot cpu? Should be in front getting cold air blown on it....
Anyhow I repositioned the dimms so the crucial memory is on top and the apple memory on the bottom in hopes of reproducing the ecc error correction. No errors yet and I have been running stuff for a while. I am thinking the top is less hot as the heat flows out the top better. I still think the heatsinks tomorrow will fix for sure but we shall see. No problems so far. This might fix it.
(he later wrote)
Well I ran the mac pro with almost 100% processor utilization and used all the ram the whole time for about 9 hrs straight and no errors. I think moving it to the top slot fixed the heat issue.
(I asked Dave to confirm he has no complaints on fan speed/noise. I hear the Mac Pros are typically very quiet-Mike.)
... No fan speedup at all, ever infact. The dimms work great. It was just errors on that one dimm, but since I moved them nothing. I might have seated it wrong or something because the problem is gone.
-Dave "
I had originally suggested he return the dimms and wait for the 'revised' ones (mentioned in yesterday's Crucial's comments why Mac Pro ram listings were pulled & future plans), but he said he was told they were not going to support the Mac Pro. (I suspect the person he talked to just wasn't aware of their plans on this - but wrote my Micron contact again last night who confirmed the comments on future plans were still valid although the revised heatsink models will likely have higher prices.)
Update: Dave sent a photo of the modified dimm installed in an upper riser board.
If anyone else tries 3rd party FB-Dimms in their Mac Pro (either standard flat heatsink types or larger heatsink types like OWC's Mac Pro memory), let me know your experience.
(BTW - Most all readers with Mac Pros are only using the OEM RAM, but a 3GHz Mac Pro owner wrote he's going to test tonight with some 512MB Kingston (standard heatsink) FB-Dimms and report back. I've had several ram dealers write they've had no problems reported with standard FB-Dimms, although until Dave mentioned monitoring ASP for error corrections, nobody tested while checking that. I assumed from Apple's comments only potentially higher fan speeds would result from using the standard heatsinks, but nobody seems to have noticed any difference in fan speeds regardless so far. I wish Apple would have just used standard dimms...)

Is this RAM compatible with my Mac mini?

I'm looking into getting this RAM:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231069
and I was wondering if it would work with my Mac mini. It is teh basic Intel mini w/ teh 1.5GHz processor. I plan on getting 2 of these to fill up teh availible memory capacity.

Yes, the new Intel Mac Mini's use the same memory as the MacBook's. I installed the same SODIMM's I had in my MacBook into my new Mini and it worked just fine.
Looks like a fairly good price too.
Greg

Looking for my first Mac! I have my eye on a 2006 MacBook... $259.. Is this a good buy? I just want to be able to write essays and check social media and email.

help!!! My tech savvy on a scale of 1-10 is a straight up 1. And a half.. Anyways.. Is this a good buy? It's on amazon.. Do you think that's a trustworthy place to. It from?

That's good to know... has not being able to update really hindered you? I understand that a lot of Mac users want Apple because they do a bunch of editing and graphic designing... I am not at all into that. I am a Physical Education major (aka: a lot of essays!!), and I write as a hobby. So that is all I want this computer for. What do you think??

My name is Mike. I live in New Zealand. My username is waipukurau1. I downloaded MacBook booster from the prompts. Was this a good idea and good for my MacBook Pro? Please answer.

My name is Mike. I live in New Zealand. My username is waipukurau1. I downloaded MacBook booster. I write to ask was this a good idea? Was this good and correct for my MacBook Pro. Please answer.

ashish35,
No one from Apple here - we're just users like you. All I can tell you is that electronic fail and with MacBook Pros (and most notebooks) the components are so integrated as to make a repair to the logic board practically impossible, hence the high prices charged for repairs.
Only you can decide if you want to have your computer repaired or put the money towards the purchase of a new computer. If you do decide to purchase a new unit I would suggest that you also purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan which increases your warranty from one year to three years.
Sorry and good luck,
Clinton

Is this RAM compatible with the TS130?

I found this RAM by doing a search with the stats of the RAM that comes with the TS130 and it's much cheaper, but I'm not sure if it will work. I noticed that this memory is simply DIMM instead of uDIMM, so I want to be sure before I buy it. Thanks!

RAM you get must be designated for your age and type of model in question. Getting a specific timing such as
"....PC3 8500; the Amazon RAM is PC2 5300" is insufficient to guarantee compatibility. First identify exactly what model you have according to Apple, then buy RAM from a vendor that says the RAM is for the age of model in question. Here are tools to find your model and model age:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6413
And three vendors that sell by the age/model:
http://www.datamem.com/ http://www.crucial.com/ http://www.macsales.com/
There may be others. Do not buy valueRAM or any RAM without a lifetime warranty.

Will this ram work?

hi there, am soon hoping to purchase a new intel-imac i jsut want to be certain whether this ram will work in it:
http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=3VTJ&SearchType=1&SearchTerms=PC2 5300&PageMode=3&SearchKey=All&SearchMode=All&NavigationKey=0&v=2#infoarea

That RAM won't fit into an Intel iMac.
You need laptop sized RAM also called SO-DIMM, 200 pin.

Is this RAM good?
