You need to purchase 8 GBs as two 4 GB modules. Must meet these requirments:
Maximum Memory
8.0 GB
Memory Slots

OSX Mountain Line made slow MacBook Pro i7, 4GB RAM

I installed OSX Mountain Line and now my MacBook Pro takes time to switch ON or Off. May I know how can I increase its performance while shutting down and booting it.
My MacBook Pro is i7, 4GB RAM & 750GB HDD

This is what Apple has to say.

Will the macbook pro 13" 4GB ram be enough to run LPX ?

Hi there,
As you probably now know, Logic Pro X is finally out and it's time for me to update my old LP9 to this new soft.
I'm going to buy a new mac and here is my problem : LPX needs at least 4GB RAM to run, I was wondering if my 2011 IMAC 21.5" would run it and in particular the macbook pro 13" (no retina screen) would too - cause I need a laptop and don't wanna leave my Imac.
I'm not such a sound ingenieer but I don't wanna spend more than $1400 if I can't run LPX.
Please give me advices
Thanks
Mike

If it runs LP9 ok, and you have a core2duo processsor upwards (or in otherwords a 64 bit processor) that can run mountain lion, then yes, will run as well as LP9 in my experience on older machines.

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.

I have a MacBook Air late 2010 with 4gb RAM and 128gb SSD, is it possible to upgrade that hard drive through a genius appointment?

As above, cheers

RAM cannot be upgraded - there are no RAM sockets - the chips are soldered to the logic board. The SSD can be upgraded through third party upgrades (see OWC) but Apple won't perform this upgrade. You'll either have to install it yourself (an easy upgrade though it could void your warranty) or have it installed by an independent Apple service provider.

Which version macbook pro is this? and how much ram?

Hi Everybody!
I just bought this 2.4ghz core 2 duo macbook pro 2nd hand:-)
It's probably the mid 2007 version. It's annonced with a max RAM upgrade of 3 gb, but it's to cheap to buy 4gb (2x2)!!
How does it work? Does OSX used the last gig of ram from 3-4gb? or it is just a waste of money?
I use my macbook pro for normal use, and production in logic pro.
Thanks!
Kasper

Yes, it's the Santa Rosa chipset. And yes, you have an LED backlit display and the faster frontside bus (that will read 800 MHz in System Profiler).
The MBP chipsets are:
• Core Duo - clock speeds of 1.83, 2.0 or 2.16 GHz
• Core 2 Duo - clock speeds of 2.16 or 2.33 GHz (2.0 GHz C2D chips are only in MBs, not MBPs)
• Core 2 Duo "Santa Rosa" - clock speeds of 2.2, 2.4 or 2.6 GHz, with a 4 MB L2 cache
• Core 2 Duo "Penryn" - clock speeds of 2.4, 2.5 or 2.6 GHz, with 3 or 6 MB L2 cache
+Feel free to tune out for this part, the info you need is above.+
I'm using the terms "Santa Rosa" and "Penryn" as they are commonly used on these boards. "Santa Rosa" actually refers to a combination of the Merom-refresh CPU chip with other chips for graphics/wireless (i.e. it's a platform, not a chip, and thus was technically never in an MBP because only the Merom-refresh chip was used, not the whole platform - but the original C2Ds were Merom-based, and "Santa Rosa" sounds better than "Merom-refresh", I suppose). Merom chips (like the Yonah Core Duo chip) were made with the 65 nm process, whereas Penryn is the successor to Merom and is made with the newer 45 nm process.

Freezing Macbook Pro. Graphical glitches and occasional 3 tones on start up. Hardware test shows no errors. Is it RAM or a graphics card on the way out, or software?

Recently my MacBook Pro has been freezing and showing bad graphical glitches. Multiple restarts eventually fix it and a couple of times the three tones break, three tones break warning has occurred on start up. From what I can find this is usually a RAM error but after doing a hardware check I get the response all is OK. This still happens after the check and I am unsure what the problem could be. Can anyone help? Could it be a memory issue, a hard drive issue, Graphics card issue (drivers are up to date) or is something up with the software. I also have a Bootcamp partition running Windows 7 too and this is a problem that presents itself there too.

Most likely to be RAM:
Beeps on startup:
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images.
5 beeps = processor is not usable

I would suggest you take it to an Apple Store for a free diagnostic.

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..

4GB is approx 4,194,304 K

What is the difference in price of MacBook Pro 13-inch: 2.9GHz750GB and 256GB solid-state drive ?

go to the Store and configure all the models with upgrades but... an SSD will be fast and responsive, no noise or heat and adds $200 probably to the cost

Hi, I have bought macbook pro a year back and it has 4 GB RAM and its mid 2012 model can u tell me whether if i give the macbook for upgradation of memory will they do it and what would be the cost.

You need to take your MacBook Pro to your Apple store genius bar and check that they will do the upgrade for you...price for 4 GB memory used to be $200 but you will have to check with them for the current cost.
You can also check with OWC, http://www.macsales.com and see what their cost is and decide if you want to do it yourself. Cost will be about half of that at the Apple store.

What is the max memory allowed on a macbook pro 15" (late 2011), and what speed is the max speed allowed?

Hello,
I own a Macbook Pro 15" (late 2011) and I would like to upgrade the memory. I want to go with two 8gb sticks but if the motherboard only supports 8gb then I will have to stick with 8gb. Also, the ram that I have in currently, which is the 4gb that came with the mac, is 1333 Mz. Would I be able to upgrade to 1600 Mz on this laptop?

Max is 16 GBs. Do not attempt to use memory with specs that differ from those required by your hardware.
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

MacBook Pro. 4GB to 8GB Upgrade.

MacBook Pro. 4GB to 8GB.
Introduction
"Cost-Benefit Analysis"
Features
Boot Time: Is it affected by the upgrade?
Applications
Conclusion
1. Introduction
Greetings, today I am going to discuss the positive and negatives aspects about the
upgrade that many are tempted to perform, before during and after the purchase of an Apple
Personal Computer i.e. MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac and so on.
I am going to use my first and recently bought MacBook Pro as a "guinea pig" today
by performing and reviewing the upgrade from 4GB of Random-Access Memory (RAM) to 8GB.
I hope you all enjoy it and that this review is useful to you as a guide to aid your decision
to upgrade or not.
Well let's get started shall we?
2. "Cost-Benefit Analysis"
We all know how expensive Apple Computers are for the vast majority of the population,
however I am sure if you are here you do appreciate, like me, the reasons why such cost,
but this is another discussion. Let me focus.
The first option we have right off the bat is to do the upgrade as we purchase the machine,
which is offered to you when you order online, through the phone or buy it directly from an
Apple Store.
I did consider upgrading directly with Apple for the obvious reasons but unfortunately
I wasn't able to this time, the £160.00* upgrade price was a little too high for me, not overpriced,
just a little too high for me. (* or $200.00 USD)
So here is what I have done: I have acquired the part from a third part company which
offered the so called upgrade for £59.99. So I decided to give it a go, before you ask my
warranty will not be voided as RAM and any user replacable parts DO NOT void your
equipment warranty as stated by Apple®.
As you can see the specifications of the product match perfectly what is already inside
a MacBook Pro. But obviously still won't be as good as the 8GB from Apple.
Now to the benefits. rest assured that this upgrade will not be noticed by all of you, and
what I mean by that is: If you only use your Mac for browsing the web or office suites, you do
not need this upgrade, however if you do heavy video or image processing or anything that
requires that little bit extra, you will notice the difference in performance baring in mind that
this model of MacBook Pro has no dedicated graphics card therefore upgrading is a fantastic
way to avoid "paging" and I think for 60 bucks that is a bargain.
3. Features
RAM is constantly used by the system, obviously, serving as temporary storage and
working space for the operating system and its applications.
You may or may not know that most computers use something called "virtual memory"
is a method that consists of a portion of the system's hard drive being set aside for use as
a paging file that extends ram capacity. I.e. 4GB of RAM + 1GB of Paging file gives a system
a total of 5GB of memory available. Obviously upgrading from 4GB to 8GB will enable you to
have more memory without "sacrificing" a part of your hard drive.
RAM is used in numerous others ways on a computer.
3.1 Boot Time: Is it affected by the upgrade?
| To be updated soon. |
3.2 Applications
     | To be updated soon. |
4.0 Conclusion
| To be updated soon. |

3.1 Boot Time: Is it affected by the upgrade?
I did not notice any differences, maybe some miliseconds more or less.
3.2 Applications
        Applications it's a hard one to speak about, it seems to me that the system is coping more easily with tasks that require that little extra. Video and Photo editing and so on.
4.0 Conclusion
         Is it worth it? The truth is for some people yes, for some definitely NOT. If you are looking for that little extra performance just to feel good about it, definitely do it! However if all you do is browse the web and the odd word processing and a few presentations a month, it may not be that beneficial for you. I believe that if you truly want some serious performance, look for the power processing first i.e. Get a 15'' or a 17''; even though they are a bit more expensive they are recommended for video editing and tasks that require high speed and performance.
          In terms of where to buy it from, I found that buying from the third party company Crucial was no different than what would have been from Apple itself, it is EXACTLY the same memory, I compared them both side a side and all the specifications and manufacturers where the same on the 4GB and the 2GB unit.
          Few things though guys:
Please be sure to use a good quality Phillips #00 Screwdriver, you DO NOT want to damage those screws and you want to have ease on opening the machine.
Please only install quality RAM.
Please discharge yourself of any static by wearing a Static Bracelet or touching a metal surface inside the computer.
Please be sure to turn OFF the computer "Shut Down", I repeat do NOT put it to sleep, SHUT IT DOWN.
Please be patient; do not rush things.
          That's it for my adventure Upgrading my MacBook Pro RAM, guys I hope you enjoyed, sorry about the delay and enjoy your 8GB MacBook Pro, I certainly will.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me.
Walter.

Hmm. The problem still may be the RAM - Apple buys the RAM it puts in its machines from third-party vendors (usually Hynix) so it could be a RAM problem.
There are a couple of things that you can do yourself before taking your machine into an Apple Store or an AASP... download and run an application named Rember that will run a RAM test for you - let it run for a couple of hours or even overnight. If it turns out that your RAM is faulty, Rember will let you know. If it is faulty, then you have a couple of options - replace the RAM yourself or (particularly if you're under warranty still) take the machine to an Apple Store or AASP and have them replace the RAM.
If Rember finds no fault with the RAM, then you'll need to take it into an Apple Store/AASP and get a free diagnosis on the machine. Three beeps do usually indicate faulty RAM, but if it tests good with Rember you likely have another problem - it could be something as simple as the RAM, somehow, not seated correctly or signs of another hardware problem.
Run Rember first... call back with results.
Good luck,
Clinton

Macbook Pro Keeps Restarting Itself and then totally crashed

Dear all.
I am using Macbook Pro 13-inch (i7 2.9 Ghz, 8 GB DDR3, 750 GB) with OS X Maverick (10.9.4).
For the last few months, my Macbook Pro kept restarting itself and I usually ignored this issue until yesterday, my MBP fail to boot up, only display the grey apple logo and rolling icon below for almost 30 mins.
I tried the safe mode and reset NVRAM method and it still fail to boot up and sometimes a black text appears (aka kernel panic).
Then i took my macbook pro to the nearest Apple service provider and the technician said that it was probably due to the 750 GB Hard Disk since the HD itself is a faulty product, therefore we can't find any 750 GB HD nowadays. So he recommended me to replace my current HD with a new HD. I took his advice and I replaced it with 1 TB Toshiba HD. And then the technician reformat my MBP and installed the OS X Maverick. My Macbook pro able to boot up now.
However the next day I still find my MBP keeps restarting itself (until now) and take note that I didn't install any new softwares, I only updated the available updates in Apps Store for the OS, iBooks, and iTunes.
Can anyone recommend me what to do? Is this a Hardware problem or software problem?
I'm thinking to switch back to OS Lion to see whether this is mainly due to OS Maverick.
Thank you.

Unfortunately yes. Since the computer is unable to boot up, that part of the software starts BEFORE the OS would. Last time I had this problem, it turned out to be a faulty GPU (soldered to the logic board) and i needed to replace the logic board. If you wanted to, you could indeed back up your personal data (you should ANYWAY, no matter what you do) and you could try to do a fresh install, but I'm fairly confident you are experiencing either faulty ram, or a faulty logic board.
