Macbook Pro 17"  2.66(Early 2009 model) 8gb ram upgrade

Hi,
I want to upgrade my early 2009 unibody macbook peo 17" 2.66 to 8gb ram.The problem is in my country they sell hi-level and team brands (2x4gb).The specs of this brands are almost same with apple compatible rams except pin number.I searched on the net and i saw that my machine has 204 pin ram,hi-level and team have 200 pin.My question is this deifference between the pin number may be a problem?
Thanks.

I asked them but the answer was not satisfying.In Turkey peoaple like me(apple addicts) have major problems when we want to buy an apple product or apple related products.The reason is there is no Apple Turkey still.So we dont have the option to find the products which people can buy easily and much cheaper in Europe and Usa.
My nearest Apple Reseller told me that they can import the rams but the price will be nearly twice...For example in Istanbul we pay 2000$ for a 999$ macbook in USA.it is not fair but this is the situation.Our hope(Apple fans in Turkey) is to see Apple Turkey in the future.
Thanks

  • Windows 7 driver for Macbook Pro 15" 2.66GHz (early 2009)

    Hi All,
    Recently acquired a Macbook Pro 15.4" (A1286 - MC026LL/A), installed windows 7 in it, but I don't have the original DVD that came with the MBP anymore, so how could I find the drivers for the Windows 7? Tried to download it using Boot Camp but it says couldn't find drivers for this Macbook Pro. Sorry if this question has been asked before. Thanks.

  • This is the regular status of the memory of my macbook pro. Do you think I need a RAM upgrade?

    Hi there,
    I'm hoping to seek the expert views of the community here.
    I have a MacBook Pro, Late 2011, 17 inch. Running latest version of Mavericks. Speed seems to have slowed somewhat, perhaps since I upgraded to Mavericks, but not certain about that. Based on my research of the Apple communities, I suspect that I may benefit from a RAM upgrade.
    Attached are a few screen shots to assist:
    Based on what I have researched in the community, the fact that I have used 3.99GB of 4.00GB, and have used 5.63GB of Virtual memory, seems to suggest to me that I have well and truly maxed out my RAM. Also there is a high number of read ins/outs (but it had been a wheile since I last did a restart on the MBP (if that has any effect on these numbers here).
    I have also read that my model of MacBook Pro is upgradeable to 16GB of RAM (2 x 8GB).
    Thoughts and views from the community would be greatly appreciated. Will additional RAM help the speed and performance of my MacBook Pro?
    Many thanks.

    More RAM is always a Prudent move...

  • Macbook Later 2009 -Crucial 8GB RAM upgrade

    Hello guys I took some recommendations from the support here at apple and i went out and purchased 8 gb of crucial ram 1066 for my late 2009 macbook....However once and a while i get a stutter usually when clicking close(x) on programs or starting them up for the first time. I am running Mountain Lion, is it normal to have little stutters? Will upgrading the harddrive to an SSD fix the problem. Any help would be great thanks

    I don't follow....did you boot into the recovery partition by restarting while holding Command-R to use Disk Utility?
    You might also try a Safe Boot, maybe you've got a corrupt system file that a Safe Bot can repair http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564

  • Do MacBook Early 2009 Model have 64-bit processor?

    I have a MacBook While 13', Early 2009 Model [ http://support.apple.com/kb/SP504 ]
    I was using Leopard till date, but now want to upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    I read technical specifications for Snow Leopard, and it says that 64-bit support is available with 64-bit processor only [ http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575 ]
    I don't know whether my MacBook have 64-bit processor or not? Do any know about it?
    Can I install Snow Leopard on my MacBook?
    Help me, Please.
    If possible, please show me how can I find whether my MacBook supports 64-bit processing or not?

    Note too, that unless you have more than 4GB of RAM installed, and have applications that are written in 64bit and can access more than 4GB of RAM, there is no discernable difference between running the 32bit kernel or the 64bit kernel.
    Both the 32bit kernel and the 64bit kernel use a memory address system that can use more than 4GB RAM for those applications that support using 64bit memory.  The 32bit kernel itself can only address <4GB RAM for kernel processes, but since it is pretty rare that the kernel itself ever needs anywhere near that much RAM, the difference between the two kernels is pretty much a non-issue for most users (even those running 64bit applications in machines with >4GB of RAM installed).

  • Why Apple did not update Macbook pro retina spec for early 2014?

    Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games. 

    Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.

    Hi There,
    I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
    The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
    I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
    Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
    Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
    There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    Re: My Macbook 2009 model was recently upgraded with a new hard drive and upgraded to Mountain Lion OS. I am battling to retrieve all my photos that were ''saved'' in iCloud. Can someone help?

    If you are trying to recover photo stream photos, they are only held in iCloud for 30 days.  All you would be able ro recover is photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
    If you have an iOS device that still has the photo stream photos one it, you can save them to the camera roll by opening the my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once in the camera roll, they can be imported to iPhoto on your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t use iCloud. There's an iCloud Support Community where everybody uses iCloud. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac

  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013) Storage

    Hi all,
    I am using MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013). Base on its spcification [http://support.apple.com/kb/SP668?viewlocale=en_US], it's configurable to 512GB or 768GB flash storage.
    My corrent storage is 256GB, and I want to upgrade it.
    Is there one more free slot or it need to be replaced with my old SSD???
    Thnanks,

    You need to replace the flash storage. Note that the MacBook Pro with Retina display comes with flash storage because a SSD doesn't fit on it.
    I recommend you to get an external drive and store the files there instead of replacing the flash storage, which is expensive and will void warranty
