Team,
I have a macbook pro and I wonder if it supports 16GB of RAM memory.
Thanks.

yes the MacBook Pro early 2011 models and later support 16gb of ram.

Why is my Macbook pro getting out of RAM memory?

I am getting a message that tells me i am out of memory and it gives me an option to quit apps i have opened, most of times it's just Safari and i have no idea why is this happening suddenly, i have Mavericks 10.9.4 everything updated, and a 15 inches Macbook pro 2.3 GHz Quad-core 4 Gb-Ram.
Sometimes it gets out of memory just surfing on Safari, checking mails, or chatting on Skype, what could be wrong?
I had upgraded to the public beta of Yosemite but i couldn't stand it and formatted my computer again and downgraded to Mavericks, but i don't know why i feel it slower now compared with the last time i used it with the same Mavericks version. i hope this doesn't delete my question since i am not revealing anything about the beta.
Please any Help!

Get rid of "Memory Clean." It's worse than useless.
There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
          A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
          Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
          View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Can first editions macbook pros support 3gb of ram?

I am about to upgrade the ram on my macbook pro 17". I was wondering if anyone has tried to put a 2gb stick into the laptop to see if it would work? or is 2gb the max for the whole computer?
Thanks

From what i have read, the CD chipset on the logicboard only takes 2GB RAM. Apparently you can have any combination of RAM, as long as you don't exceed 2GB (i.e. 2GB so-dimm alone works, but a 2GB in one slot and a 1GB in the other does not)

Thanks for the help and advice !

I don't know because the only info they provide is a part number. You would have to go to the mfgr.'s website to find out the actual specification. It appears to be OK but I would get the real specs for it.
I would consider it wiser to trust my RAM purchases to OWC or DataMem. Brand isn't of any importance but the reliability of the vendor is. Be sure whatever you buy carries a manufacturer's lifetime warranty.

Macbook Pro 10.6.8 RAM Upgarde to 8 GB

I bought a macbook pro 10.6.8 a long time ago and It's working wonderful. I couldn't be happier how fast it is comparing to any other windows computers that I have used in the past. As mather of fact, I have 2 Desktop and 2 Laptops.
I'm a programmer / Web Designer and a Social Media Expert and I was hoping someone can actually enlighten me with some advices regarding this type of mac when it comes to upgrades.
I use a lot of Adobe Programs those days and or some Video Production that require a lot of memory. I was happy with everything untill I decided to upgrade my RAM to 8 GB. Right now those are my computer specifications:
Model Name:
MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:
MacBookPro7,1
Processor Name:
Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:
2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:
1
Total Number Of Cores:
2
L2 Cache:
3 MB
Memory:
4 GB
Bus Speed:
1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version:
MBP71.0039.B0B
SMC Version (system):
1.62f6
Serial Number (system):
34******ATM
Hardware UUID:
I decided to go ahead and buy 8GB or RAM from Amazon. I was very excited when I got them and decided to finally upgrade and this is what happend:
If I pull out the 2 memory sticks of 2GB each and remplace them with the new 4GB Stick each the computer froze. It restart and does not get pass the gray screen with the thing spinning for about 2 minutes before it froze.
If I only pull out one (1) Memory stick of 2GB and remplace it with 4GB, the computer works fine and it restart with no problems and I get 6 GB. After doing the Memtest, everything seems to be functioning properly. But the computer is not any faster nor I see any difference at all.
The only combination that does not function is if I use both 4GB RAM each then as I said it froze. I even called CORSAIR " The place I bought my RAM from and explain to them the ptoblem and they end up sending me another version of the 4GB but it's still the same problem " Frozen ".
A guy I've been talking to had the same issue and end up using 16GB and he told me that his Macbook pro works perfect with the combination of two (2) 8GB RAM together. Doesn't make any sens to me but it still works.
If anyone has encounter a similar problem would you please comment? Thank you all very much!

The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

I'm a normal user, using cad programme, not using my laptop for games, my question is: do I need to get 16 gb ram in my retina macbook pro or 8 gb ram is pretty enough?

I'm a normal user, using cad programme, not using my laptop for games, my question is: do I need to get 16 gb ram in my retina macbook pro or 8 gb ram is pretty enough?
Thanks for support.

8 GB may be sufficient for CAD but 16 would be a much better idea.
All the Macs I have ever owned were eventually upgraded to the maximum amount of memory they could use. Considering that as of now, the RAM you specify is all the RAM you will ever have, get as much as you can. That is the only way to maximize its economic life.
If Apple offered a 32 GB version I'd get it.

I usually have 2 or less Gb of available RAM. Can my computer run these?

Your MacBook Pro supports that game without any problem. The only issue you may have is related to the GPU in case you have got a 13-inch MacBook Pro, because the integrated GPU may not work well with games, but this can be solved by setting lower game settings.
The amount of RAM required by the game refers to the total amount of RAM your Mac has got, so you can also run it. To make sure you have the maximum amount of RAM available, close all apps while you are playing. You do not need any application while you are using any game

MacBook Pro very high overall RAM usage

Hi, I'm using a late 2012 13" MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM and a dual core i7 and I've been experiencing very high RAM usage for the last couple of weeks even though I'm not really doing anything. Here's a activity monitor screenshot
As you can see I'm only really using Chrome and Sublime Text (3). Twitter and Outlook are also open but don't take up that much (Twitter maybe but that just seems to be badly optimised and it's all gone when I close it).
So, is this normal?
Thanks in a

This is normal. The two most important things in that screenshot are 'Swap Used' (0 means you never ran out of RAM) and the Memory Pressure graph (everything green = good). For the rest the OS knows to handle RAM,

Why does my MacBook Pro sometimes restores its RAM when I open it, even though it did not run out of battery?

Sometimes when I open my MacBook Pro, it restores its RAM, as if it has run out of battery, even though it has not run out of battery and it has been charging. Why does this happen, and should it be happening?

It's similar to hybernation mode in Windows.
If you put your laptop to sleep, after X amount of hours it will move to the "deeper" sleep level (save memory to disk and shut down...), to save up battery.
Otherwise if you left your laptop asleep in the evening, you could wake up to a dead battery. Not a great surprise when you in hurry to leave the house with your laptop...

How do I use my serial number to find information about my MacBook Pro's Processor and RAM?

So I want to find information about my MacBook Pro's processor and RAM using the serial number because the MacBook no longer works. I remember being able to find this information on the apple website before, maybe by using the coverage checker. Did they take this information out of the coverage checker? Is it no longer possible for a costumer to obtain this information?

Append the last three characters of it to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.
This won't reveal how much RAM it currently has installed.

How to know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3?

How to know my macbook pro supports usb2 or usb3 ?
And if it is USB 2, will external hardisk which support usb 2 would be compatible with & vice-versa?
What would be the cons?

USB 3.0 ports were only added to those MacBook Pros that were released in mid 2012 and later.
So you would have USB 2.0 ports on your machine.
But USB 3.0 and 2.0 are 'compaitble,' somewhat - you just won't be able to get the throughput of a USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 connection.
