MacBook Pro upgrade RAM info needed

i need to upgrade the RAM on my macbook pro 15" i bought october 2011.
the guide on the apple  support page says - PC3-12800 DDR3 1600 MHz type RAM
my computer says - BANK 0/DIMM0:   Size: 2 GB   Type: DDR3   Speed: 1067 MHz   Status: OK   Manufacturer: 0x80AD   Part Number: 0x484D54313235533654465238432D47372020   Serial Number: 0x2CC1E794
i went to amazon and just couldn't find a product that matched ALL the numbers.
SO i pasted the part number into the search box. that didn't work.
is this the correct kit? Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3 - 12800) CL11 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.35V/1.5V Notebook Memory Modules CT2KIT51264BF160B
i know it is probably a lot to ask, but could someone just post a link to the best RAM i am supposed to buy if the one i listed above is not the correct product. or should i just drive down to the apple store with the computer and ask them? heck, maybe just let them do it. thanks!

  • First Macbook Pro upgrade ram

    Hi,
    I have the first macbook pro 17" that came out.
    I have 2 gigs of ram in it at the moment, I was wondering if the 4GB ram will work with it? i.e. is it compatible and will it fit etc?
    Thanks

    Not likely.  Check the manual that came with the your MBP or if you don't have it go to the tech specs for prior generations of MBP's. in Apple support.  I have a 2.16 core due MBP which I suspect is a generation newer than what you have.  2GB is the max that can be installed.  At this point all you can upgrade is the hard drive.
    Ciao.

  • I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 on mid-2009 Macbook Pro (683MB RAM used, 81.67GB free space), do I need additional RAM to update to Snow Leopard?

    I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 on mid-2009 Macbook Pro (683MB RAM used, 81.67GB free space), do I need additional RAM to update to Snow Leopard?
    I was told I can update to Snow Leopard without adding RAM but just read on another discussion thread that someone with the same age Macbook Pro that I have was told to purchase more RAM then update to SL.
    Serial # W8*******6D
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro 5,5

    Thanks!
    I ordered 4 GB from crucial.com, product info below. Do you know if it will be 1 or 2 sticks? If only 1, will I be able to use the original 2 GB installed in the machine and the 4 GB from crucial.com?

    will i have any problem like compatibility??
    thank you.

    A Mid 2010 MacBook Pro supports 16 GB of memory without any problem. Macs are "special" about memory because some brands work without any problem and others don't work. That's why I recommend you to buy the memory from OWC or Crucial in order to make sure that you get compatible memory > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3

  • Comformation of Core Duo-based MacBook/Macbook Pro Upgrade 'N' path

    In an attempt to shorten these threads concerning MacBook/Macbook Pro Upgrade 'N' path using Apple's (AirPort Extreme Upgrade Kit **NEW** Model BCM94321MC) Part #'s MA688Z/B or MA688Z/A (The only difference between the two part numbers appears to be that Part # MA688Z/B come with the new Airport Extreme Base Station installation CD which includes the 'n' enabler.
    Both these cards have been proven to work in both MacBooks. While some have had trouble with the /A card it CLEARLY appears to be a preferences problem. (just repair the preferences prior to installing the card)
    Both cards require the Program Pacifist to install the enabler.
    Pacifist is a small program that opens up .pkg installer packages and lets you install individual files out of them. This is useful if you need to install just one file out of a package instead of the entire package (for example, if you deleted Sherlock and need to reinstall it, but not the whole operating system), if you experience bugs in Installer.app that mess up your symbolic links, or if you just like a little more control over the installation process.
    It can be downloaded free here. http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/6812
    Open the enabler trough pacifist and click install. The program will place the items where they should be.
    Please post your results with these cards!!!!!!

    Here is my step by step MacBook Pro Core Duo 802.11n upgrade guide...
    http://xlr8yourmac.com/systems/macbookprowireless_N_upgrade/macbookpro_N_cardinstall.html#storytop
    The only correction I would make to this is, the stainless tension bars at the top left of the Airport card should not be screwed directly into the card itself, but into the single screw hole directly above the card on the left side with the tension arms angeled down toward the card thereby actually holding the card in place via the tension or presure exerted. The two additional screws that come with the replacement card are not needed if you had and original card in place. There should not be any screws directly holding the card in place. The tension springs arms are only there to hold the card flat. If left as in your photo there could be some inadvertant arcing of static elec. transmitted to the card. THIS only applies to the MacBook Pro as the MAcBook requires being attached by two screws!!!!
    /B Card: MacBook Pro--Courtesy of me: Same installeation as above,
    I have now tried both of the different suggestions of getting internal 802.11n on an original MacBook Pro described on this forum.
    1.) Dell internal 1500 Broadcom pci mini express card (Card Model # BCM94321MC), and
    2.) Apple Pro’s internal (AirPort Extreme Upgrade Kit **NEW** Model BCM94321MC) New Part # MA688Z/B*
    As you can see, both cards contain the same model numbers and incidentally, both only have ‘TWO’ antenna post and fit into the same space the existing PCI mini ‘G’ airport card held. Each installation took less than 20 minutes. Of course the second one took less time than the first.
    I ordered the Dell card ($38 ebay) prior to learning about the Apple Pro card (Apple Store $43), however, both cards worked, performed, connected and were recognized equally well by the new ‘N’ AEBS. Both needed Pacifist for installation of the ‘N’ Enabler. Both cards show connection speeds at 130 in a mixed g/n environment, which appears normal per other post. Both cards performed identically with the new AEBS, except for the speed, as the original Apple 802.11 a/b/g card they replaced.
    I referred to both the http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/85.0.0.html and www.xlr8yourmac.com/ instructions for the disassembly of my MacBook Pro.

    seems to work. no driver problems or what ever!!

    Jean-Paul,
    You know the way I took out my AE card is the exact way I installed it. Do have a picture of the completed install you did?
    I was soooo careful when I performed this task. Is your MacBook Pro a 17"?
    That's what mine is. I am sure that is the difference between the two. I have the 15.2" Service Manual and I see the bracket is completly different then the 17".

  • My MacBook Pro stated that it needed to be updated. I clicked yes to restart the computer and update but when it restarted it stays on the gray screen with the apple logo and then pops up, stating "unable to find driver for this platform." What do I do?

    My MacBook Pro stated that it needed to be updated. I clicked yes to restart the computer and update but when it restarted it stays on the gray screen with the apple logo and then pops up, stating "unable to find driver for this platform." What do I do?

    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
    When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
    Don't install the Thunderbolt update -- it's defective.

    my hard drive crashed on my MacBook Pro crashed and I need to get my CS5 up and running on the new hard drive.

    If you subscribed to iTunes match the songs are kept in icloud. If you didn't but you did save the actual iTunes library folder which should include the music, video, etc.  you should be able to just drag this file back to your machine in the same place and when you open iTunes it will give you a chance to identify the iTunes library folder. 
    You can test this to find out if you saved the media files or not and don't need to attach your nano to do it. 
    You are correct that once you connect the nano it will clear the existing files from it and sync it with the new iTunes library. 
    If you don't have the media files i'm not sure if/how to get them back on a windows ipod.  I have everything backed up regularly because of the horror stories I have seen & heard.

  • Is it safe to keep downloaded movies in the Macbook Pro or do I need to use an external hard disk for those ? Please suggest.

    Is it safe to store the downloaded movies from iTunes in my Macbook Pro or do I need to store those separately in an external hard disk ? Please advice.

    It will be no better or worse than any other video file and should not be responsible for any system instability.  As I alluded to earlier, video takes up a lot of space and you can quickly use up that 200 GB of space.  Download a few files to you MBP and see what impact it has.  I have a couple of external HDDs dedicated to video files (and backups of same) due to the large file sizes. 
    If you find that space is getting tight on your MBP, then get an external for the video files and another one to back them up.  I have a couple of external HDDs dedicated to video files (and backups of same) due to the large file sizes.
    Ciao.

    This is it. Programming was done by idiots. People at schools IT department 20 or so full time positions know less then kids at Best Buy GeekSquad minimum wage part time, don't know or even want to call to find out. They just sit there and ask if the antivirus is upto date, I cant install your software that check the antivirus, "ITS NOT THE ANTIVIRUS". Three weeks and as always I have to find the fix myself. My god, why do I work for my money when I can just sit and collect it. Sorry for the rant.
    This fix works and needs to be loaded on the campus network.

    If you purchased a computer from another person, you need to wipe it clean.  To do this, click on the link - Erasing disks securely 
    Depending on your model Macbook Pro...
    Start up from your install disc, go to Disk Utility and select the disk and click erase - to securely erase data click Security Options and Erase Free Space which will entirely wipe your disk, overwriting it with zeros so that no data is recoverable.
