Maximum RAM - MacBook Pro

Just wondering if anyone knows for sure whats the maximum RAM allowable for,
13-inch: 2.5GHz
Specifications
2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
4GB 1600MHz memory
500GB 5400-rpm hard drive1
Intel HD Graphics 4000
(is it really only 8GB?)
vs.
13-inch: 2.4GHz with Retina display
Specifications
2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 2.9GHz
4GB 1600MHz memory
128GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Intel Iris Graphics
Built-in battery (9 hours)2
(is it 16GB?)

You can't upgrade Retina model RAM. You can, however, upgrade the RAM on the first model - up to 16GB. Of course, I believe that you may be able to order 16GB on the Retina machine - I know that you can on the 15" models.

No problems, go ahead, I'm doing it too, when the price for 16GB comes down a wee bit more.

Sorry, read the post as with retina.
Standard RAM:
4 GB
Maximum RAM:
16 GB*
Details:
4 GB of RAM is installed as two 2 GB modules, no slots free. *Apple officially supports a maximum of 8 GB of RAM, but third-parties have determined that this model actually is capable of using up to 16 GB of RAM with two 8 GB memory modules. In the US (and many other countries), site sponsor Other World Computing sells memory -- as well as other upgrades -- for this MacBook Pro.

The link you posted is compatible RAM and from a reputable company. I bought my 2 X 8 GB modules from crucial when I upgraded my MBP RAM to 16 GB.
Go with that kit.
Note that DDR3 1600 MHz RAM is the only type of RAM your machine takes.

Resolution maximum on Macbook pro

Good evening, I have a doubt about the macbook, I need a quality monitor and I thought Thunderbolt Apple Display (flat panel 27 "), but the maximum resolution offered by the laptop is 1280 * 800, thus becoming unable to Benefit the maximum resolution your monitor is 2560x1440 instead. There is a device that can connect to your laptop for maximum exploitation to the maximum resolution of MN?
Also alternatively, I would like to know a third monitor that is comparable to the Apple Display Thunderbolt, maybe the Dell UltraSharp U2410 61 cm (24 ") with PremierColor?
Thanks for your help.
Greetings.

MacBook Pros support a maximum resolution of 2560 by 1600 pixels on external displays. The MBP should manage each display (built-in or external) independently.

Vram HD4000 before upgrade ram macbook pro

Hello! Today I upgraded the ram in my macbook pro 15 "late 2012 (i7 2.3 ghz) bringing it to 16GB. Ram is Samsung 1600MHz. Vram I have noticed, however, that the HD4000 is not increased to 768MB (as it should be 4gb ram = 386mb vram, 8gb ram = 512mb vram; 16gb = 768MB vram.) What can I do about this "problem" does anyone know anything? (sitema is the mountain lion aggornato latest version).
Thank you.

The video memory (Vram) on any Intel integrated graphics is dynamic meaning that the amount allocated is dependant on :
The amount of total memory installed in the machine ie 2Mb, 4Mb etc
The program being used and how graphically demanding it is.
Thus the machine will allocate anything from 64 Mb upto 768Mb, you as the user can not normally change this.
(This is the same for Windows machines with Intel graphics)

Want to upgrade from 4mg RAM to 8mg RAM MacBook Pro mid 2012

I want to upgrade my MacBook Pro (13" mid 2012, 2.5GHz, Intel Core i5) from 4mg RAM to 8mg RAM. Running Mavericks. Any suggestions on which brand name RAM I should consider?
Do I need to go to an Apple Store to get my RAM put in (quite far for me) or is it okay to go to a place like Future Shop or Best Buy? Should I attempt it myself?
I found this thread:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1270

2 sticks is the norm. Crutial is recommened because it is known to work properly, as well as having support. I have read of instances of problems with other suppliers. Try pricing it from Apple.

Black screen after upgrading ram (macbook pro late 2007)

Dear Community,
I am willing to donate 100 USD to anyone who is willing/able to provide concrete resolution to this problem.
I am a professional freelance videoeditor and my job is currently stucked due to inability to boot my macbook pro again.
After upgrading the RAM of my MBP (late 2007 model, 17'' display, Intel 2.4GHz Dual Core processor), the screen went black and the system did not boot any more.
I tried to replace the orginal 2 x 1GB DDR2 533 CL=5 SODIMM (single rank) with 2 X 2GB DDR2 800 CL=6 SODIMM (dual ranks).
After the memory upgrade, the system was restarted, I heard a short beep, but the macbook showed a black screen instead of booting properly. The mainboard was powered, the fan was moving. I saw a green led turned on on the center of one side of the macbook.
I tried to mount the previuos 2 x 1GB DRAM SODIMMs, but nothing happened. The system keeps not booting even with the original memory.
I tried already several procedures suggested by the user manual, related to SMC Intel controller reset (with battery and without battery and charger), but those were not effective in restoring the normal operation of the macbook. The system keeps not booting with exactly similar issues (black screen, fan on, short beep after power-on, green LED on).
I also tried to swap the memory DIMMs into the memory sockets. I tried to use a different combination with 1 NEW 2GB and 1 OLD 1GB DIMM. But the problem is still there with similar sympthoms.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY CLUE OF HOW TO SOLVE THIS?

My best guess is that you have fried the RAM with static electricity charged up in your body. According to OGELTHORPE a beep on startup is because of no RAM, if when installing you did not do it correctly, you could have fried the RAM, which then your mac will not recognize it. The same with the old RAM, if you tried to re-install it and didn't pull up your sleeve and rest your arm on the inside of the chassis, then it is fried, or if you didn't wear an ESD band and connect it to the the chassis, then it is fried.
Seen as though you can't startup your mac, I can't say to do an AHT, buy some new ram, and start with the lowest one you can, so its cheap for ya use a different company incase is that;) Crucial.com is really good, I got an 8gb upgrade from 2gb. Let me tell you, it's great!

Upgrading Ram Macbook Pro 2012 13"Crucial RAM

Hello,
I am looking at buying Crucial ram for my 2012 Macbook Pro 13". At the moment it is 4gb and I want to upgrade to 8. I am looking at the crucial ram as it is much cheaper than the Apple ram. Is there any disadvatage in this? Or is it better to stick with Apple?
Thanks

I always buy Crucial: I've put their RAM in at least 12 Macs and never once had any problems.
I have 16 GB of theirs in my 2012 MacBook Pro.
The only disadvantage to not using Apple's RAM is that Apple will blame the third-party RAM if you get a hardware fault. So keep hold of your old RAM so that you can replace it for testing purposes, if needed.

Maximum RAM macbook can handle

what's the maximum RAM that a 2.16GHz macbook core 2 duo can utilize/handle?
if i install a total of 4gb in RAM, will all the 4gb be utilized or just 3gb of it?
thanks

Hi,
My 2.16 GHz MacBook is currently running with 2.5 GB of RAM. I had originally ordered it with 1 GB (2 512 MB SODIMMs), but upgraded one of the original SODIMMs to a 2 GB stick from OtherWorldComputing.com. The system runs beautifully, never and issue. I purchased my MacBook in mid-May 2006 and the memory about 2 weeks later.
I believe the MacBook will only address up to 3 GB. If you put 2 2GB sticks in it, it will still only address 3 GB, although you may achieve a slight performance benefit from having matched DIMMs. The charts published by OtherWorldComputing.com suggested to me that the performance increase I would see by having an extra 1.5GB of RAM would far outweigh the slight penalty for not having matched DIMMs. And at the time, it was cheaper to go with a 2 GB stick than upgrading both 512 MB sticks to 1 GB sticks...plus I got an extra 512 MB of RAM to boot.

Hi m,
Crucial is known for making good RAM and standing behind it. If you order the correct RAM for your MBP, it will work fine, and if it doesn't they will replace it.

New i7 8GB RAM MacBook Pro losing network in Windows 7

I have a new MacBook Pro running Windows 7 64-bit. In Windows it wil sporadically lose both ethernet and wifi at the same time, dropping to a self-assigned 169.254 IP address. To fix it I need to either toggle wifi or disconnect the ethernet and plug it back in.
This is a very annoying issue as the only reason I use Windows is to play games and I get disconnected at the worst times. This is whats strange though, when both ethernet and wifi cut at the same time, unplugging ethernet and plugging it back in will fix BOTH network connections. On wifi only, I am forced to disconnect and reconnect. I have tried reinstalling he drivers with no luck.
This happens on a wide range of places at my decent-sized college campus. I haven't tested it anywhere else as I only use my MBP for Windows at school, I have a desktop for gaming at home. Has anyone experienced this? My friend has the same i7 and his MBP seems to occasionally disconnect as well, just not as often as mine.

I think I have isolated the source of this problem. It's the Pitstop Professional 9 plug in. I un-installed this, and everything opens quicker than greased lightning. I re-installed it and it's back to slowsville.
Unfortunately Pitstop is essential to my workflow.
Until recently I did my pre-press on a Mac G5 with Acrobat Pro 7 and Pitstop 6.5. I never had this problem with slow file opening. But it seems that the delays would occur when I used the plug-in with large complex files.. So it would open files as fast as you'd expect from an elderly machine. But starting to use Pitstop would result in a prolonged period of staring at a spinning beachball.
I wonder is there any way to stop the Pitstop plug-in from initializing until it is used? So the plug-in stays inert until you select the tool from from the menus.
