Memory For my 17" MacBook Pro 2.93, Early 2009

Apple calls for:
- Double Data Rate Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (DDR3) format
- 204-pin
- PC3-8500 DDR3 1066 MHz type RAM
Crucial is out of stock. Their part no. is CT925856
If I Google this part number, Amazon has this one in stock:
Crucial CT2KIT51264BC1067 8GB 204-PIN PC3-8500 SODIMM DDR3 (4GBx2)
The difference appears to be the 1067 in the part number versus 1066
Is this an acceptable replacement?

Strange, because since my original post, I googled:
Crucial CT2KIT51264BC1067 8GB 204-PIN PC3-8500 SODIMM DDR3
and the first hit was:
http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=ct2kit51264bc1067
There is a compatibility tool at the left and if I input:
Step 1 - Apple
Step 2 - MacBook Pro
Step 3 - MacBook Pro 2.93 etc.
The response is: This part ct2kit51264bc1067 is not compatible.

What is the difference between Macbook Pro late 2008 & early 2009 ???

I just bought a Macbook Pro on 1/1/09. I'm assuming I got a Late 2008. What is the difference between Macbook Pro late 2008 & early 2009 ???
-Rany

The "late 2008" macbook pro refers to the new 15 inch MBP currently out, and the early 2009 refers to it's big brother, the 17 inch which is due to come out in the near future.

MacBook Pro Late 2008 - Early 2009

Hi,
I've got a MacBook Pro unibody late 2008-early 2009 with Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I would like to know if my processor is 32bit or 64bit so that I will decide to use 32bit software or 64bit software.
Thanks in advance.
Giacomo

Hi Giacomo,
every Intel Core 2 Duo processor is a 64-bit processor.
Only the very first Intel Core Duo (without the '2') are only 32-bit processors.

Tip: My MacBook Pro 5.2 (Early 2009) works great on Mavericks!

Hi there,
After upgrading to Mavericks I initially got what I deserved, or so I thought: a slow computer that wasn't working well with this advanced operating system.
It was a very slow machine and I blamed Mavericks for it as all was still running well with Mountain Lion.
The thing is I upgraded from Mountain Lion. Upgrading time after time just seemed to be to much for the old machine, so I reinstalled without formatting the hard drive a few weeks ago. That did not seem to do the trick. In the long run it only made things worse.
What did make my Mac blazing fast like when I unboxed it?
Formatting the hard drive and reinstalling it.
WARNING though:
First copy all keychains from ~\Library\Keychains to a save location or use iCloud Keychain
First copy all Documents from where you store them to a save location, like iCloud
First copy your Music Library to a save location or sync them with iTunes Match
Using the latter options provides the least obstacles when after reinstalling your mac you don't accidentally choose to empty your iCloud Keychain...
WOW, I'm working on a 5 year old Mac just as fluently as when I got it. Way to go Apple. Try doing that with a PC...
Hope this helps others who thing it is time to upgrade.

sorry, just a little frusturated and want this box back to being 100% stable.

Can anyone point me to the correct type of RAM to purchase for a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009)?

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) that recently had some problems and I was forced to reinstall OSX and ended up upgrading to Yosemite (I was previously using Mavericks). Unfortunately I did not realize how much OSX 10.10 would slow down my computer, so I'm looking to upgrade my RAM from 4GB to 8GB to help resolve this. However, I don't really have a good idea what type of RAM I need aside from the fact that it needs to be 1066 MHz. I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction as to what the exact type of RAM I need to purchase or possibly link me to a site where I could buy what I require. I know some people claim third party RAM doesn't work as well as memory that is made and/or sold by apple but I would prefer to go with whatever is cheapest.

A 15" mid-2009 MBP RAM specifications are: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
As has been pointed out, OWC is an excellent source for Mac compatible RAM. Crucial is another first rate source for Mac RAM. RAM from either vendor will work just as well as any purchased from Apple with the bonus of being less expensive and having a lifetime guarantee.
Ciao.

Is there a maximum RAM capacity for a Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2009?

My questions is essentially, is there a maximum RAM capacity for a Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2009? I'm aware there are two RAM slots in my machine, but in past experiences with other laptops/desktop computers (not Apple) there was a default maximum which couldn't be overidden despite how much RAM was inserted.

You can upgrade up to 8GB using 2 x 4GB 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 modules. That's the maximum (unlike 2011 and later models which Apple tells you can only hold 8GB but can actually run 16GB).
If you do order RAM, order from a Mac memory specialist - Crucial, OWC, Corsair, etc.
Good luck,
Clinton

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. Corsair RAM is compatible with your Mac and the Early 2011 MacBook Pro supports 16 GB of memory. Make sure you buy the correct memory for your MacBook Pro. See > http://www.corsair.com/us/memory-by-product-family/mac-memory-upgrades.html

TS1367 Will reinstalling the memory card from my MacBook pro erase my saved data?

Will reinstalling the memory card from my MacBook pro erase my saved data?
My MacBook pro that I purchased in mid 2010 has been having some issues lately.
It's been running slow, which is very irregular since in 2010 I spent a lot of money to get the top of the line in every aspect. It's usually faster than fast and able to run multiple programs and browsers at a time.
The other day it began to act up. I did the smc reset the pram reset and it still had been running vveerryy ssllooww. :(
Now I was on it this morning and it was a bit unbalanced as I moved it to another table and it shut off completely. No sleep light, no response to the power button. It's just a dead hunk of junk. :( the only thing that gives me hope is that the battery life indicated is still working for some reason and it responds to the power adaptor when plugged in the light on the plug turns on as if the computer is acknowledging it.
Please help me. For the first time ever I am about to take apart my precious MacBook pro, but I want to make sure I am aware of what I am doing before I do it. I have read the support guide instructions through a few times so far and I am curious if removing the memory and reinstalling it will erase anything?
Is there hope?
Also currently I am unable to get to an apple store/ genius bar any live person at a store until this weekend. I am trying to avoid taking it in for I, like everyone else, need my computer for school and work and don't have the time or gas money to drive to one since I'm not in a metro area. : S
Please help!
Thanks for your time.

No, does not erase any data if you upgarede or reinstall RAM sticks.
You'd better upgrade RAM to get better performance, I suppose.

Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro? I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

Maybe the wrong port or the wrong kind of memory card? You didn't say what version/year of Macbook Pro you have. Below is a photo of the newest one.
Red oval = USB port. It is to the left of the headphone jack.
Blue oval = SDXC card port. Is your card an SDXC card?
What are your options for transferring data to the picture frame? The manual should say.

My Macbook Pro (15-in early 2008) in need of display replacement doesn't come back from repair for 1 month now...

I left my Macbook Pro (15-inch early 2008 vers) w/ OSX 10.5.8 had a serious display problem - it was very touch sensitive and won't show full view immediately without touching more than several times on the right side of the screen. Sometimes it gives ridiculous amount of lines or repetitions, however, the harddrive was working just fine. (Upon getting the view back, all applications were working just fine.)
So I dropped it off at Apple 5th Ave (24hrs) store on March 19th. The MBP was received by an Apple repair hub (so not in-store repair) on the 23rd. Ever since it has been 'on-hold' status mentioning 'part on order'. So, today is April 19th. Exactly 1 month since I dropped it off.
I called Apple 5th Ave, which gave me a number to Apple repair dept. Upon having talked with a rep there, the particular part (because they were initially suspecting its logic board too) they have been waiting for is the very display. As it has been manufactured in Japan, it seems to be really back-ordered, obviously due to the current crisis in the northern Japan.
I heard that iPad2's displays have been seriously back-ordered too... but now I started worrying about my old MBP's display may be the lowest priority before such hot product like 'iPad2'??!! Being Japanese myself, I totally understand the situation... but if it'd take extremely long time even from now, it definitely causes me more than temporary problems as it is the only laptop that I use for everything I do. (Luckily, a friend of mine has been loaning her laptop until she will need it when she goes on trip. But it's been already a month instead of 5-7 business days turn-around that the genius bar rep initially told me. I have been using her laptop with my external disk but of course, it's been quite inconvenient.)
I'm wondering if Apple can help this situation by replacing the whole machine w/ a refurbished one from the same model??? or temporarily loaning me one?!? I'm just becoming desperate & worried now. Is there anyone who has a similar situation?!?

Call Apple and asked to be transferred to "Customer Relations." Explain everything to them and the will take care of you. Make sure you have all your documents and case numbers when you call.

I need a good monitor for the retina macbook pro

What is a good monitor for the retina macbook pro. Im looking for 27 inch that is around the price of the thunderbolt display. The only thing putting me off the thunderbolt display is that i wouldnt be able to watch stuff on my xbox on it due to no hdmi.
Im going to university so it would be useful to be able to watch tv and play games on the monitor too but Im more interested in a monitor that will work great on the rmbp and on photoshop. I need to be able to calibrate it perfectly.

If I am understanding you correctly you should look at the 27 inch Samsung HD LED. Best Buy has it on sale for $340

Whats the maximum resolution resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?

whats the maximum resolution supported @ 60 Hz on an external display for mid 2014 macbook pro retina 13 inch ?

I don't know where you found 1920x1080, but that isn't the max. The INTERNAL display can even support more than that.
The maximum resolution is really hardware based, and since Thunderbolt 2 has a Mini displayport connector (Mini Displayport 1.2), the max resolution for Mini Displayport is 4k (3840x2160).
PLEASE NOTE: Not all adapters can support that resolution, most monitors that can run 4k @60Hz have Displayport 1.2 (The most recent revision), Mini Displayport 1.2, and HDMI 2.0. DVI dual link can run 4k, but only 24-30Hz, depending on the monitor.
Hope this helps!!

Should I get a 2.0 or 3.0 USB external hard drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro? I need it to be compatible with the USB ports of both a PC and a Mac.

Should I get a 2.0 or 3.0 USB external hard drive for my 2011 Macbook Pro? I need it to be compatible with the USB ports of both a PC and a Mac. I was thinking of getting a Seagate becuase apparently it is compatible with both systems, but I want to know which would be a better investment.
