Need more than 4GB of RAM Macbook

I have an early Macbook Pro 13" (2011) w/ a 2.7Ghtz Processor and 4GB 1333 of DDR3  Ram and I'm wanting to upgrade to 8GB of ram or more if possible.  It's showing it's not available for my machine when I looked on the apple site.  Does this mean I'm stuck w/ what I have?  I would hope that I can upgrade my ram on my laptop instead of having to buy a whole new computer.  Any pros out there that can help what I think is a simple question to you experienced Mac guys. 

It is capable of:
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
Good sources for memory are:
OWC
DataMem
Crucial.com

  • More than 4GB of RAM in iMac 8,1 under Snow Leopard

    Greetings,
    I have an iMac 8.1, running under Snow Leopard in 64bits mode (i.e. kernel is in 64 bits). I am wondering if I can install - and use - more than 4GB of RAM now that my iMac is booting in 64bits mode?
    Thank you for your help!

    "32 bits mode" does not limit Mac OS X to 4GB or 6GB. Mac Pros could go up to 32GB of RAM, even when they were first introduced with Tiger (10.4) as the OS.
    The current iMacs use the 32-bit kernel by default (to maintain compatibility with third-party extensions that have not been upgraded yet). However, it is fully capable of running 64-bit processes (system processes and applications) and using as much RAM as the Mac in question is capable of using, whether that is 4GB, 6GB, 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB.
    So to summarize, the RAM limit is based on the hardware, not the software. This isn't like Windows, where 32-bit Windows has a usable RAM limit of somewhere between 3 and 4GB.

  • Audigy 2 ZS with Windows 7 64-Bit and more than 4GB of RAM

    Hello,
    I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit and I have installed 8GB RAM. I installed the latest Beta driver and I'm not able to use my microphone. It doesn't recognize any input at all. As soon as I remove 4GB RAM so only 4 GB RAM remain everything works as expected. The microphone problem is only there when you have more than 4GB RAM installed. Is there any driver or workaround to make the microphone work again?
    I don't want to
    use another version of Windows 7<
    reduce my RAM<
    use onboard sound<
    I hope you can help me or at least tell me if (and when) Creative wants to fix this.
    Thank you. Kind regards

    No solution from me, but I just wanted to chime in because I have the same problem and I'd like to explain it in detail. I've actually had this problem with Vista 64-bit (6GB of RAM) for the past 2 years. It's a very flaky/random problem, where about 40% of the time the microphone worked fine, 20% where I would get minor crackling (turns my voice into a robot voice), 20% with MAJOR crackling, and 20% where the microphone didn't work at all. When it would either crackle or stop working, I would usually restart the computer. After the computer booted up again, it would work fine 95% of the time (I very rarely had to reboot it twice in a row). However, it would randomly change states (between the four listed above) throughout the duration of the computer staying on. And, it would usually progress in the direction of "being more and more broken". For example:
    .) Wake up, turn on my computer. Everything works fine.
    2.) Go to class, come back. Now the microphone crackles.
    3.) Do some homework, eat dinner. Now the microphone doesn't work at all.
    I was excited when the SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_8_00.exe update came out in July so I can finally get a consistent working microphone in a 64-bit version of Windows. Then everything came together last week, when I got a copy of Windows 7 64-bit Professional from my school. I tried the drivers and....FAIL. Pretty much the same thing, but different percentages/tendencies than listed above for Vista.
    I just found this on another thread which highlights some useful information:
    Microphone issues on Windows 7/Vista 64-bit (x64) with 4GB?of RAM or more
    Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, resulting in random issues with the Microphone (static, robotic or distorted voice, white noise).
    Workarounds:
    - install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows
    - limit the RAM available to Windows to less than 4GB
    - enable Memore Hole in BIOS Setup, if?your motherboard supports the setting
    Haha, why even release a 64-bit "compatible" driver when it doesn't even work right in 64-bit operating systems? Should I not expect a proper driver and buy an Asus Xonar instead?

  • 2010 Macbook pro is running slow in Mavericks.  Do I need more than 4gb ram?

    My late 2010 13" 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro is running slow since upgrading to Mavericks.  I currently only have 4gb of ram.  When I boot up It takes quite awhile (nearly 5 minutes or more) before the system is usable.  Or it takes almost as long to switch to another user.  Once I let it sit, it runs fine.  I'm mostly using Safari and possibly MS Word at any given time.  I looked at the Activity monitor and I believe I'm using aboiut 3.6 - 3.9gb of physical memory and over 4gb of virtual memory.  Swap is using 0 at all times.
    Do I need more RAM?  Wipe my drive and do a fresh install?  I'm reluctant to do the latter, because I don't want to have to reinstall all of my apps (even witha TM backup).
    Thanks all

    Thanks Linc for any help-
    Hope I didn't paste too much.  Uninstalling CleanMyMac has already helped some.  Here goes:

  • Does MacBook Pro need more than 4gb ram to run osx lion?

    Machine is mid 2009, 4gb ram, 2.26 ghz processor.   Since installing the operating system update and updates to iPhoto, most programs take a longer to load than originally.  I have plenty of hard drive space available for virtual memory. 
    I have priced up adding ram, but want to be sure before I spend the money. 

    I think it is safe to say, yes Lion requires more RAM to run and maintain the OS compared to your previous Snow Leopard or Tiger.  But still 2 GB of RAM is advertised as the minimum requirement.

    The new Mavericks does seem to manage memory better however the RAM requirement is the same.

    RAM is considered your best bang for the buck,  if you do decide to upgrade.

  • Adding more than 4GB of RAM to a 1.6GHz PPC

    Can I add an additional 2GB RAM to this machine? The DIMM slots are currently full with 4GM RAM but there is room to install 2 more DIMM slots and add the RAM to those. The question is - will the computer recognize the additional RAM? The specs say 4GB RAM max.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I see a contradiction in
    The DIMM slots are curr*ently full* with 4GM RAM but +there is room+ to install 2 more DIMM slots and add the RAM to those
    There are 4 DIMM slots for 4 x 1GB
    Where would there be any room for more???
    You can't use DIMMs of 2GB
    Some G5 1.8DP had 8 DIMM slots but not 1.6SP

  • If my Mini is running 64 bit can I run more than 4Gb RAM?

    I hear ALL over the place that the mini can not use more than 4Gb RAM.
    Is this a hardware limitaion of the motherboard/Processor?
    OR
    Is this due to the fact that mini's run at 32 bit?
    You can now easily run modern mini's at 64 bit:

    So who knows the REAL answer?
    Thanks -

    Most of the Minis are limited to less than 4GB and that is a hardware limitation. The newest Mini with the nVidia video can access more. Apple only supports 4GB because they use matched DIMMs, which on paper have a slight performance improvement over unmatched DIMMs. For whatever reason, Apple doesn't yet support 4GB DIMMs in the Mini. (I suspect that the power requirements or prices for the larger DIMMS may have affected Apple's decision.)
    If you do have an appropriate Mini, then you can get compatible 4GB DIMMs from [Macsales|http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/mac-mini> or others. Regardless, although I normally trust Macsales, more than 4GB is not supported by Apple, so you have to take that in to consideration. (i.e.: warranty from Apple or Applecare.)

  • Could the late 2008 MBP take more than 8GB of RAM?

    I just recently upgraded the RAM on my late 2008 15" MacBook Pro from 2GB to 8GB, and this sucker's running like a sports car!    So this has me wondering.  I have babied this thing, and it is plenty powerful for me but what happens 2-3 more years down the road?  I had read that the late 2008 models originally could only handle up to 6GB but do to a fimware update in April of 2010 that capacity was upped to 8GB.  Is there ever a chance that the RAM capacity could go up again?  If not, why?

    you're probably stuck at 8GB - i wish i can upgrade my late 08 Macbook to more than 8GB - tried it, but never worked - gave it to my niece instead.
    i don't really think you'd use more if you're just running normal apps.
    have a look at the image below - that's my macbook with 16GB and have 9 apps running - see how much I have free?
    by the time you need more than 8GB - you'll probably buy a new macbook by then - do remember, new macbooks are still selling with 4GB of RAM installed in them.
    good luck

  • PS CC Says I need more than 512 Vram ...

    I was using Photoshop last night just to prep a couple of photos for class submission (3 pictures, just reducing their size for web consumption), and I got the message stating that I needed more than 512 Megs of Vram, which was odd to me, as I have 1024 Dedicated available on my video card. I don't run a dual monitor setup any longer, but I do have an ASUS PBs278 that's running at 2560 X 1440. My current graphics card is an ATI Radeon 6800 HD, and my windows 7 system is running on 8 gigs of ram. Up till within the last week, CC has worked just fine, but the other day on boot, it took an unusually long time to get into the software. It eventually did, and I'm wondering if that was an update or some such that's now made the software decree that if it doesn't have the 512 it thinks it should have, the 3d functions won't happen. I don't know if it's a consequence of the larger quantity of pixels being pushed, or if it's the video card getting too old to support CC at such a high resolution now, but some help would be amazing.

    Windows 7, 64 bit. I haven't been able to replicate the error, but I have the new drivers as well. I hope this just ends up being a fluke.

  • Need more than 90 minutes of continual video

    ,Need more than 90 minutes of continual video? Hi all,
    I'm using the Vado HD [first gen] as a "hidden cam" type of thing for a play that I am filming. I have 2 normal cameras set out in the audience, but I want to mount the Vado HD above the stage for a bird's eye view of a sword fight scene that I can cut to when editing footage. The problem is that the fight scene happens near the end of the play and there are no intermissions.
    Since the filesystem used on the Vado HD is FAT and not NTFS or HFS+, I run into the 4GB limit and the camera simply puts itself to sleep about 45 minutes into recording even though there is more space on the dri've and the battery is fine.
    Can I reformat the Vado HD with HFS+ or NTFS? [i use a Mac but can run windows via VMware Fusion if need be]. Is there any way to squeeze 90 minutes of video in one file on this camera? If I reformat the camera, will it mess it up? [i don't use any of the apps that were installed on the camera - i moved them from the vid camera to my laptop actually, so i don't care about losing anything valuable on the vid camera].
    Thanks for any tips you might have!

    Could the reason be that you are capturing to an FAT32 format hard drive and it is only allowing you a limited maximum file size? Not sure but I think it is 4GB which would equate to 1/3 of a DV 13GB hour ...or about 20 minutes.
    If that is correct, and you should be able to tell because the capture window will display the file size limit as space available during capture, you could do one of two things:
    * reformat the drive as NTFS which removes the file size limitation (I have just done this on an external drive for exactly the same reason), but do look up online instructions for this and do it carefully.
    * if the material is not long continuous shots of over 20 minutes, switch on Scene Detect during capture; it's wise to cut material up into smaller chunks in any case as huge files become very unwieldy and handling them could slow your machine right down.

  • Oracle 9,2.0 32 bit for Solaris can not access more than 4GB?

    I am sorry to ask rather stupid question.
    I joined company which has big SUN Fire running Solaris 9 64bit version.
    It has system memory 16GB and 8 CPUs.
    I found 8GB memory reported as free. It is production box. It is heavy loaded.
    I guess Kernel parameter settings for Oracle set too low.
    I reported DBA and asked DBA to improve.
    My DBA said Oracle 32 bit version was installed and Oracle 32bit can't access more than 4GB system memory.
    Is it true that Oracle 9.2.0 32bit for Solaris can not access more than 4GB memory?
    32bit CPU and 32bit OS might have problem in access big memory.
    But I never heard Oracle 9 running on 64bit Solaris box can not access more than 4GB.
    Specially on Sparc 64bit chip and Solaris 9 64bit version.
    I searched forums and could not find good answer. I believe it is rather obvious.
    Please help me on this. I will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I was really surprised by the fact that almighty
    ORACLE can not access 4GB memory.
    So, it is true that 32bit Oracle is limited by 4GB RAM.Nope. 32bit almighty anything is limited to (max) 2^32 virtual adresses on a vmm system.
    Often there is also some split where memory is divided into system and user areas, where user (program) has e.g. 2 or 3GB. All this works regardless of amount of RAM available 0.5 or 512GB.
    Perhaps this link provides some useful info/background.

  • How, using Adobe Connect can increase the number of participants in the meeting? I need more than 25 people.

    Hi, I use licensed Adobe Connect. Earlier in the meeting could involve up to 100 people. Now only 25. How, using Adobe Connect can increase the number of participants in the meeting? I need more than 25 people.
    Thanks for your help.

    The purchasing option through adobe.com only allows up to 25 attendees. If you need more than that, you will need to purchase through a reseller. You can find one that is able to sell in your part of the world, here: Adobe Connect Partners. Just reach out to one of the Global Partners.

  • I need more than the maximum allowed 30 profiles - how do I change this?

    I need more than the maximum allowed 30 profiles - how do I change this? Once I reach 30 profiles and I try to add one - it just deletes one automatically thus only allowing a maximum of 30. Please help.

    You are talking about 30 Firefox Profiles on the same Windows Logon User Account?
    I never saw that as a limit myself. I had 53 Profiles at one time, although I haven't done that since Firefox 3.0. It was causing an extended launch time and I started using "remote" Profiles that weren't controlled by the Profile Manager and weren't in the '''profiles.ini''' file; launched by command line. Like this in the Target line for the desktop shortcut: <br />
    ''' "C:\Program Files\Firefox_4.0_zip\firefox.exe" -Profile D:\Mozilla\Active-Profiles\4.0_10-15-10-N '''

  • NEED more than 15 menu item in Context Menu ????

    Hi,
    I really need to have more than 15 menu item displayed on Context Menu. I desperately need some workaround or ideas to achieve this
    My client has invested thousands of dollar in Flex Project, he definitely need more than 15 menu item.If this project failed , client will NEVER think to invest in flex.
    Had I been  aware of this limitation before I would have thought some solution by now.This comes as a surprise to me at the last moment ,just fews days before Prod Date.
    I cant also user java Scrip heck  as my Flex application is running inside Dot net Container , I do not access to the luxury of java script
    Pls gents help me get rid of this ...PLEASE provide some ideas.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Dharmendra

    Thanks Natasha,
    I got your point  but as for as I  know grouping like Quality is not possibel in Flax Context menu. I also cant go for window style menu(file,edit) because I need them to be displyed on DataGrid right clk . I am designing a trade datagrid where in trader can see all trades and he can approve/reject etc by just right clk and  selcting proper menu item form Context Menu.
    In case of window style (acrobat.com) menu trader will have to reach to  menu instead of  getting all options on mouse right clk
    I will have to think other alternative wich provides same ease as cotext menu.(God knows what is that )
    Once again thanks for suggestion.

    Dharmendra
