Ok, so i bought a 16GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM for my late 2011 13" MacBook Pro whose memory runs at 1067 MHz (I was also told that late 2011 MBPs run at 1333MHz, is mine an exception?)... Im looking for all possibilities to close the compatibility gap...

Im looking for all possibilities to close the compatibility gap because computer freezes at boot and was wondering if there was anything i could do to get this 16GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM to work at 1067MHz or somehow get my computer to run at 1333MHz?...

You don't have a late 2011 MB Pro.
You have a 2010 version. Your MB doesn't support 16GB. 8GB Max.
That's what it shows on your about this MAC.
You need to return the RAM and get 8GB ( 2 X 4GB ) 1066MHz.
Your system bus is set to 1066MHz.
You're having issues because you've installed more RAM than your MB can support. It's only reading 4GB per bank which totals to 8GB and not 16GB.

Best ram for macbook pro 2011?

I am thinking about upgrading my macbook pro 2011 with 8gb or 16gb (overkill?) of ram. Which is the best ram/bang for the buck?

I upgraded to Crucial 16 GB on my MB Pro 6 months ago and have never, ever, even once been sorry or less than amazed.
Of course, a Crucial 512 GB SSD does not hurt, either. They work together seamlessly. Nice Mac, nice Mac.
12 seconds to boot up from full Shut Down? Too cool ............................................................................... ..

PS FYI: My old Apple-supplied 500 GB hard drive is now separately enclosed and makes an excellent full backup. Using SuperDuper to clone, it is bootable albeit as a spinning disc hard drive it runs much slower. Had my old Snow Leopard system and files on it. Jumped to a clean install of Mountain Lion. Did all this myself, glad its done, whew, successfully. The Ram and the SSD are gems, like the Crucial support people.
PPS Yes, these were expensive improvements. Ouch but ... Worth it.

8GB OWC RAM for Macbook Pro 2011 13''

Can anyone vouch for OWC RAM? Is it a good brand? I want to upgrade to 8GB but got kernel panics with Crucial RAM.

OWC isn't a brand, they are a product retailer. However, their products are well known and reliable. Give them a try although you may end up with Crucial RAM as they do handle that brand.
What you really need to do is contact Crucial tech support as they have a good warranty and stand behind their products.

Hello! Help please! Best external hard drive preferably 1TB for macbook pro 2011. thank you!!!

Hello! Help please! Best external hard drive preferably 1TB for macbook pro 2011. thank you!!!

You can pickup any 1TB USB powered drive for about $100 at just about any local office supply store.
It comes formatted FAT32 (MSDOS) for reading by OS X and Windows PC's.
However if your files sizes are going to be larger than 4GB in size (like video tends to be) then your going to need to select the drive in OS X's Disk utility (in the Applicaitons > Utilities folder) and format the drive exFAT instead.
exFAT is a drive format that 10.6.5 and later Mac's, Windows Vista and 7 machines can read just fine. XP machines need a free exFAT drive install from Microsoft.
Do backup the 1TB to another 1TB drive using Carbon Copy Cloner or another backkup utility because 1TB is a lot of data to lose on a $100 drive.
I don't advise the "port powered" USB drive as these tend to have power issues and with 1TB of data on it, very risky. Use a powered drive if you can all help it.

MAXIMUM RAM for MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo Mid 2010

What is the MAXIMUM RAM for MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mid 2010 - 24MC374LL/A, running OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)?
I tried to search for this but was unable to find anything.
Apple Specs say 8GB, but I was just told by someone I THINK would know, that you can actually go up to 16GB.
This would be an enormous improvement to my workflow if true.
Anyone out there know for certain?
Making sure before I buy (or NOT!)
Thanks.

I just found this post and I realize this is a late response but maybe it will help others.
Based on recent circumstances I just happened to have two 8GB DDR3 modules collecting dust. Having an old trusty MacMini as my media center, server among other things and whatnot, I was curious if I could bump this little thing to 16GB. In doing so I found this post and verified with OWC.
End result:
Booted with no issues, and is running nice and smooth. Should be noted that just adding 16GB of RAM to a Core 2 Duo will not make the machine lightning fast or become some amazing computing platform. It will just make the box run a bit quicker and give you the ability to have more applications open before you begin to note some lag.
However this is really nice to see:

Offline Installer for Macbook Air 2011 & Mac Mini 2011

I understand that Macbook Air 2011 and Mac Mini 2011 uses a pre-installed OS X Lion with a different build number (11A2063).
However, it seems that with 10.7.2 , there is only 1 build number: 11C74 , as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1633 , does it mean that 10.7.2 is a unified version of the OS X Lion for all mac products?
Therefore, would it be possible to purchase & download the Lion Installer from Mac App Store , extract the InstallESD.dmg and use it as a offline Lion installer for Macbook Air 2011 / Mac mini 2011?
P.S. I am seeking an offline solution because the recovery partition has been damaged, the internet recovery doesn't work (error 3403F & 4403F), and the recovery disk I have created with http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1433 showed an error "could not find installation information for this machine". And the Apple Authorized Service Providers are charging $150 for a simple restoration of the recovery partition.

"does it mean that 10.7.2 is a unified version of the OS X Lion for all mac products?"
Yes.
"Therefore, would it be possible to purchase & download the Lion Installer from Mac App Store , extract the InstallESD.dmg and use it as a offline Lion installer for Macbook Air 2011 / Mac mini 2011?"
I don't believe there is a 10.7.2 stand alone installer. 10.7.2 is an update file.

Problems upgrading RAM for Macbook Pro 13" late 2011

First, thank you all for your assistance.
I don't know if this has happened to anyone yet. I have a 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro that came with a default 4 GB of RAM. I considered upgrading to 8 GB and problems arose: I had stripes 1 inch in lenght distributed across the screen. I've done some research and saw that it was a hardware problem with the Graphics Card/GPU. I switched back to the original 4 GB and so far so good, no problems. I did notice a few key things:
Originally I have 384 MB of Video Ram in the GPU
While using the 8 GB Ram upgrade, it said 512 (called my attention)
It reverted to 384 when switching to the original RAM
In the tech specs section of Apple Support site about my machine, it says that the Video RAM is "shared" with main memory. No other knowledge on that.
Could the RAM upgrade affected the memory supported by the GPU? Why did it increase? Is there any solution to this?
Thanks to everybody in advance.

It should - I've 16GB of RAM installed in my late 2011 15" and my built-in card now shows 512MB of VRAM. There might have been a problem with the RAM you installed. I would only buy Crucial, Kingston (not the 'value' brand), OWC or Corsair (again, not the 'value' brand).
Some RAM sellers simply have less than stellar performance using Macs. Make sure that you install the correct speed and specs as recommended by Apple.
Good luck,
Clinton

Ram upgrade for macbook pro 2011

Hi people, i have a 2011 macbook pro with 4GB RAM ; i7 quadcore processor. I am planning to upgrade the RAM. I dont really need it because I do not play games anymore neither do I do any video or photo editing, i just use it with xcode mainly. But my question is not whether i need it or not ! I need someone who has done this before to tell me the differences they noticed after the installation. Was there a big difference, small difference, and what was it. I know what more RAM will do. I just need to know if there is a big difference or not from 4 to 8 specificall for the macbook pro 2011. I am running Lion by the way. If someone could suggest some websites were i can buy the RAM at cheapest price that would be splendid. Thanks !!

I've bumped my ram up to 8 GB. However, I did that because I used programs like Photoshop and usually have five or more application running at the same time. If what you say is your MBP usage leave it alone you don't need it.

The Retina display models cannot have the ram upgraded post purchase...the ram modules are soldered to the logic board.

Try to boot in Safe mode, see if you are able: Hold down shift and then power on. For wireless keyboards, hold down shift after the chime.

How much ram will a late 2011 mac book pro 17inch upgrade?

a 1333 MHz DDR3 memory module.
i want to upgrade to the maximum the RAM i have. I want to know what kind of RAM card could I get someone in this community to reccomend.
thank you very much

One reason I favor OWC is that if you call them up and tell them that their RAM is malfunctioning, replacements are sent out that day, not when they get the bad RAM from you.There are a couple of forum colleagues who use Corsair RAM with no problems. Macs seem to be very selective about RAM and some brands simply do not work properly in Macs. OWC and Crucial have good track records, hence the recommendations.
I often grin when someone complains about an inexpensive or bargain part does not perform well in a Mac. When one pays a premium price for a computer, I would think that quality should come before price for any add-ons or modifications. It is like purchasing a Ferrari and then using regular gas.
If your replacement Corsair RAM is working, you should be just fine. One bad experience should not condemn a manufacturer or vendor.
Ciao.

SSD setup for Macbook Pro 2011....confused!

Hi guys
I have just got a Macbook Pro from 2011. (after being a lifelong pc user).
I want to upgrade the hard drives. Would it be better to get a 256 SSD for OS and programs as the main drive, and a larger SSD or HDD as a second drive in place of the cd drive. Or to get one of these new 1tb SSD's and put everything on it. As its SSD would it make a difference in performance to have one big one for everything?
Also, Im struggling with choosing a brand. I seem to be stuck between Samsung and Crucial, mainly the Samsung 840 EVO 1tb vs the Crucial m550 1TB. I have read some things saying that there are problems with the 840 evo on macbooks from 2011, but have read in other places that the 840 evo is better than the crucial.....so confusing!!
If anyone can shed some light on this I will be very grateful!!
Alex

robodelfy,
I've been using Crucial SSDs since I purchased my last MacBook Pro in 2012. I currently have a M500 960GB Crucial SSD in my machine and three Crucial SSDs in a Windows machine. Never had a problem with it.
Although the Samsung 850 Pro is the fastest drive available to consumers, your computer won't be able to take advantage of all that bandwidth. If I were you, I would look at the Crucial M550 1024GB SSD or the Samsung 840 EVO 1024GB SSD. There were some problems with the earlier releases of the EVO drive but I believe that they have been fixed now.
Good luck,
Clinton

Macbook late 2011. Starts up when I charge.

Hi all,
With my MacBook Pro late 2011 already shut down, whenever I plug in the charger, it starts up. The same also happens if the Macbook is in sleep mode.
The fans run and it gets hot.
If I plug it in before shutting down, it is ok.
It only started doing this a few months ago after updating OS X.
I have tried a SMC reset for Late 2011 MacBook, but this is hard to do given that plugging the cable in automatically causes the Mac to start up! I also tried to Shift Control Option to no avail. I have reset the PRAM, nothing helped there either.
If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.
