Ram Upgrade Issues: Mid 2009 Macbook Pro 2.53GHz

I recently upgraded my Macbook Pro RAM from the native 4G (2x2G modules) to 8Gb (2x4G modules). Restarting didn't seem to create any issues, everythig was zipping along, and all appeared well. A few minutes into basic navigating the screen dimmed and I was prompted to restart?! I restarted and all seemed well again. BUT, when I opened my browser (didn't matter which one) it would prompt me sixty seconds later that the application "crashed" and I needed to restart it (I-photo, I-tunes, etc. - didn't matter) NEXT UP - I would get get kicked out of applications that I had to Log into (Gmail, on-line banking, etc.) Each time the screen would dim like a shade was being pulled and I would be prompted to restart?! I replaced the 2 - 2G modules and all is well again. The memory was purchased from a reputable vendor and the specs. were all matched. ****I have not had the opportunity to run any Apple Hardware tests yet - I was hoping that maybe someone else had similar issues?! Any ideas and info. are greatly appreciated!!!!!!
Currently running Lion (unhappily... - but at least the 8G made the rainbow wheel spin faster!!)
Thanks!

try a PRAM reset next time you install the memory.
also make sure your system sees it. simply go to  upper left corner, about this mac. it'll tell you how much ram your computer is reading.
Contact that vendor about your issue.

Increase RAM + SSD in mid 2009 macbook pro ?

Hi
I want to boost the performance of my macbook pro which i bought in summer 2009. I use it mainly for video editing nowadays and some after effects work.
On checking the diagnostics.
my macbook hardrive shows : Seria ATA
Link Speed:          3 Gigabit
Negotiated Link Speed:          1.5 Gigabit
Which SSD will be best suited for a change ?
And my RAM is :
Size:          2 GB
Type:          DDR3
Speed:          1067 MHz
Can I install 16 Gigs of RAM in the 2 slots. Like 8 *2 sticks each? I searched on Newegg and coudnt finad any 1067Mhz Laptop RAM , does the speeds have to match exactly?
Please suggest
Thanks !

You can go up to 8GB of 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM RAM, but not 16GB. Check out the Crucial website and use the System Scanner tab to determine which kit is right for you.
You can also check out SSDs at the Crucial site - they have 3Gbps SSDs as well as 6Gbps. You're only going to be able to achieve a 3Gbps speed, but that doesn't mean you can't install a 6Gbps SSD (which I would do if you plan on upgrading your MBP in the future).
Good luck,

RAM Upgrade for Mid-2010 MacBook Pro?

I have a mid-2010 15 inchMacBook Pro with 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 4 GB of RAM. I've put OSX Mavericks on it, and it's painfully slow. I reaize it was probably a mistake to upgrade to Mavericks on an older machine. I'm too lazy to roll back the operating system but was wondering if upgrading the RAM might help. Appreciate thoughts on this. Also, how much RAM can go into this machine?

melophage has a 2010. so i would think that he's had some experience.
I have a 2011 MBP so my specs are probably different, however, mine was set max at 8g. I did some researching and found that my particular model can accept 16g. some could not, and there was a lot of anxiety that I had, in making that jump LOL. But like whywutt, I went to crucial and got their confirmation on my model. I got the type they indicated, which abrody is very adept, if you get it wrong, it can cause complications.
further some did and it didn't work. and it may not work for your model. but doing the research is what had me going, dipping into some forums, doing some reading. not relying on just a post. going to crucial, making the double checks, helped me correct a potential error I almost made during ordering.
i broke a sweat putting them in and powering up. its worked. and i had a few little glitchy things here and there. but with some updates, some recognition of the memory heavies. my basic issue is rising heat. but for regular programs, i can use the machine with similar speed to my thought process, which is very scary. lol
however, i rock with 16g. LOL. I wouldn't want to gloat if you cannot upgrade to 16g but if you couldn't, and you really want maverick, popping up to a late 2011 might be an upgrade choice, since there's hard cut offs by year on older models, which I absolutely despise that issue with manufacturers. but the 2011 has graphics, like others above say. so really part is the memory. the other part is graphics. duo to quad etc. etc.
but do more asking. search on your unit. see what your options are. and you are doing that. that's a great step.
i prefer maverick, hate the name, lost some things that I loved. but overall, iOS compatibility.....
and you know on my older mac, i have a 2009/2010 white case, and yah, it didn't reach the speeds and processing that I personally required, and always had glitches, and funky electronic cul-de-sacs in working the machine. mainly when you start wanting to do things like run parellels and windows, or you have a project and you need this plus that, but you are misisng a component. i don't have those issues now. not nearly as much LOL.
but I lost all my old adobe apps. adobe totally cut me off. not interested in moving forward with adobe for the buy in and live comfortably without it.
so there are some things that i mull through and remember, when I was in your chair, making similar comparisons in what to do and how to do it, and modifying my machine. i upgraded. i'm glad i made the jump. but if you can't, there's probably some work arounds to assist you living with what you have and that's not a bad thing. i did want to live with what I had. anyways. good luck.

Upgrading RAM in Mid 2009 MacBook Pro.

I currently have the standard 4gig of RAM in my Mid 2009 MacBook Pro and would like to up upgrade to 8 or 12gig. Apple states max is 8gig but I have a friend who quadroupled the RAM (way beyond what apple state is the max) in his machine and hasn't had any problems. I remember some time ago with Windows Vista (or was it XP?)
2 questions...
1) RAM from Apple is very expensive, are cheaper alternatives just as good or worth the risk? If so, could someone point me in the direction of a cheaper alternative?
2) What is the max amount of RAM I can put in to my machine? I remember some time ago with Windows Vista (or was it XP?) that the OS could only actually utilise a certain amount of RAM so installing any more than this was a false economy. Could this also be the case with Mac OS X?

Go here, all your questions will be answerd. Good, reliable source. Complete instructions:

Adding ram to mid-2009 Macbook Pro - 4gb vs 8gb?

I want to add ram to my mid-2009 Macbook Pro. It currently has 2gb ram. Any thoughts of whether I should upgrade 4gb or 8gb ram? It has a 2.26ghz intel core 2 processor. I only use the computer for internet and the occasional document editing.

If your needs are that modest, then 4 GB is fine. However, Mavericks is designed to use as much RAM as is available, and so more RAM is always better.
If I were you, I would put 4GB of RAM in, and then buy an SSD to replace the hard drive. You will be surprised how much faster it will be! It's the best way to extend the useful life of a older Mac.

My Mid 2009 Macbook pro (Just purchased) will not turn on after hard drive change and ram upgrade

So i purchased a mid 2009 Macbook Pro from a guy with 4 gb of ram and 250gb hard drive. It worked perfectly fine when i booted it with his hard drive and ram installed.
I spilled beer in my old computer (late 2009 15" 500gb hard drive and 8gb ram) but took the hard drive to get tested and it worked fine. i later found out it was from a 2010.
Like an idiot i assumed the pro i just purchased would be able to handle the same upgrades that were in my old computer so i threw in the 500gb hard drive (2010) and the 8gb of ram.
The thing booted up fine, just a bit slow which i chalked up to my hard drive sitting unplugged for a long time.
After about 3 minutes it crashed on me. Confused i replaced the 4gb of original ram back into it. (the 8gb ram was pny i bought from ebay so i thought it could be that) It decided not to turn on or show any lights on the front except for the battery meter.
After this i replaced the original hard drive and still NO LUCK!! im really mad because i am in desperate need of the information on my original 500gb hard drive and im afraid i have destroyed 2 computers and about $1K worth of cash out the window.
HELP please enlighten me on what i have done and if the situation can be fixed.

UPDATE: Problem solved with the old hard drive in it, Now the less pressing issue:
Will the computer run my 500gb hard drive with all my information on it? I need to forward a resume and it is on that hard drive.

Upgrading Ram on mid 2009 MacBook Pro.

I have a mid 2009 Macbook pro. I currently have 2g of ram and am going to upgrade to 8g. What will i notice a difference in after installing the ram? If you need any info please let me know.
Thanks,

It depends. I would say you would definitely have a better user experience with 4gb as I see you are running Lion. However, 8gb may be unnecessary. See if you would even benefit from more ram:http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/answers/how_to_tell_if_your_mac_needs_more_ram/

I am having problems rebooting my mid 2009 macbook pro (grey screen other issues), need help!

I am having problems rebooting, I have experienced the same problem as others with the grey screen but my case is a little different, It started with my mid 2009 macbook pro acting a little slower than normal, the screen would freeze, mouse wouldnt move and i'd be forced to "force reboot" this went on for a couple of days until i was tinkering with the wifi connection and it froze again. I had to reboot and this time i noticed that it took a long time to get to the login screen. i put in my password and it went into infinite load (i also tried the guest account and other accounts with same result). i tried rebooting again and the same thing would happen. after several reboots, the screen just stayed grey, sometimes with the apple logo and gear sometimes without it. Since its a 2009, (and for the most part, still works like a champ) i decided test the ram, i took one stick of ram out at a time to see if i could notice anything wrong with them. when i stuck just one in, the mac was still having the same problem rebooting. i pulled that ram and and stuck in the other and i noticed that this time the apple logo never appeard and a big crossed out circle appeared. figuring that the ram must be the problem, i ordered new ram and installed it. i noticed that when i rebooted for the first time with the new ram it was rather quick and took me straight to the login screen and i was able to log in with no problem. at this point i thought the problem was solved, but i noticed the macbook still acting funny. at first, none of my files appeared on my desktop or in the finder window. after about 20 minutes, everything magically popped up. i also noticed long pauses/freezes with the colored pin wheel spinnig. i closed the laptop and opened it again and the screen just stayed black. i tried rebooting again, and again i got the grey screen with no signs of being able to log in... i waited about 20 minutes and tried to reboot again and again i was able to log in, however the macbook is still acting slow and will freeze with no signs of unfreezing without a reboot.
my macbook is 5 years old and has plenty of miles on it, so i understand if the thing needs to be replaced alltogether but does anyone know what could be the issue? could the bad ram have corrupted the hard drive in anyway? would re-installing the OS fix it?? and if so, how would i do that if i downloaded mavericks from the app store? are there any other solutions to this problem?
all my files and what not are backed up on an external HD so theres nothing on it that i'd miss desperately if i had to whipe the hard drive but id really like to get her working again without any whiping of the HD. if anyone can help me out, it'd be greatly appreciated

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install a 64-bit Windows 7 or Vista version in your Mac. Make sure you downloaded these drivers > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1630 Also, if you have the Snow Leopard DVD you used to upgrade your Mac or the OS X DVD that came with your Mac, you can use it to install the Boot Camp drivers

Can I upgrade the HD on my mid 2009 macbook pro 13" to a SSD higher than 256gb?

I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro 13". I use it every day for school since september of 2009. I have a HUGE iTunes library (around 150gb) and I use DAW software to create music. I'm looking to upgrade from my current 250GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive to a larger SSD. I want to do this for the speed of an SSD and I need more hard drive space. Is there anyway to upgrade my macbook to a SSD in the ballpark of 500GB-1TB?? On Apple's technical spesifications it says I cannot upgrade to an SDD with more than 256GB. Is this really true or is there any way around this?
Thanks in advance!

The tech specs list the upgrades that were available from Apple when that model was being sold new. They don't necessarily reflect the aftermarket-upgradabaility. I don't believe there'd be any reason you couldn't put a hard drive/SSD of whatever capacity you want in that MBP (of course it needs to be the right physical size).
That being said, it's good practice to make sure you have a window to return it just in case.
Yeah what Bob said.

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.

Is upgrading my mid 2009 MacBook ram

I was wondering if upgrading my mid 2009 macbook from 2gb to 4gb would cause a noticeable speed boost. I use my mac for average stuff like surfin safari, itunes and general word processing, and i have noticed when i have multiple apps running it starts to slow down and in one case i have checked activity monitor to see that only 100mb of the 1.75gb of system memory was free. and as i am writing this i have itunes, xtorrent, safari, and system monitor running and it report that only 420mb of system memory is free
also if it is a good idea what brand ram is best my local microcenter has 2 different 4gb kits, also i dont want to go through an internet site due to fear of ram being damaged during shupping (past experince)

I would go with the Crucial memory kit. That's the only brand name I have ever purchased, and their RAM always works. If you have troubles with either module, you can send them back to Crucial for an exchange.

My mid-2009 MacBook Pro's hard drive is near death. I want to install a new SSD and work from scratch. Please help.

Recently, my mid-2009 MacBook Pro has been crashing when I close the screen ("it's having a problem recognizing when the screen is closed/open and deciding what to do, error overload etc."). It wasn't an SMC issue so I took it to an Apple Store, ran some tests, and decided my hard-drive is failing.
Not wanting to spend an insane amount of money on some "official apple hard-drive," I want to install a new 256GB SSD instead. Hoping to squeeze as much life out of this computer as possible (in January I upgraded from 4 GB RAM to 8 GB), I would like to try and start from scratch, i.e. back-up important folders, music, photos etc. and only take that to the new hard-drive. If someone could explain all the steps I need to take to safely complete this task (or point me in the direction of a guide) I'd appreciate it.
Potentially Important info:
     Model:                mid-2009 13'' MacBook Pro
     Processor:          2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
     Memory:             4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
     Software:            OS X 10.8.4
Some additional questions I have...
     Should I be concerned with making a fully bootable back-up (not sure what that is called) as well? If so, what program should I use to create it?
     How much more life should I try and push out of this computer? I'm an engineering student and really only use it for web-surfing, music, and
          word-processing. The batter was replaced in March, the RAM was upgraded to 8 GB in January. When the battery was swapped, the trackpad went           nuts so that's new too. Only other issues are a slightly loose audio jack and the left side of the screen being slightly wobbly (hinge is worn I'm told).

Well there is no "official Apple HD / SSD" in any regard, no worries there.
If as you say youre only using same for surfing and word processing, why the need for a SSD? You would not notice any speed diff. in use on either of those,....in boot times yes, but in word or surfing, not.
You can push it likely a few more years, for mere surfing and word processing,...many many years.   Up TO the point that any major fixes become unrealistic relative to getting a new(ER) machine.
Concerned with a boot clone? yes and no. Its an ideal immediate recovery, since you cannot boot from Time Machine, ....in case of HD crash, recovery takes seconds from boot, or 20 mins or so from removing old and installing a clone. All the prosumers and pros have at least one updated clone of their prime machines.
You can do a "fresh install" if you choose, however if your current drive is FINE, why not merely clone it and save yourself some headache?...., but that is your prerogative of course.    Ideally 2 drives, one to backup your data (you need that regardless of installing a new drive for sake of a backup/archive,...ideally 2 actually, not merely one).
You could clone internal to NEW SSD/HD , ...then offload unnecessary files to an external to free up space and clutter and run off the clone, and this would only take a couple hours......the clone itself takes approx. 40+ mins.
CLONE Apps :
Superduper does not clone the recovery partition, but that is NOT necessary if you keep the original HD as a “backup clone”. Most don’t bother with the recovery partition in a clone, however that is your prerogative.

I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro 5,3 Unibody that won't run anything past Leopard.

I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro 5,3 Unibody that suffered a minor liquid spill. After waiting for it to dry out, we found that it powers up (but the display doesn't work unless connected to an external monitor) just fine. For several months it worked like a tank running Snow Leopard. I upgraded to Lion with no problems. Once the 10.7.1 update came out, it completely flipped out and wouldn't finish the install. I was forced to take it all the way back to Leopard and now it won't upgrade past Leopard. I replaced the hard drive completely and tried a fresh install of Lion using the thumb drive and that didn't work either. I got the set of errors you will find below. (Sorry, I don't know how to hide them like you can in some forums.) Any ideas or suggestions on why it won't install Lion would be great. I'm not so concerned about the display as wondering why it worked for 4 months and then another month on Lion and then suddenly flipped out on me. I'm not knowledgeable enough to decipher the message below.

Might have a hardware issue that was caused by the minor liquid spill.
Take it to Apple to have them look at it. I think they do a free diagnostics. That way you can find out what's wrong with your MB.
Good luck....Hope you get it sorted out.

Lion login screen problems on Mid 2009 MacBook Pro

After upgrading my wife's Mid 2009 MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Lion we are seeing weird behavior on the login screen after the computer wakes from sleep mode.
The screen is only partially drawn (usually the top left 1/4 of the screen), and the grey background is shown instead of her desktop background picture. When you move the mouse around on the screen, it repaints blocks on the screen where the pointer has been.
This only seems to happen when the machine sleeps for a long period of time, e.g., overnight. When it just sleeps for a little while we don't see the issue.
When searching the forums for anyone else with the problem, several folks said that there was an issue with the video drivers for the 9400M card and recommended switching to the 9600M GT, but her machine only has the 9400M in it.
All other aspects of the system work fine.
Anyone else seeing this? Any clues?

Surprised there hasn't been anyone else experiencing this issue.
I have seen this on 2 new MBP 2.3mhz i5's with the Intel HD 3000 384mb graphics, Lion 10.7.3 & 10.7.4.
Also with the latest Lion firmware for the late 2011 MBP's that addresses compatibility and stability issues.
Hopefully there is a fix soon because the painting on my locked screen to login is getting annoying
