Trying to upgrade RAM from 8GB to 16GB
I purchased a brand new HP:
»HP Pavilion 17-f022ds Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR)
It has 8GB RAM and im trying to upgrade to 16. Its a 64bit operating system so I know it can be and you can also purchase this laptop with 16GB of RAM. My issue is that there is no RAM cover on the bottom of the laptop like normal HP's ive owned before. Whats up with this? Im a soldier and about to deploy again and im just trying to have a faster laptop and no one has been able to help me. I would have bought the 16GB Ram laptop if I saw it at the time I bought mine.
Based on the HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service Guide for your computer, there may only be one SODIMM slot and it may only support up to 8GB of RAM. It is also possible that the SODIMM slot(s) are not user accessible.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

I have a Satellite L675D S7016. It says I can put 8GB in. I had 4GB (2x2) DDR3 10600. I got 2x4GB and put them in and system would not boot windows 7. The Bios says I had 8GB. So I put old ram back in and everything worked fine. then I changed the top slot with a new 4GB and it worked. I swapped it to the bottom slot and it did not work. I have 6GB in now. Why can't I put both 4GB sticks in?

It's an old story. If you search the forums here, you'll find similar problems mentioned often. Because Toshiba machines are sensitive to specs, modules are often incompatible. Unless you buy the memory from Toshiba or the best memory made by Kingston, it's a crap shoot. Usually they are compatible, but sometimes they are a bit out of spec.

Upgraded RAM from 4GB to 16GB in MBP late 2011
I just installed Crucial 16GB of RAM about 20 minutes ago and my computer is very zippy now with no problems... Looks like the 2 x 8GB were accepted. I have been reading up on people doing these tests after they installed their RAM. Do I have to worry about that since I have no problems? Should I be doing these tests as well or can I just leave it alone since everything seems to be working fast and really well.
Thanks in advance!The good thing is Crucial has a lifetime guarantee.
Yes RAM prices do fluctuate year to year depending on the supply and demand.
I recommend hanging onto the factory RAM incase you have to fall back at anytime. There would be no down time if you have the old back up RAM on hand. -
Is their any other Processor better then a 2.9GHZ Intel Core i7 that i could look into. I'm looking to make the computer faster & already upgraded the Ram from 8GB to 16GB and i'm really not noticing any difference actually it seems to be the same as it was before. Any help with this?
You will only notice a performance improvement if you haven't got enough RAM to use the applications you need. If you had a lot of free RAM before, you won't notice any difference now.
If you already have your computer, you can only replace the processor if you replace the logic board. Your computer requires a specific logic board, so you shouldn't replace it and you have to stay with the same processor. Apart from RAM, the only part you can upgrade is the hard drive. What will make an improvement is a SSD drive, if you haven't got one -
I have brought a 17'' MacBook Pro 2.5ghz core 2 duo 2gb. Model A1261. It seems I can upgrade to either 8gb or 16gb ram! But since It's 2006'ish, I just want some advice on the best ram that would work for a good price. Thanks :)

8 gb will do I guess
Based on the information that you have supplied, you have a Early or Late 2008 MBP. Maximum RAM that it will accept is 6 GB with the following specifications: 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.
The best sources for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.

Please help! I have a Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.8 13" Late 2011. i want to upgrade its RAM from 4GB to 16GB. But OWC sells two kinds of RAM, the DDR3 and the DDR3L.What is the different and which one would work better for my mac. Thanks!!!
I don't see any DDR3L on the page for the RAM that would fit your model -> http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_133 3MHz_SDRAM.
But the answer is that it doesn't really matter - just make certain to get 1333MHz.
Good luck,

Upgrading latest iMac 27" 5K retina from 8Gb to 16Gb
Can anyone tell me the right memory modules to buy to uprgade the latest (mid 2015) iMac Retina 5K from 8Gb to 16Gb total memory ? I presume it currently has 2 x 4Gb modules. So presumably I need to replace them with 2 x 8Gb modules ? ....but I am not sure which type or model. Is there a memory module known to work flawlessly with it ?? ....and the approx.cost in the UK ?? Thanks
Hello Chris,
Thanks for contacting us . This system has four slots for RAM, so you can leave the existing and add the 16GB kit (2-8GB modules). This would be the best for the long term. The 16GB kit we are recommending can be found here:

Exchange ipod from 8GB to 16GB
Can I Exchange my ipod Touch from 8GB to 16GB in the Bluewater Apple store, what is their return policy for this, would I be allowed? I have opened and used it a few times, I also still have both the plastic seals on it
No. The Apple Store (and all retailers I know of, including Best Buy) have a strict policy on Apple products. If it has a problem they will bend over backwards to make it good, even tossing out the need for a sales receipt, but if you just "don't like it" and want to upgrade then you can expect a restocking fee at the Apple Store and a firm "No" from retailers like Best Buy.

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

Trying to upgrade RAM on Macbook Pro 15" (Mid-2010).
Hi I have a Macbook Pro 6,2 (Mid 2010 / 15-inch) with an intel core i7 processor 2.66GHz, and I recently tried to upgrade my 4GB RAM to an 8GB RAM, after making sure online and from the tech specs that my computer can handle 8GB. Whenever I startup after installing the 8GB it stays stuck at the Apple logo startup screen, but when I put my old 4GB RAM back in it starts up normally, anyone know why?

Since it works when you use Apple's RAM, the problem is most likely the RAM you were sold. Unfortunately, all RAM isn't created equal so the vendor is an important part of the equation, both selling RAM that actually works with Macs and standing behind their product when it doesn't. This vendor does both.
See if you can get your money back. -
HP G71-441NR Laptop, can I upgrade ram to 8gb?
Hi all,I have an slightly older HP laptop, an HP-G71-441NR.It's running Windows 7, 64 bit os, with 4gb of ram.The ram is 2x 2gb SODIMM DDR2 800mhz. My question is, can I upgrade it to 8gb of ram?And if so do I need to stick with the same stuff or Could I upgrade to DDR3?I cannot find an 8gb ram upgrade which states it's specifically for this model online,so rather than guess I figured I would just ask.I can find 2 sticks of the same stuff in an 8gb setup, but if it wont work with my computer I dont want to have the hassle of buying trying and returning if it's not going to work anyhow. Thanks in advance!
That is correct.
The dv6000's with the nVidia chipset and the AMD Turion processors can only take a max of 2 x 2 GB of memory no matter what. I tested 2 x 4b chips in my dv6810us with the nVidia chipset and Turion processor and the PC would not boot.
I think that more than likely, 4 GB DDR2 memory modules were not available to test when the dv6700's came out, so HP kept the max at 2 x 2 GB for all of their dv6000 PC's--even the ones with the Mobile Intel 965 chipsets.
I also have a HP 8200 Elite CMT desktop PC. HP specs state max memory is 4 x 4 GB of PC3-10600 memory, but some guy just installed 4 x 8 GB of PC3-10600 memory for 32 GB.
Probably again because no 8 GB chips were available for testing. The chipset in my desktop supports 32 GB of memory, so I assume that is why it worked.
I may wait to see if the price for 8 GB memory chips comes down a little more. Currently, you can get 2 x 8 GB for around $100.

I am trying to upgrade iPhoto from a .dmg file ???
I am trying to upgrade iPhoto 9.4.2 to 9.4.3 on a Mac Mini with Mountain Lion. When I run the iPhoto9.4.3Update.dmg file, I get the alert:
The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available.
When I close the alert, it shuts down the update.
Since at our location our only option to get on the internet is via a 3G modem with a data cap of 5 GB per month, we take a laptop into the local library, hop on their wifi, and download dmg files for large upgrades like iPhoto (in this case, 766 MB). This has always worked before - what is different here?
Since we were near the end of our data month and still had a GB left, I then tried the software update route from the Apple menu on the Mac mini. It started downloading the 9.4.3 update which was only 177 MB. 2 hours later it had just finished the download and suddenly continued onto another download (still in the iPhoto upgrade) of a 1.2 GB file. So I aborted. So my 2nd question is what was happening here.
And my 3rd question is what to do next?Evidently there was more than one update listed for your Mini. Next time launch the App Store app in your Applications folder and log in with the Apple ID used to purchase your Mini. Click on the Updates folder and look for available updates. There you can select one at a time for installation.
Look in the Download folder in your Home folder to see if the 9.4.3 update is there.

Trying to upgrade OS from 3.1.3 to 4.0.2 but itunes failing me! :-(
I am trying to upgrade the OS on my iPhone from 3.1.3 to 4.0.2 using itunes (9.1.1). When I connect my iPhone and click update I get a message telling me the version of itunes is the current version. My iphone is connect, I am on iPhone sync page and all the other information on the page relates to my iPhone.
Can anyone out there give me any advice or help?Not to be a wiseguy. But DON'T do it. I, like many (most?), have had numerous problems and performance issues with my 3GS since the upgrade to 4. The new features you may gain are not worth it...At this point. Multitasking, Camera zoom etc..Not a fair trade for losing like 30-40% battery life and reception. I upgraded and the first day or two it was kind of neat..But it has gotten worse and worse. And if you decide the same...You cannot go back. With a 3G you can...But not with a 3GS. I would at least wait till 4.1 comes out next week.
