Updating Macbook Pro RAM

Having just finished installing my MacBook Pro 4GB RAM (replacing the standard issue 2GB), would just like to offer a few tips that I wish I had known before starting to do this.
1) The RAM memory door is held down by three screws. It is HIGHLY recommended that you use a Phillips 00 screwdriver. The screws are made of cheap metal, and if you try with anything that doesn't fit, you end up with stripped screws, i.e. the screw metal gets distorted and even if you try again with the right screwdriver, the screw will not turn.
2) If you do happen to have one screw left that you can not get out, as a LAST option, you can try swiveling the door back and forth until the metal loosens (bends) enough so that you can rotate the door / remove the door to be able to replace the RAM. This will generally result in a messed up memory door (at the site of the stripped screw). Best that you consult Apple Store / Apple specialists before doing this "brute force" method.

Apple sells RAM, and you can have the store install it for you. It's an all or nothing arrangement, and you pay them for both the product and the installation. You can save money both on the RAM and the installation costs by DIY.
Apple does not oppose upgrading as long as they do it and sell you the RAM. They do not recommend DIY options, although they consider both as "authorized."
I don't make a recommendation with respect to memory products as all three are fine. OWC is best for the SSDs in my opinion. They guarantee Mac compatibility.
MBPs have only two slots, so you cannot increase memory to 8 GBs and also keep the other modules. You will be replacing both modules. However, you will be happy to learn that you can install two 8 GB modules for 16 GBs:
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
If you get the DataDoubler bracket from OWC you could install the HDD by replacing the optical drive. I've done this in several of my notebooks. OWC includes the required tools.

  • How to update MacBook Pro system10.6.8 to 10.7.5

    I Need to update MacBook Pro 1.1 Intel Core Duo, Memory 2 GB, speed 2 GHZ 667  MHZ Boot Ram Version.  I would like to use Turbo Tax but it apparently does not support 10.6.8.  And the printer also supports only from10.7.5 x-10.8x,10.9. I have copied all my Microsoft doc from Version 2004.  I appreciate any help you can give me.

    Sorry, but your model cannot run Lion or later. A Mac Pro 1,1 can run Lion. Maybe that's what you have confused with your MacBook Pro. Your's is an obsolete model with a Core Duo processor. Running any version of OS X requires a Core 2 Duo processor. See these following requirements.
    Upgrading to Lion
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
          1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

    Check your tones with this sounds like it's not recognizing the RAM, perhaps it's not seated well or making a bad connection or it's defective.

  • After 10.7.4 update macbook pro won't sleep

    after 10.7.4 update, macbook pro won't sleep.

    Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
    Step 1
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter ▹ Wake for network access: uncheck. You may need to unlock the preference pane by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your administrator password.
    Step 2
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Schedule… ▹ Start up or wake: uncheck
    Step 3
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Print & Scan ▹ Open Print Queue...
    Check all printers for unfinished jobs. Deal with any you find.
    Step 4
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse or trackball, and monitor, if applicable.
    Step 5
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Enter “powerd” (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Select the powerd process and click the Quit Process button in the toobar (stop-sign icon.) In the sheet that opens, click Force Quit. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. The process will be relaunched immediately.
    Step 6
    Boot in safe mode and log in. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the Mac OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
    Step 7
    Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
    Step 8
    If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
    If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

  • The update "MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0" can't be applied

    When trying to update my new Macbook Pro with Retina through Apple's software update application, I get the error:
    The update "MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0" can't be applied
    The update could not be expanded, and may have been corrupted during downloading.
    I've already went through the process twice to download this update.

    Same type of error, but getting 90% downloaded and error message that the update cannot be saved. But it then goes to the screen to apply, but with 90% only - no instructions that it will only download 90% and the rest will come during the update - not going to apply. 

  • Using 13" Macbook pro ram in a 15" macbook pro

        Hey Community I hope everyone is doing well.
    I just put my 2009 13" 2.53 ghz macbook pro ram in my new 2011 15" Macbook pro 2.0 ghz.
    I bought the 15" with 4 gb of ram so i upgraded it to 8 gb which i had in the 13".
    The 15" stock ram has four nodes on it, while the 13" ram has 8 nodes on it. However it was a great fit.
    Now my question:
    are there any longevity/performance issues i should be concerned about using this ram?
    I'm a heavy ram user in logic studio so the ram is definitely needed, i'm just wondering if i should be concerned enough to buy another 8gb's from crucial.
    Thanks!!!

    I apologize guys i didnt even specify the ram that i put in!
    The ram is 1066 ghz ddr 3 also purchased from crucial.
    The 15" takes 1333MHz. At the very minimum, you are creating a bottleneck. Buy new RAM.

  • Hi, anyone else try this firmware update: MacBook Pro SMC Firmwar

    hi there, i installed the firmware update (MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.3) which went well as usual, but now my machine is noticeably hotter when just sitting idling, which it does most of the day. I have SMC fan control installed but never needed it before this update. Is there any explanation for this? The update was supposed to change the way the fans operate, but I cant find any more info then that. Cheers!

  • Mid 2009 macbook pro ram update

    Hello!
    So I have 2 slots with 2gb of ram in each, I want to ungrade to 8gb total, can I buy 1 4gb and stack the 2 2GB on top of each other in the slot or do I have to get 2 new 4 gb things? I did the crucial thing and it gave me the option of a 2 pack of 4gb or just 1 4gb.
    Thanks!

    You need 2 x 4GB 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs. You only have two slots in your MacBook Pro and you need to fill those slots with matched sets.

  • Updating macbook pro (pro's vs con's)

    My macbook pro is 10.5 and I'm finding many things just don't work for sharing with my iMac 10.9.4.....the range between the two is just horrible.  I don't want to sell my laptop and wanted to know what is the best way of going about updating it.  I'm not sure that it will be even with my iMac but want something that is much closer.  What do you all think?

    The earliest MacBook Pro model should have no issue with an upgrade to
    at least Snow Leopard 10.6.8, then it could be used to look into further
    upgrades that involve new systems from the Mac App Store online...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    A retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD is still available online or perhaps in an
    official Apple Store, these cost about $20. to buy, then once installed, the
    next step would be to run Software Update in the booted new system to
    get the Combo update for Snow Leopard 10.6.8 v.1.1 from Apple servers.
    And then, after that's installed & running the computer see what else the
    in-system Software Updates will show.
    •How to identify MacBook Pro models
    Of course, if the computer is still running the original hard disk drive and
    also has not seen a RAM upgrade to more capacity memory chip totals,
    these two items can help an aging Mac work more like new. A replacement
    hard disk drive can be of greater storage capacity, as more internal space
    is always better than running low; and the RAM memory helps the OS X
    run better and give it resources to function while also running applications.
    You'd have to better identify the computer model and build identifier you have
    so as to closely match any upgrades of hardware and software, for exact fit.
    So, it can be done. A few reputable sources for hardware upgrade include
    macsales.com (aka OWC) and you can find the parts based on exact Mac
    product information. The need to get correct exact RAM is essential, btw.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Mac Won't Boot after Boot Camp Windows Update - Macbook Pro Mid 2010

    Hello All, and thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
    I have a Mid 2010 Macbook Pro. Last year I upgraded the RAM, then this year I decided to upgrade the hard drive to an SSD-hybrid. Everything went perfectly smoothly with both upgrades, and I was a happy camper.
    I had also installed Boot Camp with Windows 7 and everything worked perfectly. Then last night, I boot in to Windows 7 and it gives me a 'service pack update'. After installing it, I had to reboot my computer. Rebooted it and it accidently started booting OSX. No problem, I thought. I held down the power button, and booted back in to Windows. The service pack installation continued and it had me restart my computer an obscene amount of times during the installation. This is when I initially thought "this is weird".
    Finally the service pack installs, and I'm able to use Windows 7 again. Then I shut down the machine and tried to boot back into OSX. No dice.
    Here's how the OSX booting process goes:
    First, the Apple logo appears, then what appears to be a progressive loading bar at the bottom. After a few seconds, the loading bar disappears. Then it's just at the Apple booting screen with the spinning wheel/gear and sits there indefinitiely. I let it sit there for over an hour last night and nothing happened.
    Any suggestions? I tried resetting the NVRAM and the SMC.
    Thanks so much,
    dlevv

    It looks like a hard disk problem. Press Command and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair your drive

  • After Yosemite Update, Macbook Pro Frustratingly slow, along with many problems after

    My Info:
    Macbook Pro (2012)
    2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    OS X 10.10.3 (14D136)
    Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    186.54 GB free of 498.88 GB
    Until the last OS X Update (Yosemite), I have had no problems with my almost three year old MacPro.
    However, after the last update, I have so many problems with my mac, I just feel like throwing
    it out the window.
    Unfortunately, I did not have a backup prior to the update, but I backed up my photos and files, then proceeded
    to follow apple's instructions (apple support chat) to erase the HD and re-install yosemite from online. Then, I backed up my files and photos from my external drive. (I used TIME MACHINE)
    Fine in theory, but:
    1. my iphoto library was somehow lost, nowhere to ever be found again
    2. I suddenly have issues with my trackpad--the "double click" or "right" click refuses to work, I cannot drag and drop.
    3. I have java runtime error messages even upon startup, without internet connection, even though I have already deleted anything and everything java related.
    4. My safari is completely useless. Freezes even when only using one tab, must force quit every second.
    5. My computer decides by itself when to zoom in and out of a page.
    6. My apps are completely slow, I most always need to force quit them
    7. My trash has many issues-- If putting a file in the trash, it says "moving file to trash" for hours on end without ever completing the action, also, if I try emptying the trash, it's the same story.
    8. Settings. If I try to change a setting, it says "authenticating" for ever and ever without ever authenticating, and I am unable to change any settings.
    I have talked to apple many times but have not yet reached a solution.
    I have no other resolution at the moment, as I am in Taiwan for another month (My Chinese is limited and there are few, if none authentic Apple stores around)
    I have one more month on my warranty so I can *possibly* take it in to a store when I return home, but I first wanted to ask here and see if anyone else stumbled upon the same issues, or if they had solutions.
    Thank you!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
    If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

  • ITunes won't open after update; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5

    iTunes won't open after update - help, please; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5.

    i had a problem similar to yours and better yet, i have the fix for it. i downloaded maverick 4 months ago and was without itunes ever since. all itunes icon did was bounce. itunes would never open and whats more, is when i would try to update it, i would get a "thank you for downloading itunes!" page , but the download would never work. so i scoured the net for solves. nothing that worked. <4 months later> then last night i took a new approach. i decided even though maverick would not allow me to uninstall itunes, i would find a way to uninstall itunes. then i would reinstall back to 11.1.5 i was successful and heres what i did.
    step one-
    Back up your iTunes Library.itl file, found under ~/Music/iTunes
    (even tho i didnt, i only had 3 artists in there at the time. and they didnt get erased but i advise you back up just in case.)
    step two-
    download itunes 10.7 from apple. i used this link Download it from Apple here
    (i pulled the link from Aarons website (awesometast.com). you download 10.7 however you want but i used the link above and have had no issues).
    although im not sure you need to do this step ( you may be able to download 11.1.5 itunes without 10.7, i did because i was following intructions from http://awesometoast.com/downgrading-to-itunes-10-7-from-itunes-11-on-osx/
    step 3-
    open Terminal
    step 4-
    enter in these 3 commands hitting return after each line. 1st line nothing seems to happen, 2nd line nothing seems to happen and 3rd line gives you a warning and requires password to continue. when i did it, my password didnt appear as i entered it and i hit return without looking, so i entered it in again, although im not sure i had to the 2nd time.
    killall iTunes
    killall "iTunes Helper"
    sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
    step 5-
    drag off and dump the itunes icon (which now has the ? shadow in it) off your dock.
    step 6-
    install 10.7 itunes you downloaded earlier. (not sure if this part is neccesary. you may be able to just download 11.1.5 but i downloaded 10.7 because i was following Aarons steps.) itunes now works.
    step 7-
    go to apple and update to 11.1.5 itunes. install it. open it and you have itunes 11.1.5 in perfect working order. assuming you have a decent internet speed for the downloads, the whole process takes very little time.
    with those steps above, you can solve itunes just bouncing and not launching issues and also the "thank you for downloading" and nothing downloads issue. enjoy. also i would like to give a shout out to http://awesometoast.com and thank Aaron for the knowledge that enabled me to get itunes back into my life.

  • Battery Not Charging after 10.6.8 Update (Macbook Pro 13' i5 2011)

    Hi,
    I own a 4 months old Macbook Pro 13in with i5 processor. I was using it normally until yesterday, when a software update prompting for enhancements on thunderbolt drivers and some stuff regarding OS X Lion was displayed. I started the software update, let the macbook plugged in and went to sleep.
    Today I found out that my battery is not charging anymore (when plugged in, the magsafe led lights green and the energy saver displays Not Charging). I've already tried to restart SMC to no result(unplugged, waited for 15 sec, plugged again and after 5 sec turned it on).
    Basically, my macbook is now useless. I use it mainly in the college, cant have it always plugged in and my second half classes start tomorrow!
    I dont have a time machine backup.
    I dont want to open the macbook since its still under warranty. What should I do?
