Upgrade RAM on my MacBook (mid 2010)

Hi everyone,
I bought the latest generation MacBook (mid 2010) last year and now I'd like to upgrade my Ram from the defalult 2 GB (2x1GB) to 4GB (2x2GB). My question is: where can I buy my new RAM? The Apple Store is way to expensive....so I decided to buy it somewhere else.
I live in Italy and I've found this website that sells Mac-compatible RAM....what do you think of this (Kit 4 GB (2x2 GB) RAM SODDR3 1067 per MacBook/Pro Unibody)...? Another option would be buying my new RAM on other websites...such as Crucial or Kingston....what do you think? Is there anyone of you who has already done the upgrade and so can suggest me the best solution?
Thank you very much in advance to anyone who would like to help me!

Thank you very much for your reply! Another question: which type of screwdriver do I need? The TORX one?
If there's someone else who wants to add his experience in upgrading RAM, please reply to my post!

  • Upgrading Ram on Mac Pro (mid 2010) 8 Core

    I currently have 8gb ddr3 1066 and 8gb ddr3 1333 both ECC putting me at 16 gb ram. When i purchased them i didn't know there was a difference in ram. To upgrade do i need to buy x2 8gb or can i buy a single. When installing this a few years ago i learned that you couldn't just mix and match ram since i tried to add the stock 2gb ram to the open slots but my mac wouldn't turn on. Is there any advice on how i could effectively upgrade my ram by another 16 gb and does 1066 and 1333 make a difference? is ECC necessary for it to work on mac?

    ECC DIMMs are required. If you could get a non-ECC DIMM to fit, it would shut off memory error correction, one of the best features of the Mac Pro with Xeon Processor.
    Replacement DIMMs MUST have a large heatsink and Apple approved temperature sensor, because Apple reduces the airflow (based on measured temperatures) for quiet performance. Other manufacturers do not necessarily do this, and if you do not have the correct heatsinks and temperature sensors, the fans may run at full speed, or the DIMMs may die prematurely from overheating.
    You can upgrade the DIMMs on each side (group of four slots) by the each. Pairs are not required. Most DIMMs 8GB and under mix readily with others, but some do not. Try the new ones by themselves first, so that you know first whether they work at all, then whether they "play nice with others".
    You can spend the next month learning about exactly which DIMMs will and which will not work in your Mac. I do not recommend you do this for a one-off purchase. Instead, buy from a Mac-Centric Vendor who can tell YOU what DIMMs should be used in your Mac, and will stand by them:
    "It works in your Mac,
    or your money back."

  • Cracked hinged of Macbook mid-2010

    The Macbook mid-2010 has an expired warranty, both sides of the hinge has a hairline crack. I called Apple Customer Service this afternoon and said that I can have this fixed but I have to pay for it. Is it possible to just bring this to Apple then just add a little amount in exchange for say an MBA 11" 64gb? I hope Apple will consider a global recall for this product, they could at least give a free repair. Anybody with same problem?

    ok, I brought the Macbook to a Genius Bar (2hours drive), they said that they won't replace the Macbook nor give a free repair since it's out of warranty, their charging me $200+ (forgot the exact amount, maybe $280+) for the repair. It's so expensive, so I decided not to push through and the guy from the Genius Bar advised me it is not worth it to pay that amount for a small crack, he also said to use it more often and let the crack get bigger Apple might replace the whole unit for free if the crack is big enough! I hope Apple will recognize the problem so there would be a global recall or replacement of the Macbook mid-2010.
    By the way, this is the image of the crack on the right side. There's also a smaller crack on the left side.

    The startup disk may need repairing...
    Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
    From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery

  • Keyboard Backlight in Macbook mid 2010?

    Is it possible to put a backlight keyboard on my Macbook mid 2010? Recent Macbooks have keyboard backlights installed already.
    Thank you!

    No, the logic board desn't have the hardware for it. The Late 2008 2.4Ghz Aluminum Unibody was the only MacBook to have the backlit keyboard. MacBook Pros are the only other Macs to have the backlit keyboard.

  • Is my MacBook (mid 2010) with an Intel Core 2 Duo (2.4 GHZ) with 2GB of Ram going to run smoothly when I purchase OS X Lion?

    I dont know if a 2.4 GHZ Core 2 duo with 2GB of RAM and a mid 2010 model of my Macbook will run smoothly with Mac OS X Lion. Can anybody help make my decision either i should upgrade from snow leopard to lion?

    My advice... DO NOT BUY.... otherwise you will be like me... frustrated and horrified.... I am suffering .... and im the last person to be on such discussion forum... but now I am here... you may be able to guage my furstration. Snow Leapord is zillion times better than Lion... they should call it pu**y instead of lion.

  • MacBook (Mid 2010) Running Extremely Slow

    ATTENTION OWNERS OF MACBOOKS OR APPLE COMPUTERS: I have a question, my MacBook (year 2010) has not only been running slower than a turtle since I upgraded to the newest version but I now can't control my volume or brightness with my keyboard anymore.

I think I need more ram to make my computer run faster but I can't get anymore for at least a month or so, anyone have any tips? If any at all?! Thanks! #MacBook #Apple#Computers

  • My MacBook (Mid 2010) Is Running Slow..Why?

    Hi! I have a MacBook that I have had since December 2010. It hasnt really ever ran slow, unless I have a bunch of programs running. About a month or so ago, my MacBook started running extremely slow. I deleted a bunch of text documents and unwanted pictures. I have alot of pictures because I am a photographer, but I have never had a problem with alot of pictures. I dont think I have extra programs that are not needed installed. I also am having trouble with my computer freezing, and just stalling all together. I then have to use CTRL, Option (ALT), Delete to make it unlock and load what ever it is doing. Also Is there a way to delete the cookies on my Safari? I have ran the EtreCheck as well and I pasted it below. If anyone can help, it would be very appreciated.

    Not sure if an Apple store would do the RAM upgrade for you - some resellers/authorized repair shops will, but I don't think the stores do.
    This link shows you how to do the install yourself. I think you need a Phillipps #00 screwdriver - you can get that at just about any hardware stored. As long as you're gently with removing the screws & RAM, you should be fine.
    Apple notes that you can only install up to 4GB of RAM, but you can go up to 16GB.
    Crucial.com sells a 4GB upgrade kit for under $60: http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=MacBook%20(13-inch%2C%20Mid%20 2010)&Cat=RAM
    Going higher than 4GB can be very costly from what I can see, so you may want to just go to 4GB.
    Hopefully this helps.

  • Best RAM configuration for Macbook (mid 2007)

    Hi, I have a Macbook (mid 2007) with 1 GB ram and I would like to upgrade. Currently I have 2x512MB, so both of my memory slots are taken. Is it a good idea to have one 512MB card and a 2GB card in the other slot? Otherwise, what is the best RAM configuration for a mid 2007 macbook?

    Yes, I read the figure 128 in regards to the benefit. Something about interleaving, maybe?
    In doing a Google search for that article I saw, I found this:
    http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/99215-4gb-ram-my-macbook.html
    the maximum amount of RAM your laptop can take is 3.3GB. So while you can physically insert 4GB of RAM, OS X will only be able to see 3.3GB of it.
    But I don't know how knowledgeable that poster is who says it can utilize 3.3 GB. I do know that the full 4 GB shows up in the System Profiler on my MacBook Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz.

  • How do I do to upgrade my mac mini4.1 mid 2010

    I HAVE A MAC MINI 4.1 MID 2010
    with 2 GB MEMORY AND 2.4 GHZ CORE 2 DUO,
    WITH OS MAVERICK AND HAS BECOME TOO SLOW, only use to read emails and use excel

    In addtition to 8GB of RAM, I also upgraded my 2010 Mac Mini with an HGST Travelstar 7200 RPM HD and it runs Mavericks without any hesitations or problems.
    8 GB of RAM will make a big difference and replacing the stock 5400 rpm HDD with an HGST or SSD will make it even better.

  • Can't upgrade RAM on new Macbook Pros?

    I'm preparing to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have been told that the RAM that comes with the book is the RAM you get. No upgrade possible because the RAM modules are soldered into place. Is that so? I've always upgraded our computers to the max. Thanks in advance.

    That is indeed so.
    There still appears to be one model (13" Mid 2012) that is still available that has upgradable RAM.

  • How to upgrade my iMac 27-inch Mid 2010 for video editing?

    Hi there, I have an iMac 27-inch, Mid 2010 1TB that I would like to upgrade to work well with film editing (using programs like Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.)
    My System's specs:
    iMac 27 Inch Mid-2010
    - 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3
    - 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    - ATI Radeon HD 5670 512 MB
    - Last 4 Digits of the Serial Number is JDNP
    I'm quite unfamiliar with upgrading an iMac and was hoping I could find some help here regarding what is possible to upgrade on my system?  I understand that installing RAM is quite easy, but is it possible to upgrade the Processor and Graphics Card?  And what about Installing a bigger hard drive or SSD?  Also, where do I take my iMac to get these upgrades?  Apple Store?  Hopefully I'm not sounding like a complete idiot here.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    If you are not computer savvy and have never upgraded a computer before, then you need to see what Apple can do for you, but it maybe better to take your Mac to a third party Apple authorised reseller/repair center as they will be more likely to do actual modifications to your Mac. Apple stores tend to only stick with installing stock OEM Apple hardware.
    The CPU cannot be replaced or upgraded or replaced as I believe it is soldered to the logic board.
    The GPU maybe able to be upgraded, but the only other GPU option that it can be replaced with is the the 1 GB VRAM GPU version that was a GPU chip model available during the 2010 iMac model year.
    This will be hard to locate and, probably, very expensive to purchase (at least $300 U.S.D..).
    A third party Mac compatible SSD should be able to be installed, but will be expensive, too!
    Get as large an SSD as you can afford to purchase and pay for the installation.
    If you stick with a traditional hard drive, your Mac can take up to a 3 TB hard drive.
    You CAN install additional RAM yourself. However your Mac year and model will only take a total of 16 GBs of RAM.
    Correct, compatible and reliable Mac RAM can ONLY be purchased from online RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (http://www.macsales.com).

  • Is buying the MacBook mid 2010 a good investment?

    It would be my first Mac and I don't have a lot of money. On amazon I found one for 684 US dollars.

    The new Mac mini is a great computer. The hardware is much better than the Mid 2010 MacBook, it comes with OS X Mountain Lion, it can support heavy applications without any problem, and if you want to improve its hardware, you have an easy access to the Mac mini to replace the hard disk and add RAM. If you don't need to take the computer everywhere, the Mac mini is the best choice
