Upgraded to 2x 8gb ram and registered 12gb only on my envy ultrbook 4

Just change the old 4gb ram with 2x of 8gb ram and only 12 gb ram registered.

Manual says this:
Supports up to 16384-GB of system RAM

It is likely an issue of compatibility. Please provide whatever identification by part number that is on the old modules and the new ones and we can try to track it down.

i recently received a mac book air 11 inch for christmas ... i beliehve it was bought in the states from my father i was unaware of the specs until i opened and read it... and i was wondering if i can still do the upgrade to 8gb ram and bigger flash drive.. is this possible and for how much? its only a week old.

Your 14 days are up, however you could take your case to Apple Inc. regarding same,
however those are the stipulations.
RAM cannot be upgraded however, period, its permanent on the logic board after mfg.
As for the SSD (solid state drive), upgrading same is a bad premise 9 times out of 10.
No notebooks is a mass storage device, and you need an external HD for data redundancy and backups regardless.
data that is static on your SSD and not used very often has no logical reason to be ON the notebooks, and best saved on a superslim external HD ($60)
SSD are very expensive, even a small one, HD are cheap as dirt and users are recommended to have one regardless for many good reasons.

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit ? And office pro 2013 64 bit too?

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows programs I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit or just install 32 bit? (Going with Win7 as I hate Win8). And I will install Office Pro 2013 64 bit too or 32 bit or is that automatically selected by the underlying OS (I use Word, Excel and Access mainly for a membership database of a local club) ? I am not a power user so would appreciate advice on way to go

Again thank you. If I only use word, excel and access in the Win environment and Mac OS for email and safari for internet do I need anti virus software . Ie my connection to the world is mac only and I use office pro only to ruin the club, newsletters, membership database etc. and of course anything I do there can drag/drop to the mac environ to email. That's my understanding anyway. Next will my existing .pst file copy directly into mac mail or do I have to runs translator as I recall reading something about that ages ago when I started thinking Mac

I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 1T hdd 8GB Ram and ran Maverick without problem...Yosemite installation has me completely frozen, nothing works but the spinning ball...I had to force shutdown last night, and haven't turned it on again...what do you advise? During installation emptied cache, etc. Backed up using time machine, fortunately.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

2.8ghz intel core 2 duo w/8gb ram and 240gb ssd

I have run across a lot of topics regarding upgrading your MBP late 2008 edition to 8gb of ram and that it is not possible. (only supports 6gb)
just wanted to let you all know that i just installed a brand new ssd, fresh install of 10.6, backuped my data, then installed 8gb of ram successfully...no hitches.
thanks.

I have the same MacBookPro3,1 OS X seems to handle 8GB but with undefinable glitches. Windows does not know how to handle over 6. I even tried Windows 7 x64 with SP1 Integrated. The installer seems to work but takes literally 10 hrs and does not complete. With 6GB everything is fine on the windows side and it installs in 30 minutes. Also with 6GB OS X side is rock solid stable.
Personally, I opted for a Seagate Momentus XT 500GB for the HD with 4GB SSD buffer. After the Momentus XT I tried an Intel 320 Series SSDSA2CW120G310 2.5" 120GB SATA but there didn't seem to be any noticable speed difference between the SSD and the Momentus XT. Some reading revealed that this was because Apple designed the MacBookPro3,1 with a negotiated link speed at SATA 1 speeds to accomidate the ide DVD drive. The ICH9 chipset supports SATA II, but SMC firmware limits it to SATA 1 on the MacbookPro3,1s. I tried operating the macbook without the dvd drive to see if it would negotiate at higher SATA 2 speeds, but no go.
BTW - If you swap out the top case/trackpad with one from a MacbookPro4,1 you get all the multitouch gestures.

Energy usage (watt) of MacBook Pro 2010 with 8GB Ram and i7

I think of buying a MacBook Pro with 8GB, i7
(and SSD, but that's not important because it consumes less than HDD)
What is the energy consumption (in Watt) in idle state with display on under
1) OSX
2) Win7 (I need this for my job)

Well, I need a computer professionally. At least now.
But I want to keep my environments impact at a minimum.
So I need precise data to evaluate what I do:
money is one thing, because it's usually very finite,
but even more important is recyclability, energy, ...:
10 Watts difference (e.g. for 8GB instead of 4GB?)
will yield, over mac lifetime of say 10 years (the laptop
im am currently typing on is 8+ years old, but is slowly
going towards being obsolete, even with ISA SSD upgrade):
10 h/d * 365 d/y * 10 W * 10 y = 365000 Wh = 365kWh.
I try to save energy, so this is approx my direct energy usage
of 1 year (I have no car, do not fly, have no refrigerator,
do not heat my appartement above 10 deg Celcius, ...
but strangely I have a computer and I am a programmer ...).
For me, it's important. It is relevant for my decisions:
5 Watts? I will be tempted by 8GB. 10 Watts? I don't know.
(I do setup work, so I use VMs a lot, so I need quite some
memory for that ...).

I got a U410, would like to upgrade it to 8GB ram of my choice, can the service centre do it for me?

Hi, I got a U410 and I would like to upgrade to ram of my own choice, but I do not know how to do it, can I get my own ram and let the service centre crew to do it for me? Thank You
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You could do this on your own.
But dude i m not sure if changing ram voids warranty.

8GB RAM and Oracle 9i RC2 SLES8-64

We have a Server with AMD64 and 8GB RAM running with the combination of Suse Enterprise-Server 8 and Oracle 9i RC2.
Is it possible to let the Database work with 6GB or more?
Is the Version 9i RC2 a 32bit or 64bit Database?

Upgrades on a MA700LLA, ram and hd.

Ok so I've had my white macbook for some time now. He's got 1.5gb ram after one stick died a stuffed back in the original ( I KNOW THIS BAD). I also have the stock 80gb HDD in it.
Crucical's ram selector says it only supports 2gb of ram but I have read else where that you can put more in it (up to 4gb), can anyone tell me how much it can support?
For HDD's im looking at the Western Digital Scorpio Black WD1600BEKT ( 7200rpm 160gb 16MB cachw and sata 3gb). I know the machine is 1.5gb but wd says it is backward compatiable with 1.5gb so i think this will work but I read in a review that some guy says his machine doesnt have the power to support a 7200rpm drive anyone know about the macbooks?
I have a MA7000LL/A White MacBook from mid 2006 running 10.5.5

You can install up to 4 GBs of RAM but only 3 GBs is usable by the OS. That means you can install either 3 GBs or 4 GBs.
The drive you've identified should be fine. Note that some WD notebook drives that are 3.0 Gb/s models may need a jumper changed to work on your computer's 1.5 Gb/s interface.

Is the 13 inch powerful enough to run CAD and simulation software with 8gb ram and i5

Or would you need upgraded specs?

I got the 15" rMBP instead.
Call the local Apple Store and ask if you can test your software on their computers. I was allowed to do that. I did and that is how I decided.

Which refurbished 15 inch MBP with 8GB RAM and 256GB Storage should I get? Which has a better graphics card for gaming?

If it were me, I'd save the $60 and get the 2.3GHz one. Its only 4% slower in the specs and will be hardly noticeable in use. The only advantage to the newer one is the Haswell processor which might (note that it is only a might) give a little better battery life with a trade-off of 15% in raw performance.

Upgraded to IOS 8.1, and now getting only "extended" cellular instead of LTE

after I upgraded to IOS 8.1 on my iPhone 5s, I now am only getting "extended" coverage instead of LTE. I have restarted, and still it will not pick up the LTE. No problem before upgrade, 2 -3 bars. What happened?? How do I fix it?? thanks in advance for any help.

1) IMPORTANT- If you are using a Vzw Network Extender in your home or office, since update of iOS 8.1 you will always see extended mode on your phone, no matter what, for now. (4g HD calling not yet available through Vpn tunnel)
2) 8.1 apple update defaulted all the iPhone cellular mode LTE setting to data only. to fix, go to settings> Cellular > Enable LTE > Select Voice & Data. a check mark should appear within 30 seconds and Verizon will reappear on iPhone. If the check mark appears you are now back on Vzw cell network and have High Def calling. If not - complete a "hard reset on the iPhone" Do this by holding down your power button and home button until you see the apple logo on the screen, This actually disconnects the battery on the phone and forces the sim card to reach out to the towers and reinitialize settings.
If this does not work, toggle on and off Airplane Mode
If that does not work; go to settings> General> Reset> Reset Network Settings
Now if after all that your check mark does not appear or you get a pop box on the phone that says "call Vzw to enable LTE calls" then here is the solution:
Call Vzw, have them add the following 3 codes on your account:
A) Advanced Calling 1.0 - Vzw Feature Code 81143
B) High Def Voice - Vzw Feature Code 81158
C) High Def Access - Vzw Feature Code 81186
If you give the Vzw rep the three feature codes it will make your life easier because this is a very new issue!
Now you can hard reset and select LTE Voice and Data and get back on the Vzw Network

Upgraded to 8GB RAM - Windows 7 64-Bit Not Using All of It

I just upgraded my 3.02GHz MacbookPro to 8GB RAM and in both Mac and Windows (64-Bit) it acknowledges that I have 8GB installed. However in Windows 7's task manager it shows:
Total Physical Memory 8167MB
Cached 4500MB
Available 4557MB
Free 91MB
and it shows I'm only using 3.51GB....Why only 91MB free? In Adobe Illustrator I am getting not enough RAM errors so it seems like Windows 7 is tapping out at the old 4GB ceiling. Anyone know if this is a setting that is easily modified so I can use all 8GB?
Thanks!

mine too same time as well

URGENT - upgrading ram and hard

Hi there,
I went in to a store to buy a macbook pro 15" with 2.4GHz CPU. I asked if I would be able to upgrade my har drive from 750GB SATA (as comes standard) to a 256 SSD later on. She answered "No, if you want a SSD hard you should get it from the factory and when you received it, you would not be able to upgrade your hard nor your RAM. So if you want a higher RAM you should customize your order now; so you better go with the 8GB RAM and the SSD ordered from Apple".
Now my question is: IS THAT RIGHT??? So does thatt mean becasue now that I've ordered an 8 GB RAM with a 128GB SSD I would not be able to upgrade my ram and Hard drive later???

Thanks for your reply mate
I had a look at this earlier but didn't know if I could upgrade it after I received it or not.
The other thing is the warranty; if I change the RAM and HD, would it void the warranty?
And also, the macsales shows the SSD's as 120 or 240 or 480 as oppose to 128, 256 and 512... any idea? or am I wrong?
The MBP comes with instructions for making those changes so it won't void your warranty unless you break something in the process. The SSD's sizes aren't anything to worry about; it's the price differences that matter most!

15"Macbook Pro fall 2011 with Core i7 2.0 GHZ, 8GB RAM v/s 2013 Macbook Air 13". Is it a good upgrade?

HI All
This is my first post here. As mentioned I have a fall 2011 15"Macbook Pro fall 2011 with Core i7 2.0 GHZ, 8GB RAM and i was thinking of buying a 2013 Macbook Air 13". Is it a good upgrade? I do light video editing and day to day tasks like word processing, email etc.
How would the performance of the Macbook Air with the Core i5 with 4 gb Ram be compared to the old Macbook Pro 15 with Core i7 Quad 2.0 ghz with 8 GB Ram.
Thanks
Sunny

The main advantage would be a solid state drive. This will improve performance and speed moreso than RAM considerations. The disadvantage will be a loss of storage space. Moreover, one of the disadvantages of a SSD is that the more storage space used on it, the slower it becomes and the quicker it will deteroriate.
If you do video editing, I would take the GPU into consideration. Does your 15'' come with a discrete GPU? The integrated GPU on the MBA (intel HD 5000) is better than the 2011 MBP integrated GPU (3000), but it includes no discrete GPU.
Depending on how much storage space you use on your HDD currently + how many graphics intensive programs you run, you may want to consider upgrading your current machine with a SSD, upgrading your RAM on current machine to 16 gb (~160$ through macmemory or newegg), or purchasing a new Macbook Pro rather than Macbook Air.
Last thing I would add:
You will never be able to upgrade MBA RAM. It is soldered to the logicboard on the new models, non-retina included. You may wan to opt with the 8 GB RAM configuration.
