Hello nilpavan,
Please take a look at this document, which provides the information you are requesting regarding upgrading your RAM.  Regarding the hard drive upgrade, I would refer to your Maintenance and Service Guide and your HD/SDD manual, located here.

  • Upgrading RAM and SSD on MacBook Pro 15" mid 2009

    Hey,
    I want to upgrade RAM and SSD on my macbook pro, identifier 5,3, and I want to make sure the parts I picked will be compatible with my Macbook.
    I'm specifically not sure about its support of 512GB.
    I thought about RAM:
    http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-8500-SODIMM-204-Pin-CT2K4G3S1067M/dp/B008LTBJF M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420487078&sr=8-1&keywords=DDR3+PC3-8500
    SSD:

    Thanks!

    " I have also created a back up on Time Machine (I think I did)."
    Check this out:
    http://macintoshhowto.com/repair/back-up-computer.html
    Once you think you've done it correctly restart and hold down the option key or go to "System Preferences" under the Apple and look at "Startup Disk".
    That will tell which Disks are bootable.
    Now about that Crucial drive:
    http://forum.crucial.com/t5/Crucial-SSDs/512GB-M4-and-2009-Macbook-Pro/td-p/7805 6
    It's not clear to me that this issue was resolved. The last post goes nowhere!
    I always use OWC:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC
    Just did two including this MacBook Pro early 2011 13" and a 2012 Mini. Total no-brainer! The way I like it.

  • 2011 Macbook Pro - if i upgrade ram and Hard drive will it void my applecare ?

    2011 13" Macbook Pro - if i upgrade ram and Hard drive will it void my 3 years of applecare ?  - Does apple offer this service ?
    Thanks

    However it might be worth reading this article in The Register about Apple not using standard temperature sensing methodology  - see
    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/14/imac_hard_drive_replacement_woes/http://
    also read the links to OWC comments.

  • Upgrading ram and harddrive before turning on macbook for the first time?

    Hello, I'm totally new to the world of Macs. I am for sure going to purchase a Macbook, but I feel it might be better to upgrade ram and harddrive through third party. I have never upgraded ram or a harddrive, but it seems easy enough after watching the video at macworld and reading instructions. My question is:
    Should I install the ram and harddrive before I turn on the macbook for the first time? Would this make things any easier? Would this be a bad thing to do?
    I plan on ordering both the macbook and the ram and harddrive on the same day. Which is basically why I was wondering.
    Thank you!

    Welcome to the discussions!
    I agree fully with Ned. You will want to power it up and run the setup and even do your data transfer and maybe even install a program or two before doing any upgrades at all.
    Why?
    Updating the OS tests your Airport or ethernet connection.
    Migrating data over by FireWire or USB tests those connections.
    Installing programs from CD will test out the CD drive.
    You will also get a feel for the baseline performance and have something to compare it to once you do those upgrades.

    Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB
    or if there is any other ram please provide me detail.
    Also this is my cpu-z report 
    will this both ram will work at 1600mhz and compatible with my board ?
    Should i add one ram to existing or replace it with two ? 
    what is max size i can upgrade for RAM ?
    Will this SSD would be compatible? 
    Samsunng evo 840
    Crucial MX100
    i am guessing both will be compatible with my laptop but the main problem is ram and it's frequency i can't seems to find a way. 
    Please help.

    Hi,
    Your machine currently has 4Gb of RAM:
        http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03325481
    It supports 8Gb max. CPU-Z (SPD tab) should show you RAM information including brand. You can work out what do you need using that information. My suggestion: use information on the SPD tab INCLUDING brand.
    Regards.

  • Upgraded RAM and Changed HD to SSD: Computer Crashing

    Hi guys, I have a 2013 MBP that I recently upgraded with 16 gigs of RAM and an SSD. Both pieces of hardware, I was careful to make sure were compatible with my computer. Ever since installing them, though, I have been experiencing consistent crashing that seems to happen most regularly when the computer awakes from sleep mode or when I unplug or plug in the charger. I ran a memtest, and it stated everything was fine. Debugged the hd.
    This is the error report that I am receiving after recovering from a crash:
    Any chance I could get some help with this issue? Thanks for reading guys!

    In view of the changes you have made, I suggest that you reinstall the original RAM and see if there is a change.  If not, then the SSD should be substituted for the original HDD.  Kernel panics are often attributable to hardware issues.
    Also run an Apple hardware Test which may provide a clue.

  • Info on upgrading RAM and Hard Disk on late-2011 Macbook Pro

    Hello everyone,
    I would like some info from anyone regarding upgrading RAM on my macbook pro (13inch, late 2011 model) from 4GB to 8GB. Will the notebok support 8GB and if so, is it something that you can do yourself or should it be taken to an Apple store ?
    Also, my notebook currently has a 320GB hard-disk drive, that I would like to swap for a 320GB/480GB SSD. Again, which models are compatible with my notebook, and whether I can swap it out myself, or should I let an Apple technician at the store do it for me?
    Thanks and regards to all ..

    Yes. You can upgrade that machine to 8 GB. I have the same machine. I think you can do 16 GB but the RAM is quite a bit more money. You can do it yourself with a small enough screwdriver. I doubt the Apple Store would install 3rd party RAM and you don't want to pay Apple prices for it.
    A hard drive is about the same. Once you open the case, you can replace both. I suggest OWC. They have the tools, instructions, the RAM, the hard drives, etc. They even sell external enclosure kits so you can upgrade your internal drive and use the old drive an an external for archiving data.

  • Upgrading RAM and adding a SSD to new 27 inch iMac?

    Hi all, is it extremely difficult to upgrade the RAM and add a SDD in the new 27 inch i7 iMAC yourself? I have read somewhere that it is extremely difficult and can void warranty.
    The new hyper threading/turbocharged 27 inch iMAC can have two drives one conventional and a SDD. But I think the bracket and connecting cable for the SDD is not in the casing unless the AppleStore fit the drive themselves as a customized purchase order.
    I have been told by a guy who provides maintenance for mac and PC users in my area that it can work out less expensive to purchase a basic model mac form the apple store then upgrade it oneself making sure to use the proper compatible RAM, drives etc.
    I am in the market for either a new generation 27 inch iMac or an 8 or 12 core new Mac Pro but if I thought it possible to upgrade the iMac I would purchase it for the time being as like most of us I am trying to keep spending down to a minimum to ride out this recession!!
    I would appreciate all views.
    Thanks,
    E

    Hi E
    Ram is the only thing that is considered user upgradeable,

    order the iMac with an SSD, and then upgrade the memory yourself with third party ram.

  • E45T-B4106 Upgrading RAM and HD

    Can someone provide steps and pictures as to how to do this and what sort of RAM should I use?

    For a bit over $600, you could upgrade your particular MBP to 16GB of RAM and a 480 GB SSD and get a remarkable increase in speed. A new MBP would cost about $1,400 more and that's with a maximum of 8 GB of RAM. You'd get a longer warranty with AppleCare with the new one (for another $250). You also have a graphics processor on yours but a new 13" MBP has only the built-in graphics. The only thing I'd miss is the USB 3.0 ports vs the USB 2.0 ports you have.
    Upgrading your current Mac sounds like a speedy and economical choice.

  • 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!

  • Upgrading RAM and violating warranty

    Is there a link to some sort of official Apple policy regarding the upgrading of RAM on Mac Mini's?
    I have a Mac Mini and want to put the maximum amount of RAM in it (2 Gigs) but do not want to void the warranty unnecessarily, though I will if I have to. I do not want to incur unneccessary costs either, I feel I can do it myself especially after having done it previously on my iMac.
    Does any one have any points to URL's out there?
    Thanks
    Jeremiah

    There is no definitive statement on the issue of warranty and opening the mini to upgrade RAM - many have looked before!
    Macworld reported a conversation with a 'senior' person at Apple at the time of the mini's initial release on this specific subject where it was reported that the warranty would not be voided by opening the mini, nor by upgrading RAM, 'unless the user causes damage', and by and large this appears to be the policy that has been applied in general. However, there have been sporadic, infrequent, posts here (and elsewhere) indicating that some users have been refused warranty service because they have upgraded RAM themselves. Of course it's not possible to be sure that at least some of these users had not caused collateral problems or damage in the process and simply not included that fact.
    One must also consider whether or not there are consumer protection laws in the specific location which might impact on the terms of the warranty or the manner in which it can be enforced, since if such legislation exists, it will modify user rights in accordance with it's terms.
    All in all, it is reasonable to conclude that if you upgrade the RAM yourself with modules that are fully compatible, take care opening the case and performing the task, and ensure that everything is reconnected correctly and no damage is done, it is unlikely that the warranty would be at risk, and in the event that a warranty claim was subsequently denied, it is possible you could have that decision overturned by discussing the matter with Apple, or the relevant store manager. Alternatively, you could take the mini and purchased RAM to an Apple approved service provider and have them do the upgrade, which would be an additional cost of course, but would safeguard the warranty beyond any doubt.

  • Upgrading RAM and OS System on MacBook.

    Hi,
    I am after a bit of advice. I currently have a MacBook 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OS X Version 10.4.11. I am looking to increase the RAM to 2 GB and upgrade to OS Snow Leopard. I was just wondering if it is as simple as buying new RAM and installing it? And can I upgrade from my current OS to Snow Leopard buy just purchasing the disc and installing on my MacBook?

    Did you buy the 29$-version-upgrade or the Mac OS X Box Set for 129? That's in part what I'm really wondering, because it seems a little silly to me to invest another 129 Euros into a MacBook that's already 4,5 years old. Do all the applications still work? (Stuff like Mail, iTunes and Safari is mainly what I'm wondering about)?
    My 10.4.11 is starting to fail me and since all the new software updates (especially Skype is bugging me here) are only 10.5 and above compatible.

  • Upgrading ram and processor

    I have a mid 2010 white macbook, it become slow after I upgraded it to Mavericks. I would like to know if I reinstall the original OS it will be a bit faster or should I restore the original OS AND upgrade the ram and processor? If I go with the latter, on the Apple website it gives me this ram: PC3-8500 DDR3 1066 MHz. I've researched many brands on Amazon and some people cite problems after installing various brands. Can someone advice me toward a good ram and processor that wont cause any problems? Much appreciated!

    Check the link below for highly recommended RAM.

    The CPU can not be upgraded.

  • Upgrading RAM and maybe SSD

    Alright, so I have a HP Pavilion Touchsmart 14 Sleekbook. I want to have a little more speed and capacity. I would like to upgrade my RAM and SSD, but I have no clue on the maximum capacity on this computer. If you all could help me out, I would greatly appreciate that. Also, any recommendations for the brand or sub categories would also be appreciated.Thank you all!!

    Hi again,
    Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03721290
    Specs: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-14​-Sleekbook/5355021/model/5438123/document/c0389800​...
    You can upgrade upto 8GB maximum according to the Specs page and Manual. And your laptop already had 4gigs in one slot.
    There are 2 customer-accessible slots available & you can buy one more exactly identical 4GB RAM preferably same brand for the upgrade & both can act in Dual-channel configuration for better performance.
    About the RAM frequency, the user guide does not give reliable information for Celeron processors. So better you find that from BIOS setup f10, soon after powering on the laptop or running CPUZ program tool.
    http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
    Crucial has an online scanner which detects and lists compatible upgrades guaranteed in your system, you can run that and probably purchase one from them.

    You can replace HDD with SSD of similar form factor - 2.5 inch SATA 7mm thick. A 250gb or above Samsung Evo SSD would be good in my opinion. Cloning the HDD to SSD would be preferable if you don't want to do a clean install. You could also use Recovery USB you must have created initially to factory reset laptop after SSD upgrade.
    If you don't have recovery media, you could create one now preferably in a 32gb good branded USB (avoid Sandisk):
    http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03481733
    If you've upgraded Windows 8 to 8.1 , recovery partition might have become corrupted , this ordering Recovery USB is the option left.
    See Page 54-56, 66, 67 Chapter 5 in the Manual & you can see that, for installing SSD, memory module you have to take the System motherboard out. Its better you give it to nearest HP service center for the upgrade since they'll be having all the tools required.
    It'll void warranty if you do it yourself & in the process break something.
