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 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:

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:

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 ?
ThanksHowever it might be worth reading this article in The Register about Apple not using standard temperature sensing methodology - see

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. -
Upgrading RAM and SSD on hp pavilion g6 2005ax
Hey guys,
I have hp pavilion 2005 ax laptop i want to upgrade ram and SSD i have one slot unused i want to know which ram should i go with.
Corsair DDR3 8 GB
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB
or if there is any other ram please provide me detail.
Also this is my cpu-z report

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.

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. -
Fan noise after upgrade ram and OS
hello there
i have a problem with the fan noise. it's extremely high. i'm running a MacBook Pro 15" and i had OS Tiger. i bought an iphone4S so i upgraded the OS to snow leopard. all running fine!
then two weeks ago i decided to upgrade ram to have a more perfect machine, and i upgraded from 2GB (1+1) to 4 (2+2). the brand is kingston
after that there is a persistent fan noise. it went worse when i went to my windows partition. then it sounded like an helicopter... i updated all software, bootcamp drivers and everything and i don't know what this noise can be... any help?I did exactly the same as you. The ram I installed is Integral IN2T2GAXNEX2, 2x2 Mbs.
Unlike the original ram which has manufacturer's & serial numbers (as seen in system profiler) this new ram does not.
Manufacturer: 0x0000
Part Number: 0x000000463732353642363145363830304600
Serial Number: 0x00000000
The fans now run at nearly 2000 rpm all the time, from boot, although the temperature is only 19ºc.
Has anyone added actual Apple Ram and found the same problem? (some sites claim this Integral ram to be identical to Apple Ram).
Another site suggested non apple ram may lack a temperature control chip thus inducing the fans to run just in case. -

I know, i cant upgrade for 10.8 or 10.9 but i want to know if i can use this machine for a ltlle more of time.,
Please, tell me, in your opinion, whats the better option.
If you can, please, indicate how can i upgrade 4, 6, or 8GB acording your suggest. I am not sure
if i can put 8G Ram in the machine. (btw, that will be amazing)
For HD i have no idea for compatibles disks with this model, (size, etc)
My intension is use this apps: Autocad, Win8 with bootcamp, Photoshop, Office, etc...
I''ll be happy paying until 400$ for Upgrades.

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!

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.

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???shahabz wrote:
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! -
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.

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.
http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/systemscanner
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.

Upgrading RAM and Flash Storage for higher capacity
If I purchase a MacBook Pro with Retina Display with 8GB or RAM and 256GB Flash Drive, can I later upgrade the RAM and Flash Drive for higher capacity?
Just to clarify...
If I were to purchase a "regular" MacBook Pro (non-"retina", DVD drive, FireWire port, etc.) and seek aftermarket options for...
(1: replacing the main RAM with 16 gigabytes of RAM (I understand that the newest "regular" MBP is limited to a BTO option of only 8 GB.)
and
(2: replacing the hard drive with a larger-capacity aftermarket Solid State Drive, preferably one with a capacity of either 768 gigabytes or 1 terabyte.
Do such aftermarket options exist for the newest "regular" MacBook Pro? Can this model handle 16 GB of RAM? If there are aftermarket kits available, who installs them? -
TOBJ entries missing from upgrade dev and test systems
Hi,
We are in the process of ECC Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 and upgraded our dev and test systems. We missing some SAP defined object entries in TOBJ table from dev and test. Because of this some of the roles getting transport errors if the roles contain those missing objects. We tried to transport the missing entries but we don't see any provision for that. Does any one through an idea to move those missing entries from dev to test. Not sure we will get same error in production. This table updates during upgrade and may be we missed some thing in test as though we followed the same upgrade process for both systems.
Thank you
VenkatPossibly you are no longer licensed for components which these objects are called from in their concepts.
In that case the ability to start the component objects should be removed as well.
Of course if some Z-programs checked these objects or SAP's own "package concept" extended syntax checks did not respect them then you might have problems.
This should normally only apply to manual authorization instances, as if you had upgraded the roles and regenerated them, then you would not have this problem (in the roles).
It tells us something about how you or someone else without any training have built these roles (or subsequently mucked them up...)...
When reading stuff like this, I am always of two minds...
1) SAP should make the concepts simpler and more intuitive to use without "cowboy" activities allowed by users with SAP_ALL etc.
2) Customers should bleed for their own sins for not training people appropriatly (here, faking CV's is also ma major pest!).
It is always a bit of a cat & mouse game and ends up in forums such as SDN in the long run.
Some of it might also have become "available" to be used by SAP (I believe it was the 6.20 upgrade which installed everything...).
Real bugger. I would accept it and test as best you can. You can also compare "where.used-lists" and "code scans" before and after the upgrade to see whether it is used by foreign repository objects.
The scan is more reliable here, as sometimes the object name itself is a variable from a data declaration or condition which you cannot see in the "procedural" code.
Cheers,

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,
EHi E
Ram is the only thing that is considered user upgradeable,
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iMac_Mid2010UG.pdf
order the iMac with an SSD, and then upgrade the memory yourself with third party ram.
