Can i use 32Gb RAM on my macbook pro 2012

Can i use 32Gb (2 x 16Gb) RAM on my 2012 Macbook Pro????

No, the maximum RAM your MBP will recognize is 16 GB.
I suspect that chips with 16GB on each chip are probably of a different configuration than the 204 pin chips that the MBP accepts therefore could not be installed anyway.
The best sources for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.

Web browsers crashing and using up RAM on new Macbook Pro

Hey everyone,
Recently I bought a Mid 2014 Macbook Pro to replace my old 2011 model that was destroyed by liquid damage. Though I like this new computer, I seem to always have an issue with it running low on memory, ESPECIALLY when using web browsers such as Firefox and Safari. Quite often I will be waiting for a URL to load or will try to scroll through a webpage when the browser will freeze and crash. I've been keeping more of an eye on how much of my 8GBs RAM is being used at any current moment, and typically it is ranging from 2 GBs free to around only 30 MBs free as run applications such as Pages, Firefox, and/or Safari. These issues have been preventing me from using software such as Photoshop and Avid Media Composer because I keep wondering if the computer can even handle such memory intensive software if it cannot handle web browsers. Also when a browser crashes, I never seem to get a crash report and typically have to Force Quit the software.
It seems extremely odd that my computer is constantly running into these issues. My last model had less RAM, yet I never seemed to have an issue with memory or crashing. Part of me is wondering if I have an application somewhere that is consuming too much, or if I accidentally imported some broken files/applications from my previous computer, or whether it is either the web browser's software or the computer itself.
Below are my specs:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
Yosemite 10.10.2 (14C109)
2.6 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB
Media Name:    APPLE SSD SD0128F Media     Size:    120.47 GB (120,473,067,520 bytes)
Software i typically am running for work:
Safari Version 8.0.3 (10600.3.18)
Firefox 36.0.1
Pages 5.5.2
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Launch the Console 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.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Can I use 1333MHz RAM in a MacBook Pro Mid 2012?

Hi.
My MacBook Pro Mid ´12 comes with 4GB 1600MHz RAM. I upgraded this to 8GB 1333MHz. Does this cause a hot MacBook Pro near the battery?

phlek wrote:
Can the 1333MHz RAM be the problem for heating?
Not likely. Usually it will be a function of the stress placed on the CPU/GPU by applications. Hardware faults may be another source of heat such as the fans.
I will buy Corsair Vengance, what do you think about this brand?
If the specifications are the correct ones, it should work.
Ciao.

What type of ram does the MacBook Pro 15" use?

What type of ram does the MacBook Pro 15" use? Is it the same as the 13"?

13 and 15-inch MacBooks Pro use the same RAM type, but it depends on the model. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1270

I want to upgrade the ram on my macbook pro 13inch (early 2011). i found an 8Gb (4Gb x2) PNY "mac compatible" that is DDR3 PC3-10666 but my macbook is a PC3-10600. Do i need to use a ram with the exact specifications that my macbook lists?

Yes that is your best bet. Without looking at it too closely double check your options here:

128 MB video ram on a macbook pro - enough to drive the new 30"?

128 MB video ram on a macbook pro - enough to drive the new 30"?
meaning, can it do this well???

Even 16 MB VRAM would be enough to display a 2D picture on the 30".
Depending on 3D usage you need much VRAM.
Unless you are using a lot of the latest 3D games or Apples 3D pro apps (Motion/Shake or something like that) 128 MB should be fine.

Lightroom 5.6 hangs after using for few minutes. MacBook pro, Mac os 10.9.5. Colour wheel (beach ball) appears continuously and machine is frozen.

I have been using Lightroom successfully on my MacBook pro for the past few weeks and been pleased how much better it is compared to iPhoto. Especially its speed.
This week a few minutes after starting Lightroom the spinning colour wheel appears and the machine is effectively hung. Nothing responds. Sometimes after many minutes the mouse pointer reappers but the colour wheel immediately reappears if the mouse is moved or any attempt is made to do anything. Only recourse is to force a power down and re-boot. But then the same thing happens.
System is MacBook Pro (15") from late 2008, 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM (Have tried 3 GB but this makes no difference.) Running Mac os 10.9.5 (Mavericks)
I have checked file permissions and file system with Disk Utility, it found no problems. Have optimised Lightrooms catalogue. All made no difference.
I completely stuck now so any help appreciated,
John

Hi a,
It looks like you have a 15" mid 2010. You can try the SMC reset. If that doesn't work, see the free repair program for similar issues:

Scrolling through PDF files is slow using Adobe Reader on MY MACBOOK pro with retina

Scrolling through PDF file using Adobe reader on my MACBOOK pro is very slow and stuters. That is even for small files. MAC preview and Adobe pro do not have this issue. It is only Adobe ready.
Please advice.

Summarizing the problem specifics and versions for future readers:
There are two separate "slow scrolling" bugs in recent versions of Adobe Reader on Mac OS X. Symptoms: scrolling by mouse or fn + down arrow is very sluggish and laggy. It is not isolated to large or graphically complex documents. This 2 megabyte PDF shows illustrates the problem: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/nasa-tnd-6846pt.1.pdf
Problem 1: Adobe plug-in for Safari causes slow scrolling when viewing PDF documents within Safari. Solution: remove Adobe plugins from Mac HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin. I also deleted AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin. This will cause PDF display within Safari to revert to the built-in Apple PDF renderer, which is very fast. These files will be re-installed anytime you install or upgrade Adobe Reader.
Problem 2: Stand-alone Adobe Reader scrolling is slow starting with version 11.0.01. Version 10.1.4 and earlier are not slow. User CF McBlob did not experience this slowdown, but was also running Acrobat 10.1.7, which might have libraries which prevented the problem. I'll do further testing when possible to try and isolate more details.
Platform specifics: OS X 10.8.4, late 2012 iMac 27", i7 3.4Ghz, 16GB RAM, 3TB Fusion drive, GPU = GTX675MX, 1GB

Installing RAM, Mid-2012 Macbook Pro?

Can a user or owner install RAM, Mid-2012 Macbook Pro?
Is it a straightforward process? I've installed RAM into DT macs..and into a "Pismo" era powerbook.
thank you

"is a Spudger absolutely necessary to remove that plug,"
Battery plug? No you can just use your fingernails. I actually use a #3 Master Airscrew nylon propellor from the hobby shop, cut in half and wrapped w/ self fusing electrical tape. I have about 6 of them and half are pretty worn out.
"are there any screws or other parts which might wish to fly out and away as a person opens the case and gets at this task?"
No it's just the way the bottom fits on to the MBP. You fit it in the back (near the vent) first, then pull it forward and into place.
The other thing is the screws are different lengths in the bottom so just keep track of where they belong. If you don't force anything you won't get into trouble because it's fairly obvious if you have the wrong screw in the wrong place. If you're doing a super pro job you would add a tiny dot of blue "Thread Loc" to the tip of the screw when you put it back.

RAM on a macbook pro 2012

I have been looking at youtube videos regarding changing the RAM on my macbook pro.
Is there a big difference from 4GB of RAM to 8GB ?
My macbook is still very new and under full warrenty both with apple and the store where it was bought.
If i was to change it to 8GB would i be best taking it to apple to do this to keep the warrenty in order and
would i see a difference with the speed that my macbook pro works ?
Thanks

Not if your uses are mostly email, web, and office in one app at a time. 4GB is fine for that.
If you edit graphics and photos a lot, as a student or for a living, 8GB is more or less required. Or if you like to keep a lot open, like lots of browser tabs or lots of programs open at the same time.
I was doing some high-res photo/video work the other day and I ran out of RAM very quickly on an 8GB Mac because of the number of apps I had open and the size of the documents. 16GB would have been great for that type of work.

Im thinking about buying OWC ram for my macbook pro.

Im thinking about buying OWC ram for my macbook pro but dont know if it will have negative affects on my computer, should i do it?

Only if you install it wrong or use the wrong RAM.

Use the free Crucil.com checker to doublecheck if you need too.
You don't want Apple to do it, they quoted me $435 to upgrade $70 worth of RAM.
Do it yourself or have a local geek friend (PC or Mac) do it, it's not hard, unles you got bad eyesight and can't see the tiny screws. Use a catch mat, follow proper anti-static and handling. (touch only plastic)
Break something inside, your on your own though. No warranty coverqge or AppleCare for self inflicted damage.

Will RAM from my Macbook Pro work in iBook G4?

I just upgraded the RAM in my Macbook Pro 2.4 GHZ (removed two 1 GB cards and installed two 2GB cards). I now have two 1GB sticks of RAM (Samsung, came with the Macbook Pro) that are sitting here gathering dust. I have an iBook G4 1.2 GHZ that I would like to upgrade - can I use one of these 1GB Samsung sticks from the Macbook Pro in the iBook or are they incompatible?
Thank you!

Hi Adaklu,
I'm afraid the RAM from your MBP will not work in an iBook.

How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion? I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8)

How does one continue to use Mail on the early MacBook Pro, Model 1,1, that is not upgradable to Lion? I have been running iCloud on my iPhone (OS5) and iMac (Lion) along with the MacBook Pro (OS Version 10.6.8) since November until now. Mail will no longer download on the MacBook Pro and keeps asking for my password.

Mail should still be usable with your machine - but you'll need to update the settings to conform to the requirements of your system. Check with your ISP (like ATT, etc.) for the settings that will work with your Mail. Once you've updated this, you should be able to email like before.
For example, my ISP required that I go to Mail Preferences/Accounts and make sure the details conform to your email settings.
I have no idea of what your ISP is or what the settings might be, but this is likely the source of the problem.
