What is the max memory allowed on a macbook pro 15" (late 2011), and what speed is the max speed allowed?

Hello,
I own a Macbook Pro 15" (late 2011) and I would like to upgrade the memory. I want to go with two 8gb sticks but if the motherboard only supports 8gb then I will have to stick with 8gb. Also, the ram that I have in currently, which is the 4gb that came with the mac, is 1333 Mz. Would I be able to upgrade to 1600 Mz on this laptop?

Max is 16 GBs. Do not attempt to use memory with specs that differ from those required by your hardware.
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

    Migration Assistant (Finder > Applications > Utilities > Migration Assistant) is the tool that you would use to restore backups from older Macs to another Mac.
    Details are here:   http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html   The same info applies for Mavericks and Yosemite.   If you are saying that this is a "no go".....where are you getting stuck?  What error messages do you see?

  • Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro?  I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

    Can I insert a memory card into my Macbook Pro?  I tried, and it does not go in on its own, I don't want to force it and get it stuck!! Help!

    Maybe the wrong port or the wrong kind of memory card? You didn't say what version/year of Macbook Pro you have. Below is a photo of the newest one.
    Red oval = USB port. It is to the left of the headphone jack.
    Blue oval = SDXC card port. Is your card an SDXC card?
    What are your options for transferring data to the picture frame?  The manual should say.

  • I have the new macbook pro from late 2011. when i try plugging my cannon gl2 into the mac via firewire 800 it does not show up in iMovie as an option to import from. i even have gone into my settings on the camera and changed it to vcr.

    I have the new MacBook Pro from late 2011. "the one before the new ritina display" i have a cannon gl2 video camera which is mini dv. when i plug it into my mac via firwire 800 it does not show up in the iMovie. i have set the settings on the camera to vcr mode and changed it to av->dv out. when i click on the import from camera on imovie it doesnt even show my camera in it. it just gives me the option to import video from my facetime camera. the camera is turned on the wires are connected i know for fact that its a firewire and not a usb. i know what they each look like. i bought the firewire cable and it was marked down cause it was an opened and used item. would it be possible that it could be deffected and if that is not the reason what other options do i have?

    I would say that odds are high that you have a bad cable. Maybe that is why they returned it.
    I would suggest trying a different firewire cable.
    You can find Firewire cables inexpensively at monoprice.com. You need a 4 pin to 9 pin firewire cable.
    Here is a link.
    http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10301
    Other things to check:
    Is your camera plugged in to wall power (not to batteries only). Must be hooked to an AC power source to import.

    It is for the MacBook with built in flash storage.

    4. Power Nap requires a Mac notebook with built-in flash storage. May require a firmware update.

  • When printing from aperture my margins are unequal, even if i set my margins they come out bigger one side  and not the other. i am using a macbook pro running osx lion and printing with a canon pro 9000

    when printing from aperture my margins are unequal, even if i set my margins they come out bigger one side  and not the other. i am using a macbook pro running osx lion and printing with a canon pro 9000.
    please can anbody help or advise?

    You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor.  This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow.  What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
    Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer.  The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
    I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
    Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
    Printing Your Images
    There is also a good appendix on calibration:

  • Macbook Pro 15 "(late 2011) failure of the graph?

    I have a Macbook Pro 15 "late 2011. Anyway, yesterday suddenly working with photoshop choppy with many stripes screen mode interference stayed. Thing goes off and no longer gray top with window apple and can distinguish some weird lines in the background.'ve noticed that much heated and the fans spinning at maximum causing a lot of noise, but very exaggerated even going to burn and thought it is the graphics card. Des then ever Very few, I get to open the OS but asking him to do something that required a bit of thinking and resources are left hanging and computer exorbitantly warm after a while of being on, with fans the most.
    I report and I've seen these Google Apple Macbooks Pro have had problems with this model, which came with the faulty graphics card and there are many cases like mine the net.
    I've led the service and have told me it's the graphics card and ask me € 650 to change the motherboard and the graphics card is integrated into it.
    Because there are some times reaching to open the operating system and some not? If the graphics card failure should never be opened or seen anything on the screen ...
    Because if the graphics card fails the computer so hot? Something does not look clear or logical in this ...
    I was very happy with the laptop and Apple products even recommending their products worldwide.But now I feel ripped off by Apple, very unhappy and never'll buy an Apple product and will recommend to anyone else. I think if a laptop goes with any defective part must be arranged at no cost by the consumer no longer has warranty though. If your products are of such quality that do you find such a product to market and not requite the damage? I thought Apple products were of high quality and durability ...
    The question is how Apple leaves the market one produxto flaws and is not responsible?
    I would like a response from the company
    Actually, I'm very disappointed.

    noice T greetings:  Your comment suggests that you have had  less than satisfactory results in dealing with the staff at the Genius Bar.  I am disappointed to hear that.  I on the other hand have found them to be good to excellent for the most part (yes I do recall a less than satisfactory Genius).  I think ffmcollins' problem is better addressed at an Apple Store than at Best Buy.
    Ciao.

  • The plastic hinge between my screen and the computer (macbook pro retina) is cracked and doesn't hold the screen anymore? Can Apple change it?

    The hinge between my screen and my computer (macbook pro retina) has cracked and doesn't hold the screen anymore. Can I fix it without changing my screen. And if it's still on guarantee does Apple have to repair it?

    Apple can fix any and all of their computers.  Whether it would be charged to you would be the question.   Do you have AppleCare?
    Accidental damage is not covered by AppleCare.
    How old is this computer?

  • My 2008 MacBook Pro logic board died and I'm pulling the hard drive out.  What Apple computers have room for a 2nd 2 inch hard drive?

    The logic board on my 2008 MacBook Pro died.  But the hard drive is fine.  What Apple computer has room for me to insert my old drive as a 2nd hard drive?

    You can add it to any unibody MacBook Pro in the optical drive bay, if you can get along without an optical drive and you aren't worried about voiding the warranty (or if the machine you buy isn't under warranty). You can't add it to a Macbook Air, Mac Mini, or iMac, but you can easily put it into a Mac Pro. And of course with any Mac you can put it into an external enclosure and use it as an external drive.
    See my second post in this thread for a couple of enclosure recommendations:

    Everything was ok for 4 month. A month ago I've start experiencing freezes 1-2 a day and now it became worse, every hour. I've try to repair disk permissions, repair disk. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
    I read in one of the website that some people fixed this issue updating ssd firmware. But I'm not sure where to get firmware for my ssd.

    There are two options, keep the Time Machine HDD connected full time or turn Time Machine off and on only when you want to make the backup.
