As I stated in the title, I am looking to enhance speed and overall functionality of my swiftly aging 13.3" 2012 MacBook Pro. Through some searching, I have found out that the easier way to do this is by installing an SSD as well as upgrading the RAM. However, will the difference be enough to...
Hey there, I've recently decided to move to Apple products and I have a small dilemma. I was looking to buy a non-retina MacBook Pro since I do not have a lot of cash available. Most Macs I saw that fit my budget had either i7 with 4GB of RAM or i5 with 8GB of RAM. I used a laptop that had an i7...
I have just read an article on 9to5mac which says that the 16 gb Ram MB 12" is highly expected for the WWDC. Is there a possibility that this can be real? Would you buy it? What would its impacts be on the notebook and for its longevity?
Hello!
So I've got this old MBP for dirt cheap, it's got a faulty airport card and speakers, also I need to get a new battery for it.
So the question is...should I stick to Sierra on it or just go Mavericks or something, from what I can tell I Sierra runs somewhat sluggish. (It came installed...
So I got my hands on a Dual 2.5GHz G5 for a low price. The graphics card was almost dead. Now replaced I have got into the system and seen that only 4GB of the 8GB of RAM installed on the board is showing up. In errors an error reads :

Hi guys!
I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2012. I bring it with me on campus every day. I always put my MacBook to sleep after using it and before putting it in its sleeve and in my backpack. For some reason, a couple of weeks ago when I went to take my computer out of my backpack about an hour after...
Hello,
Newbie here please go easy on me.
I am currently looking into upgrading the ram on my macbook 7,1 white unibody with new 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMMs (also upgrading the HDD to a Crucial SSD drive).
this means I am going to have two 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMMs modules, 2GB each...
Hey guys I am looking to upgrade my macbook in order to avoid buying a new computer this year.
I found a thread that basically answered my questions about SSD and RAM upgrades but i want to know if these are still the best options since it is an old machine, or if there is something new to...
I have a mid 2012 13 in MacBook Pro, 2.5 CPU. I have some DDR3L PC31600 204 pin memory that I bought a while back.
Would it be compatible with the laptop?
Hi there,
I wanted to upgrade the RAM of my old Mac Pro 3,1 - 2x4 Quad Intel Xeon (Early 2008) up to 64GB of RAM. At this moment, I have 10GB of 800Mhz Kingston RAM installed and with El Capitan 10.11.6 and Adobe CC. It's definitely to slow now.
I'm not sure, if I should go for 8x8GB 800Mhz...
Hi!! I'm thinking to get a 2016 MBP with the touchbar! I'll be using it for daily use, school use, as well as video editing in FCPX/adobe premiere (no 4K, 1080p for now with filters and effects heavy) and stuffs.
I've already decided on getting the 13" touchbar model with 16Gb RAM and 512Gb...
Recently, I bought a 1 GB standard DDR ram stick for my old Mac mini G4, looking to re-purpose it. Everything seemed to be going fine when I began to install it, until I restarted the mac to find that only half of it (512 MB) is working. I found this very strange, considering the previous RAM...
If I was to buy an imac 27 with the standard 8GB of RAM, then add two 8GB crucial RAM in the free slots, would that be safe?
Or does each slot have to be filled with the same amount? Something tells me yes but I can't find the answer anywhere.
Reason being it would be nice to add 16GB to the...
Hi, I am going to buy a new mac laptop soon, have had a MB Air 11" (4GB RAM, core i5, 128GB SSD) for two years, and it is starting to slow down a lot. I want a powerful, future-proof and very portable Mac. I will mostly be using it for Lightroom editing, light Final Cut Pro use and smaller...
Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro "13 mid 2010. Upgraded my RAM (from 4 to 8), replaced my battery and placed a second hard drive a year ago. My Macbook was as new until a few days ago. It started crashing a few times. giving sometimes black screens, white screens, blue screens, green stripes all over...
Mac Pro 1.1 memory upgrade: My newly-acquired Mac Pro 1.1 has 6Gb, 4x1Gb on riser A and 4x512Kb on riser B. I've bought four 2Gb sticks, so plan to double the RAM to 12Gb. Nothing I've read on the web seems to suggest that "what goes where" matters with 1.1 RAM upgrades, apart from which slots...
Hi.
Normally an iMac late 2015, use 1867 MT/s (PC3-14900) SODIMM 204-pin.
Do someone know if it's possible to use.. 2133 MT/s (PC3-17066) SODIMM 204-pin (cheaper RAM) and then it downscale it to 1867 MT/s ?
So after switching out the original RAM, and replacing the original battery, my macbook booted perfectly, and everything seemed normal. Battery charged, RAM was registered and nothing else bothered me. Now, two days later, it's a whole different story. The machine is having trouble booting up...
