I have a faulty ram (top) slot for a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 "i5. Can I install a 8 GB Ram in the slot below or is maximally 4 GB?
This was after the 3 beep error and I couldn't restart the Mac with one of the 2 GB of Ram into the lower slot.
Is there a way to test if the top housing is faulty or just dirty?
Thank you

Yes, the MBP will work with a single module of RAM installed, but there will be a slight performance decrease. A MBP 2012 will accept a module of 8 GB RAM.
Is there a way to test if the top housing is faulty or just dirty?
Install each RAM module individually in each slot, leaving the other empty. If the two RAM modules work in a slot and not the other, the slot is faulty. Sometimes the adjustment screw can resuscitate the slot. If this is not the case, make an appointment at an Apple store for a FREE evaluation.
Ciao.

On crucial.com, I chose my system I, mid-2012 MacBook Pro 15 inches. I want to move to 8 GB of ram, but I want to know if their DDR3L will work. On their site it says DDR3 is 1.35 volts and the DDR3L is 1.35 volts as well. They are both the same speed, 1600. What is the difference between the two and the DDR3L will work? My current ram is DDR3 4 GB and the speed is 1600. Thank you.

RAM upgrade for mid-2012 MacBook Pro question?
So, I bought some RAM Corsair (2 x 8 GB) to install in my MacBook Pro for mid-2012. It has been well over a month now and I get freezes and flaws that were not there when the Apple RAM stock has already been installed. My question is... are it freezes and the seeds one result of the brand of RAM I have installed (Corsair) or the fact that I am superior to the amount of 8 GB of RAM recommended for this laptop of Apple to the particular address?
Thank you.
As you can see here, your MBP can, indeed, support for 16 GB of RAM. However, DIMMs must meet Apple specifications which are often much more demanding that really meant DIMMS for PC can meet. One of the advantages of buying from OWC (in the link) is that they provide 100% support so their products need to be designed with the Mac in mind. If you have no problem with DIMM Apple, but you do with Corsair DIMMS, I would say getting them replaced or, better yet, to get a refund.

I just bought this MacBook. I switched from Windows to Mac. I had the Office 365 Digital University installed on my Windows PC and try to install it on my MacBook. I have Setup running and it is required to install the disk hard Mac or external seagate. Don't know which install on.
Hi Kenazzal,
When you install the software, it is usually best to install it on the same drive as the operating system on your Mac. It is usually Macintosh HD. The advantage that is the internal hard disk is generally faster transmission of information as an external drive and allows applications to launch and operate faster. In addition, installing an application to your external drive would prevent access to this application if the external hard drive was disconnected from your Mac.
All my best.

I have a MacBook Pro. I can't install the Flash Player updates. Help!
I can't install the Flash Player updates. Every time I try, I get an error message that says that the installation will not be interrupted; until I closed Safari. Well, when I left Safari, then press Retry. I get an error message indicating that installation cannot arrive at this time. I don't want my exposed computer, due to having an outdated version. I need help.
You must close the Safari, not only the window of the browser process.
If you do not know how to restart your Mac and then run the installation program downloaded before anything else.

WHAT IS THE BEST DISK CLEANER FOR A MIDDLE-2O12 MACBOOK PRO?
I have a mid-2012 MacBook Pro 13-inch (OS X El Capitan v. 10.11.2). Up to 8 GB of memory, I improved last month. The processor is Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz. It has a 500 GB hard drive and I have about 417 GB of free space available.
I would like to know which disk cleaner would be the best for me to use? I read on CleanMyDrive 2 and I want to know if it is really as good for Macs as they say it is.
None. Your Mac runs the maintenance in the background for you. The so-called Mac utility for cleaning can cause more harm than good on a Mac. Avoid them.

The Sierra of MacOS will propose for the Mid 2009 MacBook Pro in the near future?
I have a model Mid 2009 MacBook Pro and when I try to upgrade the software of OS systems to the Sierra, he refused my request to download because it "cannot be downloaded to this computer." I noticed other Mac computers, for example, iMac Mid 2009 or newer and MacBook Mid 2009 or more recent systems only one are close to mine are candidates to download the software, but the MacBook Pro is the only one that is not on this list for availability. So, my question to my question is, will be available Mid 2009 MacBook Pro updated to day for Sierra anytime soon? And if not, why?
Please let me know what your answer is as soon as possible.
Thank you!
My answer is no.
However, as long as I and everyone here, do not work for Apple, my answer is certainly not authoritative.
However, as I've used Apple computers for more than 30 years, he never had a case when they released an additional OS that works on previously excluded material.

I have a macbook pro and I can't get my 2544 HP desk jet printer to print in color. I have os 10.9.5. My printer will copy in color but not print
Hello
Welcome to the forums!
I read your post about how you seem to not be able to print in color on your Mac running the Mavericks, to your Deskjet 2544. I think that the base driver, or the driver AirPrint may be selected that could be the reason for having the option to print in black ink only.
Here are the steps I would suggest for you:
- Reset the printing system
- Repair disk permissions
- Restart the Mac.
- Download and install the full functionality driver: 2540 Deskjet HP all-in-One Printer series full feature software and drivers
You should now have the option to print in color.
Good luck
