Memory - Macbook Pro 2011

Help, please! I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch end 2011. I want to upgrade the memory of 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) to 16GB (2 x 8 GB).

Can I buy 16GB and they say it's for the MacBook Pro 2011, but it says on the site of Apple 8GB maximum memory.

Everyone is running 16GB and it works fine?

I upgraded to El Capitan, and my mac seems slower.

Back in 2011 8 GB SODIMM costs $1000 + if they still existed.  Apple tested the SODIMM 4 GB at reasonable price and never reviewed the hardware older after 8 GB SODIMM fell to $50.

I run 16 GB Crucial in my MBP 2011 very well.  Crucial or OWC (macsales.com) sell RAM reliable and provide guarantees for life.

  • It is possible (and useful) to upgrade my Macbook Pro 2011 (early)?

    My Macbook Pro 2011 (start) 13 "has served me very well. I took the approach to resist many updates over the past 1.5 years).

    However, in the last 6 weeks, it really began to slow down. I'm not too keen on the storage in the Macbook Pro 2015 options so not sure I want to buy immediately. I have never tried to upgrade the macbook - so I don't know how easy/possible/useful it is to do. Here is my card... can someone tell me if this can be improved and if so, if she's worth ($-wise)?

    Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz

    4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

    Intel HD Graphics 3000 384

    Free GB 498 296 GB

    Contains 2 memory slots, which each accept a DDR3 1333 MHz memory bar. Each unit already has 2 GB.

    No game - I use it mainly for work (freelance marketing/communication - writing, presentations, artistic director) and the House (photos/home movies, internet, backup of the device).

    Slow down especially occurs in switching between programs, using products MS - sometimes opening and closing old/new docs. Internet connectivity usually ok but slow switching between windows in Safari.

    Any suggestions, help would be very appreciated. I want to take a decision quickly before it begins to die.

  • In order to get updates of Firefox, I need to install El Capitan.  El Capitan work well on a MacBook Pro 2011?

    Have a 2011 MacBook Pro, just received a message from Firefox saying that they support is more Yosemite 10.10.5 in a few months (updates, security updates etc.) and I need to improve my ios.  Question... are there problems with El Capitan on a MacBook Pro 2011?  Thank you

    not that I've heard of. You will need to make sure that you have at least 4 GB of ram on board, except that you should be good to go. Log in the App store, grab a copy and follow the instructions on the screen. You may need to reboot at least once...

    Good luck

  • I can feed my Macbook Pro 2011 usb port

    Is it possible to power (charge) my MacBook Pro 2011 USB port?  I had the case where I forgot my card (or used my MacBook more than expected) and he should be charged.  Since normally the USB provides power, I didn't connect it to a power outlet (via adapter).

    I am running OSX El Capitan.

    is it because of power problems?

    Take it back to the Apple Store and ask them to check it out. It should be under warranty. Bring the MBP along too. It sounds like there might be a problem with it.

    I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility. However, the next time you start, the startup process is blocked to halfway to new (on the screen with the toolbar and the status of apple). I want a more permanent solution to reinstall the operating system every time. Would appreciate someone's suggestions and thanks in advance.

    Replace your hard drive.

    You have a backup of trust? If not, buy a disc of exterrnal for that as well.

    The progress bar from the left end at the beginning of the commissioning indicates that your drive has been so damaged, it could not be mounted. Five minutes of progress bar is shown as it does the equivalent of disk utility (ERD [Directory]). If you have reinstalled several times and the problem is not fixed, your drive is in solid form.

  • compatible memory Macbook Pro 2009

    Hi everyone I have a laptop macbook pro mid-2009 intel core 2 duo 2.53 GHZ. I'm hoping to buy a ' 8 GB Corsair PC3 - 10666 DDR3 - 1333 SODIMM RAM (2 x 4 GB) Memory Module Kit "someone knows it will work OK? ".


    I would say no, since this page Corsair indicates that memory is for Mac 2011

    While your Mac uses 1067 MHz memory, the memory is 1333 MHz. often a memory more high speed does not work.

  • How to Speed Up my MacBook Pro 2011... ?

    I know the PC no need to defragment... (and has been a while since I had a PC...) But assuming that slow, long time loading with a MacBook Pro should be similar?  I am an artist, workshops and have used my laptop to interface and connect frame PowerPoint presentations, PDF files to the spotlight (rarely)... and have Creative Suite and do lot of work of art, including some digital painting, lots of photos of my paintings and so on.  It has been my workhorse.  I regularly save my large picture and video files to a few Seagate external drives, to keep the memory on the MacBook, as you'll see in my store that I post below.

    Creation of new software, operating systems, I know that it is inevitable that my machine will become obsolete, but functionally obsolete or slow is one thing, not being not able to download the latest bells and whistles is another.

    All of the suggestions.  I have a former student who took his MacBook Pro to a one hour by car guy, who would have been cleaned and accelerated his.  The idea of falling for someone, well... before I do that I want to know if it's legitimate or recommended?  My operations work all... but just that there are some lag, latency well sometimes serious.  I have several times now, I had to force the stop to get the little ball stops with no happening of the operation and the thing command option ESC doesn't seem to always want to come to force a program application to close.

    Here's the low down on my system...

    Any suggestion would be appreciated... Thank you

    Do not download stuck in a Windows mentality.  The HARD drive is not a Defrag.  OSX tends to take care of himself.

    There are two changes of material, that you can do to improve the performance of your Mac.  A 201ll MBP can accept up to 16 GB of RAM.  If this isn't the case, 16 GB RAM, install at least 8 GB.  The best sources of RAM compatible Macs are OWC and Crucial.

    Even better is to install an SSD.  Start and stop times will be considerably reduced and when you work on a resources intensive applications you will be rewarded with a much better response and duration of treatment.  As with RAM, OWC and Crucial SSD you are the best solution.  Avoid Samsung, too many complaints with them.

    If you download and view a report of Etrecheck, perhaps, we can see some software problems that may slow you down:

  • MacBook pro 2011 - starts greenish screen not

    Hi all

    I wonder what is happening to my macbook pro.

    Product: macbook pro start 2011-2 GHz - 8 GB ram - running os 10.11.4

    symptoms: suddenly stopped last week when I was watching a movie. Note that the fans were noisy given that the weather was warm and the hot computer as well. Now it starts but won't go to the part of connection. It shows a greenish screen with weird block lines. Please see the pictures attached.

    Looks like it could be the graphics card.

    I tried to clear the NVRAM, boot in safe mode and reinstall in wifi, but that did not help

    I tried to get an appointment at the apple shop local, but the waiting time is just crazy...

    Thank you for your support.

    Charles

    Use the Installation of Snow Leopard original CD and see if you can access disk utility and run first aid on the HARD drive.

    If you need, ask.

    Ciao.

  • MacBook Pro 2011 died following upgrade to el Capitan.

    Maxed out 2011 (with built-in dvd) 15 "MacBook Pro DIED after El Captain upgrade."

    I tried SMC and variations on this theme that you find on the web and in the brains of friends.

    Green light is on the power plug, never falters, change or flashes.

    After all, computer is still dead and dormant.

    Hi, bobfromhampton berries!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. After reading your post, I understand that your MacBook Pro is not on as planned; the MagSafe power adapter displays a green light, but the computer itself will not feed. I rely on my Mac every day, so I definitely want to make sure that yours does not work as expected.

    Reset the SMC has been a great step in this situation. Since it did not help to get power from the computer, I recommend you put the computer in a service provider authorized Apple or Apple Retail Store for an inspection. You can find places, find contact information and define the reserves by visiting the following Web site.

    Alternatively, you can look in the service for your MacBook Pro here: Response Service - Mac notebooks

  • Windows 8.1 on Macbook Pro 2011

    Hello

    I try to install Windows 8.1 on my Macbook Pro 15 "2011 model running El Capitan

    I use Boot Camp and a 8GB USB DRIVE

    Firstly I have only two startup options Boot Camp, not three like I see in a lot of guides on how to do the installation.

    My options are:

    1. get the latest software for Windows Apple support

    2 install Windows 7 or newer

    After that I've marked both options download works, but once it's done I get a message telling me that the InstallationRecommandations does not exist.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance

  • Cannot install Windows 8 on retina Macbook Pro 2011

    I try to install and run Windows 8 on my Macbook Pro 15 "retina end 2011 with OS 10.10.5."

    I read a ton of forums, and they say all get a Windows 8 ISO from Microsoft Web site. I did it.

    Then, they say get a Virgin USB key and plug it in. I did, and I put the ISO on my USB external drive.

    Then he said: open Boot Camp Assistant, what I do, but then it does not match what say all forums. When I open the Boot Camp Assistant, he goes to the Introduction page. I click CONTINUE and the next page says SELECT TASKS. The only two available tasks are to "Download the latest software from Apple support" or "install Windows 7 or later.

    I select both, it asks me to select my destination drive, what I do, then click "CONTINUE".

    It downloads the Windows support software.

    Then I get an error message that says "Installer disc cannot is, wait a few minutes for something (I forget exactly).»

    So I wait and nothing happens and I'm back on the screen SELECT TASK.

    ANY HELP MUCH APPRECIATED.

    Greetings Peter Degaillande1,

  • Card mother MacBook pro 2011

    Hello

    I have a MacBook Pro 17 "2011 and she finished by having the video problem. Fortunately, Apple has launched its program of replacing the motherboard for this model. Now, a year later the same problem occurred. I'm a bit worried, if Apple wants to make cars in the future, if they have a breach critical and it keeps happening again. Apple agreed to replace the mother Board again, but what confidence should I that the problem occurs again another time?

    A question comes to mind, if they install a logic Board revised

    where the original problem has been improved to not repeat the question

    or if they are just using old stock parts (N.O.S./O.E.M) design.

    In this case, if the new spare part remained virtually unchanged

    the original part, then a quality of the original repair

    logic board by a first-rate quality repair shop can be much better.

    {You can get a repaired and tested logic board replacement

    at a certain point, instead of maybe a new-old-stock, or one built

    the exact specifications of the same as the original; a revised version is better if

    they have a. If not, repair of high-quality original L/B is good.}

    That only people with parties in their hands can know if there is one

    revised design improved available spare part - and if it is

    What is installed, which should avoid re-facts.

    In the past, old pieces new stocks had been used to repair products covered by

    warranty; and these items also failed in a manner similar to known some

    previous proceedings. Some iMac graphics cards, for example, saw that this.

    If there is a doubt, remember to unload the repaired computer initially

    opportunity and look at another model which may not be a problem.

    Yet those 17-inch models have been so nice when it is set to a desktop computer...

  • "Repair of battery" after 200 cicles (macbook Pro 2011)

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro from mid-2011 and after around 200 cicles, he says "service battery", but the battery works perfectly well, of course it takes only 2 hours or less because it is already 5 years (and we all know that it is a complete lie that the batteries takes 8 hours - I don't guess if you turn away and look at him without touching a single key).

    In any case... I formatted the computer and reinstalled the OSX and the sign disappeared. But after a few days, it reappeared. I tried to restart the MSC, but nothing has changed.

    I read on some pages, that after a few OSX update, many macbook Pro from this year had the same problem, so that you would to buy a new battery, even when there is nothing wrong with it.

    Any suggestions?

    There is probably something wrong with it, otherwise the system would not report it. Two hours is remarkably short for a good work of this model battery. And besides: battery fault may start to swell and cause serious damage to your Macbook. I don't think not twice before replacing a battery of 5 years.
