Upgrade of RAM MacBook Pro 13 (end 2011) (Crucial Vs Corsair)

• Intend to upgrade HARD + SSD Macbook Pro drive end 2011

  Hope you guys can help me with this simple question (if any):

  I plan go my Macbook Pro 13 inch end of 2011 this system of 'double disc' using the current HARD drive and a new SSD. I use OS X El Capitan.
  My plan is to take all my important files on the current 500 GB external HARD Drive USB drive and delete EVERYTHING ELSE. There is no problem.

  Then I open the computer, remove the HARD drive and the optical drive. I'll replace it with my new MAIN hard drive SSD HARD drive and put the HARD drive in courses where the optical drive was (with an adapter to fit) to be a 'secondary drive' where I store my photos, movies, videos, etc.

  When everything is back in place, my question is: if I turn on my MBP with cmd + R pushed down, the normal OS X Utilities screen will appear and I would like to reinstall OS X for this new SSD?

  Why not let the operating system installed on the HARD disk, since that will give you a backup of boot problems disk? As long as you clear the Macintosh HD partition and not the HARD whole, the volume of recovery disk should remain intact and usable.

• MacBook Pro 15 "end 2013 too slow performance

  Hello world

  My macbook pro 15 "end 2013 me294, Core i7 haswell 2.3 Ghz, 16 GB Ram, SSD PCI 256 GB, GT 750 m & Iris Pro.

  GeekBench is a crude tool that is useful for computers compare configured identically. Means "Identically configured" quite the same hardware running identically configured systems with identical changes, as appropriate.

  As says Geekbench works best when it is the only application running. Comparing the performance of your Mac to others requires the abandonment of all other open applications in addition to process who can have no user interface.

  To identify the processes that are running on your Mac in order to see how they affect the activity and performance of your Mac, use the activity monitor: use the activity monitor to your Mac - Apple Support.

• Wich USB 3.0 / 3.1 PCMCIA USB controller works best in a macbook pro 17 "early 2011?

  Hi people,

  why I had this idea before?

  I have an available PCMCIA slot in my macbook pro and would therefore be an opportunity to put in a USB 3.0 or (if already available) a 3.1 USB controller card.

  ... but: one who works best with EL CAPITAN? and with the SIERRA to come?

  did someone knows with this interesting topic?

  This product solves the problem:

  I bought a controller card - 3.0 - nano tech on eBay: http://www.ebay.de/itm/262393441049

  It works very well plug & play under sierra on a macbook pro in early 2011.

  but nowhere, a controller 3.1 must be found.

  Welcome, flo

• Is my MacBook Pro 15 "end 2013 compatible with Thunderbolt 3 devices (if you are using an adapter)

  I have a MacBook Pro 15 "end of 2013, 16 GB, 1 TB SSD, 2.3 GHz i7 running OS X 10.11.4." My SSD is maxed out so I plan to buy a box 2 Berry drive Thunderbolt and secure it with a 1 TB SSD.

  I know Thunderbolt enclosure 2 still available, but lightning 3 cases are starting to hit the market. I wonder if a Thunderbolt 3 box will be compatible. Because I'll probably replace it the MacBook Pro 12-18 months and I assume - rightly or wrongly - that Apple will adopt 3 bolt of lightning on the MacBook Pro, Mac Pro and iMac during this period, I would prefer Thunderbolt 3 for scalability.

  I am aware that the cables are physically different, and 3 bolt of Lightning has adopted the USB - C standard. My question is: if I buy the cable or a suitable adapter, I'll be able to use a box Thunderbolt 3? (I know there will be no performance difference; however, it is scalability).

  Thunderbolt 3 is backward compatible with earlier versions of Thunderbolt.

• MacBook pro 13 '' end 2013 display is distorted, restarts suddenly

  I have a Macbook Pro 13 "end of 2013 (ME864TU/A)

  I meet sudden reboots, which was not only a big problem lately, but he began to do this quite frequently, and now my screen gets distorted before those

  sudden reboots. And now, after the last restart suddenly, my left USB does not recognize any device. (My mouse was connected to there for 6 months and worked very well, and I used this port with my drive external HARD, not that too does not work). While what is happening, I look at something or listening to music, so I think that it is not connected to the programs I use. It does not occur on a specific program. It's just random.

  I am really frustrated. This happened to me before, and the top box Service modified Apple (I think it contains, keyboard, drums and some other hardware) and it seems to work fine until last week.

  I would add here last kernel log.

• Flash of the MacBook Pro 13 '' end 2012 expansion options

  I have a Macbook Pro 13 "end 2012 with 120 GB SSD and I'm looking to increase its storage capacity by using the extension flash connector." I want to buy the highest capacity and fastest flash memory, that I can find, but I am confused and scared to buy flash memory which is not compatible with my Mac. Someone would be kind enough to point out the best options? The more I read, more confused I get. Laughing out loud. Thank you.

  The expansion slot Flash is mainly for SD camera card connectivity.   Thunderbolt is a slot with many options for external storage.

  I want to install an old version of the Master Collection CS 4 (Upgrade) on my MacBook Pro running out of Yosemite.  I installed this on my previous MacBook which I've now updated since.  I have MS CS4 serial number allotted to me.  I don't have my serial number Adobe CS 3 Standard previous allotted to me.  How can I go about installing the Master Suite upgrade without the serial number CS 3?

  Hello Lori,

  You will need to CS3 serial number to install the upgrade.

  You can check the link given to find the serial number of your CS3: quickly find your serial number

• MacBook Pro 15 "Earlier 2011: is - this compatible with 16 GB of ram?"

  I am an owner of a memory of ram i7 processor of Earlier 2011 15 inch Macbook Pro with 4 GB (2x2gb).
  I want to upgrade to 16 GB, 2 x Kingston DDR3 1333 mhz KTA-MB1333 8 GB memory.
  The question is: are my motherboard, processor and SO ready to make full use of this ram memory? Or should I go with 2 x 4 GB instead?
  Additional advice will be accepted with gratitude. Thank you!

  PS: I'm under El Capitan already.

  Assuming that you are using this model special, you can improve it up to 16 GB of RAM. Please note that Apple supports only 8 GB of RAM, so apart from that upgrades are made at your own risk.

  Thank you for reading my question and dealing with my bad grammar

  The SSD can be improved, but not the RAM.

• Can I upgrade my current MacBook Pro or buy a new one?

  Model	MacBook Pro 13 inch 2010
  Processor	2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
  RAM	4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
  Graphics	NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB
  Storage	HARD DRIVE 250 GB
  OS X	10.10.5 Yosemite

  Hi, I have looked at upgrading my current laptop with some much needed performance boosters, but do not know if in the long run it is worth, or if I should save up for a newer model.

  The updates that I think first to replace my current HARD drive with an SSD 250 GB and secondly to replace my 4 GB of ram and 16 GB. (Officially, State Apple this machine does support 8GB, but it's been verified since it can take up to 16 GB).

  While I know that these two updates should improve the speed and performance of my pretty spectacular machine, roughy wonder how many years my phone will be usable for after the upgrade. The limiting factor main seems to be my processor, which I am aware might be an obstacle in the future. I understand that apple tend to make updates each new OS X only available for latest machines, and I fear that soon, they will be unavailable for Core 2 Duo models. Can anyone confirm this?

  So, I guess my question is, how to limit will be my processor to the duration of life/performance of my mac if I perform the above upgrades?

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

  It depends on.

  If you use a lot, I recommend to get a new MacBook. If you use too many, your MacBook Pro will be fine.
