MacBook Unibody Model A1342: Max ram in mid-2010 MacBook?

Fri, 29 Mar 2013 08:19:55 -0700

Apple says the maximum ram for the new MacBook is 4GB. Has anybody tried installing 8GB in it? Hoping the MB is similar enough to the 13" MacBook Pro to support 8GB.

Thanks!

iPhone 3G: 8gb hard drive switch to a 16gb, got the "parts"

Sat, 11 Sep 2010 06:15:35 -0700

Its might of been asked before. I know there's a flash drive built somewhere in the iphone.

Lets say I wanna switch out my 8gb hard drive for 16gb one. I have a phone, but it crapped out on me enough to replace it with a friends phone that was just cracked. (Replaced the front panel)

Can it be done?

MacBook Pro 4.1 15" (A1260 - Non Unibody): 8Gigs of ram working or not?

Fri, 16 Dec 2011 20:00:33 -0700

Hello,

My question related to the pre unibody macbook pro's (the 4.1, which is the last of the non-unibody macbook pro's) is if it is possible to stack 8 Gigabytes of ram in it. Currently I have placed an SSD in it and have 4GB of ram. With an upgrade to 8GB I think it should be able to "keep up" for the next couple of years for me. And since memory is much cheaper (even though it is DDR2) than the time I chose to upgrade to four I wanted to know if it was possible.

Back "then" I found multiple topics stating that only 6 gigabytes of ram was possible. However since then Apple seems to have release a new firmware update which made is possible for some Macbook Pro's.

One topic I could find regarding this question is: http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/41766...

Even though some people with 8GB of ram in their MBP have some odd issues (overheating, being slower than before). I was wondering if this would be still the case, also when you are running Lion? Because the persons who had the problem there were running Snow Leopard.

I hope someone can clarify this. I really would like to have the 8GB of ram so my MBP wil be really snappy again even when running virtual machine's on it.

MacBook Unibody Model A1342: Why 8GB RAM upgrade failed? (Computer sees only 4GB)

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:27:46 -0700

Hi!

So I've decided to put 8GB RAM instead of 2GB available on start in my Macbook Mid-2010 A1342 (White). After reading this page: http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/16998...

as one user suggested it should work I put:

2x Kingston 4GB SODIMM KVR1066D3S7/4G, rated 1066MHz into My MacBook. It sees only 4GB after boot. Bank 1 is filled and Bank 0 is empty. I checked each RAM separately in the bottom bank and it works. In upper bank it gives just beeps. No clue what went wrong - I see lots of stuff that people are capable of making A1342 8GB RAM machine.

Please help me!

Regards,

Andy

MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo Models A1226 and A1260: Can my early 2008 MPB support 8 GB of memory under Lion?

Thu, 21 Mar 2013 10:18:04 -0700

Hi, I found on Yahoo a 4 GB memory module compatible with my early 2008 MBP ( check http://www.amazon.com/Komputerbay-DDR2-S... ).

Can I put 2 of these modules in my MBP running Lion OS X and get 8 GB of RAM in my machine ? Or is it limited to 6 GB ? Many thanks

I have an iMac 3.06GHz, EMC No. 2211.

It currently has 4GB memory. I have read that unofficially it can be upgraded to 6GB (4GB + 2GB). I just wish to know if I can upgrade to 8GB (4GB + 4GB).

iPod Touch 3rd Generation: Which digitizer should I choose to fix an iPod 3g 8gb?

Tue, 07 Aug 2012 19:04:49 -0700

Hello guys!

Have a sort of a problem here, a friend of mine asked to replace his broken glass, but im not sure what should i replace it with! I see everywhere that 3g digitizer for 32gb & 64gb doesnt fit the 8gb model, the even put it in the discription on ebay! I also saw posts saying that 3g uses the 2g digitizers, but then again there are posts contradicting this information, saying that the connectors are different! Im kinda lost...

Is 8gb model standalone product? Does it use a unique type of the digitizer?

Please help! Thank you!

MacBook Pro 15": RAM Upgrade - CPU Panic

Tue, 02 Apr 2013 19:49:47 -0700

Hello,

I own a MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2010. Currently I have 4GB of RAM and I wanted to upgrade them to 8GB. So, I bought these:

2 x Corsair 4GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory Module - CM3X4GSD1066

Corsair - Memory - 4 GB - SO DIMM 204-pin - DDR3 - 1066 MHz / PC3-8500 - CL7 - unbuffered - non-ECC

I easily installed them on my MacBook Pro but on the boot I receive errors like "CPU Panic" and other "Non-sense" error codes :)

Are these products not compatible with my MacBook Pro (although the specifications should work) or am I doing something wrong here?
