How to Upgrade RAM in a 2009 / 2010 MacBook Pro - Memory Replacement - MacBook Tutorial

www.macmixing.com - In this video tutorial I will show you guys how to get the most out of your audio / video production. Having a sufficient amount of RAM or Memory will greatly increase your production work-flow on your Mac, and make it run MUCH FASTER. I got a wild hair on me somewhere are decided to upgrade the RAM in one of my MacBook Pros. In this video I am taking this MacBook from 4GB's or RAM to 8GB. Luckily MacMixing.com's inventory could use a tutorial like this so I decided to film it and share it with all of you. Upgrading your MacBook memory WILL NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY! Apple strongly encourages upgrading the RAM or HARD DRIVE within your computers. So much, they actually include it within the User manuals you can find at the link below. I hope this was helpful and make sure to BACKUP your information as I cannot be held responsible for anything that may happen to you computer or the information contained on your hard drive if a mistake happens due to improper care when upgrading your RAM. Thanks again guys.
HERE IS A LINK TO THE MANUALS SECTION OF THE APPLE WEBSITE. FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT MODEL LAPTOPS. THEY SHOULD ALL BE SIMILAR TO THIS VIDEO.

[@mailwin72]

Many thanks for uploading this video! My girlfriend just upgraded her Macbook Pro from 4 to 8 GB and is quite happy with the results!

[@r1fftastic]

Gahh, always disconnect the battery before doing any work on the inside of your laptop!

[@XelaEditz]

Do you need to change the processor in the course of changing the RAM?

[@dilleralex]

With that RAM upgrade your mac win at least more 2/3 years right?

[@patrickcromwell8825]

Just did this and I’m still getting the three beeps on my computer when I try to turn it on. Any suggestions on what I did wrong / how to fix it?

[@21gambit]

Link where to buy the exact RAM FOR 2010 mac?

[@AWcatcher11]

did u lose any memory when upgrading the ram?

[@JZM006]

[@HadesunderworldENT69]

Who did you buy the ram from?

[@loopheadodb8578]

hey what's the result?

[@reardelt]

This is a stupid question. Since 13' mbp 2009 uses 4gb 1067 MHz RAM. Can i upgrade it to a 4GB 1600MHz RAM or actually, a 16 GB 1600MHz Ram?

[@stefanoalderighi8993]

Great Work! Should I upgrade the Os from 10.6.8 to 10.9. ? My macbook is a MB990T/A it was made in 2009

[@ManuelitoRivera21]

[@ShawneeUnion]

[@maravilloso002]

[@raghavaroyal6837]

[@zlyable]

[@Sangrex2]

are there any specific ram boards you need for the 2010 macbook pro 15" a1286 model? is there a max amount of memory the mobo can take? ddr3/4?

[@mae1712]

Just use any plain laptop ram... as long as its under 8gb

[@advcomsyst]

Not any memory, needs ddr3-1066ghz pc3-8500

[@claraoswin2533]

Can someone help me? I have a MacBook Mid-2010 that is on its last legs, so I bought a 2012 (I hate retina, already tried it) and was going to upgrade to 8 GB of RAM, so I purchased it. However, my old Mac (2010) has the same RAM DDR3 10667 that I just bought. Would it be possible to just transfer the memory I have here to my new Mac or would it be too worn out/unwise to do it? Because if theres a chance it'll malfunction then I'll just install the new one but if not I'll just return this. Thanks in advance for any help.

[@mae1712]

Ram doesn't really wear out... unless its been used improperly. (overclocked)

[@sarajkerr]

Question though. My RAM, once removed, did not have the same "sticker" as yours. I have had my Mac for several years and purchased it at Best Buy in their Apple Department, could this by why? The company name on the old RAM I removed says "Hynix" Korea 05 by "Eco."

[@Mike913123]

Mine is the same Macbook as in this video as well. The original RAM that came with my mac is Hynix Korea 09. I think Apple uses different sources for some of their internal components. I just upgraded to 8GB RAM and there is a noticeable difference in speed when working with multiple applications. I also just replaced the original battery. Wow, it lasted almost 5 years!! The HD cable failed and I had to get that replaced...thankfully it wasn't the HD, though I am going to replace the HD with an SSD in January. Together with the RAM upgrade and the new SSD, my mac should be blazing fast!

[@JZM006]

watching on my 2009 macbook pro

[@rv3089]

best buy charges 39.99 for this service, i can just do it myself. thanks! :)

[@ludyrosalesdelossantos5868]

If i have a “2.4 GHz Inter core 2 duo” im able to upgrade up to 16gb?

[@nothinghere9135]

same here please reply if someone knows this

[@Wolfpack9able]

GB Ram is based off of Memory not your processor.

[@Wolfpack9able]

What MacBook Pro do you have?

[@JZM006]

probably not

[@kinskifilms]

Very helpful video. What kind of a psychopath would give this a thumbs down?

[@raghavaroyal6837]

Hi sir
Mac 10.6.8 how to next upgrade
make one ☝️ video

[@nclsDesign]

Are you talking about an OS upgrade?

[@johnthegreek1980]

Would a back up be necessary before changing the ram?

[@Killrmonky-qh3ik]

johnthegreek1980 no

[@Paparazzionsite]

You should back up to be safe

[@raghavaroyal6837]

Please

[@raghavaroyal6837]

Please sir send me reply

[@benjamingold5283]

why is this generation of mac not compatible with 16 gb of ram? and how can you tell?

[@AlexOsbaldo]

Benjamin Gold it is

[@meldeer6253]

thank you i liked the comments you made dont do this you will screw something up stright to the point lmao

[@justinthomas1465]

Will 16gb work?

[@thinhpham5995]

No, babe… and the laptop accepts the bus 1066 only.

[@Nezzigram]

Could you go 16gb?

[@SChapps]

I have the same MacBook but the apple store doesn't have RAM compatible with it. Where can I get RAM that will work? I'm in the UK so a UK site would be helpful

[@sarajkerr]

I recommend crucial.com

[@ozzlikemike]

Sara K-B just got 16gb ram upgrade from crucial.com
:)

[@andrewkeys]

+OZZ G CHIVUNDA could you please let me know if the 16gb is compatible with your MacBook Pro cause Ive seen some videos that it does not recognise it. Thanks

[@ossacarf96]

Actually you can put 16gb of RAM in here...

[@user-vm8qz7iq2o]

[@awesomestuff6477]

Jack Jones hmmm something metal looks down.
