Question 1

My Macbook Pro is an early 2011 model serial # C02FN7CADH2G.  Is this product compatible?

Accepted Answer

Yes it will work. I'm running the same in my late 11 and they have the same spec for memory. Its nice to have the 16GB for keeping multiple applications open and for when I'm running my VM. Plus it really helps with running the latest OSX.

Question 2

can i use this memory on a mac mini late 2012 model?

Accepted Answer

First make sure to find out what the maximum amount of RAM you mini will take. Overdoing it can hurt your computer more than help.
With that in mind, if your mini can take 16GB of RAM, and the frequency (Which should be no problem since it is a 2012 model), I think you should have no problem.

You can also check the Crucial site, if I remember correctly they have the ability to check your computer online and tell you which of their memory mods will work best for your scenario.

Hope that helps.

Question 3

I'm convinced by all the videos I've watched that adding more memory to my early 2009 iMac would be a good thing to help me run more applications.  But what I still don't get is how do I know how much I should add?  Another 8GB?  Another 16GB?  And what are all the extra numbers on each one?  Does that match numbers somewhere on my iMac?

Here's what I have:
Processor:  2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Thank you very much.

Not sure what features the 2009 iMac shares with the mid 2010 iMac, but all the information you need to add or replace memory, including, "how to" instructions, can be conveniently accessed.   Go to the Apple drop down menu, select  "About This Mac," then click on "Memory;" in the lower right hand corner in very fine print is a quick link:  "Memory Upgrade Instructions."

Just in case this is an instance of Apple's new technology outpacing its older versions capacity to keep up, here is  -copy, pasted- from the Apple Support page the information you, are looking for:

Use Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) that meet all of these criteria:
PC3-8500
Unbuffered
Nonparty
204-pin
1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM

Maximum Memory for the early 2009 iMac is 8GB.  I am guessing your Mac came with 4GB, which means ordering 4GB (2x2GB).  "Use 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB modules in each slot for the iMac (Early 2009)."  I went with "Crucial,"  Memory Modules, per the recommendation of a few of Apple Support's techies.  Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Question 4

will this ram work in Macbook mid 2010?

Accepted Answer

It might but I wouldn't use DDR1333. Use instead  PC8500 DDR3 1066MHz 204 Pin RAM:

2 x 4.0GB PC8500 DDR3 1066MHz 204 Pin as your books really only support 8gb total. I've seen books with 16gb but they usually suffer inceidents...

Will it work on a iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011)?

Question 7

I have a Early 2011 Mac Book Pro " 15- Would this work on that? Please advise.

Accepted Answer

Yes I believe it should work just fine according to the specs released by apple. If your laptop is an A1286 model 15 in with the sandy bridge processor.

Question 8

will this be compatible with my macbook pro early 2011?

Accepted Answer

I put it into my early 2011 15-inch MacBook Pro and it works like a dream. If you have a different model than the 15-inch, you can always go to the crucial site and find your exact model through their menu system to be sure.

Question 9

Is it compatible with MacBook Pro 15 in early 2011?

Accepted Answer

Yup. That's what I bought it to install into and it's been working fine for a couple years.

Question 10

Will this work with MacBook (Mid 2010) - ModelID: MacBook7,1?

Accepted Answer

I'd use PC8500 DDR3 1066MHz SO-DIMM 204 Pin PC3-8500 Memory. Crucial or OWC Ram will work fine... 1333mhz chips have issues in mbp 7,1
