I know it’s OLD, but this video isn’t DATED. Actually very informative and succinct, and I find most tutorials insufferably full of banter. Another thank you in the sea of gratitude in this comments section.
This was super helpful! Even though I have a mid 2009, this was still pretty accurate. The only difference was that the labels were face down in order to line up with the slot.
Thanks man. Waiting for my ram to come in the mail now. Can't wait to install more ram on my rapidly slowing MacBook Pro. I've already done this for my Mac mini, upgraded to 16GB RAM and it was pretty easy! So I'm looking forward to doing this for my MacBook as well 👍
Nice Video, I added a video response, hope that's OK. There are a couple of things in my video that help show how the memory lines up in the slots with the plastic retaining clips. Also it's good to note that the front 4 and 2 side screws go in at a slight angle to help prevent stripping! :) Nicely done though.
Thanks! This really helped me know how to open and locate my RAM. I was getting those 3 beeps of death which was a pain, slotting in the RAM properly fixed the problem! Nice one!
Cara beleza? teu Mac rodou os 16gb de boas? sentiu mta diferença? tenho um Mac Pro 13" Late 2011.... coloquei um SSD 1TB Samsung Evo nele....senti uma diferença no boot e pra abrir apps...mas o desempenho do mac continua com um certo lag pra algumas aplicações....estou considerando comprar o kit 2x8GB , vale a pena? Outra coisa...qual barramento vc usou ? eu sei que esse modelo utiliza o 1333...mas vi alguns americanos, dizendo que colocaram 1600 e rodou.... achei estranho. valew irmão !
Arthur Ferreira blza brother! Melhorou demais pra mim q uso apps de áudio . Usei 2x8 1333 corsair 9-9-9-24 (1333 pq meu mac pedia isso - inicio 2011) não testei outro barramento... O boot do mac não mudou tanto, mas os renders e o uso dos plugins ficaram ótimos. Tbm agilizou a placa de áudio externa que uso pra captação. Tmj.
Opa beleza !! ah dahora !! então vai resolver bem pra mim...também rodo programas de audio e placa externa (M-Audio) .... 4gb soh aqui ta complicado...vou pegar 16gb mac memory da Corsair !! maravilha !! eu resolvi a velocidade do boot e abertura de apps com o SSD...vale muito a pena !! Obrigado brother !! tmj

The video worked for me. One point to make. Try and find a well fitting phillips head screw driver. You do not want to strip a screw head. Second, my MacBook Pro (early 2011) screws had a liberal amount of thread locker that had been applied to the screws. It was a little nerve racking to break the screws loose, the first time. FWIW, I also replaced my HDD with an SSD, for a couple of reasons. There are 4 short stubs that are fitted to the side rails of the HDD. These need to be removed and transferred to the replacement SSD. NOTE. The screw head on these stubs required a #6 - Torx screw driver. This is really small. I had a torx multi-tool that did go down to #6. Fortunate for me. I could have improvised a way to remove the stubs, but the #6 torx tool is the proper way to do it, for my make/model machine.
Thanks for a great video, i just installed 8GB into my MBP using this as a guide. And just FYI - "grounding" is the de-static word you're looking for. Thanks again.
Put the SSD into the original bay and move your HDD into the data doubler. That way you can utilize the SSD speed. The Optical Drive bay doesn't support SSD speeds (6 Gigabits), it supports only around 3 Gigabits.
Thank's for your tutorial. I'm going to do a 2012 mac book pro 9.2 to 16 gigs, and the mac forms say not supported, but keep in mind in 2012 they never had 8 gig sticks, so buy that said, I called Ramjet who I bought the ram from and they said that mac needs to upgrade there forms. So thanks again for showing how easy it is to install the ram.
I bought 8 gb DDR from Crucial and it wouldn't work properly and so returned it. I then purchased 8gb from Kensington and my Mac worked perfectly straight away. Bin the Crucial and get the Kensington if you want your Mac to operate correctly!!
I'm not sure if the ID based Crucial has offices in CA, but Corsair, based in DE has an office in CA pretty close to Apple so they send their RAM to Apple for testing. Therefore Corsair is another considerable brand. Kingston is completely CA based so I guess it sends RAM to Apple although I have no idea. Corsair proclaimed that they get Apple to test the RAM if you buy the (surprisingly cheaper than standard branding) "Mac Memory" branded version on the back of its packaging.
What happens if Sierra doesn't recognize the 8 GB upgrade? Disregard--needed to restart my computer and now it recognizes it. Wonderful, simple video. Thanks!
Your video was really helpful Can't wait to do it myself. But before I go buy the ram which one would be compatible with my MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008)? Thanks so much.
I just purchased a Macbook pro. It was manufactured mid 2012. I contacted Apple directly and they confirmed it is upgradable to 16GB. I also used the Crucial.com system scan (free) and they also stated I could upgrade to 16GB.
Just an FYI, whenever you are tightening screws do not tighten them down all the way on one side first. Start them all over then rotate as you tighten, i.e. as in this example, tighten down one the way at 12 o'oclock then one at 6 then 3, then 9, back to 12, etc. Just like you would a car wheel. ; )
Hey Justin, Thanks for taking the time to post this video. It's very helpful. I have the exact same computer and I've found the exact same RAM (I think). I'm really tempted to buy it and upgrade the RAM but I'm scared of one thing. A lot of reviews I read on the sellers website talk about how it doesn't work, or worse yet, how the RAM fails after a year of use or so. This video is three years old now, so I would like to know, how long did the RAM in this laptop last for? Thanks for your help!
Loved your tutorial. I am ready to do it myself. Do word you were looking for was discharge. Not sure if you figured. Thanks again, I can tell you have a good heart. Character seems in short supply these days or is that just me? Peace
awesome! i have a question though. when i take out the previous memory cards, ill still have all my applications and video games i have installed on my macbook right? like nothing will change. the new memory cards will just add more space/memory right?
Did he just say "Do this on a carpet". I know electrical static shock doesn't happen often, but should be avoided. Don't open your computer on a carpet. Just saying.
Wow, great job super easy. Now I need to upgrade my hard drive from 250gb to a higher capacity one, I'm no Macbook expert however, do you have how to videos? I need to transfer all of my info over to the new drive. I've heard time machine but honestly I have never used it. One thing is for sure that I don't use PC anymore, lol Thanks
I saw a different video before yours and the guy pushed Cntrl plus other keys together while starting the computer. Your is much simple. You just push the start key. Are there different ways of powering the computer after the upgrade? Thanks for your video
What size screw driver should I use? I tried using a 40mm and I got all of the small ones and one long screw out but am having trouble with the last two long screws. Thanks
apple recommends, 4x2 a total of 8 gigs, but if you need more u can get 8x2 that is 16 gigs of ram, u might spend about $100 for 16 gigs of ram , which is fairly cheap.
Hey. I´m kind of beginner in computers and i have two questions. What is the "name" of the ram which is in the macbook pro straight from the box, and how much is it in money?
The word you're looking for at around 2:55 is degauss. :) Thanks for this though! I'm changing the ram cards in my Macbook Pro soon so this helped a lot!
Is brand an important issue....I heard Apple uses Samsung memory! I saw Corsair memory 4B*2 with price so low...I wonder if it's good enough compared to the original one? Any view?
I subbed to you just so you know but I have a question. Is it the same process for a macbook? I don't have the pro and I only have 1 GB RAM so I was wondering? Thanks
One thing that should be advertised is the discharge of power. And grounding yourself by touching some metallic point on the computer. I thought you did that but I don't remember. My main concern is that the battery still feeds power and while its safe to assume the power release is minimal, you may want to advertise the dangers of replacing RAM with a powered system.
Does it always take you 2 minutes to start you mac after installing the new RAM or is it just the first time after installing the ram and the rest of the time it is faster?
1. if you do video editing or gaming then totally worth it and a big difference if you check email and do light browsing no not at all 2. Performance with large programs like games and video editing is extremely fast is it safe yes very safe as long as you know how to install it properly 3. apple says 8gb max because on a laptop most people dont do anything that requires more than 8gbs. I hope this helped you out.
My mac turns to a piece of lag with lots of programs open. 4 gigs is NOT enough for lion, let alone the upcoming mountain lion. I need to upgrade pronto lol. Mine is early 2011 but core i5 13 inch. Will i see a large improvement, or will multitasking be the only improvement?
Just installed the 8Gb. So far so good. I wonder if the vram will get more boost if upgrading to 16Gb... Even tho I see no need to pump it to 16 yet. ...yet
Hello! Thanks for this tutorial. Can I add a 16 RAM to my A1278 MAC? I don't know if it will be too much for the computer to take but I don't really want to buy a whole new computer since my MacBook is good and well taken care of, and its cheaper. Thanks!
I just got my 8gb upgrade in the mail and tried installing it just like this, but it only recognizes it as 4gb. I'm going to remove it and try installing it again, but in the mean time are there any other suggestions?
Great video, very easy to follow. I wonder, could you show me how to access the RAM compartment?. It seems to me that the bottom RAM stick is not connected properly, and it will not pop out so I can push it in. I am thinking that if I access the RAM compartment some other way I mat be able to properly connect the bottom RAN stick, as it is right now it only recognizes 8 GB instead of the 16 GB actually installed (but not properly connected.) Thank you in advance.
Hi, i just recieved my macbook pro 2011 edition and this is my first time to install RAM on my own, i am wondering if it is possible to install more RAM such as 16 gb or 32, thank you
Thanks Justin for the video. Much appresciated. (End of the video you had focus difficulty) 🙂 2024 and my faithfull Mac Book Pro Late 2011 still going on... Replaced DVD with SDD Disk. This will be its final upgrade to 16GB (2 x 8GB modules) Speed: 1333MHz (PC3-10600) Runing on macOS Hig Sierra. If possible it sould be able to use it for a few more years...
almost 5 years later and this video is still helping people! Thanks buddy!
Tom Gibson yes sir!
& now 7 years 👍🏻
7 years.
@@pap0rosa Did the ram work successfully? If so, did it really help with performances?
@@FruitloopLeviathan It sure did & still works today 🤜🏻🤛🏻✌🏻
here on 2019 and still a helping hand
Alvaro León 13 is there anything special that need to be done before swapping out ram? Like is there special files that can be lost cause of ram?
@@TheCanineGuy no, ram handles only processes, doesnt keep files
13 years ago and still helping out big dawg. Thank you and god speed
Almost 8 years later and this video is still helping people.thanks buddy 👊🏼
I know it’s OLD, but this video isn’t DATED. Actually very informative and succinct, and I find most tutorials insufferably full of banter. Another thank you in the sea of gratitude in this comments section.
7 years later and this video is still helping people! all worked so easily. thanks!
12 years ago and still a helping hand.
Thank you. I had never opened a computer before. Your video helped me to install new RAM and I may be more bold in the future.
11 Years later, you helped me out! Love from London 🤝
You're correct on that one. The max on most models is 8 gb for Mac.
This was super helpful! Even though I have a mid 2009, this was still pretty accurate. The only difference was that the labels were face down in order to line up with the slot.
Can’t believe I was about to pay someone to do this! Thank you so much
Thanks dude. I just bought 8GB memory. I'll watch this again when the RAM arrive in a few days.
Worked perfectly, thanks so much! My computer is now lightning fast again 😊
Thanks man. Waiting for my ram to come in the mail now. Can't wait to install more ram on my rapidly slowing MacBook Pro. I've already done this for my Mac mini, upgraded to 16GB RAM and it was pretty easy! So I'm looking forward to doing this for my MacBook as well 👍

Nicely done though.
Cheers for this vid, followed and successfully updated from 4gb to 8gb. Defiantly noticing the difference too
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It was very helpful
Thank you! Followed your advice exactly. Everything worked and as a computer novice I fixed it myself. I am sure you have helped many.
Followed your instructions and upgraded my Macbook Pro this evening. Thanks for the advice.
Thanks! This really helped me know how to open and locate my RAM. I was getting those 3 beeps of death which was a pain, slotting in the RAM properly fixed the problem! Nice one!
Thank you very much! Today I installed 16gb watching your tutorial. Regards from Brasil 🇧🇷

Thanks for the tip brother! I just order my RAM. I can't wait to install it!

thanks for this, dude. I just installed 8GB into my macbook pro easily with this video. also upgraded my imac from 4GB to 12GB. woot!
Excellent. Mine is from early 2011. It's listed on the crucial website as 16GB compatible too. Thanks.

9 years later and i love mac 2011 its still amazing although it cant play tripple AAA games its amazing for other uses
Very well done video, good steps, and thank you for the link to amazon for the RAM! Well done man
Is there any significant difference between the 8gigs ram and 16gigs ?
Loved your tutorial. I am ready to do it myself. Do word you were looking for was discharge. Not sure if you figured. Thanks again, I can tell you have a good heart. Character seems in short supply these days or is that just me? Peace
Thanks! Helped me clean out and reseat my ram! No more vertical lines or freezing!
awesome! i have a question though. when i take out the previous memory cards, ill still have all my applications and video games i have installed on my macbook right? like nothing will change. the new memory cards will just add more space/memory right?
Hi Justin, thanks for keeping it simple. Great Tut. Would upgrading RAM for the late 2008 MBP be similar?
this is great, but under no circumstance should you EVER do this on a carpeted surface... use an antistatic mat or wooden table.
+AJ DiGregorio bit ironic how advice is given to touch metal for avoiding static, but carpet is totally fine lol.
BULLSHIT
Is corsair a good product? I am thinking about getting the amazon deal but I want to know if I am going to get the best bang for my buck.
I'm so glad you can do this. Do you need to act like you're better than everyone else though?
Where do you purchase your ram from and about how much should I expect to pay? what type of ram is best?
Thanks in advance...
12 years after this video still helping people like me . Would it be 16 Gb too much ?
yes that would cost about 25£ however go on crucial and use the system scanner to see what is compatible
kudos! i just did mine (15inch mbp 09) and it worked like a charm.. thanks dude!
Did he just say "Do this on a carpet".
I know electrical static shock doesn't happen often, but should be avoided. Don't open your computer on a carpet. Just saying.

Is brand an important issue....I heard Apple uses Samsung memory! I saw Corsair memory 4B*2 with price so low...I wonder if it's good enough compared to the original one? Any view?
I subbed to you just so you know but I have a question. Is it the same process for a macbook? I don't have the pro and I only have 1 GB RAM so I was wondering? Thanks
So by swapping the optical drive you would no longer be able to burn CDs or watch DVDs? Im new....sorry
Do you have to do anything BEFORE you do this? Obviously back it up, but anything else?
Can I use like a 10600S instead of 10666?
I know I'm going to ask stupid question
but I am interested to know how much you bought the Momory
One thing that should be advertised is the discharge of power. And grounding yourself by touching some metallic point on the computer. I thought you did that but I don't remember. My main concern is that the battery still feeds power and while its safe to assume the power release is minimal, you may want to advertise the dangers of replacing RAM with a powered system.
Does it always take you 2 minutes to start you mac after installing the new RAM or is it just the first time after installing the ram and the rest of the time it is faster?
Thank you so much. 2021 install - 16GB RAM is $107.00 CAD.
1. if you do video editing or gaming then totally worth it and a big difference if you check email and do light browsing no not at all
2. Performance with large programs like games and video editing is extremely fast is it safe yes very safe as long as you know how to install it properly
3. apple says 8gb max because on a laptop most people dont do anything that requires more than 8gbs.
I hope this helped you out.
My mac turns to a piece of lag with lots of programs open. 4 gigs is NOT enough for lion, let alone the upcoming mountain lion. I need to upgrade pronto lol. Mine is early 2011 but core i5 13 inch. Will i see a large improvement, or will multitasking be the only improvement?
hi i thought the maximum memory you can put is 8 GB?
Thanks for posting this video. Looks really easy to install memory. What size screw driver is required? You mentioned a spec case. What kind is it?
Just installed the 8Gb. So far so good.
I wonder if the vram will get more boost if upgrading to 16Gb...
Even tho I see no need to pump it to 16 yet.
...yet
do u have to disconnect the battery from the motherboard or is that just a safety precaution?
3:39 "Apple makes it really easy" . Have you ever tried to upgrade RAM on MacBook Air? Its a nightmare
Have you ever had that nightmare wherein apple sold a tablet and called it a laptop, the curse of el macbook-air-ona?
Do you need the Mac specific Memory chips that Corsair makes? Or can you just use the normal ones?
I have a early 2011 Macbook Pro and Crucial seems to be the highest rated thus far.
Hello! Thanks for this tutorial. Can I add a 16 RAM to my A1278 MAC? I don't know if it will be too much for the computer to take but I don't really want to buy a whole new computer since my MacBook is good and well taken care of, and its cheaper. Thanks!
YES! You definitely can, you should also get a SSD in there and get rid of the HDD.
I just got my 8gb upgrade in the mail and tried installing it just like this, but it only recognizes it as 4gb. I'm going to remove it and try installing it again, but in the mean time are there any other suggestions?
How does installing more RAM affect the battery life? Any noticeable changes?
@Applepwns Hi !! does it take 2 mins to boot up every time ????? or just the first time ?
Great video, very easy to follow. I wonder, could you show me how to access the RAM compartment?. It seems to me that the bottom RAM stick is not connected properly, and it will not pop out so I can push it in.

Hi there, I would like to know if installing both slots with 8GB is fine as in the instruction, it said Mac pro 2012, maximum 8GB.
what is the reason that many people say to touch metal before you do anything like this?
What is the piece called that the ram parts go into? The bracket thing is what needs to be replaced on mine. I’m running on half the ram 😂
