Hi. Just in case no has answered this for you, there is a fix that works. You find the details regarding why this happens at http://www.rdoxenham.com/?p=259. It will also give you the fix.

My daughter's MBP required this fix and it has been going on 2 months with no problems. Dont by daunted by the fix; it is actually pretty easy. Hope this helps.

Hello Arun,I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support, here to address your question. I show that your Macbook Pro supports 1333MHz memory while part number KTA-MB1600/8G is 1600MHz. Since Apple computers tend to be very specific about the memory that will or will not work, this memory may not work properly in the system. The recommended 1333MHz module is part number KTA-MB1333/8G which is recommended and guaranteed to work in your system. For any further questions or concerns, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you.Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.

It fits. But my A1237 ran very weird when it was installed (lagged, random freezing of the os, etc). I went back to the original battery again and it runs great again.

I also have a Mid-2009 2.53 GHz but 13 MacBook Pro running Yosemite. It is working great for me. Hope this helps.

I am wondering the same....I have a Z560 Ideapad as well. Hopefully someone can confirm because my current battery is a goner.

My understanding is that some graphics cards on early 2011 Macbook Pros were not properly bonded to the logic board, which contributed to overheating and premature failure. I read reports that too much thermal paste was applied in some instances. I am not certain if that kind of overheating is the only source of problems, but whatever it was, Apple has created a repair program for certain graphics card issues in this model.So to answer your question, if your laptop has the problem I described, an OS upgrade won't help. For what it's worth, my early 2011 15-inch hasn't had any problems.

I have a MacBook pro 2010 and I get freezes during start up unless I unplug and replug after booting up. There were so many other types of problems I ended up returning the HD.

Mine never worked at all. My advice would be to do like I did: request a refund, then throw this battery in the garbage and spend a few bucks on an Anker or other decent brand. :-) Seriously, you may want to remove the battery while the computer is plugged in and see if it changes anything on the status display. If it changes, you know the battery is bad, if not, I would suspect a problem with the computer.

Did you follow the instructions and let it charge for 24 hours before first using it? I have my MBP set to "Better Battery Life" and sleep/turn off display after 15 minutes, in Energy Preferences. After watching 75 minutes of video over WI-FI on battery, and Bluetooth turned on for the mouse, I have about 30% battery life left. I don't think that's quite as good as the Apple battery when it's new, but I can live with it.

I've owned my UL30A-X5 since the beginning of 2011 (original owner) and the battery is suddenly now failing (I am getting a message on my power meter "Consider replacing your battery"). A) I'm surprised that I've owned this computer for 15 months and the battery is now failing B) The reviews for the replacement battery ASUS sells indicate those batteries are not sold at full capacity (note, not full charge, but full capacity)Please comment and advise.Thank you,JK

I works fine with my 2012 MBP 13". I wonder when someone says it damaged their battery what they mean. It's a standard voltage and even so the battery inside has a voltage regulator so I have no clue how that could happen...

Please open your Macbook and remove the battery, to ensure you order correct battery, Please check battery model number on the battery. Don't order battery base on Year, and the model of laptop. This is completely wrong method to order battery.If you see battery model number listed on the batter stated "A1382" and this is the correct battery. If you see "A1321" Please do not buy this product, it will be other listing.Please search battery base on battery model number ONLY.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure. I think I just put mine in and it worked. My mac recognized it and it had a half charge already, so I let it discharge and then fully charged it. It also came with an info sheet that said contact them specifically for questions. Since it worked I threw out that piece of paper, but if you have it contact them. The very first battery I bought from another vendor would not be recognized by my computer and always had an x over the battery symbol, so I returned it. Good luck and sorry I'm not more helpful.

I installed the part myself. To be honest I don't remember if it was from apple or not. It's still working in my macbook and I haven't had any issues with it. As a matter of fact I'm using my macbook to respond to this question. Maybe the seller can answer this question for you. If you're wondering whether or not to trust this part of not, I would recommend any day. Like I said my computer is working just fine now.

Hi! I have a late 2008 MacBook Pro and just bought this battery to replace an OEM Apple battery and it works perfectly. And I did double check and my MBP is an A1286. Hope that helps!
