Can I use 2 of these to get 16GB in an mid-2010 iMac?

The memory was correct for my iMac, but it was faulty and I went to a store that sold Mac memory and returned the chip to Amazon. It caused random crashes. The street price was only slightly higher.

Those are actually a pair of 4GB modules. If you you buy two of them, you would get the 16GB you aiming at. The only downside is that, since mid-2010 iMacs have only 4 memory slots, you'll have to ditch the two 2GB modules that originally came with your machine. You may want to consider keeping the original modules and add only one pair of 4GB modules, to a total of 12GB, if it's not crucial for you to reach 16GB.

Yes, but the quality of these are very iffy. I have a 2009 iMac and these did not work very well. Several of the memory chips failed within the first year. You may want to look at the crucial brand.

No it's likely not compatible. Actually caused my Mac to lock up. Check the manual or Google for very specific specs. I ended up going to a microcenter since I couldn't get the specifics and still had to return twice as mine had a max memory limit. So don't use more than the manual specifies. Might want to go local so you can return easily if necessary.

I would think that the best answer to this question could come from an actual iMac repair person, there are times when the seller can tell you what systems the memory sticks are compatible with. If they can't provide this info drop in to your nearest BestBuy or call and ask, I'm sure you do not want to waste cash or cause damage to you computer to find it's not compatible. Also check they packaged disc or information for your Mac system online, it might point you in the right direction...best of luck!

If it is the same pair that I bought, then no. You have to be really careful finding the right ram for the older imacs. Try looking on ifixit.com to figure out exactly which ram will work with your year of imac.

That will probably work, but check the Corsair website. Macs can be very finicky about RAM.

Yes, it's the correct speed (1600 MHz). However it depends on how many available slots your iMac has, as to which kit you should get. 2013 iMacs can take up to 16Gb.

According to both the online documentation and the documents that came with the drive, the answer is yes. I can also offer my own experience as I've been using these drives with both my older iMac w/USB 2.0 interface and my new iMac w/USB 3.0 interface and both work as expected. USB 2.0 speeds are MUCH slower than USB 3.0 speeds, so expect that your throughput will be lower than the max throughput indicated on the docs; plugged into a USB 2.0 slot, the drive will operate at USB 2.0 speeds.I hope that helps! Let me know if you have other questions.

goto a Mac forum and sell either one or both of those memory sticks = many people will buy them. You Mac will take 2GB ram chips = 4GB total, but can only use 3GB of that.http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304284take one stick out and add a 2GB Ram chip = 2.5GB. Crucial is usually the best for Ram -check with NewEgg.com for Ram feedback. There are new models of the iMac coming out soon also (a few weeks). =May have better Ram options.

According to my resource macsales.com, the early 2008 model of iMac is expandible to a maximum 6.0 gbs of RAM memory. They recommend matched pairs so that the timing on both matches: "6.0GB Memory Upgrade Kit: 2GB + 4GB Matched SO-DIMMs PC6400 DDR2 800MHz"

I bought 16GB of RAM for my 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K that I purchased in Dec of 2014. It's working great! As others have said, install in slot 2 and 4. Basically, I didn't take out the original RAM from Apple and just inserted the ones I purchased. That's it. It was good to go. I upgraded from 8GB to 24GB.

I have no idea. I put these in a Dell 4010N. I have never put RAM in an iMAC ...

According to an apple forum it is compatible, but only if the speed is the same (the MHz). Go under the iMac's apple menu, click "about this Mac", then it should tell you the MHz next to the RAM specifications. The one I'm selling here is 1600 Mhz, and this is the forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4297186. That being said, I downgraded my Mac from the 1600 MHz RAM I'm selling, to two larger 1066 MHz sticks and it works great. But trust your best judgement, I'm not really familiar with iMacs. Hope that helps!

Awesome thanks, cuz I recently ordered some RAM and I got one that isn't compatible with the iMac. Thanks again
