There is a page on Apple's website that may answer you question (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270?viewlocale=en_US#link1). Your Mac does not support 16GB of RAM, though 8GB are enough to run both these programs smoothly. This memory is not the right choice for your Mac, as it is (PC3 - 12800), and your Mac requires (PC3 - 8500). I've already searched the one that is just right, which is in this link: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-8500-SODIMM-204-Pin-CT2K4G3S1067M/dp/B008LTBJFM/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1413312655&sr=1-1&keywords=Crucial+8GB+Kit+%284GBx2%29+DDR3+%28PC3+-+8500%29

Yes. I bought this RAM and upgraded our Macbook Pro 7.1. No problems, works perfectly.

Depending on the video editing that you are trying to do, this may not be the best solution. While the video on this Macbook is definitely sufficient for most normal needs and would be fine for light video editing but not heavy professional editing. That being said, the hard drive can be updated, and the RAM memory can be upgraded to 16GB, but the processor speed can not. I hope this is helpful information.

Hi Richard, if you look at iMacket's offer, our units come with iPhoto for photo editing. Our units also have upgraded RAM: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0013FNZ1M/ref=dp_olp_refurbished?ie=UTF8&condition;=refurbished&seller;=AVKQQV5S6AOR9

Yes the crucial ram 8gb will work in your macbook it should give you a nice performance boost, in addition I would add in a ssd drive and really gain a performance boost.

I have the Core i7 / 8 Gb version of this laptop. I run Adobe Lightroom 4.4, and it works well in my opinion.Get a USB 3.0 docking station or hub to solve the issue of only one USB port. Eg. Anker

Don't bother. Highly specialized apps (like those in CS3) you want to run natively. And the mac version is very good. Call Adobe; they DO offer a cross-platform upgrade (there is cost, but it's significantly less than buying a new product). You'll be much happier in the long run, and save time running them natively.

I assume you are referring to the system RAM? If so, then yes it matters. RAM (Random Access Memory) allows the computer to run more programs and functions at the same time. I believe this particular Macbook Pro only goes up to 8GB of RAM. You can install the RAM yourself or have an Apple dealer install it for you. I don't think Amazon offers a different model with the installed 8GB of RAM. If so then go for it, assuming you have the cash for the purchase. I hope this helps.

I got his for my son and he is using a macbook pro with 8gb. It works great.

I would think that the amount of RAM is based on what the slots will handle. I just picked up my late-2011 Mac Book Pro 17-inch and is was loaded with 16 gigs of RAM, divided into 8-gigs in each of the two slots. I believe that was as much as this model will handle, but that keeps expanding with newer models; might be able to load 32 or 64 on the later models, but you cannot get the 17-inch screen and that was one of my major criteria on the purchase. The 8X my previous RAM and about 5X the hard drive have also been quite helpful in making this thing work significantly faster and with less hangups than my now-Vintage 17-inch Mac Book Pro. I never remember the model number, but if it is the same, I know it will handle 16 Gig of memory. Good luck with it. Tom West

If you get the i7 and load it up with RAM it might be OK. However, if you have some huge files, you might need something with many more cores and a lot more RAM, like a Mac Pro.

What operating system is your Macbook on? I purchased CS6 for Mountain Loin system 10.8.5 and this mac version of Photoshop will not install on it. It is not compatible. If you do purchase a macbook, call Adobe to make sure you get the right software from your operating system.

I really don't know. I used my 16GB on a Mac Mini. In the process of determining if it would work or not I got on the Mac Mini web site and searched to see what memory specifications were for upgrades. Type type of upgrade memory required was clearly listed (even if somewhat difficult to find). I suggest you go into documentation for your computer to see if you can find similar memory upgrade specifications.

nope, the retina macbook pros have soldered ram, there is no way to upgrade.

It appears that model uses the same memory specs. Check your hardware manual to be sure.I found some information on Apple's web site. http://support.apple.com/kb/sp16You have to fill the slots in matched pairs of the same capacity, so make sure you purchase the correct sizes and amount. Your machine appears to be limited to 4 gb, so be aware of that.

If you're getting this unit, find a seller that will upgrade it to 4gb or 8gb of RAM **AND** an SSHD hard drive. It'll perform like a new Mac... WegenerMedia offers in this config, and others may as well - check with each merchant before you order... Also, we recommend OSX 10.8 or 10.9 - those will give absolutely best performance....

I had 8 GB memory when I was using it on my Mac Pro. But I have only OS X 10.6.8. I found the resolution to be fine. Course resolution will depend a lot on your display more than on anything else. Well, that and the camera's capabilities. I won't say it's the best camera out there, but it is for Mac, easy to set up, and I found the pictures to be of acceptable quality, bearing in mind that that is also a subjective thing.
