How can I uprgade ir to 8 or 16gb? Do I have to take it to an AppleStore?

Get a jeweler screwdriver set. Use it to remove the screws on the bottom of the laptop. The memory is laptop memory ddr3 1333mhz. It officially supports 8GB, but 16GB will work also, even if it's not Apple approved.

no just unscrew the bottom of it and take out the memory and put the new one. Its very easy if you need help there is lots of videos on youtube on how to replace them

Very easy, just buy the right type of ram for it and you tube an instructional video on how to replace it. There should be tons. If you're still nervous about doing it after watching, you can always take it to apple and have them do it. I recommend at least watching some videos.

This is very typical, there are pre-installed apps such as safari, calender, photos, camera, etc. already downloaded from Apple which takes up the 3.5 gigabytes you are missing. That is why I always buy the 64gb iPads, (I own 5), and only 59gb is available. I believe all tablets and smartphones are like this. It's not that you are being ripped off, your iPad actually does have 16gb, it's just that 3.5gb are already pre-installed apps. Another example would be a 32gb iPad or smartphone would only have approx 28 or 29gb available, so this is very typical, not anything to get concerned about, The manufacturers have to use some gigabytes for the pre-installed apps. I hope this answers your question.

You can, but it requires partitioning which Apple does not support. If you go to the Apple forum there are several approaches that can workaround the issue. Note: I have not tried them yet and haven't looked at the forum for the last month or so.

I upgraded to 4gb without issue. Check your specks online or through apple for listed upgrade size.

Unless your gift is going to someone who has (or wants to have) an HUGE collection of music files, or is likely to buy or rent a lot of Apple iTunes movies, 16GB should be more than adequate for the "average" person's onboard library storage needs. On the other hand there is no way to upgrade to more flash memory on any model iPod touch, so an extra 100 bucks if you can afford it for an additional 16GB of storage space may come in handy some day. You can always externally store a larger number of tranportable file from a MAC or PC if your storage capacity exceeds 8 or 16GBs in the older model touches.

In case you didn't know, you can purchase more gb's through iCloud, for example 20gb for approx $1.06 per month, tax included. This is for your 16 gb iPad. So you still have options to add more gb's. I hope this helps...

Dato -- Like Barb, I had help from an Apple expert. To be on the safe side, I'd look on the Amazon site for Microsoft compatible memory sets and use them.

You have to download pictures to a disc or any newer version that adopts to apple, then you can download what you have to any tablet or computer

For me, it's not a big deal with updated storage as 64GB would suffice the "app twitch" i'm experiencing. I have an 80GB classic right now, and have about 20GB free but I'm not going to say I would complain about a 128GB touch. ;-)I care more about the updated hardware components (camera, etc) than I do about storage capacity when it comes to iPods.With the integration and creation of 64GB flash modules, there's two options that I see. It's either Apple makes the case smaller and keep a single 64GB module to save on space and integrate more and faster hardware components, OR (what everyone else is speculating) is integrate 2 64GB modules to make it a 128GB Touch...which would be saweeeeet!!</rant> For me, it's not a big deal with updated storage as 64GB would suffice the "app twitch" i'm experiencing.

You can upgrade past 8gb. I currently have 12gb installed. My guess is 16gb is the maximum with 8gb per slot.

I had to actually call Samsung to get the answer to this one... you can upgrade to a max of 8Gigs... and i highly recommend it.. it made quite the improvement for the price...~80$

Yes according to the apple site it comes wit 8 GB and you can upgrade to 16 or 32GB with the DDR3 memory

The 16gb upgrade is really only a 8gb upgrade that only leaves the machine with a total of 16gb. I wish it was a real up grade to 24gb

It's a little long in the tooth. The screen size is good but you're going to want to max out the memory, and you need to upgrade the OS to at least 10.8 to support XCode 5.

I have the same question but it seems there's no way to configure Mac with 8G of memory. Hmmm..

I don't use iTunes but there's no reason you can't get the latest upgrade. If you can up grade on PCs there's no reason you can't on any MAC
