Crucial.com says all ram and storage is soldered on board my late 2012 macbook pro retina 13". Will I have to pry the old one off?!

The SSD is not soldered, but the RAM is. There is 1 screw holding the SSD down, and this kit provides the screwdriver to remove it.

Check this site for steps (For Unibody): http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Replacing+MacBook+Pro+17-Inch+Unibody+RAM/3419/1It is simple, I did for Mid-2010 13" MacBook Pro and it was easy.

I think you need:CT3265269 - 2GB DDR2 PC2-5300 Unbuffered NON-ECC 1.8V 256Meg x 64 $35.99 for your Mac. But here is the link to Crucial to verify for your model. http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/?gclid=CP6nxoHd_r4CFQpefgoda0YAaQ&cm_mmc=google-_-us-_-dram-_-null&ef_id=U58PXQAABSyt981O:20140616153805:s

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

Best way to be sure is going to Crucial's website. Find your MacBook model and it'll give you all compatible options.

I put it in my iMac 27" Mid 2010 and it worked perfectly. 3.2 GHz i3 but I don't know about Macbook I am sorry. I did a chat with Crucial direct and they were fantastic help. I told them I was ordering through Amazon and they had no problem with that by still helping me find the right RAM for my iMac. Crucial all the way!

I'm pretty sure it isn't. This memory is for Apple products but I'm sure Crucial makes plenty for that machine. Check their website for exactly what you need.

According to the manual, the MacBook Pro for that year uses DDR3 SDRAM. This module will work. Be sure to have someone using Anti-static procedures install it.

It's compatible with any SATA equipped Mac, which means you are good to go. Just make sure you have TRIM enabled after installing it on OS X. The utility I use is called Trim Enabler. With regards to the previous poster's comment, I've taken my Mac apart many times now and I've never had a problem. iFixIt has great tutorials for every Mac that covers how to disassemble your laptop safely. I recommend printing out their guide's and then putting the screws on top of the guide's pictures, so you know where to put them back.

It is not necessary to install DDR3 memory sticks in pairs, however you will experience much better performance if you do because DDR3 memory is optimized to operate twice as fast in dual channel mode in matched pairs, as is your current configuration. Although the 2012 MacBook Pro has an "official" 8GB limit it can actually address 16GB. You will get much faster performance by upgrading to 8GB using two matched 4GB sticks rather than installing just one 8GB stick with the existing 2GB stick. Why upgrade memory capacity but downgrade performance by installing only one stick?

Hi HappyFeet,Based on the memory specifications of the Macbook Pro Mid 2012 13/15-inch model, part number KVR16S11/8 should work properly in it. Also, if you have the 15-inch Retina Display model, that one does not support memory upgrades and would not be compatible with this memory.Thank you for choosing Kingston as your upgrade Partner!-Jewel, Kingston US Technical Support

Not sure which model of Late 2011 MBP you have, but the 13" Core i5 2.4 Ghz model takes PC3-10600 DDR3 RAM. This RAM is PC3-12800 DDR3 RAM. If you Google search, some say it is possible to use this RAM, however more sources say that Macs are particular about RAM and there's a possibility of it not booting (or giving you a "kernal panic"). I'd personally go the safe route and get the speed recommended for your model. The Crucial 16 GB kit for your MBP would probably be this: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-10600-204-Pin-Notebook-CT2CP102464BF1339/dp/B005LAYH3K/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1409401413&sr=1-2&keywords=PC3-10600+DDR3 That one runs about $50 more than this kit unfortunately. There's a slightly cheaper Corsair kit but I'm sticking with Crucial myself. Always had best luck with them.

Short answer is "Yes". On MacBook Pro models the bottom cover is removable (doing so does not void warranty, if you still have it), and once open you can replace RAM and\or HDD. This particular model system I replaced RAM for 16GB kit, and the HDD is now a 1TB Solid State Hybrid Disk. SATA III (6Gbps SSHD) SSHD is noticeably faster in the system on OS X 10.9. RAM over 8GB on OS X is usually overkill unless you're doing something that actually requires it, like running Paralells Desktop or VMware Fusion (Unlike Windows where booting and running a word processor now requires 4-8GB of RAM to not feel like a sluggish piece of garbage). The only tools you need are small Phillips and Torx screwdrivers. RAM replacement is perhaps 30 seconds of work once the lid is off. HDD replacement requires either cloning your old disk to new, or a reinstall\restore with Time Machine using bootable media or the new boot-from-Internet BIOS tool (requires newinsh hardware, and may be significantly slower than the DVD that shipped with the hardware).

Yes! When installing make sure you properly seat the ram boards or you will hear beeping noises indicating that the boards were not seated and the computer will not boot up. Adding this 2X8 GB Crucial to existing 8 GB Mac ram work with no problems.

Sorry but the 2013 Macbook air has the Ram integrated into the main board... There is no way to upgrade the ram

Had the same question. I looked up the part number on Crucial's website, and seems like they work fine on Macs.

No chance of swapping the ram, that is soldered to the board. You can if you are extremely motivated change the SSD (NGFF, M.2), good luck finding one though, they are as of April 2014 only available to manufacturers...
