Is this ram compatible with my 2009 macbook unibody. I have two slots (1gb and 4gb now) and was wondering if i could take the 1gb out and put this 4gb

I used it in a 2012 Apple macPro. It works perfectly . But Apple recommend the same capacity in both slots. I don't know why yours have different capacity in one slot. Verify in Apple webpage, there they specify you replacements for your particular MacPro model.

Hello Mia,Your MacBook is from about the right year. The only way I can be sure is if you give me your macbook's model number. It's usually written really small on the bottom of the computer. It will probably look something like "MA699LL/A," if you email the model number of your MacBook I will let you know exactly which ram to buy and how much you can use. Thanks

Yes. Because your macbook runs ddr3 at 10600 1333MHZ this ram is compatible but will not run at its full clock speed of 1600MHZ. I would suggest buying ram with the lower clock speed if it will save money.

Is it posable, yes... is it recommended..OH HELL NOI would recommend that you remove both 2gb and replace with the two 4gb.. The way RAM works, is in a way that it will use both ports at the same time, and having two different sticks is only asking for trouble.. Where as if both are spec the same, they would operate at the same rate.

Hi Willy, I will answer categorically YES. But, here is a great article from MacWorld http://www.macworld.com/article/1143511/unibody_macbook_review.html where it confirms that 8Gb can be installed. On thing for sure, Kingston makes great quality products. So, after reading the mac-Article, I'm would get the memory. 4Gb won't take you too far. My macMini (with the same processor as your laptop) came with 4Gb once I ran PhotoShop I was swimming in glue!

I have a late 2009 iMac and these memory modules work great. I would do some research online and as a last resort, check your current memory sticks and compare on Crucial's website.

My Mac runs just fine I admit I didn't pay that much attention to it other then proper installation. I'm running four 4gb cards and there hasn't been an issue. I do advise the if you are only upgrading meaning adding ram not replacing. Leave the original ram in its original location and just add the new ram to the open slots. Hope that help you in your decision.

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 have an '09 white unibody Macbook and it worked. I can't say for sure, but I bet our machines have similar memory requirements.

I would recommend going to crucial.com and having them recommend the best memory for your MacBook then coming back to Amazon and comparing prices :) good luck.

Mathew, I really wish I could answer this for you. I installed this memory kit in a Mid 2009 24" iMac. It's like a new computer now, hopefully you'll be able to. FYI, Apple told me my system was not upgradable, that I was maxed at 4GB. Have you tried Crucial's website? It's very intuitive, you can either plug in your system info or download their memory scan tool. Www.crucial.com. Good luck!

I upgraded my ram to 2GB right after I got this MacBook, it is cheaper to upgrade by yourself, mine only cost $60 for 2GB ram. If you bought from mac, would be $150 more..It is also super EASY to install the ram anyway...I'm a girl, I did it very easily. I have been using the new ran for couple months and does not have any problems.

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!

Yes it is. You can always check owc.com for what ram is compatible for your mac

Memory (RAM) comes with spec or model like DDR3, etc... this is like manufacture standard. You don't need to worry about brand names. all you need to note is the spec. So, you go to Apple website or support and ask to find out what RAM spec or model your Mac has, then you can buy the same spec in the market.that is what I did and it fits perfectly.

I have a 2009 iMac and went from 2 gb to 16 and it is great. Check on your computer it will tell you what kind of ram and how many slots are available.

I purchased this RAM for a late 2009 iMac, the RAM worked fine until earlier this year and now 4 of the 4 4GB sticks are failing. I wouldn't recommend this RAM for Apple products
