Will this work for my 15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009 Macbook Pro? It's running slow and I want to upgrade from my current 4gb to 8gb. Thanks

I was not able to get this memory working with my 13-inch Macbookpro (mid 2010).

Hi Forrest,I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support, here to answer your questions. Part number KTA-MB1600S/4G is not compatibler with the Macbook Pro 15-inch Mid 2009 model. The compatible memory would be a DDR3 1066MHz SODIMM which has been discontinued; part number KTA-MB1066/4G. For any further assistance, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you.Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.

I have a MacBook Pro mid-2010 version, also upgraded to mavericks. I bought and installed this memory end of December. No problems at all, works great, huge improvement in speed. Even though official manual says it can only handle 4gb don't believe it. I also switched out hard drive for a SSD which made an even bigger difference in overall speed than the memory.

I have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro 13in 2.4ghz and this did NOT work for me. After installation, I basically could not turn on my computer at all. I was worried, then I installed the old RAM that was in it originally and luckily it turned on. That being said, I had an older 2009 Dell PC Notebook laying around, I tried the RAM in that and that WORKED. I would have liked to put this in my Apple Macbook Pro, but it just didn't work for me. I did keep it since it's now in the Dell and did boost its performance quite a bit.

The 500GB works great in my MacBook Pro 2009! No need for any software changes. And, really, really speeds up the machine. Way faster with SSD.

I have a white Macbook circa 2008. It had 2GB. I replaced the two 1GB's with a 4GB and a 2GB. This was back in December 2012. I've got 6GB confirmed. It's worked fine ever since. No problems whatsoever.

Worked for me in my mid-2012 Macbook Pro i5 2.5ghz. But I ended up upgrading again to the 16gb of memory from Crucial for a bit more money after a few months. Just wanted more. Be sure to download "Memory Clean" to keep track of your memory usage day-in and day-out.

Yes, it'll. 8GB will max out the RAM in your mid-2010 MacBook Pro. Currently priced at $85; pretty dang good!

My answer was for Mac Book Pro. There are several models of "MACs" so you need to do homework for your model. You may be able to do better than 4GB and at higher speed since your mode is newer than mine. Some memory sellers have downloadable memory checkers so you are shown the right memory for your machine. Good luck.

I believe it should. Verify that on your computer by going to "About This Mac" -> "More info..." -> "Memory" -> "Memory Upgrade Instructions." Following that thread should lead you to info on your max RAM, the number of pins, etc., so that you can purchase what works best for you. My laptop maxes out at 4gigs so I bought the 2x2 package.

I don't know. My advice below.1) click on the apple logo on the top left corner of your menu bar, select about this Mac, then record the info from the Memory, which should have something such as 8GB, 1600 mhz, DDR3. 2. go to support.apple.com web site to find out what your exact model MBP you have and see if it has the 67.6mm x 30 mm ( 1.18 inch ) 204 pin slot which this Kingston 8GB RAM fits. 3. The Kingston 8GB RAM has a 1600 MHZ speed, and if the specs on your computer is not 1600MHz, you may want to go to the Mac Forum on line and find out if anyone have tried installing this RAM on the same model MBP that you have to be sure that it performs okay before you buy this RAM.

Check he details of your currently installed ram from the apple "about this Mac" menu. You should look at the 'memory' section and the new ram should match (all but the GB). I'd also check a few forums to see if they were able to upgrade the ram for your specific model. I would have thought it would be fine, however, I had to play about with mine a bit for it to accept the upgrade and actually show the ram installed. Hope this helps.

Yes, I believe it will work. However, it's capabilities may be limited since I doubt that a 2009 Macbook Pro has SATAIII (also known as SATA 6.0). Therefore, it might not be worth purchasing. This is because the type of SATA you have limits how fast the drives on-board your computer can communicate with the motherboard. I would advise doing some research on which type of SATA you have, how fast it can go, and then finding a drive that won't be limited by your computer's hardware.

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.

I have a mid-2009 Macbook Pro 15", 253 Ghz, and the Ram type needed ( and I checked in a chart) is: PC3-8500 DDR3, 1066 Mhz type Ram.

I got this for my MacBook based on the specs and it worked fine. However, I have an older MacBook and the most RAM it will accept is 3GB (2GB + 1GB). My MacBook has two slots for RAM so I just needed up swap out one of the cards. Check your MacBook specs online to confirm.

I used this for a mid 2008 macbook pro. So I don't know exactly about your model but Apple tends to be pretty consistent with the RAM they like to use. Hope that helps.
