Know your gear
Engineered to be compatible with your Apple system, Crucial Memory for Mac takes the guesswork out of a memory upgrade. Since Apple systems often have very specific memory requirements, including particular component densities, speeds, and SPD programming specifications, it's important to buy your memory from people who know Apple computers inside and out. With over a decade of experience manufacturing and developing memory for Apple systems, Crucial makes it easy to find memory that's been designed specifically for your system.
If you're an Apple computer user, you probably expect intuitive, reliable performance from your system. Crucial thinks memory should work the same way, too. For each module it manufactures, Crucial sends it through a rigorous testing process to ensure that you're getting a reliable, high-performance memory solution. Every module that leaves the doors has been extensively tested at the component level for voltage and temperature resistances, signal integrity, and software compatibility

With their easy to follow instructional video swapping out 4 gig of RAM for 8 gig was a breeze. Performance improvement was immediate and significant. Next up, SSD.

Easy to install, works great
I was terrified to upgrade the RAM in my MacBook Pro and put it off for months, even though its performance was terrible. Finally I hit my breaking point, and Crucial's RAM was the right price. It was easy to find online instructions for installing the RAM, and the process itself went very smoothly. I noticed a difference in speed and performance immediately.

When upgrading to x64-based OS, more memory will be used. Thus, more should be installed. My computer running OSX 10.7.5 uses better than 2.6GB with no apps running; with 8GB, there is adequate memory for multiple applications to run simultaneously. Install guide was helpful (2.53 GHz mac mini, late 2009.)

Can bring old mac minis up to snuff
My early 2009 MacMini had too small a disk and I thought I will upgrade the RAM at the same time. I looked online to see what worked on the specific MacMini I had and Crucial's website pointed me to this chip. Installation was easy. Now I have twice the RAM. It is not the fastest chip on the block but this machine is my secondary machine for a file server and some Adobe Lightroom work; this RAM is adequate for that.

easy install and huge performance increase
After a brief search for a screwdriver that fit the cover plate, I quickly installed the new memory into my wife's iMac. It made a noticeable difference. Normally, the iMac (with its original 8GB DRAM) runs Firefox, Thunderbird, and OpenOffice, and would bog down on certain web pages or if anything else (iTunes, iMovie) was opened. The main symptom was excess paging -- you could hear the disk seeking constantly. After installing two 4GB DIMMs and restarting, that problem was gone. It's still possible to overload the now-16GB machine, but it's much harder to accomplish that. Even non-techies will notice the difference in speed. Highly recommended.

Great product, but packaging too tight
Installed 2 4Gb RAM modules into my 2009 MacBook Pro, replacing its original 2 2Gb modules, following an online tutorial of how to make the fix. Installed a 1Tb SSD at the same time (replacing a slow, aging and full 320Gb HDD). The performance increase was dramatic. As a landscape designer, I often create large complex 3d models in apps like SketchUp. Adding the memory and SSD allows me to quickly rotate and zoom fully rendered models with shadows and atmospheric fog, make fast adjustments, and has improved my workflow and production. The price was right and the installation was easy (except for temoving the modules from the very tight plastic packaging).

Works well
My Mac service man suggested I increase the RAM on my MacBook Pro 17" laptop before upgrading the OSX. Crucial brand was what he recommended because he found this brand to work reliably for macs, whereas many others who claim to, do not. The advisor tool and system scanner on this site allowed me to get exactly what I needed. I had no experience with installing RAM, or any other hardware in a computer, however, with the instructional videos on this site (and YouTube) I felt confident I could install it on my own, and I did. I'm a graphic designer and use Adobe CS products, and the new RAM (&OSX) are working well for me.

Easy Install by Casual User
Installation into my Mac Mini was a little more difficult than the instructions let on. Mainly because the RAM cards sit at an odd angle in the Mini and must be placed just right and a bit of force used to get them exactly right. I had to search for a couple of YouTube videos to watch someone else do the install. It took me a few tries and I didn't think it was going to work at first but only because I was not getting the cards fitted into the slots. Works great now and Mini is running much faster!

Perfect fit and just what we needed
A perfect fit and just what we needed for a slow Mac. Over time the OS updates required more memory than what we bought with our Mac in 2009. It is running like new again and the memory was easy to install, partly because of the Mac design, but it fit great and no issues on first boot up.

Crucial DDR3 4GB Memory Upgrade
Doubled the RAM on my 2010 Macbook Pro. The Crucial site told me exactly what to purchase and gave excellent install instructions. The process was very easy with no problems from the first start-up. The benefit for this home/personal computer is faster loading speed. I coupled this purchase with a new Solid State hard drive - a little more complicated to install because of the pre-install preparation - but not bad at all. The combination gave me much faster loading and performance speeds, confidence that I've reduced the potential for crashes, and overall new-computer function for a fraction of the cost of a new one.

Crucial Error
I used your scanner to find out how much RAM I could upgrade to. Not only did it say 8 GIGs was my max, which was wrong. Only 4 G max. It also sent me DDR3 when I need DDR2. So, I couldn't use the RAM sticks. I had to buy different sticks. I did, but not happy about that. The Kingston website steered me in the right direction. And, when I went to order the right RAM, your price was $15 cheaper than yours. The new RAM I got locally works fine. I gave the stuff I bought from you to the repair guy.

Works as expected
I updated my 4GB 2009 27" Late iMac to 12GB by adding in 2x4GB to the remaining two slots. Definitely worth the purchase for when I am running music applications like Audirvana Plus, which extracts the audio files and puts it into RAM for better playback. Memory pressure is now always green and low. The one thing that would make the experience even better would be to upgrade the hard drive to solid state. I still get the loading "rainbow" from time, although it happens far less. Also, I think it might be the limitations of the core 2 duo processor trying to run Yosemite. Overall, definitely would recommend.

MacBook runs much faster now
Made the mistake of upgrading Mac OS a few times which actually slowed down the computer significantly (running Mavericks on 4GB). Was painful to multitask and have multiple Chrome tabs open as well as email and Word and Excel. After I upgraded to 8GB, things just became tolerable. Now we can switch between apps with no delays. It's relaxing to use this computer again. Definitely worth the effort.

Product was just as described, and worked perfectly
Because your statement about the MHz RAM was slightly different from what my computer's statement was (i.e., 1067 vs 1066), I was concerned about whether I was buying the correct product. However, your support person responded very quickly to my inquiry, and explained that the actual number was 1066.67. Consequently, the discrepancy was based simply whether one rounded up or rounded down. That made perfect sense, it eased my mind, and the memory works perfectly. I am now in a position to upgrade my Operating System.

Good product but...
I bought this to hopefully increase the speed of my old 2009 MacBook Pro laptop. After "upgrading" to the Yosemite OS, the computer took forever to boot up. I thought I could fix this by doubling the RAM to 8 GB. It didn't, not at all. Could be that the older hardware just isn't a match for the newer OS. I didn't notice any change in performance either, which I thought was strange but I now have 8 GB of RAM...

Give that old computer a boost.
I'd say that my MacBook Pro is getting a little long in the bluetooth. Just kidding, it doesn't even have bluetooth, that's how old it its. Anyway, it's old. It's slow. It's painful to use because it bogs down so much. That is until I bought this RAM and doubled what was previously in it. It still is a six year old computer, but now I don't have wait 20 seconds for my computer to react to my clicks. Beach balls are rare now. I'd say it brought this old computer up to a respectable speed. I can tolerate using it again.

Great Memory Modules for my 2009 MacBook Pro
I bought this memory for my late 2009 MacBook Pro 15' model, installation was super easy. Startup time didn't make much difference because that depends more on internal hard drive or solid state drive but I measured performance by opening Final Cut Pro before and after the installation of memory ( 4gb vs 8gb) and it was almost 80% faster. I didn't expect much beyond this, so I am vey happy with my purchase.

Easy to install (just check out the official instructions from Apple by going to Apple Menu -> about this Mac -> Memory -> memory upgrade instructions) . Not a dramatic difference in performance (you're better off upgrading your hard drive to solid state first for the best perforce bump) but more memory helps for intensive apps. Recommended for a good way to keep your Mac current.

Osx reckonizes the cards. My Memory is maxed out now for exporting videos. This chip along with the mx 300 ssd literally makes native apple apps export 100 times faster. So fast i though my app crashed ! No going to sleep with crucial hardware. Super fast read and write times. Just so you know, I used to take small naps in between exports. Now i don't get that option. Thanks Crucial !

Excellent product. Worked as promised and easy to install
I was trying to get an older Mac Mini up to par for use in my small home office. My son had used it to do some gaming as well. I added the memory and an SSD drive after an upgrade to El Capitan. What a difference! The mini runs like new. Fast and responsive. I did the scan with the Crucial memory tool and ordered directly. The price was also the cheapest I could locate. Product got to me fast and it was up and running quickly. No errors or problems to date. Excellent all the way around.

Love Crucial Memory
Upgraded my MacBookPro 2009 to Yosemite and created a dog. I had 4 gigs which was twice the minimum required but my heavy duty programs like Dreamweaver and Fireworks really dragged. I maxed out my memory at 8 gigs and what a difference. The tool for selecting the memory and the instructions made this upgrade easy as can be (pies are not that easy actually).

quickly and easily solved my beachball problem on 2 macs
I have two late '08 Macs that are in excellent condition but were suffering from the endless spinning pinwheels of death. I upgraded both from 2gb to 8 gb RAM (from 1gb in each bay to 4 gb in each bay). Install was very easy and seamless - instantly recognized by both the macbook and macbook pro. This single step solved 85% of the problem on both machines - a huge performance increase. I followed up with a fresh OS install in both machines (also simple and problem free) and they now both run like nearly new.

The Perfect Part
My husband works in IT so he was able to install the piece, but I'm pretty positive that without him there's no way I would have been confident enough to unscrew and dismantle my Macbook myself. I don't think I could have done it without an extensive knowledge of computers. That being said, before the piece I was already looking into buying a new computer. Mine was all but unusable. After my husband installed the piece it began to run like new, or better.

From 4GB to 16GB
Although my iMac is five years old I was able to get some more life out of her with 16GB from the 4GB that were factory installed. I use Adobe CC software and it has allowed me to use the iMac much more since I installed the new memory. Startup is slow or slower than my MacBookPro, but after that there is not much difference. I just wonder....why didn't Apple tell me about installing new memory chips. Hum..

Macbook Mid 2010 CAN Be Upgraded To 8GB
The Macbook literature for the mid-2010 white model states that it can only be upgraded to a 4GB total processing speed. Yet I read on a post that 8GB was possible. I first installed 4GB and that improved the speed and performance about the original 2GB I had. Recently I put in the 8GB and there is a very definite improvement from the 4GB - especially as this Macbook had been slowing down first with Mavericks and then with Yosemite. Definitely recommended for anyone with a mid-2010 Macbook wanting to get the most with a Yosemite OS.

Began using iMac for multimedia (Photoshop and video editing) and the 4GB on it were not enough. Ordered addtional 8GB (2x 4GB chips) and the difference was noticible right away. Should have done this a long time ago.

RAM makes old iMac better
RAM was easy to install, though I did run into an error where the machine was beeping instead of starting the OS. I found an apple support article about it. It's no fault of crucial, but apparently the computer is a bit fussy about which RAM modules go in which slots. I moved them around and then it worked fine and the machine, a 3.06 Ghz C2D iMac had it's memory tripled!

Delivery was trackable, on time and well packaged. Lucky for me, installation was quick and easy! I would buy again!

Seems to be fine
While I doubt there is any stampede for RAM of this generation, it's grea to know it's still readily available. Most of us keep our personal Mac's in service well beyond five years, and, to have any hope of keeping up with newer software, most of us will need an upgrade at some point, maxing out our machines to keep up...I know that's a few assumptions, but I suspect they apply to a number of Mac users.

Mac Mini upgrade to 8 GB Ram
I was unsure I could update an early Mac Mini to 8 GB's. Apple said the max would be 4 GB. Crucial support assured me that 8 GB's was possible and if it didn't work returning the product would not be a problem. They also included a link to a video that outlined step by step instructions to swap out the boards myself. Very smooth transaction.

Easy Install
Replaced original 4GB (2-2GB) with 16GB (4-4GB)on late 2009 IMAC with 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. Used the automated system to detect an upgrade which came back negative then deferred to the dropdown menu which identified the CT3309051(8GB total)and a second part number that was for 4GB total. Was still not sure because of the automated system results so read the reviews and found others with the same system who installed CT3309051. Installed two CT3309051 kits.

I use my computer for general uses such as web browsing, email, video chatting via Skype, FaceTime etc. I've had my computer since late 2009. When I updated to Yosimite OS earlier this year my MacBook slowed down a lot. I've used Crucial before to update previous MacBook so I purchased a package recommended by Crucial. Went from 2GB RAM to 8GB. Installed it using instructions provided (I'm not a computer repairman). Replacement took only 7 minutes (case screws were the only time consuming part). MacBook works super fast now. No issues at all.

Caused my computer to lock up and crash
I've never had a problem with Crucial memory, but the RAM I got this time caused my iMac 27-inch (Late 2009) to behave unreliably. It locked up and crashed the first time I booted up. Then my computer couldn't get past the apple logo screen when I tried to reboot. I spent quite a bit of time troubleshooting the issue - even trying to reboot from a backup drive. Finally, when I switched back to the old RAM, the computer worked fine. I must have gotten a bad batch. Side note: During my research troubleshooting the problem, I found out that this particular iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) can be upgraded to 32 GB of RAM (though Crucial can only recommend 16 GB per Apple specs). Do some research if you really want to trick out this computer.

Lit up the computer the memory was recognized on startup without any trouble. The computer is incredibly fast my wife was delighted. I put in 16GB replacing the factory 4GB.

No problems on my 2009 iMac i7 Mem upgrade.
Also found that doing a SMC Reset and PRAM reset improved performance, plus I used disk utility to do a disk repair session. Now my computer is back up to speed again. Except I wish they made bigger SSD to replace my 2TB drive.

Learned the Hard Way
For MacBook Pro purchased a competing brand from the same store where MB Pro purchased. Per the store's recommendation and the brand's specs/advertising it should have worked; however it did not recognize both sticks of memory at the same time. Found on Apple website where this is a common problem for that brand. Purchased Crucial memory and absolutely no issues. Works great! My fault for not researching first.

Easy to install, great price... upgraded my mid 2009 MacBook Pro from 2gb RAM to 8 gb (4gb x2) as well as 250gb MX2 SSD. The increased speed and enhanced performance were remarkable. I was able to install everything myself without any problems. No issues with crashing.. everything runs super smooth. I have no complaints and would highly recommend this to anyone who's looking for an easy inexpensive way to upgrade their older devices.

Great chips for late 2009 MacBook Pro
Purchased these chips to increase to 8GB of RAM on late 2009 MacBook Pro with stock 4GB after decreased performance over time. Chips work (which is least good start after buying other brand equivalent chips and they stopped machine from coming out of boot block) and have beefed up Virtual Memory to make this aging machine semi usable again. Highly recommend these chips for this make/model of machine. Easy to install. Combining these with a crucial SSD would probably take an aging 2009 MBP back to being highly usable even 6 years on.

No Problems
I went from 4 GB to 8 on my MacBook Pro. I was primarily looking for increased speed in loading music software. I think I notice a difference, but it's not "night and day" different. From what I've seen, it sounds like the next leap (which yields more obvious results - so I've been told) is to move to a SSHD. Hopefully, between the two changes, I'll see a marked improvement.

RAM maximum achieved on 2009 Mac.
The speed increase wasn't as much as I hoped but then I wasn't in bad shape to begin with. No matter what the little money it took to max out my RAM was definitely worth the risk. At the very least I know whatever speed issues I may still have this isn't the cause. Only a new system will REALLY bring me up to speed. I bought some time until then.

Easy upgrade for mid-2010 Macbook Pro 13"
As a neophyte when it comes to rummaging in the guts of my MacBook Pro, some installation guidelines might've been helpful - but they're really not necessary. It's obvious where the memory cards go and how they go there. Definitely faster, particularly in support of OS X El Capitan. The toughest part is removing the screws from the back plate.

A good product at a great price
I have an aging 2010 iMac that was starting to get sluggish. I upgraded from the factory installed 4GB of RAM to 16GB of Crucial RAM, and it's like I have a brand new computer again. I can watch a movie on one screen and work on the other, and the iMac offers absolutely no fuss, which is wonderful. I think I can get another 3-4 years out of this machine now before I'll have to replace it. Long story short, the price I paid for the 16GB of RAM was worth every penny. It was easy to install, and it dramatically improved the performance of my computer.

I upgraded a 7 year old Mac Mini that's running the latest version of OSX from 2G to 8G and the extra RAM provided a HUGE increase in speed. Due to the age of the computer I didn't know if I could find compatible DIMMs on the market, but I snapped these puppies in and it was off to the races! No more watching the OSX "spinwheel of death" waiting for the CPU to find memory to use.

Added RAM to my macbook pro mid 2009 in a flash! Definitely recommend viewing a u-tube or a variety of online directions. This will give you confidence to push and pull a little on the removal and the install. If I can do it, most anyone can. I have never attempted to do this before. Once installed, the computer has run faster. Very happy with the product and purchase. The memory arrived on schedule. It cam win a nice padded envelope which proved to be important since it was let out on deliver on a rainy day.

Quick response. Quality product. Easy installation
Installed 2 x 4GB chs in an old MacBook (2009). It may be beyond design specs, but bios and os upgrades combine to make this MacBook rock. Quick delivery and easy installation made this a "no brainer " upgrade to perform.

Upgrade Ram for MacBook Pro
I use the computer mostly for Photoshop. Upgrading the ram made editing photos faster. Also, other computer functions were faster.

Good product
Bought additional RAM to speed up my laptop. I use it mainly for picture storage and editing, word processing, and personal use. The 8 GB RAM really helped increase the speed of the laptop in processing time.

World of Difference
This upgrade took my aging Macbook Pro from the middle ages to the present. No more spinning beach ball or crippling system pauses and crashes. This saved me from having to buy a new laptop for a few more years! Totally worth the investment. I have ordered 2 more sets of Crucial RAM to upgrade family members computers. Why didn't I find this sooner!

Great Product !
My 6 year old IMac kept freezing up when I used multiple applications. I run Yosemite IOS and Windows 8.1 Pro ( via Parallels) and I believe these new O/S were a drag on the RAM. My problems disappeared shortly after I doubled my memory with Crucial RAM. Very easy to install and instantly compatible. Thank you!

Good product, easy to install
The biggest difference that I saw once I installed this product was the infrequency of lag time. I can't tell you how much time I have lost sitting in front of my computer watching that little rainbow colored circle rotate. Not only was it very self explanatory to install, I rarely see that circle. Very satisfied with the upgrade.

My choice was to purchase a new MacBook Pro or upgrade memory and hard drive for 1/4 the cost. I chose to double my memory and go to an SSD. I did the installation myself - my first laptop upgrade. I haven't been sorry.

The memory cards were easy to install and gave the increased performance I was hoping to achieve. I would definitely recommend this to give extra life to your 2010 MBP. Up next is a SSD to complete the performance upgrade.

Excellent Customer Service
After upgrading my wife's computer, I decided to upgrade my slightly older Macbook Pro after an OS upgrade. The initial memory caused my system to freeze with mosaic images. I tested the memory using system utilities and it checked out OK. Upon calling the Crucial tech support line, I received excellent support. They offered to pay the return shipping, send a new memory upgrade (with a slightly different version #), and shipped the new memory with 2 day shipping. The new memory works Very Well. I am a very satisfied customer and a customer for life.

Need more SPEED
IMac is 6 years old and overworked the 2 gigs were so overworked that I was using over 3 gigs or hard drive to operate. SLOW . Kicked up to 8 gigs now back to old self. I am not a Geek and knew nothing on how-to install ne RAM or even where it neede to be installed. The directions were excellent had it completed an up and running in about 15 min.

So long, spinning beach ball of death
My 2009 iMac, my primary home computer was so slow that I preferred editing photos on my iPhone. True story. Despite the beautiful 27" screen my iMac was essentially furniture because I refused to turn it on. Even simple tasks like checking email or authoring a Word document were painful events punctuated by the "spinning beach ball of death." I was ready to pull the trigger on buying a Mac Mini and converting the iMac to a monitor, when I was convinced by a member of the Genius Bar staff to boost my memory. He mentioned having the same Mac I do and that by adding memory from Crucial he is running apps like Final Cut happily. I maxed out my machine, going from 4GB of memory to 16. It took longer to unplug and move my Mac to the workbench than it did to complete the install of the 4 stick of RAM. In all, the process - from shutdown to reboot - took less than 20 minutes, including watching the helpful video from Crucial.
