By ReneB on 08 January 2014 I'm pleased to report that indeed, 16 GB of RAM does work correctly in the 2011 MacBook Pro, and, it is even recognized at it's full speed: 1600 MHz.
All the functions of the MacBook Pro work correctly, including waking from sleep. Having this much RAM may seem like too much, but it is great if one uses several programs at a time or works with large datasets or image files. Installing this RAM is relatively easy.
There are instructions in the MacBook Pro's User Manual and online at Apple Support; even nicer instructions with step-by-step pictures can be found at sites like ifixit. Basically all one has to do is remove the screws on the bottom of the case, being careful to keep track of location of three of the screws that are longer than the rest. As for quality of the Crucial RAM, the actual memory chips are by Micron, a respected manufacturer that supplies Crucial with most of the RAM they sell.
After installing the RAM, I used the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) to verify that this RAM worked as it should in my MacBook Pro. I followed up on the AHT by running Memtest overnight to test the RAM - it passed with flying colors! You may wonder how come it's ok to use 16 GB of RAM when Apple specified a maximum of 8 GB of DDR3 1333 MHz RAM for the 2011 series of MacBook Pro laptops?
As you can see if you peruse the web, there are many, many reports of users installing and successfully using a maximum of 16 GB of RAM in the 2011 MacBook Pro laptops. The reason why Apple specified only 8GB as a maximum is that when these MacBook Pros were released, RAM modules denser than 4GB were not available in the appropriate sized SO-DIMM. With the subsequent improvement in RAM manufacturing technology, it's now possible to use up to 16 GB of RAM in the 2011 MacBook Pros. It's simply the case that Apple has not upgraded the specifications of the 2011 MacBook Pro. In sum, if you are considering increasing the RAM in your MacBook Pro, and it's a 2011 model, it's safe to use this DDR3 1600 MHz RAM instead of the 1333 MHz RAM. You may ask why would one want to use 1600MHz vs.
I choose to do so because, surprisingly, the 1600 MHz version was actually cheaper than the slower 1333 MHz type. It may not always be the case because RAM prices are very volatile, but it bears checking into if you are shopping for new RAM.
By adigitalmind on 09 March 2018 Like others, i assumed i could only install 8 Gigs max of ram on my laptop. MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5. I didn't think i could have more than 4 gigs initially. I did A LOT of research and found that crucial offered 16gig and said it worked on my laptop. Before this i had both slots filled with 2 Gigs of ram. Totally 4 gigs. After the OS High Sierra Update, things slowed down dramatically.
Even prior to this, i had a hard time running the newest photoshop cc, or illustrator together. Start up, mail. Everything was crazy slow. After installing this i crossed my fingers and BOOM! Its like having a brand new computer and I can actually do some pretty intense graphic work on my macbook.
Its only been a few days, but everything seems to be working great. Laptop isnt hot or anything. If things continue like this, i'll be a lifelong Crucial buyer! One of the best purchases i've ever made on Amazon! (See attached Screen Shot of Ram Installed). By Zack on 24 July 2013 If you go to the crucial website and have them scan your MacBook, they'll recommend you a CT kit with a serial number that doesn't match this one.
As alarming as that might seem, the crucial website FAQ's indicate that the serial numbers may vary for warehouse storage and distribution, and that you should pay attention to the listed specs instead. Anyways, the installation was surprisingly easy. It consists of a simple unscrewing and removal of the back panel followed by popping the old ram sticks out and popping the new sticks in that even an tech-unsavvy person like me could perform. I found the RAM replacement video guide on crucial's site helpful, since the guy points out a few safety considerations like static discharge and the numbers and placements of screws. Once installed, I immediately noticed the difference in the upgrade. Applications are opening much more rapidly than they used to, and Parallels for Mac is running in seamless clarity.
I highly recommend this upgrade to other MacBook Pro users running on 4 GB of RAM or less. By Anonymous on 01 May 2013 I initially installed this memory in the already-open slots 1 and 3 (the factory RAM was in slots 2 and 4) and got 3 beeping sounds and no bootup. After following the advice of another reviewer here, I turned it back off, opened the memory compartment back up, and swapped the positions of the factory RAM and the Crucial RAM so it went like this: Slot 1: 4GB Apple RAM (Top slot if iMac is upright) Slot 2: 8GB Crucial RAM Slot 3: 4GB Apple RAM Slot 4: 8GB Crucial RAM (Bottom slot if iMac is upright) That worked fine and I now have 24GB of RAM installed on the Late 2012 27' iMac. Tip 1: the Crucial RAM is a tight fit in the memory slots. To get them back out to swap their positions, I first had to remove the Apple RAM so that I could get a better grip on the Crucial RAM. Tip 2: I had difficulty getting the memory access panel off of the iMac because my finger wasn't going far enough in to depress the button all the way. I used a small key (a screwdriver would work too) to push the button in all the way to get the access panel to pop open.
