How can I find out if this can be inserted into my MacBook Pro 13 inch early 2011? Or will I need to replace the current ram with 8 GB cards?

You will need to look up the serial number of your Mac on Apple's website and verify how much memory your laptop can take and what speed.

Sorry, but my research focused on my 2009 IMac. Suggest focusing your search on your MacBook Pro 2013 or Call Apple for help. Regards, Mark

I would think no - theses are only 4GB cards which would only give you 8GB all together. I can only expand my Mac to 8GB - looks like you should be able to extend your to 16GBhttp://blog.macsales.com/16302-some-2010-mac-owners-can-get-more-ram-than-they-thought

Check Apple support site. Look up your computer model. That's where I found the information regarding what to do with my particular model. Then I purchased the correct ram cards and everything worked as expected. Perfecto!!!

Absolutely, those are DDR3 standard and works in every Laptop which support that technology, the "MAC support" is only to indicate that the MacBook Pro is 100% compatible with these RAM Models.

Turn the lock on the bottom of your macbook and pop out the battery. Under the battery you should be able to find the factory installed RAM with a simple locking mechanism that differs for each model, there should be picture instructions showing how to pop those old cards out and replace them with the new ones, exactly as they were arranged. There are probably 4 slots arranged like so: AB CD The 2 new RAM sticks will work @ maximum potential in slots A and B (There might only be A and B anyway). ALSO BE SURE YOU ARE GROUNDED, don't do it on the carpet or else you'll completely fry your new RAM and/or hard drive to death with the static. Serious business. If you don't know how to ground yourself, look that up first.

Yes, at first I thought that it was different memory I bought for my Mac, but looks like it was the same. Works fine in a late-2011 MacBook Pro.

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.

Hi Vicky! If your Macbook is an Intel base processor you should be able to use this RAM. I suggest that you check you Macbook to confirm compatibility. I know it could be difficult to select a good, not over price RAM. But this one work for me. -Check on Apple menu>About this Mac> and look for the info about memory upgrade. Also, is you know you Macbook S/N you could google it. I wish you the best of luck!

Hi! I purchase that memory and used in Lenovo's SL400, you can go that page: http://www.memorystock.com/memory/AppleLaptopsMemoryUpgrade.html and check if the memory module works for your mac

It looks like the correct memory for your 13" macbook pro early 2011. However, as always, be sure to check against a reliable database like Mactracker or Everymac to be sure. Cheers!

This RAM will NOT work in any laptop, it is desktop Mac Pro RAM. It is not designed for a Macbook Pro.

It looks like the 4GB kit might work, though the maximum memory for the Macbook 2,1 is officially 2GB. You would need 200-pin PC2-5300 DDR2 (667 MHz) SO-DIMM. Take a look here: http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/qt/macbook-upgrade-guide.htmIt looks like you might be able to install (2) 2GB memory modules though only 3GB would be used.

I would recommend that you look at the specification for your MAC under the "About this MAC" option. You will see the memory module that is currently used in your computer (Ex: Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3). If there is a match, you should be fine. You could also search for the recommended configuration in the apple website for your machine.

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.

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.

No you cannot officially add RAM. There are some places that sell tools to take apart you MacBook, but I'd think about that. Buy the RAM you want installed don't try and add RAM on any Apple products

You have 2 slots available for RAM in your macbook, and the Corsair upgrade uses both slots with 4GB of RAM in each slot to make an 8GB upgrade. I did this upgrade in a late 2010 Macbook white with no issue. If you want more information about how to max out the performance of a 2011 MacBook Pro, go to OWC computing (www.macsales.com), and the site will guide you through the maximum, verified upgrades for your particular MacBook. They even have the videos for how to install everything.

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.

There is a page on Apple's website that may answer you question (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270?viewlocale=en_US#link1). Your Mac does not support 16GB of RAM, though 8GB are enough to run both these programs smoothly. This memory is not the right choice for your Mac, as it is (PC3 - 12800), and your Mac requires (PC3 - 8500). I've already searched the one that is just right, which is in this link: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-8500-SODIMM-204-Pin-CT2K4G3S1067M/dp/B008LTBJFM/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1413312655&sr=1-1&keywords=Crucial+8GB+Kit+%284GBx2%29+DDR3+%28PC3+-+8500%29
