Anyone confirm that mavericks has no issues with this 8/16gb ram.There are limited reports of crashing with mav'ks and 16gb config with other brands.

I've been running it for months on my Mac Mini with no problems at all. (16 gig)

Running Mavericks on a late model Macbook Pro 13 inch laptop with this memory and have had zero issues.

Personally speaking, I haven't had any problems after installing OSX Mavericks and upgrading the RAM with crucial memory from 8 to 16 GB on my wife's 13" MACBOOK PRO.

I have had this set on a 2012 MBP for 11 months no issues. The extra ram was necessary for my design work

Running Yosemite on it now - no issues whatsoever. It's a clean install of the OS though, rather than an upgrade. That seems to make a difference in general, and upgrading to Yosemite tends to be glitchy. RAM has performed just fine.

I bought 16GB of RAM for my 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K that I purchased in Dec of 2014. It's working great! As others have said, install in slot 2 and 4. Basically, I didn't take out the original RAM from Apple and just inserted the ones I purchased. That's it. It was good to go. I upgraded from 8GB to 24GB.

Yes it should work just great. After you install, run the Apple hardware test (google to find out how) a couple of times to make sure you aren't getting any errors. That will take the better part of an hour for each run. If you pass OK, you should have no problems. If it doesn't pass, pop the modules back out and switch them in the slots and then repeat the tests. I also highly recommend that you be upgraded to 10.9 Mavericks. I used to get some rare kernel panics with this memory under 10.7 Lion, but after upgrading the OS they have disappeared completely. Then, if you haven't done it already, start shopping for a solid state drive. Since I added both to mine (late 2011 MPB) I couldn't wish for a faster more responsive system.

In theory, yes. There are some issues overall with USB 3.0 and the Intel i7 chipset. But Mavericks itself is fine. Also, I'm having issues with three hard drives plugged in. If you're not plugging in any latency sensitive devices and not more than two drives, you're probably okay. Mavericks or not.

Eager to know if works! I too am thinking of expanding. If it does work, please share the Ram manufacturer and specs. Thanks.

I have two of these. I run Win7 Pro x64 on one, and Server 2008R2 with a 3rd Gen Core i5 and 16GB RAM on another. No issues whatsoever. All drivers available on Shuttle's website work fine, even card reader. It makes for a wonderful server. I even run another 2008R2 VM using Hyper-V and everything works great. I have nothing negative to say about this guy as a small, quiet, cool server.

Will depend on your computer, but I can tell you that on my MacBook Pro with 10.9 (Mavericks) the drivers don't work well with the new OS. Even mouse movement stutters, video is out. Your milage will vary.

THIS works., It's a BIG pain, and Sony really should figure this out but I did it and it worked for me... Home Blogs Rodney Reynolds's blog Fix For Sony Vegas Crashing While Rendering/Editing If you are having issues rendering or editing in Sony Vegas Video Editing software (Pro or Studio), this might resolve the issue until Sony resolves this with a patch. I know it did for me. As a side note, Vegas 9c Pro fixes a lot of compatibility and stability issues. The problem that I had was that when I try using a EVGA X58 + Intel i7 920 Combo and render to the Sony AVC MP4 format it crashes immediately. This didn't happen on my previous X48 computer system. I've tried both Sony Vegas Media Studio 9 and Sony Vegas 8 but both crash on trying to render Sony AVC MP4 format. I've tried just about everything and have the same problem. I've tried reinstalling Vegas, I've tried installing a fresh copy of Vista and then Vegas, I've even tried installing Win7 Beta and Vegas. I've also removed overclock and all default system setting. This fix worked for me on Sony Vegas Studio Pro 9: http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?ForumID=4&Mes... Here are the details on the fix: "Most 32 bit exe and dll files have a 2 gig maximum memory cap. I've been playing around with CFF EXPLORER (free download) which is a program that allows you to easily open the exe or dll and click the 2 gig memory switch that allows it to use more than 2 gig. I reset the memory flags in vegas80.exe m2tsplug.dll mcstdh264dec.dll sonymvd2pro_xp.dll to "greater than 2gig" and did a render of which I almost always crash on (avchd at 1920 render to m2ts 1920@16Mb/s with AC3 audio) I didn't crash! In fact memory usage shot up higher than i had ever seen vegas use (it shot up to 5gig and leveled off.... usually it climbs no higher than about 3.5 gig and creeps a little) The whole render process of avchd seems to be quite a bit more stable

Running a Asus MB with w/16gb & 4770k chip. Experimented with running the ram at various speeds. No problems with underclocking the ram. No freezes at slower speeds. Best Wishes-Rick

I am an engineer and gave the memory a thorough testing using memtest. I have been consistently using more 80% of the available 16 Gb with demanding applications and have not had any problems. The jump from 8 to 16 made an enormous difference on my 15" Mid 2012 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.2.

Yes, works fine on the Mavericks distro. I hate it when people say something without trying. your answers are not helpful!

I'm running OS X Mavericks and it works perfect. I did install Moom as well.

I am using their latest driver 3.2.0 and it is listed as updated for 10.10 (Yosemite), but no update for 10.10.1 yet per their website, but I'm using the Quad with 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Maverick was the big problem from the reviews I read. I hope that helps you.

Crucial has always been reliable for us until now. Two Retina iMacs in our office experienced kernel panics when using this RAM. Unless Russian roulette is your thing, go with different RAM. We changed to Corsair, and all is good. Answer regarding: Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3/DDR3L-1600 MHz (PC3-12800) CL11 204-Pin SODIMM Memory for Mac CT2K8G3S160BM / CT2C8G3S160BM

I had a similar bad experience with installing Mavericks on a similar iMac. While the additional memory was helpful, I don't think the newer OSs are exactly compatible with legacy models; we had overheating and random shutdown issues. We eventually rolled back to Snow Leopard and it's been much better since.

Yes, I am running Mavericks (OS X 10.9 per my About This Mac). it runs fine without a driver update. It actually seems to run better under Mavericks and the new Safari than before.
