Hi everyone,
So I am greatly confused by the fact that I had a 2011 macbook pro 13" running with 24gb of ram no issues for the last 3 years. I had a 16gb crucial ddr3l module and a 8gb ddr3 module ( i know its a ****** setup ). Anyways after parting with my 2011 macbook pro and handing it over to my sister I decided to grab a 2012 macbook pro 13" just because I loved this form factor so much and it also had some much needed upgrades ( usb 3.0, better igp, etc. ). I have come to find that the 2012 macbook pro does not use the 16gb ddr3L module that had been working on my 2011 macbook pro. At first i thought it was the module itself and so i reached out to crucial and placed an RMA request. The new module arrived and I installed it , with again the macbook not even reading it or using the 16gb memory, I thought that it was crazy that I would have another messed up module but again i reached out to Crucial and placed an RMA request. I received now my 2nd replacement and it still wont read or use the 16gb from this module, What is up ???? What do I need to do ? is it an EFI firmware issue ? do I need to downgrade ?
My current EFI for my mid 2012 macbook pro is : MBP91.00D9.B00
SMC version: 2.2f44
OS : Mavericks ( Love the old look over the new look )
