I verified on this site I could upgrade my late 2012 from 8 to 16 GB. When I talked to the online tech chat I was told the memory is soldered in and not serviceable. Afraid to buy memory because I can’t get a straight answer.

Apple will not support memory upgrade and I have yet to find anyone that will do the task if possible. I asked OWC since I am local to Woodstock and they responded they do not offer this service either. Wish I had a path to get the 8 upgraded to 16, probably a pretty slick set up if possible. Well Nice job on your video. But you have to virtually disassemble the entire iMac to upgrade memory.

Obviously the Apple design team did not want you to do this on this model. One good point is the separation of the power supply board from the motherboard.

Once you get past the incredible complexity of detaching the glass/LCD screen from the unit (as compared to the small magnets on the front screen in pre-2012 models which was relatively much easier to open), replacing the HD with a SSD should be straight forward. But upgrading memory? I’ll leave it to the Apple techs at my local Apple Store, so if they break those tiny, tiny runs on the video cable connector between LCD screen and motherboard, they can swallow the $800 cost of a new motherboard. This iMac model (13,1) is really something, and the whole idea behind the “thin-thin” design was to get the optical DVD Superdrive, which failed repeatedly in the previous iMac models when it was internal to the computer, out of the unit and external to the iMac for thermal satiability and easier access. Since almost ALL software is delivered via the cloud now, the DVD Superdrive is now a dinosaur. The HD will be the next to go from the desktop iMacs; with the cost of SSD coming down so quickly and the much quicker data transfer rate, SSD is the future.

Well, this old IBM and Data General FE tech, who was authorized to repair to the component level (used mostly 5400-series mil spec ICs in those days, then the 7400-series got better specs), sees a return to the “distributive computational” model where the CPU/ALU is located in the “cloud” as is all our data – there for the government to peruse at their pleasure – which necessitates only a “dumb” terminal to communicate with the Master Control Program in the Sky (TRON anyone?) is the norm. Problem is; which government?

I just learned about OWC while trying to find upgrades for my 2009 MacBookPro 5,1 2.4 gHz. I just upgraded ram to 8GB ram and am so thankful that I can’t wait to hear about your iMac 2012 reviews. Alien font for mac.

Also, THANKS for the holiday catalog on the various hard drives and accessories. I am still trying to learn more about the best solutions to edit three to four streams of HD video on an eSATA drive. I have an ExpressCard/34 slot and thought I was limited to FireWire until now. I’m feeling good about my options but want to speak with someone who does all kinds of editing on MBP’s and iMacs to make sure I am aware of the best internal and external hard drive upgrades, and second-fiddle options. I edit with Premiere CS4 and will soon be editing with Avid Media Composer.

I know that a newer iMac will handle Avid but my Core2Duo MBP will definitely need a newer hard drive or eSata option since it’s barely qualifying to operate Avid. I know I’ve said a mouthful and look forward to some real meaningful support and replies. Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays. Now what would really stink is if you did this upgrade on your own, reassemble the computer with new adhesive, and discover you get the chimes of death due to a faulty memory module. It does happen. So it would be wise to reassemble the computer without new adhesive to test the SO-DIMMS to make sure they work. Then seal the glass.
