Making Sure Your MacBook Pro Recognizes the New Memory

After installing additional memory in your MacBook Pro, check whether the computer

recognizes the new memory.

To check the computer’s memory:

1

Start up your MacBook Pro.

2

When you see the Mac OS X desktop, choose Apple () from the menu bar and then

choose About This Mac.

The total memory includes the amount of memory that originally came with the

computer plus the new memory you added. For a detailed breakdown of the amount

of memory installed in your computer, open System Profiler by clicking More Info and

then Memory.

If your MacBook Pro doesn’t recognize the memory or doesn’t start up correctly,

confirm that the memory you installed is compatible with your MacBook Pro and that

it is installed correctly by reseating the memory.
