Adding Memory to Your MacBook Pro

To check the computer’s memory:

1

Start up your computer.

2

When you see the Mac OS desktop, choose Apple () > 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 computer doesn’t recognize the memory or it doesn’t start up correctly, shut

down your MacBook Pro and check the instructions again to make sure the memory

you installed is compatible with this MacBook Pro and that it is installed correctly.

If you still have problems, remove the memory and consult the support information

that came with the memory or contact the vendor who provided the memory.
