There is a specific way that memory needs to be installed in a Mac Pro, so follow directions closely to avoid complications.

Its really not that hard to install new memory into the Apple Mac Pro computer.

When I go into Disk Utilities the Hard drive says Used 164.29GB Other Volumes 1.84GB Free 833.86 GB The visual blue bar would not even take up 13 of its overall length The processor is 1.6GHz Intel Core i5 Memory 8GB 1867MHz DDR3 Graphics Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536MB It is also running really slowly I have spent 2 days sorting out photos.

I do however still use iPhoto and the images are in both iPhoto and Photos and both libraries.

Any advise would be appreciated I am not very computer literate.

If you are running low on memory Activity Monitor can be used to identify the memory-intensive processes causing that warning.

Once you determine the memory-intensive process or processes, a solution can be provided.

WIthout that information it is premature to draw any conclusions, but the number one explanation for that warning is having inadvertently installed adware.

To learn how to recognize adware so that you do not install it, please read How to install adware - Apple Community.

RAM.

Still same issues.

Higer Memory Mac OS Has Built

After searching another issue through forums Ive determined the issue is the Fast switching option Mac OS has built in and I believe is the default setting when creating multiple users.

The issue is that multiple users only uses more storage (Hard Drive Space) unless you have fast switching turned on, then it uses additional Memory (RAM) to remember setting and keep apps running on the other account in the background.

Turn this feature off and my computer became 4x faster again.

HOW TO DO THIS: Head to System Preferences, and then open the Users Groups panel.

Settings here will be locked (grayed out), so click the lock icon at bottom-left and enter your password.
