Once you install RAM into Mac book, do I just turn it back on? Do I need to perform some type of action?

I received some great replies concerning my increasing the RAM on my laptop. From the information gathered I was able to gather more information and am curious as to what and if there are more steps besides the ones I've listed below:
1. Power off
2. Take battery cover off.
3. Remove battery cover.
4. Remove battery.
5. Remove 3 screws.
6. Remove L bracket.
7. Remove RAM(2 sticks of 512MB).
8. Install new RAM(2 sticks of 1GB).
9. Insure the new RAM is snug into the slot.
10.Reverse the process.
Now at this point do I just power it back up or do I need to perform some other type of action.
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:          MacBook
Model Identifier:          MacBook2,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          4 MB
Memory:          1 GB
Bus Speed:          667 MHz
Boot ROM Version:          MB21.00A5.B07
SMC Version (system):          1.17f0
Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Tq1

Just turn it back on. The MacBook will automaticly recognize the new RAM.
If the MacBook doesn't turn on the RAM may not be the right speed for a Mac. Macs are very finicky about RAM. Much more so than PCs. The way to test that would be to put one of the old RAM sticks back in one slot and start up.

Installing RAM into Mac Book Pro

I recently went to my Campus' IT store to pick up something for a friend, and decided I would ask how much RAM cost, since I would like to upgrade to leopard in the near future.
I currently have 1G of RAM (2 x 512Mb), on a first Gen. Mac Book Pro, and so I would like to upgrade to the max it can have (2G RAM).
The cost of the RAM was surprisingly cheap, it would cost me $42 roughly to get 2 x 1G sticks, and I'm assuming they are the right ones, because the guy asked what type of computer I had, and how many GHz my processor was among a few other things.
My question is, they offer installing the RAM there for an additional $25, is it worth it to have them do it, or is it more cost efficient for me to do it myself, and if so, is it hard to install the RAM, and how would I go about doing so?
Thanks.

It's pretty easy to do yourself, though of course you have to take basic precautions against static electricity and have an appropriately-sized screwdriver so you don't strip the screws (they're pretty small and rather easy to strip if your screwdriver isn't sized correctly). You can download instructions here:

Not much you can do. You overwrote your current data with older data when you restored the phone from that backup. Your data's gone.

Hello, I have creative cloud installed on my Mac Book Pro - OS X 10.9. 5 When trying to download trial programs, a popup window shows the message " you have been disconnected" Connect to continue. The same message comes after repeated attempt to entering the login and password info. How can I solve this?

Hi Jeff,
Here is the screenshot of the window which comes after any attempt to download a trial version. It is in French, it means you have been disconnected, connect to continue.

Do you need an antivirus when windows 7 is installed on a mac book pro?

do you need an antivirus when windows 7 is installed on a mac book pro?

Microsoft Security Essentials is free and decent, don't beg you for cash.
Just keep Windows updated and don't use it online for anything except for updates if you can all help it.
Use OS X to go online and grab files, clean them using the free ClamXav before passing them onto the Windows side.
When you first setup Windows and have it updated, use the free WinClone to copy the Bootcamp partition to a external drive for safekeepiing.

Once bootcamp is installed on my Mac, how easy is it to go back and forth from windows to Mac? Just a press of button or do I have to completely log off of one to go to the other?

Using vitual machine programs (VirtualBox, Parallels, VMWare Fusion) you can run both at the same time.
Load Windows under BootCamp. Then load the VM software and select the existing BootCamp partition as the "virtualized space".
But ... BootCamp first, following Csound1's advice about backups. And you will wantto boost RAM most likely because you need to allocate certain amount of system RAM to each "virtual machine", as well as leaving some for OSX.
But ... BootCamp first.

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

I can see my folders by clicking the X next to my name on the Inbox Folder. So I have my folders now, just cannot see them in the left colum or see multiple windows on Outlook. At this point, I can use the folders, just with limited functionality. Thanks -Gina
