Yosemite requires 8GB of available storage. How do I find out if my MacBook Pro 10.6.8 has this?

I have a MacBook Pro intel core i5, 4GB of memory and OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). How can I be sure Yosemite will work well on this computer? Apple says I need 8GB of storage, and I can't find this information on my computer.
Thank you!

    How can I look to see what GB macbook pro I had I ordered the 8gb but on the reciept its saying 2X4GB I just want to make sure I got the 8 and not the 4.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The receipt wants to say that you ordered two modules of 4 GB of RAM, so after installing them, you will have 8 GB. If you have already installed this RAM, open  > About this Mac, and check Memory to check the amount of memory your Mac has

    How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connecter, only a port.

    Most MacBook Pro models have a Mini DVI port, a Mini DisplayPort or a ThunderBolt port for connecting an external display. USB does not have enough bandwidth to support a responsive display connection.

  • How can I find out which mac format my external hard drive has

    I have a PD LaCie drive.  I had formatted it about a month ago, but now reading several posts, it appears that the best format is mac OS extended (journaled).  I am not sure if that is the one that I had originally chosen.  How do I find out which format my external hard drive has?
    Thanks.

    Select it on the desktop or in the Finder's sidebar and choose Get Info from the File menu. If it doesn't show up in either location, check the settings in the General and Sidebar tabs of the Finder's preferences.

  • How do I find out if my Macbook is infected after I installed a dislike-button Facebook?

    Yesterday I installed a Facebook dislike button (very stupid, I know). Today I found out that it's a scam, that enables software to have access to my accounts (passwords, etc.). I deleted the app and blocked it. How do I know if it still has access to my macbook. And if it does, how do I block it?
    Thanks a bunch in advance.

    To check if you have malware, try the following...
    In Terminal.app, run:
    cat ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
    and
    codesign -v /Applications/Safari.app
    If you get anything about "DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES" on the first and/or "code or signagure modified" on the second, then you are infected. Any other responses (including none) means you're fine.

  • How do i find out when My macbook was made

    Im trying buy the right case but I need to know when my macbook was made

    This site will give all the information you could ever need about your MacBook. http://www.appleserialnumberinfo.com/Desktop/index.php
    But for buying a case all the MacBooks except the model 5,1, 6,1 and 7,1 are the same size 1.08" H x 12.78" W x 8.92" D
    To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
    The 5,1 is 0.95" H x 12.78" W x 8.94" D
    The 6,1 and 7,1 are 1.08" H x 13" W x 9.12" D

    Use this site to enter a partial serial number:

    The instructions tell you which characters to enter.
    According to the MacTracker database, a 13" 2010 MBP is an A1278:
    Looks like all the 13-inchers share the same model number.
