Quick Start

Installing FileMaker Pro in the Mac OS 25
Adjusting memory
The Mac OS sets aside a certain amount of memory for
FileMaker Pro. However, you might need to change the amount of
memory reserved for FileMaker Pro if you plan to:
1 work on a large database file
1 work on several database files at once
1 host database files
1 use a database file that contains many graphics
1 insert a large graphic into a database file
1 run several applications at the same time, and you have a limited
amount of memory (RAM) installed
Changing the amount of memory used
If you want to change the amount of memory reserved for
FileMaker Pro, keep the following points in mind:
1 The amount of memory you give to FileMaker Pro affects your
ability to run other applications. If the Mac OS and FileMaker Pro
take up all the available memory, you won’t be able to open other
applications.
1 Avoid specifying less memory than the Suggested size in the
FileMaker Pro Info dialog box.
To change the amount of memory FileMaker Pro uses:
1. If FileMaker Pro is open, quit the application by choosing File
menu > Quit.
