I have a Mac Pro with 10GB RAM.
I recently installed Parallels and Windows 7 which messed up my computer for running Photoshop, it went slow and the programmes I was running on Windows were unstable. I also had problems shutting down.
Anyway I have hopefully now uninstalled both Parallels and Windows, but when I loaded those programmes I apportioned the RAM so that 6 was used by MAC and 4 by Windows.
I now can not remember how I did that and I would like to apportion all 10 Gb back to MAC, can someone remind me please?

If you have uninstalled both Parallels and the Windows VM, all the memory is allocated back to your Mac Pro. Anyway, the only time that memory was being used by Parallels is when it was running.
