I love you

After reading many posts about people having this problem, I decided to try a crack at this to see if I could fix it.

1) I enabled ....

I hope this helps others - this can be very irritating.

I registered just to thank you for that advice. Excellent, thank you very much indeed. An extremely annoying little glitch.

Thanks again!

Logging into root fixed it! Thanks!

Just wanted to let everyone know that logging into root, as explained by bkomanet, WORKS!

Enabling the root user took me a few tries because you need to navigate to the top (apple) menu bar to get the "edit" pull down menu, giving you the enable/disable root options. It is not it's own window or a pop-up.

Thanks again!

Just wanted to add to the overall knowledge of the board that this, in fact, does fix the issue.

It must be the preferences or similar file of the memory slot utility that don't have the right permissions for being saved.

I had the same problem on mine but I have two boot drives, one with Snow Leopard the other with Lion and it only occurs on Lion?

Strange, wil try the root login trick and report back.

1) I enabled root access on my Mac (OSx Lion)

Hey there. Just wanted to chime in. This also fixed it for me. It had been happening since I upgraded from 16 to 32GB of OWC RAM in my 09' Mac Pro.

Just one to add my voice of thanks -- your procedure worked perfectly for me as well. (2009 Mac Pro, 10.8.3, 4 core, 8GB memory, recently added the final 2 GB).
