Trying to free up memory... maxmem? crackmem? shrink-a-os? which one?

Hi there, new to the BB game so to speak. I currently have an 8310 with os 4.5.0.163 and loving the phone so far.
I recently just installed BBM5 and I noticed that it chewed up a lot of my free memory. I currently have 20mb free after restart, about 17mb free after running. I do not have many apps installed either, just operna mini, poynt, mobile data alerter, google maps and BB app world.
I did some searching on how to free up memory and have read all the DIY threads but do all the memory programs listed to the same thing??
Is there anyone prefered over the other??
I have tried using crackmem and maxmem, I recently stumbled onto shrink-a-os but was unable to find any reviews on them.
bottom line is I guess.... which program is better to use?? or is it all the same **bleep** just different GUI?
Thanx for everyones time

Personally, I do the memory cleaning manually.

In trying to free up memory on my C: drive,I'm trying to move iTunes to a partitioned D: drive but my iPad then doesn't "see" the computer to sync. Is it safe to erase andreload?

In trying to free up memory on my C: drive, I'm trying to move iTunes to a partitioned D: drive but my iPad then sees it as a "new" computer and won't sync without erasing and re-synching. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to free up memory .

I'm trying to free up some memory , so I got an external hard drive . But after moving my iPhoto and itunes and several other apps to it my memory does not seem to have come down by very much , also sometimes when I switch on the Mac I get a 'chime' sometimes I don't , sometimes I can see these , sometimes I don't.
Can anyone help ? Thank you .

If you move pictures, movies, etc to a hard drive, they are copied over - the originals remain on your hard drive. In order to create space (the hard drive has space, it is not memory), you need to delete those items from your hard drive and empty the trash (that is after you copy them over and make sure that they work on the external drive).
If you move your entire library, then make sure it is associated with the application and that all the pics are there before deleting anything on your internal drive or you might accidentally lose your files.

No sound today. Maybe because I turned the sound off on a free game app but now don't know which one and probably deleted the app.

It's pamonvashon again (the person who posted the question). I fixed it so I'll tell you how in case it happens to you. I was correct. I went back and re downloaded the game, "Virble". At the beginning of the game o I used the buttons on the side of the phone to turn the sound off and on and the sound came on! A miracle! So beware of VIRBLE!!!

HT3406 in need of some assistance im trying to save my pictures, so i can delete them from my i phone is that possible? trying to free up memory on my phone.

im just tring to free up some memory but i have taken many pictures and now is left with very little memory to work with

you probably should import those pictures, unless you previously set up icloud control panes on your computer.
if icloud control panel does not ring a bell, use instructions here.
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from ... - Support - Apple

HT2534 What to do? Help please. Free app asking for billing details. And which one to use apple id or iCloud id?

When i want to install a free app using my apple id [email protected] - it asks me to enter billing details...why is that? :s
What to do?
And when i try to install it using my icloud id [email protected] , it does give me the option of 'none' in payment method but when i select it, it asks me to first fill in the details only then it would move to the next step.
And i wanted to ask....is it better to use my id the one with [email protected] or [email protected] ?
PLEASE HELP!!!!

For a standard account, a valid payment method is required even for free apps.
You can create a new account w/o a CC that is only good for apps by following these instructions
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

Is there an easy way to free up memory without deleting important files?

I am trying to free up memory on my MacBook without deleting important files. I'm not sure which files I can delete permanently without interfering with the operating system or applications. Any advice?

You can delete any document files you've stored in the Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders located within your Home folder. Or you can replace the hard drive with a larger drive or offload documents to an external storage drive then delete from the internal drive.

I was trying to free up some memory on my hard drive and now I don't have an Itunes icon. I may have deleted it from my applications. How do I get it back. I downloaded it but it says it was moved from my PDF, music is played on Quicktime player

I was trying to free up some memory from my startup disk and I may have accidently deleted the Itunes application. I still have a library if I go through finder. I can download Itunes but I'm not able to install it. All this and I still don't have enough space on my startup disk, but that's another whole question!
If I play a tune,it comes through quicktime player. What can I do?

No, this should be the number one thing you are concerned about.
Until you get this sorted, there is a good chance you may simply lose everything.
Do you hav ean external drive?
If so copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to the external drive.
Then you can delete /Music/iTunes/ empty the trash and recover this space.
Do this then Apple menu > Software update.
Restart the computer
Then post back.

Dreamweaver CS4 attempted to free unallocated memory bug

Dreamweaver CS4 Mac version 10.0.0.4117 has a fatal bug. It is trying to free up unallocated memory. Most likely, it is trying to free the pointer twice, which ended up attempting to free memory that does not belong to it. This corrupts the system memory, and bring down Snow Leopard, causing the notorious freeze problem in Snow Leopard.
See the system log, right after Dreamweaver crashed, it corrupted the system memory, causing Safari to freeze right after that:

Can anyone tell me how to delete previous "keep file" files? Im trying to free up some space on my mac.

Can anyone tell me how to delete previous "keep file" files? Im trying to free up some space on my mac.

You can upgrade to Mavericks free, just run the App Store program and search for Mavericks. But before you do upgrade I recommend the following:
1) make sure you have a recent backup. TimeMachine is fine.
2) Mavericks is somewhat more memory hungry than 10.7 was. You will need 4 GB of RAM and I strongly recommend 8 GB.
Go back to the Apple menu and select About this Mac - look under the OS info you just looked at. You'll see how much RAM your computer has now. Then click on the More Info button. There you will see your computer info listed as in: iMac, 21.5" mid 2010, for example. Return back with that information and we can tell you how far the computer can be upgraded.
If you decide to procede and you have enough RAM upgrading to Mavericks is quite simple. Click on the download button and let it do its job.

How to free up memory to play game ?

I recently tried to install a game via dvd, but then got the message that I had "0 mb...and need to free up memory" to play the game
yet I have recenty added memory and have over 500 mb available, according to the system.
do I need to drag the game icons to the hard drive? seems like I have enough memory, but when the game file appears it says " 0 mb" at the top of the file. or do they mean Ram?
I am a first-time mac user, love the forum, and would appreciate any suggestions
thanks to all

The game likely needs to be installed from the DVD onto your iBook's hard drive. Obviously, you will need to check the specs of the game to see how much space is recommended by the game maker for the game to run and run efficiently.
500 megabytes likely isn't enough to run a game. This is the space on your iBook's hard drive, correct, and not the disc itself?

How to reset it(free up memory)? [for 3110c]

I have such problem - 9mb is fully used by sms messages. I inserted 1gb micro sd card. but there is only 75kb of free space... How to delete every thing?? when I try to delete e.g. gallery or other files- phone "freezes"... how to reset it? [3110c nokia].
when I connect to PC - it does not connect via usb.
also when switching it ON - white screen opens.. long pause.. and then it goes normaly.also - it restarts sometimes.
Thank you.

main problem - "message storage memory not ready" - while trying to send sms.
also - while trying to take a photo - "memory is full" then it writes - "72.5kB memory available. free some memory?". I say yes - when "delete from" appears... messaging section is 3,8mb size. when i try to access/delete it - phone freezes.... so???
when i try to delete "contats" in my phone - it tries to do it.. but after long long loading ir restarts...
how did i got this error? I connected nokia to PC via USB cable, then chosed "data storage device" mode. After I disconnected, I can't access any Message related functions anymore. It always displays an error "Message storage memory not ready". I tried restarting, restoring factory defaults, taking out the battery/SIM but nothing helped.
update firmware? i tried. but in 3rd step - while writing data to phone via usb - it "disconects".
yes, i can get it to service center - warranty is available [i used it only for ONE day]... but i want to solve this problem for my own
also - The format code is *#7370#. but it dont work on 3110c. any ideas?
...i think the phone memory is corrupted....

...requires at least 3 MB of free virtual memory....

I am trying to install Illustrator 7.0 on my XP laptop with 1GB RAM and 20 percent free hard-drive.
I get an error message to this effect "...program requires at least 3MB of free virtual memory..."
Any help on this would be appreciated - I know, I know, it is an old version of Illustrator....
Many thanks!

When you get this message there is no alternative but to delete content from your phone, this per my conversation with Apple support a few minutes ago. In that cast try to delete only free apps or things like podcasts that can easily be restored from the original source should you desire to do so.
iTunes is a very poorly written program with an ancient interface--in 2014 it does not even support windowing. You are foolish to rely on iTunes for backing up and restoring whatever programs or data in order to upgrade the iOS. Apple's only concern with restoring and backing up data centers on DRM protrected music purchased from iTunes, nothing else and is designed to not restore media files not purchased from iTunes. Hence in my experience Apple telephone support will tell you to use third party software for transferring media from an old to a new phone when you encounter the inevitable problems. If as I do you use the phone for business software back up your data in the way that program deigns and do not rely on iTunes, particularly prior to upgrading the OS or transferring data to a new phone.

If I download a song, album or playlist from iCloud to an iTunes Match enable device, can I delete the download at a later date if I need to free up memory on the device?

The amount of free SGA memory available in the database

Hi,
How can we calculate the amount of free SGA memory available from the instance if the database is not set for Memory management.If the sga_max_size is set for a particular value and the db_cache_size and the shared_pool and all other components are specified,how can one determine whether all the memory allocated for SGA is in use?

How can we calculate the amount of free SGA memory available from the instance if the database is not set for Memory management.When the SGA is allocated, the memory is fixed, and none of it is "free" really.
how can one determine whether all the memory allocated for SGA is in use? Are you asking about usage WITHIN the pools? If so, shortly after startup the database buffer and shared_pool will fill-up and stay full . . . . .
Here is the script that I use to see inside the data buffer contents:
set pages 999
set lines 80
spool blocks.lst
ttitle 'Contents of Data Buffers'
drop table t1;
create table t1 as
select
o.object_name object_name,
o.object_type object_type,
count(1) num_blocks
from
dba_objects o,
v$bh bh
where
o.object_id = bh.objd
and
o.owner not in ('SYS','SYSTEM')
group by
o.object_name,
o.object_type
order by
count(1) desc
column c1 heading "Object|Name" format a30
column c2 heading "Object|Type" format a12
column c3 heading "Number of|Blocks" format 999,999,999,999
column c4 heading "Percentage|of object|data blocks|in Buffer" format 999
select
object_name c1,
object_type c2,
num_blocks c3,
(num_blocks/decode(sum(blocks), 0, .001, sum(blocks)))*100 c4
from
t1,
dba_segments s
where
s.segment_name = t1.object_name
and
num_blocks > 10
group by
object_name,
object_type,
num_blocks
order by
num_blocks desc
Hope this helps. . ..
