16GB iPhone 4S memory/usage problem

I have a 16GB iPhone 4S. I used to have thousands of pictures, 3 pages of apps, and around 200 songs. Now I only have 7 apps, 200 photos and 90 songs and my phone says it have no more memory. When I connect my iPhone to iTunes it says my 200 photos are taking up 9.6GB, I know this isn't right. I don't even have enough memory to update to the new iOS 6. Can anyone help tell me what is wrong with my phones memory and any ways to fix it?? Thanks.

Same exact thing is happening to me do you know what to do yet?

High memory usage problem

Firefox regularly creeps up to about 350 mb of memory usage. It runs poorly, crashes, etc. I read some other posts about how to reduce the its memory usage via about:config tweaks. I made adjustments to browser.cache.disk.capacity (was set to over 1,000,000, reduced to 50,000) and config.trim_on_minimize. However, memory usage has not decreased. I also see the value browser.cache.disk.smart_size_cached_value;1048576. I changed this to 50,000 also, but it reverts to the original number after every restart.
I have 3 tabs open right now (Hotmail, Google, and this page) and memory is at 242,000.
I should also note that I recently reformatted my hard drive. Firefox has almost no extensions or plug-ins installed (other than things like Flash and Silverlight). I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, and have 6 gb of RAM.
Any suggestions for alleviating this problem would be greatly appreciated.

235 to 285 MB seems to be a rather low notification threshold on a PC that has 3GB installed, not even 10% of RAM being used and that message is triggered.
That's a new feature in AVG, and I suspect it might need a little tweaking. Unfortunately AVG didn't seem to provide any user adjustments into that feature, so the best thing to do is turn it off if that warning message appears too often.
Here's an AVG support thread where the users says he gets that message with IE, Chrome, and Firefox. <br />

HELP: iPhoto 6.0.6 memory usage problem, iMac getting *slow*

Hi,
I have a 20" iMac with 2 Gig RAM.
I have iPhoto 6.0.6 with lots and lots of pictures and little movies (taken with an old digital camera) -- a "get info" on the "iPhoto Library / Originals" folder says there are 9836 items in there.
When I open iPhoto, the Activity Monitor indicates iPhoto is using 130meg real memory, 130meg virtual memory. With every "page down" in iPhoto (the thumbnails are running about 6 items across) about 50 meg of memory gets added to real memory, and even more gets added to virtual memory.
After just a few minutes of usage it now looks like this:
Real Memory: 382.43 MB
Virtual Memory: 1.18 GB
Eventually the computer gets extremely slow and unresponsive; I've seen the iPhoto memory usage as high as:
Real Memory: 1+ GB
Virtual Memory: 2+ GB
Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can fix this problem?

I have to say that the Virtual Memory numbers compare quite okay with both my Macs here, the Actual Seems slightly higher but noting spectacular. That said, the highest you’ve seen do see quite extraordinary.
Something to try:
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and make a library there. Import some pics and see if the problem is repeated there.

Image loadClip memory usage problem

I'm trying to create a gallery with built in slideshow. I
load the images sequentially and then use the tween class to
animate alpha values to shift between images. But when about 20-25
images are loaded, the memory usage get too high and the animations
start to lag.
I know i can remove the images again, but that means i have
to load them all over again when the slideshow starts over again.
I know there must be a solution 'cause i've seen galleries
which loads images without increasing memory usage, and the images
is cached after loading.
Hope you can help me.

No. The basic principle is that you need to set the images to
invisible. Only the two that are tweening can be visible. The
problem you are experiencing occurs when you have more than 8 or 9
images. Usually I put the first image at the bottom of the stack so
that's why I said 'the one on top'.

Memory usage problem with TDMS files

Hi,
I have used TDMS write file to save my real time data . I need to leave my VI, running for a long time (even one day ) then I process the acquired data in a seperate vi.
My problems are
I olways get memory usage message during data acquization. Also even if I finish acquization ( for example make a 2GBytes TDMS file I get the same message when I want to try to read it.
To read the TDMS fisrt I open ,configure ,read and then close the TDMS ref.Then I use the data from the TDMS as input to my loop.
By using this method I olways get (Memory usage message ) and I need to stop the process loop. Would you please help me how can I avoid this problem

your problem is the attempt to attach all the data in one big goo in memory. A 2GB TDMS file needs probably a little more than 2GB in memory if you want to read all its contents at once. That is BAAAD! You should try to write your analysis in a way that can read the data in smaller chunks and process each chunk individually instead of trying to load the entire GIGA blob at once. Computers can have a lot of memory nowadays but that does not mean that you should attempt to operate on GigaByte data in memory in one go.

Memory usage problem on AIX 7.1

Hi,
We are running Oracle 11GR2 EE on AIX 7.1 and keep getting alerts on the pgchecks (memory paging).
The alerts are coming from another system monitoring tool (Hobbit), but our sys admins are telling us it is because we are overallocating memory.
In our case, we have an 8G SGA for the only database.
Then, we are running grid and ASM.
How can I check the actual (real) memory usage by individual processes of our Oracle database, our emagent (OMS agent), and for our ASM. In our case, we have 32G of Real Memory installed, and we should not be having a memory paging issue.
For the Oracle database, it is set for 8G.

Hynix ecc reg dimm Memory usage problem for d20

Dear lenovo forum.
I Like to use for Lenovo d20 with two x5560 cpus and six 4gb hynix ddr2 pc3-10600 type of memory: hmt351r7bfr8c-h9
My problem i like to install new os but i install three 4gb modul for one cpu the os setup is stop and i get black screen. If i use only 8gb memory (two modul) the os setup is start perfect. How to solve this problem? Thanks

Does the problem follow a specific DIMM, or does it follow the pattern of failing anytime you go beyond 8GB total installed memory.
Which specific OS are you trying to install?
Did you follow the correct DIMM fill order?
I do remember during 20 series development we ran into an issue with a specific Hynix DIMM, but I can't recall which one it was. That DIMM was removed from our validation plan.

Memory usage problem

Hi Guys!
I have a GPS Track Viewer software... when i launch it, it uses ~20MB memory.(checked with task manager) when i load my first track, it will use 40MB memory :(.. after the fourth, it will use ~70MB memory. okay, let's say i believe 70MB is really needed (but i dont really think, it's too much i think) now i start to remove the tracks (all) from the program, i made a button for this. in the background it deletes a lot of arrays and objects. i deleted all the tracks and their arrays. what is the task manager? My app is using 90MB(!!!)... i've deleted the arrays and my app using MORE memory..:O I don't understand... okay, 90MB... now i want to add the tracks again... it crashes...
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Perhaps there is a memory limit (100MB?) in netbeans or in java... what's the problem? how can i see what using so much memory? do i need to use something flush function? debug?
Thank you so much!

thank you, this is a useful information, however it does not solve my problem, it just tries to hide(!). if i delete large arrays, the app should use less memory logically. what's the problem? i have no idea at all.

IPhone 5 data usage problem

I have recently been using a ton of data. My cycle starts on the 1st, it's not the 11th and I've used 3.3 of 6. Last two months I've used 8gb of 6gb. This is not normal it never used to do this.
I've turned every "use cellular data" off. I've turned off syncing, iTunes Match, send data to iTunes, ad tracking. All of it. Even turned LTE off. All podcasts are set to only use wifi. I've gone through my phone every way.
But I'm wondering how many people having this problem use the app "the score"?
If you I'm wondering if the solution is in calendars. Although I had all my emails set to manual, if you go into advanced it still shows push.
Let me know if it works for you.
Settings>calendar>advanced> then set all from push to manual.
Then go to the score app, and turn off alerts for every team you have a checkmate on the bell.
This is my last idea, I've already called apple and Rogers to see what they can do, and they told me to delete any 3rd party data trackers, and every time your on wifi to switch cellular data off in settings. What an inconvience, what's a phone without being able to use data without huge overage bills.

I thank you for the input but
"If you I'm wondering if the solution is in calendars. Although I had all my emails set to manual, if you go into advanced it still shows push."
I had mentioned "push" everything is set to manual.
Seriously I feel like i know the iphone in and out. So if there is something i havnt mentioned or if anyone has the same problem lets discuss.

Core memory usage problem

I have a macbook 2010 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo running osx lion. It has been running fairly slow recently and i noticed that out of the 4gb of ram it has 3.3 of that is being used for wired memory. Is this normal? Is my computer too old to run lion? I did also notice a decrease in speed after installing lion.

No, that isn't normal unless you are booting into safe mode. Try rebooting the computer.

High RAM memory usage compared to other systems

I'm suffering with memory usage problems, only in open 2 tabs of facebook(it's only for example, any 'heavy' page freeze also) in firefox*(for example also, but this occur in chromium also) freeze computer.
I've 1GB of memory, it isn't big but also isn't very little.
I'm using XFCE with compiz (yes, compiz, since use a very lightweight openbox-based session doesn't help, then compiz...) when system start (after login) system is consuming 130MB approximately of RAM.
after 1 hour if close all open apps and see memory usage again consume is something about 350MB, "only solution" is reboot.
all applications(htop,free -m,xfce's system monitor...) that I've tried to monitor memory usage show above scenario, except the 'ps_mem' script in AUR.
in the 'ps_mem' script the result is following (with opera browser open, less memory offensive browser but I really prefer firefox):

any needing information, tell-me!

hotvic, could you please change the title to something more descriptive? 'memory problems' sounds like you have problems e.g. remembering / recalling things, which is not an Arch issue ;P

Z87-G45, 80%+ Memory Usage in Task Manager

hey guys ran into another problem
i'm using windows 8.1 it's a fresh install and i'm running into high memory usage problem. I was running at 99% while idling earlier (system was lagging hard) so i system restored to the previous day and everything was fine until now. I see it slowly creeping up. While typing this i'm running at 84% Memory usage which seems absurdly high.
I'm using 8gb of Gskill Ram so I tried to follow the sticky above, but my BIOS would not let me changed anything under the "Advanced DRAM settings" not sure what that is either?
Anyone got a quick fix to this problem?

Just updated my killer network drivers because i saw that sticky about people having problems with it.
This dropped my RAM down to 18% while typing this at this very moment. I'll let you know if it creeps up again.
My next question I guess is what is normal memory usage on windows 8.1?

My iphone has no pictures on it and my memory usage from photo library is 6.2 Gigs. How can I reset and get back this lost memory?

After resetting my phone, I re-installed apps and connected to my computer. I made sure I didn't sync any pictures. My iphone has no pictures on it, yet the memory usage on itunes AND the phone tells me that the iphoto database is taking 6.2 Gigs. Is there a way to zero that and regain that memory?

I already tried to factory default the phone and restored it. Same problem.... I have no photo's on my phone and still have 6.2 Gigs memory being used.... Pls help.

Please help!! I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
or
B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

Good luck finding the solution. I have another posting https://discussions.apple.com/message/25145839#25145839 on this exact same issue, and that is after looking on my own for the solution on the web and on Apple's forum without any luck for a real solution. Having to RESET a device every time I need to clear out old messages from memory sounds to me like an intended pain from Apple to keep pushing iPhone users to purchase additional iCloud backup plans.
