24" IMAC RAM MAXED OUT...

I have the previous Imac 3.06 24" duo and have 4g of ram on board. Is there any third party work around for the 4g maximum ram on this machine? I'm finding some of the newer adobe apps running a bit sluggish.
I think I know the answer to this but I couldn't resist the question...

Check in your user manual for the specs required for your model. You can then buy any memory module meeting those specs. I believe they are 200-pin PC2-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMMs.
You might try macsales.com or datamem.com.

RAM maxing out - MBP

My MBP has been running very slowly recently. I've noticed that the RAM is all in almost constant usage.
Do the screen shots from activity monitor and memory clean tell any of you geniuses anything? These were taken with nothing open other than Safari and activity monitor.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Yosemite has totally changed how memory is dealt with on the Mac and Memory Clean is worthless with the new OS. Looking at the Activity Monitor RAM tab shows that memory pressure is rather high, an indication that you either need to run fewer applications at the same time or upgrade your computer. Having run Yosemite on numerous computers (I'm in IT) there is no doubt in my mind that (a) it runs best on a computer with an SSD and (b) it needs a minimum of 8GB
As Csound1 points out, Yosemite will always show it is using nearly all the memory installed on the computer. I'm sitting in front of a 16GB computer and I certainly don't have 16GB worth of applications running (even Safari, as big a hog as it is, has only 2 tabs open) and Activity monitor is showing nearly all the memory is in use. But the memory pressure graph is nearly at the bottom.

IMac CPU maxed out on nothing??

Can someone explain this to me?
My iMac's CPU has been pegged for pretty much two days now and I have no idea why???

Nevermind...Just found it. Curiuos by F@H is running at full bore in the background but not showing in the panel.

How do I get my iTunes (both purchased and cd's) into the cloud as I cannot use match my iMac and MacBook are too old to use the right OS and maxed out RAM memory upgrades, but have iPhone 4S and now 64gb iPad and libraries on desktops plus iPod!!

So very excited bought iPad and new speakers today! Want to get all my music sorted as across iMac (G5), MacBook os 10.6 (maxed out ram and memory) and old iPod. Saw Match would be an option but can't use due to old OS so I can get the raw music library files but then what do I do to get all in one place? Any help appreciated.

A good route would be to attach a USB drive to the macbook. You can use the drive to assemble a copy of all of your music from your various devices. iTunes on the macbook can be used to create a new library, located on the USB drive, into which you can import all of your music.
Two major benefits:
1. From here you can run iTunes Match across your entire music collection; and
2. You will have created a full local backup of all of your music on the USB drive.
Once complete you will be able to access the music from any iDevice capable of running iTunes Match, Do remember as you add music it is important to maintain a local backup in order to keep your music safe.

Which 3rd party ram can I buy to max out my imac 2.93ghz i7 without the imac shutting down?

Which 3rd party ram can I buy to max out my imac 2.93ghz i7 without the imac shutting down? I know and apple knows that there is an issue with this but, I'm wondering if there is anyone here that has solved this issue. Apple wants waaaaay too much for 16 gigs of memory.

There was an issue with mid/late 2010 iMacs mostly, as evidenced in one of the threads:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2588800
However, I'm not aware of any current or remaining problems. I have a mid 2010 iMac and solved the problem by sticking with a total of 12 GB RAM (4 GB OEM original and 2 x 4 GB added from OWC). So, if you're not sure, contact OWC - they were actively working on the problem last year and if you buy 16 GB from them and they don't work, you can easily return it. Or, be super safe, and stick with a total of 12 GB - I'm finding that 12 is really quite enough even though I do a fair amount of photo, graphics, and video editing.

Maxing out on RAM

Hey
My old powerbook came with 128, I added 512 to start then exchanged that with a 1gig so it was running on 1.128. No problem at all. Spec said max was 640.
I now have the macbook pro 2.16 C2D 15.4 screen. It came with a removable gig ram and I had a gig from my previous MBP. However - I feel 2gig is not enough. This MBP says it can only do 3gig ram. Recent models can do 4. I'm wondering if anyone has maxed out the ram on a 3gig version and run it on 4.
I'm thinking of pullng out both 1gigs and sticking 2x2gig in it. Just want to make sure it is possible.
Appreciate any help.

Hi,
one benefit of 2x2GB is that you still have the 'pairing' advantage of some small percentage more speed when the memory is accessed.
And secondly, if you decide to get a Santa Rosa MBP in the future you can use this memory for it.
Other than that, you are right, not much use.
Have Fun

Why does my memory max out at 70% (using iStat) @ 2x1GB RAM 667mhz

Hi,
I'm using iStat as a monitoring service and I have 2x1gb RAM installed and a 2.4 core2duo processor. I run multiple programs at once (Firefox, Dropbox, MS Office, iTunes) and my memory hovers around 71% all the time (it gets sluggish around 70%). It never has gone up or past 74%. I figure it should max out around 100% right? I recently upgraded to 2x2gb or 667 memory. Will I still have the same problem of hitting a threshold? How do I get rid of this ceiling? Thanks!

Hi bmose14,
I'm not entirely sure how iStat Pro monitors RAM (I always use Activity Monitor for that) but I know Snow Leopard changed how RAM is monitored. Previously in Leopard if you had, for example, 2GB of total RAM it would show that as available and then just immediately allocate the RAM that's being addressed by the GPU. But in Snow Leopard, I find that I have 1.75GB of total RAM (as it doesn't calculate the 256MB of VRAM my shared GPU is allocated).
I'm thinking you have the Intel GMA X3100 GPU (144MB of RAM) and as such that's being calculated here, in addition to the RAM being used by the programs and OS. With that being said, I don't think you can ever reach the 100% mark. I know I fired up iStat Pro on my machine (prior to responding) and I'm also hovering around ~80% despite Activity Monitor showing about the same as "green" in the pie chart.

Crazy to buy a maxed out late 2013 iMac now?

Was waiting to see if there would be any update but alas, no. Not sure I want to be an early adopter of a retina 27" iMac. Looking at a nearly maxed out non-retina (aka late 2013) 27" iMac. Only about $400 less than similar equipped retina model. Am I crazy or what? Use is just home computing and home video/photo editing. I just looked at retina 27 in store. I can see the difference if I try I don't see point in waiting for next gen chips either.

I just did something similiar. I waited and waited for the Retina iMac to be released before I made my final iMac decision. I was on board for even max'ing out the Retina iMac until I learned it would not support Target Display Mode. I already own a Macbook Pro w/Retina. And while I understand not seeing 5k each and every time, I expected (current technology limitations or not) the Target Display Mode to simply reproduce the same resolution as the Macbook Pro when connected via Thunderbolt.
Once I learned that the Retina iMac did not work as a secondary monitor I made my Late-2013 iMac decision. I understand where you are coming from because I had the same 'fears'.
It kills me to not have the 5k version when it exists, but last year's version (including TDM functionality) fit my day to day needs better.

IMac G5 gray screen on startup and fan maxes out!! Help!

I've heard this problem quite a bit on several forums, but have yet to find an answer. I Need help!! My iMac G5 delays on startup ( i hit the button, and startup doesn't actually start for a minute or 2), and when it does, i get the gray screen, and then after another minute, the fan goes crazy and maxed out until I manually shut down. I reset the memory, and check the LED lights, (all came on normally). What's going on here!? I appreciate any help

If the troubleshooting solutions listed in Mac 101 were of no help & you found no solutions to your problem(s) listed in the various Knowledge Base Articles see if the following suggestions are of any help:
Except for the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices/peripherals from your computer.
Step 1: Restart into Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key during startup. The comp will run a complete & lengthy file systtem check, then start up w/only the required kerenel extensions & w/o running any Startup items tthat you installed.
If you are running OS 10.4 it will also perform some font finagling.
Try starting up normally again. If you are still stalling, restart in Safe Mode & move on to Step 2...........
Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
Step 2: Open Library>Startup items folder-the root level Library, not the one in your user name folder.
Look for potentially problematic 3rd party items such as virus scanning software components, etc. Remove 1 or more items to a location outside the Library folder, such as the Desktop, then restart normally & see if your Mac stalls. It it does, try removing all the items in the Startup items folder & restart. If all’s now well, place the items back into the Startup items folder 1 by 1, restarting each time you put one back. If and/or when the stall resurfaces, you just identified the faulty component.
If the above does not work, then it’s time to move on to Step 3.................
Step 3: WARNING-This step can be tedious-removing .plist files from the /Library/Preferences folder.
Remove the entire Preferences folder from the Library folder on your startup drive then place the files back 1 by 1 until you see the problem return. *The Mac will automatically create a new Preferences folder in the Library folder*
Alternatively, you can take half of the items out (all non-Apple .plist file, for example), restart to see if your Mac stalls, then move to a smaller set of items, repeatingn the process until the culprit is found.
Or you can use Preferential Treatment which is a FREE utility that does all the work for you.
Hang in there & good luck!!!!

HT1423 i am replacing ram in an early 2009 imac. easy - right? but the pulling on the tabs didn't work. i have had the ram sticks out before; but now they don't budge. should i apply more pressure? use a tool to pull harder? will the tabs break off?

sorry for the format - my 1st question...

thanks Kappy.
the computer has beem working for years after my 1st ram removal; but i may have pushed them back too hard. i did pull firmly - tried pulling up slightly; tried tugging on the sides of the stick; pulling in pulses. the only thing i have not tried is using needle nose plyers with protection on the tab film itself.
have you had the pulling harder ever work? or break the tab?

RAM maxed after Mavericks install. Please help.

My 3G of RAM is maxed out after installing Mavericks on my mid 2007 imac. 2.4GHz intel Core 2 Duo ; 3 GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM. I cant even run two apps without it getting bogged down and I can't find any good solutions on the forums. Please help. I've looked through the forums as I have always done before, but have been unable to find any solid leads this time.

Cpu use maxed out on export

working with a mac pro, 4 core 3 gig speed, 8 gigs ram, fcpx. I shot off a logitech webcam in quicktime, 5 gig file, imported to fcpx, exported thru a cpmpressor preset for vimeo, 720p. It took 5 hours to export and between 98% and 100% cpu.
something has got to be wrong, any suggestions?

Firstly I would expect the CPUs to be maxed out since FCP & Compressor are designed to use all the computing power available. As to the time, well it depends on so many parameters. An input movie in a compressed format that is 5GB quite big - I find a 15 min 1080p movie can take 40 min to export to file also on a 4-core Mac Pro 2013 and I would guess that yours must be at least an order of magnitude larger so I'm not sure that 5 hours is totally unreasonable, (especially if you are not doing background rendering). Some-else with more experience than I may be able to make a better judgement if you supply more details.

Memory maxed out when running weblogic 4.5

I am the tech support guy for my office, but I am WebLogic illiterate. I have a user who is running WebLogic, but when he runs it, his RAM and virtual memory max out. Are there any settings in WebLogic for memory allocation? Or is there a known problem with memory?

Please see my reply in misc.

Hi.
I am running WebLogic 4.5.1.5 under Solaris 2.6. I am using JDK 1.2.2
with HotSpot. When we shutdown our server, it essentially crashes with
the following error:
# HotSpot Virtual Machine Error, Unexpected Signal 11
# Error happened during: mark sweep
# Error ID: 4F533F534F4C415249530E4350500BC2 01
After looking into the problem, we found that it is easily recreatable,
simply
by (1) starting the server, (2) hitting any web page (which causes
FileServlet
to be loaded), and (3) shutting down the server.
I have attached a tail of my log file as evidence.
Anybody else seen this problem? Is it a Weblogic/HotSpot compatibility
problem?
Thanks.

Maxed out MacBook pro or Mid level MacBook pro with Retina?

I am entering my first year in university in the next couple weeks. I am going to be studying commerce for the next 4 years. I want a macbook that will last me for the 4 years and still be a good product at that time period. Now I am wondering if I should spend $2000 on the maxed out MacBook pro or 2600 for the midlevel MacBookmacbook pro with Retina display. Looking forward to great feedback. Thanks

It depends on how far you want to go - and how much you want to spend - in maxing out the computer. Let me visit the Apple Store -
The 'base model' you should go with is the:
15-inch: 2.6 GHz
2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
750GB 5400-rpm hard drive
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
Built-in battery (7 hours)
This will be a 'stock' item and has the maximum amount of RAM that Apple will install and is $2,199. The only modifcation to make on this model is the CPU and hard drive, as it also comes with the maxed out VRAM for the NVIDIA graphics card. I wouldn't go for the extra speed bump on the CPU - it's just not worth it. What is worth the extra money is an uprade to the hard drive - from the 750GB 5400-rpm to the 750GB 7200-rpm for an extra $50. If you really want to max it out, of course, you could add the $900 option of the 512GB SSD, but I wouldn't do that - simply too much to pay. So for $2,249 you could get:
15-inch: 2.6 GHz
2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
750GB 7200-rpm hard drive
Intel HD Graphics 4000
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
Built-in battery (7 hours)
...and have a very fast (not warp speed, but fast) computer that should you ever decide to upgrade, you can.
As for the Retina display, it's simply something that I would not invest in at this time. The 'base' model, with only 8GB of RAM is $2,799.00. Increase that RAM to 16GB, and you're looking at $2,999. The extra $750 just isn't worth it. And with few applications taking advantage of the Retina display (if they ever do) you're going to be looking at pixelated tools, text, etc., for who knows how many years. You could get by running only Apple applications, I suppose, but I'm just not ready to be placed in that kind of restrictive mode... are you?
Just my 2¢, again...
