2GB MBA (2010 version) Out of memory after upgrading to Mavericks

I'm using a 2GB MBA (2010 version). After upgrading to Mavericks, I have very little ram left (<50MB). I can't run anything. Even the Internet is breaking up. Safari won't load anything. I get to some webpages using Chrome if I'm lucky... is it normal?

Do a backup. Then try running the combo update.

  • MBA screen randomly freezes, locks up after upgrade to Mavericks

    Sometimes my MacBookAir5,2 freezes, not allowing any input from the keyboard and trackpad (I don't use/have a mouse) except for the power key to force quit it. It happens AFAICT randomly, maybe while I'm browsing. In this case there're no crash reports or related messages in Console.app by the time it locks up.
    Other times it freezes and WindowServer crashes and I'm logged out. For that you can check the reports below.
    I don't know if both problems are related. This all started when I moved to effing Mavericks from Mountain Lion (which was pretty solid and I'd probably return to).
    I reset the SMC a couple of times to no avail. Any hints as to what could be causing it or how can I further troubleshoot this problem?

    I agree with Bob, run EtreCheck and post the results here.
    A couple of questions. You mentioned resetting the SMC, have you tried zapping the PRAM? If not, you can do this by:
    Shutting your Mac all the way down.
    Restarting your Mac and immediately pressing the Command-Option-P-R keys simultaneously.  Make sure you press the keys before the gray screen comes up.
    Hold those keys down until your Mac reboots again and you here the startup sound.
    Let go of the keys so your Mac reboots as per usual.
    Also, how long after upgrading to Mavericks did this problem start?

  • 13" MBP Mid 2010 won't wake up after upgrade to Mavericks from Lion

    Hi
    I read numerous threads regarding this problem from Mac Minis to Mac Pros and also MBA and MBP.  After upgrade from Lion to Mavericks, my MBP cannot wake up.  I have to hold the power button down to force it to turn off then power it back up from hibernation.  SMC reset, Mavericks reinstalled, Repaired Disk Permission, ram refresh, all done and did not help.
    It helps whenever the computer goes to sleep, whether forcefully by choosing Sleep from the Apple Menu or by closing the lid.
    Anyone please help, if not, APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS BUG.
    Thanks
    J

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • HT6114 My os x server disappeared after upgrading to mavericks

    I had purchased OS X Server on my Mountain Lion version, but it disappeared after upgrading to Mavericks. What should I do to get my Server back?

    I understand, sadly Apple set the rules & the prices.
    You will need to read the requirements for running Server.app, the old version was for 10.8, the newest is for 10.9. if you hope to configure on 10.9 you'll need to pay again.

  • Running out of memory after latest update

    First of all:
    Why doesn't anybody answer my questions from Dez. 26th?? They are not that hard, I believe...
    After I installed the update No. 5, my system runs out of memory after a certain time.
    I'm working an an 1,7Centrino with 1GB memory....
    Is it bc of the update? Do RUN change so many things?
    Hope for an answer this time...
    Mark.

    Hi Mark
    Aplogies for not responding to your earlier post on Debugging Rowset. I am still working on that. I am sure I can give you something todday if there is any straight solution.
    OK coming to the OutOfMemoryExceptions, yes this has been observed because of preview feature added in Updaet 5. Look @ http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=123&threadID=50422 for more details.

  • Lost 2GB after upgrading to mavericks

    Seems that I need to ask Apple to credit part of my new MacBook AIR purchase !  I lost 2GB after upgrading to Mavericks.  Used to be at over 6GB of RAM after booting before running my apps, now I come to the same point at 4GB !!  Anyone else have the same issue.  I changed nothing else !

    normal, RAM USE CHANGED in Mavericks to make it better
    Mavericks is designed to use RAM differently for good reason. Normal
    http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/12/compressed-memory-in-os-x-109-maverick s-aims-to-free-ram-extend-battery-life
    Mavericks uses RAM much more efficiently than any other previous version of OS X. Mavericks now has a memory compression feature that will compress the memory occupied by applications that aren't being actively used and give the freed up RAM to the application that needs it the most.
    Memory Pressure graph that tells you how stressed is the system in terms of memory.

  • My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd.

    My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd. Earlier I thought this behavior is due to spotlight indexing but it finished after 3 days. I deleted all caches from library. But no luck, still running extremely slow. I checked activity monitor for cpu usage, it shows above 90% is idle. The memory usage always shows PM - 4 GB, Memory Used 3.96 GB, VM - 4 GB, Swaped used 0 bytes, App Memory 1.82 GB, File Cache 1.44 GB, Wired Memory 480 MB.
    Thanks in adavnce for help.

    Was it the combo updater that was installed or the OS X 10.9.3 update. There is a difference.
    MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
    Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
    Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Updater on that system.
    "Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.

  • My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked?

    My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, I call apple support and they told me to bring it in but the nearest store is about two hours away. They said I need it to erase my hard drive but I have too many family pics on it.
    would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked on it? I could replace the internal and get an enclosure for the original until I get the pics out of it?
    Please advise, it's like five years of family pics I don't wanna loose them and I am worried.
    Thanks
    Al Florez

    A Brody,
    I really apprecate your very quick respond, Its too late to back up as of now, my hard drive wont load at all so I cannot follow your instruction to back it up. Learn a hard lesson but I will from now on following your link.
    Also my hard drive it is not available to do the free exchange program.
    I read the OWC instruction on how to replace the drive I was just wondering if the 2TB would work on it instead of the 1 TB they offer, I specifically asked for the Seage Barracuda because I had great experiences with it on PCs.
    Again, Thank you

  • Thunderbolt Display has issue with weird washed-out colors after waking from sleep (after upgrade to Mavericks)

    I've got a Thunderbolt Display that I use with my Macbook Air (mid 2012) - usually in clamshell mode.
    When I let the computer go to sleep, and then wake it up by clicking the mouse, the monitor turns back on but the colors are washed out and purple looking. 
    The display goes back to normal when I unplug and replug it to my laptop.
    I first noticed this problem after upgrading to Mavericks.
    I made a video demonstrating the issue here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19179-MVpWA&feature=youtu.be
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Will

    Same thing for me too.  Late 2012 13" MBP Retina.  I have to unplug the Thunderbolt cable and plug it back in.
    This has only started for me in the last two days.  The first two weeks of Mavericks was ok.
    Update:  I just got back from a trip.  I was using the laptop separate from the Thunderbolt display.  I hadn't restarted since I returned and connected the monitor.  I've just rebooted, and put the computer to sleep.  After resuming from sleep, the display is ok.  Maybe try rebooting?  I'll update if it continues.

    Hello, rohan.kishore.patel. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Battery life can be difficult to troubleshoot as multiple factors contribute to how long a charge can last.  Graphic intensive applications, display brightness and data connectivity are just a few of the items that can cause the battery life to decrease rapidly.  I would need to know a little more information about your usage patterns to give you and idea on how to maximize battery life.  However, here are some tips on how to adjust settings and charge the device that may help.

  • System becoming un-responsive after upgrade to Maverick

    After upgrading to Maverick I am experiencing massive performace problems to the point of the system not being usable.
    System: 2010 iMac
    Upgraded Yesterday morning, Upgrade process went smooth, no issues at first. First symptoms of problems were hick-ups in video playback, jerks in window switching. From then on over several hours the system became slower and slower to the point of being unusable. Performed system reboot, which took 45min, followed by fast degradation and unusability.
    Attempted revovery actions with help from Apple support (thanks, even though the problem remains so far):
    Booted system via the network into recovery mode, performed disk check: SMART status OK,  verified and repaired disk no issues deteced, verified partition, no issues detected, data volume looks correct.
    Attempted normal boot-up, unsucceful
    Performed powerdown, followed by opt+cntr+R+P boot, no success
    Performed safe boot (shift), system came back up after 1.5 hours, extremely unresponsive, but at least it is up. I am scared to try to shut it down.
    Diagnosis attempts: Other than time-outs, no unusual errors in console, file hirachy and files look Ok from terminal, access very slow. Can't see any obviously problematic processes in Activity Monitor, RAM usage about 2.5GBytes out of 12GBytes total, largest is kernel with 700MB, CPU not loaded, no high disk or network io. Evything looks to me like a pefectly normal system that runs at 1/100th or so speed.
    Maverick managed to perform a time machine back-up over night and all earlier back-up are gone. So no chance to restore back to Mountain Lion that way.
    Anybody with similar problems, any ideas for next steps?
    Thanks

  • Late 2007 15" MBP Very slow after upgrading to Mavericks

    Hi guys,
    this is my first post here. I look forward to learn and help others.
    The reason of this post is, as outlined in the title, slow paerformance of my computer after upgrading to Mavericks. It was kinda slow from before but this time it's almost unbearable to use it. I used to be able to run VMWare with 2 XP and 1 windows server machines WITH JUST 2 GB OF RAM! Now I have 4 GB and can barely run a single virtual machine with XP and the cooling fans come on just by watching a video on youtube, which also makes performance take a dump.
    These are the specs extracted from EtreCheck:

    I understand it says my RAM is way too low, but hve no idea what's killing it. So far I've disabled and uninstalled all DynDNS items. I just read about Chrome's slow performance for MBP's and plan to switch back to Safari (Firefox made my computer even slower).
    Thanks in advance for any light shed on this.
    Oscar.

    Thank you Kappy, while I was reviewing the log from EtreCheck I noticed the 3rd party preference panes, launchers and daemos. I deleted a few of them and it really helped with system performance.

    I was reading about GeekBench in the discusions and decided to give it a go, although I was able to only perform the 32-bit tests, I got 1268 on the single-core score and 2187 for the multi-core score; I don't know how good or bad those numbers are. Wish I had a before and after reading but I read about it too late, when I had already erased several items.
    I will appreciate any further input BEFORE I decide to reinstall the OS from scratch.

  • After upgrade to Maverick, my macbookpro sometimes will shut down without notice then restart again

    After upgrade to Maverick, my macbookpro sometimes will shut down without notice then restart again. During restart it says I have some error so it is shutting down. Dunno what heck is going on here. It has been like this after I updated to Maverick.
    What happens? So regret to upgrade to Maverick.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    nana4design,
    some 15-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pros are known to have a defective NVIDIA GPU. Since you’re getting GPU panics, yours might be one with the defect. Apple had a gratis servicing program for this model’s defect that lasted for three years from the date of the MacBook Pro’s purchase; they still offer the servicing program, but it is no longer guaranteed to be gratis. I’d recommend making an appointment at your nearest Apple store, to have them run their Video System Test on your MacBook Pro to confirm whether or not its NVIDIA GPU has this defect.

  • Macbook slower after upgrading to Mavericks

    Hello, I'm owner of a Macbook Pro MD322LL/A and I haven't had any issues with Lion (the OS that came with) but after upgrading to Mavericks it changed a lot:
    Lower performance.
    Transitions in the launchpad are laggy (and also buggy).
    Start up time increased.
    Anyway, that's why I want to make a clean install of Mavericks. Because I think that all these things happens because of making an upgrade rather than a fresh install (same thing occured with my iPhone and iOS 7, but that's another story )
    And my question is:
    Is it risky to format the Hard Drive and install the OS again? And do I need to do some things before doing it?(in order to keep the license and else)
    Assuming that I need just to format the hardrive and install the OS X, isn't it a "simple" of doing it? (like Cmd+R but making a clean install)
    Thanks!

    As you can see, there's a couple of things that are "bad" so instead of correcting every single problem (that would take me much longer) I just want to do a clean install and thats it.

    I suppose you could do that with Internet Recovery as well. You should not have an issue in terms of losing your OS license, as long as you use the same Apple ID that you have been using with your Mac.
    I didn't understand the license thing, but if I erase the disk and perform a clean install from a bootable USB that license won't lost am I right?
    I made a bootable USB of Mavericks just using this simple command:
    sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/SINTITULO --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
    What do I need to do now? go to disk utility select erase, and then install using the USB?
    --- TO: hands4 ---
    When do I need to do that? after erasing the hard drive with disk utility?

    Yes, I don't really care about the things that my mac has, all the "important" things were backed up
