8820, memory leaks, don't buy one.
In my humble opinion, this memory issue is a severe problem and the black berry OS should be "considered broke until further notice! new 8820, no pics, music, videos installed. The berry wipes itself out when used as an internet browser. The machine wipes out all history and logs, after visiting nfl.com, hour glass from hell, then poof, everything gone.
Further info..........
I suspect that the Motorola software might control physical key sensitivity. My Droid X came with software version 604 pre-installed. If anyone has version 604 but does not have the problem, then the mystery continues. I now have the 2 piece holster (shell / holster combo) and it works fine. Following is link to the problem one-piece unit :

If I don't buy one to one will Apple set up my Macbook?
I'm wanting to buy a Macbook Pro soon from the online Apple store with education discount. I'm really not good or confident with computers with any type, so I'd prefer to go to an Apple store and have them set it up. Firstly, if if i walk into the store with the new Macbook (make an appointment with a genius) will they help me transfer all my data from my old PC laptop? I know you can buy one to one, but my nearest Apple store is 150 miles away so it really won't be much use after the initial set up! Also, will they help me sync my iPhone and iPad to the mac, as I have no idea how to sync devices to a new computer without loosing everything. Thank you!
Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for help. I'm pretty sure they will help you out. I don't know if they would charge for that, but I also don't think you need to buy One for One coverage. However, it's easy enough to ask when you get to the store.
If all you need to do is transfer your data files from the PC, then I suggest you make a backup of your files onto an external USB drive. Even a flash drive would be sufficient if all your files would fit on one. The Mac can read an NTFS formatted drive. It can read and write a FAT or ExFAT formatted drive. This would be easier, faster, and simpler. Plus you get 90 days of free telephone support as part of your standard warranty. -
Osx Lion memory leak: my MacBook pro is usable only 10 minutes after boot
Hi all,
10 minutes after boot it works just fine, but then it slows down and take centuries to open any application. Checked with Activity monitor:
on a boot, no user applications running: Free memory: 2,35 Gb, Wired: 459,7 Mb, Active 3 Mb, Inactive: 1,18 Gb
In 10 minutes, idle: Free memory: 8,4 Mb, Wired: 468,1 Mb, Active 2,36 Gb, Inactive: 1,17 Gb
Somehow all the free memory leaks to the active one, without me doing anything. I tried launching several programs to see if the memory will get adjusted accordingly, but it does not. Time machine is stopped. Tried disk repair is CMD+R mode, fixed permissions, killed most of the user processes - no success.
I've installed Lion on top of Snow Leopard a month ago and didnt feel any problems so far... Now my MacBook pro 2,4 GHz is completely useless, finally, after 6 years of seamless work :( Thanks, Lion
Any ideas how to deal with it?
Thanks,I do not see anything like this on my system which would lead me to believe you may have a defective installation. So, my suggestion:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer. -

My computer is running low on RAM, and when I look at what processes are using the most memory, firefox is the number one using between 28,000 to 93,000k, so I'm guessing that it has a memory leak.
And because of that memory leak I have to update firefox, however I really dislike the newest version of firefox and I'd prefer to stick with the version I have, which is 3.5.Often the memory problems are not just from Firefox in isolation, but partly relating to all the extensions available for it and then the videos and animations it runs on media rich sites.
The first thing to do is to upgrade to firefox 3.6 which is at least a supported version (Maybe not for much longer)
* see [[updating firefox]]
Next version after 3.6 is 4, you should avoid that, it did have some memory problems, that were worse than 3,6 and firefox 4 is no longer secure or supported.
The techies at Firefox have been working on memory problems recently and have made many improvements, but some of these improvements are only seen in the trial versions of Firefox.
I would in fact suggest you upgrade to Firefox 5 the current release version (soon to be replaced with Firefox 6)
I am able to run Firefox v3.6 to v8 on legacy XPs with less than 1GB RAM. Firefox in itself is not necessarily very demanding in terms of RAM. I am not sure what the figures are you are quoting, or whether they are high. ( Note 1Gb is in the order of 1 000 000 k )
As for not liking the set-up of new versions of Firefox, there is quite abit that can be changed, maybe you would be able to configure it more to your liking with little effort. -
What if I don't have the Apple Component AV Cable or Apple Composite AV Cable to connect my iPod to? Do I have to buy one to watch videos on my iPod?
Hi there,
I am assuming you have an ipod nano 6th gen (the small one with a touch screen)
unfortunately, the ipod nano 6 gen can not play videos whatsoever unless you hack it so even with a cable it does not work.
I hope this helps cus im new

I didn't have my credit card on my itouch and i put it on to buy one song and then took off the credit card. My mom checked my bank account and I was charged over $20 for something we can't find. So I don't know if someone got into my account or what but I would like my money back.
Hello jumanjet,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are having issues adding payment information to your account.
If your account information does not match your credit card, you may get a message stating "The credit card was declined."
To expand on the above, your billing name or address may not match the address listed on your credit card statement. Any discrepancy in punctuation, abbreviation, or capitalization can cause errors, which might prevent you from purchasing from the iTunes Store. If you moved, or if your zip code changed recently, ask your credit card company to make sure their records are up to date and match exactly what you are entering as your billing information.
For more information, see the following helpful resources:

In looking at Windows Task Manager I found that plugin-container.exe was taking over 100% of my CPU and my system was frozen. Is this a memory leak or other bug?
Thank you! I have been having problems with Adobe Flash since downloading the new 11.1 version. I will download it again and reinstall it, hopefully that will correct the problem.

Applescript Image Events appears to have memory leak (or I don't know what I am doing)
Using Image Events to create images and thumbnails for a website. The following code results in very large memory leaks in Image Event process. I have documented results of test runs in the comments.
The leak (or poor coding on my part) results in a total system halt if I attempt to process more than about 400 images at a time. Basically, I run out ot physical memory. I am running a new model 13" MBP with 8GM RAM. I have to manually stop Image Events to reclaim the memory (or reboot of course).
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

5.7 MB left in Image Events after run with only open and close
22.0 MB left in Image Events after run with open, save and close
45.9 MB left in Image Events after run with open, scale, save and close
A run with 382 photos selected used OVER 3.8 GB (gigabytes) and the
mac ran out of physical memory so I had to stop the test.

I have a 2008 21-inch iMac, and a 2010 MacBook Pro, both with 4 GB RAM, running OS X Lion 10.7.3. Ever since I installed Lion, I've had this problem of available memory dwindling to almost nothing (10-20 MB) after a day or so of usage. Last night I went to bed and the MacBook Pro had 400 MB available (according to Activity Monitor) and when I woke up this morning it was nearly frozen with only 10 MB available.
I'm not an extreme techie but I've been working in the IT world for over 30 years, including 3 years with Apple, and in my experience this situation is called a Memory Leak. If it were just one of my systems I would suspect something local, but they both behave the same way. (My partner's machine does the same thing.) I've installed the 3rd-party app Memory Freer, which frees up 6-800 GB each time I run it. But as time goes on the memory fills back up again more quickly, and finally I have to reboot.
Checking Activity Monitor, it's not just one app that takes up memory - they all seem to grow over time. (Mail, iPhoto, iTunes, Word, Chrome, etc.) Chrome seems to be the worst offender, with a plethora of Worker and Renderer processes grabbing 10-80 MBs for each open window - and I often leave 10-15 open at any given time. But all apps' memory usage grows over time, even if I haven't accessed them - witness last night's spontaneous bloat on my MacBook.
I've read a couple of other threads on Memory Leaks, but most point to a single app or just suggest Memory Freer. Does Apple know it's got a major league problem here? Are they doing anything about it?
One other point - I get the spinning ball on a lot of tasks, most often with Word and and Excel re-calc, which can last 3-5 seconds, and is another indicator of system overload, even when I've cleared the memory with MemoryFreer and there is supposedly several hundred GB of RAM available. This issue lessens after reboot, but is almost constant with Microsoft Office apps.LKHill wrote:
I tried the kextstat message and the response was:

which apparently indicates that there are no kernel extensions running.
That means you don't hve any non-Apple kernel extension. There are still lots of other possibilities for third party interference. Are you running any kind of anti-virus or clean-up software? Those aren't needed and will likely just cause problems.
I understand what you're all saying about unused memory going to waste, but for MacOS to operate "correctly" it would need to free up previously-allocated memory as it is needed by other or new applications, and it doesn't seem to be doing that. It's just acting like it's out of memory, with all processes slowing to a crawl.
"Free"? You are still looking at memory. If all processes are slowing to a crawl, then that is a problem worth investigating. If you can't get past the assumption that memory is the cause, you'll never figure it out.
I did check CPU utilization as well, and it's rarely over 25%. However, on one of my systems, Page Outs were about equal to Page Ins, substantially over the 10% "healthy" threshold that was suggested. So I upgraded to 10.7.4, and Page Outs are down in the acceptable range. The overnight bloat also seems to have gone away, but each app still creeps up with time, albeit more slowly now.
I too would like to return to the days of 10.6 where I didn't reboot for days - or weeks - and Microsoft apps didn't display spinning wheels with each reactivation task or any simple calculation or text move.
So, in other words, you fixed the memory problem but the performance issues remain. That tells me that it isn't a memory problem.
Also, because you seem unwilling to look past memory, I'm unwilling to accept your CPU usage claims. Sometimes it takes several attempts before I can get people to setup Activity Monitor correctly to see exactly what is going on with their systems. That is step 1. We haven't made it to step 1 yet.
It seems clear that Lion's new process model is at least partially to blame here. With two completely different systems running (work MacBook, home iMac) plus my work partner's MacBook experiencing all the same symptoms, it's not likely my own setup. So I've also ordered an upgrade to 8 GB RAM.
Here's the rub. If low memory isn't the cause, buying more won't help.
I guess I'm just not accustomed to hating a new MacOS release, but between these performance problems and the inexplicable need to Duplicate TextEdit documents in order to do a Save-As (yeah, I know, Versioning is a great idea, blah blah - please get rid of it anyway) I really, really hate Lion.
It's just an operating system and doesn't care how you feel. I strongly suspect that feeling is more the explanation of any issues you have. I hate Linux. I really do. Therefore, I don't use it. While I would love to help you figure out what is wrong with your machine, that will only work if you meet me halfway and help look. If you have already identified the cause, then you don't need my help. The problem is Lion. Erase your hard drive and the problem will be gone. -
Thanks for all the responses for this problem. Here is what I've come
up with so far. I believe I have found the culprit.
1) First, I used the LabVIEW VI profiler with memory tracking enabled.
This didn't show what VI was hogging the memory, so it didn't help. It
reported only 10M of memory was being used, when Windows NT reported
110M in use by LabVIEW.
2) VI references had been mentioned as the possible culprit if the
references had not been closed. I then opened a VI reference at the
beginning of the program, used these references throughout the loop, and
then closed them at the end of the loop. Result: still had a memory
leak.
3) After some troubleshooting, I started deleting some sub-VIs out of
my program to see when
the memory was freed. I thought I could isolate
which VI was hogging the memory. This seemed to have worked, because
I've done it twice, deleting different VIs up to a point, and when I
delete one of them out of the diagram, the memory is freed. This is
what I'll explain below.
Every iteration of the loop, the front panel is converted to a .png file
and saved to the drive for output across the network to any browser
which has connected. Using the LabVIEW/vi.lib/utility/printvi.llb/Get
Panel Image.VI, the front panel can be changed into a .png format. The
next step is where the problem lies. A Java applet is looking for a png
file to download to a browser when a request is made. Therefore, the
panel image which has just been made needs to be saved to a file. The
Graphics & Sound -> Graphics Formats -> Write PNG file.VI is used for
this. This is the VI which is causing the problem. Upon looking at the
VI, it just calls a CIN. Therefore, I'm not sure how to find out why it
is
hogging the memory. If I delete this VI, and I don't save the front
panel to a png file (but I do convert it to png format), I don't have
the memory leak.
Any ideas?

Solution for addons with memory leaks needed! (check / mark them)
The Problem with Firefox is that there are a vary of plugins from other developers, but it could not be that users have to live with growing memory usage or memory leaks by these addons. This gives also Firefox itself a bad impression and I think there should be a solution to stop the trend because as a user I can not always identify what's the problem now and why the firefox-process gives no memory free but it makes firefox partially unusable if I have to open more than a few tabs.
In my opinion also popular extensions that are used by a lot of people still have memory leaks or even the addon-developer does not know that his addon has one.
Is there no possibility that firefox helps, that addons can't produce so many memory leaks or otherwise Mark them in the Addon repository if they have leaks or memory problems?!Being a rookie, I thought memory leaks weren't
something that java developers had to worry about.No managing memory is what you don't have to worry about.
That doesn't mean that your code still can't have memory leaks in it.
Now I'm starting to get java.lang.outOfMemory
Exceptions. My application just keeps eating up more
more ram until.... kaboom!The garbage collector can only clean up stuff that is no longer being 'used'. If you hold references to stuff that you no longer use, then you are creating a leak.
>
I think I get the ram back when the java app exits.
So I don't know, if this is technically a memory leak
or not. But It's a problem; Is there some way to
explicitly call the java garbage collector and then
recover from a OutOfMemoryException?
As I pointed out above, the garbage collector collects garbage. It isn't garbage until there are no more references. Leaks are caused by holding onto references even though they are no longer needed. The GC can't do anything about that.
I would appreciate any responce. (even if it's just a
one liner)
Since it sounds like you are creating a professional application I would suggest that you buy either JProbe and/or OptimizeIt and run your app through them. They will find memory leaks. And as an added benifit will also allow you to determine the bottlenecks in your application. -
How do I release memory when done with a large Image?

I found that after the memory footprint grew to about 750mb, it reset down to about 130mb again, so it seems that GC does eventually kick in. Perhaps what I have is fine.
That question brings me to the code sample. Typing an image file name in a text field is soooo 1980s. It would take a long time and much hard work on the part of the person testing it, in order to get to an OOME.In my actual application I'm using drag-and-drop to specify the image. The text field was just to simplify the code sample. How you get the file location is not relevant for the question - it's how the resources are released. If you're saying my code is fine regarding and shouldn't be holding onto any resources, that's great. I'm not saying that. So far I've not looked closely at the code, and am no expert on resource caching in any case.
