Additional ram = more wired memory?

Quick question. I have upgraded to 4gb of ram today, and noticed that my wired memory has jumped from 140mb or so, to 422mb now... Is this normal? I add up some of the processes, and it doesn't add up to 422mb.... Does my wired memory allocation increase as my total memory does?
Can someone tell me what their numbers are?
Listing some of my info...
Free 2.85gb
Wired 424mb
active 580mb
inactive 170mb
Firefox using 148.9mb
kernel_task using 71.98
Mail 55mmb
windowserver 44mb
The remainder under 20...

Rod thank you for that second link, i hadn't read that one before. I did do my google searches though!
The reason i was concerned is that from a fresh reboot i'm straight away at 460mb in the wired memory pretty much leaving me with 3.5gb of ram... so in reality i only upgraded 1.5gb. I just want to be sure i dont have any 'weird' processes running. I just cant see where all of this usage is coming from, when doing the basic math.
I attached a link so you can better see what i'm talking about.
Thanks again for your time.

  • Wired memory counts up to 100%, how to find unknown process leaking memory

    Hi,
    On my Macbook Pro 2011, 8GB wired memory counts up to 100% over a period of 4-5 regular usage days. The more I use the macbook, the more wired memory grows until I have to restart again, otherwise the machine becomes slow because it uses the harddrive for memory. This is not normal behavior!
    Attached is a screenshot of the activity monitor. I'm not able to identify the process which leaks the wired memory.
    I had once an eyeopening experience: I was about to restart my macbook totally overloaded by wired memory but then I canceled the shutdown because of some reason. Some of the processes and programmes were already terminated and SURPRISE, the wired memory was down to 10%! The 8 Gb were all of a sudden shared by free, active and inactive memory, as it should be! So some process was terminated during shutdown which caused the leak and even freed all of the wired memory. I did work with the macbook for 2 more days without any memory problem. Once I restarted, the leaking problem started again.
    My gut-feeling says the hole problem started when I installed VM Ware Fusion a while ago. But I did a clean uninstall.
    The solution could be to identify the leaking process, but how should I do this? It is also not clear to me wether wired memory is real, virtual, private or shared memory displayed in the activity monitor. Is there any tool which identify memory leaks?
    According to g_wolfman, the only process with a hugh difference between real and virtual memory is the kernel_task and the many Chrome Renderer processes. I have always 30 tabs open in chrome plus Safari (Flash disabled). I'm not able to terminate the kernel_task of course.
    Is there any way to isolate the troublesome process? There is no save start mode like in Microsoft Windows possible? This would be the first think I would do, checking if the problem persists in save mode.
    Disabled every start login objects btw.
    See in the image the amount of wired memory compared to the processes which are active. This is NOT the smart memory management OSX is capable of.

    Any suggestion? Is my system doomed to bleed to death every 3-4 days, until memory went 100% red (wired)? I would expect OS X to be smart enough to indicate memory leakers. I really do not get it.
    I migrated the same settings and applications to my freshly installed (10.7.4) 2007 Macbook. There the majority of RAM is active not wired.
    The only big difference is: On my 2011 Macbook Pro was VMWARE Fusion installed.

  • MacPro with10.7.3. running a Python script in terminal I see a : "There is no more application memory available on your startup disk". Python uses 10G of 16G RAM and  VM =238G with 1TB free. Log: macx-swapon FAILED - 12. It only happens with larger inputs

    On my MacPro with10.7.3. while running a Python script in terminal, after a while, in several hours actually,  I see a system message for the Terminal app: "There is no more application memory available on your startup disk". Both RAM and VM appear to be fine at this point, i.e. Python uses only 10G of 16G RAM and  VM =238G with ~1TB free. Log reads: " macx-swapon FAILED - 12" multiple times. Furthermore, other terminal windows can be opened and commands run there. It only happens with larger inputs (text files), but with inputs that are about half the size everything runs smoothly.  So the issue must be the memory indeed, but where to look for the problem/fix?

    Have you tried with the --diag flag for diagnostics? Or changing verbose to 3 to show debug messages? Clearly one of three things is happening;
    1. You ARE running out of disk space, but once it errors out the space is reclaimed if the output file is deleted on error. When it fails, does your output have the content generated up to the point of termination?
    2. The application (Terminal) is allocated memory that you are exceeding
    3. The task within Terminal is allocated memory that you are exceeding
    I don't know anything about what this does but is there a way to maybe run a smaller test run of it? Something that takes 10 minutes? Just to see if it works.

  • Second internal HD, additional RAM & proper settings for them

    Hi guy!
    I want to thank you in advance for reading my questions and answering it. It may be long.
    Today, I've received my memory upgrade 4GB (2X2) from OWC. And my 2nd hard drive Seagate Baracuda 500GB 7200.
    I read all my the instructions and installed all memory and HD myself, all seams to be working, my system shows RAM and HD. However, there are some questions I have unresolved, I called tech support they couldn't tell me more than just "call the HD manufacture and ask them"
    1st. After I've installed HD and started the computer, the window came and said that I need to initialize the HD. I clicked "initilialize" it took me to disk ut. I erased HD and gave it a name "Mac HD2" Now, it is showing me that I only have 465.64 GB of space available. It shows that only 108MB is used. Where is the rest? I know that it won't show the whole 500GB, but it ate up 35GB, itsn't that too much? So, my question about this is: Should I be doing something else with this HD? Should I be calling the company that sold HD and have them replce it? Or is it ok to hav such a loss?
    2nd. What is the best way to place my folders & files on both HDs. I was thinking to take my Documents/Movies/Music/Pictures folders and just place them on HD2 and keep HD1 for applications only. Is this right?
    3rd. My HD1 is 160GB (148.9 as per info.) My Documents/Movies/Music/Pictures folders are about 55Gb my application folder is 8 GB I should have about 86GB left (if we take 148-55-8) I only have 67. What am I missing? The user folder (yuriyork) is 60GB. I'm totally confused with where the space is.
    With this said, I'm back to the 2nd question what files/folders I should move to HD2? I just want to do it right to try and up the computer performance.
    4th. When I do move files/folders to HD2 should I just open HD1 and HD2 in finder and simply drug and drop folders from one window to another? I think it's not right way of doing it. I think I need to somehow specify to the system that Documents/Movies/Music/Pictures folders are now located on HD2
    5th. With increase RAM, should I do any setting on OSX to tell it that there is lots of RAM and that it can use it as much as it wants? Like for example, I know that in Virtual PC I can set up the amount of RAM it uses. So, with that I thought that I may need to specify something like that in some other settings, if so than where?
    I hope I didn't confuse you all with some much stuff. To hopefully simplify this, I'm going to put the JPG file on the web for you guy to see what folder are what size and may be give me an idea what is the best way to do it.
    Here is the photo:
    Again, thank you for taking your time to answer my questions, you guys have always been very helpful.
    Thanks to all!!!

    #1: The primary reason for the discrepancy is numbering convention. To hard drive manufacturers, a kilobyte is 1,000 bytes, a megabyte is 1,000,000 bytes, and a gigabyte is exactly 1 billion bytes, so 500GB is 500,000,000,000 bytes. Computers, using the binary system, don't use 1,000 to represent a kilobyte; instead they use 1,024.
    Therefore, when you divide 500,000,000,000 by 1,024 (KB), again by 1,024 (MB), and again by 1,024 (GB), you'll get 465.66 GB, which is almost exactly what you're seeing.
    #2: When I installed a second hard drive in my G5, I moved my Music, Pictures, and Movies folders to this drive. Then, I just had to point iTunes and iPhoto to the new directories. The sidebar links still take me to the original folders on the original drive, but that could likely be fixed if I replace the folders with an alias or symbolic link that pointed to the new location.
    #3: Try downloading an app such as Omni DiskSweeper to help locate where all the space has gone to. It'll give you a breakdown by each folder and subfolder on the drive.
    #4: As I stated in #2, an alias or symbolic link should work if you want the sidebar links to continue to function after moving the folders. Otherwise, just direct iTunes and iPhoto to the new locations.
    #5: OS X manages memory on its own for each application. There's no longer the need to allocate RAM to each app like there was in the pre-OSX days.
    When installing additional RAM, it's often recommended to reset the NVRAM to ensure that the computer recognizes all of it properly. To do this, reboot the computer while holding down the Command, Option, O, & F keys. This will boot you into open firmware. At the prompt, type the following (and press return after each one, of course):
    reset-nvram
    set-defaults
    reset-all
    The computer should reboot after the final command.

  • Wired Memory

    I was working on a 1.25 GHz G4 iMac with 1 GB of RAM. It seemed to be sluggish, so I launched Activity Monitor and checked for an explanation of the problem. The "Memory" view showed that over 800 MB of RAM was "wired". When I rebooted that value went down to under 200 MB. Can anyone offer an explanation of why that "wired" RAM value was so high? I can't give an accurate explanation of what might have been running before on that computer since the last reboot, but at the time I looked at it there wasn't much running at all.

    Here's one explanation.
    About OS X Memory Management and Usage
    Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
    Memory Management in Mac OS X
    Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
    A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
    Understanding top output in the Terminal
    The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.

  • Which Apple MacBook Pro has the most RAM and HDD memory?

    I would like to know this because I plan on buying a MacBook Pro and I just want to make sure I'm buying the one with the most RAM and HDD memory and not some other one. Why do I need specifically this? Because I'm a gamer; I like playing games. I'm a watcher too; I like watching movies. Last but not least, I would like to sync my iPhone to a device that's from the same company. I don't know why, but I guess it's because I don't like uncoordination, or something like that. In short, I don't believe in "clashing". Even electronics.

    The Hardware In Any Mac is Exactly the same as used in Any PC of like model year and included hardware. i7 being faster then an i5 CPU.
    Apple uses the same exact Intel CPUs and Chipsets that all other computer use manfacturer today. There is No difference.
    Ogelthorpe is comppletely correct that Windows, by nature of the OS, is better for running games and the hardware it comes on, by nature of the way they are manufactured even though it is the same hardware as in a Mac, is better for gaming because of the way they are cooled and the overall case design. More air vents and better air movement across the parts that get hot while gaming.
    Mac notebooks on the other hand don't cool as well by nature of the air intake and exhaust systems. Both air intake and exhaust are at the screen hinge and the fans are designed to be quieter then on most Windows PC notebooks. Even if Windows is installed on Mac that Mac will run hotter then a PC with the same exact hardware configurations. This is a fact and experienced by many Mac users. Including myself.
    Mac fans run all the time. From the second you start them up to the second they shut down completely. I personally don't know of any Windows PC notebook that do that. My Dell E6420 with the exact same CPU and more RAM, 16GBs in the Dell and 8 in my Mac, with the Dell having 2 drives, one a SSD the other a Spinner in the media bay, and the Mac having only one Seagate XT series in the main bay the Dell fans rarely come on unless I am taxing the system in some way. They are not on continuously and certainly not when I turn the system on. So Apple has designed the Mac to run the fans continuously to try and keep the system cool from the first power on.
    So your statement is completely false. But it is what most people think even though it is unfounded.

  • Wired memory does not clear after safe boot

    My iMac started freezing up about a month ago when I was watching a video and would only boot up in safe mode. I noticed in Activity Monitor that 5.30 GB of memory was "wired" (out of 8 GB total). I was able to boot normally after cleaning the caches.
    The problem has gotten worse and the iMac now freezes after a short while of playing video.  As of now I can ONLY boot up in safe mode and Activity Monitor always shows 5.30 GB of wired memory, however no processes are using more than 1% of CPU (other than Activity Monitor itself). 
    Today I downloaded and tried a couple of memory cleaner apps just so I could reboot normally, but the wired memory (5.30 GB) won't budge.  After doing some research I learned about the kextstat command to see what memory is being wired.  This is the process using the most memory (assuming that longer numbers are the largest):
    71    0 0xffffff7f80e98000 0x1aa000   0x1aa000   com.apple.kext.AMD4800Controller (8.1.2) <70 69 10 9 5 4 3 1>
    Also, here are the last 2 lines from the SYSTEM LOG just before the freeze (each line was repeated 7 times):
    7/2/13 12:44:23.325 PM coreaudiod[272]: Enabled automatic stack shots because audio IO is inactive
    7/2/13 12:45:21.280 PM coreaudiod[272]: Disabled automatic stack shots because audio IO is active
    Any suggested next steps in troubleshooting are appreciated.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.  
    These steps are to be taken while booted in safe mode.
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    for k in {,/S*}/L*/E*/{,.?}*.kext; do test -f "$k/Contents/Info.plist" && /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :CFBundleIdentifier" "$_" | egrep -qv "apple|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|CalDigit|HighPoint|hp-fax|JMicron|print|SoftRAID|stex" && echo $k; done | open -f -a TextEdit
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3 
    Repeat with this line:
    ls -1A /e*/{la,mach}* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 4
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, Steps 1-4 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • 'Wired Memory' issue

    I have seen many of this same problem before and had it labelled a kernel memory leak. Basically at activity monitor it shows a list of different 'types' of ram in use, wired, active, inactive and free ram. I have a total of 2GB ram but the wired memory takes up a very large amount of ram, around 850mb, and slows my mac down substantially. Even after all applications have been closed leaving only finder open, the wired memory still remains at this size. What is taking up this much ram? At start up it would be at around 100 - 200 mb then after a couple of hours would shoot up to 800-900 mb, slowing my computer completely. I know that there may not be a solution to this problem since wired memory cannot be controlled since it is used by the OS but if anyone has any possible explanation or solution to this please tell me.
    Hopefully Apple will also see this post, diagnose the problem and update the operating system.
    Thanks

    Applications -> Utilities -> System Profiler -> Software -> Extensions
    should show all the drivers. When you select a driver the bottom panel may show a "Get Info String" which in many cases will include a company copyright.
    Most of the Apple drivers have "Apple" in the Get Info String. Hopefully some driver you are interested in, includes the authoring company name.
    NOTE: Many Apple drivers are Universal, which just means it includes both intel and PowerPC code.
    My mac also has other problems like a disappearing dock, shows a shadow and the reflection of activity like the dock does, when i turn of my magic mouse and use the keyboard shortcut CommandOptionEject to put it on sleep, the mac goes into sleep mode but leaves a display open, and freezes, so I can see everything that was there the moment the mac went into sleep on the monitor; basically a still screen, and when i press the power button, it does not wake from sleep and it does not respond to anything except holding the power button down to turn it off.
    This is not normal behavior.
    You might try installing Mac OS X over the top of your current install (you should have a backup just in case, as you never know what could go wrong; Carbon Copy CLoner, SuperDuper, etc..).
    This is a drastic suggestion. If that does not clean things up, you might consider backing all your stuff (maybe back it up twice because I'm paranoid), reformat your drive with Disk Utility, next doing a clean install, finally restoring your personal stuff from your backup (maybe letting the migration utility do this as part of the installation).

  • Buying additional RAM

    I want to buy additional RAM for a brand new iMac.
    1. Is there anything in particular I should be looking for when buying more RAM? Do I just get anything that says "1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM "? Is there a particular brand, etc.?
    2. What is considered the going price for (2x8GB) for the new iMac?
    Thanks.

    1. Is there any advantage to the Crucial brand vs. OWC?
    2. I want to buy the new iMac with the least amount of RAM possible 2x4GB, try it out, and add more RAM as needed. Is there a way to measure when I could benefit from the additional RAM? Some way to measure how much is being used while having Photoshop, Premiere, etc. running?
    Thanks.

  • Why is wired memory less than what's used?

    why is wired memory less than what's used?

    A whole lot of the stuff you use can safely be paged out and back again with impunity. Wired memory is memory that cannot be paged out to Disk.

  • Installing additional RAM into hp s5150t

    I have a quad core s5150. I recently tried to add two additional RAM modules. I verified that I had purchased the correct RAM on curcial.com and by speaking with their reps. The computer would not take the RAM in any configuration. We tried seating the new RAM into the old modules one at a time and it still would not work. At last, the crucial rep told me to try and update the BIOS. Hard as I tried, for three hours, I was unable to find the BIOS update on the HP website despite looking where the HP video told me to look. There were lots of update options but no BIOS heading. The auto detect tool could not identify my computer for some reason. The HP Update tool installed with the machine said no updates were available.
    I am wondering a few things, 1) Where can I find the BIOS update on the HP site? It is not in the list of updates on this page, where it is supposed to be:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4002...
    2. Is it possible there is a problem or conflict beacuse the machine shipped with Windows Vista and I updated it to Windows 7? Looking in the BIOS, the last update was May of 2009, long befoe Windows 7 was updated from the old VISTA files.
    3. Any other reason you might know for the modules to not be working? We exchagned them for a fresh set already and still the same problem. They are clicking into place. Not sure what to try.

    Thanks for your support, Jaco. I appreciate your input.

  • No RAM banks passed memory testing?

    I was running Firefox and everything froze up, even the mouse was stuck. I tried to force quit, but it didn't work. So, I turned the computer off, and when I tried to restart I get nothing. The fans start up, but the screen remains black and I hear 3 loud beeps.
    I looked this up and it means *no RAM banks passed memory testing*. I have no idea what that means, but I need to fix it ASAP since all my schoolwork is on this computer. With limited computer knowledge, is there a way I can fix this myself? (i.e., mashing special sequences of keys while putting my feet behind my head and chanting OM?)
    The nearest Apple store is soo far away... This has never happened before, and I haven't had any problems since I bought the thing almost 3 years ago.

    Can you boot now?
    If not, next you should reseat (take it out and put it back in) the memory. Can you boot now?
    Next, you can try replacing the memory (take both out if you have 2 and get one replacement to see if it works). Can you boot now?
    If these steps didn't work, this is likely a logic board issue. There are some vendors who will repair the memory slots, or Apple will replace the logic board (Apple doesn't repair your logic board). Some Apple stores have a flat rate (around $325+) to repair anything wrong with your Powerbook.
    If may be that an Apple Authorized Service Provider is closer to you, which you can find at http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/
