Addressbooksync and sync serviceagency are eating up all my memory

Acording to the Activity monitor, Addressbooksync and syncserviceagency are eating up all my memory. I force quit both of them but they come back on their own. When I force quit the complet apple software, when it comes back on it starts the mail program on its own, it their a way to stop this? The memory usage problem seems to have started when I asked Address book to check to duplicates - how do we get things back to normal?

You need to connect your device to the computer, and 'unsync' them via iTunes, if they are albums that were created by syncing the device. Otherwise, you can manually delete phots that were taken on the device that are in Camera Roll.

Only sync chosen songs. Even with that I had a bad song once that was corrupted and it blew the ipod touch's mind. Can't remember how I found the song, but deleted it off the computer and was able to get a fresh copy off this quite old CD. Also, settings-general-usage, you can see which files are gathering up in your memory. There are some surprisingly large programs.

I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos. The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time.

I sometimes have blue and red square-shaped dots appear on my MBP; especially but not exclusively when I'm watching videos. The dots don't stay in the same place; and also they are not there all the time. Also, sometimes my animations (applications opening, windows being dragged, etc.) will glitch as well. Again, this is not a continual thing; it just happens variously throughout my day. MBP Model A1212, OS X 10.6.8, 2.33 Ghz 3GB RAM.

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

I am running iTunes on an IBM comp system Win XP with a 70gb hard disk. I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder to an external hard disk. How do I get the apps to go their?

I am running iTunes on an IBM compatible system running Windows XP with a relatively small hard disk (70gb). I have 4 kids with 4 IPOD Touches, multiple IPOD Nanos, etc. Their apps and album art are eating up the hard disk space. I changed the Media Folder through Edit, Prferences, Advances, iTunes Media Folder to an external hard disk. The new music downloads and purchases go there but the apps and other items do not. How do I get the apps and other iTunes software and downloads to go to the external hard disk

There is no built in function to make this happen.
Your options are:
Upgrade the existing hard drive.
Try creating a link for the app folder on the external drive... this may or may not work.
Realistically, a larger hard drive is a better solution, then use the external drive for keeping a backup of the ENTIRE iTunes folder and any other personal data on the system.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Photos transferred from your computer are removed from the iPhone the same way they were transferred from your computer, via the iTunes sync process. To remove all such photos, deselect Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera followed by deleting the photos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete.

The back and forward arrows are greyed out all the time - How can I fix this?

I am currently using firefox ver 21. However the forward and back buttons are greyed out and will not work. I would be happy to re-install the program but how do I re-install without losing all my bookmarks and settings.
Please advise.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Something that eats up all my memory? (or hard drive space?)

Hi,
Someone told me that there is something in Adobe Premiere Elements that I need to turn off as it eats up memory unnecessarily. Is this true? If so, what do I need to turn off. All i know is that my laptop is full and I don't believe I have that much on it and I have a hard drive with a 250 GB capacity.
Thanks.

lithea
I just figured out what your turn on off referred to when I ran into your Premiere Elements 8 wireframing question.
In Premiere Element 8.0/8.0.1, the Automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer features are major grabbers of computer resources.
The Premiere Elements 8.0.1 Update was supposed to take care of the Automatic Background Rendering part, by disabling its default status.
The AutoAnalzyer part you had to take care of yourself.
1. Automatic Background Rendering.
Go to Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 Timeline workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/General and make sure there is no check mark next to the
option about Background Rendering.
(If you have not download and installed the 8.0.1 Update, please do so. See Help Menu/Update. If that does not work, then use the 8.0.1 download
from Adobe Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.1 update
once installed this will be no "8.0.1" seen.
2. AutoAnalzyer
In the Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 workspace, click on the Organizer Tab in the row below the active Organizer header to open the Elements Organizer workspace. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalzyer Options, and turn off every option under that category.
To get back to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, click on File Menu/Exit.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Something is eating up all my memory on my Mac Book Pro.

I think that I downloaded some virus that is eating up all of my memory on my Mac Book Pro. I had 50 gb and not it's zero...Thank you.

Sorry, but where and what is The Finder? I am running Tech Tool to check out my Apple Macbook Pro. My Apple disc utility says that I had
40 GB and then it went down to zero with very little usage. I am an honest person, Ogelthorpe, and I made a mistake by looking at Chatterbate and
maybe this **** site had a virus on it? I also looked at some old Busby Berkeley movies on You Tube. The hard drive problems occurred right after these
two searches. I have been erasing unnecessary things but as soon as I get some free space, it just disappears again, right away. It is like a stomach
worm in a dog that eats whatever hard drive space that I can muster...Thank you, again, Ogelthorpe, and it is now 3:45 PM in Caserta, Italy...Grazie!

My Indesign and Photoshop CS6 are telling me not enough memory

I have the new iMac with a 3.11 TB fusion hard-drive and 16 G of memory. My Indesign and Photoshop CS6 are giving me low memory warnings and are very sluggish. According to everything I have found there should be no reason for this. So far it is slower then my old mac pro which I used CS3 on. I realize that the new CS is a RAM hog but what I have should be more then enough to build a half page ad with 22 placed photos or a game-board which is mostly vector art without it acting up. Has anyone else had this issue. Is there a way to allocate more memory to these programs?

You know Mr. Mylenium, the more I think about the more I don't want you to explain yourself unless you can be helpful. The reason I try to avoid using these forums is precisely because of answers like yours. Completely snide and unhelpful. I have been doing graphic design for 14 years now and have always used macs. One of my frustrations is that they are not as easy to get into as they used to be. That being said, I am a designer. I think with the creative side of my brain not the technical. If you cannot be helpful then please don't answer. I have no time for that kind of stuff.
One more thing... just in case it helps you give an actual answer (yes my snidish frustrated side is definitely coming out right now)... the programs did not start out slow. I've had this since January and last month is when it started. Because of my many years of experience I am thinking that it probably has to do with some incompatible upgrade.

HT1848 I synced my on my iPad 2 to my pc yesterday and now I can not open any of my apps on my iPad2, those purchased and those that are free. All it does if I click on the app is flicker but does not open. can anyone help?

I was told I could sync my music on my pc with my ipad2 by an apple agent. I hooked my ipad2 up to my pc and did so, but now I can not open any of my apps on my ipad2. when I try it just flickers and does not open. Can anyone help?

On you iPad, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
Follow these steps to force an app to close:
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it on by one until all cleared
Now do a Soft reset of your iPad:
Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, try your Apps again and see if this resolves the issue.

I have just updated my iphone 4s to the latest software and synced it with itunes. All my music was previously on the phone, but now many tracks seem not to be on the phone, despite the track title showing up. How do I get them back on the phone?

Or, if you use Wi-FI to sync music, make sure you have it enabled on your phone and wait till all the music tracks are synced.

Computer is getting a new hard drive and my iPods are full of all my stuff!

I have a 3rd generation Nano and a 160GB Classic iPod. Here is my problem and I am hoping that someone can tell me how to proceed through this. My computer crashed and is getting a new hard drive installed now. I have all of my music on the Nano and all of my movies on the Classic. When I get my computer back, it will be completely bare of anything other than the original operating system. How do I set up my new iTunes account so that it won't delete my entire saved libraries when I plug the Pods in the first time? Ideally, I would like to just transfer all of my old content straight back into the new iTunes library after I set it up.
Can anyone give me any guidance on how to pull this off?
Thanks,
MH75

I had the same problem when my computer crashed.
What you have to do is under the FILE menu, there is a thing known as Lybray/ Export Lybrary (Depending on your version of ITUNES) And click Export. Save it to a potable floppy/CD/Flash drive. When you get your new Computer, hit IMPORT, and click that file, and everything will be transfer over again. Ill be like you IPOD never left home! =D
