Another Problem With Memory..

Ok, so recently I just posted that I had a problem with mem... here is another. I just checked how much memory I'm using and it says I'm using 989 out of 1 gb.. is that normal? It was 504 about an hour ago and all I have open are Adium and Safari..

The two important questions are 1) how much is inactive and 2) how many page outs are you showing in virtual memory. In fact, the second question is the one to key on. The number of page outs will indicate how often your computer has tried to access more memory than it has and as therefore been forced to copy RAM contents to the drive so it could perform the task it was asked to do. This is when your computer is being slowly choked to death.
Now don't just open the Activity Monitor, look at the Page ins and Page outs and panic because you have 30,000 page outs. Keep in mind that's an accumulative number and if your Mac hasn't been restarted for 90 days, well that number may not be relevant at all. So restart the computer, and use it as you normally do. Then check the status of Page Outs at 30 minute intervals. The faster the Page Outs mount up with your normal usage the more you'll benefit from an upgrade.

Strange problems with memory dimms(Banks) in imac 27in mid2010

Hello dear Apple community. I had a really strange problem with memory dimms(modules anyway)
I have one really good imac 27in with i7 but as you know after some years the lcd screen became yellowish and cloudy
So i decided to clean it as i have some knowledge and i did that to others lcd screens with success.
OK so after successfully cleaning and working like new ( i mean not the external screen with magnets but the lcd internally)i started it.
Before dismantling my memory was 16gb ( 4x4 dimms)
After starting it a strange problem arise without any reason! Memory reduced TO 8 GB!!!! memory banks on the right as we seeing it didnt worked at all
and it was not from dimms because i swapped them..!!!
So after a lot of thinking and asking tech guys to take a second opinion all the saying (including me that logic board failed for some strange reason.
Some days before i installed CCleaner and also Onyx because after a lot of installations and uninstallations my mac became a little sluggish..
I thought that some serious preferences files removed or some hardware settings deleted with Onyx ( is very good and powerful program that can fix the pc and also destroy it in a second) so i removed and reset all preferences. But nothing changed.. So i put a new hard drive and reinstall OXS to see if something can change.
After formating HD to appleHFS+ saw system profiler that still couldn't see all banks(16gb). I remove logic board and i put another processor i7 that i have as a back up and still nothing( some saying that only these 2 things must be faulty if memory banks not working , processor an logic board and sometimes reinsatlling OS can fix it as i mentioned before. But still nothing...
So from my nerves and after so much testings and no sleeping for 2 days as it was working i pulled off the memory modules from the right bank i put them again ( off course nothing changed) and i close it. After i restarted it like a miracle finally i saw that i have again 16gb in system profiler!!
Tech guys here please give me an explanation to this because i gooing crazy! What happened and after i pulled off the dimms while it was working the problem fixed?? It is not recomended at all this action. I forgot to mention that i did Apple hardware test and nothing found..
Sorry for long post.

Okay great news... My memory problems are solved and my Mac Mini is now running at 8 gigs of Ram. I tried the suggested DD3 1333 which the computer wouldn't even recognize.
So after visiting the Apple Store in the Fair Oaks VA shopping mall; they suggested that I try DDR3 8500 ram. I visited Micro Center in Vienna VA, and I purchased BGreg's Suggested Crucial Brand Ram. 10 minutes after I got home the Mac Mini booted on the 1st try with 8 gigs of Ram.
Some venting that Apple hopefully will read and mention to their resellers....
The people in the Apple section of MicroCenter in Vienna at first argued that the Mac Mini only supports 4 gigs. EVEN AFTER I SHOWED THEM THE SPECS on the Apple website. The clerk (who I am calling a clerk because by no means was he a "specialist") even suggested that the Apple site was wrong. On a later visit to MicroCenter to purchase the DDR3 8500, that the people at Apple recomended; Microcenter even suggested and argued that I needed DDR3 1333 and NOT DD3 8500. THIS WAS AFTER I TOLD THEM THAT Mac Mini WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE the DD3 1333 Dimms. Working in retail myself I don't go along with the concept that the customer is always right, however in this instance clearly I was.
I should point out that some of the staff in Microcenter really do try hard, however like with any business it only takes a few "know it all" bad examples to turn customers off.
Curious post thought; I wasted about $75 in gas driving to and from Microcenter because of their bad advice.

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

Problems with Memory on upgrading

Problems with Memory. I Dide not hace space to upgrade. Now i do, but It still cancels for lack of space

Actually, your problem does not sound like memory, but hard drive space. By default, you lose 10% of your drive to the OS and formatting. To tell how much hard drive space you have go to:
>Finder
>At the bottom of finder in the gray bar it will tell you how much space you have available on your hard drive.
Your hard drive should be no more than 85% full! If it is, delete, get a larger hard drive, remove items to an external drive.
GarageBand only needs 1.2 MB of space.
In order to use GarageBand, some additional content is required. If you do not already have the content installed, it must be downloaded.
Make more disk space available by moving some of your files to a different disk (such as an external hard disk or a USB flash drive), or by deleting files you don't need and then emptying the Trash

Another problem with SOAP sender

I have another problem with SOAP scenario in a different environment (PI 7.0) from my earlier post.
Scenario:
Soap Sender -> PI -> Soap Receiver
Following steps from GoogleSearch SOAP scenario in the SAP How-to Guide for SAP NetWeaver '04 entitled: "How To... Use the XI 3.0 SOAP Adapter" version 1.00 - March 2006.
I have loaded in the api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl file as an External definition and created the SOAP receiver as described in the How-to guide. It takes a doGoogleSearch as input and sends back a doGoogleSearchResponse (Sync Call).
Note that the GoogleSearch.wsdl contains a complex type ResultElementArray that refers to ResultElement\[\], and a DirectoryCategoryArray that refers to DirectoryCategory\[\]. The ResultElement and DirectoryCategory types are defined in the GoogleSearch.wsdl file.
Problem One:
The generated WSDL for the SOAP sender contains the ResultElementArray and DirectoryCategoryArray types but it DOES NOT contain the required ResultElement and DirectoryCategory types. XML Spy complains that this WSDL is not valid because the type ResultElement\[\] is not defined.
Problem Two:
I generate a SOAP message in XML Spy, provide values for the doGoogleSearch fields, and send. In SXMB_MONI, the SOAP sender payload contains only the <key> value from the doGoogleSearch message body, i.e. <part name="key" type="xsd:string" />
The other doGoogleSearch fields seem to be missing, i.e.
<part name="q" type="xsd:string" />
<part name="start" type="xsd:int" />
<part name="maxResults" type="xsd:int" />
<part name="filter" type="xsd:boolean" />
<part name="restrict" type="xsd:string" />
<part name="safeSearch" type="xsd:boolean" />
<part name="lr" type="xsd:string" />
<part name="ie" type="xsd:string" />
<part name="oe" type="xsd:string" />
Does anyone know why:
(1) PI/XI seems to leave out the ResultElement and DirectoryCategory types from the SOAP sender service WSDL file?
(2) The doGoogleSearch message seen in SXMB_MONI contains only the first <key> field, and not the other fields?
Thanks for any help with this.

Problem with memory card slot on nokia c5 03

Sir,
I have a Nokia C5 03 from the last 8 months.....
Working very well.
Recently, my memory card stopped working.
I thought that there might be a problem in the memory card and bought a new one.
Even though i inserted new card in my phone, i am getting the same error.
In file manager it is displaying as "Memory card Corrupted."
I have checked the new memory card by inserting in to another phone which was working normally.
There i have even formatted the new memory card and again inserted into my c5.
Then also i am getting the same error message........
Can any one suggest me what to do in this regard??????
Thanks in ADVANCE.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Have you also tried inserting the old memory card to another phone as well? What happened after inserting it to another phone? If it's working properly with another phone, the memory card slot of the C5-03 might have an issue so you should bring it to the repair facility to have it checked.
You can search for the nearest repair facility in your area from this link: http://www.nokia.com/in-en/care-point-finder/
Hope this helps.

MSI 645Ultra and problem with memory.

Hello.
I have big problem with my mobo. I can't run 645Ultra mobo (MSI 6547) with other memory than installed actually. Now I have Samsung DDR333 128MB (one-sided), and everything works well. But I tried to install another modules (2 pieces - 256MB DDR266 double-sided). After install one of those modules, my comp doesn't start. Mobo only beeps and there has no signal on my monitor. With installed two modules - my memory (ddr333) and one of those 256MB ddr266, computer runs, but POST shows me only 128MB :(.
What is going on? Does this mobo supports memory other than ddr333 (user manual says - YES, but now I'm not sure).

"645 ultra" DDR Brands tested with this board
http://www.msi.com.tw/html/support/testreport/6547/memory.htm
ddr 333 what brand :O
ddr 266 what brand :O
DDR 266 aka 2100 Cant run at 333 aka 2700 ;(

Problem with memory usage and CPU usage

Hello,
i have a problem with the memory usage and cpu usage in my project!
My application must run for more than 24 hrs. The problem is that the longer it runs the bigger is the memory and cpu usage!
It starts with ~15% CPU usage and ~70 MBytes memory usage. After ~ 24hrs the CPU usage is ~60% and the memory usage is ~170 MBytes!
After 3 days the CPU usage is almost about 70% and the memory usage is about 360 MBytes!
What can I do to reduce this huge recource usage?
Thank you!

Hi Pahe,
   I think the issue is memory usage, since CPU usage can increase due to greater memory requirements.
   Anyway, it's difficult to debug without seeing your code, can you post it (possibly for LV 7.1 compatibility)? Or just post a JPEG of the piece of code that can give problems...
   I guess you're appending data to an array instead of replace data elements, but I can't be sure...
   Have a nice day!

Is this yet another problem with 7.5 or is it just me . . .

Upgrade seemed to be fine, at first . . . now I keep getting distortion on songs. It seems to be quite random and just because a song has been distorted when I've listened to it once doesn't mean it will be when I listen to it again! It's driving me insane. Is this yet another bug or have I done something wrong (apart from upgrading to 7.5).

Hi Emlou,
If you have a Windows based operating system such as XP -
It seems to me that you are suffering what I am having the same problem with - the program takes up to much of your computer's processing usage. If you go into your task manager and watch performance as ITunes runs - you will see how much of the total computer usage it is taking at any given moment - that's why your songs are distorted, slowing, garbled, etc - the usage on mine spikes from 11% - 93% AT ANY GIVEN MINUTE! I have no idea why, but I have found that by going to your "Control Panel" and clicking on Quicktime you can adjust audio output to help. Click the audio tab, click Safe Mode Wavout only (checkbox) / Then adjust the "Rate" to 96kHz / Then adjust the "Size" to 16 bit. Close that and shut down and restart Itunes - it might help a little for you.
Maybe someone out there can help us find out why we are suffering with all the CPU usage trouble and how to adjust that spiking.
Thanks!
Paul

(Another) Problem with HP Photosmart - reinstallation

I have a Photosmart C5280 All-in-One and a MacBook Pro, with 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, using Mac OS X 10.4.11.
Scenario this morning:
The printer will photocopy, but there is no connection between the printer and the computer, it is not a problem with the usb cable connection. The computer will not send anything to the printer to print, and the scanner will not end anything to the computer.
I repaired permissions using disk utility at least three times this morning. (I do it fairly often anyway).
Scenario now:
I have now uninstalled the software, using the HP uninstall programme, but then deleted the remaining items manually as instructed in the section on the HP site for Macs and uninstallation. I have also emptied the trash.
Sadly however, it has made absolutely no difference. Whenever I put the installation disk into the CD drive, I can only get as far as identifying the printer. There are no printers listed, and when I tick the box, it comes up with Photosmart C5200 Series, which is correct. But the next continue box is then greyed out. (I'm wondering if following the HP instructions was such a good idea now).
I am now stuck. I have uninstalled and can not reinstall. I have used these two together for the past year (or more) without any problems. When I initially installed, it worked fine. No problems at all. I have not recently changed any software or upgraded anything on the OS. The two were communicating last week, when I did some scanning and printing.
Confession: I had the first problem (no scanning/printing) a couple of weeks ago, and decided to look in trash to see if I had mistakenly got rid of something and found an hp file in there. Pulled it back out. All worked fine again. But today, total blip, and no hp files in trash.
I would be grateful if anyone could suggest a solution. I'm capable of following instructions. Oh, I have mailed Hp, but I've had no response so far. I have also looked through the stuff on here, but haven't found a similar problem, ie the connection just disappears into the ether.

I had a response from HP:
1) Was the printer powered on? It needs to be turned on.
2) Was the USB plugged directly from the back on the printer to the Mac? You are not using a hub, airport or a USB cable more than 10 feet long?
3) Power cycle the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer. Wait 10-15 seconds and reconnect the cord. Power on the printer. Was it found?
4) If not, restart the Mac. Once you are back up, if the HP setup Assistant does not automatically launch you can launch it by clicking on Hard Drive > Applications > Hewlett-Packard > Utilities or Device Utilities > HP Setup Assistant. Double click to launch. Was it found?
5) If not, plug the USB cable into a different port on the computer. Was it found?
6) If the printer is still not found, check the system profiler for the device. Click on the Blue Apple in the upper left corner, then About this Mac. On the next screen click on More Info. On the System Profiler screen, click on USB under Hardware. On the right is the printer found under USB device tree?
7) Another thing we need to check is when you installed the software did you select the correct device. The newer printer software may contain multiple products. If you did not select the correct device during the install, the computer is looking for a different device and not finding it. To check this, run the HP uninstaller. Open Hard Drive> Applications > Hewlett-Packard > HP Uninstaller. When you get to uninstall selected device, what printer is listed. If it is not you model series, run the uninstaller. Quit the uninstaller when complete, disconnect the USB cable and restart. When you back to the desktop, empty the trash, and reinstall the software. Wait for the option to select your device!
I want to be sure the troubleshooting steps I provided resolve the issue. If the issue continues, please reply to this message with the results. We will be glad to assist you further.
It was not unreasonable, but I had checked the box that said Intermediate (level of computer knowledge) - so I thought asking me if the printer was turned on/checking the ports/ etc etc was a little basic.
However on browsing this forum for similar probs I noticed a reference to Printer Setup Repair (it may have been one of your suggestions BDAqua to a different problem) so downloaded it for a free trial. Although I regularly verify and repair permissions with disk utility, I tried with Printer Setup Repair, and got this message:

Done.
Verification complete.
837 files examined. No problems were found.
11 missing files/directories found during the verification process. They may be responsible for certain printing problems. Printer Setup Repair cannot replace these items. Please refer to the log file for a list of the missing files/directories. You may need to reinstall OS X to resolve your printing issues. Certain files and directories are deleted when using the Reset Printing System option. These files and directories, if required, will be recreated during normal printing.
That message would explain why, the last time I had a problem, it was resolved with reinstalling OS X. What I don't understand is why a file suddenly disappears? Perhaps I need to move my queries to one about OS X? (I have OS X on my other Apple and no probs there.)
Anyway, thank you for your responses and if you have any further advice or suggestions, I would be happy to hear.

Problem with memory module

The problem with upgrade memory module.
Available:
Cisco 2951 router with the default memory module 512Mb.
Additionally purchased:
Memory Module MEM-2951-1GB (SG572288FG8P6ILMH4)
Problem Description:
When you start seeing a hardware router modules, after loading the ROMMON
reading failure IOS image
The first module is worth the default 512M, 1G second unit acquired
The permutation modules as well as single use module 1G situation has not changed.
Work whether the module supplier sold me?

It shouldn't cost you a fortune, John. I usually find Apple re-sellers very obliging on matters like this. Where did you buy your memory from? If it was Apple retail they may help and explain about the residue at the same time.
It's not unusual to meet difficulties with the fitting of memory but the residue is something I haven't met before.

I have a huge problem with memory usage.

I am having two very huge problems with the amount of memory the game I'm working on is using. The first is that the background image for a part of my game takes up ~45mb of memory, but believe it or not, that's not my worst problem. i'm not worried about that right now.
The really, really big problem does involve that image, though.
Whn I'm done using the image, I can't get the resources it uses to be freed. As a result, the program uses more and more memory every time you go into that area of the game, because the memory used by tha area is just sitting there.
I used Jprofiler to figure out exactly what wasn't getting released, because I do everything I know how to make everything be garbage collected, including setting all the references to the image to null after you leave that area of the game, but nothing worked.
After I leave the area with the huge memory leak and give everything time to garbage collect, the main screen for memory usage shows about 45mb of memory used by 20 or so instances of int[], which is obviously the image.
However, this obscenely huge int array doesn't show up in the heap snapshot, which according to them means there's no reference to it or the image anywhere in the program.
Here's my question: If there's no reference anywhere to this int array, then why isn't it being garbage collected?

Maybe you haven't actually released all references to that data.
Or if you have one 45mb image, maybe you have a bunch of other huge ones and you're just seeing those.
Why do you have a 45mb background image, though? Can't you use a standard technique like tiling it?

Another problem with G4 500mhz

Ok i solved my earlier problem with the power, now I have another. But this time its not real serious. Well as you know I bought my computer used from the highschool through a auction, well i finally got my computer to turn on, but now when it turns on, 2 user profiles pop up asking for passwords (one of them being a teachers side). And I have no clue how to get around this. So if theres any way please let me know. Thanks

Well… the nicest solution would be to reformat the drive and reinstall Mac OS X and the software you need to use. Thing is, I'm assuming you don't have have Mac OS X or software.
So, one thing you can do is to contact AppleCare (their number will be in Apple's support pages) and have them send you out a replacement copy of the installation discs. They'll charge you a nominal fee for doing so but I highly recommend you do this.
That'll get you started.
If you want to do anything tricker than that you will probably need some else's help as well as the help of their Mac. Otherwise, you can just duck down to an Apple Store/Reseller and get yourself a copy of Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and iLife 06. More expensive although will be all current versions rather than the Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) that comes with a 500MHz Titanium.
