Anyway to fully use all the ram in bootcamp?

is there anyway to fully use all the ram in bootcamp? where now only up to 2.17 usable from my 4gb ram in macbook pro or this is normal?
I'm using window 7 with 32bit.

Use the 64-bit Windows 7 to get the full amount of RAM.
It's a limitation of 32-bit Windows in conjunction with a limitation of Apples Boot Camp.

Oracle using all the ram on my server

You may not expressly be using all the RAM in your machine but OS X will, whether you know it or not.
Each time you read a file from disk, whatever was read is cached by the system; when the file or program is no longer in use, the memory is marked free for the system to recover for other purposes but as long as it remains in memory the next time you need to access that disk information it's simply read from memory.
The more RAM, the more disk data is kept around and the faster your machine will operate until that memory needs to be recovered or you reboot (or otherwise flush the disk cache.)

HT3918 Does Snow Leopard use all the ram installed, I know that Leopard didn't.

Does Snow Leopard use all the ram installed, 10 gigs in my case. Leopard didn't.

You should be OK with that much, however, besides the basic needs of the OS, it will depend on how many and which applications are open and how memory intensive they are. Someone might easily get away with 4GB and someone else might have trouble with 16GB.

Not using all the ram

Hi!
I"m wondering, I have FCE exporting a video while iMovie is importing one. I see that my Macbook is only using 750 mg of ram. How come it doesn't use the whole 2 gigs?

There are no options that cover RAM usage in the Energy Saver System Preferences. In fact, with a MacBook, you can't even select "better performance" usage of your processor. This functionality is built-in to the processor and there is no GUI for adjusting it in Mac OS X. So, there are no options you can configure to alter the amount of RAM used or not used with Mac OS X, it's all automatic.

Photoshop isn't using all the ram that I have.

I recently installed 8gb of RAM into my Macbook Pro so i could increase the performance of Photoshop. Before using Photoshop, I increased the the "memory usage" slider up to 75% but after I do that, its only using 1gb worth of RAM. Am I doing something wrong?..I would appreciate of someone could help me out.

Did you double-check that you have not set it to run in 32bits mode? (right-click on the Photoshop CS5.app icon, select Get Info, and see if start in 32 bits mode is not checked.) http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/828/cpsid_82824.html

I am runnig Firefox 18.0.1 and the plugin-container is using all my ram, have tried altering dom.ipc.plugins to false but makes no difference. Any advice please

I am running Firefox 18.0.1 and the plugin-container is using all my ram, have tried altering dom.ipc.plugins to false but makes no difference. Any advice please

plugin-container.exe is used to run Flash and other plugins so if they crash they do not take down your main Firefox session. But... I don't think memory usage would be that different if you tricked Firefox into running Flash inside firefox.exe. (There was a thread with the trick, but I can't recall the details. It was not a regular Firefox setting.)

Why Why Why didn't i get warned about some of my super used all the time programs not working with Lion? I am so sad. What can i do about it besides buying upgrades for all the programs??

I am so upset because i didn't research enough before upgrading to Lion. I can't use a lot of my pograms i used all the time now. I want to go back to where i was before Lion. Is there a way to do it without costing me more money?

I didn't say the price was necessarily a drawback; just thought I'd throw my two cents in if the OP didn't want to purchase more software (as he/she alluded to in the first post). Even if it's a small cost (in your opinion), the OP said they didn't want to spend any more money. I didn't think about buying it on ebay; but that's a good idea. Just keep in mind that the Parallels free phone support is only good for the first few months after purchasing a new copy, so if you're buying a used copy, you won't get free phone tech support. I think they have per-incident support once the free period is over, though. And they probably have forums you can use to troubleshoot any issues.
Parallels can also cause a slow/laggy OS, which could be seen as a drawback. Of course, you could always purchase more RAM if the computer does lag, but there's another cost. I'm sure it doesn't happen to everyone, but it can happen, that I've seen. Especially if the computer you install it on is an older one that barely meets the Lion system requirements to begin with.
I agree with you; I purchase hardware and software for the future. If my new iMac won't run software from 2004-2008, I guess I'm upgrading. I understand when people don't want to upgrade, but after so many years, it's not really a choice.
I prefer the dual-boot method; it's cleaner (in my experience) than a virtual machine software program, and causes fewer issues with the main OS installation. It's really just preference, though. The OP can try both ways and decide which is preferable for him/her.
What I posted was (as I said in my first post) just my suggestion. I wasn't trying to override what you said about Parallels being the answer; just adding a new answer that I didn't yet see in this thread, in case the OP wanted an alternative. Maybe I mis-read the defensive attitude in your post, and if so, I apologize. But you seemed to be defending something that I wasn't truly even attacking to begin with. I feel that the best choices are the most informed ones, and with more options, the OP can find the best answer for him/her.
Have a nice day!

Someone that lives in the us bought me a itunes voucher, is there anyway i could use in the uk?

someone that lives in the us bought me a itunes voucher, is there anyway i could use in the uk?

No, all iTunes gift cards are country-specific - a US card can only be used in the US on a US iTunes account. You could give the card back to the person that gave it to you, or sell/give it to somebody else.

Forced to use all the same versions in suite?

Just wondering... If you are using the suite, are you forced to use all the same versions (ex CS3) of each of the programs in the suite? For example, if you want to upgrade to the CS4 suite (from CS3), but want to keep AfterEffects back at CS3.

No, this should be no problem. This is even in the license agreement. Direct copy & paste from the CS4 legal blurb (extract):
5. Updates.
If the Software is an upgrade or update to a previous version of Adobe software, you must possess a valid license to such previous version in order to use such upgrade or update. After you install such update or upgrade, you may continue to use any such previous version in accordance with its end-user license agreement...
The products remain their separate "suite" as mentioned previously with the limitations in interoparability I pointed out. The CS4 installer itself will not deactivate, delete or modify any CS3 products, only older Acrobat versions will be fully replaced by v9.

Export out of Motion uses all my Ram?

Why when I export out of Motion it uses all my Ram? Whether I have 6GB or 10GB of Ram it uses it all.
Then it starts all the page outs. Right now I am at 12GB of page outs.
From what I understood you should not have a lot of page outs thats why I purchased more Ram.

Well, as a bit rate, HDV has the same throughput as regular DV. The throughput for ProRes is higher so if you have a lot of multiclip angles, you'll need RAID speeds to run it.
However, HDV is a Long GOP format and as such is not really meant for editing, it's designed for file compression. Pro-Res is an intraframe codec. You can wiki the difference if you want to get into specifics, but the gist of it is that HDV requires a lot of processor power to uncompress the GOP structure, allow for editing and then rebuild the GOP structure on export. This is what makes HDV undesirable for editing. It also eats up a lot of what Motion uses to perform math for motion gfx.
If you're working with multiclips, and you have FCS 3, then you have access to the ProRes LT and Proxy codecs, both of which are high-quality/low bitrate codecs. I would convert the HDV to proxy or LT (whichever your system can handle), edit, and then batch re-digitize to the source tapes. However, I would want the high-rez source to be ProRes regular, not HDV.

Can not use all the tools in my drawing markups any ideas on getting them to work?

Can not use all the tools in my drawing markups any ideas on getting them to work?

Hi tonys60181,
Could you please let me know what version of Adobe Acrobat are you using.
What all drawing tools are you unable to access?
Is this issue specific to one PDF file or all?
What exactly happens when you try to use any drawing markup?
Please let me know.

I recently bought an ipad 2 and wanted to use all the apps on my iphone4 on my ipad but have been charged when I use my apple id. What should I have done to share the apps?

I recently bought an ipad 2 and wanted to use all the apps on my iphone4 on my ipad but have been charged for the first app I downloaded when I use the same apple id. What should I have done to share the apps and should I have been charged? 2 months ago when I got a new iphone, i was told in order to get all my apps back as I hadn't backed up my files, if I used the same apple id I would 'purchase' the app, but then would not be charged as apple would recognise that I have already purchased the app. That worked, but when I did the same thing on my ipad 2 using the same apple Id, I was charged... what should I have done and is this right as I thought the whole point of having multiple apple devices was I could share apps between devices. please help! thanks.

Using the same Apple id and Password you should be able to download purchased apps without being charged again.
I download to an iPad/iPad2/iPhone3 & iPhone4 with no problem.

Do I need to use all the hard drive for time machine or can I partition it

Do I need to use all the hard drive for time machine or can I partition it

You cannot partition a TC disk.
See pondini about mixing data and backups.. but remember this.. the TC has no way to back itself up and TM cannot backup files on the TC. Anything not backed up on the TC will be lost at some future point.

TS1388 My battery on my macbook pro all of a sudden keeps using the battery power really quickly, so I am having to rechareg it constantly. Does anyone know why this occurs or how to fix it. I have used all the energy saving tips.

Hi My battery on my macbook pro keeps running low on power very quickly and I have to keep recharging it. This has never happened before. I have used all the power saver options, but it keeps happening. Can anyone help. The battery seems to be losing power even when it is turned off.

Hi BigThinker,
How old is your Mac? If it is an older one, then the battery may just be dying. You can check by clicking on the Apple in the upper left-hand corner, then clicking on About This Mac>More Info>System Report, then click on Power (about half way down the list). At the top of the resulting display, you should see the following type of info:
The Health Information will tell you if your battery is going to need replacement soon. If it says Normal, then it is not the battery.
Cheers,
GB

Currently using Lightroom 5 as a standalone on a mac and two windows machines one desktop one laptop. with CC can i still use all the machines or do i have to take out an individual license for each?

with CC can i still use all the machines or do i have to take out an individual license for each?

Your LR5 license allows for activated installations on two machines. Of those two machine, only one can be using the licensed software at a given time. The same applies with CC, except with CC you won't be able to sneak in the third machine. What you can do though with CC is have it installed on all three and sign in and out of the different machines as needed.
If you intend to be using all three machines at the same time then you do need three separate licenses/subscriptions to be in compliance with the license agreement.
