Apps are using too much memory. how do i find out how much each app is using?

MACAir Memory 128gb: the apps are using too much memory. i get not sufficient memory for upgrades. how can i find out how much memory each app is using?

Mavericks is designed to use RAM differently for good reason. Normal

Mavericks uses RAM much more efficiently than any other previous version of OS X. Mavericks now has a memory compression feature that will compress the memory occupied by applications that aren't being actively used and give the freed up RAM to the application that needs it the most.

  • How do I find out how much space OSX and applications are taking up on my HDD?

    I am thinking of moving my OS and all applications to a SSD to free up space on my MBP.
    My question is how do I find out how much space OSX and installed applications are taking up on my HDD so I know how big the SSD needs to be?  Also, what is the best way to move these files across to the new SSD once installed?
    Many thanks,
    Andrew.

    If you do command-click or right click on your hard drive and select get info, it will tell you how full the HD is.
    there are some apps that can show you exactly how big particular apps are

    I replaced my internal drive with a SSD for performance reasons a few months ago. There are a number of ways to move your files over to the new SSD. I am a fan of the clean install, which might take a bit more time and effort but results in a very fast and trouble free mac. An easy way to do this if you are replacing your internal drive is to put the old drive in an external drive enclosure. Then you install the new SSD and install mavericks on it. In my case I used Diskmaker X to make a Mavericks installer (DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) . Then you can reinstall your apps from scratch, and finally move your documents over from the external drive.

  • HT4847 How to I find out how much storage is used on my icloud account?

    I recieved an email stating I have over 5G stored on icloud.  How do I find out how much I have stored on icloud?

    guidance does not work. I cannot find out what is consuming my capacity, so I can decide whether to sustain it or not. For example, I would like to know if Mail is the culprit and to what degree. It is the only other app I have on iCloud other than those that are free. When in my iCloud account, I cannot find "Manage" or "View."

    Ask them.  Unless they are a bunch of fibbers, you can easily find out.
    Also, note that many things about iTunes work better when there is one account per person.  Consider going that way.

    How can I find out how much is left on my ITunes gift card?

    My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account on it (via the Store > View Account menu option). On my iPad and iPhone it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores and it should show on the screen that you are taken to)

  • HT1689 How do I find out how much is left in my iTunes account on an iPad with retina display? I've swiped to the bottom of the screen to look for it, I've looked in settings and everywhere else I can think of! Help please!

    How do I find out how much is left in my iTunes account? I've looked all over and can't find it!  Help!

    In the iTunes or App Store app, go to the Featured Tab, and swipe all the way to the bottom.
    On the button that has your Apple ID it should state your account balance under your Apple ID.
    If it doesn't. Tap on the button to bring up your Apple ID. At the top of the window that opens there should be a line that reads: "Apple ID Balance:"  and the amount you have.

  • How do I find out how much tax costs

    Trying to purchase an app via the app store, the app is $99.99 and I have $100 in credit.  But I am getting the error that I have insufficient store credit to make the purchase.  In the forums, others have had the same issue, and many of those issues were resolved as not having enough in credit to cover tax.
    So how do I find out how much tax is going to cost for any particular app so I will know how much more I will need to add in credit?  And why is the cost of tax not included with the cost of the app?!  Why is there no actual representation of the real costs including taxes and any additional fees for any given app in the App Store?!

    The tax is the sales tax rate for the state in which you reside. Multiply your sales tax rate times the price of the software to find out what is needed to cover both.
