Awful memory bug

A few days ago my computer started to not reuse inactive ram, which has led to incredibly low performance.
After a minute or two, the ram is usually full (and I have 4GB), and it starts to swap like mad. Sometimes it takes ten seconds or so to bring a Safari window to the front, or more than 30 sec to bring Photoshop to the front (it's running in the background!).
Strangest thing is, I have absolutely no clue why this started. I didn't install an update, and I didn't start using any new software.
Has anyone a clue how to fix this? It is immensely annoying.
Thanks, Julian

Hi, and thanks for the tips so far.
I have of course cheched the Activity Monitor (it shows all processes), and there is none using over 100MB. I didn't take the time to sum them all up, but it's obvious it's less than a GB.
Virtual memory is normal as well.
The active & inactive memory just grows huge after some time. Way too huge.
I've had a chat with the developers of Transmission, while using that app the problem is especially big, because it has so much memory throughput. (It does happen with any app though.)
They told me, that it's a bug that more Os X 10.5.5 users are experiencing... but I haven't found any reports so far.
@nerowolfe: That could also be... but it would be a very strange kind of faulty memory. Because even though it decreases my computer's speed from Bugatty Veyron to Citroen 2CV, it hasen't yet managed to crash it. (I have lots of HD space to fill :-)).
I'll just try it.
Thanks again, Julian

  • Does the "Warning! Not Enough Memory" bug still exist in Logic 8?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm wondering if the dreaded "warning, not enough memory" bug still exists in Logic 8. Here is a detailed account of the bug from Logic 7: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=767597&#767597
    If this is fixed, I'm seriously considering upgrading mid-project! The film score I'm working on has many doubling parts that I'd like to edit at the same time in the matrix editor. However, editing multiple parts in the matrix editor seems provoke the little bugger, and I've already been bitten a few times in this project already. The only solution I've found is to stay clear of editing multiple parts at once (i.e. edit each parts individually, which obviously takes more time) or save before editing and hope I dont get bit.
    I would LOVE to hear a report that this bug has been exterminated, and perhaps may upgrade mid project if thats the case.
    Thanks in advance for your reply!

    Heya,
    I'm not familiar with the bug you're talking about. But would, as a fellow film composer, strongly urge you against the mid project switch.
    I loaded in LP8 and ofcourse had a look at what it was all about, and it's really really fantastic. It also seems very stable. I fortunately have a side project that I am working on so switched to LP8 for that. Whilst I'm thankful to get my head around a very new approach for logic, I'm also thankful that I have this side project as it has illuminated a multitude of problems that exist with LP8 that would make any scoring process a bit of a headache to say the least. The main one being that if you don't have a very very powerful mac (I'm prepping a really fully loaded 8 core) you are not going to get anywhere near the performance out of Logic as you do with 7. This is a bottom up overhaul and it needs hardware to match. Heck even my 30" cinema display seems cramped and insubstantial on this new version. I would be so bold to say hold off until you have a hearty new mac and at least 8.2 is released IMHO but maybe try and get on it onto a smaller project to familiarize yourself before hand.

  • Oracle 8.1.5 Memory bug!?!

    Hi !
    I have a serious problem concerning the use of Oracle as db for upcoming projects.
    Current situation:
    - Platform: Windows NT 4.0 server
    - DB: Oracle 8.1.5
    - JDBC: 1.1 which comes with the Oracle 8.1.5
    Problem:
    - I have developed an ServletBased web-app. which has the capability to upload images (blob) and text into the db and then to stream out the images and write the text from there into a Servlet generated webpage.
    After running the app. for about 10 minutes the virtual memory usage suddenly starts rising about 2-10 megs./second.
    I have optimized my code and closed every resultset, statement, connection, input&outputstream, etc.
    I would say that the application is fairly optimized by now but this crash still happens.
    Could someone please confirm that this is actually a known problem with the Oracle db?
    I have seen many messages concerning the same problem but so far have seen no good explanations.
    If there is no hope for a solution I have to change the db for something else, which is no way a desirable action.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 attempted to free unallocated memory bug

    Dreamweaver CS4 Mac version 10.0.0.4117 has a fatal bug.  It is trying to free up unallocated memory.  Most likely, it is trying to free the pointer twice, which ended up attempting to free memory that does not belong to it.  This corrupts the system memory, and bring down Snow Leopard, causing the notorious freeze problem in Snow Leopard.
    See the system log, right after Dreamweaver crashed, it corrupted the system memory, causing Safari to freeze right after that:

  • Logic Snowballing Memory bug

    I am encountering the strangest bug. It seems to occur when I click on a track - that's it. It is happening so often that I just cannot work!
    I click somewhere usually and then Logic freezes, I look at the Real Mem in Activity Monitor and it is growing and growing until Logic crashes at around 20 GB. I have initialized preferences, repaired disk permissions, I'm now running from a clone, but it just occurred in that!
    I cannot think what could be causing this. I would appreciate any help.
    Thx
    Felix

    I  think it might have something to do with the Kontakt Memory settings?
    Absolutely... if you have Kontakt's Memory Manager turned on...?
    It needs to be turned off when using it with a 64 Bit Application like Logic Pro X... as OS X and Logic handle all memory..... and that setting is only needed when running Kontakt with either a 32bit DAW or.. when using Kontakt as a Standalone app....
    So, if it's on, turn it off in Kontakt's settings...and restart your Mac and then test.....

  • Does Oracle occi have any memory bugs when writing blobs using streams?

    The function below will produce some kind of memory corruption that will cause an exception (which cannot be identified since memory is corrupted) while doing another call:
    ora::Statement stmt(__cn);
    string sql("BEGIN Pckg.Sp_procA(:1, :2, :3, :4, :5, :6, :7, :8, "
    ":9, :10, :11, :12, ":13, :14, :15, :payload); END;");
    occi::Blob payload(__cn.getConnection());
    occi::Environment* tempEnv = occi::Environment::createEnvironment();
    occi::Timestamp reportTime(tempEnv);
    reportTime.fromText(__report.report_time), "yyyy-mm-ddH24:mi:ss.ff");
    stmt.setSQL(sql);
    stmt.setString     (1, "");
    stmt.setString     (2, "");
    stmt.setString     (3, __report.varA);
    stmt.setString     (4, __report.varB);
    stmt.setInt          (5, __report.varC);
    stmt.setString     (6, __report.varD);
    stmt.setString     (7, __report.varE);
    stmt.setString     (8, __report.varF);
    stmt.setTimestamp(9, reportTime);
    stmt.setNull     (10, occi::OCCITIMESTAMP);
    stmt.setString     (11, __report.varG);
    stmt.setString     (12, __report.varH);
    stmt.setString     (13, __report.varI);
    stmt.setString     (14, __report.varK);
    stmt.setString     (15, __report.varX);
    stmt.setBinaryStreamMode(16, __report.payload.Size(), true);
    stmt.executeUpdate();
    occi::Stream* streamedData = stmt.getStream(16);
    streamedData->writeLastBuffer(__report.payload.GetPtr(), __report.payload.Size());
    stmt.closeStream(streamedData);
    occi::Environment::terminateEnvironment(tempEnv);
    return true;
    The function below works perfectly unless the code above is executed and looks like this:
    ora::Statement stmt(__cn);
    string sql("BEGIN "
    "Pckg.Sp_procB(:1, :2, :3, :4, :5, :6, :7, :8, :9, :10, :11); END;");
    occi::Environment* tempEnv = occi::Environment::createEnvironment();
    occi::Timestamp reportTime(tempEnv);
    reportTime.fromText(__report.report_time, "yyyy-mm-dd HH24:mi:ss.ff");
    stmt.setSQL(sql);
    stmt.setString     (1, "");
    stmt.setString     (2, "");
    stmt.setString     (3, __report.varA);
    stmt.setString     (4, __report.varB);
    stmt.setInt          (5, __report.varB);
    stmt.setString     (6, __report.varD);
    stmt.setString     (7, __report.varE);
    stmt.setString     (8, __report.varF);
    stmt.setString     (9, __report.varG);
    stmt.setTimestamp(10, reportTime);
    stmt.setNull     (11, occi::OCCITIMESTAMP);
    stmt.executeUpdate();
    occi::Environment::terminateEnvironment(tempEnv);
    return true;
    I got the blob insert example from Oracle's documentation and can't see anything wrong with it. The second function also seems to be ok which got me thinking that Oracle's occi might have some kind of bug that corrupts memory. Anyone knows anything about this or has done anything similar?

    Does anyone insert blobs this way? Or just using the "insert -> select for update" way?

  • LV2012 Out of Memory Bug when Clearing Compiled Object Cache

    Here is some LV2012 weird behaviour when clearing the compiled cache and having a project with source code separated from the binaries.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open a VI in a fairly large LV project
    2. With the VI open, clear the compiled cache:
    3. Close the VI.
    4. Open the VI
    5. Watch the broken arrow and the LV Out of Memory bogus.

    Roger,
    i tracked down the issue to "ExecutionBenchmark1.lvclass:Load Core.vi" and "ExecutionBenchmark2.lvclass:Load Core.vi". If removing both VIs from the main, it is compilable.
    Since those VIs have their blockdiagram removed, they have to include their compilation in order to be executable. I expect this to be the source of the issue.
    Can you please check if using the default VI "Load Core" for both classes work as long as LV is able to recompile those while creating the object file for the main?
    thanks,
    Norbert
    Yep, still reproducible on my 32 bit Windows 7 home machine. Attached is the fixed code.
    Also, my suspicion was right. If you try to save a project in a out of memory condition, the saved project will always display an out of memory error due to a missing block diagram.

  • Memory Bug ?

    hi, i have asha 300,  and i have this problem, when i try to copy soemthing on my SD card it says "no free space"
    but theres like more than 3/4 of free space, you can see that here http://prntscr.com/2aogx1, this is the message i get http://prntscr.com/2aoils
    i can't save files on memory card using any program, or recieving files from another mobile via bluetooth
    any solutions ?

    1.
    Backup all files on your memory card to PC and format it on your PC and insert it back in your phone and try again.
    2.
    Try with another memory card on your phone.
    3.
    Try to connect your phone in mass storage mode using a USB cable and try to copy some files and see.
    4.
    Also try to connect your memory card using a card reader and copy some files, if it doesn't copy properlly on you PC, the card might be damaged and you may need to buy a new one.
    Hope this helps.

  • N800 - OS2008 Mail Memory Bug?

    I just ran across this.  My N800 ran out of Memory . . . I had to reflash it to clean up what ever was causing the problem.
    I suspect the problem lies with Email (I've seen some discussion on Internet Tablet Talk).  I haven't added programs since the restore of the last faulty OTA update.  I've few data files & they are small.  Indeed, after this restore I've 79.5 MB available - and monitoring.
    What I noticed in Email that made me suspicious . . . I created some folders to keep Emails I was interested in.  I would move the Email of interest from the right pane to the appropiate folder in the left pane.  However, the Email still showed in the right pane - and, there was a copy in the folder as well.  I deleted the Email in the right pane (the in box) using the trash icon.  Everything seemed okay.  My guess (& it is purely that) is that the Email title/subject was deleted, but, the contents still remained behind . . consuming space . . . & more space, & more space as more as Emails were received & supposedly deleted.
    When my N800 started misbehaving & giving Low memory messages I deleted all my Emails, but, the problem persisted so that in the end I had to reflash.
    I'm posting this to see if others have seen this . . . & as I noted earlier, am monitoring memory.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Here is what I've learned from Internet Table Talk/Maemo.org - Talk
    Yes, there are files left behind even when you delete messages in mail.  These files are in
     home/user/.modest/cache/mail/your mail account name/cache
    After deleting all your mail there are two ways to delete these hidden? files.
    * Use ls -al and cd to navigate to directory. Pwd will give present working directory; exit to quit and rm to delete. (Not recommended)
    * Use gpe file manager.  (Recommended). It defaults to /home/user/ . . . then you must type in .modest (note the dot) & from there you can use the selection process to navigate to the cache directory.  Highlight the folders therein & using pull down menu (top left) select delete.
    Note: you, obviously, need a bit of working knowledge to do this, but, it can be done.
    Hope this helps.

  • Memory problems (/questions/967643)

    Some basics
    Firefox 30
    Windows XP SP3
    Technical level
    I am a software developer but have no experience building or debugging firefox or any of the other mozilla products. I am willing to provide debug information as needed. I also have a background in QA and testing so I am not afraid to roll up my sleeves and help iron out some of these issues if given some guidance on how to proceed.
    Troubleshooting Information:
    I have the Troubleshooter installed but don't see the data.
    I also can't see the educated guesses about the current browser and operating system when I click the "See the data" and "Show details" links. I generally browse always in private mode. I have attached a list of addons at the bottom just in case.
    Firefox seems to leak both memory and virtual memory during routine web surfing. By Routine, I am doing the following:
    1. Opening Gmail and reading all my mail. After I am done, I close the tab. I probably go through 100-200 emails at a time.
    2. Go to Google News and read some stories. I will share some of them using the Buffer This Page addon. I will close the tab when I am done.
    3. Go to Slashdot and read all the days stories. I will close the tab when I am done.
    4. Maybe go to facebook or twitter and catch up on some updates. I will close the tab when I am done.
    After that, depending on how long I leave firefox open with no activity, it will just continue to use the same amount of physical and virtual memory as it was using at peak. It is almost like it keeps requesting resources and never frees them until I completely close firefox and sometimes kill the firefox.exe process in Windows Task Manager.
    As a point of reference, after doing the above tasks and trying to research this issue by checking about:addons-memory (which currently shows about 100 MB of known memory usage) as well as researching this support site, I am up to almost 600 MB. Some days, it will exhaust all my systems physical and virtual memory until it starts paging. As a result, I keep firefox closed as soon as I am done using it. I use other apps to check email and only use firefox for very short periods of time.
    The following are the current addons I see installed and enabled:
    about:addons-memory 8
    ActiveInbox for Gmail and Google Apps 5.0.12
    Adblock Plus 2.6.3

  • Memory issues in java3d1.2(openGL ver) and 1.2.1-03 sdk(openGL ver)

    hi ,
    i am working in java 3d and handling memory issues .I have made following observations.
    In java3d 1.2 version,when we close a primitive ,(transform group,point3d,transform 3d release) about 80% of memory used by the primitive when it was opened.but point4d releases only 2% of memory.
    on a contrary when i use java3d1.2-03 sdk point4d releases about 75% of memory and others(transform3d,transform group,point3d ) releases about 40% of memory allocated to them.
    can somebody tell me if there is some kind of difference in these two versions related to memory?or is there any memory bug in the later version?
    thanks
    sangeeta

    hi,
    We r using memory management tools like Jprobe and optimizer IT to count the rate of memory released.
    Thanks

  • How to find out how many memory is used for NIO

    is there any way to find out how many memory is used for nio in a virtual machine. ?
    I know that is possible to find out how many total, free and used memory the heap has by using java.lang.Runtime#totalMemory...
    We sometimes expect errors that it is not possible to create any more connections because of the NIO memory size but the heap is still ok. Today we had an error where 170mbytes of heap where left but it was not possible to create new tcp connections because of an exception:
    javax.naming.NamingException: java.net.SocketException: No buffer space available (maximum connections reached?): connect
    The number of TCP-Connections was ok (<500).
    It would be very nice if someone knows how to find out how the amount of memory that NIO buffers use can be determined within Java 1.4.
    best regards
    benjamin

    We have to use 1.4.2_03. This is because of the special environment we are running on.
    We did also figured out that there are some NIO Memory Bugs but we since we are not allowed to upgrade the used Virtual Machine we have to live with these errors.
    The problem that we currently have is within a Server and because of this circumstance we are trying to find a workaround or way to find out how many memory is allocated. If we would know how to get this value we could restart the servers as a workaround after the value reaches a threshold.
    We are also very sad that we can`t easily upgrade/update to the latest 1.4.2 Version or the newest 1.5 to get rid of these NIO Bugs!

  • [LPX] Drummer/Drum Kit Designer memory leak causing crash

    After working with LPX for a couple of days after release with almost no problems save for a few system overload errors that always seemed to sort themselves out, I loaded up a project I had been working on to find that it crashed every time I tried to play the track. Other, smaller projects, still played in varying degrees, some having to wait for a long time seemingly for samplers to load up etc.
    I did some testing (painstaking, considering that I was having to force-quit the application for my computer to even run again; as an aside there were never any error reports for whatever reason) and found that it appears to be Drummer/Drum Kit Designer that's causing massive memory usage. Looking at the activity monitor when loading the project revealed that the memory usage would just go up and up until it maxed out my (rather modest) 4GB RAM, at which point there would be no free memory and the computer would slow almost to a standstill. Removing all instances of Drum Kit Designer and Drummer reduces the load to a point where it is once again manageable.
    This seems like a fault in Drummer, I'm thinking possibly a memory leak. Has anyone else been experiencing this problem/anyone have any thoughts as to how it could be fixed?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jasper

    This is not a memory bug. It's simply the nature of the new Drummer.
    Drummer uses a LOT of samples. It's a 13GB download for a reason. You will need more than 4GB to use drummer and not run into issues.
    The nature of the modern Logic engine - which seems unchanged from v9 - makes it very bad at being able to tell when it's running out of memory. Logic will simply freeze or crash most of the time it runs out. The freeze would be down to it using literally every last MB on your RAM without overstepping the boundary, and the crash would be downt to it claiming to need more real RAM than you have spare.
    Producer kits use 5.1 surround samples, and submixes them to stereo in a way that posistions them around the space. Whilst a doddle for a modern machine, you Mac is rather long in the tooth to be trying to do that whilst struggling to handle 1.2GB patches with 4GB of RAM total.

  • Error in Illustrator CS4 on Vista 64:  "Can't finish previewing.  There isn't enough memory. ID = - 108

    Please help:  I have searched for this error and would appreciate any help or feedback.  I am not the Illustrator expert.  I build fast PC's, not design on them.  I would especially like to know where a complete error code list resides.
    Freshly assembled:
    Intel Core i7
    2 x 3GB DDR3
    3 SSD HDD's
    9800GTX+
    I've done all the tips and tricks I can find.  With paging file, and w/o.  Scratch disk and w/o.  Fresh reboot on PC, CS4 fully updated, Vista 64bit business fully updated.  Aero off along with all visual stuff.
    This PC is built to perform but will error out and I can't find the cause.
    To create the error:
    1.  open new 'print document'
    2.  Create text:  I use Blackoak Std 72 pt.  Pick a word to type.  I use 'Hello'.
    3.  Select and choose Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel.  Set Extrude Depth to 500, Bevel: Complex 4, and Height to 40.      
    4.  Object > Expand Appearance
    5.  Object > Path > Offset Path. Run 3 times one of each type (Miter, Round, Bevel).  At this point there should be a lot of paths.
    6.  Window > Pathfinder > Unite
    Total RAM usage never exceeds 3GB on the machine.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hello RippinPC,
    Wade and I we know that it is the Critical Memory Bug of CS4. Nothing wrong with your computer.

    Just to mention a FRACTION of the many posts complaining about the Critical Memory Bug of CS4.
    But do not worry, Adobe will sell you the CS5 (coming this April I think) instead of providing an update.

  • More Yosemite memory issues

    Whoa. What is happening here? I've been monitoring the Activity Monitor this
    last week, and this evening the memory values seem to be going crazy (see screenshot).
    What is backupd and why is it using 51 GB of memory? And why is kernel_task suddenly over 9 GB?
    I can feel my MacBook Pro retina late 2013 13" with 16 GB of RAM slowing down, and the "memory pressure" is way up.
    I hate having to restart because I have so much work open, but I guess I have no choice.
    Any idea what might be happening?
    doug

    Yes, it must have been a memory issue with Time Machine. I see the last backup was some 9 hours ago, so I guess it has been sitting there twiddling its thumbs since then, eating away at memory.
    I restarted. Fortunately it only takes a minute with the SSD drives. All the same apps and windows are open as before, but as you can see in the screenshot, memory is back to normal.
    Plus there is no more input lag. Everything is fast again.
    It must be a memory leak or something in Time Machine I imagine.
    After restarting and forcing Time Machine to "backup now" it finished the backup successfully very quickly. And while backing up it was way down in the list, using only 25 MB of memory.
    I think in this case there is no doubt it's another Yosemite memory bug of some kind.
