Beachball hanging.. is it because I have too much memory

I've just recently upgraded my computer from 4 gig to 6 gig however they say 4 gig is only recommended but… it would take six gig. I've just noticed that the beach ball is hanging in iMovie, it's never done this before, I'm wondering if this is this because I have to much memory now  or is it due to another aspect of the upgrade that came this week from Apple… answers would be appreciated thank you in advance

I did look at my hard drive before I posted the question however I have 200 of the 350 available on my hard drive, however it's still hangs slightly between transitions.... Any more suggestions please, and thank you for your reply that's so nice of you.
PS maybe I should turn my computer off now and restart the whole system.
Kind regards

    My iPad is tellin me I can not use the camera connector because it uses too much power..... ***

    I'm having same problems.   If I connect my blackberry it says it uses too much power.  If I take sd card out of phone and connect that way I get the same message.    The leaflet with the connector says go to Apple.com/support/iPad to find list of compatible cameras..........  I'm still trawling the site to find any such list!    Just need to know if it will work with a blackberry .....  If not I've got to take it back.    Have been advised by a friend to cut my losses get my money back and use Bump to transfer my pics.    I don't own a traditional camera because my phone has a great one.  Really don't want to have to carry a camera about with me!   They don't make it easy do they!   

  • I cannot watch Flash vids because Firefox uses too much CPU.

    Firefox has become untenable because it uses too much CPU and disrupts Flash videos.
    I've tried disabling or changing the values of plugins. Installing older versions. Nothing helps. It just sucks. It makes me want to pull someone's lungs out.

    Everyone has this problem, since Firefox rigged one of its Plug-ins (something to do with crash reports) about 06 months ago, to max out CPU, thereby sabotaging computer performance (including Flash videos).
    Why or how they haven't fixed it before now strains belief. I have seen the same complaint everywhere. It is a major fuck-up. People want to abandon Firefox in droves, except that none of the other browsers have decent add-ons like pop-up blocker.
    Sort it out, Firefox.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
    If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

  • How to sync when you have too much music

    I have too much music on my computer to sync onto my IPAD.  How do I make lists only and where do I change the settings?

    You can create playlists on your computer's iTunes via File > New Playlist or File > New Smart Playlist . Smart playlists can be updated automatically by iTunes e.g. you can create smart playlists that contain a particular music genre and they will be updated automatically if you add music of that genre to iTunes, or you might have a smart playlist of 5* rated tracks etc
    When you the sync music to the iPad, then on the device's Music tab you can select which playlist(s) to sync to the iPad
