Can RAM cause slow startup, loss of chime, and forgetting logged account?

Recently the iMac (Mid 2011 10.7.5) at work got the RAM upgraded with 2 4GB DDR3 1333 MHz.
Things I've noticed:
startup is much slower, with no chime
sometimes requires me to relog into my account when I didn't log out the day before
Apple Hardware Test, long and short says everything is fine
Disk Utility also says everything is fine other than some permissions changed
Ram has increased the ability to use more applications at a time
Spotlight sometimes doesn't work
Affects browser some times:
Chrome would load a page and then the stuff would disappear a few seconds after
Firefox does not do this
Restarting fixes it
So I'm just wondering if this is just an inconvenience or do I have a serious problem here. Another computer with the same upgrade does not have any start up problems like I do.

Sorry to bother you again, but my computer has shown symptons again. Here is the entire log before I had to restart to "fix" it. Any help is much appreciated.

HT204053 How can I contact you by email. My and my mothers accounts are mixed.

I just purchased my mother an ipad generation 1 for her 91st Birthday on Jan 18. I set hers up giving her own ID and personal information for her own account. But I had to connect to my wifi since we do not have a modem for her. I recently downloaded a Bingo Bash application and it came up in my name with my payment information? How could this happen? And tonight when I tried to use my ipad 3rd generation, the I D information is mixed up. How do I get my personal information off her account and her information off mine? I gave her her own email and ID-. This should not have happened? I am totally un-savvy with electronics so please explain this simply in laymens terms so I can try to correct this problem and make sure our accounts are separate and not merged together. She wants to learn to do her banking online and I would hate to think what could happen with her very confidential information. If you prefer calling me to help unravel this situation, you may reach me (Sandra Moon) . My mother is Louise Hargis but she cannot hear well over the telephone and I will have help her anyway since she does not have her ipad and has no idea how to use it. I am her spokesperson and can help get my account and mothers corrected so they will not be confused in the future.
I appreciate your allowing me to bring my concerns and I look forward to your assistance. I will not be at home tomorrow, Friday, Jan 11 th, as I have a doctors appointment that will take a couple hours. I should be back by 5:30 and the entire weekend. I have a cell phone but it does not accept text messaging. So you may reach me my email or my home phone.
Regards,
Sandra K Moon

You are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user forum and Apple does not read or respond to these posts. I've asked the forum hosts to edit out your personal information for your own security.
As far as your question, if you are saying that you are getting each other's merged data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) on your devices then you must have set up both devices with the same iCloud account and ID (in Settings>iCloud). When you do this, any data you sync with your shared iCloud account is merged, and the merged data appears on all devices sharing the account.
To fix this, one of you needs to migrate your data to a new, separate account, then your have to manually delete the other person's data from each of your accounts. To do this, first decide which device will be changing accounts. On that device, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from the iPad, not from iCloud. The iPad that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPad. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data in the two accounts you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately, then manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
As far as the app you downloaded, when you purchased the app it will display what ever Apple ID you have in Settings>iTunes & App Stores on your device. (This is in Settings>Store in iOS 5.) If you are sharing the same ID there and wish to change this, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores (or Settings>Store in iOS 5), tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.
If you want to contact Apple support for help with all this you can do so by going here: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ and set up a call with them. If your device was purchased new less than 90 days again this will be free. If over that their will be a charge (unless you purchase AppleCare+).

Processor or RAM causing slowness?

Calling all speed demons...
OK.. so I just got a new Quad Core single 3.2 GHz processor Mac Pro with 6 GB RAM to replace my aging 2006 2 x 3GHz 8 Core Mac Pro and was told at the Apple Store not to be fooled by the one processor and 6 GB RAM versus my 2 processor 8 core machine as the new components are much faster than in my old MP, plus my old buss speed was only 1.33.
My experience in the first week has been this machine rocks. But I've been doing easy stuff, like Word and Excel files and email.
But tonight I'm working on a large sound file of a friend's band that is a MP3 of 10 songs, which I am using Audacity app to copy/paste and create 10 separate MP3 song files and noticing extreme sluggishness. Luckily I don't do this for a living and I don't do any video or serious Photoshop rendering either.
When I select a section of the large MP3 file that equals one song, it takes up to 30-45 seconds for the MP to calculate or whatever it's doing, and then I copy and paste into a new file and save the single song as a new MP3.
I'm wondering if the sluggishness is due to only having one 3.2 GHz processor, or only having 6 GB RAM.
Of course I'm hoping the issue is RAM as I can control that and buy more, versus having to trade up to a 12 core MP which is expensive and way more computer than I really need on a day to day basis.
I don't know if it's possible for readers here to comment on this, but if you can... I'd love to hear any theories and solutions.
Thanks,
Steven

It's a bit complicated, but you may want to read some of this material:
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

Upgrading to 10.9.4 causes slower startup time & system gets hot and causes fan to run during startup for no reason! Never did this before.

Macbook pro 7,1, osx 10.9.4.. just upgraded from 10.9.3. 10.9.2 was installed fresh in January.
Before that I had snow leopard. Never before has the fan turned on during startup in the 3.5 years I've owned this machine. That means the laptop gets hot? Why would it get hot at startup? And it takes 5-10 seconds longer to boot now too.

Same problem here. I just upgraded from 10.9.3 to 10.9.4 and the fan hasn't stopped since. Before seeing this post I was starting to get VERY worried. Now I'm thinkin..... Apple - ya gotta fix something here!!

Im trying to get my head round the problem im having, completly random at all times of day and night crcs will start building up in theres 100,s sometimes 1000,s every 5 second which is stopping my throughput completly, but my snr will stay at 6db, if i force adsl2 instead of adsl2+ the errors sometimes go away and stay away, but untill recently crcs have started also on adsl2, i have to force an even lower sync to stop them, i end up with about 7meg sync rate just to get some throughput, what i cant understand is the random part of it, sometimes ai can sync at 13meg and get no crcs at all, if it was rein then why doesnt the snr fluctuate with it?, line attenuation with bts equipment is 24db, my router says its 27db though(router as been changed), so distance isnt that bad, most of you know ive had problems which have not been resolved from day one on this thread, bt have tried loads of things, swapping dside and e side(i think thats th right letters), i did however shoot up to 16meg on the first line swap, but they came out again and i think they swapped me back to the original,because, even though the sync was higher, the problem was still there, dont know why they swapped me back or swapped to another, they said that line that synced at 16meg was bad quality(hmm,ive never synced that high after a reset), anyone have any ideas what is happeneing?.

Sorry, i didnt think it was needed, as ive had 2 line swaps now, but i can say that there used to be a kind of phone ring noise but in static untill the line was changed, but my problem never went away anyway, and as of noe there is no noise on silent line test, even when the crcs are building up. Heres my router stats , note the crcs are from the last time it happened and it actually clocked the router and started at 0 again, also if anyone knows if ipv6 works on bt? if so how to configure?,as i said this is a new router and reports my snr as 29db, other router is 27db.

The IOS 8 update on my Ipad has repeatedly frozen my iPad and caused me endless loss of work and grief.

Should I just finally throw in the towel and stop spending more money on Apple Products for defectiveness? I have had to replace iPods because Apple wants to charge me the same price for a replacement battery as the price of the ipod, the battery only lasts one year. Yet, I have bought hundreds of itune songs. They don't care, they want to charge me for outrageous battery replacement prices. The adapter cords start wearing out on my iPad within weeks of useage, thus requiring me to buy more replacements for them. Now, the IOS 8 update has caused my Ipad 2 to freeze over and over, causing me to lose stuff I was working on. Why are Apple products so bad when it comes to quality and they treat us like open wallets when it comes to the way they treat us when it is the company's fault. Microsoft has never treated me like this when it comes to their product defects and replacements.

IOS 8.1.1 Even Worse Than IOS 8.1 For IPad - There is simply no end to the catastrophe that Apple has created for my IPad 2 and for thousands of other folks as well with the IOS 7, and now IOS 8.1 and today, IOS 8.1.1. Now, my photo album is completely frozen and Safari freezes constantly and as done nearly every other app. Firstly, there should not be these kind of breakdowns in a $500 device that is not even two years old, much less ALL of the problems are being created by the defective system updates being released by the manufacturer of the product, Apple. Apple should be forced to buy new devices for all of us who now have unusable devices due to product defects being created by Apple. It is highly, highly unlikely that I will ever buy another expensibe Apple product and their refusal to fix the mess they have caused me borders on violations of Fair Trade Laws. What a shame Apple has done this to me and other long term Apple customers. A real shame! I am warning every friend I can not to buy any new Apple products. And I have a lot of friends, 600,000 of them on my various blogs and email accounts.

HP G62 Battery causes slow boot - take battery out and boots normally - HP G62-340US Notebook

All,
Very strange thing going on, and I've not seen it on these forums, so here I go.
Turn on laptop, the HP screen appears, and about 20 minutes later, Windows starts loading.
Turn off laptop, pull the battery, turn on the laptop, and Windows starts loading within 10 seconds (normal).
When the battery is in, EVERYTHING takes 15-20 minutes to start. If I select F2 for settings, it takes that long. If I hit F10 (or possibly F8), same delay. If I take the battery out, it works perfectly.
So....I of course assume bad battery......but I've never seen this type of behavoir in ANY computer previously.
Any suggestions?
HP G62-340US Notebook
Windows 7 Home Premium
No error message and no changes made to system.
Thanks
Donlen

Where can I find detailed instructions on transferring message and call logs ?

I failed to find good info on this using search etc. I switched from Droid X to Galaxy Note 3 recently. On Verizon Cloud, it tells I have the logs uploaded but my Galaxy Note 3 does not display them and I am unable to download the logs into my new phone from Verizon Cloud. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you Tominque. Here is the update: I misunderstood the restore phone option as going to factory settings after I had used my phone for a few days and feared to touch it. However, later I saved some of the stuff on my phone and took a chance after talking to one of your helpful reps and it worked. I got my messages and call logs into my phone, happy ending. It would be nice if there is a little more explanation on the Verizon Cloud.

How to configure automatical startup of both ASM and Database

I created a ASM and a database that uses this ASM for file storage management. I also edit the /etc/oratab file as followings:
+ASM:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/asm:Y
orcl:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:Y
However, when I reboot the system, both ASM and database instances cannot be started up automatically.
How can I configure automatical startup of both ASM and Database at system reboot?
Thanks in advance!

try the following
Create file called startdb.sh in $ORACLE_HOME/bin and put following line into startdb.sh and
change the permission of the file with following command.
$vi $ORACLE_HOME/bin/startdb.sh
su - oracle -c 'sh /oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/dbstart'
Please replace /oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/ with your ORACLE_HOME
$chmod 777 $ORACLE_HOME/bin/startdb.sh
Open /etc/inittab file and append following two lines in /etc/inittab.
h2:35:once:/etc/init.d/init.cssd start >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null
h3:35:wait:/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/startdb.sh >/tmp/stdb.out 2>&1
If you have h2,h3 in the inittab file please feel free to change it to h4,h5 or whatever is unique, but it has to be unique name
Please replace /oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/ with your ORACLE_HOME.
Reboot machine and check out whether both instances are getting started or not.Please check $ORACLE_HOME/startup.log for more information.

Getting messages "startup disk is full" and activity monitor is showing "syslog d" is using a lot of CPU. I'm planning on getting more memory for my late 2008 model Macbook but wondering if there's something that is causing problems that I can also fix.

I had closed out of all of my programs but heard the internal fans running so I checked the activity monitor. It shows syslog d as the top process using the CPU right now. I have no idea what that means.
I read a thread about the startup disk being full and how you can free up memory. I have an airport extreme so TimeCapsule is backing up everything. I do have a bunch of pictures on iPhoto on the laptop; could move those to another location but I'm a little gunshy. I know they are on the TimeCapsule but I would like to save them to a second place before deleting from laptop just to be sure. I went through several things yesterday and emptied trash, etc. I wasn't able to locate the hidden files that the thread about the startup disk being full was referencing --- they were talking about large emails that were causing processes to happen taking up the CPU.... I wasn't able to find out if that was the case for me.
Also I'm going to look into getting another 2MB of memory and installing it on the Macbook, so I can upgrade to the latest OS. Anyone have an idea if that is worth the $$$ over buying a new laptop? Or anyone have ideas as to where to buy memory, etc.
Any ideas - help!

Go step by step and test.

I have a slow startup or login, with numerious spinning wheels. Sometimes after a long ti,e I can sign into the computer and sometimes it just fails to startup or login. I have a MacBookPro OS X 10.7.5 from 2011. It became more serious recently as I think I might have let my battery run out I also tried to download the operating system to reinstall it but it allways stops around 1.4 GB out of 1.7 then the whell starts again.

Keep the MBP attached to the power adapter.
First try SMC and PRAM resets:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Then try to boot the MBP in recovery (OPTION key down) and select the recover partition. Select Disk Utility>First Aid and verify and repair the HDD.

Can I tunes Slowness by cause by many playlists?

I have an older MacMini running iTunes for iPod syncing, mainly. On most accounts on the system, iTunes is fast enough (it is a first generation mini, so it's no speed demon), but on My account iTunes beachballs even on scrolling my music. I have a fair amount of music (about 40 GB) and a larger number of playlists, divided into folders. (a couple hundred).
Could the number of playlists be causing slowness? It seems to be worse while I'm adding playlists and when iTunes has just started.
Thanks for any help.

It's more a matter of the general industry standard with file ID3 tagging, not iTunes as such. Unless they introduce a standard where a file can carry multiple sets of tags then a file can only be identified with one album at a time. I guess Apple could introduce its own standard to allow for multiple tags but then everybody who does not use iTunes would complain loudly that tags no longer behaved with their players. Since it is a relatively small thing I doubt anybody feels a great urgency to implement such a change.
Another thing to note is not all duplicates are really duplicates. The extreme case is where a track has the same name but is unplugged on one album and electric on the other. Even if it is the same recording session a track may have a different mix on different albums. Mind you, it still sounds essentially the same so I can understand not wanting to listen to 3 copies of those.
A trick I have done in the past where I wanted to make note of a track but not have it play was to generate 0.5s of silence using an audio editor, then encode it to mp3. The small file can carry full track information but of course won't play anything but 0.5 seconds of silence and essentially "skip" the track. I mostly did this where I obtained a few tracks on an album (our library lets us download 3 mp3 tracks per week for free to keep) but wanted to full listing for the album.

Slow startup Lion 10.7.3

I've read many threads, here and on other sites, that deal with slow startups. Most of the "answers" seem to be regarding login items, restored windows/apps, etc. But nothing that matches my sequence of startup issues. (If I've missed an answer somewhere, please forgive me...it's difficult to read everything on the internet)
When I power on, the chime sounds within a couple of seconds (normal). But then I get a blank white screen that can last anywhere from 45 seconds to 2 minutes. Eventually, I get the Apple logo and spinny gizmo. Once those appear, startup takes about 10 seconds. I restore no windows or apps and have no login items. Does anyone have some idea for what causes the long delay before the logo appears?
My Mac is a Mid 2011, 21-inch iMac (bought new 12/2011), 2.8 GHz i7 running 10.7.3, 12 GB mem; 256 SSD main drive has 133 G free, second drive is a 1 T with 872 G free.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi ds
I tried most of the items in the list you referred me to. Nothing found any problems (except the SMART utility errors mentioned earlier).
Main items:
- booted from install drive and did all repairs and permission fixes (no problems)
- reset PRAM
- the "D" key Apple diagostics (no problems found)
The only thing I did not do was reinstall the OS. It seems to me the delay happens before Lion is loaded. Once loaded, it runs fantastic. It's just that pesky pause before the actual OS loads. I really hope it's not a (partially?) bad SSD.
Thanks for helping.
Michael

Unbelievable slow startup with OS 10.7 Lion

The Problem
Out of curiosity I decided to time the amazing slow startup of Lion after several weeks of use. It took a full minute from the chime sound until the welcome screen showed with the list of users. Then, from the time I pressed the return key with my user password until the first app (iChat) was able to open any operational window, it took another full minute and 34 seconds. If we include the 17 seconds that Lion took to let me click on my user and enter my password (because it doesn't matter how quick you do it, Lion is not going to take it anytime soon), we are talking about nearly three minutes from beginning to the end.
Clarification # 1
I'm not loaded with all those login items that tend to slow down the startup to load on the menu bar. Nothing out of the normal (Dropbox, Evernote, unDock), the ones most seasoned Apple users use. I have used Macs since 1989 and consider myself an Intermediate knowledge user, so don't tell me some of the things that I already know after 22 years. I know this is not normal and wonder if everybody else using Lion has conformed to such slowness.
Clarification # 2
Another necesary clarification: I DO NOT check the option to "Reopen windows when logging back in". Depending on the number of open apps or windows you have when shutting down or logging out, that can easily double or triple the startup waiting time! What an annoying feature! What was Apple thinking when checking that box by default? Are they assuming that most of us want to wait more than 3 minutes to have our Mac up and running? How many users are cursing Apple's engineers names for doing this everytime they shutdown or startup their Macs?
Clarification # 3
My hard drive is pretty much in order. I use Drive Genius to keep my blocks in order with 150Gb (out of 500Gb) available and mostly in one single block to be available for virtual memory and temporary files. So, hard drive slowness is not the problem. As you can see, I've done my homework, including repairing permissions, etc.
Final reflexion
If Windows 8 is promising to have a 10-second startup (and beta tryouts confirm that it does so), maybe Apple should consider reviewing making me loose roughly over 15 hours every year waiting for my Mac to startup...

I have the new MacBook Pro with Lion pre-installed. I did a fresh install of CS4 and didn't have any problems with installation. I do fairly basic editing in Photoshop so I tested the following:
- Opening .jpg and .NEF (raw) files
- Opening several photos at once
- Editing a photo in the .NEF interface
- Creating new layers
- Flattening layers
- Adding text
- Rotating the image
- Cropping
- Changing saturation
- Applying unsharp mask
- Clone Stamp tool
- Applying the Liquify filter
- Selecting a color
- Using the eye dropper tool
- Paintbrush tool
- Burn tool
- Adjusting levels, curves, brightness, contrast
- Changing the image size
- Copying and pasting from one image to another
- Creating an Action
- Opening Adobe Bridge and performing a Batch operation using the Action I created
- Saving as .psd and .jpg
- Opening the files on another machine to see if the files seemed ok
I admit that this is not a thorough testing of the software, but I was able to accomplish these basic tasks on several photos I used. The only problem I experienced was when I tried dragging my Background layer onto the New Layer button. This caused the program to freeeze. When I pressed the New Layer button, it was fine. Considering this is about the only functions I ever use in Photoshop, I don't see a reason not to stick with this version. Obviously, I don't know if you would have problems doing more complicated things.

Can RAM cause slow startup, loss of chime, and forgetting logged account?
