File Cache taking too much RAM

I have been using Memory Clean to run when our family users log in and out to refresh RAM. Lately, I have noticed that our 8GB of RAM has been going down to between 10MB & 25MB often even with one user logged in and fairly inactive. File Cache is the culprit increasing shortly after login. Someone must have changed a memory allocation setting or something, but I cannot find a solution in Preferences.
Any ideas?

It's normal in Mavericks for all or almost all memory to be used by applications and the operating system. That's what you would want, since unused memory is going to waste. The relevant measure of whether memory is in short supply is "memory pressure." Apple's explanation of memory pressure is here. If you want a more detailed, technical description, see here.

  • My iTunes is taking too much ram on my computer, what can I do reduce the size without having to delete items?

    Hi,
    Since I have stared uploading movies onto my iTunes I have run out of space on my iBook. What can I do to fix this without having to delete movies? Is it possible to move my iTunes to somewhere else like a time capsule or external storage?

    Yes. I moved iTunes to an external hard drive. Admittedly, I'm not tech-savvy, so I went to the Apple store and had them help me with it, but it's quite doable, and much smarter than putting an enormous music library on your computer.

  • Finder taking too much RAM

    My finder seems to be running with 1 G of virtual RAM on a fresh install of Leopard.
    I have installed it on a 40 G external firewire drive.

  • Taking too much time using BufferedWriter to write to a file

    Hi,
    I'm using the method extractItems() which is given below to write data to a file. This method is taking too much time to execute when the number of records in the enumeration is 10000 and above. To be precise it takes around 70 minutes. The writing pauses intermittently for 20 seconds after writing a few lines and sometimes for much more. Has somebody faced this problem before and if so what could be the problem. This is a very high priority work and it would be really helpful if someone could give me some info on this.
    Thanks in advance.
    public String extractItems() throws InternalServerException{
    try{
                   String extractFileName = getExtractFileName();
                   FileWriter fileWriter = new FileWriter(extractFileName);
                   BufferedWriter bufferWrt = new BufferedWriter(fileWriter);
                   CXBusinessClassIfc editClass = new ExploreClassImpl(className, mdlMgr );
    System.out.println("Before -1");
                   CXPropertyInfoIfc[] propInfo = editClass.getClassPropertyInfo(configName);
    System.out.println("After -1");

    Hi fiontan,
    Thanks a lot for the response!!!
    Yeah!! I kow it's a lotta code, but i thought it'd be more informative if the whole function was quoted.
    I'm in fact using the PrintWriter to wrap the BufferedWriter but am not using the print() method.
    Does it save any time by using the print() method??
    The place where the delay is occurring is the wile loop shown below:
                while(allitems.hasMoreElements()){
                String aRow = "";
                    XDItem item = (XDItem)allitems.nextElement();
                    for(int i =0 ; i < props.length; i++){
                         String value = item.getStringValue(props);
         if(value == null || value.equalsIgnoreCase("null"))
              value = "";
                             if(i == 0)
                                  aRow = value;
                             else
                                  aRow += ("\t" + value);
    startTime1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
    System.out.println("time here is--before-writing to buffer --out.flush() done: " +startTime1);
    bufferWrt.write(aRow.toCharArray());
    out.flush();//added by rosmon to check extra time taken for extraction//
    bufferWrt.flush();//added by rosmon to check extra time taken for extraction//
    bufferWrt.newLine();
    startTime2 = System.currentTimeMillis();
    System.out.println("time here is--after-writing to buffer : " +startTime2);
    What exactly happens is that after a few loops it just seems to sleep for around 20 seconds and then again starts off and ............it goes on till the records are done.
    Please do lemme know if you have any idea as to why this is happening !!!!! This bug is giving me the scare.
    thanks in advance

    Simple thing to try would be to disable composite and see how you fare then
    Check the logs first, though

  • Why it is taking too much time to kill the process?

    Hi All,
    Today,one of my user ran the calc script and the process is taking too much time, then i kill the process. I am wondering about one thing here even it is taking too long to kill the process, generally it will not take more than 2 sec. I did this through EAS.
    After that I ran Maxl statement
    alter system kill request 552599515;
    there is no use at all.
    Please reply if you have any solutions to kill this process.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ram.

    Hi Ram,
    1. Firstly, How much time does your calculation scripts normally run.
    2. While it was running, you can go to the logs and monitor where exactly the script is taking time .
    3. Sometimes, it does take time to cancel a transaction ( as it might be in between).
    4. Maxl is always good to kill ,as you did . It should be succesful . Check the logs what it says ,and also the "sessions" which might say "terminating" and finish it off.
    5. If nothing works ,and in the worst case scenarion , if its taking time without doing anything. Then log off all the users and stop the databas and start it .
    6. Do log off all the users, so that you dont corrupt any filter related sec file.
    Be very careful , if its production ( and I assume you have latest backups)

  • Karnel task taking too much Real Memory & Battery not lasting long.

    Hello,
    I've noticed under my Activity Monitor that Karnel_Task is taking too much "real memory".
    Also, I just bought a new battery because the original that came with my computer was dying too fast.

  • ICal Consuming Too Much RAM

    Hi All,
    I have iCal 2.0.3 on two computers. It is working fine on my Dual G4. On my iBook however is has become an 800 lb. Gorilla. I noticed everything was slowing down, slow to open, slow to close, a lot "disk activity" during usage so I check the Activity Monitor. It was using over 340 MB of RAM and climbing. I've tried a bit of everything. Tossed all of the caches, all of the Pref files, tossed the application itself, restarterd so the "Helper App" would not be active, then copied a new copy from the G4.
    The problem continues. It is using WAY TOO much RAM. I'm reinstall it, but I could only find the 1.5.5 version at Apple.
    If anyone has an insight to the issue, or can point me to a fresh installer...I'd really like that.
    I was going to install 1.5.5 and have Software Update do an upgrade, but no dice. Installer will not work with Tiger.
    Using 10.4.7
    iCal 2.0.3
    John

    500 Mhz G3 as per my profile. Seems to me the installer would not have installed iCal if there were some hardware incompatibilty.
    I've trashed every, Pref, Cache, and the folder for iCal for App Support thinking it would create a new one and it did. I quess I can use the one on my G4 and have it send notifications via email. No trouble on that model.
    I don't know when I recall it happening. Could have been from Tiger all along. After hearing all the disk activity the other day I checked the Activity monitor and saw the huge amount of RAM and CPU time.
    This has been a bugger of an app. I did some beta testing for Apple on this application when it was 1.5.2. Complained bitterely about the initial inability to have a floating event window and they asked me to help test it.
    This is about the strangest problem I've seen in more than ten years of using a Mac.

  • Taking too much time to load application

    Hi,
    I have deployed a j2ee application on oracle 10g version 10.1.2.0.2. But the application is taking too much time to load. After loading ,everything works fast.
    I have another 10g server (same version) in which the same application is loading very fast.
    When I checked the apache error logs found this :-

    Hi this is what the solution given by your link
    A.1.6 Connection Timeouts Through a Stateful Firewall Affect System Performance
    Problem
    To improve performance the mod_oc4j component in each Oracle HTTP Server process maintains open TCP connections to the AJP port within each OC4J instance it sends requests to.
    In situations where a firewall exists between OHS and OC4J, packages sent via AJP are rejected if the connections can be idle for periods in excess of the inactivity timeout of stateful firewalls.
    However, the AJP socket is not closed; as long as the socket remains open, the worker thread is tied to it and is never returned to the thread pool. OC4J will continue to create more threads, and will eventually exhaust system resources.
    Solution
    The OHS TCP connection must be kept "alive" to avoid firewall timeout issues. This can be accomplished using a combination of OC4J configuration parameters and Apache runtime properties.
    Set the following parameters in the httpd.conf or mod_oc4j.conf configuration files. Note that the value of Oc4jConnTimeout sets the length of inactivity, in seconds, before the session is considered inactive.
    Oc4jUserKeepalive on
    Oc4jConnTimeout 12000 (or a similar value)
    Also set the following AJP property at OC4J startup to enable OC4J to close AJP sockets in the event that a connection between OHS and OC4J is dropped due to a firewall timeout:
    ajp.keepalive=true
    For example:
    java -Dajp.keepalive=true -jar oc4j.jar
    Please tell me where or which file i should put the option
    java -Dajp.keepalive=true -jar oc4j.jar ??????/

  • SAP GUI taking too much time to open transactions

    Hi guys,
    i have done system copy from Production to Quality server completely.
    after that i started SAP on Quality server, it is taking too much time for opening SAP transactions (it is going in compilation mode).
    i started SGEN, but it is giving time_out errors. please help me on this issue.
    MY hardware details on quality server
    operating system : SuSE Linux 10 SP2
    Database : 10.2.0.2
    SAP : ECC 6.0  SR2
    RAM size : 8 GB
    Hard disk space : 500 GB
    swap space : 16 GB.
    regards
    Ramesh

    Hi,
    >i started SGEN, but it is giving time_out errors. please help me on this issue.
    You are supposed to run SGEN as a batch job and so, it should be possible  to get time out errors.
    I've seen Full SGEN lasting from 3 hours on high end systems up to 8 full days on PC hardware...

  • BPC application is taking too much time to load

    Hi experts!
    I'm facing a very weird problem...
    We've developed a BPC application (app name: USM).
    This application is taking too much time to be loaded  in some computers (around 8 minutes to load).  Yes, in SOME computers.
    There is around 100.000 registers in the database and most coming from material master data.
    If I try to load this USM application in another computer, the process loads smoothly. The computer's hardware is all the same, the server is hyper estimated and everyone is in the same network.
    I talked to infrastructure departament and we made several tests. We run BPC on the server (loaded quickly), on several computers (some loads quickly, others don't), used wireless and cable connection (got all the same result) and checked communication between BW and BPC but it is ok.
    After all, I tried to load APSHEL application in the same enviroment and it loaded intantly. So, I guess it is something wrong with my application. But if was this, I suppose it should happen to all computers and not only with part of them.
    Have anybody ever seen something like this?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Rubens,
    I would try making a couple of test:
    1. I will install the client in a machine that is located in the same network segment, or try using a vpn that comunicates with the server bypassing all security devices, only to see if the network it's the problem.
    2. Making a full optimize of one application to see if maybe the problem it's related to the segmentation of the cubes (i don't think that this is the problem but give it a try).
    It is very wierd that in some computers happends and in others don't... also try to clean up the local cache of the applications in those computers that are giving to you bad performce and retry.
    hope it helps,

  • Report taking too much time in the portal

    Hi freiends,
    we have developed a report on the ods,and we publish the same on the portal.
    the problem is when the users are executing the report at the same time it is taking too much time.because of this the perfoemance is very poor.
    is there any way to sort out this issue,like can we send the report to the individual user's mail id
    so that they can not log in to the portal
    or can we create the same report on the cube.
    what could be the main difference if the report made on the cube or ods?
    please help me
    thanks in advance

    Hi
    Try this to improve performance of query
    Find the query Run-time
    where to find the query Run-time ?
    557870 'FAQ BW Query Performance'
    130696 - Performance trace in BW
    This info may be helpful.
    General tips
    Using aggregates and compression.
    Using less and complex cell definitions if possible.
    1. Avoid using too many nav. attr
    2. Avoid RKF and CKF
    3. Many chars in row.
    By using T-codes ST03 or ST03N
    Go to transaction ST03 > switch to expert mode > from left side menu > and there in system load history and distribution for a particular day > check query execution time.
    /people/andreas.vogel/blog/2007/04/08/statistical-records-part-4-how-to-read-st03n-datasets-from-db-in-nw2004
    /people/andreas.vogel/blog/2007/03/16/how-to-read-st03n-datasets-from-db
    Try table rsddstats to get the statistics
    Using cache memory will decrease the loading time of the report.
    Run reporting agent at night and sending results to email. This will ensure use of OLAP cache. So later report execution will retrieve the result faster from the OLAP cache.
    Also try
    1. Use different parameters in ST03 to see the two important parameters aggregation ratio and records transferred to F/E to DB selected.
    2. Use the program SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS (Performance of BW infocubes) to see the aggregation ratio for the cube. If the cube does not appear in the list of this report, try to run RSRV checks on the cube and aggregates.
    Go to SE38 > Run the program SAP_INFOCUBE_DESIGNS
    It will shown dimension Vs Fact tables Size in percent.If you mean speed of queries on a cube as performance metric of cube,measure query runtime.
    3. To check the performance of the aggregates,see the columns valuation and usage in aggregates.
    Open the Aggregates...and observe VALUATION and USAGE columns.
    "---" sign is the valuation of the aggregate. You can say -3 is the valuation of the aggregate design and usage. ++ means that its compression is good and access is also more (in effect, performance is good). If you check its compression ratio, it must be good. -- means the compression ratio is not so good and access is also not so good (performance is not so good).The more is the positives...more is useful the aggregate and more it satisfies the number of queries. The greater the number of minus signs, the worse the evaluation of the aggregate. The larger the number of plus signs, the better the evaluation of the aggregate.
    if "-----" then it means it just an overhead. Aggregate can potentially be deleted and "+++++" means Aggregate is potentially very useful.
    In valuation column,if there are more positive sign it means that the aggregate performance is good and it is useful to have this aggregate.But if it has more negative sign it means we need not better use that aggregate.
    In usage column,we will come to know how far the aggregate has been used in query.
    Thus we can check the performance of the aggregate.
    Refer.

    performance ISSUE related to AGGREGATE
    Note 356732 - Performance Tuning for Queries with Aggregates
    Note 166433 - Options for finding aggregates (find optimal aggregates for an InfoCube)
    4. Run your query in RSRT and run the query in the debug mode. Select "Display Aggregates Found" and "Do not use cache" in the debug mode. This will tell you if it hit any aggregates while running. If it does not show any aggregates, you might want to redesign your aggregates for the query.
    Also your query performance can depend upon criteria and since you have given selection only on one infoprovider...just check if you are selecting huge amount of data in the report
    Check for the query read mode in RSRT.(whether its A,X or H)..advisable read mode is X.
    5. In BI 7 statistics need to be activated for ST03 and BI admin cockpit to work.

    use tool RSDDK_CHECK_AGGREGATE in se38 to check for the corrupt aggregates

    Note 646402 - Programs for checking aggregates (as of BW 3.0B SP15)
    You can find out whether an aggregate is usefull or useless you can find out through a proccess of checking the tables RSDDSTATAGGRDEF*
    Run the query in RSRT with statistics execute and come back you will get STATUID... copy this and check in the table...
    This gives you exactly which infoobjects it's hitting, if any one of the object is missing it's useless aggregate.

    Check SE11 > table RSDDAGGRDIR . You can find the last callup in the table.

  • After Effects Ram Preview Drops Frames , Using Strangely Too Much Ram

    System Specs :
         CPU : Core i7 4770k
         Memory : 16 GB DDRIII
         Graphic Card : GTX 770 4GB RAM
         Storage : 256 GB SSD + 2 TB HDD
         OS : Windows 7 SP1
         Using After Effects CC 12.2.1.5
    NOTE : NOT ANY ADDITIONAL HARDWARE IS ATTACHED TO MY PC . NO SOUND RELATED EQUIPMENT NOR CAPTURE CARD NOR ANY THING ELSE
    Hi there
    As you Already Don't know I'm an After effects Specialist Using it for quite long time . There is an Ancient Problem with CS6 CC versions . I have a short Small size 1080p Video , about 8 MB , I drag it into project panel and then put it into timeline hence it creates a sequence . There are no Effects and nothing added to timeline , just a small simple video . The Strange Problem is when I click "0" for ram preview , The video starts playing and the green bar above timeline starts to fill . When Ram preview Finishes and plays the video from beginning I See there are several frames Between which are not being loaded to Ram ! The video plays RGB color bar instead of main video and when I check the Green bar above Timeline I see that those frames are being dropped and there is no Green bar above them !
    I have had this problem several times before but this time it is too important and the problem should be solved . What is obvious is that some frames are not being rendered or are being deleted after render !
    Another Strange problem is that when I open Task manager , It shows AE uses around 10 GB ! of RAM when I press "0" for Ram previewing this video !
    So there is a Logical explanation here , Somehow when I do ram preview this video it uses extra ordinary too much ram so AE is unable to load the full video (8 MB) into Ram and hence deletes some of frames .
    most of my videos have not this problem and use acceptable amount of ram .I've had this issue with some of my videos till now .
    Listen carefully : "This has nothing to do with AE preferences or low memory or plugins . because there is nothing wrong with any individual components of may hardware or software . I have far more than enough RAM for a 8MB video . My Memory has no hardware or software problem . I tested them and if there was any problem with memory or other hardware that should have affected other applications . I have the most recent AE version . I have the most Recent windows updates and drivers . I have a Clean virus free system , and as a computer engineer this strange AE problem is rarely caused by viruses , trust me . I have not any hardware instead of ones a normal PC has . I have not any problem with my whole entire system configuration because I have benchmarked my PC with several up to date softwares . I have tested my PC with almost any STRESS TESTING solutions available for really long period of time , 3 days by IDA64 . Not any driver conflict , dll missing , registry problem have been discovered , as I know perfectly how to solve them ."
    I asked some of my friend whom are expert in AE . I handed them my videos and Watched ALL OF THEM HAD THE SAME ISSUE ! So the problem isn't related to my Local PC . What i believe is that there is some malfunctioning or miss coded part in AE source code that decides to reserve such a huge strange amount of ram for such a tiny 8MB video . The point is that the AE works fine , no crash or any problem report . So the AE it Self decides to allocate such huge amount of ram and thinks it is correct ! So I think this is a work around that AE developers in adobe are using to bypass a problem or conflict ! by Using more amount of RAM . I think that there might be some miss understanding between the AE and my installed codec . I installed MEGA CODEC PACK on my PC to enable some new codec supports , and so are some of Windows default de/encoders changed to new ones . I think there shouldn't be any problem But there is something wrong between AE and de/encoder modules !
    Please any one with any suggestion , I really appreciate your advices .

    ###UPDATED###
    Well thank you guys for your patience ...
    as you considered I forgot to mention the codec itself and other stuff ...
    The video is in 1080p , 35 sec long , it is a green screen shot , this video is directly downloaded from YouTube and plays perfectly on all tested PCs . here are detailed info :
    Format                                   : MPEG-4
    Format profile                          : Base Media
    File size                                 : 8.55 MiB

    I think you hit the point ! Thats K-lite codec pack installed on every machine which the video is tested on ! The point is whats wrong with it ?! I have had never ever any problem with this codec pack !!!
    The deadly question : So what are the alternative ways to work with codecs that AE doesn't support ?! because installing codec looks simple and sufficient !

  • Bridge memory leak/using too much ram

    I just built a new PC tower for business use and installed PS, ID, LR, and BR CC trials.  I already have all of these (CS5) on my personal laptop, all work fine.  Bridge on the new tower has been using WAY too much ram/caching too much and crashing everything.  I'd changed cache preferences, purged the cache several times, and within days it is back at it again.  PC specs: 8 core AMD processor, 16GB ram, 2x 3TB HDD 
    This is being used to show photos, edit, burn and print at events.  I cannot keep closing bridge every half hour to keep my computer running.  Right now bridge is NOT keeping 100% previews in cache, exporting cache to folders, cache size is about 25,000.  If bridge is going to crash every half hour on a machine with 16GB of ram, while CS5 ran fine on my laptop with only 4GB something is seriously wrong.  At this point I don't know if I should actually subscribe to CC or just move my CS5 to this new computer.

    I have tried to analize better what happens. In the dashboard I only have a calendar, a calculator, a clock and one postit (but there is nothing writen on it). If I use something in the dashboard, for example, the calculator, and I do some multiplications, after a couple of minutes the use of memory of the dashboard starts to increase. I closed any other program and in some minutes I have sen how it increased until I stopped the process when it was using more than 2GB! (you can see it in the picture). It's very strange! (Thank you very much for your help!)

  • Too much RAM consumption in Photoshop CC 2014.

    Hi people,
    Since the update to Photoshop CC 2014 I'm having serious problems with the amount of RAM used by Photoshop.
    When opening a file (only) 245 MB big, Photoshop uses around 3.5 GB of RAM. As a result my PC is extremely slow.
    This was never the case in previous versions. Files made in previous versions are now hard to work on in the CC 2014 version.
    Some bigger files are now useless. It takes forever to open them and impossible to work on because of this RAM issue.
    I can not open other apps or even browsers at the same time anymore, because Photoshop consumes too much RAM.
    Is it normal Photoshop uses 3.5 GB RAM while the file is that small?
    When comparing with other Adobe (CC 2014) software only Photoshop uses that amount of RAM.
    If you look here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements.html#Photoshop CC 2014 system requirements and language versions
    you can see the minimum requirements of RAM:
    Photoshop CS5:            1GB
    Photoshop CS6:            1GB
    Photoshop CC:             1GB
    Photoshop CC 2014:     2GB (8 GB recommended)
    OK, new versions need more RAM, I understand. But in my case it seems like 6 GB is not enough.
    And I have the feeling even 8 GB won't be enough too.
    Can someone please tell me if there's a problem with Photoshop CC 2014, will this be solved?
    Or is this normal behaviour, and should I buy more RAM?
    Buying more RAM is of course the easiest answer to solve this.
    But don't you think the jump from 1 GB to (minimum) 8 GB RAM is very big?
    And like I said, I don't think 8 GB will cover it too. Then how much will be enough?
    Thnx in advance!
    I have:
    OS:                                Windows 7 Pro
    Processor:                      Intel Xeon CPU W3550 @ 3.07 GHz 3.06 GHz
    System Type:                 64 Bit PC
    RAM:                             6 GB RAM
    Available Disk Space:     283 GB
    Kind regards,
    Lester.

    Ok, thnx for the reply!
    I bought more RAM.
