Finer takes too much memory on yosemite! and keeps taking more and more until it gets the machine to it's knees! What to do???

Right after getting yosemite on my Macbook Pro with 16GB memory and SSD HDD. I find that after working for 30 minutes or so that the machine gets really slow, even switching between screens gets kinda of sluggish!!!
So i looked into the Activity Monitor and to my surprise i find that Finder is taking more than 4GB of memory just by itself and high percentage of CPU.
If i quit it, the machine goes back to being normal, but then Finder will restart, and again after 30 minutes or so, it does the same thing over and over.
I am sure that it's some kind of a bug, but i don't know where to start to solve this problem!!!
This never happened on previous OSXs.
If anyone have a hint it will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Copy an image into system clipboard takes too much memory

Our Swing application copies a java.awt.BufferedImage into the system clipboard. Our image has a size of 1024x768 pixels and a depth of 24 bits per pixel.
The copy from the image to the system clipboard works, but is very slow and takes too much memory. Before the copy, java.exe uses about 30 MB. After the copy, it uses about 90 MB! However, a 1024x768x3 image should consume only 2,4 MB.
We did some debugging and it seems the AWT library does several copies of our original image in order to copy it in the system clipboard. I guess that each of these copies takes a lot of memory (probably because of a different format from the original image) and is not immediately garbage collected.
This is a big issue for our application because the JVM throws an OutOfMemoryError when we try to copy a new image to the system clipboard.
Here is our code. Do you have any idea? Thanks a lot for your help.
// Create the image
BufferedImage image = new BufferedImage(1024, 768, BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR);
Graphics2D g2 = image.createGraphics();
drawSomething(g2);
g2.dispose();
// Put the image into the system clipboard
ImageSelection handler = new ImageSelection(image);
Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
clipboard.setContents(handler, handler);
* An implementation of Transferable and ClipboardOwner to be used with
* images.
public class ImageSelection implements Transferable, ClipboardOwner {
    private static final DataFlavor flavors[] = {DataFlavor.imageFlavor};
    private Image image;
    public ImageSelection(Image imageToCopy) {
        this.image = imageToCopy;
    // Interface ClipboardOwner
    public void lostOwnership(Clipboard clipboard, Transferable transferable) {
        image = null;
    // Interface Transferable
    public Object getTransferData(DataFlavor flavor) throws UnsupportedFlavorException,
                                                            IOException {
        if (isDataFlavorSupported(flavor)) {
            return image;
        else {
            throw new UnsupportedFlavorException(flavor);
    public DataFlavor[] getTransferDataFlavors() {
        return flavors;
    public boolean isDataFlavorSupported(DataFlavor flavor) {
        return flavor.equals(flavors[0]);
}

why dont u use other data structure to store the image , which will take less memory.

My hard drive died last week, and I needed to install a new one. Previously, I was able to save a .doc with text and inserted photo to .pdf and then to .jpg. Now I can get the .pdf but can't determine what to do to convert to .jpg. Does anyone know ?

Rather than do that, which means starting over from scratch, losing all your edits, organisation and so on, why not simply use iPhoto Library Manager to revert the Library to the older version? Easier, less destructive.
The instructions on that are here
If you really want to start over: you can access the Originals folder simply by going to your Pictures Folder and finding the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.

USB6356 daqmx read.vi takes too much memory

I am using USB 6356 for data acquisition, when I took data, the DAQmx read.vi took more and more PC memory. Until certain point, show "there is no enough memory to complete". I set 2Ms/channel and 1M Hz rate, I know it is very big. But it takes daat for 6-7 times without problem. My PC has 3 G memory.
It seems that DAQmx read store more and more data in buffer. I attach my vi here, please check it what mistake I did here or how to improve it.
Thanks Liming
Solved!

Hi detech,
Your VI uses a waveform chart. This type of display keeps a history of your previous waveforms, and each time you write to it new data is appended to the end of the history.
So in the first iteration of the loop, your graph is storing and displaying 2 million points-per-channel. In the next iteration, it tries to store and display 4 million points, then 6 million, and it will continue in this fashion until you run out of memory.
Aside from the memory usage, trying to parse a 2-million point or larger array and graph it is very processor intensive, and this will only get worse each iteration of the loop. I suspect your system is also getting slower and slower as you run the VI.
You can use a waveform graph in place of the waveform chart, which will not keep a history of your previous display, and resolve your memory issues.
However, it sounds like you need some amount of logging for your application. Can you describe what your trying to do with the data you acquire, and also post what version of DAQmx you have?
There are several ways built into the DAQmx API and LabVIEW to deal with large amounts of data, and I'm sure we can find one that will work well for you.

Too much memory used Yosemite OS

I took my MBAir back into the Apple Store after downloading Yosemite and the computer was crashing do to overuse of the memory. They said there was nothing wrong but it keeps happening and obviously it is happening to others. Not sure what to do other than get no answer from Apple employees and be left with a new computer that does not work for more than 15 minutes at a time.
Anyone have an answer for me?

Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.corerecents.recentsd
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Help!! Update takes too much memory

I have an older ipod and i hit the update button and it says it takes up more room than i have. i turned it off and back on but is that enough to stop it?

Are you doing the Settings>General>Software Update? If you are I would not call that an older iPod.
There is no way to really stop it unless it completes.

Why does Firefox keep telling me that it is using too much memory, (eg: 235MB) and I should restart Firefox?

Lately Firefox has been popping up a warning while I am on the internet saying, that "Firefox" is using too much memory. It suggests shutting down Firefox and restarting Firefox. It also told me how much memory that is in use at that time. It is usually about 235MB or more. What is normal memory use for Firefox to use while I am on the internet? Does high usage mean that some other person is trying to get into my computer?

You appear to have AVG installed:
*See --> http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=173969#post_173969
From reading on the internet, it appears that when there is a spike in memory usage, AVG "interprets" that as a memory leak, possibly caused by malware. AVG could be incorrect concerning that assumption. Maybe they are being a bit too conservative about memory usage; just my opinion.
The decision is yours to turn off the "advisor" or leave it on.

Bootcamp: WinXP: Network initialization takes too much time

Hey
I've set up a BootCamp partition on my Macbook 6,1: Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3 (up-to-date).
Its a fresh installation, with latest BootCamp drivers.
From start on, the network-initialization takes too much time:
- Windows boots up
- Enter password
- Desktop appear
- after 2-3 minutes, the network symbols appear in the taskbar.
If I open the System Control panel and want to enter the networking-devices it loads until network is really initiated.
I also can't browse to any web-site (through IE).
So, it seems that something blocks or prevent the networking from fast start-up.
I've tried to disable WLAN, same problem
If I disconnect all connections (no LAN-cable, no WLAN configured) its still the same problem.
Does anybody have a similar issue?

You can read: I have installed BootCamp (Lions one said no, but I have an MacBook 6,1 - Yep, this one was shipped with Snow Leopard, so I have the "old" BootCamp drivers with XP-drivers on my Install-disc.).
The BootCamp drivers from the Mac OSX 10.6 CD are installed and updated through Apple-Update.
So, WinXP should be supported?

FPGA code using too much memory? getting error 52000

Hi all,
   I'm having trouble getting some FPGA code to run. What I am trying to do with the program is acquire data using DAQmx from two fgen's, and then use an FPGA based lock-in amplifier to find the frequency of these signals and their phase difference (It's actually only a slight modification of a lock-in amplifier available on the NI site). I keep getting error 52000 when I start up the program, indicating I'm using up too much memory somewhere. I don't know why this is, as even the lowest sampling rates I give to the DAQ do not keep this problem from happening. Could someone look at my code to see whats going on?
Thanks,

Why do I have to run the plug-in container in my processes constantly in this version? It takes up too much memory!

The earlier version of Firefox did not run this plug-in container. Every time I would remove it from my processes it would kill videos etc. But, it was all fine in the older version of Firefox, so why the change? So I chose not to update Firefox. Then, the other day, I saw that is was automatically downloading and I turned off my computer because it wouldn't stop and I didn't give permission. When I got home I could not use Firefox and it took me hours to figure out how to get the internet back. Then I got Firefox back and this stupid process is running again. It takes up too much memory. I don't like a bunch of extra processes running like that. So, why can't I just use the old version? Is this process absolutely necessary?

In the past the memory usage would end up as part of the Firefox program. Now with OOPP you can see it as a separate process and that makes it more noticeable.
You can disable OOP if you want.<br />

I upgraded to Firefox 8 and it is eating up too much memory. Need help.

I received a message to upgrade to the new version 8 to correct instability issues with Firefox. Ever since I did, I keep getting messages that Firefox is eating too much memory. My system is running slower than ever before. Last time the message showed it was 3.0 mb.

Firefox 12 STILL consumes too much memory and periodically stalls

1. This has gone on actually since at least Firefox 8 for many of us. With Windows 7 32 or 64bit, AND we are told OTHER OS's as well, Firefox 12 IS consuming too much memory!
When FF 12 memory consumption "hits" 800MB on a 8 GB machine, and continues to slowly climb, FF 12 has code or other problems.
2. ALSO, Firefox 12 under many circumstances, is slowing to a crawl, especially in opening windows and tabs.
NOTHING we do, inspect with memory tools, etc. seems to point to any "culprits" or guide the way to researching and potentially solving these problems...and they ARE problems within Firefox 12, and likely earlier versions.
TIME TO CLEAR THE AIR?
These are problems being seen by others, with or without any (totally blanked out/disabled) Add-On's and even most Plug-In's being disabled or removed, both for testing the problems sen in FF 12.
There IS a problem, or more than one, here, and it's not isolated or "just refer to this checklist" solvable.
There's problems, perhaps memory leaks and other agenda IN THE CODE.
We users need to stop being poo-poo'ed and "pampered" by needless communications that do nothing to truly address the problems.

I encountered this after the memory leak was mentioned as pat of a slowdown issue with an add-on that has been in use as long as I've been using Firefox (All-in one sidebar -AIOS). After a relatively short length of time under both Firefox 11 and 12 it starts to slow down. Sub menus take more than a second to show up when the parent menu is clicked, links take more than a second to activate, pages don't load as quickly. (I have a 30Mbps downstream internet connection that I test regularly, and consistently shows between 25 and 30MBps speeds from multiple sites throughout the US. It's NOT my download speed.)
In looking for explanations I saw at least one mention of a memory Leak.
So I decided to test this for myself. I first removed AIOS, then re-started Firefox and just left it running. I did nothing except minimize and restore it a few times. About an hour later the memory used by FF had gone from a reasonable 42K or so, to over 200K.
I tested again after uninstalling ALL my add-ons and plug ins. The same thing happened again.
This is NOT simply high memory use. Which I interpret as a particular tasks or process using more memory than it maybe should.
This is quite clearly a memory leak. Nothing was being executed, nothing was running with Firefox, and no pages were loaded during this time. But he use memory just steadily grew.
This is clearly a new issues since I did NOT have this problem when I was using Firefox 8. If I can find an install of that I'm going back to it.
If not I'll settle for the ESR mentioned here. If nothing else it seems to have a slower leak.
I never did like the new version number / rapid release schedule. Mostly because growing version numbers at that rate made no real sense to me as a developer myself.
