G4 and La Clie 120GB - Mystery Memory Hogging File

I have an iMac G4 running 10.4.11 with an external firewire La Clie 120GB hard drive.
The "Get info" says the La Clie is using up 71GB. But if I use the Finder and add up all the folders and only get 25GB used.
Which means my HD has a mystery file that is about 46GB. How can I figure out what is going on?

Any freeware ideas?
No problem. The Terminal is free. Pop open Terminal in /Applications/Utilities/ and type the following:
cd /Volumes/LaCie
du -hd 1
The first command will navigate to your external drive. Replace the word LaCie with the name of your external drive, and enclose in quotation marks if necessary. The second command is an acronym for "disk usage"; -h means human readable, and -d means that the results will be displayed to a folder depth of only one. The results may take a few minutes to print out depending on how much stuff there is to count.

Photoshop CC Memory Hog ...

Photoshop CC is a Memory Hog ... I have 4GB and PS CC is the only thing open my ram drops to like 895mb free...

Definitely more RAM would be ideal -- but only useful with a 64-bit OS. You can adjust the amount of memory the OS will allow PS to use in Photoshop Preferences > Performance if you need to work with the system config you have and need ram allocation change to help with performance problems with PS or other applications.
You might find this article of interest (written for CS6 but should generally apply for CC).

Lightroom and CS3 Simultaneously - How much memory?

I've been trying to use Lightroom's image management features, but need to finish the "keepers" in CS3. The problem is my computer only has 2G of RAM, and both Lightroom and CS3 are giant memory hogs. Has anyone been able to successfully run both programs at the same time (with reasonably complicated PS files consisting of a dozen layers or so) ?
If so, how much memory does it take? 4G 8G?
Thanks,
--Michael

The wording of your question seems to suggest that your setup has issues with running Lr and Ps simultaneously. Disk thrashing? Memory swapping? Slow performance? What is your machine configuration?
I have an Intel Dual 2 Core machine with 2Gb RAM and routinely run Lr (on Canon 20D raw files), Ps CS3 beta, Bridge, email client, and Firefox web client all at the same time with little issue.
And have you consulted Adobe's knowledge base for performance tips?

CS2 Memory Hog

Is it just me or is Photoshop CS2, including the Bridge, a terrible memory hog!!

"384MB of RAM to run any one creative application with Adobe® Bridge
and Version Cue® Workspace
Additional RAM required to run multiple applications simultaneously
(512MB to 1GB recommended) "
By the way, are you using the Photoshop SDK, a programmer tool? If so,
please focus the question so the people here know how you are using
it. If you aren't using the Photoshop SDK, I recommend asking in the
general Photoshop (Windows or Mac) forum.
On the list of forums in http://www.adobe.com/support/forums.html the
general Photoshop section, for Windows or Macintosh, is called "Adobe
Photoshop® & Adobe ImageReady®", 5 lines up from Photoshop SDK.

Iv'e have a ipod touch 4g and it always has high memory why is that?

ever since i got my ipod touch several apps say that the memory s above 70% and tells me to restart the device after a while i do that the momory is still high evan with the new update. can anyone help me?

The 4G iPod only has 256 MB of memory. Some apps are just memory hogs. Restarting the iPod frees up memory.

What is difference between 32 bit and 64 bit sql server memory management

What is difference between 32 bit and 64 bit sql server memory management
Thanks
Shashikala

This is the basic difference...check if helps:
A 32-bit CPU running 32-bit software (also known as the x86 platform) is so named because it is based on an architecture that can manipulate values that are up to 32 bits in length. This means that a 32-bit memory pointer can store a value between 0 and
4,294,967,295 to reference a memory address. This equates to a maximum addressable space of 4GB on 32-bit platforms
On the other hand 64-bit limit of 18,446,744,073,709,551,616, this number is so large that in memory/storage terminology it equates to 16 exabytes. You don’t come across that term very often, so to help understand the scale, here is the value converted to
more commonly used measurements: 16 exabytes = 16,777,216 petabytes (16 million PB)➤ 17,179,869,184 terabytes (17 billion TB)➤ 17,592,186,044,416 gigabytes (17 trillion GB)➤
As you can see, it is signiﬁcantly larger than the 4GB virtual address space usable in 32-bit systems; it’s so large in fact that any hardware capable of using it all is sadly restricted to the realm of science ﬁction. Because of this, processor manufacturers
decided to only implement a 44-bit address bus, which provides a virtual address space on 64-bit systems of 16TB. This was regarded as being more than enough address space for the foreseeable future and logically it’s split into an 8TB range for user mode
and 8TB for kernel mode. Each 64-bit process running on an x64 platform will be able to address up to 8TB of VAS.

Hello, I have two questions on time capsule I can only have it on my external hd files and free up my internal memory to my mac I can use an external hard drive, in my case a lacie rugged as shared memory for my two computers

I have a mackbook pro and an iMac if I buy a time capsule 2tb airport, I can use it with time machine and what would be the best way to use it.
There is no particular setup required for TM.. both computers will create their own backup sparsebundle which is like a virtual disk.. Pondini explains the whole thing if you read the reference I gave you.
and how to use time capsule airport whit other external hd to use my old lacie airport with the new time capsule
Up to you.. you can plug the external drive into the TC and enjoy really slow file transfers or you can plug it into your computer and use it as external drive.. which is faster than the TC.. and TM can include it in the backup.
Again everything is explained in the reference.. you are not reading it.

Help! Vmware Fusion and windows vista suck up memory fast.

Hi,
I'm running windows Vista x64 Edition through vmware fusion (v2.0) on my macbook (intel 2.4 ghz) and its sucking up memory really fast. I don't have any snapshots and for the moment the virtual machine takes up about 26 gb of my memory. Everytime I start windows with vmware I immediately lose about 1gb of free space on my macbook, which I then recover after closing down vmware, so I guess that's normal. However my memory keeps on decreasing constantly when using vista, without me doing anything else than using internet explorer (no gaming or downloads) and I never get that memory back. I can't seem to understand what causes this constant and rapid memory loss (it can go up to 2gb of memory loss in an hour). (I also get an error message when starting vmware stating :"serial0: Failed to connect to the Virtual Printer daemon after 25 attempts.", but I think its irrelevant).
Here are some specifics on how i set the settings for vmware:
* Processor: 1 virtual processor - RAM: 1084 MB -Autoprotect:disabled -Hard Disk: SCSI Bus type, 40GB disk size, pre-allocate disk space unchecked, Split into 2GB files checked.
I also tried entering the windows Vista x64 Edition in my virtual machine library by right-clicking and selecting "show package content". I noticed there were files named "Windows Vista x64 Edition-s0xx.vmdk", ranging from "Windows Vista x64 Edition-s001.vmdk" to "Windows Vista x64 Edition-s021.vmdk" and files named "Windows Vista x64 Edition-000001-s0xx.vmdk" ranging from "Windows Vista x64 Edition-000001-s001.vmdk" to "Windows Vista x64 Edition-000001-s021.vmdk". These files take up most of the 26GB of memory of my virtual machine.
I would be grateful for any suggestions as my vmware fusion is rendered useless by this problem (under 2,2GB of free space on your computer you can't even start the virtual machine so I've had to delete tons of stuff to keep it running) and I badly need vista for my studies.
Thank you for your help!

Nio ByteBuffer and memory-mapped file size limitation

I have a question/issue regarding ByteBuffer and memory-mapped file size limitations. I recently started using NIO FileChannels and ByteBuffers to store and process buffers of binary data. Until now, the maximum individual ByteBuffer/memory-mapped file size I have needed to process was around 80MB.
However, I need to now begin processing larger buffers of binary data from a new source. Initial testing with buffer sizes above 100MB result in IOExceptions (java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Map failed).
I am using 32bit Windows XP; 2GB of memory (typically 1.3 to 1.5GB free); Java version 1.6.0_03; with -Xmx set to 1280m. Decreasing the Java heap max size down 768m does result in the ability to memory map larger buffers to files, but never bigger than roughly 500MB. However, the application that uses this code contains other components that require the -xMx option to be set to 1280.
The following simple code segment executed by itself will produce the IOException for me when executed using -Xmx1280m. If I use -Xmx768m, I can increase the buffer size up to around 300MB, but never to a size that I would think I could map.
try
String mapFile = "C:/temp/" + UUID.randomUUID().toString() + ".tmp";
FileChannel rwChan = new RandomAccessFile( mapFile, "rw").getChannel();
ByteBuffer byteBuffer = rwChan.map( FileChannel.MapMode.READ_WRITE,
0, 100000000 );
rwChan.close();
catch( Exception e )
e.printStackTrace();
I am hoping that someone can shed some light on the factors that affect the amount of data that may be memory mapped to/in a file at one time. I have investigated this for some time now and based on my understanding of how memory mapped files are supposed to work, I would think that I could map ByteBuffers to files larger than 500MB. I believe that address space plays a role, but I admittedly am no OS address space expert.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Regards- KJ

How do I remove an alert for a calendar item that has long since been deleted? and yet goes off mysteriously, un-deletably, and un-editably every single ****** week !!

How do I remove an alert for a calendar item that has long since been deleted? and yet goes off mysteriously, un-deletably, and un-editably every single ****** week !!

I have the same problem with my iPhone. I set up a recurring calendar event for every Thursday. That event is no longer happening during the summer, so I went in and chose one from the current month and selected Delete. Then it gve me two choices, one of which was to Delete All Future Events of this one, and that's what I chose. I figured, this way, I'll still be able to see the ones from the past, but won't have to see (or hear the alert) for the future ones.
The following week, my phone alerted me to the appointment, and even showed it on the initial screen, even though it wasn't in the calendar. I went in to the calendar and NOTHING was scheduled for that day. So why is this happening?
So I set up a new recurring event, for in the past, then went in and deleted all furture occurances, and it did the same thing... still alerted to an event that was no longer in the calendar.
I hope somebody else has found a fix, or at least a reason for why this is happening.

SafariSyncClient Memory Hog – What's Going On?

All you Mac Wizards out there:
I've recently upgraded to Mountain Lion on my late 2008 13" MacBook. All seems well except something is haywire with Safari. I keep getting the program SafariSyncClient running and consuming enormous blocks of memory. The processor runs hot and the fans go at top speed while nothing happens (and the machine responsiveness slows to a crawl). I've tried deleting the Safari bookmarks.plist and letting it re-sync with iCloud, and it still happens. It consumes a large amount of processor, too. I've got 6 GB in this, and with only Firefox, PathFinder and a couple of other programs running (none very large--altogether maybe 500 MB), and SafariSyncClient is consuming 3.3 GB of RAM (yes, GB!) and there is a 2.25 GB page file! And this is after a restart. This is crazy! Never had this problem before upgrading. Force quit the application and it just happens again, over and over. Rebooting, purging the cache, whatever...still happens.
Next try is to do a clean start with no background apps, but on my iMac I have all the same stuff running, but no issue with SafariSyncClient.
So Frustrating!
I've searched and searched and have found little report of this issue.
Any ideas? Here's a shot from Activity Monitor.
Thanks so much.

Okay, this is offically nuts. I just restarted and omitted my background applications. Started and closed Safari. Within 10 minutes all of the memory was gone. The Sync Client was up to 4.4 GB and counting, and the swap file up to more than 3 GB. Only Finder and some system background apps running. I watched as the memory got sucked dry like the second hand on a clock.
Next try is a safe boot. I'm quite sure the problem is somewhere with Safari and not a rogue application.
Anyone else out there with this issue?
Please help!
