Help With Memory Install

I have a new 2.8 Mac Pro.
It comes with 2G memory.
Intending to expand to 8g, I bought 2*1G memory, and 2*2 Gig of memory. I installed but the Mac did not see it. I am sure I'm probably putting it in the wrong slots.
Could someone guide me as to where these DIMMS should be placed?
Thanks
Tom

When adding ram, you must put together matching pairs of fb-dimm, but it looks like this rule has an important, and confusing, exception : the stock configuration has one fb-dimm on top riser, and the second on the bottom riser. (According to what I read here and there, I have not received my macpro yet to confirm...)
So you must now put together the two stock 1Gb ram, as well as the two 2Gb and 1Gb pairs you bought. (Do not mix the sizes, nor the brands.)
So you could put 2x2Gb in slot 1 and 2 on top riser, 2x1Gb stock ram on slot 3 and 4 on top riser, and the last 2x1Gb ram you bought on slot 1 and 2 on bottom riser...
Hope this helps,
phjo
P.S. : the output of ABOUT THIS MAC you reported is interesting... Maybe the rules could be bent here and there for better cooling efficiency, such as putting 4 memory modules on slot 1 and 3 on top riser and bottom ? (Does not apply in your case as you have 6 dimms, but could be tested... Someone ?)

I need help with re installing my apple account for itunes.

Had problems with my itune account, so I uninstalled and now need help with re-installing the program with the songs I have already purchased.

Your iTunes account is something at the iTunes Store online. It is not possible to uninstall it. Do you mean the iTunes application? Even if you delete the application and restore it, it should not have deleted your iTunes library (essentially the contents of the iTunes folder in Music) on your computer unless you did a separate steep and specifically deleted that too. You need to tell us what it was you deleted.

New to Oracle - could really use help with memory configuration

I'm new to Oracle and am assuming the support role on a system that is using Oracle 8.1.7 as the database server and need help with memory configuration.
The server is being used with FileNet and we're having issues while trying to purge logs (purge never completes) and the disk drive activity LED is on almost solid. My guess is is that it's not using enough/doesn't have enough memory therefore constantly reading off the disk and going too slow to finish the purge between nightly backups in which the database service is stopped.
The server is running on Windows 2000 Server SP4, has 1G of RAM and is dual-Xeon processor.
Any help or starting point references would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ...
You can use a StatsPack for guess the best distribution memory with your DB needs.

Tips and help with re-installing Lion over Snow Leopard

I had MAJOR issues with my initial Lion install on my Mid-2009 MBP- so much so, that I had to wipe my hard drive and re-install Snow Leopard and all my applications. My major issues were as follows:
1. All my files were locked out- I could open them in most cases, but I couldn't overwrite them- Lion had aded some funky permissions scheme that I didn't recognize, and my user name wasn't present on any of them. In some cases, I couldn't even open files, even though they were resident on my hard drive (and in my own user folder) before the upgrade to Lion.
2. Apple's own Universal Binary apps wouldn't work after the upgrade. Final Cut Pro 6, in particular, came up with a message that it was a "PowerPC" app and wouldn't run- yet Shake 4.1 would run just fine!
3. Adobe Creative Suite 3- after the upgrade, my Abode Ceative Suite 3 apps worked just fine, for about a day- that is, until I tried to correct the file permissions issue by changing permission on a few of my folders in my User folder (and electing to change permissions in the files contained therein)- at which point my Adobe apps told me that they were damaged and needed to be reinstalled. Yet after uninstaling and reinstalling the entire Creative Suite 3 times, I still would get the same message.
My entire workflow is Adobe CS and FCS2- why chould I have to pay the upgrade costs just to use Lion? FCPX is completely brkoen for my workflow and eqipment, and Adobe can't even guarantee that CS5 works with Lion- so why does Apple insist on Lion when it's hardly even compatible with its own products?
I really want to use Lion, but I am looking for some tips on instalation to kep these problems from happening again. I didn' have ANY of these problems with upgrading OS 10.2 through 10.6. Any help with prepping my system/files for upgrading would be helpful. Thanks!

any new Apple kB articles

Me, I think clone backups are more useful, and only use T.M. as secondary.
Using Cloning as a Backup Strategy
I'd assume that professional apps may need to be tested still; and of course check to see what you have that depends on PowerPC code and Rosetta first. That has some in a tither.
A clone lets you still be able to boot Snow Leopard. Check out Carbon Copy, SuperDuper.

Help with Tiger install and getting hot keys and start up manager to work

this open firmware issue, how do you get around it? Wonder if it is causing me trouble; i.e. shift and other keys do not work and keeping me from booting with Tiger install. How do I access these keys then?
I did a clean install on a secondary internal drive (device 1) 150GB Maxtor

Hi Ali,
re: this open firmware issue, how do you get around it? I really did not understand the support page you link to...but wonder if it is causing me trouble; i.e. shift and other keys do not work. How do I access these keys then?
Is this a Wireless KB you have? Many aren't recognized until after booting.
Hmmm, you've got the firmware Update needed for the AGP to install/use 10.4...
I think I'd try this, worked for me on 3 such macs...
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the Erase tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume, then choose MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Partition tab.
6. Click Erase & look for Security Options. choose Zero 1 pass."

Help with Classic install

Hi all, I'm sure this question has been asked before so forgive me. I've looked all around and found solutions that were 'similar' to my problem but none that will work. here we go.
I just got an old Mac G4 tower (AGP) and bought Tiger to put on it. (not sure what version of OSX was on it before) Anyway I did a clean install and everythig works great. No problems at all.
I was installing a program yesterday that turns out needs Classic support. Right now there is no updated version of this program and I need to run it. My machine doesnt have Classic support. How do I install it? I've read that there is a second install disk that you can use my my boxed version of OSX has only one disk. I searched the disk and see that there is a Classic folder on it with an install app but when i run it it doesnt do anything. It just informs me that neither of my hard drivers have Classic.
I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I REALLY need to run this legacy application.

I'd find that 2nd DVD, it's supposed to come with OSX
10.4. Follow the instructions on this article and an
"Applications (OS9)" folder will appear in your
Macintosh HD.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/
en/mh763.html
OS 9 has not shipped with OS X since Jaguar.
However, OS 9 does ship with PPC Macs. It should be on the install DVD, or on the 2nd or 3rd CD, depending on which Mac. Example: my original 700 MHz eMac shipped with OS X 10.1 and OS 9.2.2 on separate CDs, both bootable. My 1.25 GHz eMac shipped with OS X 10.3 and OS 9.2.2, with the OS X disc being bootable and the OS 9.2.2 disc being part of the applications suite and not being bootable. My 2.1 GHz iMac shipped with OS X 10.4 and OS 9.2.2 on the same DVD. OS 9.2.2 is again part of the application suite and cannot be booted from the DVD. The Intel Macs at the office shipped with OS X 10.4 and that's it, no OS 9.2.2 as Classic does not run on them.
A boxed set of OS X 10.2 shipped with OS 9.2.2 on a separate CD. (It was a white 'universal install' CD and would install on all Macs produced up to that time.) I have such a boxed set on a shelf in the cupboard right now. A boxed set of OS X 10.3 shipped with four CDs, none of which was OS 9. I have such a boxed set on a shelf near my eMac right now. A boxed set of 10.4 shipped with a single DVD. I have such a boxed set on a shelf near my eMac right now. I have just opened the box and verified by sight: one DVD, OS X only. A further check of the contents of that DVD show no mention of OS 9.
The OP will need to have the system CDs or DVD which shipped with his Mac to install Classic.

Help with memory management

Hi apple community - I'm at a loss.... Can someone please help me with my memory management? My computer has become so slow lately. I've read a bunch of forums and can't seem to find anything that helps. I can't find a pattern to the slowness other than when I use big files in Photoshop it slows down quite a bit, but I assume that's normal when you're editing photos that are around 1GB... My computer doesn't really seem to be releasing inactive memory at all. Once it goes inactive, I can close all the programs I want but it never becomes free. I tried applications like "Free memory" and they worked but it's not really fixing the problem and when I do re-open stuff it takes FOREVER so I didn't really like using those. I attached a screen shot of my activity monitor... Any help would be much appreciated... thanks!

Simple fact is it looks like you have every program ever installed on your system open all at the same time.
Post how Many Processes are running. I bety it is well over 100.
Sure 8GBs is plenty of RAM IF you actually shut down, QUIT, Programs you are done using them.
Just from the SS you posted you have Spotify, Numbers, Pages, Skype and Safari all open and running, let alone what isn't shown in that SS. And now you open Photoshop and load a Large Image and you expect the system to just fly. Not going to happen. The whole Apple Mac thing of not shutting down programs when you close the last Windows that is open on the desktop has always been IMHO Very Stupid. In this Respect Windows has OS X beat Hands Down (alone with other feature that are just done better in Windows). You Click the X and the window and program close which frees up the RAM and all resources that program was using.
So Shut some of that Stuff Down. System will get faster.

Urgent help with memory issue (ORA-04031)

Hi Geeks,
Came Across this below error in alert log in of our databases. Interestingly this error only pops up while the database backup runs. Below are the memory parameters.
memory_max_target big integer 14G
memory_target big integer 13G
pga_aggregate_target big integer 0
sga_target big integer 0
shared_pool_reserved_size big integer 192M
shared_pool_size big integer 0
ORA-04031: unable to allocate 5792 bytes of shared memory
("shared pool","unknown object","sga heap(1,1)","ges resource ")
Errors in file /apps/opt/oracle/diag/asm/+asm/+ASM1/trace/+ASM1_lmd0_14123.trc
I have tried specifying a value to shared_pool_size but with no luck..!! Pls help. I am not sure how to resolve this.

Hi, ORA-4031 in this case can be caused by unrestricted growth of the PGA, thus forcefully reducing the SGA.
We've had this in the past also.
The solution is in older versions to increase the shared_pool_size as you mentioned but with ASMM, this is no longer an option. You can however retrict the growth of the PGA by setting SGA_TARGET.
On our system this now looks like:
SQL> show parameter _target
NAME                                 TYPE                 VALUE
db_flashback_retention_target        integer              1440
memory_max_target                    big integer          10G
memory_target                        big integer          10G
pga_aggregate_target                 big integer          0
sga_target                           big integer          8GSee how we in fact set the max growth of the PGA to 2Gb ( 10Gb - 8Gb)
Try this and see if ot works for you also
Success!!

Help with Re-installing an app through app manager after after accidental uninstalled?

Okay - I've purchased lightroom 4, with the intent to upgrade my creative suite from 5.5 to 6 a week or so ago... Adobe was kind enough to credit me back as at time of upgrade, CS6 was no longer available and lightroom 4 would have been included in my CC membership.
I've installed all the CC apps, and received a weird german email about LR4 intalls... So I uninstalled my current copy of LR4 and went to re-install from the CC app manager... It says that it is already installed and won't let me download it from the site... The trouble is that it isn't really installed anymore, and now I really need to use it... Any help would certainly be appreicated.
Thanks.

If you are using Windows Mahcine then go to control panel and uninstall the lightroom properly from there.
If you are using MAC then go to /Applications/Utilities/Adobe installers and find the uninstaller of lightroom and double click the same to uninstall.
If still you are not able to uninstall the application completly then use CS cleaner tool to uninstall the software. you can download CS cleaner tool from : http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

[SOLVED] need help with virtualbox install

I'm a relative n00b to Arch, haging migrated from Ubuntu (pha!!). Arch rocks!
However, my beloved virtualbox isnt playing ball!
After many hours of getting arch up and running I now need some assitance please with VirtualBox PEUL. I've googled and search these wikis and found:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd
http://www.mail-archive.com/vbox-users% … 02889.html
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox
but, I dont know how to install.
I used yaourt (having spent another many hours trying to get to speed with what Arch AUR is and yaourt!!)
This is what I did:
1. Visited http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox and followed PEUL instructions...
2. Click on AUR link and then click on PKGBUILD and it downloaded a PKGBUILD from here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd
3. Then went back to the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox and clicked on VirtualBox_1.5.6-1_Linux_x86.run and downloaded the file.
4. In accordance with the instructions on the wiki, I ran makepkg
HOWEVER, I get errors!!:

Help with archive & install

Aloha!
I hope someone can help me since I've been searching and reading these discussions all day and haven't found the answer to my problem.
I updated my OS to Leopard 10.5 and began experiencing problems. I did a archive and install back to Tiger 10.4 and now don't know how to restore all the user files in the "previous system folder". I've read the Apple article on restoring after archive and install but I don't understand the whole instructions. I tried creating a new user (with same short name and password) and created a .dmg file of the previous system user folder using disk utility. After copying the files, it doesn't allow me to open the applications. It says I don't have sufficient access privileges. I can't confirm if the file transfer was successful. I'm totally lost and confused. Any help will be appreciated.

Which article was that please?

Help with memory leak using DAQmx & VB6

I'm using DAQmx 8 with VB6 to control an NI 6251 analog input board. The application calls for changing channel configurations as the system is running, thus there are many multiple create task/clear task calls. I've been trying to track a memory leak, so I've created a very simple VB app to help identify the source. I have a loop with the following calls in it:
DAQmxCreateTask
DAQmxAddGlobalChansToTask
DAQmxCfgSampClkTiming
DAQmxStartTask
DAQmxReadAnalogF64
DAQmxClearTask
I see a little over 1Kb leak per loop iteration. If I skip everything except the create task, add channels and clear task, it still shows a leak.
Am I doing something wrong? Should I not be calling CreateTask/ClearTask multiple times?
Thanks for any help.
mfrazer

Mfrazer,
You definitely don’t want to have CreateTask and subsequently
ClearTask in a loop, nor does it look like you need to for your application.
You only need on task, you just need to change the task, so there is no need to
create multiple tasks. So leave the CreateTask and ClearTask on the outsides of
your loop, and keep everything else on the inside of the loop and make the
changes you need to the task each iteration. Also you are going to want to have
a DAQmxStopTask after your read to make sure the task is stopped and in the
proper state to be reconfigured. I hope that helps.
