How can I empty my main memory?

Hi ,
my main memory is almost full.
what can I do? ... and where?

Not your memory, but your hard drive storage.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

How can I empty anApple e-mail program mailbox. I have thousands of message I wish to delete, but am unable to do so. Any suggestions?

How can I empty an Apple e-mail program mailbox. I have thousands of message I wish to delete, but am unable to do so. I open the e-mails on my laptop, so I don't usually need to open them on the iMac. Whenever I use select all, and the move to trash, they always seem to reappear again. Prospectively, I know I can change the e-mail settings in preferences, but that doesn't help get rid of what is already there. Any suggestions?

You mention 2 computers. Not sure how one relates to the other. Are the messages on one and not the other?
Are they in the Inbox, or another local folder you created? If a local folder, delete the folder.
Do you have anything used to sync messages between the 2 computers? If so, disable it.
Select the messages and choose Delete instead of moving to the trash.
If that doesn't work, rebuild the mailbox, quit Mail and reopen and try again.
If all fails, delete the account from the computer. Since it is POP, when you re-add the account, there won't be any messages to download.

How can i transfer my main HD to a new one?

How can i transfer my main HD to a new one?

If yours in a MacBook Pro notebook computer, the usual way is to buy or borrow an external enclosure to do the transfer from a perfectly-working drive inside your MacBook to the new drive mounted in the enclosure.
If your internal drive has failed, other methods may be needed.
If you do not already have at least one external enclosure, you should buy one to use for your Backup Drive. If money is short, you could borrow the enclosure your backup drive is in (in most cases) for this transfer.
The Mac will boot from any drive specified in
System preferences > Startup Drive ...
... regardless of whether that drive is Internal or External.

I have 7 email accounts on my phone. If I tap EDIT while viewing the Trash folder in any of them I see "Mark All" on the left and "Delete All" on the right. If you tap any message, however, the legends go away.

Can not down load I0s7 due not enough memory on my iphone5 how can i free up more memory?

Or, do the update while connected to iTunes, which does not require extra space on your device, and in my experience seems to be a much more reliable update method anyway.

David,
The various templates in Pages seem to have been designed by individuals without much guidance or mandate for standard approaches to layout. In a way, tha's good because you have a variety of philosophies to choose from.
The message is that you can't take what you learned here and assume that all the templates work this way. I answered your question by turning on the Layout View and looking at the Inspectors to see what controls had been used.

Usually rebooting clears it so you can empty the trash, otherwise:

How can I empty the Junk mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

How can I empty the Junk Mail folder in Yahoo without opening the messages?

You can swipe across them on the left and delete them unread. Unfortunately there is no 'delete all' option in mail.
Or you can just ignore them on your iPad and empty the junk folder when/if you access your mail online.

How can I empty my sandbox on my ipad air for several apps?

how can I empty my sandbox on my ipad air for several apps?

I'm not sure what you mean by "sandbox". I presume you're talking about getting extra room on your "hard drive" (it's not a hard drive, but a flash drive, I suppose ... ).
If so, then just go to Settings --> General --> Usage ... and you have three sections on that page ... "Battery", "Storage", "iCloud" ... look at the second section where it says "Storage" and go to "Manage Storage" ... and you can start deleting apps that you're not using or are too big for your available space.
Later on (soon), you'll be able to clear off some photos from your flash drive on your iPad and that will help clear off some space, but that's not up and running just yet. It's the "iCloud Photo Storage" service that Apple has announced. It will be coming very soon.

How can I zero out the memory on my macbook air?

I have an 11 inch mid 2011 macbook air and cannot figure out how to erase the memory so that none of the data is recoverable. I booted from the recovery HD but when I went to the erase section of the menu, the security options button and the zero out empty space option were both greyed out. How can I clean off my Mac?

You can't, and don't need to, zero an SSD in Disk Utility. Once you've erased it the data is unrecoverable.

How can I reset my main user from my guest user when I forgot my password for the main user? Please help me!!!

Ok. I know I'm really stupid!
I forgot my main user password and so then allowed someone on my laptop who accidently changed over into the guest user! Now I can't get back into my main user and I was wondering if anybody could either help me reset the password from the guest user or even reboot my laptop so the memory is wiped and I can set up my main user again. Please help me!!!

How can I trap Out- of-Memory data with no crash after Crop Tool fails to finish?

The Photoshop 6 beta program froze while using the crop tool on an image size of 8052x5368. I tried to save a file in another program while waiting for the crop to finish (usually about 1 second) and got an out-of-memory error. I checked the D: driv where the file in the other program was saved. I have a flash C: drive and is not selected in the scratch disk preference. Two scratch disks, E: and G:, are selected with a total of about 800GB free space. After closing PS6Beta, the D: drive recovered about 164GB. The D: drive is not selected in the Scratch Disk list. I work with larger files and anticipate this problem again.How can I trap information for Adobe next time?
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0 (13.0 20120305.m.415 2012/03/05:21:00:00) x32
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:14, Stepping:5 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, HyperThreading

Built-in memory: 16375 MB
Free memory: 13523 MB
Memory available to Photoshop: 3255 MB
Memory used by Photoshop: 60 %
Image tile size: 128K

The problem remains for how the c: and d: drives were not selected in the scratch disk list. I tried again with only E: and G: drives and the file completed after 20 minutes with a 27.7G file. It would have been an ovious problem if the "info" diaglog box included the projected file size and/or dimensional units (px or in) because I use the dialog for verifying the size of the image. I wanted to make a 300 x400px image rather than a 300x400inch image( 90000x120000px).
Thanks for your quick help.

How can I hide the main front panel when I run from the executable?

Hopefully this is an easy question. I have an application where the front panel is not the main GUI and I would like to hide it when the program runs, but only when it runs from the executable. How can I do this?

NIquist wrote:
Yeah, don't do that. Executables built in LV require at least one front panel to be open. If it isn't, the run-time engine automatically closes the executable. I haven't checked recently, but I assume this is still the case.
Instead, you can set the FP state to minimized (as suggested earlier) or (better) to hidden.
P.S. one side point - the property and invoke nodes have a shortcut - if you use the Application or VI classes and don't connect a reference, they default to the current app or VI. That means you don't have to open the reference.
Try to take over the world!
