How do I determine what is using the most memory.

The hard disk memory is filling up and I was wondering what is the best way to determine what is using the most memory. Is there a way to show a graph of how the memory is used. Like on my ipod. When I am checking the memory, it will show how much is music, and how much is applications and so on.
Also, I seemed to have lost the "all movies" in the list to the left when the hard disk is opened. It still shows the all imagess, and all documents but the all movies is gone.
Thank you for any help
Marco

Try Grand Perspective or OmniDiskSweeper - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Just for future reference space on a hard drive is called, "storage," not "memory." Memory refers to the installed RAM in your computer.
Open Finder Preferences from its Finder menu. Click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar. Check the box for your missing item.

How do I determine what is using the data on my iphone 5c?

In looking at our bill we have one person that is using almost triple the amount of data that the other users are, and we need to figure out exactly what it is that is eating all of the data on his phone as he doesn't have any clue what it could be. Any help to determine what is using the data on an iphone 5c?

emilyki, look no further. We can help you look into this data usage issue. First of all, we recommend that you disable data for a few applications on that iPhone 5C device to ensure that the applications are not depleting data from your allowance when not in use. You can do this by tapping Settings>Cellular>Scroll down to all the downloaded applications and disable data for applications.
Additionally, you also have the option of disabling data in Settings>Cellular when you're not using data or connected to Wi-Fi.
Lastly, you may view the data usage sessions for that line online at My Verizon to determine when data is used the most. http://bit.ly/xB4iTc Keep us posted.

How can I determine what dns server the wifi client use within airport

How can I determine what dns server the wifi client use within airport
I want to use dns servers other then the one that airport extreme is using. For example I got the 172.16.1.1 (the default gateway - airport extreme), but I want to use the office dns servers, that are in a 10.x.x.x range.
Is there a possibility?
Thanks and happy eastern

The Airport Extreme uses the DNS servers assigned by the network that it connects to. Is you Airport Extreme on the 10.x.x.x network? if it is then you are already using the 10.x.x.x DNS servers. Check your Airport Extreme with the Airport Utility and you will see in the Internet tab, the DNS servers used. The devices connecting to the Airport Extreme are assigned a DNS address of the Airport Extremes IP, In your case 172.16.1.1 but all DNS searches and resolution are done with the DNS servers you see in the Airport Extreme.
If you want to use some other DNS then you can override in the Airport Extreme which will be used by all devices connecting too the Airport Extreme, Or you can edit the DNS address in each devices wireless settings.

HT1454 I have a speaker with I phone 30 pin dock, it use to work fine but i am not getting error saying accessory not supported,how i can determine what could be the problem

I have a speaker with I phone 30 pin dock, it use to work fine but i am not getting error saying accessory not supported,how i can determine what could be the problem
i am getting the same error with my rf transmitter that i use in my car

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Did this start happening after an iOS update? Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility.
Sometimes this works:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Upgraded to IO6, seems like the amount of system memory to run is higher, this causes issues with some Apps. I can't get SIRI to work because the amount of free system memory is not enough. how can I tell what is eating the system memory?

Phone AppleCare and order replacement original disks, or if the computer shipped with 10.6.2 or earlier and you don't need the iLife applications, buy a Mac OS X 10.6.3 DVD from the online Apple Store.

How can I determine what is using my broadband?

I have limited broadband (not uncapped) but something is chewing up my available data at an alarming rate. How can I determine what it is and how to stop it?

You should be able to click on the one item, and then
select Info, to see what else is involved w/ this kernel.
And check the Console utility, to see what (among so
many) specific items may relate to the use of internet.
Items by Time & Date narrow the field somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

How to find out what is using the native heap of a process running a JVM?

Hello,
I am not sure where to post this question so I am starting here.
I am troubleshooting a Java application using some native calls (32 bits Java running on Solaris 10). The size of the process (as reported by prstat) is slowly increasing day after day.
The size of the 'Java heap' is fixed at the start (-Xms and -Xmx are set to the same value on the command line when launching the Java app) and the GC is workling fine. No memory complaints from the Java side of the application.
It is the size of the 'native' heap (as reported by 'pmap') that is increasing:
root@mas01 # pmap 5382
5382:/apps/java/bin/java -server -Xms207M -Xmx207M -XX:MaxNewSize=24M -XX:N
00010000 64K r-x-- /apps/jdk1.5.0_19/bin/java
0002E000 16K rwx-- /apps/jdk1.5.0_19/bin/java
00032000 3896K rwx-- [ heap ]
00400000 389120K rwx-- [ heap ]
18000000 2784K rwx-- [ heap ]
DCAF4000 48K rw--R [ stack tid=169 ]
DCBF6000 40K rw--R [ stack tid=161 ]
DCCF8000 32K rw--R [ stack tid=160 ]
My first reaction was to search for a memory leak. Found a minor leak in the JVM with the ::findleak function (called within the mdb debugger). Upgraded to a later release of Java 5 (Java 1.5.0_19) where the leak is fixed but the heap is still increasing.
Many parts of the process allocate memory in the native heap. The JVM itself, the native calls made to a C++ library part of our Java application and maybe also some 3rd party software.
I would like to know what is the best way to find out what is consuming more and more memory in the native heap. I started looking a DTraces but I am new to this. I also thought maybe the Solaris Perftools might be of use but I never used them. Before plunging into a tool more or less blindly, I am asking for advices on how to tackle this issue. Can someone recommend a tool/method to see what is allocated in the heap?
Regards,
Stéphan
Edited by: StephanDupont on Sep 22, 2009 8:47 AM

After googling a lot I managed to run my application with libumem, generated a core file and succeeded to find some leak with mdb even if ::findleak reported nothing.
Does anyone knows if the ::findleak (you need libumem and mdb) is supposed to find leak in the native part of the memory and a Java application using the JNI interface?
Regards,
Stéphan

How do you determine what version of the Darwin Kernel, iOS 4.3.3 uses in iPod Touch?

I tried looking this up in "Settings" > "General" > "About" but it doesn't give me this information.
Someone told me that he has Darwin Kernel 11.0.0 for his iPod Touch running iOS 4.3.3, but his iPod Touch is jailbroken. My iPod Touch isn't jailbroken, and I want to know what version of Darwin Kernel it is running. On Wikipedia, someone documented that the Darwin Kernel 11 begins with iOS 5--for a jailbroken iOS 5 device. I find this odd if my buddy has Darwin Kernel 11.0.0 for his device running iOS 4.3.3. Well, as all intelligent people know, we can't trust Wikipedia completely.

How to i determine what a 10.10.00 memory error means on a laserjet 3600

Printer: HP 3600n
Error message: 10.10.00 memory error
What is this error and what can be done to resolve it.

The minimum point in time is the time when the last backup piece for datafiles in that backup was completed.
Your alert.log should show the redo log sequence number at that time.
You can query V$ARCHIVED_LOG and get the FIRST_CHANGE# of the first archivedlog generated after that backup piece completed.
A
LIST BACKUP;in RMAN should also show you the SCNs at the time of the backups.
You can also query SCN_TO_TIMESTAMP -- eg
select timestamp_to_scn(to_timestamp('15-MAR-09 09:24:01','DD-MON-RR HH24:MI:SS')) from dual;will return an approximation of the SCN.

How to determine what's using data store temp space?

How can one determine what's using data store temp space? We are interested to know what structures are occupying space in temp space and if possible what pid/process connected to TimesTen created them.
Also, is there a procedure that will work if temp space is full?
Recently one of our data stores ran of space. We we're unable to run commands like "monitor", "select * from monitor", "select count(*) from my_application_table", etc. These commands failed because they required temp space to run and temp space was full. We killed the application processes, this in turned freed up temp space, then we were able to run these queries.
Ideally, we'd like to have a procedure to figure out what's using temp space when temp space is full.
The other thing we could do is periodically monitor temp space prior to it filling to determine what's using temp space.

That was my original thought, but once you click the slider track or thumb, and then enter a value in the text control, the clickTarget on the change event envoked by the change to the bound data (after entering a value in the text control) will be whatever slider element had last been clicked. If you've never clicked the slider, clickTarget=null. But once you've clicked the slider the clickTarget always has a value of "thumb" or "track", regardless of what triggered the change event.

When I upgraded from v4 to v5 my bookmarks was lost. I do have the one that is in the firefox toolbar. Apparently I had a bookmarks add-on. V5 changed my browser how can I determine what the program was and if the bookmarks are still there?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

How can I determine what is the minimum SCN number I need to restore up to.

Say if I have a full database backup, I know I have file inconsistency, but I want to know what is the minimum time or SCN number a need to roll forward to in order to be able to open the database?
For example: I do a database restore.
restore database ;
RMAN> sql 'alter database open read only';
sql statement: alter database open read only
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============

ORA-16004: backup database requires recovery
ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u01/oradata/p1/system01.dbf'
I need need to apply archive log files. All references I find for ORA-00194 state the solution is to "apply more logs until the file is consistent " But "HOW MANY LOGS", or more apporaite up to what time or SCN? How does one determine what TIME or SCN is required to get all file consistent?
I thought this query might provide the answer, but it doesn't
select max(checkpoint_change#)
from v$datafile_header
MAX(CHECKPOINT_CHANGE#)
7985876903
--It applies a bit more redo, but not enough to make my datafiles consistent.

I've discover I need to apply archive logs until this query reports all datafiles as FUZZY=NO , but this only works by guessing at some time periord to roll forward to, then checking the FUZZY column, and try again. Is there a way to know, I have to roll forward to a specific SNC in order for all my datafiles to be consistent?
select file#
     , status
     , checkpoint_change#
     , checkpoint_time
     , FUZZY

order by checkpoint_time
