How do I see how much memory is being used in 10.6.8

I keep getting an error message that tells me I do not have enough memory.  And all of a sudden most of my disk space is gone. It went from having hundreds of free space to 90. gb.  I don't know how to check which programs are using all the memory and I have no big files down loaded.  I have an older imac, but it has always served my needs.  I have thrown away photos, (extras) Dumped some music, but It just does not help.  I have also restarted and repaired disk permissions. I can't afford a new computer right now.  HE

    I have IMac OSX 10.9.4, 4GB,Processor 3.06 with Intell2Duo. I would like to check for Malware. I run a TechTool Pro 6 every month and that comes up great.
    When check how much memory I am using, with only Safari open I am using 3.9 and more of her 4.0 memory. She is very. very slow in processing. I had 4000
    trash to clean out and it took her over an hour to expel. Also for some reason Safari will not allow me to click on a link, in my G-mail, and let it go to the page.
    It has a sign saying a pop-up blocker is on and will not let me do it. I must open the stamp to look at my e-mails and if I have redirected link now I can do it.
    I have not changed my preferences so where is this pop-up blocker?
    I have looked at preferences on Safari and Google, which I do not understand Google, and do not see where this blocker could be.
    Malware is something I want to make sure is not on my computer. Tech Tool Pro 6 is all I know of and it does not detect Malware.
    Help.

  • When I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    when I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

  • When it says your capacity is 6.43 GB does that mean how much memory you have used up or how much you have left

    when it says your capacity is 6.43 GB does that mean how much memory you have used up or how much you have left

    The 6.43 GB is how much storage that is available to you to use. The difference between 6.43 ansd 8 GB is taken up by the iOS.
    The Available entry show how much is unused.

  • How much memory do Objects use?

    I'm not sure how to ask this, but how does java manage memory usage for multiple objects? Is the memory needed for a classes methods shared amongst the objects of that class, or does each object have memory for it's methods allocated for its use alone?
    For example:
    class Foo {
       public void doSomething();
    }Let's say I have 30 instances of Foo. I can think of 2 options (but I maybe wrong)
    Case A: Each instance of Foo has it's own memory allocated for it's own copy of doSomething(), resulting in the total memory
    usage of 30 instances of Foo being about 30 times how much memory 1 Foo uses
    Case B: Each instance of Foo looks at a common copy of doSomething(), resulting in less memory needed since there is only one copy of doSomething in memory.
    If the case is A, Static methods would seem to be potentially more memory efficient. Assuming my thinking is correct(and feel free to say I'm dead wrong), would it not make sense to make as many functions as possible static?

    Executable code (initializers, methods, constructors): One copy of the bytecodes per ClassLoader that loads the class. Static/non is irrelevant.Seems to answer the question in full.
    With reference (no pun intended) to the subject.
    Instance variables (non-static member variables): One copy of the variable per instance of the class. Stored on the heap.
    Class variables (static member variables): One copy of the variable per ClassLoader that loads the class. Stored on the heap.
    Local variables, including parameters: One copy of the variable per invocation of the method.Just to complete the picture a bit (but NOT to contradict earlier comments).
    Primitive variables - as above.
    Reference variables - as above. Note that method local reference variables are stored on the stack but
    any object instances referenced by these are stored on the heap even so.

    It will use minimal internet bandwidth unless your content is streaming from web>iPad>AppleTV. 
    Local network comms for content already on the iPad (eg presentations) will not generally use internet bandwidth apart from protected iTunes material that requires brief internet authorisation.

  • HT204406 how much storage is being used at a given time?

    How much storage is being used at a given time? And how do I look at and edit/delete the files that are being stored?

    Your ISP may be able to tell you that. The computer can't.

  • There is a screen that shows how much energy is being used by an application..where do I find that screen

    There is a screen that opens on a monitor that shows how much energy is being used by an application.   Any body can tell me how do I find it.. ?
    My lap is blowing the fan continuously and I know its because a lot of energy is used by any of the applications.. I would like to be able to monitor that.

    Well, this isn't notebook community for one. For another Top is quite good and can show you a lot or stick with Activity Monitor with its GUI.
    You definitely want to install a utility to monitor temps, whether iStatPro or Temperature Monitor
    www.macupdate.com
    Energy = watts but you don't mean measuring what you are using off the wall outlet, rather the fan speed and temperature sensors.
    If you know you will be doing something to stress the system, FanControl can set profiles and instead of waiting to get hot, kick up the fan rpm to something more useful first. Works well.
    You could have software that is not well behaved. Or that you installed years ago that is not compatible with what you have now. When last you installed the OS whether it was an upgrade in place or clean install (and used Setup Assistant to import apps).

    Start up iTunes, and select Music, then click Songs.
    Down at the bottom of the iTunes window, it will tell you how much space your library occupies.

  • How do I see how much memory is being taken up by programs and how do I delete the ones I don't need.

    Is there a way I can see how much memory each program is taking up and then how do I delete the ones I don't want to use.

    Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It will show all of your files and the respective sizes.  Delete and transfer what you do not want or need on your HDD.

  • Too much memory is being used?

    hello,
    i have 256mb, but when i look at task manager, my free physical memory is just 60mb?  it used to be 120+mb
    i have fuzzylogic 4, nforce apu, modem, immersion(logitech itouch), star wars screenthemes on my taskbar.
    dont know what takes much of my memory
    and is there a software that checks memory errors?  does sisoft does that?
    thanks,
    edison
    svchost is taking a big part, 15mb, iexplore, 19mb

    noby, beaverpants,
    i uninstalled fuzzylogic and downloaded and installed speed fan...some questions though
    the informations are written like this...
    Fan01: 0 RPM                     Temp3:72C
    Fan02: 2446 RPM               Temp2:50C
    Fan03: 4441 RPM               Temp1:37C
    the fans starts from 1 - 3 but the temps starts from 3 -1, i suppose the fan 3 is my cpu fan, does that mean temp 1 is my cpu temp?
    and how does it detect fan speed, well for the cpu fan, i connected it directly to the psu, but there's this single wire connected to the mobo for fan speed detection but my case fan doesnt have the single wire, it only connects to the psu, how could speedfan detect it?
    thanks,
    edison

  • Where do I go to find out how much memory I have left?

    Where do I go to find out how much memory I have left?

    Use the Settings app.
    Settings > General > Usage
    You should see how much storage space is used on your device and how much remains. It takes a little while for the apps section to update but that area will tell you how much storage is being used by each app. Tapping on the > next to an app will provide information on how much storage the app requires and how much is being used by data and files.
