How much memory do I need? 16gb or 32gb?

If I will be using my iPad primarily for iBooks (a couple hundred ibooks) and iWork documents (maybe 100 different documents), how much memory will I need?
Right now, I have about 7gb worth of music, photos, and apps on my iPhone.
Also, if I subscribe to video podcasts, will that take a lot of memory as well?
Can I get by with a 16gb?

KC eh? I live near the area :P anyway, I would recommend 16GB. I'm debating as well but I'm going to get the 32GB version as I plan to watch movies/TV shows on mine. They do take up some space. I've been getting by on my iPhone 3G which has 8GB but now I wish I had more... I think this would be the case for me and the iPad as well so I'm getting 32GB.
As for you if you're not planning on watching movies or tv shows (not using Netflix) then I suggest 16GB.
The iPhone OS uses a little less than 2GB so you'll havel ike 14GB to play with.
but if you can spare the extra $100 I'd get 32GB.

How much memory do I need for iPhone?

Before I purchase an iPhone 4s I would like to know how much memory I might need. I will have some songs though currently I use only about 2GB on old iPod. I will no doubt have some pictures and perhaps a video and, of course, some apps though I really don't know how many. I tentatively planned to buy 16GB. My daughter is shooting for 32GB. Suggestions and guidelines? Thanks

Hi, from what you have said above, the 16GB iPhone 4S seemsmore than enough space for a user with the outlined above, bearing in mind youdo not necessarily get 16GB, as there is the operating system and otherprogrammes that use memory, for example I have a 64GB iPhone 4S and it comeswith 57.42 GB or storage.
If you purchase a 16GB and you do seem to be running out ofspace, you can always back up your data to a computer and it can be deletedfrom your phone - meaning you have more space. If you are worried about havingthis problem 32GB will probably be the best option and will be more thanenough.
Hope this helps, any further questions feel free to ask, andI will try to answer them.

Imaq 3.0 Driver, How much memory do I need to run Snap.vi?

(1) When I am using ROI in the Snap.vi, the array should be in order of Left, Bottom, Right and Top to work it right, which is different from what Help says, that is, Left, Top, Right and Bottom. Which one is right?
(2) How much memory do I need to run the Snap.vi? 3.0 Driver seems to need more memory than 2.5.1 Driver did. I have 255 MB RAM on my computer, but in reality, the memory usage is used over 255 MB to capture 640*480 picture.
Could you give me a comment about this memory issue?

Hello GraceSun.
(1). The help menu is correct, the array should be Left, Top, Right, and Bottom for the ROI input.
(2). I am not sure exactly what behavior you are seeing with the memory problems in 3.0. You should be able to run an image snap no problem, the memory useage will vary, but will be much less than the RAM on your computer. Be sure that you are not running an IMAQ Create.vi inside of a loop.
Try running the example VI called HL Snap.vi, which can be found by going to Help&#187Find Examples. . . and browsing by directory structure. This VI should not be taking up too much RAM on your computer.
Hope this helps!

How much memory do you need for itunes?

I can't run itunes,quicktime or upgrade anything on my mac mini has osx 10.4 it says I need 10.5 to download it has 256mb of mem do I have enough memory?

I would at least upgrade to 2GB RAM, if not 4
10.5 is not oficially sold but i'm sure if you call an Apple store or dealer you can snag a copy, you can find them online but usually pretty expensive. Below are the requirements for Leopard (10.5)
A Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or Power PC G4 (867 MHz or faster) processor
512 MB memory or more
A DVD drive for installation
9 GB of available disk space or more
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider, fees may apply.
Some features require Apple's MobileMe service; fees apply.

I am debating how much memory I need to get on my Ipad? Any thoughts

I am interested in getting an Ipad2 but do not know if I need 16gb or 32gb memory? Any thoughts? I would probably have 20 to 30 apps running on the Ipad2.

He was asking a very relevant question, many of us ask when purchasing an ipad.
Your answer is irrelevant and wrong. The question was how much memory do I need for my ipad? not how much ram or is it future proof through upgrade. What you term as storage is flash 'memory' and the other, DDR is indeed RAM. The difference with this application being one is volatile & the other is not. Its obvious he is talking about flash memory so why post for the sake of it?
I used to own ipad 1 64GB/3G device (bad WIFI experience & returned the device). However I initially used it for web browsing, watching catchup TV, books & some apps. As I have other devices for music and films I really didn't benefit from the additional expense.
HD films typically consume ~2GB, single 128 bit song of ~4mins is about 4MB, most books do not comsume a great deal of space. Given films have the greatest impact it largely depends how many films you wish to carry around. Given they can be swapped in/out very easily with itunes its not a big deal. Additionally there are many tools that permit you to lower the film quality to reduce the file size.
Having some idea of file sizes and how many of each media type you wish to carry around you can extrapolate the most suitable memory density for you.
Good luck with whichever model you select.

How much memory should be kept free in a 16gb iphone4s

Dear All,
how much memory should be kept free in a 16gb iphone4s? Or needn't worry about it at all?

How should we know? It depends on how much memory you will need in the future and how many apps, songs, photos you desire to keep on your iPhone.

How much memory is needed on an external hard drive to back up my Pavilion HP

How much memory do I need to back up my pavilion HP laptop?

Hi, How long is a piece of string ? I don't know, depending on what do you have on your computer and what do you want to backup. External HDD's are very cheap now, you can buy a 2TB portable USB 3.0 (no power brick, using USB port) for around $100. You can make few backups with it. Regards.

How much memory (in buffers) is needed for a simple webservice's call?

Dear expert,
I'm doing a research work about analysing the main memory usage in SAP ERP systems.
I would like to find out the space that a simple webservice's call occupies in the buffers, but there is always something occupying the buffers. I know that my call to get the values occupies memory, that's why I use a webservice to get them (to avoid the SAPGUI), I call first $SYNC and I use a BAPI similar to the transaction ST02.
So could someone help me to find out the way to mesure the memory used by a single webservice's call (it's a very simple, just to create a material)? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that. Will try.

Subject: How much memory (RAM) is needed for Elements 9 to automatically fill in the edges when using photome
The key to successful use of edge fill is to ensure that you've got all the memory allocated to PSE that you can and that the file that results after you merge the panoramic is not too big. When PSE 9 first came out about a year ago, I fooled around with file sizes and I think that on my particular computer the merged file had to be no larger than 20 megs for edge fill to work. I did a quick search through this forum's history but I couldn't find my posts. Maybe somebody else can find them.

I want to find out how much memory is left on my macbook pro. I need to know steps to find this out.

I had a problem today as my computer would not save a file for me. A box stated macintosh HD was full and I would need to clear some files to make room. I realized that although I had deleted emails from mac mail, gmail had not deleted these and all still remained on my macbook pro. I went to gmail and finally deleted all the emails, and there were thousands. I have been able to save a file as of now but want to know how much memory exists on my macbook pro. It is confusing when I go to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of my laptop as that states my computer has 4gb of memory, two in each slot. It does not tell me how much as been used. Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated. M.

The bottom of a Finder window will show you how much HD space you have left.

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.
Ciao.

My mac is runnug out of disk space. Do /i need to by external drives? how much memory should i get

My imac is running out of disk space. I download a lot of media from itunes. The HD movies and TV shows use so much space. Should I switch to the cloud, clean up my memory or buy an external memory drive? If i get an external drive how much memory is suggesyed? 1TB, 2TB or more?

Buy an external hard drive on which to save your media. The drive should be large enough to handle your entire iTunes Library plus how much you would anticipate adding to the library over the next few years. Then backup your existing library to the external drive: iTunes- Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
After you have backed up the library to the external drive you can configure iTunes to use the library on the external drive in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced. Change the path to the external drive. Once you do that quit and relaunch iTunes. It should now be using the library on the external drive. Now you can delete the library on the internal hard drive to free up the space.

How can I check how much memory is on my external hard drive after I plug it in. What are the steps I need to go through?

Im looking for a specific how to on checking how much memory I have left on and external HD. Any help would be wonderful.
V/R
Chris

If you're on your Mac OS, click on the little Apple sign in the top left corner of the screen and select About This Mac. Then, if you have your external HD plugged in, go to Storage, and there you should see all HDs (internal and external, USBs, etc) space and how much you have left on them. On a Windows OS, just go to My Computer to see.

I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to be able to use iCloud, but need Lion which is too big. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to Lion, in order to use iCloud, but the specs indicate I don't have enough memory. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

I believe your model iMac can address 3 GB RAM; the minimum for Lion is 2 GB - however, that is an absolute minimum for very light use. You would be much happier with a minimum of 4 GB.
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-2.16-20-inch-sp ecs.html
(You can install 4 GB, but it will only be able to address about 3.1 - 3.2 GB)

Buying a new iMac... how much power do I need to run GarageBand well?

Hi All
I am about to get a 27" iMac but am weighing up the options for the processor and memory (and maybe hard drive too). Neither my wife nor I are into gaming or high end graphics stuff, so we do not need an i7 with 16GB ram... but is the bassline 27" iMac powerful enough to run GarageBand with no problems?
I have not really used it much before as our laptop is about 6 years old and it really struggles running GB, hence I have not been keen. However as I am a musician and am about to get a new computer... I am keen to find out just how much power I'll need.
At this stage, I want to play around with GB and dop some aranging, not sure how many tracks this will end up equating to as my experience grows... but unless I really get into it, I am unlikely to progress to Logic or similar... but if I did, would I need more than the baseline?
So in short... do you guys think the 27" iMac i3 with 4GB RAM will cut it for someone who is getting started but wants to spend a reasonable amount of time in GB? Why/why not?
Thanks

In order to fully understand what you just said to me... I had better find out what an 'Addictive Drum AU' is. I am quite teh newbie when it comes to digitally recording, either from a real instrument or a virtual one.
I am assuming that the Addictive Drum is fairly intense when it comes to the CPU? Are there many other virtual instruments that are hard on the CPU? For an average user I am assuming this will not pop up to often, correct?
Garageband is not a 'closed system' in that you are stuck with what it offers. You have the option to use 3rd party software to enhance your productions. AU stands for Audio Unit, a coding standard around which many 3rd party developers use to integrate with Mac products. As you develop your own habits and tastes with your productions, you might decide that the options GB offers you are not to your liking. This is where these sorts of products come in. They are very easy to use with GB. Addictive Drums is a Drum program that is actually lightweight on your system compared to others. The only reason I had 8 instances (one loaded on 8 individual MIDI tracks) was because of a limitation GB has. It suited my workflow to do it this way.
There is a huge range of AU's available, Native Instruments being a company that does a very good set of products. Some are indeed very CPU intensive, others are not. You have to do your research by asking questions on various forums and seeking reviews etc.
The term 'Average User' really means nothing in my honest opinion. Depending on your preferred genre of music and how you go about hooking into this slippery slope of hobby home recording, you may bump into a variety of limitations either in GB itself or limitations because of your machine. Because RAM is easily replaced by the owner and hard drives are easily obtained for extra storage, CPU is the thing your are stuck with from day one. Programs are getting bigger and they are relying on lots of number crunching. Amp simulations are a good example of CPU intensive software. It is easy to find yourself spending $60 here and $99 there on all sorts of cool Software, and before you know it you have quite the quiver full. I am not a heavy GB user, in that I don't run 30+ tracks on my projects. I am a 12-16 track average user most of the time. However, the reason I upgraded to my iMac recently was because I had one piano AU, yes just one, that stopped my 2 year old macbook in its tracks when using another recording program. I had all the RAM that GB could use, an excellent hard drive and a very good sound card, but the computers lack of grunt made working with it tedious and sometimes frustrating. You more than likely have a budget to work with when getting your machine. The advice I would give any personal friend who was getting their first computer for recording is to get the most CPU you can for your budget. You could be staring at this machine for the next 4-6 years. Typically RAM and hard drives get cheaper over time should you need them, relatively small prices to pay in the long run.

How much memory for the G5 2.7?

I am buying a refurbished G5 2.7 from Apple.
The primary application will be Pro Tools HD2 for audio mixing.
QUESTIONS:
(1) How much memory will I likely need? 2GB? 4GB?
(2) I will buy the memory from Crucial. Should I remove the original memory and use only the Crucial 1GB pairs, so they are matched?
Powermac G5 2.7 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

No need to remove the original RAM.
How much to install depends on how you'll be using ProTools. If it's only audio (no sample players), 2GB would probably work perfectly. If you're using samplers heavily, with lots of large samples, you might want to go to 5-6GB.
I'd start with 4GB, RAM for these is cheap (compared to RAM for the Mac Pro.)

How much memory do I need? 16gb or 32gb?
