How much memory to run Logic 9 smoothly

Hi all
I'm the happy owner of a new iMac 21,5" since yesterday. Brilliant machine.
It comes with 4GB of memory DDR3. Snow Leopard is the OS.
I will be using it mainly to produce music, using Logic Studio 9.
Is there any point on upgrading the memory to 8 Gigs, will that help managing big projects, or is it a waste of money?
Thanks in advance

I agree, I think that 4 gig should be enough to run Logic smoothly.
Here's my question though... if you've already ordered it with 4 gig, is it even possible to upgrade it later to 8 gig? I'm sure it is possible but is feasible for the average Joe to tear apart their iMac and add additional RAM. Is it easy to get to on these new guys or would you have to send it in to Apple?

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.

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!

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 much memory can I install in my mac book pro?

Mac book pro 2.4 GHz late 2011 i7....How much memory can I install? Currently have 4Gb but want to run Win 7 on VMware and want to make sure my user has enough

The position of Apple is that the Late 2011 can take 8 GB, however, OWC, http://www.macsales.com and Crucial, http://www.crucial.com both guarantee their 16 GB ram packages to work. Both are sellers of high quality ram that is guaranteed to work in Macs.

How much memory/space are Mac Apps Taking?

I know this is probably a very simple question for you experts but as a newbie, I dont know how to figure it out. Im trying to find out how much hard drive space (and maybe memory?) the apps I have downloaded from the Mac App Store are taking up? Where would I find this? Ive looked in the Finder but couldnt find what I was looking for? Does the Activity Moniitor or something else break it down to just the Mac Apps?
Also do you know if Time Machine saves your organizational Launchpad Folders when you back up your machine? Just was curious if you had to switch macs or something, if the folders would all come back up or if its best to keep a list of what apps you have in what folders.
I also was wondering if anyone else has had a problem of your Launchpad Folders and individual apps within folders getting out of order when you have to restart your system. Since I dont yet have an iphone and apps were new to me, I got a little crazy in downloading a bunch of free apps and games (many of which I think Im going to start deleting because I dont really use them)...but Ive organized them in all in alphabetical order - Ive got folders in Alphabetical Order as well as the apps within folders in alphabetical order. Its strange becuase whenever my system gets restarted, several of the folders and apps get mixed up. Ive been working with Apple techs on this for weeks but just curious if anyone else has had a similar problem. The tech told me most people dont keep it as well organized as I do.
Thanks.

To find out how much hard drive space (or how large the App is), Right-Click on the App in your Applications folder and choose Get Info. This will show you xx MBs on Disk (hard drive). To see how much memory the App is using, check Activity Monitor while the App is running. It will be on the list of all processes running.
But you can also click the  (apple) in the upper left hand corner of the screen and select about this mac>more infor>storage

I have an iMac OS X Version 10.5.8 but I also have a MacBookPro 10.7.5 version, why software updates are not the same? For example, when I want to know how much memory can not store in the same way in either computer.

I have an iMac OS X Version 10.5.8 but I also have a MacBookPro 10.7.5 version, why software updates are not the same? For example, the way to see how much memory I have in my iMac is diferent than MacBookPro. And where I can see the memory of the disc I've got in my iMac? Than you very much.

If you want everything the same on both computers you need to be running the same OS X version. You can't because your iMac is a PPC machine, not Intel.
But to see information about your hard drive is the same for both. Simply select the drive icon on the Desktop. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Disk information is in the upper panel.

How much memory do I have left?

Just wondering how I go about checking how much memory I have left on my comp. I have tiger!
thanks

Shouldn't it show up when I search for it in spotlight?
Yes it should... though I don't trust Spotlight myself, I do believe you're not seeing it.
Just double checking, as there can be more than one Application folder... Is this the Applications folder you see when you double click n the Desktop Icon for your HDD?
Are you an Admin User?
If it's missing, Get Pacifist...

XI Playground - how much memory

Hello all,
beside i read all the sizing stuff,
my question is: How much memory does a Testcomputer need to have a nice System to Develop some Scenarios.
My first xi had 1,5 GB and that was a bit too less:-).
Actually a 640 Abap+J2ee Add in in my opinion for testing purposes should run nice with 2 Gbs...

Hi Felix,
2 GB should be enough for the beginning, but keep also in mind that the J2EE needs at least 1024 MB for running properly. Recommended Java Heap Size for XI is 1280 MB.

Lightroom and CS3 Simultaneously - How much memory?

I've been trying to use Lightroom's image management features, but need to finish the "keepers" in CS3. The problem is my computer only has 2G of RAM, and both Lightroom and CS3 are giant memory hogs. Has anyone been able to successfully run both programs at the same time (with reasonably complicated PS files consisting of a dozen layers or so) ?
If so, how much memory does it take? 4G 8G?
Thanks,
--Michael

The wording of your question seems to suggest that your setup has issues with running Lr and Ps simultaneously. Disk thrashing? Memory swapping? Slow performance? What is your machine configuration?
I have an Intel Dual 2 Core machine with 2Gb RAM and routinely run Lr (on Canon 20D raw files), Ps CS3 beta, Bridge, email client, and Firefox web client all at the same time with little issue.
And have you consulted Adobe's knowledge base for performance tips?

How much memory do lyrics take up on ur ipod?

hi everyone.
well the heading says it.. how much memory do lyrics take up?coz i was reading this article and it explained how to put lyrics into ur ipod.but i mean its like pictures i guess so it should have memory but how much?? just wondering and thanks in advance

Lyrics are just text files, so I doubt they take up much space. I have both lyrics and album covers on mine, and no storage problem. In fact, I've also got the full text files of "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" on mine. Sherlock only took about 500k for the WHOLE BOOK.
So don't worry about running out of space for lyrics...

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.
