How To Check and Maximize Memory?

New Mac user here with a new Macbook.
Got the 80gb model and have 55gb's free. I recently downloaded a few things but didnt end up using them. such as applications, programs, etc. I simply dragged them to the trash can and hoped i would receive more memory. sometimes it works, other times not.
where can i check my memory and free up space by deleting some things i just dont need?
Any and all information would be useful. Thanks

I should re-specify that it is a two-finger tap on the tackpad, not two fingers on the trackpad and click the mouse button. Hold two fingers up, and tap the same two on the trackpad - that will give you the equivalent of a "right click."
To uninstall programs in OS X is VERY simple, you simply open your HD, go to Applications, find the installed application that you want to removes icon and drag it to the trash bin. It autmatically uninstalls very quickly. Nice huh?

  • [C Programming Language] How to check if the memory location speci ...

    How do I check if the memory location specified in the pointer is freed and available or not? in C.

    Barrucadu wrote:
    Furthermore, you can't check if a pointer has been freed or not, as the value of the pointer is unchanged. I find it's often useful to have a "checked free" macro like this:
    #define xfree(ptr) if(ptr != NULL) { free(ptr); ptr = NULL; }
    Now you're safe from accidental double-frees (although, their presence indicates something is wrong with your logic somewhere, even if they're harmless) and you can easily see if a pointer has been freed (which, again, should really not be in doubt, but it's nice to be sure).
    free does nothing if the pointer is already NULL, so the if statement is pointless.  Use this:
    #define xfree(ptr) do { free(ptr); ptr = NULL; } while (0);

  • How to check and change the dafault session timeout of the Portal?

    Hello,
    When leaving a portal page open without using it for a certain amount of time and then accessing it again the Session times-out.
    Where can I check and change this default time-out time in case I would like to extand it for the end users?
    Roy

    Hi Roy,
    Session timeout includes multiple settings (J2EE setting and SSO setting at User Management).
    Defining the Timeout in J2EE Session
           1.      Open file web.xml (path depends on the version of EP6.0. If it is based on NW04, then
    ..\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF
           2.      Enter a value in minutes under <session-timeout>. The value should roughly correspond to the length of a synchronization cycle. The default is 30 minutes.
    After a successful login, it receives a SSO ticket which is valid for longer duration (generally 8 hrs, default which you can changed using  "System Admin" as mentioned by Yoel.

  • How to check and maintain authorization objects

    Hi  Alll            
    Let me knowhow to check and maintain authorization objects  in SU24 ECC 6.0.
    Thanks
    sathies

    Hi Sathies,
    the old check flags
    U
    Unmaintained
    No indicator set. The check for corresponding authorization object is always executed. Field values are not displayed in the Profile Generator.
    N
    No check
    Check disabled. Field values are not displayed in the Profile Generator. This indicator cannot be set for HR and Basis authorization objects.
    C
    Check
    Check always executed. Field values are not displayed in the Profile Generator. For example: Printer authorizations.
    CM
    Check/maintain
    Check always executed. Field values are displayed for changing in the Profile Generator (yellow light).
    Have been divided now in
    Checkindicator : Check/NoCheck
    and
    Proposal: Yes/No.
    If defaults=yes, then you can modify them after clicking on the apropriate button.
    Please refer to the online help for SU24 too.
    Although the look of su24 has been changed significantly, the technique behind it is still the same.
    Once you have pressed the 'edit'-button on the top left corner, additional editing options will appear in the right-top-frame.

  • Full memory control: how to read and write memory on any address?

    I am programming in Visual Basic Express a long time, and now i want something more. I need to read and write bytes in memory on any possible address, and also to get a handle or first byte's addres of any declared object(Integer, String, Bitmap, ...) and
    to declare an object to some memory addres. Does anybody know some API function (function that copies blocks of memory from one to another place and gives an address of an object) or any other way to do this, and if knows please write an example code that
    CAN be used and it's VALID in Visual Basic 2010 Express or Visual Studio 2013 Express or similar .net basic tools.
    Thanks

    Hello Donaastor,
    the OS might prevent you from writing/reading to "any possible address" because you could read others memory which is not allowed. You will get a security Exception :)
    But of course you can read/write every part of "your" memory. Than you should use Joel's answer.

  • How to check the Memory consumtions and time taken by a Java Program??

    HI all,
    I want to know how to check for the Memory Usage of an XML Parser.
    See, a product was developed completely in DOM parser and now I am replacing that thing with SAX Parser Completely, because the DOM parser was taking huge memory as u may have guessed.
    BUt the thig is that, now I want to check how much memory is being taken by the SAX parser alone and DOM parser alone so that I can compare them.
    Can anyone suggest me how to do that ???
    Thanx in Advance
    Kaushik

    Thanx boss ..thanx a lot
    I tried that, but in the API docs, it is mentioned that freeMemory()Returns the amount of free memory "in the system"
    and totalMemory() Returns the total amount of memory in the "Java Virtual Machine".
    So if I compare both the Values then would it give the Correct result to me ???? Beacuse the freeMemory() gives the data in terms of the Host System whereas totalMemory() provides the data in terms of Java Virtual Machine ..... are they Same ?????
    I think I am clear in explaining what exactly is going on my mind ...
    Please clarify
    Thanx again

  • How much secure and how to be safe in ios 8.2

    Hi,
    I am using ipad air 2 through cellular data for use but when I used wifi it works fine but after some time I am not able to connect with wifi and after a long time when it connects it slows down full ipad. One day I got message when i connect wifi one screen came to accept or decline, I thought its from my internet vender.
    confused .. please tell me how to check and remove and unwanted and vulnerable content, any apple application which checks these unwanted files.
    Thanks Raghubir

    Are you using a public wifi ....many have boxes that come up & require the user to accept the terms before signing in.  They can also be much slower depending on the amount of traffic on their network.  If you are using Safari, and are getting pop-up windows, close Safari (double tap the home button & swipe up the window)
    Then open Settings->Safari->Clear History & Website Data.
    Hope this helps!
