How to disable App Caching in 10.9

Hi All,
As much as I think that the new memory management system in OS X 10.9 is a very nice idea, it really doesn't work for me because I have Virtual Machines stopping and starting and the despite the fact that they are only trying to pull 512MB each, the system just can't handle pushing that much to them.
Is there a way to disable this app/file caching and get back to something more to the style of the old memory management system - I really want to have FREE memory available for when I actually need it - I really don't care if free memory is wasted memory, free memory is what works for me
I have a Mid 2009 13" MBP with a 2.2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8GB of RAM
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I can't bear my system grinding to a halt with several servers running in the background - the sort of thing that it could handle just fine under 10.8 - also, downgrading is not an option for me!

Unfortunately, no - App Nap only applies to running applications, and saving processing power and thus energy, whereas the app preloading is all about being clever about which files are in use and keeping as many as possible crammed into the memory.
However, disabling app nap is a useful thing to know, thanks!

  • How to clear app cache on itouch (3.1.3 iOS)

    can someone help with directions on how to clear app cache in 3.1.3?  btw...i don't want to reset since it will result in lost apps that no longer offer versions for 3.1.3

    All you can do is reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    For the old-app problem. Delete any newer apps from your iTunes library. Then transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    Just make sure that you do not update those apps in your iTunes library.

  • How to disable App tabs (pined tabs) from being started automatically?

    how to disable App tabs (pined tabs) from being started automatically?
    because the option [Don't load tabs until selected] dose not work with it, and it keeps starting every time when I restart Firefox.
    Please help me!

    Don't bother, I reached to the solution by my self, you can do it as following:
    Type "about:config" [ without quotation marks! ] in the Location Bar (address bar) and press Enter to display the list of preferences, as shown in the picture '''#1''' in Firefox 17 on Windows 7.
    If you see a page with the warning message as shown in picture '''#2''', This might void your warranty!, click the button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!", to continue (in fact, there is no warranty whatsoever, it's more a joke to ensure that users are aware of what they are about to do). uncheck the check-box there to avoid the warning in the future.
    Now at the search bar in the picture '''#3''' type: ''tab'' and look for the
    '''preference name:'''
    browser.sessionstore.restore_pinned_tabs_on_demand
    or you can '''copy''' it directly to the search bar,
    '''Next,''' follow the instruction in picture '''#3''' .
    Just in case if the pictures didn't appear, do ''these steps'':
    '''First:''' Right click at the preference name that we searched for.
    '''Next,''' click Toggle to change the value from false to true.
    '''Or,''' double click on it and it will change.
    '''Finally,''' restart Firefox and you will notice that they don't load automatically until you click on it.
    That's it, Good luck to all. ''';-)'''
    '''Note''': The bolded font preferences list is the user modified, and the un-bolded is the default setting.
    '''Warning''': Modifying preferences can, in rare circumstances, break Firefox, Thunderbird or the Mozilla Suite, or can cause strange behavior. Only do so if you know what you are doing or are following trustworthy advice.
    Additional INFO:
    about:config is a feature of Mozilla applications which lists application settings (known as preferences) that are read from the profile files prefs.js and user.js, and from application defaults. Many of these preferences are not present in the Options or Preferences dialog. Using about:config is one of several methods of modifying preferences and adding other "hidden" ones.

  • How to disable memory cache for SL410?

    Hi,
    My lenovo thinkpad SL410 has Windows 7 prof edition as its OS.  But in the last few months it frequently crashes.  Many times when I use Chrome browser status would indicate AppCache, and that's an evil OMEN for its usually the prelude of crash.  Other browser may or may not have such issue, however, Chrome is really my preferred web browser.
    Some research seems to suggest disabling memory cache via BIO setup would resolve it.  And here's my lenovo's BIO info:
    Version: 1.23
    Date: 2009-10-19
    but it does not have any info as to who's its maker or the like.  And I don't see any option in the BIO setup that would allow me to disable cache.  So, two questions, 
    a) Is it possible to disable memory cache for SL410?
    b) if so how?
    Thanks.

    Hi mujno,
    As I know currently there is no programmatically way to clean cache for WebView, see Matt's blog:How to clear the WebView cache

  • How to disable App Nap in latest MacOS by default?

    As mentioned in AIR 3.9 release AIR now supports App Nap feature in latest MacOS (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5745066); but I'm not able to found any documentation on whether AIR provides any in-build feature/code to enable/disable App Nap while compiling or not. Is this an application behavior feature that AIR now supports, or AIR is providing any way to enable/disable this feature while compiling?
    Thanks!

    Hello,
    I am now developing a Webdynpro Project in the following enviroment:

    Windows x64 Platform

    Since I need always change my code wiin a jar file and upload it as a library.
    The default behavior of Application Server is to support java cache locally in JVM. That brings me many problems  (Like can't find new implemented class by dynamical class loader,  ref. http://www.szegedi.org/articles/remotejars.html )
    It there any way to disable JAVA cache on the Application Server?
    Besides, someone told spawning a new JVM for loading the jar may also work. Does our AS support spawning JVM explicitly?

  • How to disable webview cache for Windows Phone 8.1 Runtime universal app?

    Is it possible to disable cache for the Webview control for a Windows Phone 8.1 runtime universal app? My App seems to be remembering the information it received the first time. My app logs me into a service and when I go back to rerun app in the emulator
    (without completing shutting down the emulator) it logs me in automatically rather than giving me the prompt. This behavior is in the NavigationCompleted handler if that helps explain a bit more on where I am hitting this issue.
    If I were to shut off the emulator completely and then restart it then I am prompted for the login name and password again. I have gotten over this cache issue, when I was using the HttpClient in other part of my app, by sending the no-cache in the header
    as:
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
    Can I do something similar for the webview control?
    thanks

  • How to disable video caching

    I would need to disable video cahcing in Java. Do you guys think it is possible? How do I do it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gergely
    P.S. The exact problem see below:
    I am using pcAnywhere which enables me to see my PC (host) in London from a PC in Hungary (remote control)
    Problem:
    When you have remote control over a host that is running a specific Java application, the host screen does not refresh correctly. If you do not run the specific Java application on the host, then the screen is refreshed correctly.
    Hint:
    Some Java applications use video caching to display graphics. This technique renders the video outside of the computer's video driver control. Since pcAnywhere monitors only the host video driver for video activity, any video processes rendered outside of it will not be sent back to the remote. This will effectively prevent the remote user from seeing what is occurring in the Java application.

    Or: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4221688.html
    It provides some workarounds.

  • How to disable image cache in Mail 7

    I urgently need to disable the image cache in Mail 7. How can I do that?
    Reason: I regularly get mails with image files that are essential parts of customer orders. The image content is different in each mail, but the filename is the same.
    Mail 7 displays the same image in every mail until I restart it, it obviously displays a cached file instead of the original image.
    Where is the Mail-cache-file? Can I writeprotect it?

    Dear all,
    it is possible to disable all the app (that appears in the start screen) in Windows 8.1?
    Our users are a little bit confused and we prefer to use the old program (example Windows Photo Viewer and not Photos APP).
    Let me know if it is possible and how to do it.
    If yes, where we can edit the registry key to make the default program Windows Photo Viewer? And other programs? We would like to set Windows Photo Viewer as default app on all our computer in domain. It is possibile to edit this setting in registry?
    And not manual from GUI? 
    Our PC are in a domain.
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    According to your description, you want to open the file without using metro app.
    We don't need to disable all metro app.
    You can use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to change the default programs associated with a file name extension.
    1.Deploy your Windows image to a test computer.
    2 Log into Windows and use Control Panel to configure your default application associations.
    3.You can export the default application associations that you have configured to an XML file on a network share or USB drive. For example, at a command prompt type the following command:
    Dism /Online /Export-DefaultAppAssociations:\\Server\Share\AppAssoc.xml
    4.Use GP server to enable the following group policy to modify the default Associations on the client machine.
    Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Windows Components>File explorer>Set a default associations configuration file.
    Regarding how to export or Import Default Application Associations,please refer to the following article:

    HI Joakins,
    It seems to very simple to solve you can use style based application bar like this,
    <phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
    <shell:ApplicationBar x:Key="groupAppBar"
    BackgroundColor="#EFF2F6"
    ForegroundColor="Black"
    IsMenuEnabled="True"
    Mode="Default">
    <shell:ApplicationBarIconButton x:Name="grp_attach"
    Click="Img_attach_Click"
    IconUri="/Assets/AppBar/attachbaritem.png"
    Text="attach" />
    <shell:ApplicationBarIconButton x:Name="grp_sticker"
    Click="sticker_Click"
    IconUri="/Assets/AppBar/teddybaritem.png"
    Text="sticker" />
    <shell:ApplicationBarIconButton x:Name="grp_Send"
    Click="ImgSend_Click"
    IconUri="/Assets/Chat/send.png"
    Text="send" />
    <shell:ApplicationBar.MenuItems>
    <shell:ApplicationBarMenuItem Click="btnGroupInfo_Click" Text="group info" />
    <shell:ApplicationBarMenuItem Click="btnMedia_Click" Text="media" />
    <shell:ApplicationBarMenuItem Click="btnDeleteGroup_Click" Text="leave group" />
    </shell:ApplicationBar.MenuItems>
    </shell:ApplicationBar>
    </phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
    And at code behind  use like this to show your appbar,
    this.ApplicationBar = this.Resources["groupAppBar"] as ApplicationBar;
    this.ApplicationBar.IsVisible = true;
    And for removing,
    this.ApplicationBar = null;
    Please mark this as answer if you get the solution by this answer.

  • How to disable apps from auto-refreshing?

    I've got an iPad 2 with the latest iOS on it.  Except for one annoying bit of behavior, I love it.  What is so irritating is how iOS seems to refresh an app if you leave it and then return.  A case in point:  I use Zite to read news of all sorts.  Quite often I'll click a link in a Zite article, which then opens Safari or the iTunes store, or some other app.  After I complete my business in the second app, I double-click the home button and select Zite to continue.  iOS will cause Zite to go through a refresh cycle and I wind up on page 1 rather than within the article I was reading.  This means I have to swipe through any number of pages to find the original article, which is made more difficult because Zite, on refresh, has reordered articles and added new ones to the mix.
    This is not unique to Zite though this is the app where I notice it most.  I have found that returning to Safari after using another app will cause Safari to refresh and occasionally not display the page I was visiting immediately, causing me to retrieve the history.
    Is there any setting anywhere that will disable this?
    Thanks for any advice,
    -Tod

    I do not believe there is a way.  You can disable the camera in restrictions that would prevent access to the camera but then you would not be able to use it either and you would need enable the camera again in restrictions if you wanted to use it.

  • How to disable app updates

    How can I disable the app updatesnotifications?  I usually update all the apps when ever I get an update notification, but if I get a lot of apps to update and i try to update them all, i get a message that says I don't have enough space to update all. I then have to go through and hand pick which ones to update or deleate some. The updates just continue to pile up and I have to pick and choose again. Is there a way to disable the app updates all together or would thst cause the apps to not work correctly?

    Is there a way to at least hide the update notification number that just keeps increasing if you can't update them all to get rid of it?
