IPad 2 fills up its 4GBs Free Memory After Switching On

Hi Forum
odd one. My Ipad2 is always full. except when i turn it off, and on, it reveals 4.2GBs free. This then, while its on and left on for days , seems ot fill up, and when i come to add something to it, or use it, its full. That free 4.2Gbs has been filled. i havent used it, addded to it, downloaded to it, uploaded to theicloudaccojt connected to it...?!?!?!
why does it fill up?
and nothing in 'usage' shows anything too large either?!?!?!

Does the 4.2GB free space you refer to come from Settings>General>About>Available?

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Is it possible that you or someone who knows your iCloud sign on went into the Find My iPhone app and erased your device via iCloud? Because that is what that message is saying.
Have you tried to sign on with your Apple ID and password?

Free memory after using GetRS232ErrorString() to avoid memory leak?

Hello,
Is it necessary to free memory after using function GetRS232ErrorString() to avoid memory leak?
Example 1:
int main();
char *strError=NULL;
strError = GetRS232ErrorString(55); /* just an example for error message */
free(strError ); /* Do I need to free this pointer? */
Example 2:
int main();
MessagePopup ("Error", GetRS232ErrorString(55)); ; /* Will I get a memory leak with this function call? */
BR
Frank

It's a pity that the documentation is indeed so poor in this case, but testing shows that it always returns the same pointer, no matter the error code, so it seems to be using an internal buffer and you are not supposed to free the string (but need to copy it before the next call to GetRS232ErrorString if you need to keep the text). It does however return a different pointer for every thread, so atl least it seems to be thread safe.

Free memory after TDMS logging

Hi, how can I free memory after reading TDMS files. I haev a very big TDMS file that contains 17000000 digital samples, after reading the data and graphing it I would like to delete it from memory because it is no longer needed. I have noticed I should close LabVIEW to free that space. Is there any way to free that memory after reading and plotting?
Thanks

LabVIEW wil take care of the memory management. Thus, there is no explicit way for you to free memory in LabVIEW. In fact, I don't think you should do that by yourself. LabVIEW has quite good memory optimation strategy and it wll track all the memory usage in your VI and reuse/free memory when there is no reference to it. As for TDMS, once the data is read out from the TDMS VIs, there will be no additional data copy inside.

Replication agent doesn´t free memory after expensive operation

Our environment is made up of master node and 17 subscriber.
We have issued a delete action implying 1000000 rows. During the deletion, normal CPU, memory and swap usage was observed. Later, CPU usage has recovered while memory and swap has not. The most memory consumming process was timestenrep with 9Gb.
Deletion has been correctly replicated to all nodes. However, the replication agent needed to be restarted manually in order to recover memory/swap.
Why the replication agent did not recover on its own and free memory?

In a replicated environment, executing very large transactions (such as deleting 1M rows in a single transaction) is a very hazardous thing to do and is something you should avoid at all costs. It can cause a number of serious problems. Transactions should be limited to no more than a few thousand operations. If you need to empty a table, use TRUNCATE instead. This will execute far more quickly, generate less log and will not cause problems for replication. If you cannot use TRUNCATE then you should break the DELETE up into multiple smaller transactions. For example if you wish to delete all row where 'startdate' is less than some value and this is likely to result in a large number of deletions then you could repeatedly execute the following sequence:
DELETE FIRST 1000 FROM sometable WHERE startdate < :someval;
COMMIT;
and just keep doing this until the 'rows affected' value is zero.
The same applies to large inserts and updates.
The memory usage behaviour of the replication daemon, while perhaps not ideal, is correct and as expected. When you delete 1M rows in a single transaction the replication daemon has to allocate memory (via malloc) for 17x copies (in your case) of the transaction data. That is probably a lot of memory. Once the transaction has been replicated to all 17 subscribers. This memory is moved to an internal 'free' list for re-use but is not returned to the O/S until the replication agent is terminated. Since it such a bad idea to execute these large transactions this behaviour is generally not a problem.

Free memory after Function call

Hi,
Is there a possibility to free the memory after a call to a function.
The call is only used for display, not to get data.
(For example - CALL FUNCTION 'FKK_BUPA_DISPLAY')
Our z-transaction delivers a way of navigating through different ISU objects (coming from an ALV list)
The user first selects a case from this list and then he receives the details. From the details screen we then call these standard function to display the ISU objects.
During the day memory usage is getting build up and it's only released when the user leaves our z-transaction.
Ideally the memory should be released when the user returns to the list and not at the end of the day when he leaves the transaction.
I've tried with FREE MEMORY but this doesn't help.
Greetings,
Ivo

Hi Ivo,
sounds like a "enldess transaction" pattern.
Take multiple memory snapshots (OK-CODE /HMUSA) in your application and compare
these in transaction S_MEMORY_INSPECTOR in order to find out if there is a memory
leak. The comparison will show you where memory growth comes from... maybe this gives
you an idea what could be deleted between the steps of your endless transaction.
Kind regards,
Hermann

IOS 5: iPod Touch 4g says no Free memory After Sync

My iPod 4g, iOS 5, 8GB says After Sync no Free memory. Before the Sync there was 1gb Free Memory.... Even if i Delete Apps, the iPod says 0 Byte Free memory...

It was in the category "Other". Now i Have done a Hard reset(i think): i have pressed the Lock Button 5sec, then Lock and home Button 10 sec together. Then it Took a few minutes. In this minutes there was the Apple Logo , Like when the iPod Starts up. After that, everything was okay and i had again 1gb Free memory :)

IPad is now severely messed up after connecting iPod to its iCloud account, and after switching to that same Apple ID for iMessage/FaceTime

So, it all started with iMessage. FaceTime had similar log in symptoms as well, but I don't really use FaceTime. The best way I can describe it is with this... Paragraph I sent to my friend, describing my dilemma.
iMessage and everything was PERFECT for about a day, then it stopped working suddenly on my iPad. Then it wouldn't work on both. Then I could sign in on my iPod but not my iPad. Then finally I could log in to both. But it deleted the old send and receive email I was using, so everyone I texted would see an email rather than my name. It WOULD NOT let me add the email again, it would refuse to send a verification email to allow it to work, and would finally just say "error". Now it suddenly stopped working on my iPad and it hasn't worked at all for almost 2 days now. Oh and I only receive notifications for VZ Messages on my iPod, not my iPad. All the settings are perfectly in order on my iPad as well, so I have no clue what to do.
Instagram notifications also have appeared to behave as the VZ Messages notifications have. Any ideas? These are all of my top-used apps, and all of their noticatioms are left broken on my iPad after I added my iPod to my iCloud account, and started using my own Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime.
DO NOT BOTHER GIVING ME THESE LINKS, AS THEY ARE NOT EVEN DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING.

iOS: FaceTime or iMessage is "Unable to verify email because it is in use"
If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email

My IPad doesn't show the right amount of free memory

I purchased some books from Ibook store but when tried to download I got the message not enough space. Before start downloading I had 4 GB of free memory. I erase all the books and after that the amount of memory hasn't returned to the previous level. It has happened again and after some days the issue has been solved without doing something. But now the problem insists.

I have a MacBook running OS 10.9 with 4GB of memory free. Can I install Yosemite?

I have a MacBook running OS 10.9 with 4GB of memory free. Can I install Yosemite?

Other things being equal, 4GB is enough to check your email and run Yosemite. If your Mac runs well with Mavericks it should run well with Yosemite.
You probably won't be happy with the performance of your Mac with Yosemite if you are planning on doing other things that are more demanding on your hardware, like Photoshop or editing video, or using virtualization software. Unless you like seeing the spinning beachball.
Other factors are important too, like your HD (SSD vs. conventional drive), how full your HD is, how fast your processor is, and if you have some types of "crapware" on your Mac, for example, CleanMyMac or MacKeeper, or other similar dubious "utilities". Or antivirus software. But that is a whole discussion in itself.
You can easily test drive Yosemite in one of two ways:
1. Make a backup of your current installation, like with Time Machine. Then if you don't like Yosemite you can restore from your backup.
2. Make a test partition on your hard drive and install Yosemite there.

High cache usage of free memory

I dont know if this is normal but my fresh archlinux x86_64 install with Xfce uses round 300Mb of 4Gb ram space after boot but then after i start and close some programs i get to 3 Gb used of 3.87 Gb free memory when all applycation are closed. Now i understand that kernel caches some data in memory but i cant clear it all with commands:
sync
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
After i do that system reports 540 Mb used compared to 300Mb from boot. Is there a way to limit the ammount of cache usage so i dont end up having all free memory used by cache?

Ram that is unused is wasted ram, the linux kernel manages it very well so no worries there.
If you have swap usage it's because most probably you have things stored in the ram that are not being used often but cannot be discarded too so things being used more often take precedence.
If you think you have enough ram for all your needs then why not disable swap? I've read that there might be a speed penalty for running without swap but I've been running my system without swap (arch64 4G ram) and I've never had any bad surprises.
There are a few things that might prompt swap usage (don't quote me on that though, it just seems to me to be the case), if you copy many files from one place to the other the kernel will use all the ram available to try to cache them, if you copy many GB then all the ram will get filled (and maybe other things will get evicted to swap).
It's not a bug, free ram is there to be used, things that have been used/needed recently get to stay in the ram, other things can go to the swap, if you can cache a file that has been recently used and need to use it again shortly after then it's much faster if it is in the ram instead of having to read it again from the hard disk. The logic behind it is good, it's just that some corner cases may make behave badly.

My iPad is filling up my PowerBook hard disk. Where can I find the sync Photo file to delete it ?

Hi
My iPad is filling up my PowerBook hard disk. Where can I find the sync Photo file to delete it ?
Copying over photos via iTunes/iPhoto - there is a back-up file created (I can not turn it off) and it's now filling my PB-Pro.
So I need to find it and trash it and start over.
- Where is it located ?
- What is it's name ?
Yours Bengt W

Thank You
I found my iPhoto library
ctrl-clicked on it and opened package/content
here I found the iPod photo cashe folder
copyed this to a safe hard disk
then deleting it's content
and my memory/free space on boot drive is back
So I hope all's well.
Yours Bengt W

How can i restore memory after deleting all photos on my iPad 8.1.2

iPad 4
8.1.2
Photos; not iPhoto app
Under GENERAL I cannot restore my capacity memory after deleting all my photos from the iPad.
I do not store photos in the Cloud. I do not use Photo Stream
I have reset my iPad as well as checked in Image Capture for possible photos still there.
I have also deleted last 30 days of photos.

In iOS 8.1.2 photos that are deleted from the Camera Roll are moved to the Recently Deleted album. They remain there for 30 days unless you delete them again from that album. The Recently Deleted album was created because so many people complained that they deleted photos and wanted them back. The Recently Deleted album gives people 30 days to change their mind about deleting photos. For the rest of us, it's kind of a pan to have to delete the photos twice to free up the storage space.
Oh, and there is no longer an iPhoto that works on iOS devices running iOS 8.1.2.

HP Laserjet p1102w - after firmware upgrade / Smart Install update - down to 1MB free memory

Hello,
I have a Laserjet p1102w running off a laptop with Windows 7 64-bit. Just bought the printer this month.
After updating the firmware to 20120814 version and updating the SmartInstall update utility for the 20120814 version as well, I am now down to 1 MB free memory (out of 8MB originally). [Another LJ p1102w updated prior to these updates has 3MB free memory.]
Because I have 1MB free memory, the printer is almost a brick. It can print simple text based pages - however, printing any page with a graphic or a PDF file will cause the printer to take forever to receive data - essentially preventing printing a page on my new printer (while printing the same page instantaneously on my older nonupdated p1102w).
Is there any way to fix this problem, given there is no memory upgrade option? Otherwise, this printer is a brick.
Thank you in advance for a reply - especially from HP.

Hi cyskim,
Did you tried turning the printer off and on after updating the firmware? This should clear its memory, including any memory may affected during the firmware upgrade proccess .
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.
If my post resolve your problem please mark it as an Accepted Solution
