Iphoto Too much memory being taken up?

I don't know if this has already been brought up but:
When I go into my Iphoto, it says that there's 11 gigs taken up. But when I click on "Iphoto Library" it says that 26 gigs are being used. What's the deal? Garbage is empty. Is it thumbnails? And how do I fix this cause Id like more space? Please help

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The library has a lot of overhead in it. Some of it is the thumbnail image files. There are also the library database files along with the modified files (those photos you've edited or portrait oriented photos from a camera with the auto rotate feature). This is what a typical iPhoto Library looks like inside.

So what you're seeing is normal. It's the nature of the beast.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Agent taking too much memory...

Hello all,
i am on hp-ux itanium. I have OMS(11.1) and agent running on this box. And for some reason the oracle process is taking too much memory. From the glance cmd at OS level, we get the below...Why is java taking some much memory...the only thing running on this box is OMS, agent, the repository DB and one other DB. This machine is 16gb of memory. Any idea where i can start digging to figure out why so much memory is being taken by java and emagent process ??? is that normal ?

Finer takes too much memory on yosemite! and keeps taking more and more until it gets the machine to it's knees! What to do???

Right after getting yosemite on my Macbook Pro with 16GB memory and SSD HDD. I find that after working for 30 minutes or so that the machine gets really slow, even switching between screens gets kinda of sluggish!!!
So i looked into the Activity Monitor and to my surprise i find that Finder is taking more than 4GB of memory just by itself and high percentage of CPU.
If i quit it, the machine goes back to being normal, but then Finder will restart, and again after 30 minutes or so, it does the same thing over and over.
I am sure that it's some kind of a bug, but i don't know where to start to solve this problem!!!
This never happened on previous OSXs.
If anyone have a hint it will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Why does Firefox keep telling me that it is using too much memory, (eg: 235MB) and I should restart Firefox?

Lately Firefox has been popping up a warning while I am on the internet saying, that "Firefox" is using too much memory. It suggests shutting down Firefox and restarting Firefox. It also told me how much memory that is in use at that time. It is usually about 235MB or more. What is normal memory use for Firefox to use while I am on the internet? Does high usage mean that some other person is trying to get into my computer?

Apps are using too much memory. how do i find out how much each app is using?

MACAir Memory 128gb: the apps are using too much memory. i get not sufficient memory for upgrades. how can i find out how much memory each app is using?

Mavericks is designed to use RAM differently for good reason. Normal
http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/12/compressed-memory-in-os-x-109-maverick s-aims-to-free-ram-extend-battery-life
Mavericks uses RAM much more efficiently than any other previous version of OS X. Mavericks now has a memory compression feature that will compress the memory occupied by applications that aren't being actively used and give the freed up RAM to the application that needs it the most.

Firefox 12 STILL consumes too much memory and periodically stalls

1. This has gone on actually since at least Firefox 8 for many of us. With Windows 7 32 or 64bit, AND we are told OTHER OS's as well, Firefox 12 IS consuming too much memory!
When FF 12 memory consumption "hits" 800MB on a 8 GB machine, and continues to slowly climb, FF 12 has code or other problems.
2. ALSO, Firefox 12 under many circumstances, is slowing to a crawl, especially in opening windows and tabs.
NOTHING we do, inspect with memory tools, etc. seems to point to any "culprits" or guide the way to researching and potentially solving these problems...and they ARE problems within Firefox 12, and likely earlier versions.
TIME TO CLEAR THE AIR?
These are problems being seen by others, with or without any (totally blanked out/disabled) Add-On's and even most Plug-In's being disabled or removed, both for testing the problems sen in FF 12.
There IS a problem, or more than one, here, and it's not isolated or "just refer to this checklist" solvable.
There's problems, perhaps memory leaks and other agenda IN THE CODE.
We users need to stop being poo-poo'ed and "pampered" by needless communications that do nothing to truly address the problems.

I encountered this after the memory leak was mentioned as pat of a slowdown issue with an add-on that has been in use as long as I've been using Firefox (All-in one sidebar -AIOS). After a relatively short length of time under both Firefox 11 and 12 it starts to slow down. Sub menus take more than a second to show up when the parent menu is clicked, links take more than a second to activate, pages don't load as quickly. (I have a 30Mbps downstream internet connection that I test regularly, and consistently shows between 25 and 30MBps speeds from multiple sites throughout the US. It's NOT my download speed.)
In looking for explanations I saw at least one mention of a memory Leak.
So I decided to test this for myself. I first removed AIOS, then re-started Firefox and just left it running. I did nothing except minimize and restore it a few times. About an hour later the memory used by FF had gone from a reasonable 42K or so, to over 200K.
I tested again after uninstalling ALL my add-ons and plug ins. The same thing happened again.
This is NOT simply high memory use. Which I interpret as a particular tasks or process using more memory than it maybe should.
This is quite clearly a memory leak. Nothing was being executed, nothing was running with Firefox, and no pages were loaded during this time. But he use memory just steadily grew.
This is clearly a new issues since I did NOT have this problem when I was using Firefox 8. If I can find an install of that I'm going back to it.
If not I'll settle for the ESR mentioned here. If nothing else it seems to have a slower leak.
I never did like the new version number / rapid release schedule. Mostly because growing version numbers at that rate made no real sense to me as a developer myself. But also because speed of release for new features should not be the target but quality. I think we can see that this has clearly fallen by the wayside.
I only wish I thought there was a viable alternative.

Firefox uses too much memory, gets bloated, and won't respond.

For the past several versions of FF....I have posted here about it's 'behavior' under OS X.
The browser uses too much memory. After a short period of time, it becomes 'bloated', slow to respond, and requiring a 'force quit' to get out of it.
Being as I've posted about this before, for a previous version, and only received feedback from other Mac users experiencing the same thing, and not getting answers or help...I've stopped using it once more. It was a one day trial, and I didn't make it past 6 hours of use.
Welcome back, Safari!!!

OIM 11g using too much memory and not releasing it when shutting down

Hello,
we have a problem with OIM 11g using too much memory (about 5gb) and it's not releasing it at shutdown (4gb still used).
We are using a VM with RedHat Linux 5.6. Originally we had 4gb RAM + 2gb swap file. We installed Admin Server, OAM, OIM and SOA on that machine but quickly realised we couldn't run all 4 programs at once in 6gb. AdminServer could run with 2 other products, but it was a tight fit in memory.
So we increased the RAM to 8gb (still 2gb swap file). But then our problem occured : I start the Admin Server (2.7gb total memory used), then OAM (4.6gb total memory used) and then OIM. After it started the server is now using 9.6gb of memory (~300mb of free memory) ! The problem gets even better : after I shut down everything (OIM, OAM, admin server) the "top" command show that there is still 4gb of memory used even tho nothing else is running on the server ! There is absolutely no other process (other than root stuff) running and no other users connected to the machine. After a reboot, it shows 400mb of memory used. I tried restarting the programs and it did the same thing.
Our intuition is that there might be a memory leak or some bug in OIM that might use up almost all the free memory and it's not releasing it upon shutdown. It might have been there before we increased the memory but have not noticed it since memory was already tight.
Anyone encountered the same problem ? Any idea ? Any suggestion to narrow down the problem ?
Thank you

You can adjust the memory settings for WLS by editing the setSOADomainEnv.sh file that can be found in your /middleware/user_projects/domains/<domain>/bin/ folder. There is an argument called PORT_MEM_ARGS which is used to set your Java memory arguments. This way you can decrease/increase the amount of memory used by each managed server.
I usually type "ps -ef | grep oracle" to see what processes are running by the oracle user. This way the output doesn't get cluttered with root processes.

Firefox uses too much memory

I've been using Firefox as the default browser on my systems (both Windows and Linux and in 32 or 64 editions) and for some reason Firefox consumes too much memory. Now trust me. I have a very fast machine and so I get very frustrated with this issue as it seems to be a Firefox only issue. Its true that I might have up to 40 tabs open at times but Chrome can handle it Safari can handle it and even Explorer can handle it. Sometimes Firefox's memory consumption peaks to an astonish 3GB of memory which is unheard of. My machine is so fast that I can have up to 10 programs open (Maya, Photoshop, Cinema 4d, Autodesk Suites MySql server and PHP5, MS Office) and still be able to work with them all at the same time, but Firefox crashes suddenly and that is very annoying as I've customized it to my needs adding extensions and making sure all my online baking is done using Firefox. This memory issue is far more noticeable when I'm using Windows 7 64 bits. The same amount of tabs and extensions opened on Linux have no effect on memory and I often switch to Linux just to be able to enjoy a smooth Firefox browsing experience. I've invested so much money into building an amazing machine and it takes 10 minutes of having Firefox running to crash it all completely. I've lost track of the amount of times I've lost my profile and had to rebuild all my customizations but I can stand that. What is beyond my comprehension is the fact that when I'm using Windows XP or Linux the memory used by Firefox is far lower than when I'm using Windows 7 or 8.1 .
Can you help me out? I really love Firefox and would like to keep using it as my default browser but can't afford losing my profile info every time Firefox crashes or having Windows Explorer crashing and losing all the work I'm doing on other software programs.
Much appreciated;
Sam

Are there any tabs reopened from the previous session when this happens?
Do you keep a large history?
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
You can try to check and repair the places database with this extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Skype keeps crashing after taking too much memory

Hello,
So my version of skype client is 7.3.0.101 and it doesn't stop crashing since a few months now.
Here's precisely what happens : I launch it, it's pretty slow since the problem the problem appeared but something like 30 after it crashes. We can see in the task manager that skype progressively takes way too much memory, most of the time it starts at 150 Mo and quickly reaches 1200-1400 Mo before crashing.
I noticed that skype took less memory by running it in compatibility mode for windows XP service pack 3, it stays stuck at 200 Mo, but my whole computer looks slower.
I tried everything but nothing worked, I uninstalled and reinstalled it, I added or modified keys in my registry, added skype to exceptions in my fire-walls, tried to install an older version (which didn't work because of auto update)... I don't know what to do now, that's why I come here to ask for help
Also one more thing : It exessively takes my processor power (arround 14% all the time), and my processor is an i7-4770.
Thanks a lot if you decide to help me !

Request for too much memory???

I get an error message
Request for too much memory, will hang forever.
That sounds like a long time. Will it's still hanging. Any ideas?

The DOM does take up some memory if you use it, but if you're just parsing that XML doc on startup and storing the values you want to add to each session, I'd argue that it's not a problem. Do it in the servlet init() method once and for all and store the values you want. You don't have to use DOM to manage that - do it with SAX and don't create and store a DOM tree if you're that worried about it.
(68KB for the XML doc + DOM memory overhead) * 50 users = ?
Do an experiment and find out exactly how much memory you're talking about. Compare that to the amount of memory you'll have available and see how many users it'll be a problem for. Don't go by hearsay - I'd recommend a scientific approach. Measure it and decide for yourself. - MOD

Why oracle taking too much memory?
Any solution for this bec of that my updation takes too much time .
Edited by: harshalpatil on Oct 13, 2008 4:11 PM

Harsh,
1) What version of Oracle you running on 7.5 release of linux?
2)How did you come to the conclusion that because of this, your update is slow?
Cheers
