Ipod Nano using up too much memory

I plugged my friend's "Brand new" Nano into my Mac and it says that it is currently using 588 MB. The problem is there are no songs or pictures on it! So I guess my question is what could possibly be occupying the 588 MB? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No idea - but did you try to run the current iPod updater to restore it to factory conditions?

  • Garageband 11: lagging or unresponsive interface; frequently crashes; and is using way too much memory

    Since updating to the newest version of Garageband I've noticed a distinct slow down in interface and functionality; makes editing incredibly difficult having to wait 2-3 seconds after selecting a note or section; sometimes the whole app becomes unresponsive or just crashes altogether. It also completely maxes out memory usage (8GB!) My machine specs are below but I can't imagine why I couldn't run it. It boots up in about 5 seconds and before Mavericks I could run Logic, Garageband, MS Word, Adobe Edge Animate, and Adobe Muse without it breaking a sweat. Now it's running the fans at full blast using way more memory than is necessary.
    My Machine
    The OS and Applications run off of a 120GB SSD and instead of an Optical drive I use a data doubler and a second internal (500GB HDD) for backups and extra storage - neither are anywhere near capacity.
    Also, I'm not running any other apps, and even tried disabling network connections; no change at all. I do know that Mavericks uses memory differently (don't fully understand the benifit or how it works) but when I open Activity Monitor while running GarageBand it show's my "Memory Used:" at 7.99GB/8GB; but the pressure is still in the green. Could someone please explain to me how the memory usage differs now and why my machine needs to use all of the memory at once to run GarageBand when it is the only app open?
    Why is it that 10.9 is substantially more taxing than 10.8 while claiming to be the opposite? What am I missing here?
    Please Help! :-)

    Since updating to the newest version of Garageband I've noticed a distinct slow down in interface and functionality;
    Your question is a bit ambigious - the "Newest version" would be GarageBAnd 10.0.1, but the title of your question says GarageBand '11. Are you saying, you upgraded to GarageBand 10.0, but now GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5) is having troubles?
    makes editing incredibly difficult having to wait 2-3 seconds after selecting a note or section; sometimes the whole app becomes unresponsive or just crashes altogether.
    Perhaps a crash log could help. Or error messages from the Console window. Does the Console.app show any diagnostic messages, when this hanging occurs?
    and before Mavericks I could run Logic, Garageband, MS Word, Adobe Edge Animate, and Adobe Muse without it breaking a sweat.
    Have all these applications been updated to the latest, Mavericks compatible versions? And all other non-Apple applications?

  • How do I stop Firefox 5.0 being so slow and using far too much memory. I have disabled the plug-in container hoping this would help.

    Firefox 5.0 quickly uses 256,000+ of memory and becomes slow enough to use 60% of a twin-code processor and fails to respond for many, many minutes (10 mins +). It is often quicker to kill it ans start again, but this is a pain as I can have up to 4 /5 tabs open.

    Try a new Profile and see how it is.

  • IMac using up too much memory?

    Good morning everyone. 
      I have a mid 2011 iMac and have upgraded the memory to 6GB.  Once i upgraded the RAM the computer felt very snappy as I was able to do more at one.  Last night I noticed the lag especially in the finder that I experienced before the RAM upgrade.  I opened the activity monitor and noticed that on start up my Mac uses around 2.74 GB of Memory Used.   I have been monitoring the memory usage and have noticed that my system uses about 3.33-3.75 GB of memory when I have one Safari window up.  Is this memory usage  normal.  I have no log in items and I and the most that I am doing is using iTunes, Safari, Twitter and Mail at one time. 
    I am not the most savvy when it comes to the technical part of Macs but I noticed that the kernel_task is running around 423.9MB as I am writing this message. 
    Can someone please assist in understanding this issue I may or may not have? 
    Much appreciated
    Alex

    If I leave iTunes running on my iMac, which if I want to watch movies on my apple TV I have to, it takes all of my RAM. It did when I had 8 gigs, and it does now that I have 32. iTunes just loads the RAM to make the application run quick, but when you need the RAM for a project, you need to dump it first. I use Memory Scope from the app store. There is probably a better way. 

  • Finder periodically using waaayyyyy too much memory

    Since upgrading to 10.5.8 the Finder strikes me as being a bit odd at times. Sometimes it is using a lot of cpu cycles such as 50-80% for no apparent reason that I can find – not copying anything, etc. In trying to sus this out when I notice my machine working harder than I think it should be, I used Activity Monitor to look at the Finder processes. Under stats it showed a huge number of faults, I'm talking here in the 300 million range with Unix calls in the same rough range. Under Memory it showed 16,777,216.00TB under Shared Memory. This then changed to 00 and the same number popped up under Virtual Private, then in both this and Private, then disappeared, only to popup again shortly thereafter.
    I've done a couple of restarts, done the permissions, etc. and it isn't always this way. But something seems amiss and I can't replicate it on demand.
    Any ideas of help someone can offer?
    Thanks!

    Hi abrody;
    You have to help me here for what I should be looking for. In Console under All Messages this was going on during the times I had the problem. Useful?

  • Firefox 4 is slow, it hangs and uses far-too much memory

    I've just had to roll-back to Firefox 3.6.16.
    For those with a similar problem, here's the link:
    http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Firefox 4 became unusable. Firefox 3.6.16 is using about 110,00k of memory - but Firefox 4 was using, typically 160,000k but anything up to 200,000k causing my machine to hang as it struggled to find the memory.
    The weird thing about the memory use was that it just kept on climbing - just a couple of tabs open, nothing special, but you watch the memory usage keep stepping on in about 200k increments.
    There appears to be a major memory leak in Firefox 4, and until it is rectified it really is, for me, completely unusable. I had to use explorer to download 3.6.16 it was that bad.

    This is a reply I made to someone else who also finds the same problem. We think it is not a memory leak, but FF4 caching page in RAM.
    Reply:
    As I long time FF user (1st 20,000 downloaders) I am so disappointed with 4.0.
    I find similar problem. 3.6.16 used approx. 6% of 2Gb RAM, 4 has been reported at 25%. Not caused by extensions as installed over 3.6 with no change in same few exts. Many other problems (e.g. 4 fails to remember allowed redirects & many undesired changes) so resorted to backup of 3.6. Not a definitive answer, but one sure to work is to install a totally portable version of 3.6.16 (or even 4 if you wish to play around with it), there are many portable versions available which do not mess with anything else on your machine, just Google Firefox Portable. I almost exclusively use Portable progs. for everything nowadays and if issue crops up it is as simple as deleting the folder it was installed in. Also it can be copied to a Flash Drive complete with all exts. & settings and used on any win os PC. This is a good recommendation. Hope this helps.

  • I keep getting a pop up saying Firefox is using far too much memory

    If I try to download a video or film something that would have taken 30 minutes is now taking 10-12 hours.
    My download speed is showing 4.79 MB/sec but it´s certainly not doing that.

    This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
    See my post here and do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder.
    * [/questions/826858]
    Do a clean (re-)install:
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Firefox using too much memory after an update

    Since I updated to firefox 14, it started using WAY too much memory, which is 2GB+. This has never happened to me, and none of the solutions on the website have helped me. It starts off normally at about 80 MBs and then starts growing and growing. I have to restart firefox about twice an hour or more.

    I also recently downgraded my flash player to a recommended version on this website since the latest version crashes too much, that was about the time when I updated firefox, not sure if that might be why this is happening
    EDIT: Updated to latest version of flash again. Memory usage is still high

  • FPGA code using too much memory? getting error 52000

    Hi all,
       I'm having trouble getting some FPGA code to run. What I am trying to do with the program is acquire data using DAQmx from two fgen's, and then use an FPGA based lock-in amplifier to find the frequency of these signals and their phase difference (It's actually only a slight modification of a lock-in amplifier available on the NI site). I keep getting error 52000 when I start up the program, indicating I'm using up too much memory somewhere. I don't know why this is, as even the lowest sampling rates I give to the DAQ do not keep this problem from happening. Could someone look at my code to see whats going on?
    Thanks,

    I am using a PXI-7852R card in a PXI-1033 chassis, all connected to my comp through a PCI bridge. I'm also using a PXI-6115 data acquisition card, which is feeding data to the FPGA.
    Sorry for not attaching the VI's, I thought they were contained within the llb. Here they are.

  • 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.

  • Every time I load my igoogle home page opening firefox, it opens it in two tabs instead of one, and then AVG tells me firefox is using too much memory and I should close and reopen it; Why

    I open firefox using my igoogle home page and immediately it opens two igoogle tabs on top instead of just one how do I stop it from opening the second one? and then after about two minutes AVG tells me firefox is using too much memory slowing my machine and tells me to close and reopen fire fox...how do I fix that?

    Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that that there are no longer Firefox or plugin-container processes left on the Processes tab in the Task Manager. Otherwise session restore will reopen the page(s) from the previous session.

  • 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?

    You appear to have AVG installed:
    *See --> http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=173969#post_173969
    From reading on the internet, it appears that when there is a spike in memory usage, AVG "interprets" that as a memory leak, possibly caused by malware. AVG could be incorrect concerning that assumption. Maybe they are being a bit too conservative about memory usage; just my opinion.
    The decision is yours to turn off the "advisor" or leave it on.
