Is it possible to find out how much memory each App is taking up?

Hi,
About 2.5gb of my iPhone's memory is taken up by Apps, according to iTunes.
Is it possible to determine which Apps are using big chunks of memory? Is it possible at all to find out for each App how much memory it uses?

There's no tutorial from Apple to say. It's three things I've noticed. Applications not classified yet by the iTunes computer, Application's stored data and redundant memory.
One time I noticed a very high usage of "other" when I know I installed Applications. I unchecked the Applications and synced to remove it all down to redundant memory, resynced and it went to nearly all Application space with a lower "other" space.
If you plug in your iPhone and access the iTunes iPhone options, you can uncheck applications and resync to find out if that lowers the "other" memory of 1.5 Gigs.
Or you can try unchecking the music, videos, photos, etc and see if that is it too.
A clean restore may help too.

How can I find out how much memory each song is using?

how can I determine the file size of each song in my playlist?

Hey mate,
Highlight a song by clicking on it.
Hold [Control] and Left Click on the song, choose 'Show in Finder', this will open that song in the finder, then select that song, go up to file on the top taskbar, choose 'Get Info' and it will show you the file size.
Hope this helps,
Regards,

Hello comodotomi
If the app is in iTunes, you can get information on what Apple ID was associated with the purchase. The steps to do this are outline in the article below.

How can i find out how much memory i have left on my imac

i have an iMac and i dont know how to find out how much memory i have left on my computer.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

smash adams,
If you're talking about hard disk space, open Finder, click once on your hard disk (left column) and look at the bottom of the Finder window.
If you're talking about RAM, Finder >Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.
Open Activity monitor and click the System Memory tab.

Where do I go to find out how much memory I have left?

Use the Settings app.
Settings > General > Usage
You should see how much storage space is used on your device and how much remains. It takes a little while for the apps section to update but that area will tell you how much storage is being used by each app. Tapping on the > next to an app will provide information on how much storage the app requires and how much is being used by data and files.

How do I find out how much memory is in an eMac with no hard drive?

I purchased a used old eMac G3 and am a PC guy only. I bought it from someone who told me that there is 512mb of RAM in it, but I want to confirm this. Is there a way to get into the BIOS for eMacs? I just want to find out how to check how much RAM is inside.

Can the drives on them read DVD-RWs? What about dual layer DVDs?
Depends on what that sticker says, assuming the drive has not been replaced. It's hard to say with eMAcs; becasue they were an edu-model, they probably have more optical drive posibilities than any other Mac. Some even shipped with NO optical drive, presumably to prevent students from bring software from home.
The MacTracker database (free from http://mactracker.ca/) lists the following possibilities for optical drives in a 1.25G eMac:
None, CD-ROM, DVD/CD-RW Combo, or 8x SuperDrive
Also more tech info here:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/emac/stats/emac_1.25.html
The combo drive reads DVDs. Reading DVD=RW may depend on where they were burned and the media brand. The next model, the 1.42Ghz, shows the SuperDrive as dual layer; no such entry for the 1.25G.
If you are thinking about burning a system disk from another computer, be aware that almost never works on Macs.

I want to find out how much memory is left on my macbook pro. I need to know steps to find this out.

I had a problem today as my computer would not save a file for me. A box stated macintosh HD was full and I would need to clear some files to make room. I realized that although I had deleted emails from mac mail, gmail had not deleted these and all still remained on my macbook pro. I went to gmail and finally deleted all the emails, and there were thousands. I have been able to save a file as of now but want to know how much memory exists on my macbook pro. It is confusing when I go to the Apple icon in the upper left corner of my laptop as that states my computer has 4gb of memory, two in each slot. It does not tell me how much as been used. Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated. M.

The bottom of a Finder window will show you how much HD space you have left.

How do I find out how much memory can my macbook take?

I am trying to find out is my macbook can improve somehow performance (i am experiencing some slow downs when i have a number of applications open) by expanding the memory? now i have 2gb+2gb....can i go higher? thank you

8 GBs is the maximum you can install. But adding more RAM may not help:
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.
You might also consider some maintenance:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

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.
