Itunes 11.1.5.5 memory usage windows 7

I have a very large iTunes library.  Lots of music, movies, tv shows, etc.  It links to the AppleTV in the media room.
Lately, around two updates ago, memory usage of iTunes went all wonky.  When first started it uses around 100k. Within a few hours it's over 1.5gb and stops working.  It happens faster if we're using AppleTV.
It's becoming really, really frustrating, to the point where my wife has just quit using it because when iTunes locks up AppleTV stops working.
I've seen this issue crop up elsewhere on the forums, but have yet to see a real solution.
Turning off album view or poster view makes no different.  This happenes no matter what screen iTunes is displaying.

Thanks for your help. Started itunes in safe mode and it still closed down after approx an hour. There are no add-ons or plug-ins installed. I had previously checked the safe mode and also uninstalled all apple software in the order that one of the help pages indicated. Then redownloaded and installed itunes - made no difference.
After opening itunes it works fine with no problems - what baffles me is that it then stops working even if the software is not active at the time.

  • High (and increasing) memory usage: Windows Driver Foundation

    Hello! I updated my Z50-70 to Windows 10 a few days ago, using the clean install method. Everything works great but I noticed one problem. There is one process "Windows Driver Foundation - user-mode driver framework" which consumes great amounts of RAM. But the worrying thing is that when I start the computer that process doesn't use too much memory, but it keeps increasing, slowly but surely, and it doesn't seem to stop. I have done some research and apparently it could be caused by some faulty driver. Does anybody have the same problem? Is it any way to identify what is causing this problem? Thanks.

  • Itunes + memory usage

    Hi,
    I'd like to ask why iTunes uses approximately 40 MB of RAM and has two helper programs, iTunesHelper and iPodService each using 4 MB of RAM running?
    What do iTunesHelper and iPodService do?
    How can I disable features of iTunes that take up extra RAM (e.g. album viewer), and how can I disable iTunesHelper and iPodService?
    Also when is the RAM usage going to be decreased, alternative players such as Windows Media Player 10 use 7-9MB RAM and start up much faster(0.5s) than itunes(4s).
    Where is it possible to download older versions of itunes (e.g. 4.6?)

    I have used iTunes 7.02.16 for a few weeks, and I just now started noticing a focus problem with the mouse pointer that seems to be related to memory usage. I'm running WinXP(sp2) on a new PC. iTunes seems to idle at 50M, however, I am seeing it use 70-100+M at other times.
    The main trouble is that when I doubleclick on a song/video, iTunes loses focus. I have used iTunes since 2003, and I never have had trouble with the pointer focus until this week. Whether I doubleclick slow, normal, or fast, I still cannot get iTunes to play a song/video under the pointer. iTunes either plays a completely different song/video, or it opens the title box for me to edit/rename the song/video. When I view the list of processes running, I see that iTunes is using a larger amount of memory (70-80M) while idling. It's only iTunes; no other applications are losing pointer focus.

  • Window Memory usage even after closing windows

    I've included links to a test app that does nothing but
    launch a window, play a sound, close window / repeat.
    When application launches it uses about 20mb of memory. When
    you click on the only button, it will launch a secondary window
    that will simply play a wav file. (I set the volume low but you may
    want to mute it :D)
    After launching and closing the window several times the
    memory usage goes up considerably and *never* falls back a
    significant %. (I got it to about 100MB before I decided to quit
    trying to increase the memory usage. Right now it's been running
    w/o any user interaction since opening about 10 windows and it's
    fairly stable at around 61MB (although that appears to be
    increasing w/o user interaction).
    Does anyone know of any methods I can use to ensure that the
    memory consumed by secondary windows does not just persist forever
    even after closing the window? Is there something I'm doing wrong
    here?
    Example Code:
    http://www.vf-server.com/air/memorytest.air
    (AIR)
    http://www.vf-server.com/air/memorytest.zip
    (source ZIP)
    Note: When I *minimize* the window it looks like garbage
    collection is forced and app drops back to 11MB (on restore back to
    19mb).
    Edit: note in your task manager, application appears as
    JBTest.exe

    You can call System.gc() to force the garbage collector to
    run.
    Try removing the event listeners when they aren't needed
    anymore. I think it is more difficult for the gc to cleanup objects
    when there are host objects (like Sound) refering to JavaScript
    objects and JavaScript objects refering to host objects, so you
    need to be especially careful about those. It SHOULD clean them up
    eventually, but it may take longer for it to figure out that those
    objects are no longer in use.
    You might also clear the secondaryWindow reference in the
    parent document when the window closes. That reference might retard
    garbage collection, too.

  • Is there a VI to monitor CPU and memory usage on wINDOWS 2000 system ?

    I want to monitor CPU usage and available memory for Windows 2000 computer. Is there a VI that can call the task mngr. via a DLL to provide this information in real time ?

    There was a nice example using .NET technology, but it seems the link has changed and I cannot find it anymore. See this older thread for some clues.
    Does anyone know what happened to the target of the original link in my old post?

  • Memory usage exceed -Xmx option in Windows 2000.

    Hi ,
    I run the java application with -Xms300M -Xmx600M option in Windows 2000.
    When I start the application, it's virtual memory size is 300M.
    (In Windows TaskManager choose the Processes Tab and select "Select Columns..." option in View menu. And check the "Virtual Memory Size".)
    After several test I found that it's virtual memory size is bigger than 600M in Windows TaskManager.
    It's virtual memory size is about 650M.
    Why the application's memory usage is bigger than 600M despite of -Xmx600M?

    The -Xms and -Xmx control the Java heap size only.
    The stack does not go on the heap, and the VM will need some memory of its own as well.

  • Memory usage in windows nt and windows 2000

    My program is polling, visualizing and saving continuously sent data. When I use it under Windows NT(sp6), after some time the computer runs out of virtual memory. In the task manager I can see the memory usage increasing with time. But when I use it under windows 2000(sp3) and look at the task manager nothing important happens, the memory usage is quite constant. Does anyone have any idea about this situation? Any help would be most appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ogulcan

    Assuming that your application isn't continuously reading into memory ever-increasing amounts of data, the thing to look for are references that you aren't closing when you are finished with them.

  • Indesign CC freezes and maxes out memory usage in Windows 7

    I'm having a problem where Indesign will freeze and when I check on it in Task Manager I can see the memory usage climbing until it's using all free memory. I have to kill the task to get it to stop. I have 8GB and it maxed out at 6.5gb this morning. I'm on Windows 7 Pro and am using the 64-bit version of Indesign with the most recent update.

    The document I'm working on now is only about 35 pages with 1-3 images per page, nothing too crazy. I don't have any extra plugins from what I recall - how do I check?
    I'm using Photoshop and sometimes Illustrator at the same time, but have plenty of free memory until ID goes nuts.

    Hi,
    No just turn the monitor off, not the product off. Which version of NIS are you using ? Please see the following screen:

  • ITunes 702 memory usage.

    I find this a bit odd.
    If you turn on the option to minimize to the tray and minimize it, the memory usage stays around 50mb, as if it was up on the screen. If you turn the option off, and minimize, then it drops to about 12mb of ram. Shouldn't they be the same?
    I have to say I am really disappointed with this version of iTunes. It's terribly slow. It's sad that just the UI needs about 40mb of ram.
    Does anyone have any tips on how to speed it up, or is it like this for everyone?

    iTunes 7.0.2 is a total POS. Many of us have been waiting for a fix(s) to the myriad issues - CPU usage, RAM usage, song stuttering, video playback issues - for almost 2 months now.

  • High Page Pool Memory Usage on a Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster

    Hi, 
    may someone has a similar Problem or can give me a helping Hand. 
    I'm having a 9Node Cluster ( Windows 2012 R2 , fully Patched from RTM Version on ) 
    The Cluster is connected to a SAN which is an Equallogic ( Firmware 6.11).  HitKit Driver 4.7.1 
    The System running clean and without any Event Logs until the Page Pool Usage of the Nodes turn over 15 GB of Paged pool Memory. 
    I monitore that via a Performance Counter ( \Memory\Pool Paged Bytes)
    otherwise I have no indication by for example the Process View, the Calculated Sum on the Overview ( TaskManager / Memory ) but shows on the contraditory the 15GB an Memory Usage. 
    I downloaded the RAMMap Tool from Sysinternals but that doesnt show me any possible Information for the information , acutally the Information differs from RAMMap to the Performance Counter ( RAMMap = 251MB, Performance Counter = 15GB ) 
    Just to make that point clear , there is No Information beside the Sum of Page File on the System Page and the PerfCounter that so much Page Pool Memory is used by any Process . Therefor it is hidden which process "needs" it. 
    I tried many thinks ,  like search for a Memory Hole in the Drivers , Hyper-V Stack , Equallogic and hoped for resolution with any new Patch which had a "Memory Leak" Information to them , but so far none has made a difference , maybe someone
    has the same Problem. 
    My Cluster has routher large VMs on it compared to the Numa Seize ( VM 4-128GB, on DELL R720 ( 2x CPU (8C) 384GB RAM  ) 
    ( The VMs have also a High IO Usage , as there RAM is used as a RAM Database ( zb. Mongo DB ) ) 
    Regards
    M

    Hi Alex, 
    there is something wrong here and not an "normal" Memory Leak , as for that reason I would see the amount of Page Pool Memory assigned to a given Process.
    If that would be the Case I could use RAMMap or even Vmmap to adresse the Paged Pool usage, but those Tools dont reflect the Usage like the PerfCounter does. 
     The Windows Driver Kit for a 2012 R2 System is WDK 8.1 which has a necessity of VS2013 ( Important: Before
    installing WDK 8.1 Update, you need to install Visual Studio 2013. See the Visual Studio links on this page.)  My Last Hope was to get poolmon.exe and identify the Source for the "Paged Pool" Usage .
    We are having that Problem now since the Early Days of Windows 2012R2 and because the Usage is quite "hidden" we only found out , when we ran out of Memory without knowing why. 
    Worst Usage Rates where up to 150GB of Paged Pool  !! given a RAM 385GB ( Dell R720)  that is quite a Number. 
    Im wondering if noone else with a cluster ( seems that the Node numbers in a Cluster and the "RAM" Seize of the VM ( >32GB )  have a tremendous impact on that given Problem , with a 4 Node Cluster the Problem isnt so big )  

  • Upgrading to FF 27 created huge (~1 GB/hr) memory usage for iconified windows on Mac 10.8

    Here is what I know about the problem:
    - Two different Macs (10.8.x, 10.9.x) with 32 GB RAM ran out of system swap due to the size of the Firefox process growing to over 20 GB, and both machines had virtually idle CPUs with no Firefox usage whatsoever - they were unattended
    - It occurred immediately after upgrading from Firefox 26 to 27.0.1
    - The set of pages, tabs, windows was the same before and after upgrading
    - There does not seem to be a single identifiable URL that causes the problem, but opening a window with this URL and then iconifying it causes memory to be leaked at a substantial rate (at least on one OS X 10.8.5 machine)
    - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163744.aspx
    - I normally have ~25 tabs distributed across ~8 windows, all of which but one are iconified
    - Memory is consumed at the staggering rate of ~1 GB/hour while the offensive window is iconified
    - Memory is not leaked per-se - about:memory confirms that heap-unclassified memory is growing rapidly, but as soon as the offending window is opened and no longer iconified, the memory usage immediately drops back to the normal ~1 GB or so - this is also verifiable in Activity Monitor.app, etc
    - The problem occurs in safe mode, but regardless the only plugins installed are Shockwave Flash, QuickTime, and Java Applet
    - I have killed Firefox repeatedly and can recreate the same memory usage pattern
    - I have at least one Mac, however, on which trying to reproduce this does nothing
    - I've already spent hours trying to determine even the initial cause of this

    Another user was talking about this issue on the forum and created a bug report.

  • After iTunes 11.2 upgrade, big CPU and kernel memory usage

    The first time I opened iTunes 11.2 after the upgrade, I hit next. I then fought to open Podcasts settings because I had a feeling the delete listened to would be on (it was), then turned it off. It was very difficult to get the iTunes UI to respond. Eventually the whole machine was slowing down, so I had to kill it.
    After a reboot, I started iTunes again. This time I didn't even get the UI to come up, just high CPU usage (75-90% by iTunes), and quickly-growing kernel_task memory (> 4-5GB, was around 2GB before starting iTunes).
    I can't get the iTunes UI to come up anymore.
    Repairing disk permissions didn't help.
    I have over a hundred podcast subscriptions, and some of the subscriptions have hundreds of episodes downloaded. I don't want to delete any of that because some of it can't be redownloaded. (Not that I can delete anything right now, as I can't get the iTunes UI to come up!)
    Has anyone else seen this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • ITunes 10.7 upgrade - 'Please Wait While Windows Configures iTunes'

    Upgraded to iTunes 10.7, which I now regard as one of the poorest pc-related decisions I've ever made.  The time suck on this issue is massively depressing.
    Running Windows Vista.  Have completely uninstalled and re-installed (clean registries, re-boots etc) all iTunes and Apple products with no resolution.
    Every time I try to start iTunes I get a "Please Wait While Windows Configures iTunes" message on loop.  At some point it will usually default to "Checking iTunes Library" and then both that and the installer will run in tandem.  When I look at Task Manager it seems to indicate from the amount of memory usage that iTunes is in fact running in some form or at some level, but it does not actually open the program.
    When I reinstalled yesterday iTunes opened right up (after the install it did not ask me to reboot the system).  When I restarted the system this morning the problem was back.  Just installs and installs and installs ...  Doesn't actually open.  Wouldn't any registry conflict/problem have been fixed with the clean reinstall? 
    I've tried every solution/trick/suggestion I can find with internet searches. No luck.  This has been a month now.  iPhone and various iPods completely inaccessible re content and that really hammers home the danger of relying on a closed system like this.  Really disappointed in this situation.
    Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.
