Itunes uses lots of memory in Vista

Hey, I don't know if any of you out there have the same problem with itunes and vista but when I run itunes it uses 300MB to 1.2GB of RAM at any given time. I am confused why Itunes would take soo much memory just to play songs. If anyone knows how to solve this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
EVGA 680i Other OS 2.6GHZ DC, 2GB, SLI 512MB, 600GB raid 0, Windows Vista

Never mind, I figured it out by myself. On this particular machine I had a 3rd party plug-in installed (SRS iWow 1.1.8). Removing that brought the CPU usage down to 0.1%. Usually I don't install 3rd party add-ons. This would seem to be a good policy.

Why are the following processes always using lots of memory?

Can someone tell me why the following processes are always using lots of memory and are always running?
kernel_task 280MB
java 300MB
clamd 120MB
mds 100MB
WindowServer 100MB
coreservicesd 60MB

Because they require that much memory and because the processes are always in use.
This is one reason why the minimum system memory requirement is 1 GB.
Now, you have one third-party process listed, clamd, which is used by ClamXAV anti-virus software. If you can uninstall it you will recover the memory needed by clamd.

Object tables/associative arrays are using lots of memory what is alternate

I'm using mostly object tables/associative arrays in my package and it is using lots of server memorey so i want to use a different technicque to save momorey .
like using create global temporary table or nested Table Store as or creating table run time at the start and droping it in the end .
do have any suggestion for this ?
for this package i'm retriving data from different table into object tables and do calculation in memorey before i send data to front end for reporting using reference cursor .
give me your suggetion or if you know any example code for this type of process using different technique please let us know .
thank you very much
regards
shailen Patel

You can create a global temporary table like this:
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE AR_TRIAL_RCPT(
LOC_ACCT_ID NUMBER(12),
ACCT_ID NUMBER(12),
CURRENCY_ID NUMBER(12),
AMT NUMBER(13,   4),
AMT_PRIMARY NUMBER(13,   4)
[ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS]
;If you want the table truncated on COMMITs leave out the part in brackets other wise leave off the brackets and the table won't be truncated until your session terminates or you explicitly truncate the table.
You can also define indexes, primary keys, foreign keys, check constraints, etc. on your temporary table if need be to improve processing.
Now when it comes to inserting into your newly minted global temporary table, you should be able to use one of insert statements from the following anonymous PL/SQL block:
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE AR_TRIAL_RCPT(
LOC_ACCT_ID NUMBER(12),
ACCT_ID NUMBER(12),
CURRENCY_ID NUMBER(12),
AMT NUMBER(13,   4),
AMT_PRIMARY NUMBER(13,   4)
--[ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS]
CREATE GLOBAL succeeded.

Adobe Reader 8 open pdf very slow and used lots of memory

I use the Adobe Reader 8 to open a pdf(the pdf size not bigger than 100k)
but when i open it, it take long time to load it and use so many memory,
also, i do not have this problem on using adobe reader 7, would any one know the reason?
Thx for everyone.

Alright, i know, you can't bare to part with it, you need it, etc.etc...
try here, its an adobe reader speed up program
http://software.bootblock.co.uk/?id=adobereaderspeedup
It's a bit old though.
Also, do you have the stupid adobe startup program for reader running? This speeds up the loading of adobe reader while simultaneously slowing down your whole system. Great tradeoff.
Get foxit!
Adobe sucks!

IDSM-2 using lots of memory

Hello.
I have question obout IDSM-2 which is using 98% of the memory.
Output from sh ver:
Using 1944629248 out of 1979682816 bytes of available memory (98% usage)
Using 4.3G out of 17G bytes of available disk space (27% usage)
It is normal that it is using 98% of memory durning normal operation or it is a problem ??
If it is not normal please tell me how i can trobuleshoot what is wrong with it.

This message is misleading because it includes the memory allocated to system processes as well as memory allocated to the cache. Because cache
memory is really "free" memory; it is available for allocation at any time.
This is actually a cosmetic bug that you're running into.
If you want to check during periods of what you believe to be high memory usage, you can login as the service user
(if you have not created a service user you can do so via:
1. Log in to using the "cisco" account, the prompt will look like:
sensor#
2. Enter configure terminal mode:
sensor# configure terminal
3. Create the service account:
sensor(config)# username service privilege service password xxx
Then login to the sensor as the service user, and run the 'free' command. What 'sh ver' reports is the 'used' column.
The "Mem:" row, "used" column is the amount of memory (in kilobytes) that the "show version" command reports. However, this total includes the "cached" amount.
The formula for calculating the actual memory being used is:
((used - cached) / total) * 100 = percent of actual memory used.

Why is Firefox 6 using a LOT of memory on Vista x64

Memory usage on FF6 is 40% higher than FF5. Also, I have a lag when changing pages on a website. This is extremely irritating and did not happen with the previous version.

Is it using a significant amount more resources than 6.0 did?
I noticed 6.0 is a VAST resource hog over 5.0 and earlier. It's a very bad flaw in the new version, and has a lot of people upset.
What has me curious is whether this is a new resource problem or whether it was present in 6.0 and you are just not noticing it.
One suggestion: Don't run BETA versions of ANY software on "all your machines". Not when rolling back the version is not an option. That's generally a bad idea, since beta versions are likely to have bugs.
With FF, now, I would never let it automatically update. I don't trust their new update policies, so I would suggest you turn "auto updates" to OFF, and do it manually, only after you hear the new release is stable, which we know 6.0 is NOT.

Bridge CS5 using lots of memory and give out-of-memory errors

Hi,
I'm using Bridge CS5 with the latest updates on Vista 32bit 4GB RAM on quad core machine.
Bridge memory seems to keep raising during the usage, browsing a new folder seems to raise it a bit and previewing files raise it alot, mainly when I preview a large 18MP files. (Bridge seems to not freeing the memory and re-use it... leaking(?) )
Very quickly the Bridge RAM usage is reaching about 1GB and at this point Bridge gives warnings that it can't generate 100% previews.
When I restart Bridge, it works fine for a while until the memory start raising again.
(It takes about 5-6 100% previews of 18MP files to reach that RAM usage - so the problem occurs rather quickly)
I've tried limiting the cache in the preferences and disable caching of 100% previews -- didn't help.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I've tried
a larger page file - no change.
(I doubt it will help as 32bit OS can't accessthat much memory anyways)
I'm not sure why you think it's a HD/page file problem? like I said, I don't have a speed problem of an issue with files not being cached.
My problem is that Bridge memory usage keep growing without any reason I can see - and at some point Bridge stops functioning correctly cause of it.
I deleted all my cache, and browsed a folder with under 1000 files, and after previewing about 5-6 files in 100% - bridge memory usage was close to 1GB.
currently my cache is set to 10000 files and not caching 100% previews.
Where did you find other peoping reporting on such a problem? I mostly find people reporting out-of-storag errors and crashes -- I have neither of those.
Thanks!

ITunes uses lots of CPU time when idle

When iTunes is just sitting there with my Music Library displayed, Activity Monitor shows it's using a pretty consistent 22-25% of CPU time. I look at Activity Monitor once in a while and I've never noticed this before. I don't know if it started when I upgraded to iTunes 7.4.2 or not. Other Macs I have access to use close to 0%. I have repaired permissions, checked the hard drive, and waved the other dead chickens over it without any change. Obviously this soaks up a lot of machine resources. Any clues or ideas would be welcome.
Steve

Never mind, I figured it out by myself. On this particular machine I had a 3rd party plug-in installed (SRS iWow 1.1.8). Removing that brought the CPU usage down to 0.1%. Usually I don't install 3rd party add-ons. This would seem to be a good policy.

Firefox using lot of memory

when I am on site with flash game or site with lot of images , or run youtube firefox use 3 GB of memory and crash , i reinstalled ff , run it in safe mode disabled every addonds and problem still remains .

I do not have a ComObjects folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files. That is not part of Firefox.
wscript.exe is a utility included with Windows to run scripts at the system level. It generally is not used by major programs. If update.exe is starting up with Windows, you may be able to find the script that wscript.exe is running using [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx Autoruns].
It definitely sounds viral. I suggest deleting the update.exe file, although Windows might prevent you from doing that until you kill all related processes. And if you have a persistent infection, the file may be restored or re-downloaded.
It might be easiest to seek assistance from a forum more dedicated to malware cleanups such as the following:

OSX Mail App uses lots of memory with Exchange change

A couple weeks back, we switched from exchange 2007 to exchange 2010.   The only change required on the OSX mail client was to change the server address.   I have two macbook pros, one is a 2GB early vintage intel, and the other a more recent 4GB model.   Both of them are configured for access to the exchange server.   Both are running 10.6.
Once the change was made, both clients started using huge amounts of memory.   This isn't a leak, as is reported in some Lion threads, because it eventually comes back down again.   When you start the client, it might use about 150MB of RAM.   After a while I have seen as much as 1.6GB of RAM usage on the 4GB machine.   If you take the exchange account out of the mix (disable it in preferences) the client consistently stays at about 75MB of RAM. The peak isn't limited by the client as far as I can tell -- it basically uses up all free memory and drives the system completly nuts.   Many of the applications no longer perform well once they are subjected to memory starvation, and this includes the mail client itself.
I am now running the activity window with Mail to see if I can spot a pattern, but in one case I watched Mail's memory usage grow in Activity Monitor with nothing in the Activity screen.
I aso tried creating a new account instance on the 4GB machine, but without any cached data the behavior was far worse. It very quickly consumes the entire machine and doesn't seem to return to normal.
I am firmly convinced this is a side effect of changing the exchange service or one of the exchange settings, if for no other reason than the behavior is new on two systems.   It's still unforgivable for the Mail client to do this -- if it can consume all available memory then it needs to monitor itself and defer or break up what it is trying to do.   I am a great fan of this mail client but this is so unusable that it might force me back to outlook running in a VM.
Any suggestions?

I did not get a solution from the community, but I can provide one.   However, mine was not a leak.   It would use over 2GB of RAM at times, but eventually return to 150MB or so for a while, then back up again.   I shouldn't have taken it to the genius bar, rather I should have just filed a bug.   I have not done that yet because I have resolved it.   I eventually just bit the bullet and deleted absolutely everything associated with the account. Every cache, every plist, everything I could find.   I did not capture the specifics unfortunately, because at the time I wasn't even convinced it would work, but I had no other option.   Starting with a totally new account after that, it went through a period of about 24 hours where it would still use a lot of RAM, but then settled in.   It's been well behaved now for a number of weeks.
I would be curious if your RAM usage ever decreases, and if you try the same solution if it works for you.
Good luck.

Ore program makes my Java Program crash, which uses lots of memory (Urgent

I use a very huge HashMap to calculate something, and the HashMap size
may be increased dynamically.
And I start the program with -Xms300M -Xmx300M (The OS is Win2000).
When I start some programs which may use more memory , My program shows
that the free memory is absolutely enough , but suddenly, The thread to
handle the HashMap seems to be hanged, and the free memory is shown to be
reduced continuously.
At this time, I can't stop the program, Sometimes I can't kill it by the
Task Management Manager.
It seems that my java program is robbed with physical memory, and
encounter memory problem, and can't restore from it?
Would you please tell me how to fix this problem?
Thank you very much!

Help Please..Until recently I have owed 2 iPod Classics - 2007 80gb and 2009 160gb (which has since been returned). How do I transfer the library from the 160 to the 80gb in iTunes using Windows Vista (ie merge the 2 libraries)? Thanks

Until recently I have owed 2 iPod Classics - 2007 80gb and 2009 160gb (which has since been returned as it had a very noisy hard drive).
How do I transfer the library from the 160gb to the 80gb in iTunes using Windows Vista.
Nothing seems to help on the Apple support pages, so any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, but not actually sure how to sync a second iPod with the library of the first, as I thought it would not recognise a new iPod for copyright reasons.
Also, the files are in a location on the pc but I had to do lots of formatting amendments in iTunes as most of the stuff was on mp3 files and the formatting was all over the place. I did not want to loose any of the work by simply asking the new iPod to look at the original file and would rather copy en masse from one device to another.
Any help or pointers greatly appreciated
Thanks

My ituneshelper.exe is using a lot of memory.

My ituneshelper.exe is using a lot of memory. I-tunes is not running and my I-pod is not attached.
Is there anything I can do about this? Can I stop this from loading at start-up and only load when I open I-tunes?
If so .. how???

The best thing to do is uninstall iTunes and install turn to him, but another look from thedownload page do not you reinstall the exe you have already installed ahy maybe youriTunes installer is in bug

ScanToPCActivationApp.exe is using a lot of memory even though the printer is off.

ScanToPCActivationApp.exe is using a lot of memory even though the printer is off.
Upon computer boot up, Task Manager shows it is using 45mb, and after researching this topic using IE, 10 minutes later it now shows it is using 74 mg, although it did go down to 33 mg a few minutes later, then back up to 51 mg a few minutes after that.
Is there a way to keep it from using so much memory when the printer is turned off?.
I am running Windows 7 on a Samsung Series 7 laptop and my printer is an HP 8600 All-in-one. I do use ePrintCenter occasionally, and also have a MacBook Pro (running Mountain Lion), and iPhone 4 (running the latest IOSupdate) and all devices connect to the printer wirelessly.
Please let me know if there is more info that you require. Thank you in advance!

My iPod 4G, after reset and iOS 6 install, now has only some album art after syncing music. Even music directly downloaded from iTunes is missing album art. (I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista)

My iPod 4G, after a reset and iOS6 install, after I recopied and synced music, is missing most album art. Even songs directly downloaded from iTunes are missing album art. I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista. My iPod isn't full. Whenever I go to "On This iPod" and add album art and sync, nothing happens. Please help :/

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
