Keynote eating all memory.

I'm having a weirdly horrifying problem with Keynote. Recently (as in, starting with a presentation I did on June 6th), Keynote has started to gorge itself on memory.
I have a Macbook Pro (recent model) with 3G of memory, OSX 10.5.3, Keynote '08 4.0.3. When I start keynote, I have about 1.6G of memory free (which, with little else running, is pretty horrible in and of itself) according to X Resource Graph. I have pretty hefty presentations (the one of the 6th was 140M, the one I gave today is 450M), because I have lots of video clips, sometimes 3 or 4 on a slide. One of the reasons I love Keynote is getting to have lots of little videos playing simultaneously.
I've been using Keynote since it came out, and have never had problems before.
But now, with Keynote the only thing running (I've tested that), every time I do anything (switch slides, edit something, play a show) it consumes a bit more memory; sometimes it just sits there (like a few minutes ago, when I was doing nothing and memory was disappearing at the rate of about 4M a second!).
The problem, obviously, is that when memory is gone, the machine starts thrashing, which is a huge problem during a presentation! On the 6th, I had no idea what was causing it, so it happened when the presentation started (because I'd had keynote open for a while, doing some last minute edits). Today, I quit and restarted Keynote before starting my talk, and 45 minutes in, memory was gone (show freezes, etc ...)
Restarting Keynote fixes things, of course (back up to 1.6G memory), but it soon happens again. Has anyone else seen this??

AdobeCrashDaemon eats all memory

Hi,
I believe it started happening after I installed CS5.5:
After running for some time, AdobeCrashDaemon eatch all available memory and basically makes the computer non-operational.
Quitting AdobeCrashDaemon from Activity Monitor solves the issue... that is until AdobeCrashDaemon eats all memory again.
It occupies some 4.8 GB of Real Memory (Mac Pro 2x2.66 GHz, 7GB RAM, Mac OS X 10.5.8).
I usually have InDesign, Photoshop and Dreamweaver open + open other versions of InDesign sometimes).
I hope this issue can be solved ASAP because it's impossible to work like this.
Thanks,
Leo

This is worth a try (I've never had or heard of such a problem) because sometimes preference files become corrupt.
If you go to this path:
Users > [yourname] > Library > Preferences
You'll see there is a preference file for the Adobe Crash Daemon named "com.adobe.crashreporter.plist"
Try moving that to the Desktop, then restart your computer. It will probably be recreated when needed which might fix the problem.

ICal sudden extreme lag and eating up all memory in week mode

This was intented to be a question but I found out the answer by the time I finished writing it so if someone out there gets the same problem, I hope this can help them.
I use iStudiez for all my school stuff so I didn't use iCal a lot recently. However, when opening it today, everytime I tried changing weeks in week mode, iCal would lag badly and stop responding for several seconds, eating all the available RAM in the process. I tried to force quit, but the problem reappeared every time.
Turns out iCal doesn't seem to handle "long" events very well. I had a "Nothing" event starting on December 21st, 2012 and ending several years later, and deleting it caused the lagging to stop. I guess iCal tries to load the whole event when it appears in the week view.
Hope this post helps someone or alerts Apple to issue a fix. (I use the latest version of iCal on the latest build of OSX, which as of today is iCal 6.0 on OS X 10.8.2)

Is there a solution yet for FCPX eating all the RAM?

FCPX is eating all my RAM and 'Memory Clean' keeps having to kick in so that the system doesnt stop completely. I have searched various forums and sites for an answer but noone seems to have a solution yet.
My events and projects are all on external (7200rpm) drives, I use Event Manager X to only open what I need per project, and background processing is off, but the RAM just keeps diving down until the system almost freezes. Very frustrating, especially if a client is present.
Yes, I've trashed the preferences.
umm...help?

I do not believe that MC is capable of purging Video RAM thus the memory on your graphic card.
There are two RAM problems with FCPx or should I say OS X 10.6 & 10.7
10.6 & 10.7 does a bad job (10.6 worse than 10.7) @ setting RAM Free. This problem shows itself when overall system performance (I.e. opening a WIndow in the Finder) becomes a matter of 10 seconds etc...
There there is the Video RAM problem which is pertaining to FPCx and all versions of OS X. This problems shows itself after working intensively in FPCx... All one needs to do is to do LOTS of editing in the Timeline... On my setup with 1GB of Video RAM it will take approx. (depending on how many tasks (Edits) I am completing) 20 minutes to reveal itself. To begin with (after opening FCPX) it simply flies. No matter what I do, there is no lag just a VERY responsive app... Then after those 20 min. the CTI (Playhead) starts lagging and jumping in play. The skimmer starts choking, menus (Inspector etc) are opening at turtle-tempo... However, my Free System RAM is still @ about 10 GB.... so lots and lots of RAM... The video RAM is what is being used and NOT SET FREE.
Rebooting the Mac at this point is the only remedy. Which is OK... My rMBP boots in 7 seconds. So I am rebooting approx. every 30 minutes in a big session.
Whenever you guys experience these problems, try to take 5 minutes to recap and write to the Feedback. The more scenarios we can provide them with the better their chances of finding the culprit.
I personally find the FCPx crew to be HIGHLY responsive to feedback. THEY def. care

Something is eating the memory!

I used to have 30g of memory, and today I only have 500mb!
I got my first message: 'Your start up disk is almost full' yesterday.
Over the past few months something has slowly been eating it. I upgraded to Panther a good 6 months ago and also downloaded Office:Mac. I have a couple of third party games on the system, such as GameHouse. Could any of these have given me a bug that eats the memory?
Please help!
Cheers,
Maria

Hello Adam ( or Maria )
Running a disk with so little space is asking for trouble. A minimum of 10 - 15% is generally considered the safe level of free space.
I would strongly suggest that you ditch some file you know can be easily replaced. ( Music for example ) Repair permissions from disk utilities, re-start, then download this Application to tell you what has eaten all the space...

Post back if you need more.

ITunes eating up memory and disabling network in win7

Hello everyone.
Im a new user of the iPod Touch 1G (gf gift). Thing is, i just installed iTunes, and when syncing my iPod, iTunes seems to simply eat up all memory available (2gB RAM) until all computer gets to a standstill. I cant even restart.
Any ideas?
Thank in advance....

I have the same issue, and happens everyday and I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate.

Can't restore iphone 4s after ios7 update, pc keeps eating hd memory, but not restoring?!

I have an iphone 4s and just updated to ios7. However after the update, when I tried to restore my old settings from the backup (which is on my pc), the iphone started eating hd memory until I was left with 28kilobytes of free space. Naturally, I got the low disk space error and the process stopped. Now I can't restore my settings on the updated iphone and I have no memory left on C:\
Please help!

Iphone 5 locked into an Apple screen this morning.
Followed like 5 different suggestions from this forum, regarding connecting to Itunes and restoring.
All attempts on Windows and MAC, Itunes is up to date.
Itunes extracts the software, contacts apple for verification, an then " Notification of error 40".
I have tried this like 15 times now, and nothing is working.
Any real help, beside following an article that I probably already attempted would be appreciated.
thank you

Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation uses up all memory

Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation uses up all memory. 12Gb. Task manager shows it continuously soaking up memory at about 0.5MB/sec. until its all used up. Killing the process restores memory and stops all sound until I log off and on again when the process starts devouring memory again.

Should all memory slots on my imac have the same amount of memory

should all memory slots on my imac have the same amount of memory

For your model, that would mean to match them horizontally; in newer iMacs with vertical RAM installation, they should be matched: slot 1 + 3, and slots 2 + 4 (which, oddly enough, will result in the same picture if your check the RAM in system info).

I want to upgrade my software, but it says I need more start up memory. I keep my stuff on an external hard drive so I don't know what is eating my memory. How can I check this?

How can I figure out what is eating my memory so I can upgrade my software?

Do you mean disk storage space or physical RAM? The latter is memory, not the former. If you mean the former:
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
If you mean RAM, then you have to add more to the computer which is not possible on Air models.

Can't use all memory for VM

Hi!
I have Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 with 16 Gb RAM. I created two VM with 7162 Mb of fixed memory on each. But i can't start both of them. When i tried start second vm i got out of memory error. Why?
PS C:\Users\Administrator> ( Get-WMIObject Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName localhost ).FreePhysicalMemory
8184452
PS C:\Users\Administrator> start-vm oldBSD
start-vm : 'oldBSD' could not initialize. (Virtual machine ID 05EA5A45-601F-4CC0-8770-62B97571D8F8)
Not enough memory in the system to start the virtual machine oldBSD with ram
size 7168 megabytes. (Virtual machine ID 05EA5A45-601F-4CC0-8770-62B97571D8F8)
The server ran out of available memory.
Max memory value for second machine is 5740Mb, but with it i have
PS C:\Users\Administrator> ( Get-WMIObject Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName
localhost ).FreePhysicalMemory
2243312
How i can use all memory? My idea is use 7 Gb of memory for each machine and 1.5-2 Gb for host.

Hi maxx-ode,
As far as I know ,to get free memory you still need to subtract the "standby memroy" from the output of the command in your original post .
Please refer to the article "Memory Sizing Guidance for Windows 7" within the link below :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windows/hardware/dn550976
" Standby List
The Standby list contains unmodified pages that have been removed from process working sets, which effectively makes the Standby list a cache. If a process needs a page that is on the Standby list, the memory manager immediately returns the page to its
working set.
All pages on the Standby list are available for memory allocation requests. If a process requests memory, the memory manager can take a page from the Standby list, initialize it, and allocate it to the calling process. This is called repurposing a page.
Pages on the Standby list are often from recently used files. By keeping these pages on the Standby list, the memory manager reduces the need to read information from the disk. Disk reads
can decrease system responsiveness. "
Please try to use this command to get the "real" free memory of host (in bytes):
(Get-WmiObject Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Memory -ComputerName localhost).FreeAndZeroPageListBytes
"Free & Zero Page List Bytes is the amount of physical memory, in bytes, that is assigned to the free and zero page lists. This memory does not contain cached data. It is immediately available for allocation to a process or for system use.
Update: Actually we can allocate some standby RAM to VM , based on my test I can't allocate whole standby RAM .Then I used
RAMMap to check the usage and I found that Mapped file occupied most RAM .For mapped file please refer to following link:

60 gb video Windows XP Pro

Store agent started to transfer large amounts of data, eating all my bandwidth. Seemed to just start 5-6 days ago.

About5-6 days ago store agent started to continuously run, sending and receiving large amounts of data. This eats all my bandwidth quickly, essentially rendering my internet access worthless since I have to use satellite internet. I have tried stopping it in the Activity Monitor , but it restarts again. I thought I might have had a virus or something. I downloaded trend micro for Mac, but found its core services essentially did the same thing. I uninstalled, but found that store agent is still running non stop. Ideas?

The storeagent process is a normal part of Mac OS X, not a virus. Remove Trend Micro, which is a quite poor choice for protecting yourself against malware in the first place (see the results of my Mac anti-virus testing 2014), and which isn't really necessary anyway (see my Mac Malware Guide).
As for what it might be doing, as babowa points out, it should be present when the App Store app is open, and at that time, it might be occupied with downloading updates or something similar. If you keep force-quitting it in Activity Monitor, that probably ruins whatever download it was working on, so it has to start all over again, perpetuating the cycle. In general, it is a very bad idea to force-quit processes that are part of Mac OS X without a very good reason and an understanding of what they are.
Go to System Preferences -> App Store:
You will probably want to turn off automatic download of newly available updates, as well as automatic download of apps purchased on other Macs (if you have other Macs). I do not advise turning off the master "Automatically check for updates" box, or the one for installing security updates, as disabling those will reduce the security of your system. These security updates are typically small, so they should have very little impact on your total internet usage.

HT1338 why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Log out and log back in. Any change?
Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
