Lightroom 5.3 uses all my memory. Please help!
I have been using Lightroom, since the very beginning. I love it and can't imagine working without it. However, since Lightroom 4, I have been having problems with it sucking up all my memory. I keep upgrading hoping it will get better, but it only seems to get worse. I have a macbook pro that's only 1 1/2 years old. I have plenty of memory, but as soon as I start using Lightroom, things go downhill. My only solution so far is shutting down Lightroom every half hour or so and then re-opening it. Sometimes it will slow down my computer so much that it freezes completely. I really can't work like this. I am reaching out hoping someone can help. I have optimized my Lightroom catalog. Any other suggestions? I don't have this problem with Photoshop or anything else. Thanks so much!
Hey Geoff, thanks so much for your reply! My operating system now is OS X. The files that I am using are usually on external hard drives, but I have the same problem when working on files stored on my computer.
My other computer info:
Processor - 2GHz Intel Core i7
Memory - 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
I usually have browser windows and various things open and start with about 4 GB free. Whatever is free, Lightroom will just eat it up. I really appreciate any advice. It is impossible to work like this.
Many Thanks!
Victoria

Inactive memory takes all the memory - please help
I have a Macbook Pro - August 2009, upgraded version to 2.66 MHZ, advance display card, Dual core.
I recently upgraded the RAM to 8GB (Kingston) to clear more memory for my massive application use, the thing is it didn't solve anything because the issue I had problems with - Inactive Memory, wasn't resolved.
Inactive memory supposed to hold the memory for the apps you closed in case you'll run them once again, but it NEVER clears the memory, I can see the "blue" color taking all the free mem and the computer slows down! no free mem what so ever.
Now the Inactive mem grows enormously and gets to be more than 4GB, it has the same effect, the memory runs out!
Is there a way to fix it? I'm going crazy with that.. what a terrible design!
iFreeMem doesn't work on the 8GB, I'm at a loss..
Please help!
Thanks,
Eli.Sounds like you have never done a PRAM reset or a SMC reset. Do both and see if this helps:
_SMC RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
• On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
• Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
_PRAM RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
• Release the keys.

While 10.2 might help, there's not much you can do on the Internet these days with less than 10.4.11
Tiger Requirements...
To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
* A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
* Built-in FireWire
* At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
* DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
* At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools (I recommend 20GB minimum)

When I plug my iPod into the computer, itunes won't come up on the screen and my iPod is not recognized anymore and it use to be. Please help because I can't sync it at all because it won't show up as a device on the right hand side of itunes.
Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?

Xsan secondary MDC using all its memory
The secondary MDC, uses all its memory over about 12-24 hours (depending on use) and slows to a crawl kicking all the NFS clients. I need to reboot it to return the SAN to service.
We solved this previously by hosting the Volume on the opposite head from the MDC that was running the SmallTree Card and hosting the NFS client connections.
Two MDCs, 1 promise Vtrak tray (16tbs) running 10.6.4, 12 GBs of RAM each.
Our volume is hosted by the other MDC, (the one that uses up it's RAM) is the NFS connection for all clients.
Cujo:(12GBs)
Hosting Volume
Primary MDC
Jack: (the one running out of RAM (12GBs))
SmallTree 4 Port Card
NFS connections
Secondary MDC
Both running 10.6.4
I am getting this in /Library/Filesystems/Xsan/data/SHARE/logcvlog on the MDC hosting the volume:
(But not sure it's related.)

actually, the server is not releasing Inactive Memory. I had to purge the inactive mem cache to release some of the RAM. Not sure why the system is not doing it.
10 GBs (out of 12) of RAM is inactive, that doesn't seem right to me. -
CS5 not using all available memory/CPU
I'm sure this is the opposite complaint you usually get, but for some reason AME will only sometimes use all available memory/CPU power. I'm on an 8 core Mac Pro, and while AME will sometimes register as using ~%1,000 CPU and just blitz through videos, other times it hovers around %100 and processes at regular speed. Right now, for example, it's using about 600 MB of memory, leaving over 3.6 GB free. Is there any way to assure that it always runs at max speed?
There's another thread with a similar set of issues. Other than the disk subsystem, there is another possibility for the bottleneck. That is, the codecs that are used to decode the input video files may not be efficiently multithreaded. Hence the codec responsible for creating the output file, the CPU and the disk subsystem all could be lightning fast and collectively they may all be waiting for frames to be served up by the decoder. You can check whether the disk subsystem is the bottleneck by creating a RAM disk (assuming that you have enough system RAM) and both putting all input files on and writing the output files to the RAM drive.

Hi,
Due to my brother locking me out of my ipod touch I had to wait an hour to log in again. Unfortunately when I did this, I, again put in the wrong password twice more, each time locking me out for a further 60 minutes. On my 3rd attempt to log in the wrong password was entered again. This time though instead of logging me out for another 60mins it now tells me to "connect to itunes" but I have no idea how to do this and I am now unable to use my ipod. Please help.See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212

There are a couple of things that you can do yourself before taking your machine into an Apple Store or an AASP... download and run an application named Rember that will run a RAM test for you - let it run for a couple of hours or even overnight. If it turns out that your RAM is faulty, Rember will let you know. If it is faulty, then you have a couple of options - replace the RAM yourself or (particularly if you're under warranty still) take the machine to an Apple Store or AASP and have them replace the RAM.
If Rember finds no fault with the RAM, then you'll need to take it into an Apple Store/AASP and get a free diagnosis on the machine. Three beeps do usually indicate faulty RAM, but if it tests good with Rember you likely have another problem - it could be something as simple as the RAM, somehow, not seated correctly or signs of another hardware problem.
Run Rember first... call back with results.
Good luck,

My iPHONE 5 wifi is NOT working when am 3 feet away from router while my iPhone 4s has full signal all the time.Please help.
The problem would seem to be in the firewall in your router. Have you tried disabling it? I assume you've updated the router firmware, right? Consider bypassing the ISP provided router (using it as a modem only) and unsing another device such as an Aiport Express.

Hi, I have tried to restore settings on my Iphone due to problems I was having with the phone cutting out when talking on the phone, now Iphone shows Sim Failure, how can I get back to using my phone? Please help, its a business phone.
Hi jclarke64,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear that your iPhone 4s was lost, and glad that you were able to upgrade.
If your iPhone 4s was backed up to iCloud or using iTunes, you can restore the backed up data to your new phone.
See the steps in this article for help with restoring from a backup:

HiHi can you please help me to fix my iPhone 5 when I update it to the iOS 6.1.2 my carrier signal indicator states searching all the time please help me what to do
Hi Samantha,
Are you aware that if you restore your ipad that you will lose all data from your ipad and very difficult to get it back unless you had previously made a back-up of your data on itunes or in the cloud. and that would be on the computer you set those up on. (There are some independent apps out there that might help restore data but I don't have any experience with them...)
Also, I think if you restore on another computer you're supposed to have administrator rights and have the latest itunes update. And I think if you sync (if restoring is considered syncing with another computer, you'll be locked out of your computer or a new one.)
I don't know if there is a way for you to safely eject your ipad from your mom's laptop and find another way, but please read this
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
Also, I suggest you start a new post and title it something like First, stuck on update and now on Restore on another computer. Please HELP! And then tell the story of your problem that you originally included and your follow-up efforts to restore given a suggestion on previous post (though I think you SHOULD AVOID RSTORE if you can.) And refer them to your original post
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22050045?ac_cid=tw123456#22050045
Hope this helps and if you can get back to your ios before the upgrade, stay with it. I hope it all works out for you.
FYI - If it's a new or refurb bought within the past year you might be able to have it replaced by Apple.
