Lightroom and CS3 Simultaneously - How much memory?

I've been trying to use Lightroom's image management features, but need to finish the "keepers" in CS3. The problem is my computer only has 2G of RAM, and both Lightroom and CS3 are giant memory hogs. Has anyone been able to successfully run both programs at the same time (with reasonably complicated PS files consisting of a dozen layers or so) ?
If so, how much memory does it take? 4G 8G?
Thanks,
--Michael

The wording of your question seems to suggest that your setup has issues with running Lr and Ps simultaneously. Disk thrashing? Memory swapping? Slow performance? What is your machine configuration?
I have an Intel Dual 2 Core machine with 2Gb RAM and routinely run Lr (on Canon 20D raw files), Ps CS3 beta, Bridge, email client, and Firefox web client all at the same time with little issue.
And have you consulted Adobe's knowledge base for performance tips?

I have IMac OSX 10.9.4, 4GB,Processor 3.06 with Intell2Duo. I would like to check for Malware. I run a TechTool Pro 6 every month and that comes up great.
When check how much memory I am using, with only Safari open I am using 3.9 and more of her 4.0 memory. She is very. very slow in processing. I had 4000
trash to clean out and it took her over an hour to expel. Also for some reason Safari will not allow me to click on a link, in my G-mail, and let it go to the page.
It has a sign saying a pop-up blocker is on and will not let me do it. I must open the stamp to look at my e-mails and if I have redirected link now I can do it.
I have not changed my preferences so where is this pop-up blocker?
I have looked at preferences on Safari and Google, which I do not understand Google, and do not see where this blocker could be.
Malware is something I want to make sure is not on my computer. Tech Tool Pro 6 is all I know of and it does not detect Malware.
Help.

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.

I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to be able to use iCloud, but need Lion which is too big. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to Lion, in order to use iCloud, but the specs indicate I don't have enough memory. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

I believe your model iMac can address 3 GB RAM; the minimum for Lion is 2 GB - however, that is an absolute minimum for very light use. You would be much happier with a minimum of 4 GB.

(You can install 4 GB, but it will only be able to address about 3.1 - 3.2 GB)

How do I see how much memory is being taken up by programs and how do I delete the ones I don't need.

Is there a way I can see how much memory each program is taking up and then how do I delete the ones I don't want to use.

Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It will show all of your files and the respective sizes. Delete and transfer what you do not want or need on your HDD.
Ciao.

How much memory does Tiger and Leopold use?

Hi
How much memory do both Tiger and Leopold require themselves to run?

Not much. I've run Tiger and Leopard with only 512 MB (1 GB machine with
512 MB for OS-X and 512 MB allocated to a virtual machine running Win XP).
They get really slow with a lot of page-outs if you open more than one app,
but they do run. The standard 1 GB (with no VMs) is comfortable for web
browsing and even iPhoto -- as long as you don't open too many apps at
the same time.

How much memory for the G5 2.7?

I am buying a refurbished G5 2.7 from Apple.
The primary application will be Pro Tools HD2 for audio mixing.
QUESTIONS:
(1) How much memory will I likely need? 2GB? 4GB?
(2) I will buy the memory from Crucial. Should I remove the original memory and use only the Crucial 1GB pairs, so they are matched?
Powermac G5 2.7 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

No need to remove the original RAM.
How much to install depends on how you'll be using ProTools. If it's only audio (no sample players), 2GB would probably work perfectly. If you're using samplers heavily, with lots of large samples, you might want to go to 5-6GB.
I'd start with 4GB, RAM for these is cheap (compared to RAM for the Mac Pro.)

My mac is runnug out of disk space. Do /i need to by external drives? how much memory should i get

My imac is running out of disk space. I download a lot of media from itunes. The HD movies and TV shows use so much space. Should I switch to the cloud, clean up my memory or buy an external memory drive? If i get an external drive how much memory is suggesyed? 1TB, 2TB or more?

Buy an external hard drive on which to save your media. The drive should be large enough to handle your entire iTunes Library plus how much you would anticipate adding to the library over the next few years. Then backup your existing library to the external drive: iTunes- Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
After you have backed up the library to the external drive you can configure iTunes to use the library on the external drive in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced. Change the path to the external drive. Once you do that quit and relaunch iTunes. It should now be using the library on the external drive. Now you can delete the library on the internal hard drive to free up the space.

How much memory can I install in my mac book pro?

Mac book pro 2.4 GHz late 2011 i7....How much memory can I install? Currently have 4Gb but want to run Win 7 on VMware and want to make sure my user has enough

The position of Apple is that the Late 2011 can take 8 GB, however, OWC, http://www.macsales.com and Crucial, http://www.crucial.com both guarantee their 16 GB ram packages to work. Both are sellers of high quality ram that is guaranteed to work in Macs.

How much memory can I put in my MacBook?

Hey,
I have a MacBook.
Processor 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
and I am wondering how much memory I can put in the thing.
By day my wife uses it for work and pictures and stuff and by night I use it for DJing so I need AS MUCH space as possible.
Thank you for your time!!
~JM~

Up to 6gb although 4gb would be cheaper http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook/White/2.13GHz

How much memory can i put in my imac

how much memory can i put in my new imac

Assuming it's a 27" 2012 machine, it will accomodate up to 32GB. I'd strongly recommend reputable vendors such as OWC (www.macsales.com) or Crucial.
If you bought a 21.5" iMac the RAM is not upgradeable. The 21.5" machines will accomodate up to 16GB from Apple however you have to order the machine with 16GB directly. OWC does provide RAM upgrade kits for the 2012 210.5" iMacs however it is MAJOR surgergy and is full of risks including fatally damaging the machine and invalidating the warranty.

How can I check how much memory is on my external hard drive after I plug it in. What are the steps I need to go through?

Im looking for a specific how to on checking how much memory I have left on and external HD. Any help would be wonderful.
V/R
Chris

If you're on your Mac OS, click on the little Apple sign in the top left corner of the screen and select About This Mac. Then, if you have your external HD plugged in, go to Storage, and there you should see all HDs (internal and external, USBs, etc) space and how much you have left on them. On a Windows OS, just go to My Computer to see.

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.
