Logic doesen't make use of all my ram cap capacity

Why doesn't use logic 9 all of my ram memory?
For example i have the abbey road drums and that is generally knwon that it needs very much memory. But when i play it the memory load is only 1.5 GB. But i have 8 GB memory. Why it doesen't make use of all the memory?
And how is it in your set up?
Thanks for reply.. regards..

Logic uses 1.5 GB because that is all it needs. RAM allocation in Logic is dynamic. It doesn't claim 8 GB when it only needs 1.5. Just create more tracks and load more AR drums, and no doubt you'll see the amount of RAM Logic uses, increase. Provided you are running it in 64 bit mode, of course. Otherwise (in 32 bit mode) it'll start whining ("my memory is getting low!") somewhere between 2 and 3 GB.

Maybe you are looking to re-purpose this equipment versus getting rid of it if so, the best thing to do is search the internet for tutorials. And I say this because it's what I would do, there are a lot of tutorials online. Hope you can find good use for them. Worse case scenario if you can't find something right now, package them very nicely and when you come across something unbox and enjoy. I've re-purposed a mac color classic and LOVE IT!!

Mavericks uses upp all my ram help ?

I have 8 GB of ram installed and mavericks seems to use it all up. The memory cache as per activity monitor seems to keep all the data in it until all RAM is used up and then makes free space. I know restarting my MacBook Pro would clear the memory, but I would like to know if there is an alternative? Can anyone please help. I know my RAM is good and my the hard drive I have installed is an SSD. So this problem is really crippling the potential of my system. Thanks in advance for your help ..

Maybe we need to see what you have on your system as there is nothing about the way Mavericks is handling your RAM. This is the way OS X's RAM allocation works now.
OS X Mavericks will use all of the available RAM and dole out that available RAM to other applications, as needed.
Maybe your issues are elsewhere.
It would help us to help you if we could have some more technical info about your iMac.

Does PRE10 64-bit REALLY make use of any extra RAM?

I am in the middle of a DVD Burn to Folder with Premier Elements 10 64-bit (installed on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit). I have 5 gigs of RAM but according to Task Manager only 2.11 gigs total are in use. Soooo....does the advertised benefit of being able to make use of more RAM really exist? In theory it should, but I feel a bit duped by what I'm seeing.

After taking a closer look at all the Physical Memory items under the Performance tab in Task Manager as well as the Memory tab in Resource Monitor, I realized I didn't quite understand memory usage like I thought I did. I did a bit of Internet searching on the subject and ran across http://brandonlive.com/2010/02/21/measuring-memory-usage-in-windows-7/ which did a good job of clearing things up.
While the Memory bar graph in Task Manager>Performance was showing only 2.11 gigs being used it showed nearly as much memory being Cached. Apparently the two values have to be added in order to determine the total amount of data actually in RAM. The cached data is information that is not currently being dealt with by the processor and held in RAM rather than being written to a page file on the hard drive. Apparently all of my RAM (except for a few MB's) was in use after all.
I am working with VHS captured video that was captured in an H.264 format. Since it is SD video I guess that would help to explain the lower amount of Physical Memory actually in use than what I expected.
Live and learn...
As far as the 5 GB of RAM...yeah it is a bit peculiar. The computer is an older Dell XPS 600 with a Dual-Core 3GHz Pentium and an 800 MHz bus. It originally had 4GB of RAM (Four 1GB sticks). I came into posession of a 2GB stick of RAM and had to pull one of the existing 1GB sticks to use it. So the three original 1GB sticks plus the "newer" 2GB stick gave me a total of 5GB's.

Safari using up all the RAM

if I leave Safari open for an hour just regularly browsing sites, Safari and its other process Safari Web Content will use up all the available RAM on my computer. I have 4GB total, and eventually Safari will use up all the rest, usually 1-2GB. Any idea what's going on here? I have adblockers, such as Glimmerblocker, and extensions in Safari but they didn't affect Safari this much before 5.1/Lion.

Using Lion on 17" MacBook Pro -
I don't know about MDS - don't know what it is - but after seeing available HD space disappear gradually down to nothing when using computer - I tried all sorts of disk cleaning utilities - and have found that ---- AT THE LEAST --- gian swapfiles are engulfing the var/vm folder, taking up that HD space.
I read elsewhere that this is a Safari memory management problem.
Is it also MDS, whatever that is?
Is there a solution?
Sometimes restarting or doing shutdown and restart helps.
Sometimes the same HD space remains disappeared.
HELP!

Itunes is using up all my RAM.

I have ripped my collection of dvds onto my computer. I also have videos from my video camera that I have put onto my computer. When i try to edit there info in itunes it takes a very long time. I have also noticed that I will open up itunes with 2 GB of ram and as soon as I edit the info my ram will drop down to 8 MB or lower. I then force quit itunes (before the files are even updated) and my ram will only go back up to 128 mb.
Does anyone have any idea what this can be?
I have been putting movies onto my computer for about 4 years now, and this is the first time this has aver happened.
I just downloaded the latest version on itunes last night. This problem was also on the previous version.

I am experiencing the same issue when ever I add a Genera iTune Pinwheels and starts using up all of my system memory. I took my computer to the apple store and they found that I had a bad Ram module. I will see if the issue persist after the new ram module come in. I hope it will fix the issue if not I will have to try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. What software are you using to copy the DVD I wonder if it is the software we are using to get the DVD to the Mac.

Computer doesn't make use of all his power...!?

I guess that my mac pro don't uses all of his computing-power. I have a quite new mac-pro, 2x2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 2GB 800 Mhz memory. Before this, i had a G5 daul 2.5Ghz, but so far i couldn't notice the enhanced computing power.
Could it be possible that something blockade the power? I use my mac pro for musicproduction with logic. Sometimes logic crashes with an overload message. But when i see the CPU-load window, only one of the eight cpu load indication is overloaded, and the other seven are not even in use.
Does anybody know whats going on here?
regards... alex

This problem occures very likely due to the single-threaded
architecture of your Logic-Version, meaning approx that this
app's tasks/operations can only be processed by one cpu.
Many apps (especially the older) aren't optimized (or bad-coded)
for multi-core/-cpu-Workstations like our Mac Pros.
Therefore they can only utilize 1/8 of the potential raw power
they could provide.
We're all in the same boat, as we all expect and hope our favourite
apps to get more out of our machines aka "go multi-threaded".
The newest logic-Version should at least take advantage of two cores.

What's using up all my RAM?

Hey all,
I've got a MBP Late Mid-2011 with 8GB of RAM. In the Activity Monitor, it says I am using up nearly all of my 8GB - but on what? I cannot seem to figure this out, and it is seriously slowing my machine down like crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated...screeshot below:

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

Command + Scrub using up all my RAM

Hi,
I am using after effects CC 2014.
I am creating a small animation and am trying to sync it with Audio so am using the Command + Scrub feature to playback audio and animated sequence.
It works fine, but as I scrub, my RAM is drastically eaten away at until it runs out of RAM, it takes about 10mins until it is all gone.
I have looked everywhere for an answer to this issue but can't find anything.
I have purged all memory and this gives back about 200MB, but After effects still enslaves 3.8GB of RAM.
Without Audio Scrubbing the RAM usage stays nice and low, somewhere After Effects is holding the Audio files hostage in the RAM I assume.
How can I purge this from my RAM, only option currently is to quit after effects and reopen every 10-15mins.
I am only using 8GB ram but it is a simple animation using Illustrator Files.
Thanks

Wait -- when you're scrubbing audio, you're just getting the timing down. Who needs images? Use a marker on a layer. Then remove the Caps Lock and animate to those markers. Done.
But truth be know, you have other issues going on that NOBODY can address in a helpful manner without additional information:

Why is Safari Using up All My RAM?

I've read, and posted various topics related to this issue, and have not yet seen any answers to this.
Some say "why is this a problem"? Well, this is a problem if all I'm basically running is Safari, Mail, & maybe iTunes, and the Activity Monitor shows:
Safari - using 662.30 MB of "Real RAM", & (really) 24.62GB of Virtual Memory (& it's gone as high as 135 GB) which is ABSURD!
Plus, even though I'm using 1.09GB of "Active memory", & 680.14MB is "Inactive", they are added, to show 1.96 GB of Used memory, leaving me a whole 35.86 MB of memory left!
Thus, I get big slowdowns, some programs won't even work, etc.... I empty the cache constantly, use flash only on the windows I'm choosing to activate flash for, thus it forces me to close Safari, or use Firefox if I need to use any other programs! This is very frustrating, and would love to hear if anyone has either a fix for this, or at least a rational explanation as to why Safari is using up nearly all of my available memory. (it would be nice if my iMac could hold more than 2GBs)...

HI,
If an application freezes or crashes, and you need to Force Quit, use the Activity Monitor.
Safari VM on my iMac runs about 146MB. Are you absolutely certain it says: 135GB and not MB?
Just emptying the Safari cache isn't the only maintenance available.
Troubleshoot third-party plug-ins
If you're using the latest versions of any third-party plug-ins yet Safari still unexpectedly quits, try disabling plug-ins:
Open Safari.
From the Safari menu, choose Preferences.
Click Security.
Deselect "Enable plug-ins".
Use Safari for a while until you are reasonably certain it is no longer unexpectly quitting
Go to:
/Library/InputManagers
~/Library/InputManagers
If there are any files in the Input Managers folders, move them to the Trash.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
It's always possible there's an underlying issue.. perhpaps a problem with the Mac OS X itself.

Safari 5 uses up all my RAM

Safari 5
G5 iMac 1.9GHz, 2.5GB RAM
Leopard 10.5.8
Safari loads using 287MB of RAM (on account of the number of open tabs). Gradually over the next hour or few, it increases to the point where it's used all my dynamic RAM, the machine starts doing swap outs and page outs and slows down really badly. I have to quit Safari and relaunch.
What's going on? I'm at the point where much as I like Safari, I'm going to abandon it for a slower, uglier, less greedy browser.

To remove a plug-in:
Quit Safari.
Locate the plug-in. Plug-ins are usually installed in one of these folders:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/(To find this folder, open the hard disk icon, and then open the Library folder.)
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/(This folder is in your home folder (represented by the tilde ~). To find it, open the hard disk icon, open your home folder, and then open the Library folder.)
I can't see Glims in either (my own folder is empty, and in the top level folder, the only two items can't I identify are npdivx.xpt andnsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt. The second of those is vaguely the right date as to when I might have installed Glims but I'm not certain of it.)
Remove any plug-ins you’ve added. You may need to enter the account name and password for an administrator account on your computer.
I would be very reluctant to remove all plug-ins - many of these are old, essential, and long predate this problem (Flip4Mac, RealPlayer, Flash, DivX etc). I'd be lost without them and they were never a problem before. Glims is the only one I'd want to uninstall if I could only identify it.
IMPORTANT:Removing a plug-in might prevent Safari from doing certain tasks, such as playing movies.
Quite!

Program stealing all my ram

I have a little problem with a program called ocspd.
It runs all the time with no problem, but sometimes it begin using up all my ram. This resolves in my iBook to run really, really slow.
Does anybody know what this program does, or how I make it stop??

hi Baruch,
ocsp is an Online Certificate Status Protocol utility, and i bet ocspd is the daemon for that... http://www.hmug.org/man/1/ocsp.php
i bet it's used in web browsers to authenticate to sites that use this certificate protocol...
now, as to why it's using a ton of RAM... that's strange.
- does it still happen after a reboot?
- are your browsers up to date? what browser do you use?
cheers

How do I make ff4 update all currently open browsers when I move tabs around? It used to be automatic. Now I have to close all my brosers and reopen them for the change to take effect.

How can I make FF4 update all currently open browsers when I move tabs in 1 browser. The change used to be auto and applied to all open browsers last time. Now I need to close every open browser and reopen for the effect to take over.

I use that add-on. Works great.

How to make use of 'Icon Name' in Logical link?

I see the option 'Icon name' in 'define logical links' in SPRO. It does not however has an F4. I tried giving the name of image in the relevant skin. But no image appears besides the logical link. Is there something else that needs to be done to get an image besides workcenter link? How to make use of this 'Icon Name' in logical link?

Hi,
i guess this icon_name is not possible for every skin in CRM70.
We use nova skin - here it is not possible.
With default skin i saw icons for example on the salespro startpage.
Kind regards

Can someone make iBooks have the Option to view 2 pages in landscape mode so it can use up all the pixel real estate?

Can someone make iBooks have the Option to view 2 pages in landscape mode so it can use up all the pixel real estate?
Apple usually does this for OSX and its great when compared to windows where it doesnt use up all the real estate for viewing applications like websites and pdf files but when it comes to iBooks, it feels like there is no apple touch to it and is limited.
If steve jobs were still alive, i bet there wouldnt be this problem >.>
Please consider this as a real problem for people out there who would like to see 2 pages in landscape mode with pdf files and not just epub files.
Thanks!

Penguin, do you always insult people on here or was I just a special case?
If you read the statement carefully, which you obviously did not! I was speculating, and I did not say anything for certain about knowing or not knowing ...
I'm happy for the reply to the post and helpful link you posted to where I can leave some feedback for my post on an Apple monitored site but i rather you not reply if your gonna leave a snyde remark with every helpful comment.
Don't do it again. and Thanks for the help.
