LOTS of Memory problems on new 8 core

I just moved from my totally stable G5 running Logic Pro8 on Tiger to my new Mac Pro 8 core. I am having nothing but problems with
low memory issues. Everything is up to date and it doesn't seem to matter if I'm in 32 or 64 bit, running reason in Rewire or not. I am having
trouble narrowing down the problem. It seems to be random. I have seen a lot of posts about this but no real solutions. I'm thinking I got
a bad computer. it's 2 months old. This computer has 6 gig of RAM. I have talked with lots of friends running the same systems with
no problems. What is the latest? I have been on the phone with Apple and Sweetwater and it's all vague. A couple examples and as you can see I don't have
that much going yet. WAY less than I could run on my G5. I have also been unable to get a second monitor to work with the mini display to DVI connector
but it did work with mini display to VGA on the same monitor which is weird, and it seemed slow.
(Mac Pro 8 Core Snow Leopard 10.6.8 - Logic Pro9 9.1.5 - Reason5 (tried 6 for 64 bit as well) - APOGEE Ensemble - Omnisphere, Stylus, KONTACT4,
East West Play, Superior Drums, UAD 2 and others)

OK. Here is a perfect example of what I am dealing with. I have a song open with a movie because I am scoring today (I never had trouble on my G5 importing and workin with movies and dialogue tracks). I have Reason open
with one of the Reason5 Bass sounds, which takes alot of memory but again never an issue on my G5. I have TWO audio tracks with no plug-ins. Superior Drums, one kit. 1 ESX with a simple cymbal swell sound. I try and load a pad in Omnisphere and I get the below message. If I turn the bass into audio and quit Reason5 it will let
me load the omnisphere sound, so I'm wondering how much of this is a Reason/ Rewire issue. Again never had
trouble with this on G5, Tiger, Reason4 and Logic8. I am running at 32 bit because Reason5 is not 64 bit. Reason6 is 64 bit and even though I don't like the new interface I will pruchase it and run at 64 bit if it will
work. Again I keep hearing different things about 64 bit and 32 bit. I'm trying both and I don't see any
consistent change, still weird and random memory issues.

Airport problems on new Core 2 Duo (network attachment delays)

I have just bought 17" 2GHz Core 2 Duo. Lovely machine, but I have some problems with internal Airport card.
After startup it takes about 5 seconds to attach to the WiFi network I run. Subsequently, if I load iChat automatically at login, by the time Airport comes online, iChat is already displaying "Network diagnostic" dialogue. After you OK it, iChat will not try to login anymore (as opposed to temporarily losing network after successful login where it will log back in on its own.)
Something doesn't feel right about this Airport on the iMac. After clicking Airport symbol on the top bar it takes few seconds for the menu to drop down and often accompanied with a beach ball. Ping time to a base station during these few seconds increase from 1mS to 100-200mS.
Things I have tried:
-Fresh reinstall of just basic OS X 10.4.7 from restore disks
-Using two different access points (base stations) - 3Com and D-Link
-WAP, WEP and just open network
-limit connections to 802.11b mode only (11Mbps and lower)
-Change WiFi channels and use interference robustness
-Use PowerBook G4 as a base station in computer-to-computer and Internet sharing modes
With all the above the behaviour does not change...
I have a stock iMac model with no custom options, modifications or peripherals. Signal strength is excellent.
My 17" PowerBook G4 in the same room boots up and wakes up into fully active Airport connection and it "just works" smoothly and transparently. So were all other WiFi connections I had here from Macs and PC over the years.
I have been using WiFi for 4 years and have done multiple installations including industrial networks, I am also long time Mac user so I have a feeling how it should work so I know my iMac Airport just does not work right.
I suspect it is drivers/OS issue. This is based on the fact that once established, the link works fine but as soon as OS tries to access the Airport card to reconfigure it (either at startup or prompted by the user), some hiccups and delays occur...
I wonder if anybody can confirm this behaviour or suggest something I might try to fix this... I want iMac to use WiFi as transparently as PowerBook G4.
Thanks for your time.

Thanks, smacman, the bridge solution is brilliant and would work perfectly from technical point of view, however, I am trying to showcase the "Apple experience" to some other people and at the moment I am not winning.
I am good enough to write shell scripts or even fix low-level source code in C or ASM but I don't want to waste my time fixing it...
I had a quick look and the problem seems to be with iMac's Airport being very slow during existing networks scan which REQUIRES dropping current connection as channels and modulation changes during the scan. I have locked my router to work in 802.11b mode only. If I could do the same with the Airport on iMac I am sure it would have helped a lot as no 11g or 11a networks were scanned and queried. Forcing it to connect to a specific network did not help. I can't find any file with low-level hardware settings for the Airport, otherwise I'd have a go at it. Maybe I should search Darwin community's help but most probably Apple only releases compiled binary for WiFi drivers with no access to source code or settings.
One other thought - 802.11 has a different frequency spectrum certifications in different countries and in certain areas allowed frequency range is limited. Maybe, forcing locale to e.g. France (where certified channels are only 1-7) can speed up things...
I have tried WPA2 encryption as well but I believe the problem is occurring during the network scan.

Keep running into a "Out of Memory Error" on new Core i7 machine?

Hey everyone, I have a brand new MacBook Pro running 2.2GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7 with 8GB of ram, I'm trying to render out a quicktime movie that is 50 minutes of HD footage, everytime I do I get this error. what can I do to get this render done? very frustrating that I'm getting an error like this on a brand new machine. Any suggestions? Thanks

You have either still images that are in some color mode other than RGB or corrupted render files.
The still images can be corrected in Photoshop or Graphic Converter. Otherwise try deleting your render files and rendering again. You might try rendering each segment that needs it (Render Selection) to narrow it down to a particular area of your Timeline.
The error message has nothing to do with how new your computer is or what it is capable of -it is always caused by incompatible or damaged files.

FFox 3.6.8. Repeated problem. I close it, then hours later try to relaunch it, and it says it's still running. So I have to End Process in Task Mgr. Also, plug-container keeps running and takes LOTS of memory. Ergo, 3.6.8 is a step backward.

Mac Pro 6 core, D500, 256ssd 64gb loss of memory problems

I Can simply have the computer running with no Apps other than Finder & Adobe CC cloud and it burns up all RAM within an hour.
Help?

By far the things that cause the most issues are "just one little thing" that Users have added. These tend to cause trouble because they are badly-crafted or because they do things in violation of Developer Guidelines.
Lots of seemingly innocent little things that users have added have been seen to cause serious problems in high-end Mac Pros. If you want trouble-free, remove all the non-Apple add-ons and just run straight, unmodified Mac OS X and Major Applications, no add-ons. Readers here could easily produce a list of more than 50 add-ons that have been seen in postings here to cause trouble. When in doubt, throw it out.
The anti-malware features built into Mac OS X work better that any so-called "anti-Virus". Most of these commercial packages are simply worthless, but some also ruin performance, ruin memory utilization, or cause kernel panics without adding any additional value.
Hardware problems do not cause memory leaks.
The Mac Pro has Error Correcting Code memory, and its memory problems do not fester undetected. But you do need to check that all the memory you installed is still listed as present, because ANY problems detected at Startup can cause failing modules to be marked "absent".

New Core 2 Duo iMac Memory specification confusion

I'm confused about the memory specification for the new iMac (late 2006). In the article 303084, it says that the new iMac models, other than 17 " model, accept DDR2 PC2 5300 667Mhz SO DIMM. But in the other article ( 304284 ), it says that the memory is DDR2 PC2 5400 667Mhz SO DIMM. So which one does it take? I'm just about to pick up the new iMac tomorrow and I already have 2 sticks of 1GB of DDR 5300 lying around. Can I use these 2 sticks in the new iMac? The brand of the memory is Samsung. Are they compatible with the new iMac? For all you guys out there who upgraded the memory in the new iMac, which brand do you use? I live in Australia, so brands like Crucial and OWC are hard to find. The popular local brands here Samsung, Corsiar, Twin Mos and Kingmax. I bought the Samsung from a friend who pulled them out from a Dell Laptop which he hated and sold it after a week of ownership. Now he's a proud owner a new Macbook Pro with 2GB of RAM installed from the factory. I would like to a make good use of these 2 Samsung RAMs. Thank you.

P'Boy,
No worries. The PC2-5400 that appears in the article you cite is a misprint. The iMac Core 2 Duo takes PC2-5300 memory. I have the new Core 2 Duo and verified this by looking at the memory modules. While PC2-5400 may well work in the iMac Core 2 Duo, PC2-5300 is the type of memory specified by Apple to work with this computer.
Samsung is a fine brand, and is one of the brands used by Apple, so it should function just fine. Cosair is another fine brand, though I have not had occasion to use Cosair memory in a Mac (I've used it in a number of PCs).
Bottom line. Your Samsung PC2-5300 modules should work just fine. Enjoy your new Core 2 Duo!

Sound Problem Plus Memory Problem

I've also posted this same issue at the EVGA website with no help what so ever yet. Also if it's ok I'm having the above mentioned memory problem that it probable not related but if anyone does have good input I would love to hear. Hope this doesn't break any rules, didn't see anything in the listed rules thread. So here it goes.
Ok I'm having a few minor but very perplexing and annoying problems. I have recently built a new rig to include the following.
Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition
EVGA P55 FTW Intel P55 Socket LGA56
Intel Core i5-750 2.66Ghz 8M LGA56 CPU
Corsair Dominator 4GB DDR3 PC2800 (2 x 2 GB sticks)
Ultra LSP750 750w Power Supply
Seagate TB Serial ATA HD 7200/32MB
Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower Black Case
Galaxy GeForce GTS 250 52MB PCIe x2 (SLI Setup)
BFG - NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT GB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card (Physx Setup)
PROBLEM ONE:
This one I had a lot less that I was able to actually try because it just confused the crap out of me. So I started by going to test my sound. I'm running an optical cable from the on board sound port to back of my sony surround sound system. I get sound from my left and right channel but nothing from the center, rears or sub. So figure no biggie just need to change the configuration from 2 speaker stereo to 5. surround sound. Guess what... the option isn't there? WTF? A sound card with an optical port with no 5. support? So went online found the drivers for the sound on the mother board and tried reinstalling thinking maybe somthing was wrong with the drivers on the CD. Well it still didn't work. So I figured what ever, I got an external sound card that I know works with Windows 7 since it was on other desktop and hooked it up. Its a Creative - Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5. External USB Sound Card. Well it installs fine and I go to test it. Yep you guessed it! Still only sound from the left channel and the right channel with no option for surround sound. So I was able to find updated drivers for that and ran em. Well now I have an option for Surround sound with side speakers only no rear. Oh but it doesn't really matter because the left and right channel are still the only ones able to produce sound. And yes the speakers work I turned on my X-Box 360 hooked up to the same speakers and LCD tv and played COD4 with full sound working fine. So something else has to be happening I just have no idea.
PROBLEM TWO:
The second problem was with the memory. Everything booted fine but it initial only detected 2 GB. By the way I had them installed in slots and 3. So I shut down and popped em out checked the copper connectors everything looked fine and reseated the chi
ps.
This time during the boot up I checked the BIOS. It saw all 4 GBs of memory. Continued into Windows. Windows now saw all 4 but only .99 GB was available. Now the only other time I've seen anything like this was with on board video sharing the memory, and even then it wasn't half of the systems total memory. I then tried shutting down and putting the chips in 2 and 4 just see what would happen. Well I got an EA post error on the LED, couldn't even boot. So I figured o'well power down completely and tried to run the memory in 2 and 3 to run it out of dual channel. I was able to boot but still had the same issue. .99 GB available and still saw all 4. At this point it was just getting silly so I figured ok I'll download the new BIOS with my laptop, burned it to a CD. Booted the desktop and ran the BIOS flash. Update seemed work fine, honestly the BIOS didn't look much different and I didn't take note of the previous version before I did it so I can only assume it worked. However it did not fix my problem. So I'm still stuck at windows seeing 4 GB of memory with only .99 available.
Anyway... I'll keep trying to get this working and hunting around online, but I'm really hoping you all have some ideas. I'll be trying to call EVGA today for some help too and possibly Corsair. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello,
cannot help with the sound problem.
For memory, I've got almost the same thing but with 4 sticks of 2gb and only 2 detected on an ASUS P7P55D deluxe.
Bios was my issue but I needed to do this (but with pairs of sticks instead of sticks) after the bios update to finally get my 8gb under windows:
Make a clear cmos. Then boot the computer with only one stick of ram in the port .
If everything is fine, turn off and add the other port of the same color for dual channel.
If it does not boot with the 2 sticks in the port of the good color, try to switch ports again. Maybe one stick is dead?

Computer freeze / Memory problem?

Hi,
I assembled my new PC approx. 1 month ago (full spec attached at the bottom of the message).
Since then I'm having a lot of freezes (freeze, not BSOD). I tried using several OS versions with no luck, so I though it's a memory problem.
Testing the memory, each dimm by itself, with memtest86+ succeeded. I even tried to check each of the memory banks and the test still succeeded.
When testing with more than one dimm (both with single-channel and dual-channel configuration) I'm getting freezes during the check.
What could be the problem?
Thanks!
The full spec:
Case: Thermaltake Armor+ ESA VH6001BWS
PSU: Thermaltake ESA 850W
CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake BigWater 780e ESA
Motherboard: MSI P7N2 Diamond (Bios version is 1.1, this also occurs at 1.0)
Memory: 4 x OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum 2GB (OCZ3P16004GK), 8GB Total
Sound card: MSI X-Fi Xtreme Audio (the one that is bundled with the P7N2)
GPU: MSI GeForce 280 GTX OC
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 - x64 edition
The system is not overclocked at all, All the bios settings are set to default.

Quote from: John_Doe on 18-January-09, 02:38:37
OK, That's what I did:
Changed back the clock speed to auto (it was auto set back to 1333MHz), Changed the voltage of the memory and the NB back to "Auto".
Then I changed the memory to work as 9-9-9-24 and tested it with 2 dimms in a dual-channel configuration.
So far, It's looks like it's working and working well (2 passes completed successfully).
Quote from: John_Doe on 18-January-09, 02:38:37
Assuming that the tests will go smooth, I would like to ask if this is a recommended configuration to stay with (1333MHz, voltages at "Auto", memory set to 9-9-9-24)?
Running those dimms not at overclocked & overvoltaged (and even in "lower speed" then it should) should prevent them from having short lifetime, Am I right?
Yes, because their DDR3 chips have been designed to work at 1333MHz with 9-9-9-24.
"Have been tested to work at 1600" is another fish in another (OCZ) ocean.
good luck

MS-6380 Memory Problem

I have a MS-6380E with the latest BIOS and chipset drivers. Athlon 1.5 Ghz processor, Geo4 Ti series card with 64MB ram and latest drivers and an SBLive Platinum 5.1 card, with the latest drivers. Windows XP Pro is the operating system. The system has 2 PC2100 256MB sticks of DDR ram on the board. This past weekend I tried to install a 3rd chip, PC2100 512MB chip to bring the system up to a Gig of ram. The system would reboot immediatly upon logging into Windows. I took the memory back and exchanged it for another. Installed it with similar results. I tried all three slots with the new memory and the two existing. No, I didn't try the new memory by itself. I finally go it to appear stable for a little bit but I also play Dark Age of Camelot and the latest symptoms were that the system would kick me back to the desktop as soon as I got to the initial "connecting" screen in Dark Age. I also had other odd behaviour with the additional ram installed like my modem taking longer to validate my connection. When I went back to the pre-existing configuration 512MB total, everything would stabilize. The DDR brand was Centron, I know it's not the same manufacturor as my other two sticks but I don't recall the brand on those. Also, just in case you needed to know Dark Age of Camelot is an MMORPG. I checked their tech section and nothing on this problem and their game. I've since returned the memory and have resigned to maxing out at 512MB tho the system specs say I can go to 3GB. I really like this board but am frustrated at the memory problem.

Memory problems: computer freezes on heavy memory usage

Ever since I changed the internal hard drive of my MacBook Pro (I installed a Seagate Barracuda 1Tb disk), I have the following problem:
Whenever an application needs a lot of memory (for example Parallels installing a new Windows system, or Acrobat Pro optimizing a big PDF file), the computer progressively freezes. What I mean by freezing is that I can still move the mouse cursor, but clicking has no effect, and there is no interaction whatsoever with the GUI. Even the clock on the menu bar stops.
I never had the problem before. I guess that under normal conditions the Finder will always keep a few Mb of RAM for its own use. After all I have 4Gb of RAM installed.
Is there some way I can prevent the computer from freezing? Has this something to do with VM? Ever since I changed the hard disk, this problem happens once or twice every day, and the only solution is to force a restart, losing all my work…
Thanks in advance for any advice…

First, do not assign more than half your available RAM to a VM. It's best to let the VM software's configuration to select the amount used by its defaults.
Second, watch how many concurrent applications you attempt to use. Monitor your memory usage in Activity Monitor. If the Available RAM (Inactive RAM plus Free RAM) is low and Free RAM is near zero, then you have too many concurrent applications running. This forces the system to start using the disk-based virtual memory file. With too many apps swapping into the vm file disk thrashing will occur that ultimately can lead to the computer appearing to freeze up or to actually freeze up.
Of course your alternative is to install more RAM if in fact you are over-taxing what you have now. You may find the following helpful reading:
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.

Memory problem with jdk/jre 1.1.8

My name is BERGMANN Yannick.
I'm working for IRM in Li?ge and we developped an application (user interface for an industrial measurement system) in Java (JDK/JRE version : 1.1.8).
We have a big memory problem with this application :
- This user interface is running on a WINDOWS NT PC with 128MB.
- This is the command to lanch our application :
C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.1\bin\jrew.exe" -ms32m -mx32m -cp "\Program Files\HMI\HMI.zip;\Velocis\Add_On\Jdbc\raima.jar;\Program Files\Swing-1.1.1\swingall.jar" be.irm.hmi.kernel.HMI -t15 -d"Velocis rdstcp" -newdb -mf1m -mr20
- When our application is running, everything seems to be OK in memory for it. The garbage collector seems to work properly and our application has always at least 5MB free memory (We use the java instruction "Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory()" to know this).
- But when we look in the "Windows NT task manager" for the "jrew" application, the memory increases ALWAYS.
- After 5 days our application is completely frozen and blocked ...???
- here is a memory map of our Windows NT PC :

We had a memory problem with a swing applet in our company. The major reason for this was that we added new components in a JTree and removed them later again, and the components we removed were never garbage collected. This was because with these components we added different listeners, and we didn't remove the listeners after we didn't need the components anymore. After we corrected this, the components where garbage collected.
Perhaps it's a similar problem you have, or I have no idea. Check that you remove actionlisteners, mouselisteners etc from components you want to be garbage collected.
You could also test your application with OptimizeIt to see what objects you create and how many you get of them over time: http://www.vmgear.com

Safari 2.0.4 - Uses a lot of memory ??

Hello,
I own an Intel iMac MA200.
I noticed after Safari's 2.0.4 update that it uses a lot of memory, sometimes even as much as 200MB
The cure I found is to restart Safari.
Sometimes, I need to even Force Quit it.
When I finish using my iMac, and close the Safari windows but let it keep running (red button), go to sleep, and in the morning check how much memory it takes, it's more then 100MB,
I suspect there is a memory leak with Safari 2.0.4
My OS X version is 10.4.8.
I wonder if there is a known problem with Safari, and if there will be a new update released soon (2.0.5 ?) that will solve this problem, because I didn't have this problem with 2.0.3 .
Thanks in advance,
Idan Mashaal.

Adobe reader really slow on brand new Core-i7 machine

Opening of a PDFs is very very slow on my brand new Windows 7 64-bit machine. Machine is a new Core-i7 system with 16Gb Memory
PDF's which open on other much older pc's within a second take 20-30 seconds on this new machine.
The machine has a Radeon R260 Graphics card which was used in the previous machine with no issues. Just to be sure I have removed the card and used the on-board graphics to try to eliminate the card but the problem is exactly the same so must be windows related.
Reader has been uninstalled and re-installed with no Joy.
The rendering of the image is a problem as when zooming or panning the image again redraws very slowly (20-30 seconds) each time.
PC is otherwise very fast.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks
VS

Hi VS2015,
Have you noticed this issue with any other program too or just with Adobe Reader?
How much on-board graphics memory do you have on your system?
Moreover, As you had mentioned that "The rendering of the image is a problem as when zooming or panning the image again redraws very slowly (20-30 seconds) each time." I would recommend you to Update your Video Driver from Device manager option in Control Panel.

I have had memory problems with InDesign CS4 (and also with Photoshop CS4) for about a year now. If my file has a lot of pictures (100+) at some stage I get error message "Out of memory" . In the beginning it just have problems with redraw pictures (half of picture stays black), but also export to pdf is halted by same message and printing to file also. No problems in the beginning of large files or with files with text only. At one point InD just has enough and starts to behave like a ... Only solution is to export InD CS4 file as INX and continue to work in CS3 (but it takes a long time to match the text flow because textengine works differently). It's not monitor, because I have changed monitor during this year (from LaCie 22 blue IV to EIZO 27"). It seems that it's not video (NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX, 512 MB) also, because everything functions normally with CS3. I know, that it's not a proper video card for my work, but one likes to play Bioshock sometimes... Something strange happens with Photoshop CS4 also when I work for a long time without shutting down the program. After about editing 60+ pictures Photoshop CS4 begins to slow down (specially with using clone tool).up to impossible to work. You just have to wait while the cursor is dragging itself to right place an picture is redrawing itself. Seems like memory cannot empty itself and gets overloaded when working with CS4. No problems with Photoshop CS3. One cannot notice anything with small files. I can work with CS3 but there are features I would like to use in CS4.
Have anyone experienced anything similar?

Having exactly the same here. 16 Gb of ram in an 8 core 64 bits Vista system. Absolutely no infections on my system. Having great troubles getting my work ouputted.
I'm making an overview with 50 cards with pictures in them and bevels on the edges, dropshadows. It might be heavy but it is a normal question from my client.
I don't care if transparency is difficult for Adobe to handle. They shouldn't make it public if it is not properly tested. I am now so far as to make the composition in photoshop ( if that works)
What I thought was the problem is that I originaly placed indesign files in frames. But there is a great script out there on www.automatication.com to convert that in editable object again. Works great so check that out. But this didn't solve my problem. The effects used in these items are the memory consummers and Adobe is not freeing the memory properly.
Advise to Adobe: check also to dropshadows feature because this is not scaling up or down with the rest of the effect.
I'm am writing a realtime 3D renderengine here, if CS5 is not working fine, I might digg in to this one as well, getting a bit tired of waiting for properly working software.
