Low Memory Music Problem

Itunes 7 imports music from cd's as high memory music formats e.g. apple lossless encoder or low memory e.g AAC encoder.
The problem I have is that the low memory options are all jumpy and scratchy and they import at slow speeds like 1.6x,
but the high memory ones import at 12x-16x speed and work fine, but each apple lossless album takes up 350mb.
I would really appreciate some help or advice.
Thanks

  • Low Memory/Crash problem with Premiere Elements 8

    I am having a problem when editing a project in Premiere Elements 8. I can only edit for about 5 minutes and I get an error from the program saying the program is low on system memory and I need to save and proceed with caution. Within a minute or two of this error appearing, the program shuts down. This has happened when working with projects that use .MTS and .AVI files in the same project.
    Help!

  • IOS 5 - iPad 2 - Low memory recurrent problem

    Hello,
    Yesterday, I came from the Apple Store with a new ipad 2 because they told me that the first one had a memory problem. Well, I believe them, but today all My ipad 2 apps crashe and in the problem list  I have always the same problem (one for each app):
    Free pages: 1412
    Wired pages: 96131
    Purgeable pages: 763
    Largest process: AppStore
    Thinking aboyt it, I guess that is due to some apps use a large amount of memory (RAM, because my ipad has more that 10Gb free) and even when all the apps are closed the ipad can not release the memory for other apps.
    This is really annoying, and i don't know if there are more users experiencing this problem.
    Thanks in advice,
    Jesus.
    Sorry if my english isnt good enough.

    Vincent. Perhaps do a hard restore back to the factory settings? At that point, I would not do the upgrade to 4.3.1. I'd leave it how it was shipped. There have been a number of problems reported with the upgrade (and lots of success)by many here. It sounds like yours might be one of the problems. I don't how much you have on your iPad? However, the other problem could be that one of the applications you have is corrupt with 4.3.1. In other words, perhaps the Twitter app or Tapatalk doesn't play nice anymore even when closed. Of course it could also be another app but if you have lots on their, it could be hard to diagnose. That's my guess.
    So if it were me, I'd do a restore and wipe it back to box condition. I would not do a restore from a previous backup/save. That most likely will just put the problem back onto the iPad. I would do a manual load of the iPad of the stuff you want on it, apps, music, movies like the computer and iPad have never been synced prior. Yes, it takes time but it should allow you to use it properly without the crashes. Then I'd wait to see what fix comes out for the 4.3.1 issues that some are having. The 4.3.1 really doesn't add that much at this time anyway so waiting won't hurt. I haven't upgraded and Im glad I haven't at this point. Not worth the risk to find out that mine gets screwed up too.
    Best of luck.

  • I want to ask something about firefox. why firefox use very much memory? can you develop to reduce memory comsume? this problem is very distrub in my PC with low memory.

    I want to ask something about firefox.
    why firefox use very much memory?
    can you develop to reduce memory comsume?
    this problem is very distrub in my PC with low memory.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    How much memory is Firefox using right now?
    # Press '''CTRL+SHIFT+ESC''' to load the Task Manager window
    # Click the Processes tab at the top. (Click once near the top of the window if you don't see tab
    # Find firefox.exe, and see how many kilobytes of memory it's using.
    Showing around 80MB when Firefox first starts is normal. Right now, I have 75 tabs open and it's using 500MB - this varies a lot depending on what you have in the tabs.
    Other than high memory usage, what other problems are you experiencing? (Examples include slowness, high CPU usage, and failure to load certain sites)
    Many of these issues, including high memory usage, can be caused by misbehaving add-ons. To see if this is the case, try the steps at [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]. Outdated plugins are another cause of this issue - you can check for this at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck

  • PE8 Low Memory Problem

    I have newly installed PE8 on a Quad core, 4GB Mem, 6 TB Hdrives, Win XP SP3.
    Open new project import 5 jpg photos (less than mb each), select them and add as group slideshow.  As soon as the work area starts to render each of the pictures I got the "low memory" warning and basically the program stops responding.  I am appalled that only 5 photos brings it to its knees--somethng is wrong
    I have tried almost everything, (virtual memory is managed by windows all 6gb of it), defragged disks and virtual disk page file (ms sysinternals),  cache is set to its own hd with 750 GB of space.  I submitted this problem to adobe tech support and got referred to tech articles which did not help.  I have tried running with msconfig turning off everything but it still does not work. I have done more reinstalls than I can count.  More puzzeling is the fact that I monitor the ms process explorer from sysinternals and it show lots of physical and virtual memory available when the low memory warning occurs. I have reset the prefs and just about everything else but nothing works.
    Attached is screen shot of PE8 and the Sysmonitor at the time the error occurred.
    I have installed this same file into win 7 machine64 bit and it appears to work so I know the program works on other OS and machine, but I really need  to work on my main photo processing machine (ie the Win XP).
    I have seen many other similar post for memory related problems, has anyone found a cure?

    Like you, I come from a 30 year career as an advertising still photographer. Back in my dark past, I got a degree in cinematoghraphy (video was basically live feed to air in a studio back then, or live capture to 2" video tape, for delayed broadcast.), but had so many still clients, that I really had no time to use my studies in film.
    Fast forward some years, and digital image manipulation caught my attention. Most of my images were assembled in the darkroom via analog compositing, and when I saw my first Scitex computer, I knew that I was looking into the future. In a few years, Aldus introduced PhotoStyler for the PC, and PageMaker for layout. The future had hit my desktop. Shortly thereafter, Adobe introduced Photoshop for the Mac, and then for the PC. I shelved PhotoStyler for Photoshop 2.5 and never looked back. Though I still shot film, soon everything was digitized and on my computer, before delivery. Aldus sold PageMaker to Adobe, and the development team for PhotoStyler went on to form Ulead.
    Everything I do now is digital, but still every image goes through my computer. I too work in .PSD format and keep that workflow all the way to my video production. I seldom use JPEG, unless a client hands it off to me, or I need to do a Save_As for a client's Web site. I just do not like the compression, even at low levels (high quality levels), and have always had a very powerful computer (for each generation), so large files were where I was most comfortable.
    When I began producing video (DVD-Video), I explored the best was to maintain the ultimate quality, and tested extensively, how my NLE handled the large files. I became convinced that the results were better (to my trained eye), when all manipulations were done in Photoshop, rather than in the NLE. I could see the difference, and wanted the ultimate, for both me and for my clients. I also liked the ultimate quality control from PS, rather than leaveing the "decisions" to the whims and limitations of the NLE. When I moved to PrPro, I tested again, and found the results from PS to still be superior. Now, I do have to admit that I have not tested with each version upgrade of PrPro, or with PrE, and I am sure that they have improved, but still rely on PS for everything. The biggest plus for me, regarding PrPro was that it COULD handle my .PSD's, so no conversion, even to TIFF. I'm with you on the need to work with .PSD's, or .TIFF's, at the least. One reason that I rely on PrPro for sitll image work is that I can Import a Layered .PSD as a Sequence, keeping my Layers. I can then animate each Layer, as I want and do so quite often. This inability to Import my un-Flattened, Layered .PSD's into PrE is a big drawback. Until PrE adds Sequences, I do not expect this to change. Still, if one does not need to animate the Layers and retain them, PrE's ability to just work with .PSD's is a really big plus.
    For me, to date, PrPro does everything that I want, but I can see the benefits of a program, like ProShow Producer, so I'm exploring it. I'll probably pick up a full-paid copy, just to test it's workflow and output vs PrPro. Right now, I'm waiting on the next big SlideShow Project to "buy" ProShow Producer for me.
    I am still working with SD Projects, but will soon add HD and export to BD. I believe that this will get me closer to that quality "Holy Grail." Of course, this will also bring an upgrade for my workstation, my OS and a new video camera, plus a BD burner. It will be with this output in mind, that I will be testing ProShow Producer, plus PrPro CS4.1 (or whatever version it's up to by then).
    Now, I'm looking less for any automation in the SlideShow production, mainly because I am a "control freak." I want complete power in the editing suite. The only use for automation is for batch processing my stills for use in an NLE, or SlideShow production program. I understand the allure of the automation to most editors, but that is just not my personal style. My workflow is much slower, but then I enjoy determining every aspect of every image.
    Let me know what you think of the ProShow products, as I will greatly appreciate your observations, especially as you come from a background very similar to mine.
    Good luck,

  • Low memory problem drawing a route with MKAnnotationView

    Hi!
    I'm drawing a route like it's done in http://spitzkoff.com/craig/?p=81 but i'm not loading de coordinates from a file, i get the coordinates from GPS with CLLocationManager.
    The problem is that my app crash with low memory in the device. I guess it's the way i'm drawing the route.
    In - (MKAnnotationView *)mapViewMKMapView *)_mapView viewForAnnotationid <MKAnnotation>)annotation i can use dequeueReusableAnnotationViewWithIdentifier: like i do for the PinAnnotation?
    And if doesn't exist i can make initWithAnnotation:annotation reuseIdentifier: ?
    Should this solve my problem?
    Does AnnotationView's consume much memory?
    Thanks!And sorry for my bad english

  • Low memory problem in nokia c5-03

    I wanted to install the Viber application for Nokia on my phone. But the memory is low and a message is displayed "Low memory on C".  I have deleted all my messages and images are also not present. I have checked the phone memory the total size of the contents is 21.3 kb. I have a phone memory of 75.4 MB, but the free space is just 2.99MB. There are about 30 MB SIS applications and 42MB 0f Other files. Can i delete these files??
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Memory Full: Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory"
    The phone notifies you if the phone memory or memory card memory is getting low. There can be different error messages shown this situation, e.g.:
    "Memory Full: Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory"
    "Disk Full : Automatic retrieval of mailbox for exchange disabled"
    To free phone memory, transfer some data to the memory card with the File mgr application (select Menu > Applications > File mgr.). Select or mark files to be moved, select Options > Organise > Move to folder and then the destination folder.
    In order to free memory, you could also remove or move the following:
    Messages from Inbox, Drafts and Sent folders in Messaging.
    Retrieved e-mail messages from the phone memory.
    Saved Web pages. Clear the web browser cache to free some memory (select Options > Clear privacy data > Cache).
    Saved images, videos, or sound files.
    Contact information.
    Calendar notes.
    Downloaded application packages.
    If there are applications which are not needed any more, uninstall them (select Menu > Settings > Data mgr. > App.mgr. > Installed apps.).
    Any other data that you no longer need
    If possible, use the memory card instead of phone memory in the Camera application (select Options > Settings > Memory in use to define the memory where the images are stored). You can also use Nokia Suite to transfer images and video clips to your PC.
    If you are deleting multiple items and any of the following notes are shown: Not enough memory to perform operation. Delete some data first or Memory low. Delete some data, try deleting items one by one (starting from the smallest item).
    LAST OPTION Is hard reset TYPE in *#7370# code os 12345 if asked.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

  • Low Memory Environment Render Issues...

    Howdy folks,
         I've been working on a 13 minute promotional video for a non-profit summer camp. It is made up of mostly still images with some ken burns effects, a narration track, a music track, some titles, and some logo overlays.
         I am doing this on a 3.2 Ghz P4 with only 1.5G ram under XP sp3. I realize this is not an ideal PPro box.
         Windows XP is configured to use 2 drives for VM paging (3Gigs each). All drives have over 100gigs of free space on them.
         Now until recently I've only had a couple of small issues which I suspected were related to trying to do this in a low memory environment. In one case a flash render would die at the same point every time (error was something along the lines of "did not return a valid frame"), and simply scaling down the still image clip at that point in the sequence so that it was closer to the project size took care of it. That method also helped in a few cases where some images would not render at all, and just appeared as black screens in the final video (the render process did not fail, but the end result was missing clips).
         Then there was one case it seemed to fail at random points. A simple reboot took care of that, and it exported just fine.
         But now, however..... Now it's back to failing at random points (sometimes it gets 3500 frames in... sometimes as far as 13400... or anywhere in between) and additionally, by viewing the incomplete flash video file with VLC (which I need to do in order to find out where it failed because PPro never tells me) I find that some of the images are black screens, as before.
         The problem now, is that it's never the same point of failure, and it's never the same images blacked out. And rebooting and or killing off extra processes does not help.
         Now this was rendering fine last week. Here's the kicker - I haven't changed much of anything since then. The project is still the same length, with just about the same number of cuts, tracks, and assets used. The only things I've done since then are:
         1) I duplicated the sequence so that I can make some changes unique to the web-version of the video, and still save the old sequence to go back to. The old sequence has remained untouched and I haven't even looked at it since then.
         2) Created 2 new titles and inserted them in place of some old ones in the new sequence which weren't appropriate for the web version of the video (only the text is different in these new titles... they are the same style, size, etc. as the old ones they replaced)
         3) I shortened some empty time/space/pauses between sections of the sequence.
         So those are all minor changes... but I can't shake the rendering issue no matter how many times I restart or scale down an image that was blacked out or appears at one of the random points of outright failure (again, with the "did not return a valid frame" issue).
         I did notice that after I duplicated the original sequence, the project takes much longer to open. Does having another sequence present in the asset bin use that much more resources? Even if the clips in that 2nd sequence use the same assets as another? I'm tempted to remove the original sequence and see what happens, but I don't want to lose it and have to un-edit the web version whenever I want to go back and re-render the DVD version.
         So basically I'm looking for anything that might cause the small changes I made to be giving me so much grief now.
         Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

    You may have a corrupt project. Try creating a new project and importing the old one into it.
    If you still experience problems then carefully do each of these troubleshooting tips. One or more of them is likely to help.
    Cheers
    Eddie

  • Low Memory Alert, Force quit applications, kernel task and apple.internetaccounts

    Like the title says, im getting low memory alerts or a frozen computer.  I am only running chrome and messages.  After sorting through all of the threads about this problem, and watching my activity monitor, Kernel will take up 4.5 GB and com.apple.internetaccounts will take up 1.5-2 GB, which, with my other apps open and background crap will put me at 8GB and my computer attempts to commit suicide.

  • Low Memory Error (Computer also reporting that my hard drive is almost filled)

    Is there a diagnostic tool or something else I can do to find out why I'm getting an low memory error?
    I have a Compaq Presario CQ60. I have 4.0GB of RAM and a 2.0 GHZ processor. 
    I only have 5GB left on my hard drive. That can't be right!  The drive is 285 GB total. What told me that I had a problem was when I removed 40GB of music that I ripped from my CD collection. I moved it off. It cleared up room on my HD until i rebooted it a few times. Then all 40GB were mysteriously gone.  Program Files is 17.0 GB, MyDocuments 4.88GB, Music 5GB, Pictures 900MB, Videos 400 MB.  Downloads folder 1.14GB. When i run Defrag from Windows 7 Home Premium, it fails.
    I can't believe I've run out of memory or hard drive space. I think something else is going on. I've been using this computer for years and what I'm doing now is no where near as intense as I've done in the past.
    Is there a tool i can download and run? At one time, my computer did restart and do a check on the Hard Drive sectors but it returned no errors.  I don't know what to do.

    Some very good tips here- includes tools to view what is using hdd space. (just be sure to ignore the ads)

  • Powerbook Lower Memory Slot Issue, what are my options?

    Hi there,
    I have a Powerbook G4 1.5ghz that I purchased in October of 2004. I had no problems with it until after upgrading the RAM to 2 x 512mb chips and then installing Tiger which resulted in me later notcing the missing RAM and learning about the lower memory slot failure issue.
    I find that sometimes if I remove the RAM and try and power it up and then replace the RAM again that the lower slot ocassionaly does come back. Trouble is though that the machine will either crash or I loose the other RAM slot when I have to shut it down. It seems to be so intermittent this way and I'm tired of constantly removing the RAM to fiddle about with it.
    My serial number begins W8441, so it isn't covered by the returns programe. I would call Apple Support, but I am put off by a £35 charge just to have them discuss and diagnose the problem.
    I'm in the UK and as I don't have Applecare and I'm not elgiable for the returns programe can anyone tell me what they charge for a logic board replacment? Looking at what they charge in the US, it's not cheap.
    I use my Powebook for Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, After Effects mainly and I had been alright with 1gig when it was working.
    I'm really trying to decide what the best thing to do is....
    - Do I pay for the logic board replacement, which I'm not really sure I can afford right now, or to be without my machine... especially as I have read that it can just fail again.
    - Should I just buy a 1gig stick for the upper slot and try and sell my old RAM, as that would be cheaper than getting the logic board replaced?
    It's a real shame that Apple doesn't seem to want to ackowledge that this effects other users as I'd been so impressed with everything about Apple up until now.
    Thanks for any advice.

    (Browse down for findings and questions).
    The notorious lower-memory-slot-bug has hit my finally too... I never believed it until now (and I've immediately signed the petition).
    I am outside warranty and I never bought Applecare either.
    Also my powerbook, a very dear machine to me, is a less common type to have this problem: a 1 GHz G4 15" FireWire 800 OS 10.3.9 type. Funny enough my older powerbook ( a G3 Bronze) is still running strong with no problems whatsoever.
    My G4 15" also has the "white spots" problem and a dead superdrive... I cannot believe how many hardware problems I'm having with this machine in comparison to all my older macs - even my sluggish powerMac 7200/90 never gave me this many headaches...
    Alright, I'll stop complaining for now.
    I've been able to browse the internet on this and found the following statements:
    The lower memory slot gets "fried" because of a OS 10.3.9 upgrade,
    or possibly due to overheating when the powerbook is put on the users' lap,
    or possibly due to picking the powerbook up by the corners so the metal gets bent.
    + I have only seen one case where someone's UPPER memory slot was defective.
    The solution to this problem (replacing the logic board) didn't seem to be definate in many cases so I'm reluctant to try this myself (and I have very little money). The alternative (replacing the upper slot memory with a bigger type of RAM) seems a bit scary to me,
    because I wonder:
    -will the upper memory slot RAM get "fried" eventually as well after a while?
    -do you need to have something installed in the lower slot or is it possible to just install one RAM card only?
    -are there more people with a 1 GHz PB that have this problem? It seems it's mostly people with a 1,67 GHz that have been bitten by this bug and maybe that's why Apple decided to give the majority a free repair. I am not sure whether that is a common policy, I am part of the minority it seems.
    As a solutions someone posted on a board that we should all buy KTA-PBG4333/1G RAM, but here in Dutch stores it is said this memory is only compatible with 17" powerbooks....
    Does anyone know if it is suitable for 15" as well??

  • Low memory (IPod 4,1)

    (IPod 4,1) From I installing ios 6 I have problem with memory :low memory

    Often when the low memory error occurs, best solution is to reboot the iDevice by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears.

  • Low memory on iPad 2

    The diagnostics of my iPad 2 says that my iPad has low memory.however I have 21.5 GB available. Please help. Thanks

    I had this same issue with the new ipad, I kept getting logs generated that stated low memory.  I am not aware of any problems or issues this created, it was just sort of an informational warning not that there was anything wrong.  To “fix” it I just closed all the apps still in memory by double clicking the home button, holding your finger on one of the apps in the bottom window until they shake then hit the x to close them out of memory.

  • Low Memory Warning

    I started a new app today and got the following message:
    Low Memory Warning
    Air Harp has detected your device is
    low on memory. If a problem occurs
    please restart your device.
    No problem occurred. I think Stanza may have been using memory - I really don't know how to tell what's using memory.
    How do I tell what needs to be shut down?

    Pharmer,
    Looks to me as though you don't enough enough physical RAM to run as many processes as you currently are. 2GB of RAM is pretty low these days. Do me a favor and -- click Start -- Type
    MSconfig in the search bar and press enter -- Click the
    startup tab and see how many programs are checked to start on bootup. You can uncheck ones that you don't need running all the time. That should free up some memory to keep you going for a bit. But a permanent fix would be to increase your
    physical RAM.
    EDIT: Switching to basic desktop will reduce the amount of RAM needed to run Windows, which is why you haven't gotten the problem since.
