Massive problem with memory usage
Hello ladies and gents!
Just before Christmas I bought my first MacbookPro 13" mid-2012 which is 2.5Ghz and 16gb RAM. Firstly it was just a toy since I've been using Windows for ages because of my work. After a while I've tried to make one or two projects on my mac and noticed it handles them quite nicely. I decided to move my entire workflow to mac and was more than happy with the results. Until last month.
I have no friggin' idea why but my macbook started to work terribly slowly. Nothing unextraordinary happened, there were no new apps or nothing like this. I've tried to manage the kernel_task problem but it helped only for a few days. Even if I kill the photoshop and illustrator processes, mac still uses more than 9GBs of RAM which drives me crazy. My Windows machine is only 12GB of RAM and same specs as my mac and it KICKS OFF it's butt!
What should I do? I love the OS X workflow but my clients won't accept delays any more!

Problem with memory usage and CPU usage
Hello,
i have a problem with the memory usage and cpu usage in my project!
My application must run for more than 24 hrs. The problem is that the longer it runs the bigger is the memory and cpu usage!
It starts with ~15% CPU usage and ~70 MBytes memory usage. After ~ 24hrs the CPU usage is ~60% and the memory usage is ~170 MBytes!
After 3 days the CPU usage is almost about 70% and the memory usage is about 360 MBytes!
What can I do to reduce this huge recource usage?
Thank you!Hi Pahe,
I think the issue is memory usage, since CPU usage can increase due to greater memory requirements.
Anyway, it's difficult to debug without seeing your code, can you post it (possibly for LV 7.1 compatibility)? Or just post a JPEG of the piece of code that can give problems...
I guess you're appending data to an array instead of replace data elements, but I can't be sure...
Have a nice day!

I have a huge problem with memory usage.
I am having two very huge problems with the amount of memory the game I'm working on is using. The first is that the background image for a part of my game takes up ~45mb of memory, but believe it or not, that's not my worst problem. i'm not worried about that right now.
The really, really big problem does involve that image, though.
Whn I'm done using the image, I can't get the resources it uses to be freed. As a result, the program uses more and more memory every time you go into that area of the game, because the memory used by tha area is just sitting there.
I used Jprofiler to figure out exactly what wasn't getting released, because I do everything I know how to make everything be garbage collected, including setting all the references to the image to null after you leave that area of the game, but nothing worked.
After I leave the area with the huge memory leak and give everything time to garbage collect, the main screen for memory usage shows about 45mb of memory used by 20 or so instances of int[], which is obviously the image.
However, this obscenely huge int array doesn't show up in the heap snapshot, which according to them means there's no reference to it or the image anywhere in the program.
Here's my question: If there's no reference anywhere to this int array, then why isn't it being garbage collected?Maybe you haven't actually released all references to that data.
Or if you have one 45mb image, maybe you have a bunch of other huge ones and you're just seeing those.
Why do you have a 45mb background image, though? Can't you use a standard technique like tiling it? -
Today I bought a new i5 iMac with 8Gig of ram. I had massive problems with the instillation of Lion. I spoke with Apple for nearly 1.5 hours. I finally got it working and now it has crashed 9 times in 30 minutes. Why?? Please Help. I am going to take it back to the shop tomorrow.
Thanks fro your quick reply.
I get the slow darkened screen that moves down the until it says that I have to hold down the poer button for a forced restart.
I tried opening all the really big memory hogs ll at once, eg Final cut pro, apature, imove HD etc, and that was no problem. It seem sto be completly random.
This is the report that I get:

Firefox 4 is absolutely awful - it is causing massive problems with my computer. How do I uninstall Firefox 4 and go back to the previous version of Firefox?
According to the instructions given on the Norton Community forum under "Other Norton Products/Comcast-Customers - Norton Toolbar Problem in Firefox 10", I have done everything necessary. And I do have a Norton toolbar (Safe Web and Identity Safe) when I open Firefox 10. As was mentioned in the previous posts here, you need to run manual LiveUpdate then reboot until you have version 5.2.0.13. Then reboot and run manual LiveUpdate again and reboot once more. One thing that I noticed is that Norton never told me that it had updated the patch for Firefox 10, so I didn't know. I guess if you have the toolbar when you run Firefox 10, then you have done it all.

Problems with Memory on upgrading
Problems with Memory. I Dide not hace space to upgrade. Now i do, but It still cancels for lack of space
Actually, your problem does not sound like memory, but hard drive space. By default, you lose 10% of your drive to the OS and formatting. To tell how much hard drive space you have go to:
>Finder
>At the bottom of finder in the gray bar it will tell you how much space you have available on your hard drive.
Your hard drive should be no more than 85% full! If it is, delete, get a larger hard drive, remove items to an external drive.
GarageBand only needs 1.2 MB of space.
In order to use GarageBand, some additional content is required. If you do not already have the content installed, it must be downloaded.
Make more disk space available by moving some of your files to a different disk (such as an external hard disk or a USB flash drive), or by deleting files you don't need and then emptying the Trash -

[5800xm] Problem with rSAP usage in Skoda nav-syst...
Hello,
like in the topic: I have a problem with rSAP usage in Skoda nav-system Columbus: it stays ON searching for the car nav-system & eats battery level (just being standby): within 24 hrs completely empty. With bluetooth turned on, without previously connecting to my Skoda nav-system, the phone can run for about 10 days standby.
I tried every setting without improvement, I run the latest firmware/software on my 5800 XM.
Only if I turn off manually the bluetooth subsystem (not just the nav-system connection, but completely turn off bluetooth), then the phone doesn't eat through my battery-level. I dont want that, because it's not neccessary (I have to turn it back on again later & forget to do that), sometimes I forget and find out people can't reach me coz my phone is battery-empty.
Anyways, this situation is already since the beginning when I bought the phone from Nokia store. No improvement since.
Please can anybody help out?
Thnx
Solved!
Go to Solution.Well, since a few days we're testing the default setting from aspergerguy and now it seems the battery problem doesn't occur no more. Amazing how such a small change of unexpected / undocumented setting can give a device real purpose instead of almost uselessness.
For clarity, again the problem: I am able to use the phone with the carkit-nav system, but after using (ergo: getting out of the car, into our home), the phone eats through the battery within 24hrs.
This now no longer happens with Wireless car kit set as default.
Thanks aspergerguy for your help!
Less thanks Nokia for creating this problem in the first place.
Regards,

Does anyone have problems with data usage with att and Iphone5?
Hello, Does anyone have problems with data usage or non usage I should say with Iphone 5 and AT&T?
After 4+ months of dealing with this data usage and battery drain problem that included 3 data captures of my wife's iMac, the trigger for us regarding the problems syncing with iCloud, and 5 hours of logs off my iPhone 6 to be analyzed by Apple engineers that included times my wife's computer was both on and off to demonstrate the difference in data usage and battery drain under those conditions, I can say with very reasonable certainty that the iOS 8.3 and corresponding Mac OS 10.10.3 update has solved the problem.
We have now been running for about 2 weeks and data usage with the iCloud Servers attempting to sync has dropped from a rate of 31 GBs to under 15 MBs per month. Yes, you read it right. We were burning 2000 times as much data doing absolutely nothing important on both of our phones, a 5s and a 6. Just imagine what that does to battery life! The 5s would last about 5 hours and the 6 was dead in less than 14.
The distasteful aspect of this process was how the engineers were quietly fixing the problem at the same time sending messages to my contact person within Apple that were dismissive in nature in the face of indisputable unreasonable results. I must say, this experience with the multiple times the engineers' responses were inappropriate put a little tarnish on the old Apple shine of the ‘It just works’ mantra. This was my first experience in 34 years that caused me to stop recommending Apple products without reservations and with a disclaimer.
Since the update solved the problem, then I can only conclude that there was a logic bug regarding the reaction within the process to the incoming data that was corrected. There was noting short of logging out of iCloud that circumvented the problem for us, Gator5000e and probably many others noted on other threads. I am not trying to imply that this is the cause of everyones battery use problem, but it is reasonable that it was a cause for many. -
Strange problems with memory dimms(Banks) in imac 27in mid2010
Hello dear Apple community. I had a really strange problem with memory dimms(modules anyway)
I have one really good imac 27in with i7 but as you know after some years the lcd screen became yellowish and cloudy
So i decided to clean it as i have some knowledge and i did that to others lcd screens with success.
OK so after successfully cleaning and working like new ( i mean not the external screen with magnets but the lcd internally)i started it.
Before dismantling my memory was 16gb ( 4x4 dimms)
After starting it a strange problem arise without any reason! Memory reduced TO 8 GB!!!! memory banks on the right as we seeing it didnt worked at all
and it was not from dimms because i swapped them..!!!
So after a lot of thinking and asking tech guys to take a second opinion all the saying (including me that logic board failed for some strange reason.
Some days before i installed CCleaner and also Onyx because after a lot of installations and uninstallations my mac became a little sluggish..
I thought that some serious preferences files removed or some hardware settings deleted with Onyx ( is very good and powerful program that can fix the pc and also destroy it in a second) so i removed and reset all preferences. But nothing changed.. So i put a new hard drive and reinstall OXS to see if something can change.
After formating HD to appleHFS+ saw system profiler that still couldn't see all banks(16gb). I remove logic board and i put another processor i7 that i have as a back up and still nothing( some saying that only these 2 things must be faulty if memory banks not working , processor an logic board and sometimes reinsatlling OS can fix it as i mentioned before. But still nothing...
So from my nerves and after so much testings and no sleeping for 2 days as it was working i pulled off the memory modules from the right bank i put them again ( off course nothing changed) and i close it. After i restarted it like a miracle finally i saw that i have again 16gb in system profiler!!
Tech guys here please give me an explanation to this because i gooing crazy! What happened and after i pulled off the dimms while it was working the problem fixed?? It is not recomended at all this action. I forgot to mention that i did Apple hardware test and nothing found..
Sorry for long post.Okay great news... My memory problems are solved and my Mac Mini is now running at 8 gigs of Ram. I tried the suggested DD3 1333 which the computer wouldn't even recognize.
So after visiting the Apple Store in the Fair Oaks VA shopping mall; they suggested that I try DDR3 8500 ram. I visited Micro Center in Vienna VA, and I purchased BGreg's Suggested Crucial Brand Ram. 10 minutes after I got home the Mac Mini booted on the 1st try with 8 gigs of Ram.
Some venting that Apple hopefully will read and mention to their resellers....
The people in the Apple section of MicroCenter in Vienna at first argued that the Mac Mini only supports 4 gigs. EVEN AFTER I SHOWED THEM THE SPECS on the Apple website. The clerk (who I am calling a clerk because by no means was he a "specialist") even suggested that the Apple site was wrong. On a later visit to MicroCenter to purchase the DDR3 8500, that the people at Apple recomended; Microcenter even suggested and argued that I needed DDR3 1333 and NOT DD3 8500. THIS WAS AFTER I TOLD THEM THAT Mac Mini WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE the DD3 1333 Dimms. Working in retail myself I don't go along with the concept that the customer is always right, however in this instance clearly I was.
I should point out that some of the staff in Microcenter really do try hard, however like with any business it only takes a few "know it all" bad examples to turn customers off.
Curious post thought; I wasted about $75 in gas driving to and from Microcenter because of their bad advice. -
Another Problem With Memory..
Ok, so recently I just posted that I had a problem with mem... here is another. I just checked how much memory I'm using and it says I'm using 989 out of 1 gb.. is that normal? It was 504 about an hour ago and all I have open are Adium and Safari..
The two important questions are 1) how much is inactive and 2) how many page outs are you showing in virtual memory. In fact, the second question is the one to key on. The number of page outs will indicate how often your computer has tried to access more memory than it has and as therefore been forced to copy RAM contents to the drive so it could perform the task it was asked to do. This is when your computer is being slowly choked to death.
Now don't just open the Activity Monitor, look at the Page ins and Page outs and panic because you have 30,000 page outs. Keep in mind that's an accumulative number and if your Mac hasn't been restarted for 90 days, well that number may not be relevant at all. So restart the computer, and use it as you normally do. Then check the status of Page Outs at 30 minute intervals. The faster the Page Outs mount up with your normal usage the more you'll benefit from an upgrade. -
Problem with Clip Usage and merged clips in CS6
The 'Clip Usage' drop-down menus don't seem to work in Premiere CS6 for merged clips. The info bar at the top of the project window correctly lists the number of times the viedo and audio from the clip has been used, and the downward-pointing arrow appears, but when you click on it... nothing happens. Same's true of the 'Video Usage' column in the main body of the project window. Non-merged clips work just fine.
Anyone know if this is just a problem with my project, or if it's a bug in Premiere? Had a lot of trouble with merged clips in CS5.5, and was hoping they'd be solved by CS6 - I've been using Creative Suite for a long time, and the lack of good merged clips support was always one of the challenges in persuading other indie editors to switch over from FCP...
Thanks!...and the lack of good merged clips support was always one of the challenges in persuading other indie editors to switch over from FCP...
I guess they just have to weigh that up against the lack of support they got from Apple for FCP in its entirety. -
Photoshop Premiere 9 vs 13? Are there any problems with CPU usage and crashing?
I stopped using Premiere, because they the computer would freeze and/or the program. I was curious if there was any issue with people currently using Version 13? I think I loaded it on this computer along with Photoshop Elements 9. After a while I just kept Photoshop Elements.
System Specs:
Windows 7 premium home edition
Processor Intel R Core TM i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30 GHz 2.30 GHz
Installed Memory 6.00GB 826 GB free
64 Bit Operating systemstephanies
If 64 bit, while 9 will be a 32 bit application with the limitations of a 32 bit application on 64 bit system, 13 will be a 64 bit application which translates into more computer resources available to 13.
Elements Organizer 9 will not integrate with Elements Organizer 13 although you can convert the 9 catalog in Elements Organizer 13. And there is a marked difference in the workspace between the two versions. Principles tend to stay the same, but features can be moved, changed, or discontinued.
I would have expected Premiere Elements 9/9.0.1 to have worked in your computer environment. Since it did not, I would strongly suggest that you look at the free 30 days tryout of Premiere Elements 13/13.1 in your computer environment to assure the compatibility of it with your computer environment and project goals.
Lots of causes for program crashes (any version).
a. Conflicts with antivirus program.
b. Problem with video card graphics card
c. Use of a pen and table device instead of mouse
d. Problematic source media and format conflicts
e. Not running program as Administrator
f. Poor installation
g. Failure to install QuickTime along with Premiere Elements on the computer
h. Not meeting System Requirements in some way.
i. Other

Please review and consider. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

The problem with upgrade memory module.
Available:
Cisco 2951 router with the default memory module 512Mb.
Additionally purchased:
Memory Module MEM-2951-1GB (SG572288FG8P6ILMH4)
Problem Description:
When you start seeing a hardware router modules, after loading the ROMMON
reading failure IOS image
The first module is worth the default 512M, 1G second unit acquired
The permutation modules as well as single use module 1G situation has not changed.
Work whether the module supplier sold me?It shouldn't cost you a fortune, John. I usually find Apple re-sellers very obliging on matters like this. Where did you buy your memory from? If it was Apple retail they may help and explain about the residue at the same time.
It's not unusual to meet difficulties with the fitting of memory but the residue is something I haven't met before. -
Massive problem with audio interface
Hi there.
I recently bought a brandnew iMac 27" Haswell i7. I encountered problems with my Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 audio interface. These are buzzing, clicking and noise immediately or after 3 minutes or so. I tried everything, re-installed the driveres several times, nothing, really nothing worked.
Then I bought an RME Babyface audio interface - and guess what? It's the same problem. I also have a massive sound noise after some minutes or the recording channel in Garage Band drops completely.
What is wrong here? I already tried using a different power plug, tried all USB ports, turned off WiFi, HDD sleep mode, etc. Nothing worked.
Do you have an idea?
I appeciate your help,
Adrian.same problem with my imac late 2012 27" 3.2ghz i5 and the motu ultrilite. up to now i have no solution for this problem. the worst i can't use them never before. since from the first day. i attempt everything. from re-install to fresh install. resetting the nvram and pram. formatting the hd and make a fresh install from the operating system. using balanced audio cables and so on...but same problem all time. even my technological knowledge and know how which i have as electrical engineer couldn't help me. first i was lucky to have apple care in those situations. after get back the imac from the service provider i sadly decide nothing has changed. and they would told me it runs all fine. in meantime i testing my ni audio dj8 over usb. it's similar with the ultralite because the buzzing, clicking and noise is not so extrem as it is on ultralite. but it's here.
the curios with my macbook pro and my old imac early 2008 it runs and works fine without problems. for next week i have fixed a new date by the service provider. but then with my intercace, monitors to simulate this error and i hope they find the reason. perhaps i can tell you some news or solutions next week. i'm relly curious about it.
