MBA how do you solve ram issues

I have a mid 2012 macbook air and when i first got it (with lion) after a fresh restart the FreeMemory app showed that I have about 7GB free. Now after installing a bunch of software, moving to Mountain Lion and just using the laptop as normal, after restart I can get just 5.2GB and after opening a few apps Skype/Chrome/Outlook i get to half my ram.
It is important for me to have more free ram, as I use many design apps. In the ActivityMonitor i can see that there are no apps that take up a lot of ram, but rather many small ones which add up.
Is there an app, or some other sort of solution that will remove all these processes and show me what I can safely switch off. I can't reinstall the OS at the moment since I don't have the time to spend on setting up my work evironment and installing fresh software and updates.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Oh and one more thing which is a result of the above memory proble -> battery life when unplugged from the AC is going down.

    How do you solve an issue with the card? I don't get the option of 'none'

    I had this exact same problem with the new iPhone I bought on 1/4/13. The walk through they provide on how to do this is useless because it fails to explain that if you are already having the problem of not getting the "None" payment option with an Apple ID then you will need to create a completely new Apple ID.
    I had to do this 7 times since I bought my iPhone on Friday until this morning to figure out how to finally be able to use the Home Sharing option in iTunes to put my music collection on my brand new $500.00 iPhone. Pretty pathetic if you ask me but since it made me so angry I want to make sure other know how to do this so you don't get as upset as I did.
    #1 If your current or soon to be "old" Apple ID is not providing the option for "None" as a payment option then you need to make a brand new one. But you have to make it specifically how I tell you.
    #2 You will need to use an email address that has not already been used for anything related to a previous Apple ID. You might need to make a brand new email address.
    #3 Open iTunes, then open iTunes Store (upper right corner of iTunes).
    #4 Click on App Store (upper center of screen).
    #5 Scroll down the screen page until you see Top Free Apps on the right side.
    #6 Choose any one of the FREE apps.
    #7 You should either get the option to create a new Apple ID box, either that, or it will pop up with some kind of disclaimer and then it does the create new Apple ID.
    Either way just create a new Apple ID when it gives you the option to and then when you get to the page that looks like the payment page the "None" payment option will finally be available.
    Note: You will still have to fill out the information on the payment page. As long as you choose the "None" option it will not request any credit card information.
    #8 You will be sent a confirmation email to the new email account. Just follow through with what ever it tells you and viola now you can use your Apple Device.
    What a pain in the keester, eh?

  • How do I solve the issue of this message "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" on my iTunes?

    How do I solve the issue of this message "you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" on my iTunes? I already went to the folder of iTunes inside the Finder and change all permissions to allow read and write... no improvement at all. Any help? thanks!

    Hi! I just realized I have two folders called library, one is inside HD alongside with System and users, then I have also "library" inside users, some of the folders are apparently repeated, some are missing. And all the music is inside a folder called iTunes Music, inside Music, inside users. Now that I relaized some folders are repeated I applied to all related to iTumes r/w permission. But the annoying message keeps coming on.
    And yes, I am using Leopard, 10.5.8.
    Any ideas?

    what version of iPHoto do you have? Of the OS? is the iPhoto icon you are speaking of in the Dock?
    re-read your post and try to provide information using standard Mac terms since we can not see you or your computer and only have your worrds to let us try to help you
    Somehow my "IPhoto" icon now says "Preview".  When I click on "Preview" nothing opens up except the bar says Preview.  When I click on the Preview on the bar, a box opens up with different items, except when I click on any of them, there is nothing there.  The only thing that work is the "quit preview".  However, it is still there where my IPhoto icon should be.  I can't get into my IPhoto.  How do I get rid of this "Preview" and how did it end up taking over the IPhoto icon???
    If you go to your Applications folder and double click on iPhoto what happen?

  • I have deleted all my videos songs and photos from my iphone 4 but when i connect to itunes it still shows 17gb free. how can I solve this issue without restore. Total storage of my iphone is 32 gb.

    I have deleted all my videos songs and photos from my iphone 4 but when i connect to itunes it still shows 17gb free. how can I solve this issue without restore. Total storage of my iphone is 32 gb.

    I don't see an issue, but if you mean why didn't you get most of your memory back you need to see what else is using storage. Go to Settings/General/Usage. Wait a bit for it to calculate storage allocation, then when it finishes you can see how much storage each app uses.

  • How would you solve the following Synch Async scenario?

    Hi,
    I have the following use case and would like to know thoughts from the community on how to solve it -
    There is a web based portal sending a create order request to ESB and the ESB does some message processing and passes it to a CRM to complete the order processing and generate a order id to be sent back to the portal user.
    Non Functional Requirements -
    1) Reliability
    2) Performance in terms of response time to the user.
    Issues -
    1) The web service exposed by CRM takes a long time to process the request and it is not acceptable that the Portal end user waits for that long to get the Order ID back..
    2) If we make a SOAP/HTTP call from Portal --> ESB and then another SOAP/HTTP call from ESB ---> CRM then the reliability is compromised.
    Solution -
    The solution that we are proposing is as follows -
    1) Make a SOAP/HTTP call from Portal to ESB and then put the message in a JMS Queue which will persist it. This will provide reliability and QOS.
    2) Generate a random unique number (which will act as the order id for the user) inside the ESB and send it back to the user immediately after persisting the message in the queue. Also persist this interim order id in a database.
    3) Pick the message from the queue using MDB or Proxy service (specific to Oracle Service Bus because that is what we have as an ESB) and send the message to CRM.
    4) CRM takes its own time to process the request from MDB and sends the response (actual OrderID in CRM) which is then persisted corresponding to the row in step#2. Thus for future search by the user we can use this mapping to get the actual order details from CRM.
    I do not see this as a scenario which is unique or unusual, where an Asynch request needs to made to look as synch to the user. But the solution we are proposing seems to be crude to me and with loopholes (like how to handle scenarios where CRM returns an error etc.) which would require lot of effort to be fixed.
    Questions -
    1) What is your opinion about the solution and suggestions about a better/cleaner way to implement it?
    2) Is there any standard approach to solve such kind of issue without creating so much of complexity (where we have to write code to keep the mapping and take care of all other issues)?
    3) Is there any pattern that can help solve this problem?
    4) Have you ever faced this issue and how did you solve it?
    Regards
    Ananya

    Hi Ananya,
    If its not required to give Order ID to Portal user immediately, you can update Portal with Order ID in async manner.
    What I propose is,
    1. Let Portal call in Async manner, thread is released. (JMS can be used as well to improve reliability.)
    2. CRM takes the request and responds with order id or an error, calls webservice of AIA.
    3. AIA's WS then update Portal with Order ID or error in proper format.
    Thanks,
    Manish

  • How to problem solve adf issue in the mx340 model

    how to problem solve adf issue in the mx340 model

    Alex,
    the missing thing in your example is the fact, that if only one value is selected, the parameter has exact this value like BOSTON. If you choose more than one value, the parameter includes the *'*, so that it looks like *'BOSTON','NEW YORK'*. So you need to check in the package, if there's a *,* in the parameter or not. If yes there's more than one value, if not it's only one value or it's null.
    So change your package to (you need to expand your variables)
    create or replace package bip_departments_2_parameters
    as
    p_dep_2_param varchar2(1000);
    p_loc_1_param varchar2(1000);
    p_where_clause varchar2(1000);
    function beforereporttrigger
    return boolean;
    end bip_departments_2_parameters;
    create or replace package body bip_departments_2_parameters
    as
    function beforereporttrigger
    return boolean
    is
    l_return boolean := true;
    begin
    p_where_clause := ' ';
    if p_dep_2_param is not null then
    if instr(p_dep_2_param,',')>0 then
    p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME in ('||p_dep_2_param||')';
    else
    p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME = '''||p_dep_2_param||'''';
    end if;
    if p_loc_1_param is not null then
    if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
    p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC IN ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
    else
    p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
    end if;
    end if;
    else
    if p_loc_1_param is not null then
    if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
    p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC in ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
    else
    p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
    end if;
    end if;
    end if;
    return (l_return);
    end beforereporttrigger;
    end bip_departments_2_parameters;

    Hello,
    Remedy and other similar products are the tools which track the Action / Time taken for resolving a call. Normally, once an issue is reported, that will be recorded in a tool with an estimated fix time. If the call is not fixed / actioned within the estimated time, it go as breached.
    The analyst need to update the call status in the tool. They will need to update the actions taken, call notes ..etc. Once the issue is fixed, you may set the call status as resolved. Once you set the status as resolved, the user who riased the issue will get an e-mail. They will confirm whether the issue is actually closed or not. Depends upon their cconfirmation, the status will be set to Closed or again Reopen.
    This is a typical helpdesk tool scenario.

    how do you solve a error 1015 when restoring a iphone from recovery mode?

    This error is generally exhibited when someone tries to downgrade iOS. See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This is the part you are looking for.
    Errors related to downgrading iOS
    The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported. 
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file.

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
