Memory discrepancy
Can anyone help. Since installing latest version of itunes, (7.0.1), my itunes music library seems to be taking up much more space. I have the music saved in windows also which is a folder of 47GB, but the itunes folder says it is 85GB. The two folders should be the same as I simply imported into itunes from the windows folder. I now cannot fit all my music on my ipod - very annoying. Any advice appreciated.
Some people save space by not having artwork on the iPod. Your space discrepency seems a little excessive to me though. I have ~42GB of music, 2GB of video and 800MB other. The other is album art.
Other iPod memory uses are imported pictures, outlook calender or contact data.

My Pavillion m9458f product specification states that this computer comes with 4 GB of memory. However, when I looked this up using control panel/system, it states that this computer only has 2 GB of memory. Why the discrepancy?
This question was solved.
View Solution.48Camz, welcome to the forum.
Here are 4 programs that you can use to determine the amount of memory in the computer.
Have you made any changes to the computer? Depending on the type of change, this can confuse the readings.
Also, you should Clear the CMOS to see if that helps:
To clear CMOS, follow these steps:
Temporarily set jumper CLEAR_CMOS to pins 2-4.
Wait 5-10 seconds and then return the jumper to pins 4-6.
On the next startup, enter BIOS setup to reset any custom BIOS settings.
This may solve your problem.

Memory discrepancy between iPod and iTunes
I just bought a new 30GB iPod today. My iTunes library says that I have 9.45GB used, but when I loaded the music onto the new iPod it says I've used 9.54GB - not 9.45GB. Why the discrepancy and how do I fix that?
Hi!
My name is Florian and I know, what´s youre problem...
With Windows XP, I think you have NTFS on your HDD.
When you format the iPod for Windows (the iPod's operating system can't have other) you have only FAT on your iPod.
Short intro in file systems:
your HDD is a circle. in the middle of the disc (lowest radius ) there is saved, where the files are on your HDD. Your HDD is composed out of litlle "squaers" (width is very, very little). and this squares have a definite bigness. in NTFS the bigness is just littler than in FAT. So if you have a part of a file (this squares are very very little capacity) you have a part of a file is littler than a sqare, this capacity is wasted.
==> bigger sqares in FAT => more waste.
Hope could help you. For more infos, visit wikipedia
(teh operating system of iPod (with games,...) is already abstracted from the 30 GB (the 30GB are not 30GB, only 27,89...) because of the management system of the file-system (FAT, NTFS,...))

Profiler and Windows Memory Discrepency
Hello. I am trying to debug an in house HTTP driver written in Java using Jprofiler. The program is called javaw.exe
At startup Process Explorer reports javaw.exe using 100MB of memory but Jprofiler reports approx. 5MB of objects and the heap being less than 20MB.
I poked around on Google and came to this page: http://www.javaperformancetuning.com/news/qotm043.shtml so I understand there is a difference between the OS reporting and the profiler reports.
Continuing on...
When I run a few batches of tests the memory in use for javaw.exe goes to approximately 1GB but when I force a GC 2-3x through JProfiler the heap goes from approx. 700MB down to 10MB. After this, Process Explorer still reports 1GB of memory being used.
Some people on my team only have 2GB per machine so this can potentially be a problem. Is there anyway to tell Windows to unallocate some of the memory the heap stops using? If not is there a GC I can use which can minimize the heap without affecting performance? Thanks for any help.If you want, you can make use of -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio option.
See http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/hotspot/vmoptions.jsp
You can use MaxHeapFreeRatio to control what the maximum % of heap is free before freeing occurs. By default, Java only return memory back to Windows if 70% of the heap is free (ie -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=70), by reducing the MaxHeapFreeRatio will cause VM to be more aggressive in terms of returning memory to Windows but would have some performance impact because of increasing number of expansion. -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=40 seems to be a good starting point. -
Hi guys,
it seems that the saga of DiskDrill's collateral goes on... sigh ...
I'll try to keep it short and concise...
- More or less 535 GB of space discpreancy
- Culprit is .cleverfile/hlink.ref <= FreeDiskSpace.app reads a uses of 1,28 Tb of space on a HD of 750 Gb (my guess: possible through multi layers of memory!)
- deleted it after deleting DiskDrill.app and all related files, whether in OS X sys or lib...
- deleted the hlink.ref monster of 1,29 Tb => into the trash...
- the .cleverfile dir/hlink.ref never showed up in the trash, trash shows empty as 0 Kb
Steps taken:
- No backup, timecapsule... of any sorts, I have made sure that there is not any processes (at least apprent ones) running and blocking virtual memory
- checked HD
- Repaired permissions
- Erased empty space
- reindexed HD
- restarted MacBook Pro
Results:
- still the same 535 GB of memory discrepancy!
I remembered that in Preferences/Security-Privacy/Firewall/FirewallOptions I had a blocked incoming connection in deep in a folder, deep in that hlink.ref in that .cleverfliel folder! I went to check the blocked connection was still there, so I right clicked opened in the finder!!!
THIS IS SO UNREAL?!?!? SEE IT FOR YOURSELF! IT'S ALL ON THE SCREENSHOT:
- 1 TRASH FOLDER WITH 0 FILES AND 1,28 TB
- ANOTHER TRASH FOLDER WITH 0 FILES AND 5 MB
- HD CAPACITY OF 750 Gb WITH 50 Gb OF MEMORY AVAILABLE
- HD FINDER FOLDER WITH ONLY +/- 160GB OF USED MEMORY ACCOUNTED FOR
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME AND GIVE ME A TERMINAL OR SUDO COMMAND TO DELETE THAT HIDDEN FOLDER FROM THE TRASH BIN!!!
PLEASE... HELP ME SOLVE IT THIS MISTERY OF HIDDEN FOLDER...
Thanks a million...
Max
P.S.: Guys, if there is a lesson out it, is the following I will never use DiskDrill, ever again! it isn't worth it at all, it just creates a mess!Hi xmetienne,
The Mac operating system may have difficulty emptying the Trash if it contains files with names containing special characters. If you rename those files, you should be able to Empty them from the Trash. See this article -
You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1526
Very likely the files or folders with names starting with a period, such as .cleverfiles are treated in this fashion.
Renaming files and folders is described in this article -
OS X Mountain Lion: Rename files and folders
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10646
Note that while the article says it is about Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, the same procedure applies to Mavericks.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Hi, I have a peculiar question. I received an ipod classic 80gb silver face for X mas this year. I have imported 2000 songs into it, and it has used up 11.71 gb.
Now my wifes 4th generation 30 gb ipod has 500 songs on ti, but has used up 8.4gb!!
We both import at the same rate, AAC/128. Is there a difference between the newer models? Are they more efficient with storage space, or is my wife's ipod whacked?
Thanks for your time.Video takes up a lot more space than photos. There's no hard and fast rule, but video can be up to a gig a minute but photos don't have time spans, however I have seen a single photo be up to 70+ megs.
Quality and (in the terms of video length) determine file size. Photos can also just be a few kilibytes.
I've never found an absolute to deletion, what I tend to do is err on the side of caution. Back them up somewhere and then delete off your ipad to free up room.
The iPad really isn't the best place for long term storage. -
I have:
MS 6390 LE w/ lan v 1.00
AMD XP 1700 w/hsf
30G WD hard drive 5400rpm
128 M ddr266 memory
Antec case with an Antec sl300 PSU
floppy
zip 100
MS 8348 Dragonwriter CD RW(currently not working yet, but am working on that too)
Everything seems to be working, and I flashed the bios to the current version not for the pcb 2.0, and I have this question,
When booting up the memory test only shows 98 m memory and 32+ shared memory. After it boots up, and I am in Windows 98se, it only shows 96 m memory and the system is at 70%.
Have I done something wrong, or is there something else wrong? The machine doesn't seem to run as fast as I would expect it to, but then the HD is a slower model. And I can't get the cd rw to work, but that is a different problem i posted to another forum.
Thanks!No, it doesn't appear that you have done anything wrong. You do have 128mb (96+32=128). The reason for the bios showing 98mb and windows showing 96 is in how it counts megabytes. Windows see's megabytes as 1 000kb. Your bios see's mb's as 2^10=1024kb. This accounts for the discrepancy you see when you boot up and your 128mb stick is seen as 131mb.
As for system resources, you only have 96 mb RAM available for Windows. Add up what you have running in the background as well as what Windows normally needs and you're about right. -
Power Mac G5 (late 2005) memory showing two different speeds
Alright, here's the situation. I have a late 2005, Dual 2,0Ghz, water cooled, model, G5 Power Mac tower. These have 8 memory slots, (1 upper bank of 4 slots and one lower bank of 4 slots located directly above and below each other on the motherboard). The two inside slots (the two slots that are closest together - one from each bank) are labeled slot 1. Then the next two slots (moving outward from the middle) are slots 2, then slots 3, then slots 4. Anyway,according to the Apple specs, the memory should be set up in matching pairs of like modules: i.e. slots one = 2 X 1GB sticks of matching PC4200, slots 2 = 2 matching sticks of PC4200, etc., etc, up to a total of 8 GBs of compatible memory.
I have 8 X 1GB sticks of "matching" Kingston PC4200 memory installed, and it even shows up on the "About This Mac" page as 8 GB. However, if you take this one step further and proceed to the "More Info" page, under the "Hardware" tab, the "memory" info it shows up as 4 sticks of DDR2-PC4200, and 4 sticks of DDR2-PC3200. Ironically, slots 0,1,2,3 indicate as PC-4200 (533Mhz), and slots 4,5,6, & 7 indicate as PC-3200 (400Mhz). Can anyone give me some insight as to why this would be happening? I've also re-arrainged the memory modules, but the memory speed discrepancy stays the same.
Any help would be appreciated!It's likely no problem if everything is running fine, some SPIDIF chip anomoly I think.

Memory usage in Analysis Services tabular model
Hello,
I've been researching and investigating trying to understand what is consuming memory resources in a tabular model that I'm working with. Using SQL Server Management Studio, the Estimated Size of the database is reported as 7768.34 MBs. Using
Kasper de Jonge's BISM Server Memory Report, the database is reported as 15,465.13 MBs. However, a majority of the fields in the BISM Server Memory Report are empty, and so I cannot determine what is consuming the memory. The data source for this particular
workbook is $SYSTEM.DISCOVER_OBJECT_MEMORY_USAGE.
For example: I drill-down to an individual column (ColumnA) in the BISM Server Memory Report (Database > Dimensions > Table > In-Memory Table > Columns > Column) and the reported memory usage is 706.97 MBs. Underneath ColumnA,
I see a blank level with a reported memory usage of 623.59 MBs and a Segments level with a reported memory usage of 83.39 MBs. Looking at $SYSTEM.DISCOVER_STORAGE_TABLE_COLUMN_SEGMENTS, if I SUM the USED_SIZE for ColumnA, it totals roughly 83 MBs which matches
what is reported in the BISM Server Memory Report for the segment size. How do I determine what the other 623.59 MBs is being used for? Again, this discrepancy occurs for all columns in the model and not just this one example.
Thanks!Follow up to my original question. It appears that the blank levels (at least under the column level) the Kasper de Jonge's BISM Server Memory Report reports the dictionary size of the column. The memory usage size matches the DICTIONARY_SIZE attribute in
the $SYSTEM.DISCOVER_STORAGE_TABLE_COLUMNS. I made a mis-assumption as to what the information $SYSTEM.DISCOVER_STORAGE_TABLE_COLUMN_SEGMENTS was providing.
In my original post I reference one database in particular in where the Estimated Size property in the Database Properties dialog is listed as 7,768.34 MBs. and the $SYSTEM.DISCOVER_OBJECT_MEMORY_USAGE reports 15,465.13 MBs. Thoughts, comments, or opinions
on why the Estimated Size property does not match what's reported in $SYSTEM.DISCOVER_OBJECT_MEMORY_USAGE?
Thanks! -
VM does not assign all available memory to Server 1.5Gig missing
We have a number of different servers all with 5gig memory. However I can only assign 3046m to the VM
I am running on Oracle VMs with Oracle Enterprise Linux 64bit on these machines. However there is a large discrepency with the Memory on the VM and the actual memory in the machines, here is some information I have:
On the server itself if I do free -m gives me:
Total: 563 used: 205 free: 357
xm info|grep mem gives:
total_memory : 5046
free_memory : 1343
dmesg |grep mem gives
vmalloc area: e4800000-feffe000, maxmem 377fe000
Memory: 495616k/584704k available (2051k kernel code, 80632k reserved, 818k data, 176k init, 0k highmem)
My understanding of the above is that the Machine is allocated 0.5gig and the Current VM is assigned 3gig leaving almost 1.5gig unassigned and free. However, if I log into the VM Manager and try and assign the extra free memory to the VM, I get an error saying the maximum I can assgin is 3046.
In VM Manager I check the sever tab for the machine the VM is assgined to I can see:
Memory Size(MB): 3046.
xm list gives the following information, which I think sort of confirms my assumptions:
Name ID Mem VCPUs State Time(s)
70_ebstestapps 1 3046 2 -b---- 303.6
Domain-0 0 563 4 r----- 83.4
I am guessing this is my problem. Although the memory is available on the machine, when creating the server with VM Manager it is only picking up 3046!! I am unable to edit this value and have tried rebooting the server but the same value appears.
How can I fix this problem? any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

Edited by: user4862131 on 21-Jan-2010 02:48-Hi,
By reading the various e-mails it appeared as if people were complaining about the "server itself" seeing ~512Mb and it was on that basis that I send out my reply.
We have a 8 Quad-Core CPU system with 128Gb memory connected via Fibre Channel to a series of storage arrays. The storage array control software is installed on the base (dom0) VM so the device can be accessed via the fibre channel controller, and the storage can be configured and manged without any of the other virtual machines being create and/or running, as that is the storage were the VMs will ultimately be stored. The storage can be controlled over the network but that would require yet another system and we are trying to minimize the amount of hardware needed to manage the server. With only 512Mb of memory available to the dom0 VM, the software installation was taking forever because all of the 512Mb of physical memory available was used, and the system was swapping. So far everything is "working" for us so there must be enough of the Linux OS there to run the storage array control software.
My reply has no bearing for people addressing difficulties assigning some or all of available physical memory to virtual machines they create. Sorry for any confusion, but I'm new to OVM as well... -
Discrepancy in report execution duration
Hello,
Everyday we are executing audit reports which tells us report execution time for all our daily scheduled reports. Here we have observed some discrepancy between the time shown in the instance history verses auditing report's data. For example, if XYZ report took 120 seconds to execute, our auditing report shows 110 seconds only (-10 sec difference); however instance status in report history shows 120 sec only.
Here are environment details:
Product: SAP BI 4.0 SP6 Patch 6
Server OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
CMS DB: Oracle 11g R2
Auditing DB: Oracle 11g R2
We would like to know why there is a difference? Please advise!

System memory vs disk usage -- why is my hard drive almost full if my system memory is half empty?
I have a white Macbook, 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of memory, Mac OS X, version 10.5.8, purchased in 2008. My Mac keeps warning me that my startup disk is almost full, and indeed Activity Monitor shows that my disk usage has minimal free space (2.31 GB). However, the System Memory tab shows that half my space is free.
Does the discrepancy mean that there is lots of space left on my Mac? If not, how can I identify if some sort of error is filling up my memory? Right now, I have a lot of music and documents stored on my laptop, but nothing else, and I would like to be sure it's those two things that are filling up the space.
What is the recommended method for adding more memory to my Mac, if nothing else?There are two different types of memory in your Mac. There is system memory, more commonly referred to as RAM, and there is disk space. RAM is where the Mac works on data. Disk space is where data is stored for long term storage.
You are in serious danger of causing your Mac to die completely by running it with so little free space on your system drive. It is imperative that you start either deleting or move data off the disk drive. You should have 8 to 10 time as much free space at least at all times for OS X to run will.
A tool that can with cleaning up your disk drive is OmniDiskSweeper. It will tell you the files and fol,der that are using the most space. That will give you good candidates for deletion or movement.

Compare system state (number and types of objects in memory)
We have 2 exactly identical servers running our application talking to the same database.
When some obejct from server 1 is deleted, a message is passed to server 2 to delete the object from its cache too.
Forget the database, I want to design a testing system which compares the system-state (number and type of live-objects) in memory for server 1 and server 2 after the operation and the message, and reports any discrepancy.
Any ideas ?Are you trying to debug a distributed cache implementation?
If you want to inspect the state of your application on multiple servers creating a JMX bean might be a solution.

I only have a small number of photos that add up to less than 30mb, but my storage in ipad states 2.4gb of photo memory, I have ran a number of cache cleaners and photo checkers but I cannot clear this excess memory.
When I try to sync it says to the imac it says it cannot locate the iphoto library
Any help would be appreciatedHello dannyboybell,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that there is a discrepancy in what you see for photo storage on your iPad. One step I would recommend in this situation would be to place your iPad into recovery mode and select Update when given the choice. This will not erase any of your content. The attached article doesn’t match your issue, but the troubleshooting steps I would suggest are similar.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
Have a great day,

Converting Songs and Shuffle Memory
Hey there. I purchased my iPod shuffle (1G) around two months ago and I think that Apple did everyone a favor by coming up with the iPod. It's an amazing piece of technology.
I just have a few questions about the iPod options. I have alloted 129 MB for data storage on my shuffle, and with that space reserved, I was able to put 192 songs on my shuffle before it said that there is not enough memory to put in more songs. I recently tried clicking on the option "convert higher bitrate songs to 128 kbps AAC for this iPod", and I was able to put in up to 217 songs (and counting) total. Is this normal? What's puzzling me is that there is a discrepancy between the memory displayed in iTunes. On one of the displays (while autofilling), reads 956.7 MB. But the one below it displays that only 846.3 MB is used. Do I still have the 129 MB I reserved for my data? Whenever I check the iPod options, it displays that 129 MB is indeed reserved for data.
I would really appreciate any enlightenment regarding this.
Thanks!Hey Todd. Thanks for the response. The data part of my shuffle isn't full but I have two documents saved in it which are about 150 KB in total. They're still there. Do you think I should try filling it up?
