Memory Leak Lenovo X201 and Windows 8

Hi,
I'm having a memory leak issue with my X201 and Windows 8. My system starts almost without memory, taking 6.7 of 7.8 GB RAM.
More people seem to have the same problem:

How to fix huge iTunes memory leak in 64-bit Windows 7?

iTunes likes to allocate as much as 1.6GB of memory on my dual-quad XEON 8GB 64-Bit Windows computer and then becomes unresponsive.
This can happen several times a day and has been going on for as long as I can remember. No other software that I use does this - only Apple's iTunes. Each version I have installed of iTunes appears to have this same memory leak. Currently I am running version 10.7.0.21.
I love iTunes when it works. But having to constantly kill and relaunch the app throughout the day is bringing me down.
Searching for a fix for this on the internet just surfaces more and more complaints about this problem - but without a solution.
Having written shrinkwrapped software for end users as well as for large corporations and governments for more than 25 years I know a thing or two about software. A leak like this should take no more than a day or two to locate using modern software tools and double that to fix it. So why with each new version of iTunes does this problem persist? iTunes for Windows is the flagship software product Apple makes for non-Mac users - yet they continue to pass up each opportunity they have had over the years with each new release to fix this issue. Why is this?
Either the software engineers are not that good or they have been told NOT to spend time on this issue. I personally believe that the engineers at Apple are very good, and therefore am left thinking that the latter is more likely the case. Maybe this is to coax people to purchase a Mac so that they can finally run iTunes without these egregious memory leaks. I would like to offer another issue to consider.
Just as Amazon sold Kindles and Google sold Nexus tablets at low cost - not counting on margin for profit - but instead they wanted to saturate the marketplace with tools for making future purchases of content almost trivial to do with their devices. Apple also counts on this model with their pricer hardware - but they also have iTunes. Instead of trying to get people to switch to a MAC by continuing to avoid fixing this glaring issue in iTunes for Windows I would like to suggest that by allowing their engineers to address this issue that Apple will help keep Windows users from jumping ship to another music app. The profit to be made by keeping those Windows users happy and wedded to the iTunes store is obvious.
By continuing to keep this leak in iTunes for Windows all it does is lower my esteem for the company and start to make me wonder if the software is just as buggy on Macs.

I have same issue. Ongoing for more than 1 year and currently running iTunes 11.3.
My PC is Dell OptiPlex 990 I7 processor, 8GB ram, W7 64 [always keep things patched up to latest OS updates etc]
I use this iTunes install to stream music videos etc to multiple appleTVs, ipads, iphones etc .. via Home Sharing
Store all my media including music, videos and apps on separate NAS .. so the iTunes running on PC is only doing the traffic cop role and streaming / using files stored on NAS .. creates lots of IO across my network
Previous troubleshooting suggest possible contributing causes include
a) podcast updates .. until recently I had this auto updates on multiple podcast subscriptions, presumably the iTunes would flow this from the PC to save on the NAS across the network .. if the memory leak is in the iTunes network communication layer (?bonjour?) this may be sensitive to IO that would not normally occur if the iTunes file saving was local on the same PC
b) app updates .. have 200+ apps in my library and there is always a batch of updates .. some updates 100s of MB is size .. routinely see 500MB to 1GB of updates in single update run .. all my apps are
c) streaming music / movies .. seems when we ramp up streamlining of music or movies . memory leak grows faster .. ie within hours of clean start
c) large syncs of music or videos to ipads or iphones .. noticed that get big problems when I rebuild an ipad .. I typically have 60+ GB of data in terms of apps / music / videos to load .. have to do rebuild in phases due to periodic lockups

Memory Leak using CertOpenStore on Windows 2008 R2

I have a program (runs both 32 and 64 bit ) that when using CertOpenStore results in a memory leak on Windows 2008 R2 only (I haven't tried 2012, but this code has run for years on 2000, 2003, 2008 without issues)
Sample code to reproduce the issue:
int main( int argc, char** argv )
HCERTSTORE store;
int go = 1;
while( go ){
store = CertOpenStore(
CERT_STORE_PROV_SYSTEM_A,
0,
0,
CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_LOCAL_MACHINE | CERT_STORE_OPEN_EXISTING_FLAG,
"MY" );
if( store ){
//if( !CertCloseStore( store , CERT_CLOSE_STORE_CHECK_FLAG ) ){
if( !CertCloseStore( store , CERT_CLOSE_STORE_FORCE_FLAG ) ){
if( GetLastError() == CRYPT_E_PENDING_CLOSE ){
printf( "!" );
else{
go = 0;
else{
go = 0;
Sleep( 10 );
return 0;
The callstack for allocations pretty much are all like this (this is from a 32 bit process on a 2008R2 box)

Photoshop CS6 memory leak when idle and nothing open

Photoshop CS6 runs away with memory after being used and then going idle. If I open up PS and leave it, it will be ok but as soon as I open any file it will go up in memory usage (which is normal) but when I close all files and hide PS the memory will stay high never goes back down. When I close PS and re-open (no files open) again it idles at 300Mb memory but when I open a file then close it and then hide/idle PS it raises and stays around 1.25-1.5 GB if not more.
I have tried to Purge All, and even hide all menus to no avail. I have even tried to close Suitcase (eleminiate any font issues) and still same problem. I am running PS bone stock, no extra plug-ins.
Any ideas on why it would be doing this would be greatly appreciated!
My Computer:
Photoshop 13.0.1
MacBookPro
OS 10.6.8
CPU: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Mem: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
HD: 300GB (30GB Free)

Photoshop is not supposed to free memory when you close documents -- that's normal, because the memory gets reused.
Yes, opening a file makes the memory usage go up - because space is needed for the document and it's window.
None of what you said describes a leak, and sounds like perfectly normal behavior.

Memory leak with fieldpoint and labview

I have an application which is showing an issue of a memory leak. The application does several things, but the part that seems to be causing the trouble is related to use of Fieldpoint VIs. The application reads individual AI channels on a Fieldpoint AI-110 (10 channels, where the set of channels is measured once per second) I have attached the code related to this. The memory leak is quite large (~1.5GB in 24 hours of operation).
I am using LabView 7.1, and Fieldpoint 4.1. The parent application which uses the attached code is a stand-alone application. The operating system is Windows 2000. Fieldpoint communication occurs over a RS-232 link.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Hi Andy,
I did not see anything fundamentally wrong with what you wrote, but there were
a few things that I think could be used to be changed. However, there
were a few things that I did modify that might make a bit of a
difference. In your application you were using sequences and a bunch of
local variables. Since LabVIEW is based upon data flow, you can control
the sequence of execution by making data dependencies and simply wiring one
thing to the next. By simply using LabVIEW the way it is meant to run I
was able to completely remove the sequence structure and also eliminate the use
of all of the local variables, all while having the exact same execution order.
It could be that the local variables were causing the memory leak that you
noticed, but I really doubt they could be the cause of such a large leak.
I really think there is probably something else going on in the application
because from what I saw from this bit of code there really is no way that it
would have such large problems. Users use the FP commands daily without
any problems, so most likely these are not the root of the problem.
Go ahead and try the modified code and see if you can implement similar local
and global variable reducing techniques throughout your application.
Hopefully that will help reduce some of the memory leaks you are seeing.
Typically the largest cause of an apparent memory leak really occurs from
building an array within a loop, so make sure you don't have any situations
where that occurs in your code either.

Memory leak with jsp and beans

The application we have created has one particular page that is designed to stay up in the browser and refresh with new information from database queries once every 60 seconds. Running with Tomcat3.2.1 and IE5.5
The problem is that the memory usage of java.exe continues to grow until the machine crashes from out of memory. It does take more than 24 hours to crash.
Things I have tried to do to track down the problem or eliminate the problem.
- I have explicitly set the scope of the beans to "page"
- I have watched the DatabaseAccess.class (the beans are all extended from this class) and put in code to watch how many instantiations of the class are made and subsequently garbage collected. This appears to be where the memory leak may reside - hundreds of instantiations from some other source than the page I am displaying.
- the top frame makes database queries for security and display of a menu system dependant upon security clearance. It does not set any time for refresh (refresh == 0). Nor does it explicitly set a scope for the beans.
- I have run a different jsp engine to see if this was directly related to Tomcat - same problem with resin2.0.0
The main jsp page that is in the bottom section of the page has the following code:
** only the relevant lines are included here
<%@ include file="../../common.jsp" %>
<%
refresh=60;
%>
<head>
<%@ include file="../../meta_head.jsp" %>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#003399" link="#660099" vlink="#990099" alink="#006666" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<%@ include file="../../access.jsp" %>
<%@ include file="../../page_title.jsp" %>
<jsp:useBean id="Line" class="jsp.Line" scope="page" />
<jsp:useBean id="Machine" class="jsp.Machine" scope="page"/>
<jsp:useBean id="Alarm_log" class="jsp.Alarm_log" scope="page"/>
contents of meta_head.jsp
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<META HTTP-EQUIV= "expires" content = "0">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no_cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache" forua="true">
<META NAME="robots" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW">
<%
if (refresh > 0)
%>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="<%= refresh %>">
<%
If anyone has some suggestions on how to trap this memory leak, it would be terrific. Or, some other things to try to stop the instantiation of the DatabaseAccess object (perhaps setting the scope of the beans in the header to "session" or "application"?).
Thanks in advance.
Roberta

jsp:useBean tags scope declaration :
page = Create a new instance on each load.
session = Load instance from the session, if not there, create one
application = Load instance from the ServletContext, if not there, create one.
Not sure how you are populating the data variables, but make sure you are closing all ResultSet, (Prepared)Statement, and Connection objects.

LV memory leak - How to use windows API SetProcessWorkingSetSize (from Kernel32.dll)

Hi fellow LV'ers
Okay - this is a bit tricky, but i'll try and explain the problem, then ask for the solution, because it may be that someone knows a better way to deal with this.. might get a bit long, sorry - if a solution comes up this will enable all of us to make more memory efficient LV code so please read on..
Here is the deal:
When building even a very simple LV executable, looking at the windows task manager will yield a rather large amount of memory allocated for such a small program - and the only way to free this up is by physically clicking the windows minimize button, then suddenly the amount drops to only a few MB and upon maximizing the window again the memory consumption will increase somewhat again, but for a simple VI build to an exe this move may change the consumption from +70MB to less than 15 MB.. This is irregardless of the code you put in the VI, so no coding example in this post as it is how LV works - you can even test it with the development environment - look at the task mgr and check LabVIEW's memory consumption, minimze ALL open NI windows incl project explorer etc, and you will see a significant decrease in memory usage even after maximizing again.. This has annoyed me since day one, but since RAM is a near zero cost these days it is not something I stay awake at night to think about.. However - I have moved into the "publish to web" tools now, wanting to do a remote monitoring part for my application for my customers to experience increased usability from the software i sell them..
All is well, publishing is really easy (i use the monitor function, NOT the embeded, as customers need not have Labview RunTimeEngine installed, because they might look at it from a non RTE supported platform such as a mobilephone web browser)
Everything is working fine also for the build application. However - I have noticed that once users start to remote monitor the running application - memory consumption of the running LV application starts to increase - and it keeps doing so - to such an extend that you can drain the computer complete and run off the cliff with a windows error... This is off course not very productive for me, being specialized in measurement applications that usually runs for a long period of time - I initially thought that I had done some poor programming in the VI used to display on the webpage - but it turns out that I can reproduce this behaviour with a simple boolean on an empty front panel..
NI support has been informed, and they admit there is a problem, but so far solutions from them has been a bit too exotic for my taste, and thus I'm seeking the help of fellow LV programmers...
You see - The method to solve the increasing memory consumption, is the exact same as mentioned above..minimize the application running with the "minimize" button and all memory will be freed, as soon as you maximize the application and users are viewing it remotely, the memory usage raises again, and history repeats... As previously mentioned, minimizing the window via normal LV calls to property nodes does not yield the same result, nor does a request deallocation of a VI(When you profile a project, there are no VI's increasing in memory, it is the LV process it self doing it)
After many many hours googling I stumbled upon this:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=293215
I believe trimming the process with SetProcessWorkingSetSize would solve this problem, and now I would really like to be able to do this in my program, so that users are not forced to minimize the program every X hour depending on their system size...
However - I have absolutely NO experience in calling windows API from LV, i need someone with that knowledge to provide an example of how to call this.. I've looked at examples on how to do calls to windows API - there is an example in this forum with some llb's in it, and I have gained a fair understanding of how parameters are passed between the calls, but none of those include the "hProcess" handle that is apparently needed for this specific winAPI call to work - Anyone in this forum with the knowledge on how to obtain this handle from a VI, if at all possible, and could provide an example VI for me to use - or even better , someone with the knowledge of how to do this within LV it self??
Your help is much appreciated
Best Regards
Jacob
LV8.6.1 patch something
Win XP
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Enrico
Finally I can give something to the community that has given me so much :-)
The "official" statement is that "yes we know it is a problem".. Not sure what that will do to the future..
I have the problem on 8.6.1 as well - and in fact it is a general LV problem, that I first time reported to NI with LV8.2 as I was pissed by the fact that even the smallest exe file would consume + 50MB of memory until you manually minimized the window. Well - thanks to the feedback from Cosmin I seem to have solved the problem.
I most warn that having started to "empty process" once in a while has led to occasional program crashes in the lethal "app.exe performed an illegal action and is closed" windows dialog - however what I did was to move the webserver to a seperate exe file and then communicate the data that I want to use via datasocket in a cluster.. It works like a charm and I simply stall the single thread that the webserver is running when ever the empty process is called and I have not seen a crash since then.. (the initial implementation was done in the main app with 4 parallel loops running, and I guess that was a disaster waiting to happen)
Either way - what I have done is made a VI that at a user defined interval calls the empty process, simply by getting the .exe name from the task manager of the calling program - it is simple and very effective. I call it every 5 minutes - needless to say that flushing too often will most likely kill performance of the system. I have not noticed problems with VM - are you sure you are not storing large arrays or moving around copies of data not used frequently?
For future reference to this forum, it is attached here including the .dll required to call - it is a LV8.6.1 file as I have not had the time to yet again test every single function of my program for new problems that could occur with upgrading to LV2009
I hope this solves your problem..
best regards

Memory leaks with Njawin and COm Object

I'm using njawin 1.1 to use a DRM Microsoft object form java and all works
very well .... very good bridge !!
But I found a problem that seems like a "memory leak" in calling a method,
in this lines code :
myLicense = myLicenseObj.GetLicenseToDeliver();
System.out.println(myLicense);
myResponseObj.AddLicense("2.0.0.0", myLicense);
myResponseObj.setReplaceQuotesWith("\\\"");
myLicResponse = myResponseObj.GetLicenseResponse();
The only particularity in this code the length of myLicense string : 7 KB
If I run the program 1000 times the server use 100 Mb of ram and not release
them.
I try to use ASP to replicate the problem but nothing happens ... the
program works and not memory leak appears and than I think taht the probelm
may be in marshalling / unmarshalling string routine from/to the DRM object
Thanks a lot for all help

Lenovo X201 and 3g dongle compatibility

Hi
Please firstly excuse my ignorance.
I have recently purchased a Lenovo X201 but am having an issue getting connected to Orange 3g using a Huawei dongle. Usually and to the best of my knowledge these setups are plug and play, but when the device is installed it doesn't recognise the hardware as a dongle but as a mass storage device.
Is it likely that the dongle needs replacing or will I have to download any other software and/or can I only use the 3g with an additional purchase of some hardware i.e. Gobi2000 (what is this and what does it do?)
Your help is appreciated

hey Jim1low,
for this you will need to check with Orange 3G, you may need to install a driver/software specific to the Huawei dongle.
this is probably the reason why the dongle is recognized as a storage device instead.

Lenovo z710 and windows 10

hello, I'm a proud owner of my lenovo z710, Yesterday i upgraded from windows 8.1 to 10 home. There were a few problems, after the upgrade the system was unstable and laggy. After installing the windows 10 drivers from the support page , those who were available , helped to make it more stable but there a still performance bugs, the energy manager isn't full compatible , its still not (made) for windows 10 , in fact it's only for windows 8. I was aslo not able to find the dedust option? how can i use this option ? The Lenovo veriface program doesen't work anymore. An other wierd thing is , when i tried to instal the windows 10 drivers , the installer warned me that it was an older version. all intel drivers were older then the installed version? how is that possible? they are only a month on the lenovo support driver site ? There are still a lot of bugs in the drivers.PRIOR: energy manager intel drivers lenovo software : veryface one key recovery

Since Windows 10 is a ways off from GA release, I don't think you'll find Win10-specific drivers until much closer to, or right after release.
We we do have a Win10-specific discussion forum: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-10/bd-p/EN-win10
if you'd like to interact with other testers / early adopters.

Information regarding lenovo notebooks and windows 10

hello everyone, i hava question regarding windows 10 and lenovo notebooks. i read the last news about window10 and i noticed that this new update of Ms will not be delivered by windows update but ms will provide us an iso for fresh installation. I guess that doing this ill lose all lenovo apps and customization is correct?will lenovo provide to his customers an iso? or a method for updating the system without loosing his customization? regards

Hello,
Could you please provide a link to the article? I haven't heard anything official yet announcing all the ways Windows 10 would officially be distributed, but I would imagine it would be delivered in multiple ways by Microsoft. The one I have heard the most about is the upgrade which installs over the existing operating system, while preserving programs and settings to the best of its ability.
My guess would be that the Windows recovery partition would not be touched at all, since that is how previous Windows upgrades have worked.
The Get Windows 10 app will tell you if there are known incompatible devices or software on your computer. Information on how to check this can be found in this message.

HT203175 Is anyone having memory leak issues with 64bit Windows 7 and iTunes?

iTunes runs for a period of time and then a dialog box appears. It takes longer if you let the program change tracks as in a playlist. You can accelerate the process by picking a new song after they play for a while (double click). Eventually, you get a dialog box that states - The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occured (-50). Eventually, the program locks up.

One thing that you can try that i read was disable the iTunesHelper.exe program either by the msconfig program or just disable the service. Appearently this can cause a similar issue. All this program does is open iTunes when you connect your iPod to your USB port. I am wondering what 64bit patches you guys are on? Maybe if you list them we can figure out if some Microsoft patch is causing this issue, a circumstance, or bad programming from Apple. I will review my system and list my patches tomorrow. I dont remember this always happening, nor do I remember it only happening after an upgrade to the iTunes.exe or iTunes files. Sometimes, things seems a certain way until you really find out their root cause. I am still trying to find some time to finish debugging the application. I didnt realize how big the symbols directory was for Microsoft. I am finding myself juggling disk space since i am using a laptop.

Lenovo G560 and windows 8.1

Hi
This question is related to a laptop (Lenovo G560) with "Intel HM55 chipset + Integrated Intel HD graphics w/ shared video memory".
I wanted to know if windows 8.1 will run on it (At present it is running on windows 7 hom basic). The lenovo site does not have a chipset driver for windows 8 but there is one for windows 7.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_IN/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?DocID=HT072731
Windows 7 has following drivers -
Intel Chipset driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)
Intel Management Engine Interface for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)
Windows 8 has only -
Intel Management Engine Interface Driver for Microsoft Windows 8
Does windows 8 does need intel chipset driver? Does windows 8.1 have a generic inbuilt driver for this chipset? Will it work? Please help?
Also - will windows 7 drivers work in windows 8.1.

hi rohit2276,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I tried checking the drivers on the Intel Websie for chipset drivers,
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx?lang=eng
And no drivers as well for chipset on Windows 8 and 8.1
The Chipset HM55 is fully supported on WIndows 8 thus not needing additional Software installation.
Yes the Windows 7 Drivers should work by doing a manual installation , but those are not recommended.
Since Windows 8 drivers are released for this model it means that the system should do fine with Windows 8 /8.1
