Memory problems MacBook Pro
I have Parallels installed on my Mac and get the message "no program memory available" when opening Iphoto. Who can help me? Thank you
There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Please note that if the cause is a memory leak, installing more memory will not help. That's likely if you already have more than 4 GB of memory. Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 and later. Some details may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
In your case, iPhoto is clearly leaking memory. Quit it and see whether it continues to do that.

gta 4 steam !If GTA IV believes the system is under specification even though the computer is powerful enough to run the game with higher settings, the following will fix this problem.
This will work if your problem looks like this: "resource usage 230/60" and you can't change any other setting
Just follow the steps:
Step 1: Create a text file named ‘commandline.txt’ (without the " ")
Step 2: Put the following statement inside it:
i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 (with the -)
i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0 (with the -)
Step 3: Open the main GTAIV folder (C/ program files (86)/ rockstar games/ GTA IV) and copy the commandline.txt file into it.
Step 4: locate the file "GTAIV.exe" (in GTA main folder)
Right click the file and select Properties
Under the shortcut tab, you will see an area that says Target
Modify the Target adding the command line after the last quotation mark (just add the statement you added in commandline.txt)
(remember, i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 / i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0)
It should look something like this:
Make sure to add space between " and -"
I hope This helps, although late cx -

High memory usage, MacBook PRO retina 16Gb
Hi,
I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch 16Gb
Processor 2,5 Ghz Intel Core i7
Graphics Intel Iris Pro 1536 Mb
OS: OS X Yoseminte v10.10.2
I'm having a problem with my ram. I think its eating too much rum when I'm not doing anything..
Please find my screenshots attached.
And this is how it looks when I have the Adobe Photoshop open (a small psd file 5,2Mb), Microsoft Word (1 page), Itunes, And the Chrome Browser (12 tabs opened)
Can someone help me with this issue? Why is it eating that much RAM?
If there is any other info that you need for this situation please tell me so I can get that for you.
Thank youWith the introduction of Mavericks, the OSX now for performance purposes will try to use as much RAM as is available. The amount of used is no longer the guiding parameter regarding if adequate RAM is installed or not, but PRESSURE is. If your MBP shows that Pressur is in the GREEN category, then the MBP is operating efficiently. If the color is Yellow or Red, then you must loook for solutions.
Use of the Memory Clean application will serve no useful purpose. You may let OSX do it's job,

Installing new memory in MacBook Pro
I just installed a 2GB of memory in the slot where the 1GB was because it was not being recognized in the second slot.
When I first installed the 2GB in the top slot, which was the available slot, I turned the computer on and it didn't recognize the memory. I opened the back up again, and figured out that the memory was not pushed in all of the way, so I made sure that it was pushed in and when I turned the system on the little light was blinking, then I checked it again, and then the computer sounded that it was coming on but never came on, but the light was solid.
In order to make sure that there was nothing wrong with the memory, so I put it in the slot that the 1GB previously occupied, then put the 1GB in the available slot, which was the slot that was open from the beginning. At that point the system didn't boot up. But upon removing the 1GB from the slot and the 2GB being in the slot that the 1GB originally occupied, the system booted up fine.
The problem appears to be the slot.
Please advise.
thanks
BobbbiI've encountered the same exact problem when trying to install an Axiom Memory Solutions 2GB PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM SODIMM [http://www.axiommemory.com/config/products/branded/MA347G/A-AX.aspx] for my 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro. It is currently up and functioning with the 2GB memory stick in the inmost slot alone but does not allow for both 1GB and 2GB memory sticks to be installed at once in either order of configuration. I have yet to test to see if it will function with the 2GB memory stick in the outermost slot alone, in which case if it were to function in this configuration I would conclude the problem to be caused by the combination of the 1GB and 2GB memory sticks.
Every bit of information I had read prior to making the decision to purchase this 2GB memory stick assured me that my version of the MacBook Pro would function under a 2GB/1GB configuration, but my findings here prove otherwise.
In order to determine what step needs to be taken in order to obtain 3GB of overall RAM, I need the following to be ansered:
Does my version of the MacBook Pro in fact allow for a 2GB/1GB memory stick configuration? If this is the case, which 2GB memory stick must I obtain [in order to assure I'm purchasing the correct memory stick - this time - I require the utmost specificity]. If this is NOT the case, I must therefore purchase another 2GB memory stick to accompany the one I just purchased in order to obtain the maximum 3GB RAM for my version of the MacBook Pro [that only allows for 3GB maximum even if 4GB of RAM are intalled]. I would naturally purchase the exact same 2GB Axiom memory stick I previously purchased, but I need to know if this configuration will in fact allow my MacBook Pro to function.
I apologize for my lack of brevity, but I would prefer to be specific and not have to deal with this problem too much longer.
Thanks,

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Memory on Macbook Pro keeps decreasing like crazy!
Okay, Ever since I installed OS X Mavericks onto my Macbook Pro (Early 2011, 320 gb if that helps anyone?) , I've started to notice a big decrease in my hard drive space, even when I'm not downloading anything? I've even moved a couple of movies to my external hard drive and then had them deleted from my mac and the memory decreased even more!
But the strange thing is, I turned off my macbook and then turned it back on to see if something would happen (before I turned it off, I had near 143 gb of free space). After I turned it on I checked the amount of memory to see if it had changed, and it went to 155 gb of free space. BUT-- I checked again about 15 minutes later after checking some emails and it went down to 151!
Can anyone PLEASE help me with this?!Your title says Memory, but your description refers to your HD storage space. The two are different..
" and it went to 155 gb of free space. BUT-- I checked again about 15 minutes later after checking some emails and it went down to 151!"
SMC reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

As for Memory / RAM
Mavericks is designed to use RAM differently for good reason. Normal
http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/12/compressed-memory-in-os-x-109-maverick s-aims-to-free-ram-extend-battery-life
Mavericks uses RAM much more efficiently than any other previous version of OS X. Mavericks now has a memory compression feature that will compress the memory occupied by applications that aren't being actively used and give the freed up RAM to the application that needs it the most.

Memory Increase - MacBook Pro mid-2012...?
Hello to all who reads this post…
I’m wondering if it's possible to upgrade the memory in my mid-2012 MacBook Pro...?
I believe this should be fairly simple and relatively inexpensive. However, after reading some of the forum posts & reviewing my systems specs on Apple's specs pages , I've become less sure of the possibility to increase the RAM.
My system specs indicate that my memory is upgradable: Memory Slots ECC: Disabled Upgradeable Memory: Yes
One of Apple’s Support pages I came across seems to indicate that my systems RAM can only be upgraded to 8 GB’s max…(but now I’m thinking they mean 8 gigs max per memory slot) and the spec's page on the site seems to indicate that 8GB is the MAX for my MB-pro…?
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1270
Do any of the guru's here know how much, (if any), memory I can add to the 8 gigs of RAM currently installed?
If so, what brand of memory and how much of a memory expansion would be best to boost the speed of my MacBk?
I’m hoping the memory increase will give my system an extra boost & extend the lifespan of my Mac…. ( not to mention that my 3 year old son is getting more and more involved with gaming apps…the type of apps that become resource hogs, hogs that love RAM chips..) In any case, I’d like to increase the 8GB of RAM to 16 GB or 32GB and I would truly appreciate any thoughts, advice, feedback, shout outs, etc…
In any case, here are my system spec details:

Hello to all who read this post…
I’m wondering if it's possible to upgrade the memory in my mid-2012 MacBook Pro...?
I believe that upgrading the memory is fairly simple & relatively inexpensive. However, after reading some of the forum posts
& reviewing my systems specs pages here and there, I've become less sure of the possibility to increase the RAM.
One of the Apple Support pages I came across seem to indicate that 8GB is the MAX for my MB-pro…? (unless I'm reading it wrong)
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1270
Also, I’m sure this is probably way too much info, but I’m a bit of a “newbie” on my MacBk and now that I’ve gotten it “broken-in” over the last 3 years, I want to keep it finely tuned & well maintained. I’m hoping I can increase the memory simply because she is starting to slow down a bit and I want to install a little extra boost while also prolonging the lifespan of my Mac….( not to mention that my 3 year old is getting more and more involved with gaming apps…)
Overall, I’d like to increase the 8GB of RAM to 16 GB or maybe even 32GB….
Do any of the guru's here know if this is possible?
Thank you for the time you took to read my post. I hope to hear from somebody soon....thanks again!

Additional notes
For best performance, fill both memory slots, installing an equal memory module in each slot.A mid 2012 MBP will accept up to 16 GB RAM (even though Apple says 8 GB). The specifications are:204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM. The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
Look at this video for installation instructions:

You will need a #00 Phillips driver to take off the bottom panel.

Hello Everybody,
I been having a small issue with my 2010 macbook pro

Help please, Any help to overcome this problem will be appreciated.Then do this:
If you have your original installer DVD boot from it. Do you still get a panic? If not, then backup the computer, erase the drive, and reinstall Lion:
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
Note, that if you cannot start from the Recovery HD without experiencing a panic, then you have a hardware failure.
Be aware that the panic report you posted is usually always associated with GPU failure for your specific model. It does not have anything specific to do with upgrading Lion or to Lion. -
Memory leakage Macbook pro retina 15inch Early 2013
Hi,
This is my first posting to the Apple community, so please forgive me if have missed a previous posting on this subject.
I have an early 2013 15 inch MBPro retina running 8 gigs. My previous device was a MBpro 15 early 2008 4 gigs of ram. I never expected the 2013 with double the ram to be constantly dropping below 2 gigs with only FireFox and/or MS word running. The older 2008 device used only 2 gigs to run these programs. It appears that the 2013 model is using 6 gigs.
I took the 2013 15 inch MBpro retina to the Apple store for the Geniuses to run their diagnostics. They said my device was running normally. To prove such, they simultaneously opened Jim Carrey's web site 8 times and showed me that all of his the crazy stuff was working in each window. They said that it is normal for a SSD machine to run on low memory.
Unfortunately, it has been my experience that when my memory drops when just using my normal Firefox based surfing, my track pad scrolling starts to get very sluggish until my "memory clean" kicks in at 1.6 gigs and brings the memory up to around 2.5 gigs. As I continue to surf, then the process repeats itself. I never expected my old 2008 device to use significantly less ram running light applications better than my new 2013 device.
I have seen others post an "EtreCheck" and hopefully by posting mine, somebody can find what the Apple Geniuses could not.
Thank you for your help!!

What is the cheapest way to upgrade memory for Macbook Pro
I want to upgrade my memory to 8GB in my MacBook Pro.
Apple are charging $400.
I've seen this for £50. Will it work fine? If not, where can I get the best 8GB memory for a good price?

It was Kingston memory (KVR1333D3SO/4G; the newer batches are the same part number but are marked by "4GR" following the slash in the number). I did not buy a paired kit as it was not in stock; this may have contributed to the performance drop.
The metric in question was Xbench's Memory Test, specifically the System > Allocate number. Before the upgrade, I routinely benchmarked between 2.5 and 2.9 Malloc/sec (or a score of 750-800). After the Kingston memory upgrade, I never saw figures above 1.6 Malloc/sec (or a score of 420-450); roughly half of what I had seen prior to upgrading.
Since installing my OWC memory (which came in a package of two sticks), the performance is generally identical to the OEM (Hynix) across the board.
Hope that helps/clarifies my observations.
That helps a lot. Thanks very much for clarifying that. Yes, Kingston Value RAM is definitely not the way to go, as it has not been tested for compatibility, nor designed for use in Macs. See my other posts in this thread.
Kington's KTA line, OTOH, is tested for compatibility with Mac systems, comes in matched sets, and is very reliable.
AFA Kingston RAM, bottom line for Mac users:
KVR = bad
KTA = good
