My iTunes is taking too much ram on my computer, what can I do reduce the size without having to delete items?

Hi,
Since I have stared uploading movies onto my iTunes I have run out of space on my iBook. What can I do to fix this without having to delete movies? Is it possible to move my iTunes to somewhere else like a time capsule or external storage?

Yes. I moved iTunes to an external hard drive. Admittedly, I'm not tech-savvy, so I went to the Apple store and had them help me with it, but it's quite doable, and much smarter than putting an enormous music library on your computer.

I bought a new 13 macbook pro with 4gb and would like to get aperture 3.4.3. Will it require too much ram for my computer? Thanks

I just bought a macbook pro 13" with 4gb and would like to get aperture on it. Will aperture require too much ram for my computer? Thanks for any support.

I have been using Aperture on such a system, and it was o.k. with Snowleopard and moderately sized images. After I upgraded to Lion and started to user larger image files - 30 MB tiffs, I saw the occasional beachball spinning. You should be prepared to quit other applications that will hog the RAM (like Safari), when working with Aperture on Lion or Mt. Lion with only 4 GB. If you can, follow Frank Caggiano's recommendation and upgrade to 8GB. It will make a large difference.

Hi everyone, I had this problem but none of the solutions above worked. What happened with me, and with others in other forums, is that a particular thread or message was causing the problem. I'd go to open the message and all I'd get was a white screen with the blue bar at the top. So, I went into contacts, pressed 'send message' to a contact whose message wasn't causing the problem, then I pressed back to messages. You then swipe to the left on the thread that's causing the problem, and delete it. Sadly this means you will lose all that person's messages, but you can try opening it from there and deleting it on the thread. Didn't work for me though. Hope that helps! It was the only thing that worked for me after about three days of total frustration and resetting!

Once combine file, it is too large to email. Is there a way to reduce the size of the file?

Combined files and now it is too large to send. Is there a way to reduce the size of the converted file in Adobe?

Hi yodonna,
Adobe Reader doesn't allow you to reduce the size of a PDF file, as Acrobat does. But, you could upload that file to your Acrobat.com account, and create an anonymous link to it using Adobe Send. Then, you could send that link via email. You can access Adobe Send at https://cloud.acrobat.com/send. The Create an Anonymous Link feature doesn't require that you have an Adobe Send subscription.

File Cache taking too much RAM

I have been using Memory Clean to run when our family users log in and out to refresh RAM. Lately, I have noticed that our 8GB of RAM has been going down to between 10MB & 25MB often even with one user logged in and fairly inactive. File Cache is the culprit increasing shortly after login. Someone must have changed a memory allocation setting or something, but I cannot find a solution in Preferences.
Any ideas?

It's normal in Mavericks for all or almost all memory to be used by applications and the operating system. That's what you would want, since unused memory is going to waste. The relevant measure of whether memory is in short supply is "memory pressure." Apple's explanation of memory pressure is here. If you want a more detailed, technical description, see here.

Finder taking too much RAM

My finder seems to be running with 1 G of virtual RAM on a fresh install of Leopard.
I have installed it on a 40 G external firewire drive.
Any ideas?

Apple Mobile devices and Itunes is taking up 100% of my CPU and I can not get to the Itunes music store on 10.5

I have installed the 10.5 version of the Apple Itunes app. Now when I bring it up it takes up one whole CPU and my other CPU is used up by Apple Mobile devices. I am using Windows XP Service Pack 2. I have tried uninstalling all Apple products and reinstalling them but with no luck. Please if anyone has any advice I am all ears...

Thanks, Andrew for your help. Not sure if you will see this, but I did the above and it said the HD was okay. Rebooted it and still won't go past login page. Tried it again and this time typed in the line /sbin/fsck -fy and then it came up and said HD was okay, but said something about being modified. I once more rebooted, but it still won't get past the login screen. Besides taking long to reboot, as before, I am able to enter my password, but then it hangs up with the rainbow icon rotating continuously. Does this mean that the disk is corrupt or partially so, and if so, can you advise how I should proceed? TIA again.

I bought an album on itunes of my ipod touch 4. I don't know why but the album is deleted of my ipod and it isn't on itunes of my computer. With my computer, how can I re-download my album without having to buying it again???

read my question. also, I don't know why but I cant click on "achat" or purchase on itunes store...

It can take a day or even two sometimes before the transaction is processed. Paypal is then the first to inform you by email and later it is Apple. I have a credit card in my Paypal account which means that I don't have to put money into Paypal.
And if the purchase is not billed at all, no problem at all I guess.

Firefox uses too much ram

My FIrefox has been using too much RAM as of late. I have followed all the steps in the firefox support page about checking for possible plugins that may or may not be using too much RAM, but after starting firefox in safe mode, there really wasn't much of a difference. Maybe like 5k kb less, but it's still not enough to account for the 1.7million kb that firefox ends up using with one tab open.
I like to leave my pc on for a bit, and sometimes I'll leave firefox running with a tab open while I'm using other applications, but even if i restart my firefox, the RAM usage does not decrease. After closing all applications and leaving only firefox running, it appears to be around 1.5million kb. Only if i restart my whole pc does the RAM usage drop back to normal levels, and then it ramps back up after a period of time.
I would like to get this resolved soon, or at least figure out the cause of this.

My system has:
2x2GB DDR3 Kingston memory modules
Radeon HD5850 with 1 GB of RAM
AMD Phenom II X4 955 processor 3.20GHz
Windows 7 Professional, SP 1 64-bit OS

Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. See if there
is still a problem.
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
'''Mac: Open the "Applications" folder'''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.

Query is taking too much time

hi
The following query is taking too much time (more than 30 minutes), working with 11g.
The table has three columns rid, ida, geometry and index has been created on all columns.
The table has around 5,40,000 records of point geometries.
Please help me with your suggestions. I want to select duplicate point geometry where ida=CORD.
SQL> select a.rid, b.rid from totalrecords a, totalrecords b where a.ida='CORD' and b.idat='CORD' and
sdo_equal(a.geometry, b.geometry)='TRUE' and a.rid !=b.rid order by 1,2;
regards

I have removed some AND conditions That was not necessary. It's just that Oracle can see for example that
a.ida='CORD' AND
b.idat='CORD' AND
a.rid !=b.rid AND
sdo_equal(a.geometry, b.geometry)='TRUE'
ORDER BY 1,2;if a.ida does not equal 'CORD', the whole set of conditions evaluates to FALSE, so Oracle will not bother evaluating the rest of the conditions because it's all AND'ed together, and TRUE AND FALSE = FALSE.
So if you place your least expensive conditions first (even though the optimizer can and will reorder conditions) this will give you a small performance benefit. Too small to notice, but on 5.4 million records it should be noticable.
and I have set layer_gtype=POINT.Good, that will help. I forgot about that one (Thanks Luc!).
Now i am facing the problem to DELETE duplicate point geometry. The following query is taking too much time. What is too much time? Do you need to delete these duplicate points on a daily or hourly basis? Or is this a one-time cleanup action? If it's a one-time cleanup operation, does it really matter if it takes half an hour?
And if this is a daily or even hourly operation, then why don't you prevent the duplicates from entering the table in the first place? That will save you from having to clean up afterwards. Of course, this might not be possible with your business requirements.
Lastly: can you post an explain plan for your queries? Those might give us an idea of what is taking so much time. Please enclose the results of the explain plan with
[ c o d e ]
<code/results here>
[ / c o d e ]
that way the original formatting is kept and it makes things much easier to read.

Delta Sync taking too much time on refreshing of tables

Hi,
I am working on Smart Service Manager 3.0. I have come across a scenario where the delta sync is taking too much time.
It is required that if we update the stock quantity then the stock should be updated instantaneously.
To do this we have to refresh 4 stock tables at every sync so that the updated quantity is reflected in the device.
This is taking a lot of time (3 to 4 min) which is highly unacceptable from user perspective.
Please could anyone suggest something so that only those table get refreshed upon which the action is carried out.
For eg: CTStock table should get refreshed only If i transfer a stock and get updated accordingly
Not on any other scenario like the changing status from accept to driving or any thing other than stocks.
Thanks,
Star

Hi fiontan,
Thanks a lot for the response!!!
Yeah!! I kow it's a lotta code, but i thought it'd be more informative if the whole function was quoted.
I'm in fact using the PrintWriter to wrap the BufferedWriter but am not using the print() method.
Does it save any time by using the print() method??
The place where the delay is occurring is the wile loop shown below:
            while(allitems.hasMoreElements()){
            String aRow = "";
                XDItem item = (XDItem)allitems.nextElement();
                for(int i =0 ; i < props.length; i++){
                     String value = item.getStringValue(props);
     if(value == null || value.equalsIgnoreCase("null"))
          value = "";
                         if(i == 0)
                              aRow = value;
                         else
                              aRow += ("\t" + value);
startTime1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("time here is--before-writing to buffer --out.flush() done: " +startTime1);
bufferWrt.write(aRow.toCharArray());
out.flush();//added by rosmon to check extra time taken for extraction//
bufferWrt.flush();//added by rosmon to check extra time taken for extraction//
bufferWrt.newLine();
startTime2 = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("time here is--after-writing to buffer : " +startTime2);
What exactly happens is that after a few loops it just seems to sleep for around 20 seconds and then again starts off and ............it goes on till the records are done.
Please do lemme know if you have any idea as to why this is happening !!!!! This bug is giving me the scare.
thanks in advance

Simple thing to try would be to disable composite and see how you fare then
Check the logs first, though
