No application memory left.  Getting worse and worse.  My Mac Pro is basically unusable.  I am about to go back to a PC.

I am ready to go back to a PC.  I cannot use my computer.  I have lost photos.  Can't even download from carbonite to replace lost itemsk  because of lack of application memory.  It is driving me crazy.  This computer cost too much for this kind of thing to be happening.  Mine has been happening for over a year.  I can't get answers.

    Yeah the issue seem to be with IIS,
    Try launching the application through the url
    http://hfmwebserver/hfm/logon/processlogon.asp?workspace=false&username=admin&password=password  replacing hfmwebserver with web server you have in your env and username and password respectively to see if there is some improper registration of Web Server with HFM.
    Also check IIS worker process settings.

  • Should i get a antivirus for my mac pro

    should i get a antivirus for my mac pro?

    1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets (see below.)
    It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been another layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't actually been tested by Apple (unless it comes from the Mac App Store), but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. For most practical purposes, applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed can be considered safe.
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could find some other way to evade Apple's controls.
    For more information about Gatekeeper, see this Apple Support article.
    4. Beyond XProtect and Gatekeeper, there’s no benefit, in most cases, from any other automated protection against malware. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. All known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
    That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source. How do you know whether a source is trustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
    Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
    5. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was never a good idea, and Java's developers have had a lot of trouble implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style "virus" affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful. Fortunately, Java on the Web is mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers. In Safari, this is done by unchecking the box marked Enable Java in the Security tab of the preferences dialog.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a specific task, enable Java only when needed for the task and disable it immediately when done. Close all other browser windows and tabs, and don't visit any other sites while Java is active. Never enable Java on a public web page that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, password-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
    Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be practically as safe from malware as you can be.
    6. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
    Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
    In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    7. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
    A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
    ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
    ClamXav may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use ClamXav unless a network administrator requires you to run an anti-virus application.
    8. The greatest harm done by anti-virus software, in my opinion, is in its effect on human behavior. It does little or nothing to protect people from emerging threats, but they get a false sense of security from it, and then they may behave in ways that expose them to higher risk. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.

  • Premiere Pro CC and the New Mac Pro (2014)

    I'm expecting delivery soon of a new Mac Pro, nicely loaded, which I purchased mainly because of all the work I do with video. Yet, I read in a review that Adobe Premiere Pro isn't optimized to take advantage of the new Mac Pro, won't run faster, and I'm better off using Apple's Final Cut.
    1. Is this true?; and
    2. If so, will Premiere Pro be updated any time soon to run best on a 2014 Mac Pro?
    My new Mac Pro will have the following configuration:
    3.5GHz 6-core with 12MB of L3 cache
    32GB (4x8GB) of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC
    1TB PCIe-based flash storage
    Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs with 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM each

    My main problem is that when i export using gpu open gl it crashes hard boot the mac pro. A 3 min timeline with 4k footage n a bunch of color grading.  I get lucky if the timeline is shorter. But i think it is a gpu issue n my mac must be fixed. Currently under apple tech support. N my case is unique. No one has had the same issue and that makes it harder for me to figure the isse and to apple figure the issue.
    If i export using software only mercury then the export goes smoothe no mattrr how long. But that defeata the point of owning a mac pro with 2 GPUs

    I have had my 12 core 2014 Mac Pro for a couple of weeks now, and I'm not very impressed with Premiere CC performance with 4K R3D on a 1920 x 1080 timeline.
    I understand that there may be an update soon that will take adantage of the CPU's and GPU's when it comes to the complex task of de-bayering the R3D footage, but it's just not there now.
    I get similar playback performance to what I experienced on my 09 Mac Pro tower.
    Any insights on getting better playback performance in this scenario would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Time Machine should be enough to make a backup of your files. Also, it should back up all folders, so open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and make sure that there are no folders included in the excluded items list.
    If you want to create a bootable clone of your hard drive, you need to use an app like Carbon Copy Cloner or the Disk Utility's Restore feature > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html

  • Memory management getting worse

    So I've been using the same machine, working in the same file sized roughly 3k by 5k, making concept art for 2 years now, not much has changed in terms of how I worked over the years. Photoshop always hogs any extra memory I have on my machine, it like a memory leak. When I start working and load a file it's fine, as I work on the same file after a few hours Photoshop just takes over more and more of the system memory until it's all used up. It used to not cause problems, but now, especially the last few months I've been having to close the program, then end the photoshop.exe file in the task manager daily to clear the memory. Now it's getting to the point where I have to do it 2 or 3 times a day to keep my system from halting. It doesn't seem to matter how I set the memory usage of the program it just eventually takes up the rest of the free memory (16gb of it) over time. It feels like a memory leak. It's getting frustrating, and slowing me down at work. I see on the forum that it's a common issue. From my experience over the years Photoshop always hogs up the memory over time, would be nice to get this fixed.

    We check Photoshop pretty closely for leaks, and fix them.
    Photoshop should only allocate memory up to the limit you set in Preferences.
    But bugs in drivers, the OS, or third party plugins can leak memory.
    No, leaks in Photoshop are not a common issue. Misunderstandings of memory management, or the aforementioned third party issues are common.

  • No memory left, help me factory reset my mac air

    So checked my memory today and it says i have ~500MB free. unfortunately 100Gigs of it is being used by other and i don't understand what it is. Im ASSUMING my games (World of warcraft and League of Legends) is a fair chunk of that because none of the other categories exceed 30gigs which is (roughly) the size of WoW.
    I purchased a 1TB external not too long ago and was originally just going to keep big files on it when I'm not using them. However seeing as i only have 500MB left I would like to just put everything on my external, factory restore my mac, then just go through what i NEED/WANT on my mac and just bring it over. I would just like a little bit of help through this process as I'm not 100% sure of anything i might be overlooking. this should work right?
    Also I've never used time machine but when i plugged in my external it asked if i wanted to use time machine for it and i clicked yes because I'm assuming this is basically what I'm trying to do, back up everything on my external, but then again i have no knowledge of time machine so I'm not entirely sure if this is what i want. Is it going to just put everything on my external, then when i restore it will it just bring back everything from the external and put it on my macs internal drive? because... thats the complete opposite of what I'm trying to do.
    Anyways, I could really use some help. Big thanks in advance

  • How do I get internet on both my Mac Pro and my macbook pro at the same time?

    Both are running 10.6.8 operating systems.
    There is one ethernet jack in my office. The mac pro does not have a wireless card.
    I want to use internet on my macbook pro from the mac pro. I'm thinking internet sharing through ethernet cord (ethernet cord from wall to mac pro, then second ethernet cord from mac pro to macbook pro), or via firewire. Both methods tell me on my macbook pro that I am connected to the internet but when I try to use the internet it fails.
    Is this an ip address problem? how do I change that?
    suggestions? maybe there is a better way to do this?
    Thanks!!

    Get a router.
    A Apple Airport Extreme router is easy to setup and has extra ports on the back for Ethernet to the MacPro.
    This way you'll have Wifi and can take the MacBook Pro anyplace in range and use it, instead of burning up that Firewire port and being on a leash.
    You could be having IPv6 issues with the MacBookPro if it's on a later version of OS X.
    Look under your network > Advanced TCIP and turn off IPv6, reboot.

  • WIFI "gets confused" and times out (Mac Mini late 2014)

    My WIFI on my late 2014 Mac Mini is having connection problems.  It does drop network every once in a while and I have to reboot, which is irritating.  However, the seriously problematic  behavior is that it seems to get into a confused state where it cannot connect to WIFI of any type even if I bring the access point into the same room or use the wifi served from my mobile phone (which works without incident with several Mac laptops, or my Mac Pro).   (Note: I did not have an easy way to test open WIFI so it was several types with WPA2 encryption)
    I tried many reboots, even shutdowns and disconnection from power for several hours with no improvement.  I later decided to bring an airport extreme configured as a network adapter to connect to my basestation and connect the express via Ethernet to my system at which point it finally had network.  At this point the mini it decided it could connect to WIFI again.
    I would be pleased to know if anyone else had a similar problem and if there is a less extravagant workaround.
    I'm running Yosemite 10.10.1
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply!  My router is another airport express with N capabilities and when it works it gets very good speeds. 
    To directly answer your question, I reset my router several times by power cycling it while I was having this trouble.  It did not help the problem, and several other devices were able to connect to it without any problem while the mac mini was unwilling to connect.  Unfortunately, the airport utility couldn't reset the router when it was unable to connect wirelessly.  Like I said, it got out of its confused state when I connected it via ethernet to an external wireless device, so then reseting the router became unnecessary.
    I am prepared to get a new airport if this will help my problem but what I've been reading about the airports is that they also have some connectivity problem which is not encouraging.
    Is this a hardware issue, software issue, or possibly something a future Yosemite update might fix, will an airport help?
    Thanks!

  • Poor performance with Yosemite and early 2009 Mac Pro

    I have an early 2009 Mac Pro with the following specs:
    - 2.66 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
    - 10 GB of 1066 MHz RAM
    - NVidia GeForce GT 120 512 MB
    - 256 MB solid state drive for my system partition
    - Two monitors connected, each at 1680x1050 resolution
    Back when I was running OS X 10.7 or 10.8 I found that for every day tasks the performance using my computer was adequate. However, starting around 10.9, and even worse since upgrading to 10.10, thinks have gotten painfully slow. To give an example, activating Mission Control can take upwards of four seconds, with the animation being very choppy. Changing tabs on a Finder window can take two seconds for the switch to happen. Just switching between different windows, it can take several seconds for a window to activate. It's gotten to the point where I'm having difficulty working. So I'm thinking of upgrading some of my hardware.
    Given my specs the weakest link seems to be my graphics card, and all of these issues do seem to be related to graphics. So my questions are:
    - Do you think upgrading my graphics card will substantially improve things, and is there anything else I should upgrade?
    - Is this slowness just the result of the computer being nearly six years old, and no upgrades will really improve things that much?
    Thanks in advance!

    Between Setup Assistant, and your existing system "untouched" (or use CCC if say you want to use an existing SSD for the system) there is no reason it should be a lot of work setting up. Have you ever used Migration or Setup? it has also gotten better.
    Also, having 10.9.5 on another drive and running DU - and TRIM _now_ would be helpful.
    Looking at just what gremlins you have running around inside your current system is not bad but.... sometimes the "long road" turns a shortcut into a dead end, and avoiding doing what seems the long road and hardest gets you where you want to go: a solid stable system.
    Less is more. Most systems have more than needed and they get in the way and can cause trouble. Even handy "widgets" and those things that monitor system functions, even disk status. Which is why I like seeing a separate small system maintenance volume just for the weekly checkup. 30GB is more than enough so just slice out a partition somewhere - on another drive/device.
    Those things, more so than and a lot cheaper than a new GPU. If  your SSD is two years old, the 840 EVO from Samsung is down under $120 for 250GB, or use one for Lightroom / Aperture / iPhoto or scratch.
    One person was complaining about sluggish window issue and thought it was the driver. Turned out It happened in ONE APP, not everywhere - very telling - and the app in question needs update. Adobe updated CC (for Windows) last month to finally support dual Dxx and some of the newer AMD GPUs - can the mac be far behind?
    10GB RAM? that would not be 3 x 4GB or any combination using triple channel memory.

  • SmcFanControl 2.2.2 and 12-core Mac Pro (picking the right fan to cool HDs)

    Hello,
    quite recently I've moved from my previous Mac Pro 8-core (the earliest model) to the latest Mac Pro 12-core.
    I've successfully used smcFanControl with my old Mac, and the fan names listed in the app's preferences were matching the fans listed by iStat and by smcFanControl in its dropdown menu. In the new Mac Pro there are more fans, not all of them match the names listed by iStat, and some names are "false friends". Please note though that all the fans listed by iStat show up also in the dropdown menu of smcFanControl
    Here's the fans list in the preferences of smcFanControl, in this order:
    CPU_MEM
    IO
    EXHAUST
    PS
    Here's the fans list in the dropdown menu of smcFanControl and in iStat (I'm using the capitalization and order used by iStat, smcFanControl uses always all caps and names "Power Supply" as PS, plus adopting another ordering):
    PCI
    BOOSTA
    BOOSTB
    Exhaust
    Power Supply
    INTAKE
    Now, the mapping looks also weird. Here's the mapping tested by increasing the speed of each fan I can control via preferences:
    CPU_MEM == PCI
    IO == Power Supply
    EXHAUST == EXHAUST == INTAKE
    PS == INTAKE
    BOOSTA and BOOSTB run always at identical speed, and their speed is usually slightly less than 2X the speed of either Exhaust or Power Supply, whichever runs faster. Anyway they don't appear to be controllable via smcFanControl.
    Interestingly, the mapping seems to be related to the order of the fans in the dropdown menu of smcFanPro. The first four fans listed there are:
    PCI
    PS
    EXHAUST
    INTAKE
    My main problem currently is that I haven't yet found a way to keep the HDs at about 40°C or slightly less as I used to do with my old Mac Pro, unless I increase a lot the fans speed, which on the other hand brings down the CPU and RAM temperatures at quite ridiculous levels (basically only a few degrees more than ambient temperature, about 30° these days). What's worse, I haven't found exactly which fan affects more directly the HD temperatures. Increasing only the speed of a single fan never seemed to be enough, unlike with the old Mac Pro.
    So, here are my questions to anyone using smcFanControl 2.2.2 on a Mac Pro 12-core:
    1) Do you believe I should reinstall smcFanControl to get the correct list of fans? Or is this a known issue? (please note that I started using the new Mac by using Apple's migration utility, so also smcFanControl was "copied" from the old Mac like all other apps) If I have to reinstall smcFanControl,do you know if I should clean/delete specific directories or files to remove the old fans list?
    2) Do you know which fan cools down most the HDs? I have four HDs so all bays are used. I've looked around quite a lot but I haven't found any diagram showing the fans position inside the Mac's case
    Thanks a lot in advance for your reply and best regards,
    Giovanni

    Put a fan in lower optical bay blowing on the drives? just kidding though.
    Some drives now like WD Black 1TB+ do run normally at 40-41*C and that is in part because they are now engineering parts to be safe at those temps to reduce on cost of cooling and going green which can have a huge impact on data and server farms by just 5*C warmer.
    My WD 10K VRs run COLD as can be and always have.
    My advice is set the rpm for all fans @ one speed and then have 2 or 4 profiles: default, medium, high and extreme. Default is 499 for one and 599 for others. 900 rpm is just about when fans can be heard. 1200 rpm for more active cooling and 1800-2000 rpm for high.
    The idea is in part to prevent it from getting warm first and then the system kick up the fans. Harder to get heat out of the case once it is there.
    I think you are trying to "over-control" just a bit.
    Prefe ences are in ~/Library/Preferences or just delete all the profiles. It probably has an uninstall.
    I trust Temperature Monitor (freeware)  or paid version (Hardware Monitor) a bit more than iStatPro.

Maybe you are looking for
