Page FIle Usage

Could somebody please explain to me what this is and how I reduce it, as it is virtually full at the moment.
Thanks,
Sarah

High Page Reads/Sec on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit running on VMware but very low Real Memory & Page file Usage.

Hello All,
Below is the server configuration,
OS: Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 Bit
Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
CPU: 4 (@ 2.93 GHz, 1 core)
Memory: 12 GB
Page file: 12 GB
1. The actual utilization, be it a 15 minute sample, hourly, weekly etc, the utilization of real memory has never crossed 20% and the page file usage is at 0.1%. For some reason, the Pages/Sec>Limit% counter reports 100% continuously regardless of the
sampling intervals. Upon further observation, the Page Reads/Sec value is somewhere between 150~450 and Page Input/Sec is somewhere between 800~8000. Does this indicate a performance bottleneck? (I've in the interim asked the Users, App. Owners to see if they
notice any performance degradation and awaiting response). If this indicates a performance issue, please could someone help list down how to track this down further to which process/memory mapped file is causing it? and what I should go about performing to
fix this problem please?
p.s., initially the Security logs were full on this server and since page file is tied to Application, Security and System logs, this was freed up to see if this is causing the high page reads but this doesn't.
2. If the above does not necessarily indicate a performance problem, please can someone reference few KB articles that confirms this? Also, in this case, will there be any adverse effects if attempting to fine tune a server which is already running fine?
assuming App. Owners confirm there isn't any performance degradation.
Thanks in advance.

Page File Usage heavy with WebCamCenter

First of all the Camer (Web Cam Live) is installed and working fine with all other related applications but when I start the Creative WebCamCenter my processor and Page file usage goes thru the roof and my PC is then so unresponsive as to be useless.
XP Pro, SP2
52k Meg Ram
Norton Anti Virus 2004 & Netgear WG5 Wireless Network are the only other programs launched on startup.
Any Ideas anyone?
and Yes, I've uninstalled, re-installed (both with original and new Drivers) with no improvement.

Maskarade,
Have you tried installing with your AntiVirus and Firewall programs disabled? Disabling these during the install can help in making sure that you aren't experiencing any interference from these programs.

Need alerting on Page File % usage

Hello-
We are using SCOM 2012R2 for our environment- this is exactly what I need to accomplish
1. Monitor File Page Percentage used
2. Establish a warning and critical state, lets say warning at 90% usage and Critical at 95% on only the page file
3. We have email alerting and is running perfectly- numerous tests
Does SCOM have the ability to do this out of the box??? If so could you walk through it for me
Thank you for your time
GunnySFA

Hi Gunny,
SCOM Can do more than that. Yes it is possible.
You need to create 2 unit monitors for that. 1 for Warning 90% usage and the second for Critical
at 95%.
Create a unit monitor with the below performance counter for Page file usage in %
Monitor target : Windows Server Operating System (Will alert if this appears on all the agents running windows server o/s)
Select the items as below:
Object: Paging File
Counter: % Usage
Instance: Check the box below as all instances are needed.
Click next and mention the threshold 90%
And select the alerting type as per the screen shots.
Last Check enable the alert and the severity (Warning or critical)
Create the same way for another Critical for 95 %
Apologize for a mixed screenshot. Microsoft allows only 2 photos per answer.
If screen shot is not visible open it in a new window to enlarge.
Let me know if any doubts.

Page File Article

Here is an excellent article IMO. It even addresses the Out of Memory problem.
http://tinyurl.com/4zoqn
Mel

I just read the article... I am still confused as to what my system is doing...
I have 2gig of physical memory. I have my page file set as described. When in LR only about 200-300 mb of physical memory gets used, but hundreds of mb of page file gets used. And monitoring the task manager while using LR I see that the physical memory usage stays about the same but the page file goes up in usage by several hundred MB. I still have (right now) 1.45 GB of physical memory available- But Windows keeps using the page file when ever LR asks for more memory!
UGH... I am not sure what to do. If I am not running out of physical memory than virtual memory usage should stay low but it is not.
Any ideas?
EDIT- I just looked a little closer, when memory needs go up it will use a little bit more physical (a few MB) but no where near enough.

Improve Flash perormance by increasing Cache, page file with SSD or USB3?

The way I use flash demands a lot of memory.
I have a huge number of vector shape on stage and keep making changes to them and it gets flash to stutter and delay a lot. (I did try using illustrator and CorelDraw for that purpose but they simply don`t answer my needs in that regard aas flash does)
Of course my 64 bit 18 GB ram is to no avail in this case.
I noticed that increasing Cache and page file does help.
I`m on windows 7 and currently have cache initially at 5 GB and max: 30 Gb and distributed between various drives.
I would like to allocate more harddisk space for cahce. My questions are :
1.Is there a limit in size beyond which Cahce will simply not be used by flash?
2.What would be more efficient, a 200GB SSD or a 2 TB USB 3?
Thanks

3.2 GB Ram , it being a 32bit application
That's a ton of RAM. RAM management is also a part of application coding. Your library may contain a ton of items but the only items in RAM are the items necessary for your current context. Cache will ensue only if there's free memory. Your file size is so small I'm only left to believe you have an excessively complex timeline with a huge number of instances alive at once, or your CPU and RAM are old. Otherwise, you should get great performance. What are your specs?
Most of what I'm getting at with vectors versus bitmaps is vectors require processing, bitmaps don't. Bitmaps are a block of memory and operate at RAM speed. The bogging you might experience is most likely the CPU and RAM strain from processing simply too many (possibly complex) vectors all at once, but a quick look at your performance monitor would tell you that.
When vectors shape are involved, RAM usage has nothing to do with file size
If you have a 1.2MB vector, it's going to take quite a bit of CPU and RAM strain to process it. If it's a 30kb vector, far, far less processing. Although 500 instances of that 30kb vector will. So file size and instance count do directly correlate to the processing performance.
I`m running SSD as C
Great, I do as well. There's no speed increase to page to a different drive when your FLA is 3~4MB. You have the rest of the drives space to page to. Unless you simply don't have enough space left after OS+apps to feel comfortable with a 5GB page. Perhaps you should let the OS manage the pagefile. Setting a final size used to be a performance trick but the OS will give you a good idea how much you're actually paging. That would answer your question on if you even need a whole drive dedicated to it.
I'd get a second SSD just to have for a multitude of other reasons. And definitely a RAID1 mirror on the OS drive . Be careful with SSD RAIDs, they're still not in what the IT industry would consider trustable territory. I have 2 SSDs in RAID0 on my home gaming rig but that's because all my important files are on other drives, and I have a mirror image of the OS if something fails.

HT3705 Has anyone any ideas why a Pages file v09 exported from v5 bloats from around 212kb to 5.9mb? I had to export existing template files back from the latest version to v09 due to limited features in latest version.

Recently updated Pages because of Mavericks update, quickly discovered how limited new version is, exported altered files back to Pages 09 format and re-opened using earlier Pages. In amending to re-save as templates again noticed a 212kb file has bloated to 5.9mb.
Has anyone any ideas or experience as it will not take long to fill up a 1TB drive at this rate! - I had left behind PC's and MS Office and was reasobaly happy using Pages for business, but it looks like Office for Mac is now going to b eneeded.

Yes, I opened them all with 5 then re-saved as v5 templates. Then realised other problems with v5 so exported them all back v09 as xxx.pages files. Used some with v09 and noticed they had all increased.
I just checked again and noticed that the initial v5 saved templates had typically increased from 412kb to 1.1MB (they do have 4 graphics) - then after exporting the templates are 5.9MB in v09 an dthe files are still 412kb.
I had a similar problem many years ago using RTF files with Word and they kept bloating everytime you edited and saved due to saved or linked graphics?

Pages 08 won't open my old pages file

I just upgraded to Pages 08 and when I try to open the file I was working on yesterday, with the previous version of pages, it says "The document...couldn't be opened". How can I open the old pages file with the new version?

It may be useful to trash the preferences file:
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
But I'm afraid that the document is corrupted.
Control click its icon then select the "Show package's contents" in the contextual menu.
The standard contents is:
Contents
QuickLook
index.xml.gz
The described message is displayed when there is no "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") file.
It is also displayed when the "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") is badly formed.
The index may be dropped when the documents where stored on an iDisk.

I saved my document as only .doc but not as a pages file and now I cannot edit anything and half the document looks incredibly screwed up, how did this happen?

I forgot to save the pages file, I do back up on time machine could a temporary file be in there somewhere? It was a 30+ page custom designed presentatiion that took me two weeks. i cannot believe I only saved it as PDF and .doc! My current theory is that I can only edit the document in pages as a pages file since that is what I had been doing. Please help if anyone has had this problem before or know how I can recover that screen I was working with a few days ago before I saved as a Word doc!!

Despite what Apple and its employees say Pages is not a 100% replacement for Word.
Pages files exported to .doc will have minor to major differences.
You should always have a Pages version. Exporting is only so non Mac and non Pages users may read it, and even there you should use .pdf to keep its appearance as close as possible to the original.
It sounds like you used a lot of Pages' features which turned out to not have Word equivalents.

HT4910 hello i have installed icloud on my mac, ipad and iphone. but when i create a document on my mac it does not show up on Pages file in my Ipad/ How do i get it to go from one to the other? and how do i back up to icloud from my Mac

Hello
I have uploaded and installed ICLOUD to all three of my devices MAC, i pad nd Iphone.
From Ipad to Iphone i am able to retrieve PAGES documents as i write them. BUT now that i am back home i see that none of the new documents i am working on which are stored on my desktop are showing up in my PAGES file on my Ipad or Phone.
How do i save to icloud from mac, how come i can't retrieve docs from IPAD to MAC either?
should i back up my mac ICLOUD FIRST? and if so, Where do i back it up from?
going mad as i edit on one during the day and the other in the evening , and would like them to sync automatically
please can you help
thanks
marellaopp

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

I can't get pages 5.01 to open pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.

I can't get Pages 5.01 to open Pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.
I am using the most up to date version of Mavericks and Pages and can log into iCloud without any problems. Is this just a glitch? The files all behaved properly under previous versions and the initial release of the new version of Pages.

Pages for iCloud beta is a weird beast and as it says "beta".
I think it is the least compatible of all the many different .pages files floating around out there.

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
Håkan

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

Cannot open Pages File, Please HELP

Hi,
I've just had disaster happened to me. I've moved about 1GB of data from computer for Flash drive. When attempted to eject thumb drive, it kept saying, drive is in use. Stupid me just removed that drive. Using Data Rescue I've managed to recover the files, but.... All of them are corrupt
Most important file to me is Pages document I was working on for the whole day. I can see files inside 'package' of that .pages file, but none of them could be opened.
Is there a way of repairing that file? Or at least, is there a way of extracting text from it, that's what I care about the most...
Any help, suggestions is appreciated....
Thank you all!

Hello
How is your flash drive formatted?
I assumes that it is not in a format correctly treating packages.
When we have to copy a document made with an iWork application, it is safe to pack it as a zipped archive.
Doing so get rid of a lot of problems.
In a Pages document, we may see:
a -- a subfolder named Contents and an other one named QuickLook. Don't touch them.
b -- several picture files corresponding to images inserted in the document.
When the doc is in good health, double clicking these files open them in their creation application.
c -- index.xml.gz which is a packed version of the XML file describing our document.
If we double click it, it expands as index.xml which may be read in any XML aware application.
I met some Pages documents whose all items open perfectly but whose the XML file appears as corrupted for Pages.
It seems that something was wrongly described when the file was created so that Pages is unable to re-read it.
May you pack one of your odd files as a zip archive, attach it to a mail and send it to
koenig PERIOD yvan AT tele2 PERIOD fr
I would look at its components and if it appears to be the kind of described corruption, I wish to be allowed to send it to Apple.
I assumes that with some samples of corrupted files they would be able to identify what is the wrongdoer.

Pages 5.0 won't open Pages files

OK, this is weird. Since upgrading to Mavericks with the free Pages 5.0 upgrade last week, all of my Pages files have been opening in Pages 5.0 just fine -- until today. An update dialog opened today November 4 2013 around 3pm saying there was a Pages update. We proceeded with the update and now any document that was opened and saved since the Mavericks update won't open as before. Instead an error dialog box appears stating "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document.". So I click "OK" and then open the document using "Open With" and select Pages 5.0, which is now set as "default" and the file opens fine. I save the file in Pages 5.0. But the next time I go open it, it gives me the exact same stupid dialog box.
If I open a Pages file that has not been opened since the Mavericks update, it opens in Pages 09. If I select "Open With" and select the new "default" Pages 5.0 and save it in that version, the next time I open the file I get that same stupid dialog again: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document."
What the he**? Am I going to have to use "Open With" for every single Pages 09 file that I want to open in Pages 5.0?

I'm having a similar problem.
Running Pages 5.1 on my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
I can't open any Pages document on iCloud from my iMac, regardless of where that document was originally created (iMac, MBP, or iPad). I have tried File -> Open File... from within Pages, as well as by double-clicking the file within the iCloud folder in Finder. However, I can copy the file to my desktop via Finder, and then open it from my desktop. I can create a file in Pages on my iMac and save it to iCloud, but then I can't open it later.
However, I can open any Pages document on iCloud from my MacBook Pro without any problem - including the ones that won't open on the iMac.

Can't open pages files on ipad in icloud.

I always synchronize my Pages files between my Mac Mini, Mac Book Pro and Ipad(1st generation) in icloud. Since last week it is not possible to open some files on my ipad in icloud. All files that have been opened on my Mac Mini can not be opened on the ipad. What can I do?

So...I have played with it more. Simple documents work most of the time. But if I take a more complex doc to Pages, edit it and save it as a Word doc then trasnfer it back to PC or Mac it will fail to open.
Would be nice if I could trust the App. WIll mess more with it but it is very frustrating.
