Powerbook G4 freezes on me - memory problems..?

Hi all,
I have just bought a new Powerbook G4 15inch as i read all sorts of varying articles on Macbook Pro's teething problems with Adobe etc so decided to go for the tried and trusted good old Powerbook.
So i got the retailer to boost it from 512mg to 2gb in the shop and after giving it a good workout (installing Illustrator, photoshop, microsoft etc) and playing with Itunes i find that it freezes on me every 15mins or so..! I'm told it could be a memory problem (maybe the 2 new 1gbs are not compatible). Or should i reinstall Tiger..?
Any advice is welcome.. help..!

Hello, Shane,
No, I've not had trouble with freezes on my powerbook. I did have a little trouble clicking in the RAM on the top slot properly, both on my PB and on a friend's, but in these cases, the PB beeped three times on startup (RAM "distress signal").
It has been my understanding that system freezes are often caused by faulty hardware--RAM, a peripheral device that is misbehaving, or a more serious problem such as logic board.
Running the hardware test in extended mode would help with this.
Some people have reported that they have solved system freezes when all the hardware checks out by doing an archive/installation of their operating system, or erasing the drive and re-installing from scratch.
Good luck.

I also would be remiss in not pointing out that since your Powerbook is new, Apple is available to help you troubleshoot, and in case there is a serious hardware issue, making an early report is advisable.

Computer freeze / Memory problem?

Hi,
I assembled my new PC approx. 1 month ago (full spec attached at the bottom of the message).
Since then I'm having a lot of freezes (freeze, not BSOD). I tried using several OS versions with no luck, so I though it's a memory problem.
Testing the memory, each dimm by itself, with memtest86+ succeeded. I even tried to check each of the memory banks and the test still succeeded.
When testing with more than one dimm (both with single-channel and dual-channel configuration) I'm getting freezes during the check.
What could be the problem?
Thanks!
The full spec:
Case: Thermaltake Armor+ ESA VH6001BWS
PSU: Thermaltake ESA 850W
CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake BigWater 780e ESA
Motherboard: MSI P7N2 Diamond (Bios version is 1.1, this also occurs at 1.0)
Memory: 4 x OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum 2GB (OCZ3P16004GK), 8GB Total
Sound card: MSI X-Fi Xtreme Audio (the one that is bundled with the P7N2)
GPU: MSI GeForce 280 GTX OC
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 - x64 edition
The system is not overclocked at all, All the bios settings are set to default.

OK, That's what I did:
Changed back the clock speed to auto (it was auto set back to 1333MHz), Changed the voltage of the memory and the NB back to "Auto".
Then I changed the memory to work as 9-9-9-24 and tested it with 2 dimms in a dual-channel configuration.
So far, It's looks like it's working and working well (2 passes completed successfully).
Quote from: John_Doe on 18-January-09, 02:38:37
Assuming that the tests will go smooth, I would like to ask if this is a recommended configuration to stay with (1333MHz, voltages at "Auto", memory set to 9-9-9-24)?
Running those dimms not at overclocked & overvoltaged (and even in "lower speed" then it should) should prevent them from having short lifetime, Am I right?
Yes, because their DDR3 chips have been designed to work at 1333MHz with 9-9-9-24.
"Have been tested to work at 1600" is another fish in another (OCZ) ocean.
good luck

PowerBook G4 freezing randomly

My PowerBook G4 (1.67) has worked flawlessly for 2 years, but just a few days ago it began freezing randomly. It freezes completely, without warning or slowdown. I have to shut it off manually each time. Sometimes it freezes after running only a few minutes, other times it freezes after several hours of normal workload.
It doesn't seem to be related to anything I'm doing at the time, as each time it has been different circumstances. The last time it was idle with only iTunes running.
I am running OS 10.4.9, but the problem began before I installed the OS X update, so I know that is not the cause.
Is there anything I can do to further troubleshoot the problem before sending it in? Any clues as to what might be causing this?

Welcome to Apple Discussions, BPMayer.
Apart from what has already been suggested by joeuu, it is possible that your problem may be either hard drive or logic board related. Certainly something to test for and, hopefully, rule out.
Therefore the first thing I would recommend is that you make sure any important data is fully backed up immediately. If you don't have an external backup drive (preferably a FireWire drive), then this is a very good time to get one.
Next try restarting from the original installer disc and then using Disk Utility to check the state of the hard drive. At the same time see what the SMART status (located at the bottom of the DU window) says. If it says anything other than "Verified" then the hard drive is the source of the problems.
Another thing to try is the Apple Hardware Test. This may reveal any problems with the internal hardware.
Unfortunately hard drive failures can, and do, happen fairly often with any computer that uses one as a storage device. Therefore it is a problem that can afflict any brand of computer, not just restricted to Apple, and (unfortunately) seems to be much more prevalent nowadays.
Fortunately, providing you have your important data backed up, it is not too traumatic and replacing them is not overly expensive (when compared to other major component failures).
Logic board failures can occur but, thankfully, appears to be rarer than drive failures. Whilst they can be expensive to replace, your data should not be at risk (unlike with a drive failure).

Memory Problems with Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit

In preparation to rebuild my Windows Search Index, I installed the Adobe PDF iFilter for 64-bit on my system (Vista Business 64). When I finally rebuilt the index, I wasn't too surprised by what I saw happen, namely, the SearchFilter.exe process would kick in whenever I wasn't using the system and just eat RAM. One time I turned it on and it had allocated over 4,000 MB (and my system only has 4,030 MB available) so of course it was forcing all the other processes to hard fault (ie. everything was moving like molasses--for example, it took 20 minutes to put the thing to sleep). But I just let it do it's work, figuring that perhaps this was to be expected relative to the small library of PDF's that I've accumulated on my computer, ranging from LaTeX generated text files, to containers for hi-res scans. So, after a day and a half of basically not using my laptop, everything finally calmed down and I enjoyed the benefits of searching the content of my library from the Windows Start menu--for a short while.
However, to my dismay I've encountered the problem that this freezing of my computer would now occur after everytime I download a new PDF (in this particular case they were Google Books scans) and then left the computer to idle. Again, the SearchFilter.exe would allocate all of my RAM for itself and just push everything else onto the Virtual RAM, which means the SLOWEST possibly fetching you can get. I had to uninstall as this was making my computer unusable for 15-30 minutes after each idle. Everything is back in working order without the iFilter, but I would like to know if anyone has reported such problems on x64 systems. Obviously, I will also report the problem to Microsoft, since the search engine should certainly have the precaution to handle such memory problems.   However, it is a problem that is created by the Adobe PDF iFilter interacting with the Windows Search engine.

Hello,
We believe we have figured this out. It looks like it has to do with the length of the default folder location for the Adobe iFilter.
I was able to reproduce the issue and the following resolved it for me. See if this resolves it for you all as well.
Here is how to get Adobe Version 11 PDF filter to work.
1 . If you haven’t already, run the following in SQL Server:
Sp_fulltext_service ‘Load_os_resources’, 1
Go
--you might also need to run:
sp_fulltext_service ‘Verify_signature’,0 --This is used to validate trusted iFilters. 0 disables it. So use with caution.
--go
2. Stop SQL Server. (Make sure FDHost.exe stops)
3.
Uninstall the Adobe ifilter (because it defaulted to having spaces or the folder name is too long).
4.
Reinstall the Adobe iFilter and when it prompts for where to install it, change it to: C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter
5.  Once the installation finishes, go the computer’s Environment variables. Add the following to the PATH.
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PDFiFilter\BIN
NOTE: it must include the BIN folder
NOTE: If you had the OLD location that included spaces, remove it from the path environment variable.
6. Start SQL Server
7.  IF you had an existing Full-text index on PDFs, drop the full-text index and recreate it.
8. You should now get results when you run sys.dm_fts_index_keywords('db','tblname') --Note: Change db to be the actual database name and tblname to be the actual table name.
Give this a try and see if this fixes yours.
Sincerely,
Rob Beene, MSFT

Edit in HD, memory problem?

Hi there,
Just starting for editing HD footage but wondering should I get more memory for computer because testing to editing a 15 min. footage when export only first 2-5 min. movie I got, the rest is a still image (only last freeze frame when reach 5 min.). After that, I've tried to cut the footage in 2 min. than export fine. Is that the memory problem? Please advice.
Thanks.

Powerbook G4 freezes

Replaced old airport extreme base station with new one. Now, PowerBook G4 frequently freezes and must be restarted. How do I prevent this?

The following is the information from the log for my latest crash. I have been turning the airport off on my PowerBook before I shutdown and haven't had as many problems with it freezing as before. In addition, once I get booted up and am using the PowerBook, it freezes very little. In fact the freezing and kernel packs have been limited to turning the airport utility off on the Powerbook and starting up/shutting down the PowerBook. I appreciate any help. Thanks.

N96 Memory problem (internal 16GB)

N96 Memory problem (internal 16GB)
If I fill the internal memory with more than approx 5gb the phone goes crazy...
(9,3Gb free)
Here are a couple of examples
* The phone becomes alot slower
* When powering up the phone stops at a white blank screen until * I press the power button again.
* When starting the music player all buttons associated with the music player(both on phone and handsfree) becomes unresponsive and the only way to stop the music is to remove the battery to turn off the phone.
Another problem that occasionally occurs even if I have more free space on my memory card is:
* When using the alarm clock there is a 33% chance that the phone will freeze when I turn it off. The only way to use the phone again is to remove the battery.
I haven't updated the phone yet because the update isn't available yet in sweden it seems.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This may be the issue, New content!:
Scanning for new content (slowness in UI)
- This is somewhat improved in 11.018 but still:
- If you've loaded many Pictures, Videos or Music, you may see the device appear to slow down or even become unresponsive. After new content has been added, it is being scanned by the device and being added to the media applications. Until that happens, the new content may not be visible in these applications (e.g. Photos and Video Center application) right away. The phone will need to find the files and create the thumbnails and other details. This information creation takes time and the processing may slow down the device. Your best option is to open Video Center and Photos and leave open in the background then check after a few minutes if the videos and pictures you loaded are already there before using your device.
The same applies if you insert a memory card with lots of content on it.
- Do Not leave the Photos or video center in background during this time.

In this code i m facing memory problem.
It is not refreshing the memory every time.
So plz give me proper solution.
Its urgent.
Thanks

Hi,
   I suppose you are trying to store some particular value in memory in one program and then retieve it in another.
If so try using EXPORT data TO MEMORY ID 'ZC1'. and IMPORT data FROM MEMORY ID 'ZC1'.
To use SET PARAMETER/GET PARAMETER the specified parameter name should be in table TPARA. Which I don't think is there in your case.
Sample Code :
Data declarations for the function codes to be transferred
DATA : v_first TYPE syucomm,
       v_second TYPE syucomm.
CONSTANTS : c_memid TYPE char10 VALUE 'ZCCBPR1'.
Move the function codes to the program varaibles
v_first = gv_bdt_fcode.
v_second = sy-ucomm.
Export the function codes to Memory ID
EXPORT v_first
       v_second TO MEMORY ID c_memid.        "ZCCBPR1 --- Here you are sending the values to memory
Then retrieve it.
Retrieve the function codes from the Memory ID
IMPORT v_first TO v_fcode_1
         v_second TO v_fcode_2
FROM MEMORY ID c_memid.                                   "ZCCBPR1
FREE MEMORY ID c_memid.                                   "ZCCBPR1
After reading the values from memory ID free them your problem should be solved.
Thanks

Memory problems with PreparedStatements

Driver: 9.0.1 JDBC Thin
I am having memory problems using "PreparedStatement" via jdbc.
After profiling our application, we found that a large number oracle.jdbc.ttc7.TTCItem objects were being created, but not released, even though we were "closing" the ResultSets of a prepared statements.
Tracing through the application, it appears that most of these TTCItem objects are created when the statement is executed (not when prepared), therefore I would have assumed that they would be released when the ResultSet is close, but this does not seem to be the case.
We tend to have a large number of PreparedStatement objects in use (over 100, most with closed ResultSets) and find that our application is using huge amounts of memory when compared to using the same code, but closing the PreparedStatement at the same time as closing the ResultSet.
Has anyone else found similar problems? If so, does anyone have a work-around or know if this is something that Oracle is looking at fixing?
Thanks

From your mail, it is not very clear:
a) whether your session is an HTTPSession or an application defined
session.
b) What is meant by saying: JSP/Servlet is growing.
However, some pointers:
a) Are there any timeouts associated with session.
b) Try to profile your code to see what is causing the memory leak.
c) Are there references to stale data in your application code.

Dual Channel memory problems on Neo 875P

I am having considerable trouble getting the NEO 875P to work with dual channel DDR400 DIMMs. I have two Kingston KVR400X64C25 DDR400 256MB memory modules, each of which works correctly by itself. However, once I move one
of the modules to channel B, I cannot boot my operating system (currently Windows XP.) The problem also occurs in Windows 2000, which I also have on the system. I receive blue screen errors that indicate paging/memory problems. I have upgraded my BIOS to the latest version (1.3)* in the hope that it would solve my problems, but it has not. The POST screen detects that there is 512MB of memory working in Dual Channel mode, but even when it does get through the O/S booting process (rarely), it crashes within minutes. Putting just one of the chips in makes the system perfectly stable. If anyone has any information, please let me know!
Thanks,
Jim Keller
http://www.centerfuse.net
* My board was dead after trying to flash the 1.3 BIOS, but after about 10 attempts of using CTRL+HOME method to recover the BIOS, it finally worked with version 1.0. I then re-flashed with 1.3, and it rebooted fine. Are there any updates about all of the problems with v1.3 ?

>I can only answer based on what I've read on this forum
I figured as much, I was just wondering if you knew whether MSI themselves frequents the forums or answers emails sufficiently.
I've had an interesting development though. I stumbled upon Tom's Hardware Guide's article about 875P motherboards at http://www17.tomshardware.com/motherboard/20030519/i875p-01.html
They mentioned that they needed to increase the memory voltage from 2.5 to 2.6 in the BIOS to get some memory modules to work. I did this, and for the first time, I am running in Dual channel DDR mode. However, the article also mentions that "the system does not run completely stably", so I guess I'll have to wait and see if it crashes again. However, I'm far enough beyond the XP splash screen to post this message, so I guess we're getting somewhere!

MS-6380 Memory Problem

I have a MS-6380E with the latest BIOS and chipset drivers. Athlon 1.5 Ghz processor, Geo4 Ti series card with 64MB ram and latest drivers and an SBLive Platinum 5.1 card, with the latest drivers. Windows XP Pro is the operating system. The system has 2 PC2100 256MB sticks of DDR ram on the board. This past weekend I tried to install a 3rd chip, PC2100 512MB chip to bring the system up to a Gig of ram. The system would reboot immediatly upon logging into Windows. I took the memory back and exchanged it for another. Installed it with similar results. I tried all three slots with the new memory and the two existing. No, I didn't try the new memory by itself. I finally go it to appear stable for a little bit but I also play Dark Age of Camelot and the latest symptoms were that the system would kick me back to the desktop as soon as I got to the initial "connecting" screen in Dark Age. I also had other odd behaviour with the additional ram installed like my modem taking longer to validate my connection. When I went back to the pre-existing configuration 512MB total, everything would stabilize. The DDR brand was Centron, I know it's not the same manufacturor as my other two sticks but I don't recall the brand on those. Also, just in case you needed to know Dark Age of Camelot is an MMORPG. I checked their tech section and nothing on this problem and their game. I've since returned the memory and have resigned to maxing out at 512MB tho the system specs say I can go to 3GB. I really like this board but am frustrated at the memory problem.

Nokia C5-03 Low memory problems ( Other Files )

Please help. I have a nokia C5-03 the handset is showing phone memory is full. I have checked and uninstalled all unecessay applications. But problem is still there. when i check the phone memory it indicates that i have other files of 42mb installed and using phone memory. however i am unable to check what other files are installed or classfied as other files. Can you please assist me so i can know what these other files consist of or where they are located.

Hi Thetao,
I typed a more extensive reaction before, but it got lost when I pressed "post". Therefore I just respond to the main points that you mentioned (and some I found out myself).
Strange: I can't find the 40 MB Maximum User Storage on the Nokia website anymore (nor the 75 MB). But it sounds very familiar to me. It looks to me as if they removed this from the phone specs, also of other Smartphones by the way.
Yesterday, I deleted some small apps that I don't use (anymore) such as InternetRadio and I also removed Nokia email. Although the apps were below 2 MB together, this freed up over 7 MB of Phone memory (24 MB free now)! I think there were still some old emails stored in C: which I couldn't delete any other way. This helped me a great deal already but I tried your suggestions as well.
1. No map data or CITIES folder on C: 2. Switched messages memory to phone (and phone to offline mode) and I did indeed find a forgotten email account with 30 email messages. Not much but I had 24,7 MB free after that. Of course, I put messages memory back to the memorycard. 3. Used the free edition of Y-Browser to manually delete the cache folder. Not much data in that, but 25,1 MB free after that. Nice tool, with which you can reach folders that normally stay hidden! Used YBrowser to search all C: for files over 300 kB. Only 2 files: boot_space.txt in C:\ (500 kB, contains only the X repeatedly as far as I see, but is probably essential for the operating system) and C:\resource\python25\pyton25.zip (1 MB). It looks like an installation package, but I'm not sure if I can delete it. By the way: YBrowser hasn't made a shortcut in one of the menus. Only way that I found to start it was to look for it using the Phone's search function. Is there a way to make this shortcut myself?
4. Yes I did. No Images folder on C: anymore, nor other big files (see point 3)
5. I use Bluetooth for file transfer sometimes, mainly for installation files (such as YBrowser.sis, but I did this one via USB-cable). However, no big files are left on C: so I don't think I have this problem.
6. I tried to delete Nokia Chat yesterday as well (with the other apps), but it won't be uninstalled the normal way as it says "Uninstall cancelled" (not sure about the exact translation since my phone 'speaks' Dutch) Do you know if there's another way to get rid of this 3 MB app that I don't use at all?
I think I may have found an explanation and a solution for the memory problem while navigating. You mentioned the "memory in use" in the map settings. Above that option there's a slide bar for the % of memory that the navigation can use. Standard is 70%. I always thought this was about storage memory on (in my case) the memorycard. Another topic mentioned that this the working memory (so the RAM) that the navigation may use. Setting it to 70% means there's only 30% left for other apps that run in the background. The other topic states that this is nog enough so the slider should be set to for instance 30% for navigation leaving 70% free for "the phone". From behind my computer, navigation seems much more stable. I'll try this setting in my car soon and let you know how it works.
Thanks a lot for thinking along with me so far! There's already 25,1 MB of space, which is great since it was only 7 MB last Sunday. And navigation looks more stable. I'd appreciate if you have some more answers to my latest questions, but if not I think my phone will work a lot better already!

Memory problem with jdk/jre 1.1.8

My name is BERGMANN Yannick.
I'm working for IRM in Li?ge and we developped an application (user interface for an industrial measurement system) in Java (JDK/JRE version : 1.1.8).
We have a big memory problem with this application :
- This user interface is running on a WINDOWS NT PC with 128MB.
- This is the command to lanch our application :
C:\Program Files\JavaSoft\JRE\1.1\bin\jrew.exe" -ms32m -mx32m -cp "\Program Files\HMI\HMI.zip;\Velocis\Add_On\Jdbc\raima.jar;\Program Files\Swing-1.1.1\swingall.jar" be.irm.hmi.kernel.HMI -t15 -d"Velocis rdstcp" -newdb -mf1m -mr20
- When our application is running, everything seems to be OK in memory for it. The garbage collector seems to work properly and our application has always at least 5MB free memory (We use the java instruction "Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory()" to know this).
- But when we look in the "Windows NT task manager" for the "jrew" application, the memory increases ALWAYS.
- After 5 days our application is completely frozen and blocked ...???
- here is a memory map of our Windows NT PC :
     "jre.exe"     "commit total"     "commit limit"     "commit peak"     "physical total"     "physical available"     "physical file cache"

Have you any idea of what is happening with "jrew" in memory ?
We have had this problem for six month and we are totaly out of idea.
If you can give us any idea, we'll appreciate a lot.
Thanks in advance,

We had a memory problem with a swing applet in our company. The major reason for this was that we added new components in a JTree and removed them later again, and the components we removed were never garbage collected. This was because with these components we added different listeners, and we didn't remove the listeners after we didn't need the components anymore. After we corrected this, the components where garbage collected.
Perhaps it's a similar problem you have, or I have no idea. Check that you remove actionlisteners, mouselisteners etc from components you want to be garbage collected.
You could also test your application with OptimizeIt to see what objects you create and how many you get of them over time: http://www.vmgear.com

Memory problem with 5330 XpressMusic

Hi,
I seem to have a memory problem with my 5330, I have a 1Gb micro disc installed. My son sent me a photo from his phone, when it arrived I got a warning on the scren that 'there is not enough memory to receive messages', I have tried to delete as much as I can, a lot tells me I can't delete it, but I still get the same warning. This warnig shows up each time I switch on the phone. How can I get myself more space? Can I move things from the phone memory to the memory card?

Are you sure you're using a 5330 XpressMusic? Or is it a 5320 XpressMusic? The former is yet to be released, AFAIK.
Assuming that you are using a 5320, try these steps:
-> Move all photos, music, videos stored in the phone memory to the memory card. You can use the built-in File Manager to accomplish this.
-> Delete all files that you would've received via bluetooth, present in your Inbox. You can save them to the mass storage.
-> Clear the browser cache.
-> Clear the Sent Items folder.
-> Make sure you don't have too many messages in your inbox.
Hope this helps
