PSE 7 RAM Experiences Occasional RAM Issues

I have noticed this a number of times and it is quite annoying. When in the editor and formatting images, resizing them, correcting brightness, etc..., when you finally go to save, only after you have done the same thing a number of times, in this particular case only 4 times, the product displays a popup saying RAM is exhausted. Its only using like 300MB at the time. I assume the product has an internal memory leak and needs to be fixed. I have other applications running of course, but frankly this is a honking system and there should be now complaints, it rarely has less than 2GB free RAM.
Quad 9850 AMD
Thermolake cooling
4GB RAM
Windows XP 64
Any insights?

One thing to remember about photoshop elements 7,
is that elements 7 is a 32 bit program, so even though you have
a 64 bit os, elements 7 can only use around 2 gb of ram (probably less).
Having other programs running at the same time may use alot
more ram than you think and running some of the filters
on images in elements can really dig into your ram.
Have you tried shutting down the other applications and
does it make any difference?
In the Edit>Preferences tab of the pse7 editor, what percentage
of ram do have set?
While some years ago 4gb of ram was alot, by todays standards
it's not.

After effects ram preview video playback issue

Greetings -- I have Mac Pro 2.93 GHz 12 Core with Nvidia Quadro 4000 & 24GB Ram.
During ram preview playback, it seems as though the video isn't refreshing fast enough in the display -- meaning its almost as if I can see the refresh on the top/bottom half of the frame happening separately. It's a bit diffucut to describe, actually. This does not happen with the same clip in Premiere, just AE.
The rendered video is fine and plays in QT/VLC, etc. without issue, it's just ram preview and is very distracting.
Any help woul dbe greatly appreciated!
Seth

CS6, 720p clip, 100%, Full, 29.97 fps. This may be related to the preview settings... It seems to go away if I turn it to final quality v.s. adaptive.

The difference between regular ram and "apple ram" from 3rd parties

So I made a previous post on the Macrumors forums regarding whether the RAM issues in the Unibody MacBook have been resolved or not: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=692653
It seems that most people who bought OCZ ram have had no issues what so ever. I am located in Canada so a store like CanadaComputers is great for me because I can go pick it up instead of having it delivered and pay shipping costs (as opposed to Newegg.ca). On their website, they have two modules with similar specs expect one is found in the Apple ram section and the other is in the regular ram.
Apple Ram (OCZ)
http://canadacomputers.com/index.php...80&cid=RAM.188
Regular Ram (OCZ)
http://canadacomputers.com/index.php...id=RAM.187.778
When comparing the specs, the only difference I can see is that the CL on the Apple ram is 7-7-7-20. The CL on the regular ram is CL 8-8-8-27.
The price difference between the two is $57! OCZ's website confirms that one is made specifically for Apple Notebooks and the other is just regular.
Can anyone explain what CL is and whether it is something that needs to be taken into consideration. Thanks.

That only needs to be taken into consideration if you're using applications which are very demanding about performance, which aren't intended for usage by home users. Click here for more information.

T420 won't boot with 2x4GB RAM (two identical RAM)

Hi all,
I am experiencing a weird issue that I'm hoping you'll be able to help me with.
My T420 came with 1x4GB of ram (underneath the keyboard) and I wanted to upgrade to 2x4GB RAM so I bought exactly the same RAM again.
Both RAMs work fine by themselves, in the bay under the keyboard as well as in the bay underneath the laptop. Both RAM were tested individually in both RAM slots. The laptop works just fine with either of the RAM individually in either of the RAM slots.
BUT if I put them both in at the same time, the T420 won't boot. It switches on (screen stays black) and instantly switches back off. Without pushing any button, the T420 will then switch itself on again about 3-5 seconds later. This process is repeated indefinitely. I don't even get to see the ThinkPad security screen where you can access BIOS. I switched the RAM around in the slots but this didn't resolve the issue either.
I have never had anything like that before. Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this problem?
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards
Lippasti

Has seriously no one ever had this issue? There must be a solution to this since I can rule out that either one of the RAM or the RAM slots is damages since each RAM works fine in each slot separately. I'm only experiencing this issue if I put them in simultaniously.
Is there possibly any BIOS settings which I need to adjust prior to installing the second RAM?
Not that I think it matters since I can't even boot it to the Windows screen but here are some specs. I am using a Kingston 512GB SSD and the other specs are:
Here's the RAM I am using.

Are there any tips for freeing Working RAM (not Storage RAM)

I have an iPad 2 running iOS 6.1.3 and was wondering if there are any tips or tricks to use to free up working RAM, not storage RAM. By this I mean, I want to free up memory so that an app I have will run as it currently seems to be crashing due to low memory.
I have read that the following will help to free RAM for apps to run better. Can someone in the know let me know if this is really true or not?
1. Turn off Notifications
2. Turn off Location Services
3. Turn off Indexing in Spotlight
4. Turn off Multitask Gestures
5. Turn off Keyboard Auto Correct and Check Spelling
6. Turn off iCloud Syncing
And since I am asking, does anyone know if there are apps that somehow attach themselves to the iOS and use small amounts of RAM in the background even if the app is not actually running? Could I compare what I am asking to something like how Services work on a Windows PC?
Thanks to any and all who can enlighten me.
Dan

Are you having an issue with one specific app? It may help to shut down all background apps, then perform a device reset and try to run the app immediately after the reset. It certainly won't hurt to try.
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Intel Core i5 or i7 and 4GB ram or 8GB ram for school usage and gaming Football Manager 2013

Hi all,
I'm considering bying the new Macbook Air 13'' but i'm confused whether to go for the Intel Core i5 og i7 processor and with 4GB ram or 8GB ram? I will use it for school stuff, web browsing and for gaming Football Manager 2013. Which one should I go for?

i5 should be able to handle it, however as you know MBA isn't a gaming laptop. So you can't expect the best results. Will it run smoothly? Reading some of the reviews, it's not that terrible. However if you play football manager often I would upgrade to the i7. For occasional gaming, I would definitely stick with i5 because of better battery.
Tbh, I'm not much of a gamer. But I use Final Cut Pro, photoshop, and do other type of intense tasks.
I decided to go with the i5 for myself and spend the $150 on something else (like external drive, monitor).
Anyways to answer your question, it depends on how often you play. If you play 24/7 the upgrade will be worth it.
But for occasional gaming, again I would stick for better battery :)
(But external battery can be purchased vs you won't be able to upgrade to i7.... Just a random thought..)

I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

Hi there
Please check with your credit card issuer to see why payment is not being approved. When this is resolved you should be able to place a new order.

I occasionally have issues waking my macbook pro up from sleep mode and have to restart the computer. The apple store replaced the sleep part but the problem is still there

I occasionally have issues waking my macbook pro up from sleep mode resulting in my need to restart the computer. I dislike all of my programs opening at once when I do get the computer started becasue it slows the cpu down. The apple store replaced the sleep part but the problem is still there. Note: i never had this problem with snow leopard

I'm not certain but my new MBA 13...when in sleep mode comes back on from a black screen when I simply click on the left mouse button. Also, one time I did a SECURE EMPTY TRASH on files that totalled more than 1GB and it took so long that the fan kept increasing in speed so I pressed on the POWER button and the MBA shut...I was able to boot up with no problem. As a rule, I now only do secured erases for trash bin data totalling 500mb or less...anything above that gets a regular erase (dump).

Want to upgrade from 4mg RAM to 8mg RAM MacBook Pro mid 2012

I want to upgrade my MacBook Pro (13" mid 2012, 2.5GHz, Intel Core i5) from 4mg RAM to 8mg RAM. Running Mavericks. Any suggestions on which brand name RAM I should consider?
Do I need to go to an Apple Store to get my RAM put in (quite far for me) or is it okay to go to a place like Future Shop or Best Buy? Should I attempt it myself?
I found this thread:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1270

2 sticks is the norm. Crutial is recommened because it is known to work properly, as well as having support. I have read of instances of problems with other suppliers. Try pricing it from Apple.

VSphere 6.0 on HP DL360 G9 servers?? -- experiences?? issues??

I'm hoping to get new servers this year and I want to get HP G9 servers since they will be supported longer then G8 servers.
Has anyone installed vSphere 6.0 on HP G9 servers yet??
Experiences?? Issues??
Thank you, Tom

I am ordering them with two (2) 500 GB disks…hopefully!!
I know they can have two flash cards…I have not found anything pros or cons about using flash cards vs. hard drives for running ESXi except that in another vSphere cluster I did, I had to use hard drives because one can not use the flash cards as local storage (e.g. that cluster required running an appliance on local storage).
Thank you, Tom

Is there a noticeable difference from a 2gb ram to 8gb ram on 2.3ghz mac mini?

Just asking if it is worth upgrading to 8gb on my 2.3ghz mac mini with 2gb of ram in it.

Ram is so darn cheep. I would always opt for more ram up to 8 GB just in case I need it someday.

iMacs are particular about their RAM - I stick with the two most recommended here: OWC (macsales.com) or Crucial. Both have fair pricing and lifetime warranty.

2 x 4 GB are less than $50 and they have great install videos online (under the tech support tab).
FWIW, I have that same combo coming for my MBP (in addition to an SSD drive - yes!!).

CS5 trial issues with ram and content aware issues.

I run a vista 32 machine with 4 gigs. I have tried just about everything including running the machine in minmum and loading only windows and adobe CS5. I still get the error of "Could not fill because there is not enough memory (RAM)". I have tried playing with the performce settings and GL settings to give adobe as much memory as it needed but it is still not working.
I am working with a file that is 6.49mb which is the average of what my raw file convert to when I download them from my camera. Now the only way I can get it to work is seriously downgrade the file in size and then the content aware fill works great or decrease the area that is going to be filled.
So am I missing something or do I have to convert everything over to 64 bit and throw 8 gigs in this machine to get this to work with those tyoe of file sizes?
Thanks

Hi again everyone. I tried the original solution of turning off OpenGl support in preferances and that worked for me. Granted there are still some problems.
To recap:
I have an Intel Core i7 processor with 4GB RAM and Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit (didn't want to go down the 64bit route for compatability issues with other programs). Because Adobe do not support the Canon EOS 5D Mk II in CS3's camera RAW I upgraded to CS4 (that's were things began to become unstable). CS4 was flakey at best. Nice new feel (when it worked). Now I am no dummy when it comes to computers (I run my own IT company as well as photographic business - they kinda compliment each other). After loading CS5 (mainly for content aware feature and hoping it was a bit better than CS4 turned out to be - like most of you on this forum) the neat feature that Adobe had been raving about didn't work as advertised.
Back to where I am up to now. I will not turn this into a Mac vs PC debate since we have aldready had earlier, someone with a "brand new MacBook Pro" complaining of the same issue. I can state that, of all the systems I work on with Windows 7 (which is alot), the only one I am having major issues with is my own. And the only piece of software giving me grief (if you saw my two screens you would have trouble counting the apps on my system), is Photoshop CS5! After turning off OpenGL I can now stitch 12 or more RAW 5D MarkII photos with no problem, generating a file 938MB in size. The first time I did this I still had to original files open and it would not let me do any content aware modifications. Fair enough. I closed all the source files, flattened the layers to produce a single flat layer to work with and then tried content aware. "Not enough memory". I had to bring the file down in size to under 50MB to get it to work on any decent sized area. Now I don't want to have to go out and buy "Blow up" to renlarge my photos because Adobe can not get their memory management working! Lets be clear about this. This is not a Windows problem. Photoshop assigns its own memory, its own scratch disk and interfaces with the Graphics card. So if I assign 1.5GB of memory to Photoshop, 400GB as a scatch disk and have 1GB of video memory why does it still have issues with a 50MB file!!!! Piss poor programming!
Here are my issues. I was sold on CS5 due to a brilliant (if not misleading video) that showed "content aware" at work on Adobe's web site. There was no mention that I would need a super computer or 64bit operating system to work its magic. On purchasing the product as so many of you have discovered it does not work as promissed. In two days of posting to this site I have not seen one representative of Adobe making any comment as to even if they are working on this issue.
Please ADOBE, you big multinational software company, PLEASE make us feel better for having purchased CS5 and not let it be the big white lemon it seems to be.

RAM Bezzel; Possible Boot Issue

On the MacBook Pro. I have noticed now 2 times on 2 books; That initially the MacBook Pro will not boot.
Removed Battery.
Remove 3 Screws covering RAM Bezzel.
Remove Top RAM Card.
Re-connect Battery and the MacBook Boots. <shutdown>
Re-connect Top RAM Card. MacBook Boots AGaiN. And will continue to boot, IF, you do not tighten the 3 screws ALL the WaY.
My Conclusion.. THe Area where the RAM Bezzle is located is getting hot and crimping the ribbon connecting RAM to MB. Losening the Screws keeps the ribbon from being crimped and regains connection to MB.
The Question(s) Is(are)?
Can anybody confirm this?.. Can you better explain this issue? ..
Lastly...
If I do this on Dead Mac Books in House, Does it void our Warranty?

I have seen this issue:
Make sure the Memory Bay cover is "seated all the way" into the recess on the upper most part of the MBP. And tighten the screw only "hand tight" NOT torked on.
You can do it over and over again and still not have the memory bay cover on right. It must be completely flush and almost "snap" into place.

Can you tell me if I ran into the same issue? I have a MBP 2.2 G Santa Rosa. I ordered 2x2G sticks from OWC (always good stuff there). I opened up the RAM compartment, removed the 1G sticks, and put in the new RAM.
Closed it all up, replaced the battery, plugged in the power. Tried to restart, and got nothing- no boot sound. Only the "Sleep" LED flashing 3 times, pause, repeat. On the Apple website, they say it's due to "Marginal" Ram.
So- I take it all apart again, put back in the original RAM. Boots fine.
I put one 2G stick in the top slot (an original 1G in the lower). Boots fine. Do the same with the other stick- fine. Then I put a 2G stick in the lower slot- boots fine. Both 2G in the slots and close it all up- fine.
Now it's running with both 2G sticks, System Profiler tells me it has 4G ram (yay!) and so far Rember is looking good.
But the "Marginal Ram" warning has me a bit worried. Was it because I somehow didn't seat the chips or cover properly? It all seems to be working great now, but I don't want to be stuck away from home without my screwdrivers and the MBP not boot or something.
When you've seen this before, was it accompanied by the 3 Flashes syndrome?
Thanks!
Jeremy
Jeremy,
Funny thing you mention this! I had the exact same problem. I had some really expensive RAM I bought for my original 2.16 MBP 17". I recently sold it to upgrade to the SR 2.4 15" Glossy which I love.
I popped in the RAM and I get the exact same problem you described. I compared both RAM sticks and I see the old RAM says 5300 and the one that came with the newer Mac says 5300S.
I am wondering if that makes the difference.
Seems the RAM you have and that I have is just not compatible.
