Racoon on 10.6 is a big mem hog

So I have the exact same setup running on 10.5...to the letter. Currently racoon is sitting at 1.01 megs of real mem use. 10.6 it's sitting at 336 megs of real mem use.....no good. No connections had been made to the VPN yet...

If you open console. Applications > Utilities > Console
and in the console messages do a search for the word NVRAM
Do you see any messages that look like the one below?
*Can't access "efi-boot-device" NVRAM variable*

  • LiveType SLOW.. OSX 10.5 Virtual Mem Hog Questions.

    First - need to vent some - Sorry. You don't have to say it - I have an older machine. -BUT- I am really confused by some of the statements I am reading about Virtual RAM usage associate with MAC apps. Many in Mac Support worlds are suggesting the age old Microsoft solution - just add more ram or a bigger drive. Horse hockey. I have programmed Windows, Unix, OSX and Linux - the real answer typically is - how many "no-ops did they program in their code to force user hardware upgrades to new systems" and how tight is their code. I'd like to believe that MAC application developers are somewhat better than those in Microsoft. To say I'm miffed isn't coming close. OKAY-Enough for venting. Lets shift to problem solving.
    *The Problem At Hand.*
    Am running OSX 10.5 with FinalCut Express 4.0 and Livetype (i.e. LT) 2.1.4. Attempting a test of scrolling credits of 40 seconds at DV quality (29.97 fps)-hence 1200 frames. Just text - black on wht bkgnd - no video background. No other applications running except Activity Monitor. This rendering took 6 hrs 58 min - totally unacceptable. Processing averaged 95% of total CPU cycles for both processors for nearly 7 hrs. Interesting that multithreading is occurring but not consistently across both processors - seems in most cases to promote an OR operation not an AND - whose brain child was that one. Although less than 50% of literal RAM is being totally utilized by all processes, LT consumes only 70Megs - yet also allocates and consumes 1.8Gig of Virtual - what gives? Many times, the LT process would hang showing (not responding), but would only last for 2-3 seconds before resuming, and ever so often would log statistics of shared memory to be 16,xxx,xxx.00(TB) - where the 'x's would vary but still a huge number. Any clues on that one either?
    In all, my dual 1GHz processors may be arguably slower than the newer quad-core models, but lets do the math. A 32 or 64 bit architecture clocking at parallel 1GHz rates is a huge amount of bits. With a 32bit bus thats 32 Billion Bits each second (bps) or with a 64bit buss (64 B bps). As such, 1200 DV quality frames at 720x480 resolution (345.6kb ea) is 414.72Mb total. I realize that vectoring and other video mathematics need to take place –BUT- even if this adds a factor of 10x this now implies 4.1472Gb implying processing time of 0.13 seconds to process 1200 DV frames –or- half of that for a 64 bit buss – and for a single processor. Reverse engineering shows an interesting picture – 7hours of 95% dual processor utilization for a 32 bit architecture is 1532.16 Tb (at 25,200 s) implying nearly 4.4B DV frames –or- 42,000 HOURS of DV video for 7hrs of 95% processing horsepower. Something is really wrong here.
    I am told by MAC support that my Video cards ALU does little for MAC video applications leaving most of the job to the CPU's - a real shame. I also do not quite know how to factor into the clocking equation RAM transfer speed for PC2700. Since there is so much virtual ram shifting occurring - I presume that this converts hard drive space for RAM - I have basic 100MBs transfer rates at 7200RPMs – hence another potential limiting factor.
    Questions.
    1. If Virtual mem is slowing this - how do I shift to actual ram within OSX10.5?
    2. In LT, how does one start and stop the Inspector window? Need to shut it off or at least pause it.
    3. Any thoughts toward why OSX10.5 apps take lots of virtual ram at the expense of actual ram?
    4. Any thoughts to speeding up LT in general?
    Thanks,

  • Safari 5 - A Big Memory Hog

    Safari 5 hogs memory up to a point where it slows down the whole system and provokes freezes by the dozen -- on my system with 4 GB of RAM no other software is as often "unresponsive" as Safari.
    Safari's memory usage starts with about 150 MB real memory (plus the same amount in virtual memory) and after some browsing gobbles up to 1 GB (Firefox and Chrome never exceed 120 MB). Then all other open programs as well as the Finder slow down to a crawl.
    I haven't installed any plugins or extensions other than those loaded with the standard Safari installation. I use ClickToFlash to avoid Flash content. And I also go regularly through all the motions like permission repair, cache emptying (which I do several times a day), Onxy etc.
    The only remedy currently is optimizing the memory with the iFreeMemory utility (recommended!!!).
    I'm amazed that nothing has been done in to solve this problem in Safari 5 although this is a known issue since Safari 4.

    I experience this memory problem too, but since a few days only. I never registered Safari using that much memory before, however it managed to fill my whole 4 GB of RAM several times in the past days.
    I tried to apply the classic advice you get in online forums, like permission repair and cache emptying, but these measures could only delay the problem. Deactivating the extensions "adblock" and WOT didn't help.
    Moreover, I originally bought a mac in order to not need to do such work anymore...^^.
    Is there any further advice available on this subject, else than getting back to using firefox (I really like the speed and appearance of safari)?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Why doesn't firefox have an uninstall button ...Or don't run when it's update shows it isn't compatible with my wireless hp printer? I don't want the version installed when it takes away my being able to print wirelessly!!!!!!

    I don't want the updates...If they take away the ease of using my computer! The latest version didn't recognize the FB shortcut. and I use my wireless printer now I don't think I can because it had no updates for the printer after firefox updated I want to be able to back out of the update if it isn't compatible!!!!

    I am the original poster, and I got rid of CA Security Suite & and loaded the Avast! which has some great features even on the freeware. No more crashes or freezing & yes I think there is a problem with CA & Firefox, but am not sure what it is. CA was a big time hog. I also got rid of my ISP and installed a Intellinet Wireless G PCI Card & now am completely wireless on my PC. Faster by far than what I was paying $50/month for & I use my Windows Firewall.

  • I have The latest Firefox installed on an older Dell, and the CA security suite thru my ISP, which takes all my CPU and causes everything to freeze when I try to access it's features. I need a free internet security program that does tax my system so much

    Have older Dell Dimension 32/bit with Win XP Prof 2002. I have installed CA security suite from my ISP, which is a huge program and uses 100% of CPU on start-up & shut down, slowing everthing to a snails pace. I have removed evrything I don't need using 30 day free Revo Unistaller Pro, but when I try to access CA's Firewall to add programs to the exception rule, it will open, then freezes along with Firefox tabs and anything else. Can't even shut down from start menu. I want to get rid of CA(although it is a good program, it's too big), and go back to using my Win Firewall(or another better free firewall that's good for more than 30 days trial) and some other free internet security program that is easy, runs in the background and doesn't take all my resources and isn't just a 30 day free trial till you buy the program. I am also trying to install a wireless adapter so I can drop my ISP and use the free city/county signal as no work for 20 months!

  • /itunes library and /itunes library.xml move

    Is it possible to move these files into the location where the actual music resides? Or does itunes always need these on the local drive where it is running? If it must be on the local drive, can I backup these 2 files and restore them without corrupting the database?

    This may be already implied but what I want to do is have some portions of my iTunes library in one location (on another drive) and other portions elsewhere. For example I want my music on my laptop for portability but I want my big space hog stuff like movies and tv shows and video podcasts on an external volume. Is it possible to locate TV Shows and Podcasts on another drive? how about a remote drive across a LAN? Does this method work for this?

  • How to delete the many versions of the same song?

    Help please, how do I delete old versions of a song? When I add to or tweak a piece, I first save it with a new name, like song 1, then song 2, etc. so that I have a copy of every change. This takes up space when I have 50 versions each of 10 songs. Now my hard drive is down to 7.4 and I was told to keep it in the double digits. I went to Logic,
    chose the song from the next column, then in the next column filled with versions of the same song, I selected one, like old version 1, hit delete and nothing happened. I held down the apple key too and hit delete. Nothing. HELP please. I have not used this before but my 1-1 has ended since Apple won't allow renewals anymore. Also. I have all versions saved on 2 external hard drives.

    Hi,
    now first you'll need the right permissions for the folder where your songs are stored. I assume that you have the read/write permissions (or supervisor permissions).
    Let's assume your songs are named "songxversiony.logic". They will reside in a main folder named "songx" containing all the "songxversiony.logic" files, and there will be subfolders called "audio files" "bounces" "Fade files" "Project File Backups" "Sampler Instruments" (maybe) and "Undo Data" and maybe one or two others.
    1st: Usually, Logic stores your songs in /(your username)/music/Logic/... , so please open your finder and look if they are there.
    2nd: You can delete all unneeded "songxversiony.logic" files from the finder. This should be possible by hitting the delete button. Otherwise check your permissions.
    3rd: Now getting rid of the Song file (xy.logic) won't delete the really big Disk-Hogs, which are the Audio Files you used in earlier versions (but don't need them anymore). They still reside in the "Audio Files" subfolder.
    4th: Fire up Logic, load your Project. Tap the "B" key to open the Bin and there you'll have all the audio files that ever were used in your project. Now many of them aren't needed anymore. So *within the bin* hit Shift-U to select all unused Audio files (or in the menu: edit -> select all unused). Hit DEL to remove them from the bin.
    5th: Now these hogs are *still there* (what the...? ) To finally get rid of them, go to Logic's Menu bar: File -> Project -> clean up. You will be asked if you really want to delete the unused files, and yes, off they go to the trash.
    You may also look inside the bounces folder if there are old bounces you don't need anymore.
    Problem solved.

  • What is the OPTIMAL version of the OS for a 2010 Mac mini?

    Searching for expert opinions on which is the optimal (not necessarily the latest) version of OS X to run on a 2.4GHz Mac mini 4,1 2010 model, built in Feb of 2011?  It's currently on Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  This is my wife's machine.
    Additionaly, if it happens to be 10.7.5, are there any considerations when attaching an external FW800 2-GB hard drive regarding partitioning the drive?
    Thanks in advance.

    I assume you are satisfied that the worst bugs in ML have been fixed.
    Yes, Mountain Lion runs as well as Snow Leopard.
    We're upgrading my wife's Mac mini to 4 GB and hope that will be fine for her, as she's not a Photoshop user, does not do video or play games.  I hope the ML OS is not such a resource hog that it requires the *8GB you have.
    Mountain Lion and Safari are both pretty big RAM hogs and will pretty much use the better part of 4GB. If she plans on running Mail, iTunes, iPhoto, etc. at the same time, then your going to want to fix her up with 8GB.
    For Example: besides the basic Mountain Lion processes, Safari and iTunes I'm using a little over 4GB.
    However if I open other App's like iPhoto, OpenOffice, Google Earth for example's, I can easily use 6GB+

  • Can I move MobileSync to a hard disk other than startup volume?

    I have been told many times by others 'in the know' that you have to keep certain files on the start-up volume. However, I have 2 internal HDs on my iMac, and the SSD (start up volume) is quite small - only 250GB. The other drive is 1 TB and I have about 15 TB of externals available via Lightning connection. The problem is that the internal SSD is continually filling up, and since I have several mobile devices I am synching with iTunes, they are gobbling up tons of disk space on the startup volume. Is it possible to move MOBILE SYNC to a different drive? There is nothing in 'preferences' for mobile sync that can specify the volume where these files should be stored. They are taking up almost 85GB of disk space. My temptation right now is to clone the 1TB internal over to an external drive, then clone the SSD internal over to the 1TB internal, and make that 1TB internal drive the new startup volume, but it would require reformatting and reinstalling operating system software, since there isn't any on that drive.
    I am sort of 'stuck' because when I setup a replacement iPhone on Monday from a backup of the previous phone (that had a defective antenna), about 100 recordings in the RECORDER APP were not restored to the new iPhone, and I need to dig through some iPhone backups to try to find one that might have them on it. I hate to lose some of those very valuable recordings from a one-week intensive graduate seminar.  Any suggestions for pruning the startup volume?
    Disk Inventory X is showing only 7.2GB of open space and 225.8GB full on the SSD startup volume.  Here are the big space 'hogs:'
    Users -  168.5 GB  (library 151.3GB; movies 15GB, which is odd, since all of the movies are stored externally.) In 'application support, MobileSync is taking up 82.5GB and Mail is taking up 47.9GB. (some of this mail goes way back, and needs to be archived, but I am not sure if that possibility exists in current OS)
    Applications - 16.5 GB
    Library  - 11.5GB
    iMac  - intel (3 yrs old)
    OSX 10.9.5
    iPadAir
    'the new iPad'
    iPhone 5S
    various other mac devices...

    Well iTunes itself takes up virtually no space. I believe what you are suggesting is a move of your music files. Now these files can be moved to another drive and iTunes will act just like normal. The catch is that your music files pretty much have to be in one place. If you already have all your music stored in the My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music folder than you should be good. If you do not its a little trickier. In your preferences menu of iTunes under the advanced tab there are the options to "Keep iTunes music folder organized" and to "Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library". You will want both of these checked. Then under the advanced tab (The one not in the preferences menu) There is an option to consolidate library. This will copy all the music in your library not in the iTunes folder to the iTunes folder. Thus you will want to delete duplicated when the process is over. (If your drive is too slim on space for this opperation... then I don't know what to tell you.) With all your music in the iTunes folder just drag and drop said folder onto the new drive. Then under the advanced tab in preferences the first option is to change the location of your iTunes music library. Simply change it to where you have stored your library on the new drive and you will be set to go.

  • How can I determine wasted HD file useage, HD full, Image Capture Manual?

    I am a switcher. I have started using an SLR camera. I tried using imovie and iDVD and failed but now have more file room tied up. I deleted all but an DVD movie from stills and digital cam quicktime movies. I do not have a Handycam typecamera yet, but that is why I bought Iphoto 6. Have young grandchildren.
    Big problem. Error came up that my hd was dangerously full . I began deleting unused programs I can add later.
    I have a G5 with 160HD internal and an external LaCie which I have been using for .Backup. Having trouble reseting the timing on how frequently .Backup does its thing. So basically end up turning it off every few minutes.
    Now...I am trying to learn more detailed use of Image Capture and the Apple bundled Graphic Converter. I do not see any pdf manual anywhere for these.
    1. Can anyone direct me to manuals on these so I can stop duplicating all my files.
    2. How can I see where my big file hogs are , especially duplicate files or even applications. I have PHotoshop CS2 in my computer (highest order of files) and in Applications in Rheta( my Home folder). If I delete it from the RhetaComputer level will it also disappear from my Applications?
    I have recently upgraded to Tiger using the method where it leaves a copy of the previous system to find internet settings etc. I still had to delete and reinstall most applications, printer, scanner, Photoshop etc. afte Apple tech told me insisted I didn't need a clean install. Is this hogging space?
    3. I found a book in the Missing Manual series on Apple Scripts. Which finds duplicate files, etc. It looked like a great way to keep organized. But it will have a learning curve. Would you recommend I get it.
    4. I would like any suggestions on how to set up my computer (add a bigger internal drive), add a similar sized external hard drive for all old IPHOTO and Photoshop files, add a 300 gigabyte or so external hard drive for image storeage. and keep using .Mac Backup, or switch to a third party like ? easy to use for someone who doesn't know Unix or Apple script yet.
    5.Take computer in to CompUSA or a local Apple consultant and sales store, in San Diego, it is Cry Wolf Consulting, buy the hard drives, have them set up the backup and routine maintenance.
    6. I had a tech offer to spend 4-5 hours at $100 an hour to help me. I cannot afford. Want to get this fixed before crashes.
    Please refer me to any Apple articles on full hard drives, using Image Capture to burn VCDs for non Apple users.
    I have books, but when sitting here, overwhelmed. Any help or refer to other postings appreciated. thanks. Drowning in full desktoppp clutter, dulicate files, no way to separate my originals from my edits. I have CD and DVD burned originals, but how do you keep them in IPHOTO or Photoshop file name system. A good reference here . I have struggled with iphoto vs Photoshop since switching.

    How can I see where my big file hogs are , especially duplicate files or even applications. I have PHotoshop CS2 in my computer (highest order of files) and in Applications in Rheta( my Home folder). If I delete it from the RhetaComputer level will it also disappear from my Applications?
    You can use WhatSize to find where the space on your hard disk is being used. If an item is present in both the Applications folder on your hard disk and the folder in your home folder, you can delete one of the copies without deleting the other one.

  • Akonadi and mysqld memory usage[Solved]

    After the mysql update I've noticed that mysqld for Akonadi is using more memory than before. While before I didn't even notice it for the most of the time, now it's the first biggest constant user of memory.
    And I have no idea why.
    How do I even troubleshoot this kind of problem?
    PS.: the usage is this:
    Virtual: 387M
    RES: 148M
    MEM% 7.4
    Which increased my memory usage from arround 900-100 to 1200
    Last edited by Primoz (2011-02-11 18:41:35)

    Okay what I've learned is that you have to keep .config files clean. I've reinstalled Akonadi, deleted ~/.config/akonadi folder and after some problems because of it, I finally got things working and things kind of dropped a bit.
    But mysqld with akonadi is still a mem hog. But I guess this is how it's supposed to be.

  • Windows Update installed the drivers for the wrong sound card?

    I need serious help with this one.
    It all started October 31st when I find that Windows Update lists an update for my sound card - a Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit internal card. I install it, reboot, and realize that my sound is not coming through the speakers (Note, sound was working before I installed this update. I'm not even sure if the sound card is processing to it). I realized that Windows Update seemed to have installed the drivers for the wrong sound card. It installed drivers for "SB Audigy" (it was originally SB Li've!), why they chose to be so generic - I don't know. I later find out that not even Creative's website has this updated driver, but apparently, only Windows Update is issuing this out.
    But wait, it gets even more frustrating.
    So I don't have System Restore enabled (big resource hog), and I need to go back to the older drivers. I originally do a driver rollback using the Device Manager, which made the drivers go back to what they were before - but still wasn't outputting sound. I think even though the older drivers were being used by Windows, the software that Creative issued wasn't picking up this fact and thought I still using the newer ones for Audigy. So I decided to uninstall everything and start with an actual driver installation executable from Creative's website (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe). What I found out was that if new drivers are detected, I can't actually install over them.
    However, if I uninstall the drivers using the Device Manager, it'll automatically install everything - the control panel, the preferences, drivers, etc for the new "SB Audigy" drivers that were issued Oct 3st once I scan for hardware changes. The reason I need to scan for hardware changes is because if I uninstall the drivers from the Device Manager, it'll remove the instance of "SB Audigy" from the list. This causes problems for the installer for the older drivers (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe) because now it thinks there isn't any hardware to install the drivers for (all because I haven't made the Device Manager actually discover my actual sound card, yet unless I press "Scan for Hardware changes" which as a result, will install the newer drivers from Oct 3st automatically. I hope this makes sense so far).
    So now I can't uninstall the newer incorrect drivers so I can install the older ones for the actual sound card. Normally I heard that you can change something in the new driver's installation executable to properly uninstall everything. Only problem is, Windows Update doesn't exactly tell you where it's downloading the driver/hardware installation files. I know in the Software Distribution you can find Windows Update stuff downloading there - but I couldn't find the SB Audigy driver update it keeps installing while "scanning for hardware changes" in the Device Manager.
    This was incredibly hard to put into detail, so I hope that it makes a little bit of sense. If you need clarification on anything please let me know and I'll do anything to help eliminate the problem. Just remember I have:
    Windows 7 x64
    Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit
    I think the only problem I'd like to solve is - how could I install older drivers if Windows keeps installing the newer ones even after I uninstall them? Because right now, I can't do much unless I know how to get rid of the installation files for the Oct 3st update so it won't have anything to use. Another way to rephrase the question is, how could I get the Device Manager in Windows to display my soundcard as "Multimedia Audio Controller" for as long as I need so I can run SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe which will then detect that there is a sound card that can use the drivers and install them properly?
    Thanks for your help guys, I hope we can solve this. Because I've done everything I could. Hopefully I don't need to reinstall the operating system just so I can have sound working.

    Click on Start> ALL Programs > Creative > Creative Audio Console.
    Make sure speakers are set to 5. if that's what you're using. I like to Synchronize with Windows Control Panel. Turn EAX to No effects, and/or turn effects to 0%. On the CMSS 3D Tab, turn the Mode to OFF.

    I am unable to see the orchestration plan in OSM 7.2.2 . When i installed oSM and was able to open the WebUI and see the relevant page.
    Once i deployed the Pip cartridges after that page opens just with the <div Tag. Other then <div i can not find anything in the page.
    Below are the logs as well

    Thanks for the responses. I ended up re-installing Logic. And it seemed to be a project related error (?). The project I was working on, if I opened it, made everything go crazy and then even if I closed it and then opened anything else, it still was crazy. So, I moved all the midi from that file and copied it onto a new file (took me a day to reconfigure the stupid thing). It seemed like a "fix" (sort of). I'm still having some strange problems (now Logic is crashing about every hour or so with one of those thread "0" crashed reports). I've been keeping one step ahead - as I said, it seems to be a file problem (like my files do fine for awhile and then decide they are corrupt) - so, I've been working and saving and then when it crashes I open up the .bak of the old file (because the real file is now corrupt and won't open without crashing) and then copy into a new file - which eventually crashes. So, out of the frying pan into the fire sort of situation.
    Two things to consider :
    1.- Regular Os maintenance, which needs to be done, AS PER APPLE's instructions. Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Os routines. I use a free application called Onyx, to force-execute once a month. This cleans up old caches, restores permissions, can re-initialize indexes such as the Spotlight one ( a big resource hog if left unattended)
    2.- DE-FRAGMENTING the audio hard drives. Mind you, NOT the system drive, but the drive that houses al your audio and Logic projects. If you are on your internal system drive with your projects, please run and get a dedicated hard drive. It's right in the darn manual, to use a dedicated hard drive for audio playback and recording. I keep seeing too many people on this very forum not doing this, having their computer crash, and it's all because they did not open and read the manual. Hopefully you're not in this category of people. I happen to use iDefrag for this task, it is quite good.
    Cheers

  • Lumia series has very weird battery usage, please ...

    Hey. I have a lumia 920 and a 1020, and my wife has a 925. All of them does the same thing, and I can not for the life of me figure out why it does it.
    Suddenly it will use the battery like crazy. I mean crazy as in losing 50% in an hour laying idle. It might even restart sometimes. I have played around with all sort of settings making sure nothing is turned on that does not need to be on.
    It does this at random, and at random times. It might be days between.
    I tried all sort of battery apps to see if I could find one that would specify what the battery was used on, but as fare as I can see there is no such app. There is graphs and % per hour and so on, but no specific power usage app.
    I really hope that I am not alone in this, and there is a solution out there. It is a really big problem as the phone has ran out of power in the middle of the night, and I use it as an alarm clock. It has used 100% just laying on the table in 1 night, though I am not sure when exactly it ran out of juice.
    Anyone know **bleep** is going on? This is the 3ed phone that does it, and I dont know whats wrong here.

    There have been instances where I have experienced excessive battery drain on my Lumia phones. The worst was due to my Exchange account which tore through my battery in just a few short hours. What actually happened was that my company decided to block all access to everyones accounts while they were carrying out some security work but my phone went into overdrive trying to constantly synchronise with the servers and failing. This caused the battery to drain very rapidly indeed. 
    So my first tip would be to check out all accounts and apps that have a regular sync interval or require an active internet connection to function. Things like instant messenger apps (Viber, WhatsApp and Skype) and also have a look at your Email accounts.
    Sometimes though, it can something as simple as a stuck process using the CPU but these can be difficult to identify and pin down. 
    Another major cause of excessive battery drain is when the phone is looking for a 3G/4G signal when you are in an area with poor 3G/4G coverage. 4G especially will be a big power hog and have more of an impact on your battery than 3G because it naturally uses more power than 3G.
    Lastly, you can search the forum for "Excess battery drain" or words to that effect for other help and advice, as this topic has been discussed quite a bit already.
