Ram Issues with leopard

Hello,
I am a very happy owner of an 3.06 gh imac and love it .
I upgraded the ram to 4Gb.
imac accepted it and it works well.
But ram fills up so quickly , amazing.
Like when i imported pictures it used all 4 gb of ram while importing.
Also it uses ram for apps and then when i quite the app the ram usage in the activity monitor doesnt go back as it was before like somehow still shows used.
Is there any program to check if my installed ram is well used?
It seems yes but then why is so quickly used?
and why it doesnt show availble as before using app , when i quit app?
If i dont upgrade to 4 gb , would it mean that my system wouldnt run?
As now the machine allways uses more then 2 whenever i open a few apps.
Before the upgrade for the same apps it used less then 2...
Also windows xp under vm fusion .. when i use it again the ram is over 2 gb .. would it mean the without 4 gb of ram i wouldnt be able to use fusion?
I dont understand..
Thank you a lot for helping me on that, and also with a program to test it.
Regards
Anteros

You should not worry about free memory unless your system is spending a lot of time doing pageout I/O.
Any operating system that maintains a lot of free memory is *wasting your money*. The operating system should maximize the use of memory so that you get the best performance for your money.
Mac OS X will use memory for a file system buffer cache. It will keep previously executed program code in memory just in case you quickly re-run that program, so it does not need to read it back from disk.
Many programs, especially programs that process graphic images will consume large amounts of memory. That memory may remain as file system buffer cache.
All cached memory or is available, the same as free memory, anytime the operating system need it for something else.
If you are concerned that your performance is suffering, you can run the following utility from an Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal session:
sar -g 60 100
This will report the pageout operation every minute for 100 minutes. If you have mostly zeros then you enough memory. If you see sustained pageout numbers over an extended period of time, especially if you have high numbers, then you would benefit from more memory, or running fewer high memory demanding programs at the same time.
Remember if you always have lots of free memory, then your OS is wasting your money

  • Graphic Issues with Leopard - iMac 24" White GeForce 7300 GT

    Upon installing Leopard, I've noticed several graphics issues and general lag and delayed response with the interface. I'm running a 24" iMac 2.16ghz White early 2007, 3gb of RAM, with the GeForce 7300GT card. I have Time Machine disabled, and Spotlight has fully indexed.
    When installing Leopard, I did an "Erase and Install" and have manually installed my Applications after the Leopard install. I'm using only a few applications that are all "Leopard ready" and have a relatively clean system at this point. I have also cleaned the PRAM, per the recommendations in some of the threads ive read, which didn't seem to correct the issue in this case.
    It seems that any time I run any type of video or graphical application, such as Photo Booth, World of Warcraft, iChat, etc, I get a large amount of lag and slow response with the interface. Windows respond very slowly, and the applications freeze for 15-20 seconds. Even when not engaging any applications, opening folders in the finder as well as the dock appear to stall and respond very slowly.
    Aside from these issues, Leopard has performed very well and I have had no other issues. Quicklook and coverflow all seem to respond very quickly and smoothly. My guess is that it may be driver related as it seems to be centered around items that are engaging the video card, though it is strange how some graphical effects seem to work smoothly while others are rather choppy. I have been watching the Activity Monitor and there don't appear to be any processes that are sucking up CPU, and nothing obvious that may be reducing performance.
    I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed anything similar to this on similar hardware, or possibly may know what the culprit could be. My best guess, again, is that it could be the drivers or firmware with this specific hardware that I'm using.
    Thanks for your time

    I've had the same graphics issues with my white iMac 24 (serial no starts W8638), but with the GeForce 7600 card. AppleCare got me to do all the usual stuff (reset PRAM, clean Leopard install etc) but problems continued. The usual pattern is that after a while horizontal lines appear (usually in Safari) and things deteriorate form then on until there is so much pixellation that I have to turn off and back on.
    Yesterday I ran for several hours using SMCFanControl to set the fans to max and had no problems, so my suspicion is that the additional graphics requirements of Leopard are over-heating the graphics card or logic board.
    The Apple engineer took the machine away today and said they'll probably replace the logic board and graphics card (I think they can't change one without the other in the iMac?).
    Will be a few days but I'll report back on what repairs they make and whether they solve the problem. My fear is that any changes they make will have no effect if its a design problem and the card is just not up to the job without over-heating. Though it could be the card just needs a good clean
    Has anyone else tried increasing fan speed?

  • Ram Issues with a Hp Pavilion a6357c or maybe the amd athlon 64 5000+

    I am really not sure if I am in the area-of a post like this. Please excuse my grammar and spelling"will try and use spell check"...
    I got this computer from a friend of mine.Total nightmare. Was told all it needs is a hard drive and maybe a video card..Boy was that not the issue. I first got it and plugged it-make sure it would boot to bios..Nothing computer turned on-fans and all..Nothing on the screen. To make a long story short...I found an old ps2 mouse..The mouse was defective...with that mouse plugged in-computer wouldn't even boot to bios..Fixed that issue. Got into bios and all was good. Next step..Video card-Bought a new pny 9500 GT and a TTGI 550 power supply....swaped it all out and it works great...Than found a hard drive SATA 2...everthing installed and ready to place an operating system on....
     Windows 7 64 bit--Installed great...But when it came up to the start up---Freeze--blue screen...Ok thought maybe it was the ram.....ended up taking all the old ram out and replace it with some DDR2 6300--or what ever the max was...total of 6 gb...still issue...freezing--decided to boot into safe mode---all good and ran great....checked Ram-stress test-checked every little hardware--stress test-no issues...Booted back up out of safe mode... Same issues....ok--lets just try Windows 7 32 bit.....
    Windows 7 32 bit.....Install went great-no issues....updated and all the sp's...but underload----bluescreen....played and played with it...but the blue screen were all over the place...back into safe mode and checked all the drivers--and devices....Ok lets just go back to what the system had----windows Vista....
     Again----everything boot and installed perfect...This time was a liitle more stable...updates--all the sp's all the drivers.....
    Blue screen underload......Ok maybe my ram is at fault.......
    It ended up stable and working perfect---single channel mode-2 gb in the first slot....I tried every way to put the ram in.....
    found out--ok---only stable in single channel mode...anytime I added ram--for dual channel...Fail under load....Put the 2 gb stick or a 1 gb stick any any of the other slots-by itself---perfect stable and running great...I was even able to add another 1 gb stick with the 2 gb stick---but it had to be in single channel....tried to add more in single channel and fail....3 is it and it is not all the way stable--but stable enough to run...2 gb stick by itself---perfect.........
    Did some digging---maybe it is the memory controller...But can not find any post with this issue---I keep finding people asking the quesion--and there storys match...But no answers and it seems that the just get a walk around.....
    I have narrowed it down..It has to me the intergrated memory controller on the chip....so i think...I could just purchase a new one and swap it out........But here is the issue...........
    Safe Mode will take all the ram-dual channel---single channel..anyway.......But so will linix-----Only has this issue with Windows....
    The other werid item too---My had drive say scis drive or something along that lines--Not sata.....and again-I can not find a post to explain why......
    Please understand----Stress test on Ram-cpu-motherboard--videocard----everthing--is perfect no issues...PSU is perfect---checked it out in another sytem---no issues....I am at my witts end with this thing and I have got nowhere......
    It is working great with just a 2 gb stick of ram---very fast and very responsive....But adding extra ram really bothers me...Not because--it make a differance-Just because I don't know...
    Can somebody out there school me.....I have tried everything........

    Sorry all-But i never got a reply to this situation. But I am done. I ended up running threw tons of post and tons of threads. I can tell you that when people ask a question. There is always some smart A--, telling them something that has nothing to do with the current situation. I guess alot of people out there think they know everything- and have nothing to do-but mess with the people like me when they are stumped. Anyways...I ended up running a computer check in or after bios...I think they call it burned in-HP....what ever-the last straw when you can not figure it out..Ran it with one stick---than with all the sticks..Everytime--it claimed that there was nothing wrong..But when I tried to restart it--boom blue screen..with the mulyi sticks of ram. So when I couldn't find an solution online...I stoped using the words HP a6357c.. and just typed the issue..Funny thing the issue kept poping up--and with the same motherboard or processor...and again-nobody ever came up with a solution..Most of the post claimed the issue was the power supply....ot the ram timming..But I know better..Not to mention people kept saying-buy the tool from ebay to check wattage usuage.....Bam----wattage...Did a simple check with harware monitor...my 3.5 or 3.3 rail was running at 1.78....enought to power one stick of ram---not 2...or barley enough to power a 1 gb stick and a 2 gb stick in single channel mode...Again-people were blaming--PSU"not my case".Ram Timming.."not my case".........Then I found a person with the same make and model.....Look for fat or bad capasitors...Never thought of that.....Guess what------That is what I found....No body but a thread-one thread has explained...If you have this same issue-Look at the capasitors...Maybe this is a defective motherboard--you can not find it on the site anyway-no specs nada..like it was a mistake..So if you have one just like this- I have a feeling-you will run into this issue-in one way or another..I just don't understand why both companys have no fix--or no--recall info..No answers to problems on these....now I have a big black paper weight.....sorry for my spelling and grammer-just so mad..the net was no help on this

  • Colour Management issue With Leopard and PS CS3

    Hi Everyone,
    Since I have installed Leopard I am having colour management issues with Photoshop CS3 and my Canon i9950 printer.
    My screen is calibrated with a Spyder and I used to ask Photoshop (in 10.4.11) to manage colour when printing and used the Spyder profile. Everything came out as I saw it on screen.
    Now in leopard when I do the same thing everything comes out too yellow on the print. If I ask Photoshop to let the printer manage the colour it is too red. If I use the default colour management (photoshop managing the colour and it choosing the colour space it is better, but still too yellow).
    Photoshop gives the hint to turn off colour management in the printer but there is no option for this and it also said the same thing before of course (when it worked in 10.4.11).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    You need to use the correct printer profile for the paper you're using. If the printer didn't come with any pre-built profiles, check Canon's web site to see if they have any profiles available for your printer that you can download.
    Printer profiles are very specific. You can't take take a profile for glossy Epson paper and expect it to work very well for Canon glossy paper.

    I'm having exactly the same problem, only my printer is a Canon Pixma iX4000. The colour is all bleached out, it looks exactly like when you've accidentally printed an RGB file on a CMYK printer, and at first I thought that was what I had done, but it isn't. This is very frustrating, I've spent all day going through the manuals, recalibrating etc, but no luck. This is a brand new Mac Pro and printer, but if its not going to print what I see on screen it's just expensive junk.
    I wasn't sure if the problem was Leopard or the printer or CS3...

  • Big issues with Leopard and writing to NAS units or Windows servers

    Quick run down of the issues
    1st client has a number of G5's all running 10.5.2
    NAS units running embedded Windows SBS 2003 or Windows Storage .
    All shares have worked fine before the macs were upgraded to Leopard.
    Now the macs can see the shares, mount and write to the folders. But immediately afterwards all inherited permissions are stripped from the folders/files and only the owner of the file/folder can access them. All other mac users have no access. It seems that Leopard is ignoring the inherited permissions of the share and just applying its own.
    2nd Client
    Number of imacs running 10.5.2. Can see the mac shares on the server running Windows SBS 2003 fine. The minute any files are copied you get the progress of the items being copied, seems to appear on the server and then just hangs.
    In most circumstances the copying crashes the whole server.
    Have tried binding the imacs to AD, but no joy. SMB sharing (with Appletalk turned off) dosent help either.
    Somewhere there seems to be some gremlins with AFP and windows shares
    Anyone have similar issues or bright ideas ?

    Alright I'm running into the same issue with my iMac 10.5.2 connecting to windows server 2003 r2. I'm about to go nuts, I can log on to the server, open files manipulate them and sometimes I'm able to save that file back to server but I'm unable to transfer almost anything new to the server, (I can create new folders though). When you try to transfer something to the server I get "progress of the items being copied, seems to appear on the server"... then it hangs, a corrupt file is left on the server. If you try and open that file I get an error message on my mac, "OS X is currently using this file" on a pc it will say the file is corrupt. I'm forced to carry my psd files on a flash drive and walk to coworkers machines to upload it to the server... (haven't had time to set up parallels). I'm the only mac in the office and I'm seeing why I've been so spoiled at past jobs where its 100% macs.

  • HELP: Mail issues with Leopard

    I have been having an issue with Mail since I upgraded to Leopard. I am getting the following message when I wake my Mac from sleep:
    There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account “[email protected]” or try again. The server error encountered was: The server “mail.mac.com” cannot be contacted on port 143.
    Does anyone know why this might be happening? Mail seems to work fine otherwise...

    I had update problems with my PowerBook G4 as well. In my case the update stalled at Writing Package Receipt-it was installing 4 packages so I am not sure which one failed-but about this Mac showed 10.5.2 version-however the receipts were not anywhere -either in Software Updates/Installed Updates or in Library/Receipts/boms or in Console Logs-therefore, I concluded that the Update was only partial. I was unable to update it to completion using the independently downloaded Combo updates. So........., I restarted with the install DVD and did an Archive and Install (it reverted back to 10.5), then ran Software Update. It installed 7 items some of them relating to iTunes, iWork, iLife, QuickTime etc, including the combo 10.5.2 updater. It took an hour or two but everything finally installed. After that I ran Software Update again and it installed the Graphic Update. Now everything is fine except Permissions Verify/Repair takes quite long.

  • G5 fan issues with Leopard

    I've had my G5 for many years, and despite the many complaints by others about unusual fan activity, I've not had one issue until I installed Leopard. Now, for the first time, the fan is changing speed frequently (every few minutes). It is not like a jet taking off, but it gasps every once in a while. Is this an improvement with Leopard, something I can adjust, or is there a problem with Leopard?
    jmf

    Hi Jack
    Have you tried [resetting the SMU|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1436]?
    Not sure if resetting the PRAM/NVRAM is relevant. I have seen posts that that can help when the fans are problematic but from what I've read at Apple Support there seems to be little stored in there which controls the fans (for instance [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US] and [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1242]). But I guess it never hurts to try.
    You can also try one of several fan control utilities out there, such as [smcFanControl2|http://homepage.mac.com/holtmann/eidac/software/smcfancontrol2/ index.html].

  • Disk Utilities/Permissions Issues with Leopard

    What is wrong with Leopard's permissions? I have had numerous permissions issues, and had to reformat my two disk drives and Archive & Install Leopard on my startup disk after a Tiger to Leopard Upgrade.
    Now when I run Disk Utilities and Repair Permissions (which I do routinely), what used to take a minute or two in Tiger now takes a half hour (or longer) in Leopard?
    I ran Disk Utilities on my MacPro and it has taken nearly 25 minutes and is still going. My MacBook Pro is estimating the time at 1-minute remaining (where it started), and it has also been going for 25 minutes plus. I would like to go to bed, and don't want to leave my MBP running over night if I don't have to.
    This is a major issue and one which Apple needs to address immediately. I trust I am not the only User having this issue, is this the case?

    No your not the only one. It's been reported throughout the discussions. Appears that some of the errors reported in disk utility will not effect performance. Still, I expect that something is being observed and worked on as an update..

  • My visit to the Genius Bar regarding video issues with Leopard

    Having video hang up issues with imove 08 and viewing videos on my webgallery. We opened a video on my web gallery on 3 computers with Leopard and two computers with Tiger at the Genius Bar. The Tiger machines allowed immediate playback where the Leopards took 3-5 minutes to view. Crazy!
    Also noticing fickering with my footage in imovie 08 which I never had with Tiger. Plus when I delete a clip in my project, my workspace goes completely black and I must go into another project open it, then back to the first project and it reappears....Very frustrating.

    DVD Drive is dead. Hopefully was the issue.
    Thanks for all the input

  • 3rd party app Installation issues with Leopard

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro with Leopard installed. I have been trying to install (from original media) a number of applications (such as Office:mac 2004) that install and run well on my old G4 running Tiger. On Leopard the installer won't even open the package. I have checked permissions, am in an admin account, etc but nothing seems out of place. I also recognize that these installation packages are pre-Leopard but I can't imagine all my software is now obsolete. Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Yes I have checked selected applications that I am having issues with. Office:mac 2004 is being used by others on Leopard and Intel based platforms. Not sure if 100% of these users migrated the installation from a prior machine or were upgrading the OS so already had it installed but that is highly unlikely. A demo copy of this even came with my machine. Per advice from other discussion groups this was completely removed prior to trying to install my bought copy of the software. I had believed that Rosetta would allow most (all) apps that ran on a PowerPC under Tiger to work. Since I can't get the installer to even run, I can't tell if the app itself will work.
    BTW, I am about to go back and reinstall Leopard to see if that solves the problem.

  • Network issues with Leopard fresh install

    I have an iBook that I was running Leopard on with no issues yesterday. It is no longer my main computer, so I wanted to wipe everything and start from scratch with a fresh install of Leopard. The install went smoothly. I did an Erase & Install setup from a Leopard Upgrade disc (but already had Leopard on my system so upgrade verified OK). When I booted up for the first time, it appeared everything was working normally.
    I went online, downloaded a couple pieces of software I frequently use, and then started to set things up. This is when I ran into issues. I could browse the web without a problem. I could set up email with POP access, but not IMAP. AIM with Adium connects just fine. Tweetie won't connect. Dropbox won't connect. It's like some ports are being blocked, but others aren't, and I can't figure out why.
    I have tried/verified:
    OSX firewall is off
    Restarted router/cable several times
    iBook is in router's DMZ- outside of router firewall
    Repaired permissions
    Reset PRAM
    Anyone have any suggestions or other troubleshooting ideas?

    Here are the steps to selling*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/selling.html
    Mac Pros that shipped with Leopard should install from the Mac Pro labelled discs. Those that came with pre-Leopard, you should still include the Mac Pro discs, though if you desire to install Leopard on them, you should also include the Leopard discs that are retail. Leopard retail looks like * and do not say Upgrade, DropIn, or OEM.

    So I ran the test : stop my external drives connected to the FW Sonnet card, and there it was ! no more task in red... I know many of my friends had same issues with same G5 (2, 2.2 ,2.7) and especially, using video apps like final cut with FW cameras and external drives. I suspect de dual kext to be a part of the problem here, because on other Macs, nothing happens like this.
    Can I hope for some help or can we expect driver update to get started at work with Leopard soon ?
    Thx for answers

  • Thunderbird issues with Leopard

    I'm using a Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 IMAP account with Leopard, but cannot access attachments larger than about 200K. When I try to do so, the opening or saving stops midway through, and then Thunderbird becomes inoperable, forcing me to restart the app.
    Apple Mail works okay, but I'd rather not move everything to it if I can help it. BTW, POP 3 accounts don't work for me with either with Thunderbird or Apple Mail, but appear to work for those running Tiger in our office.
    Anyone else experiencing similar issues, especially with Thunderbird IMAP and Leopard? Any ideas on how to address this?
    Thanks!

    For me also, Thunderbird just won't send mail, using Leopard. Asks for password twice despite using manager, and then advises unable to connect.
    Had the same problem with MNail, however a Repair Permissions whilst booted from the install disk fixed Mail, not Thunderbird drat.
