Ram still being used after quitting

hi, I know Mavericks handles Ram in a more effective way but why is it that I have programmes still running in the activity Monitor even though I have quit them?

If an applications appears in the Activity Monitor then it is still running. This would indicate one of two things: 1) the program isn't responding. Usually programs that have stopped responding will have a message next to their name indicating that and/or appear in red text. 2) You closed all the windows of the program which, in Windows, would quit the application. But this is not typical Mac behavior. To quit a program on the Mac you must select Quit from the Application menu or use command Q.

I have just purchased the iPhone 5s and my previous phone was backed up on iCloud. However when I restored this on my new phone my photos are still being restored after 4 days. Shows the amount there but no pictures?

I have just purchased the iPhone 5s and my previous phone was backed up on iCloud. However when I restored this on my new phone my photos are still being restored after 4 days. Shows the amount there but no pictures? Is there anything I can do to get them back as my other phone has now been cleared. On my iCloud storage it still shows that my previous phone had all the info still?? I'm confused!

Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud. There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
See:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
Or, you can find other apps in the app store that send camera roll photos to a service like Dropbox.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

Diagnostic and usage still being sent after shutting it off
Hi,
- SubmitDiagInfo does run periodically to clean up any diagnostic and usage info created a month ago and is no longer needed.
- Since you have set no reporting, SubmitDiagInfo will not collect and send to Apple diagnostic info. not yet sent.

Error: The logical component X is still being used

Hi,
In Transaction SMSY, i want to delete a Logical Component. So, pre-condition is to check whether it is mapped to any Projects/Solutions. By right-clicking - Where used list , i have seen that it is mapped to a Project. So, in transaction SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN under tab System Landscape, i tried to delete the Logical Component but receiving the error message - The logical component X is still being used.
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Mohan.

Hello Mohan,
You can also solve this by using the "Replace Logical Component" button in the system landscape within SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN.
Thus you can replace all the occurances of the Z_ logical component by e.g. an existing standard SAP logical component.
Afterwards you will be able to delete your Z_ logical component in SMSY (or in LMDB from 7.1 SP9 on).
Best regards,
Peter

Theft of phone and skype account still being used!...

Hi.
My wifes phone was stolen on th 19th of April during a camping trip.
We reported the theft to the police.
I have gone onto skype today, and the account is still being used.
My wife said the only two places skype is installed is on her stolen phone and on her laptop, which isn't on at the moment as she is at work!!
So whoever stole the phone is using the skype account right now!!!
I need to find out the IP addresses that have been logged against the user [Redacted for privacy] since the 19th of April.
I have tried to email support, but the contact form keeps giving an error, so please someone respond as soon as possible so I can relay info to the police please!!
Kind regards,
Glenn.

Hi, Glenn, and welcome to the Community,
These two commands, when entered into a chat window, may prove helpful:
/remotelogout
Sign out all other instances except the current one. This will also stop push notifications on all other instances.
/showplaces
Lists other instances where this Skype name is currently signed in.
Important: Always make sure you are using the latest version of Skype. Some of these commands may not be supported in older versions.
Here is a link to the original FAQ article:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10042/what-are-chat-commands-and-roles?
If your wife still has access to her account, she should consider signing on to her account details and removing any saved payment methods on file.
Skype does not release IP addresses except upon request from law enforcement agencies, who can file to receive this information via official channels.
Regards,
Elaine

Is code still being used

We have a large database, with many stored procedures, packages, functions and views that have built up over such a long time that we no longer know which code is still being used.
Is there any way of finding out if a procedure/package/view/function has recently been executed.
The only way I could think of was to take away the privileges and see who shouts... but that's probably not the best idea.

Find objects, that don't have other objects dependant on themDepending on how the database is used, this may or may not prove anything. Procedures that are called from SQL*Plus sessions or DBMS_JOBS wouldn't show up. Searching the text of your front-end application may be a chore as well.
A similar caveat apllies to trawling the cache. You'd want to make sure you didn't drop procedures that are run once a month or once a quarter or once a year.
In the absence of adequate documentation the only sound approach is to keep everything. Punishing your users - by removing their rights - for the incompetence of the support team is so wrong.
Why do you want to get id of somne procedures? They are not like tables, they don't take up much space. Procedures that are not run don't have reported bugs, so they don't generate much additional work. The only issue I can see is when you have to do global work e.g. upgrading the database or applying some generic fix. That is additional work, I agree, but that's the price you have to pay for not having properly documented applications.
We all do this (or rather don't do this) and we all end up having to do work we suspect is unnecessary but can't prove that's the case. Do we learn? Heck, no.
Good luck, APC

Hello steveod2
The main thing to do is to sign out all services on your iPhone, like iCloud, iTunes & App Store, iMessage and FaceTIme. Check out the article below for more information.

Almost all RAM constantly being used

about 3.5gb of RAM is constantly being used. It came stock with 4gb. It was running very slow after Lion install, beach ball was almost always constantly spinning so I had to upgrade to 8gb. I'm not very computer literate, but what could be using all this ram and is that normal?

Does this help??

Is Cineform still being used?

Given the capabilities of CS6, are people still feeling the need to use Cineform as opposed to editing natively?
My normal workflow has always usually consisted of first encoding my files (P2 and Red) into the Cineform codec and then editing, but it's a step I'd love to drop if I could.
I could also test out native editing, but I'm just wondering what the community is doing. Thanks.

I've never used Cineform for P2.* P2 is handled very well, natively, all the way back to CS5 (or was it CS4?).
I use Cineform (GoPro Studio) for two things:
First, and most crucial, is preparing any acquisition format that uses 32-bit quicktime. Using Cineform gets me around the 4GB RAM limitation of using the 32-bit process. Compared to their 32-bit Quicktime originals, Cineform AVIs edit like butter.
I also use Cineform to prepare AVCHD files from consumer/prosumer camcorders, unless I'm in a crunch and can't afford hours of transcoding just to start editing. I believe I take a small quality hit when I don't convert. Maybe it's only psychological.
* Prior to CS4, I was using Sony Vegas and a helper application (Raylight?) to edit P2.

Reintalled OS, but disk space is still being used from old files?

I tried reinstalling the OS after my macbook would freeze when i tried to log in. I first tried to archive and install and then it said it couldn't complete that.I then put in the 2nd OS disc and it created a new user profile and my computer is working fine. The only thing is that a few alias are still being picked up from the old users and there is only 60 GB of space left on the hard drive. None of the information on the old user files is totally important so I can do without it, but I would like all my hard drive space back

if you don't need the old user go to system preferences->accounts and delete the old user. also, check to see if you have a Previous System,s folder at the top level of the hard drive. delete that too and empty trash.

Inactive RAM not being used/freed

As I type this, my other computer has 590mb of inactive RAM, with 2mb of page outs and 11mb of page ins. Shouldn't the almost 600mb of inactive ram I have start being used instead of page swapping so much?

About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

Why is WPA2 still being used??

This a message I wrote recently in a forum that brought up my idea from a couple of years and every year I see new products/WIFI being released, but not changes so here it is again....and hopefully someone who works with the WIFI alliance can bring this to the table.
I think WPA 3 or 4 needs to come out...I have written on this in different areas and attempted to contact the Wifi Alliance (Austin Texas) with no luck because I can't afford a $15,000 membership... Also linked a stack exchange post I made talking about the SIMPLE change/additions and the post was deleted....SO here it goes
Current PSK formula is
DK = PBKDF2(HMAC−SHA1, passphrase, ssid, 4096, 256)
What this means is it uses HMAC-SHA1 with your passphrase/ssid, 4096 iterations, and produces a 256 bit key
So for the past 10+ years people have been able to create databases/rainbow tables, etc because your only solving for 1 piece of the formula.
First thing that needs to change is the number of iterations, 10+ years ago hardware could only bruteforce 100-300 passwords a second. The number of iterations needs to be increased in order to bring that change back in effect. Currently with GPU's this number reaches the 10's of thousands (actually more).
The next thing would be to change the salt to include the mac of the ***router or client/both so that each router brute forced would require starting from scratch
DK = PBKDF2(HMAC−SHA1, passphrase, ssid + Router mac***, 4096000, 256) *iterations are 100 times current..not sure if hardware can take this, again it would have to be tested, the number shown is just for illustration purposes.
Next we need to take the HUMAN element out of the Equation.
1) a password of 12 or more needs to be implemented
2) if not already present in the password entered, the router would then GIVE the user a couple of permutations that include at least TWO upper/TWO lower/TWO special characters/TWO numbers and make them choose one. In other words the router would not allow anything less than a more "sophisticated" password.
Another option would be that after the first formula is used and the client connects successfully the FIRST TIME.... the router then "remembers" that mac address and now the formula changes to
DK = PBKDF2(HMAC−SHA1, passphrase, ssid + Router Mac, RND, 256)
Where RND is a random number generated by the router 6-8 digits long for the iterations. Unless a "Hacker" just happened to catch the first handshake and then ran through the set standard 500,000 iteration formula and happened to find the password (being able to decrypt the aes256 exchange of RND), from that point on the formula would be different. This could be the same for the router, or even more secure, for each client connected. So the router would keep a table of Client macs and RND so when the client says "HELLO I want to connect" it would be done using the RND value/formula. If someone was to find how the RND value was saved on the client (physical access to the client) then it would be different for each client. After X many days/X many hours this could be re-set/established again using the first formula and AES256 as an option.
So this is just some Ideas, with todays technology/hardware it shouldn't be that hard to do. WPA2 is old and getting easier to crack. Many wordlists have been created that easily go up to 10 if not more... "hackers" have been generating wordlists for YEARS. Making the first formula iterations high enough to slow down the brute force attack, and then making the hacker start from scratch with the combination of SSID + Router Mac, PLUS add the fact that after the client is first set up/connected to that router making the number of iterations RND (6-8+ digits)........this just makes it VERY VERY VERY difficult for a wardriver to accomplish finding the password.
One last thing to add would be to encrypt the DEAUTH packets.. Currently a "wardriver" can deauth the client and when the connection is regained it captures the 4 way handshake...prevent this and again it would be a little more difficult to capture that handshake. Also even if it is captured and its not the FIRST time... it would be a RND value so the "wardriver" wouldn't know where to start, but from scratch. This time with every combination of a 12 character min password, and for each RND 6-8* digit of iterations...
Honestly with something like this implemented (which isn't too far fetched, especially the simple formula change adding router mac***), and possibly the Random Iterations, wardriving would almost become worthless. Currently a wardriver knows the formula and nothing changes so there is SOME hope that the user used a really easy password, but with the option above even trying the correct password wouldn't work (unless was the first time or a re-authentication time). Even still it would be with a new formula that uses 12 min password/more iterations.
Hopefully I don't get trashed on this post, all criticisms/ideas/opinions are open.

thank you for your reply..
Hopefully it will change... back when this idea was originally thought of (when attempting to vb.net a PSK just for fun), I took into account costs...thats why the changes are pretty simple depending on hardware. I remember when WPA, WPA 2 first came out it, it was just the cost of a router/new devices (back then lots of money, now routers/hardware is less expensive), depending on the current hardware a simple coding could just be updated (firmware)...example the new WIFI Passport system could be implemented on older hardware once tested/certified...at least according to WiFi alliance.
The other reason for the change again is the 10+ years of using the same system, i understand it "secure" but with all the computer breaches/security breaches this is just one method to prevent it. I would definitely upgrade if a newer secure encryption came out...however this really isn't a new encryption, same scheme, basically same formula with a different implementation, which is why I think a simple upgrade would be great...
so a real world example of the implementation..
Client says "Hello"
Router uses DK1 = PBKDF2(HMAC−SHA1, passphrase, ssid + Router Mac, 24576, 256) to encrypt a random number between 15000-30000 and uses it to send its message AES(16745 & message authentication, DK1).
Client uses DK1 to reverse it to get 16745/message authentication and now uses DK2 = PBKDF2(HMAC−SHA1, passphrase, ssid + Router Mac, 16745, 256) to AES(original message, DK2) in order to show the router that I have the original key/and have recived the new iterations.
The router now stores 16745 and the client stores 16745 from that point on when wanting to communicate with that mac address. makes it totally random except the first formula.
anyway just a concept.. thanks for your reply again.
