Safari 6 leaking memory help

I just got the 15inch macbook pro with retina display and upgraded the ram to 16gb.
I watched a few(4-5) hd video on youtube and around the 3 video, I started to feel that the video wasn't playing smoothly.
It got worse when viewing the 4 and 5 videos.
Then I checked activity monitor and found that safari was using 13gb of my ram!
btw the video was only 720p and around 3mins each...
I quit safari and everything run smoothly again.
Is there a way to fix this?
I don't wanna use firefox cuz it doesn't support retina display yet and i hate chrome!

In my Macbook Pro 4GB RAM recently note memory leak when I opened Safari even with 1 or two windows open without refresh the web content.
In Activity monitor could see consume Web Content the Safari Spend more the 2 GB RAM (Memory Real become Memory Inactive)
Solution: Disable All Extensions and probe one to one. Finding that Fastesttube Extension was responsible.

JFileChooser leaks memory - HELP

Hi all,
I am having difficulty with this. I am using Borland Optimizit. I can see two instances of my object and two instances of JFileChooser.
See below method: If I browse there is no leak. If I enter the if block it leaks.
public final void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
// get the event source
Object source = evt.getSource();
// if the event source is the browse button
if(source == browseButton)
// if the file chooser has not been instantiated
if(fileChooser == null)
fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
// allow the user to browse the directories
fileChooser.setCurrentDirectory(new File(Const.DEFAULT_DIRECTORY));
int result = fileChooser.showOpenDialog(this);
// if the user selected a file
if(result == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
     // The try block is necessary because the showOpenDialog method
     // returns APPROVE_OPTION if the user clicks open without
     // selecting a file. This will cause the
     // JFileChooser.getSelectedFile method to throw a
     // NullPointerException.
     try
     // set the text in the file name text field to the name of
// the file selected
     String f = fileChooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath();
     fileTextField.setText(f);
     catch(NullPointerException e)
     // Do nothing. The file name text field will be left
     // unchanged.
}// end actionPerformed()

Flash is killing Safari, which is leaking memory ...

I just saw in Activity Monitor that the Flash plugin is using 147% of the CPU, with one Flash movie playing in one of 12 open Tabs
And Safari seems to leak memory as well, after a day or two it easily can use up to 3GB(!) of RAM.
I am now quitting Safari routinely every 2 to 3 hours to get the CPU usage down and free RAM for other stuff, but I don't think this method makes for a great user experience.

Hi,
Use ClickToFlash... that way you have control of Flash content.

Safari 5 still leaking memory

I was hoping against hope that Safari 5.01 would address the memory leak that seems to have come back with version 5.0. If I leave Safari running and some of the pages have Flash webparts, Safari ***** up memory and in no time close to 2 GB or more get consumed. Maybe it's Adobe playing a joke on Apple because of Jobs hostility to Flash, but it's getting annoying having to constantly quit Safari, relaunch it, and then have it restore the last set of accessed pages. The issue seemed to have been resolved in the later versions of 4.x (or at least it seemed so to me).
Anyone else experiencing a similar problem? Any resolution(s)?

I have had this same problem for a number of months, maybe more than a year, and I agree that Safari Stand is at least one major culprit. I just disabled Stand and when I launch Safari and then close all the windows, I no longer get the "World Leaks" message that I had been getting. (This error message is enabled in the Debug menu for those who have added that menu.)
I also ran some tests. I opened about 15 tabs and Safai memory only grew to about 300 MB. When I close Safari, independent of how many tabs are open, I appear to lose about 15 MB of free memory each time so there seems to still be a memory leak, but now it is very small. I will keep watching for a few days because typically I have had to reboot every couple of days or so when my invisible swap files grew above 1 or 2 GB and the beach ball was ever so pervasive.
For those who switched to 64 bits and back to 32, the problem may have been some other add-on because Safari Stand supports both 32 and 64 and shouldn't have been affected.

Imapd service "Leak Memory"

I already have Java Communications Suite 6 Working , but, I have a Leak Memory problems with imapd process.
I have the server with 30 imapd process, 30 mshttpd process, and 30 pop process running to balance the load of the users.
All work fine(the CPU is 100% idle, the RAM is 80% available=6GB) when I access via browser(Chrome,Firefox), too when I access it with the traditional clients IMAP (Outlook, ThunderBird,etc).
The problem is that if one user want to copy(not just view) locally all your emails to your laptops/pc, the imapd process eat more than 3GB(instead of 80MB) of RAM and the system is getting slower.
If the user cancel this process(copy via IMAP all your emails) the process dont freedom doesn't release the memory and the system getting slower.
Actually my solution is:
# kill -9 <PID_imapd>
Some times when I kill the process the problem going to other imapd process, so in this case the solution is:
/opt/sun/comms/messaging/sbin/stop-msg
/opt/sun/comms/messaging/sbin/start-msg
I think that this problem is a bug but I dont know what is the patch.
May you help me? Any idea?
My system is:
A X2100 with one socket AMD Opteron 2600Mhz, 8GB RAM, 2 x disks 750GB in mirror with Solaris Volume Manager, Soalris 10 HW 10/08.
Thanks.

Jorth, maybe we are not well explained,

The rest of the imapd process(29) in this moment just load 40-50MB(when those are free).
If we kill the process 16673 the user connect to the next imapd process and the problem persist whit the same patology: eat memory and CPU, and slow the system.
So, we think that is not normal and maybe we need patch the system to solve the problem.
We will to test the 64Bit version in this moment and we will post the results.

Does ReportDocument leak memory?

Using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument XI R2. w3wp.exe memory use raises while a report is generated (which is expected), yet it does not seem to be ever released after. If you keep generating same report again and again, IIS eventually runs out of memory. A report does not call any external DLLs or COM objects. Calling repDoc.Dispose() does not seem to help. Please help. 

Methods:
Dispose()
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers()
GC.Collect()
Details:
I created a C# application that connects to BOXI.
It does not specifically use the ReportDocument object, but was also encountering serious memory issues.
I was also using the Dipose method to mark objects for garbage collection.
.Net garbage collection happens automatically (at some time or another), but you can force it using GC.Collect(). I tried this, but was still leaking memory.
Until I found GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers(), which causes the garbage collector to wait until all disposed objects have completely finished their destructors. I think this made the difference with BOXI objects, because they are nested.
After I was using all three methods, I had no more memory issues. I realize this information may be out of date, but I posted it for future seekers.

How to avoid the case of leaks memory in Object Oriented Programming

Hi, Everyone, I am writing a simple web-baed application for JSP and Servlet, I pass all data from JSP to Servlet, It is due to the number of row of record are variable, so I should write a Java Instance class to stored to specific data in a Java Object, and then stored those object in a arraylist In the Servlet class, and then pass the arraylist in to a session, to pass the session from the servlet to another JSP......
But some thing I am worried about is that if the no of row of record user input is large, then the number of object stored in the arraylist will also large. I am worried it will serious leaks memoary in my server. Because my server always occurs "Out Of Memoary Exception" in Tomcat, So If I use the above method. I affarid the memory will be further leaking in my server. So What can I do? Is it having any better method to prevent memory leaking when using Object Oriented Programming(Except using Hibernate)?
Can Anyone be help me?
Thank you very much for All, THX

Because many people say that the large amount of
using Object will lead to "memory leak", I am worried
about the size of object I use is too large and then
it will construct "memory leak". No it will not! You get a 'memory leak' by holding references to objects you no longer require.
>
The detail of my case is that:
In my web application, there is a session variable
pass through from one servlet to another jsp/servlet.You should only place small amounts of data in the session. If you need forward from a Servlet to a JSP (or JSP to Servlet) then you should place the data object in the request (using the setAttribute() method), not in the session. In this way, when the session is re-claimed so will be the data object.
And this session variable is stored a Instance Object
(which is a class write by me) with the following
issue:
1) This instance object having "has-a relationship"
with another four instance object (all are the
classes write by me)
2) This instance object having "has relationship"
with a arraylist, this arraylist is stored about 4-5
instance object(all are the classes write by me) .
If this object having the above issue, Will this
object construct a "leaks memory" when this object
stored in the session and pass through servlet to
another jsp/servlet?

On my MacBook with Lion Safari does start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library did not help. Where can I find and remove all components (LastSession ...)?

How can I reset Safari with all components? On my MacBook with Lion, Safari does not start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library does not help. Where can I find and remove all components as LastSession and TopSites?

The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

From Safari's menu bar top of your screen click View / Customize Toolbar.
Just drag up the default bar or as individual objects.

Leak memory in xerces DomParser

Hey,
I have " leak memory " in my Java application (Stand alone).
I suspect that this leak caused by xerces DomParser.
i reached to this conculsion after using in Jprobe as a memory debuger.
Does any one has a similar problem?
Thank you.
code:
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse(new InputSource(new FileInputStream(schemaFile)));

Hey, which Version of Xerces do you use?

Why does Firefox 4 (4.0.1 specifically) leak memory?

'''Answer:''' I figured it out.
History lesson first. Ever since the 4.0.1 update, Firefox 4 has been crashing A LOT. It's gotten so bad that FF4.0.1 will eat memory with no end in sight and eventually Windows (Win 7 64-bit) forcefully close the program due to an out of memory error.
I have 8 GB of RAM installed. And, it would crash once it exceeds 1.5 GB of RAM used by Firefox 4. I've seen Firefox 4 go up to 1.85 GB of RAM in Task Manager. This is with 20 tabs open.
With the add-on Leak-Monitor, I've narrowed down the issue. Having only Leak-Monitor as the extension installed, all pop-ups point to how '''poorly Firefox 4 handles Javascript'''!
MSNBC Leak Monitor issue:
[http://www.octoberasian.com/tech/text/FF4-Leak-Monitor_MSNBC.txt Leak Monitor log from MSNBC.com]
I've gotten more pop-ups from even support.mozilla.com because of the Javascript on this website.
Firefox 4.0.1 is leaking memory from every Javascript on every website I load. It's leaking memory as we speak with only this page loaded (one tab).
FIX IT! Firefox 4 is poorly handling Javascript, especially when multiple tabs are opened.

octoberasian: I, too, am experiencing this phenomenon. I shut my system down, pulled the EIC cable, held down the power button - then replugged and rebooted. I closed down every unneeded application that I have set to auto-start. Finally, I opened a single Firefox 4.0.1 window and let it sit. It began with consuming 43 Mb of memory. By afternoon - about 5 hours later - it was up to 203 Mb. There is definitely something very wrong with this version. It does the same on all the machines we have, sans our server. We don't use the server for anything but being a server & it has some version of Firefox 3 on it anyway. No Java Scripts were running, nor were any Adobe ARM or any plugins. I noticed when plugins run - the memory leakage goes into overdrive. Hey, I'm just sayin'...

Skype 6.4 continues to leak memory at an astonishing rate? Hard crashes ALL my Macs

Last version of Skype 6.3 leaked memory like a river full of rapids. And once it gobbled up 1.5gigs or so of memory, it HARD crashed my iMac requiring a hard reboot. It only takes about 30 minutes for skype to do this. My iMac (2012 Core i7 3.4ghz 32 gigs RAM) is at Mac OSX 10.7.5 and it is repeatable every time. I have to set timers to remind me to restart Skype every 30 minutes.
We thought 6.4 would fix the issue but no luck doing exact same thing. My colleague is across the country on an iMac with 10.7.5 same issues. Repeatable on my Macbook Pro running 10.8. If he let's it run, he gets the black screen of death and have to hard restart. Just like me.
This issue has been around for several weeks and is making skype unusuable for us and we rely on it heavily. Note we are PAYING customers. to Skype.
This ONLY happens if we use the video feature. Submitted to Skype, wondering if anyone else having issue?

DS 5.1sp2 SLAPI plugins leak memory

I am running DS 5.1sp2, on Solaris 9/SPARC, and have been encountering problems with the ns-slapd process leaking memory when using SLAPI plugins.
We have written our own bind pre-operation plugin function which, when enabled, causes ns-slapd to leak memory at a pretty rapid rate. I have a simple test where I perform a simple ldapsearch in an endless loop. The ns-slapd process starts off with a VSS of ~617MB (we have a fair amount of cache enabled) ; after a few minutes of my test, the VSS grows by several MB. With the plugin disabled, I can run the same test for hours with no growth in the VSS of ns-slapd.
I have also performed this test with my plugin disabled, and the "testbind" plugin function (the one provided in <server root></server>/plugins/slapd/slapi/examples/testbind.c) enabled. I see even more rapid memory leakage than with my plugin.
Are there known issues with SLAPI memory management? Is there anything I can do other than restarting ns-slapd on a regular basis (in production, this memory leak causes VSS growth of several hundred MB in the course of a few days).

I think if you want to modify the result before it is returned, your plugin needs to be invoked post-op as well. Your plugin can be both at the same time, just make sure your init function knows what to do when called a second time.
Moreover, without looking at the stack trace, it is hard to make any progress. Do you still have the core file? Can you paste the pstack and pflags output ?
# Run "file" on the core to see if its a 32 or 64 bit core
# cd /path/to/ns-slapd
# pstack <corefile>
# pflags corefile
Alternatively, see if you can reproduce the problem with a small plugin. Smaller the better. I'll give it a go.

GetOracleDecimal seems to leak memory?

Hello, I am using the C# statement below to retrieve a decimal value from an OracleDataReader, adjust the precision, then assign it to a .NET decimal type:
decimal volume = (decimal)OracleDecimal.SetPrecision(reader.GetOracleDecimal(5), 28);
Over time, the service that hosts this method leaks memory. After some investigation, I found that "Oracle.DataAccess.Types.OpoDecCtx" types were collecting in the finalize queue. Any ideas on how to resolve this? I can't explicitly Dispose() an OracleDecimal...
I'm using ODP.NET version 2.102.2.20.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I am using .NET 2.0 SP2. I upgraded the ODP.NET client to 2.111.7.20 but am still seeing leakage of the OracleDecimal structs.
Here's a snippet of output from WinDbg:
Ready for finalization 32874 objects (0b4de540->0b4fe6e8)
Statistics:
MT Count TotalSize Class Name
00fb8cec 32816 656320 Oracle.DataAccess.Types.OpoDecCtx
With each pass of the service the Count and TotalSize grow in increments equal to the number of rows I'm querying...
Just for laughs I changed the GetOracleDecimal statement to GetDecimal and the memory issue went away (because I'm no longer creating OracleDecimals). But I need to use the higher precision type to prevent overflows..
Thanks again..
