Safari uses all ram

A mid 2011 iMac, 8 GB of RAM. If Safari is opened, it eventually consumes all RAM available and exhausts app memory. I have completely wiped and reloaded, Tried a variety of OS versions, now 10.10, and no luck. I'm pasting an Etre report for reference. I did follow one support tip to kill off Safari WebDav as that was going crazy as well. Any help appreciated.

I Thought that ram memory cycling from 12 to 0 gigs or so was and is a problem in and of itself. As you've explained and demonstrated it's not. But this scenario that is now playing out has never happened since I've had this Mac Mini. Again many thanks.
SO if I may ask one other question separate from the above.
In updating to Yosemite would you recommend a clean install or just upgrading? I've not done a clean install since purchasing the Mini but I was thinking since I'm having issues with the system hanging and spinning icons perhaps performing a wipe is warranted. If so, I understand I can not just format and download Yosemite but I must reinstall Snow Leopard then update to Yosemite. Is this correct? Since I've upgraded the ram from 4 gigs to 8 and earlier this year to 16 gigs, will Snow Leopard recognize 16 gigs of ram?
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Photoshop Using All RAM And Making 15gb TEMP Files-HELP!?

Hey Guys,
Having a massive issue with Photoshop CC right now and need help asap!
I was recently working a on a really big PSB file (about 6gb or so) I finished the job, saved it, sent it to client, all went nicely. However now when I open Photoshop for whatever reason it instantly uses all of my RAM, and creates a huge 15gb RandomPrice TEMP file on my SSD scratch disk (as shown in the screenshot, excuse the crude snipping tool skills.) I have tried deleting the TEMP file, restarting my PC and opening PS again but it just starts making the file again, it has also drastically slowed down the time it takes to open PS which used to be about 2 seconds, and is now approximately 20 seconds. I'm pretty well clueless what to do here so throw some suggestion my way guys! EDIT: This temp file always reverts to the exact same size after deleting it, right down to the KB. I can sit in explorer refreshing it, watching the size of the temp file going up, and as soon as it reaches 15,276,080KB Photoshop opens up correctly.
Cheers,
Tom

The rule of thumb I follow to figure out scratch space says to figure on 50 to 100 times the size of your largest file ever multiplied by the number of files you have open. I have seen the scratch file exceed 800 GB once, an admittedly rare occurrence, but it often exceeds 200 GB when stitching large panoramas and the like.
As an example—and stressing that I'm aware that others have even more scratch space than I do—I keep two dedicated, physically separate hard drives as my primary and secondary Photoshop scratch disks and a lot of GB free on my boot drive for the OS. I also have 16 GB of RAM installed.
Additionally, if you only have a single HD, i.e. your boot drive, you'd need it to be large enough to accommodate both the swap files of the OS as well as Photoshop's scratch.

System expanding to use all RAM when idle

Just had my Mac Book at the Apple Store for tests because the fan was running a lot & computer was running really slow. They found no hardware problem but suggested my problem was that the 2G of Ram was not enough because the system with nothing open was using over 75% of the RAM. Installed 4G of RAM, now 2 days later, having restarted the computer several times, the system has expanded to using 80% of the RAM with just Safari open. Anyone else having this problem.. open to suggestions. Have reset the PRAM, Reset SMC, ran long harddrive test, had it to the Apple store, had them run there tests on?? This is a 13' Mac Book (late 2007) model, running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with UTD software, now with 4G of RAM using 3.81G of RAM with just Safari and the Activity Monitor open. Thoughts, suggestions, cures .. all would be appreciated!
Thanks!

You can find out which application is eating up your memory in Activity Monitor. Selet "All Processes" from the drop down on the right side of the window (next to the search field). Then click on the header for the column marked "Real Mem". This will list all of the process running sorted by how much memory they are reserving, and will give you a clue as to where the problem is.
What web pages do you have open in Safari? Safari can grab large amount of memory depending what kind of plugins a particular site uses.

Safari using up RAM

My wife and I share our Mac via Fast User Switching. I've noticed recently that when she's running Safari (on various websites) it routinely uses over 100Mb (107 this morning) of RAM while mine consumes a mere 20Mb or so. This RAM hogging is slowing the whole computer down (the spinning beachball has become a common event) even though we have 1Gb installed. Does anyone have a clue as to why her version of Safari is such a RAM hog?

visiondr --
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Here are some tips for your wife
Log into her account:
1. Empty the cache & History settings via the Safari menu
2. Trash her Icons Folder:
HD>Users>Home>YourName>Library>Safari -->Icons
Restart Safari and a new folder will be automatically regenerated.
(This folder saves favicons of all the sites you visit. Needs cleaning periodically -- or you can change that file's preferences to "Read Only"
rather than "Read & Write." This will keep it from growing in size.)
3. You might want to check all three "auto" preferences in Safari. Sometimes those lists gets very long and need pruning. (I turned all autofill boxes off, and have no problems.)
A question for her: Does she have any extra fonts added to her users account? Or has she cleaned some out? This could affect her account as well.
Hope this helps

Logic 8 not using all RAM

I'm running Logic 8 on a MacPro 8-core with 13 GB of RAM, but Logic always crashes once it's used about 6.5 GB of memory. I'm trying to run a lot of sample libraries and plugins at once (Vienna Instruments, EWQLSO with Kontakt2, Stylus, EXS24 instruments, etc.), but it reaches a limit and crashes, telling me "could not allocate enough memory" and other memory messages like that. How can I get Logic to use the rest of my RAM that's just sitting there?

Ok here's your first problem... 13 gigs of ram. If you read and pay attention to Apple's info, you'll see that they highly recommend you pair up the RAM chips and use the same ones, otherwise you're using 64bit memory addressing as opposed to 128, which of course means processing things faster. Look at your RAM configuration and look at which ones are not paired up, I'm thinking you have a pair of 512MB DIMMS in there which should be taken out, yes you'll lose a gig, big deal, you'll gain speed.
Second, Logic can't use more than 4 gigs of RAM. It's not a 64bit application. 64bit as it's compiled, I am not talking about the audio engine. The fact that it reaches 6.5GB is because EXS24 has its way of starting up more processes which can use 4gigs of ram Each. Logic itself is not using the 4 gigs.
The reason you crash is because one of the plugins you're using is not written properly to let Logic know that it's running out of RAM, and hence Logic tried to take up more and crashes because it can't address more than 4gigs of ram, and when it does... boom. As an example of that, BFD 1.5 used to be like that, until FX rewrote their code to work properly, and now when BFD2 tries to get above what Logic is capable of, it stops loading samples and throws up a little popup telling you you're running out of memory.
Your problem is not logic, it's one of those plugins which is not written properly.

Web pages will not load through Safari on all my computers using my AT

I am using Safari 8.0.5 and OS 10.10.13. The last couple days when using Safari through all my computers using my AT&T internet connection, web pages either will not load or they load very slowly. Safari will indicate it cannot find the site. If I run Safari, using all the same computers, through my Verizon MiFi Connection, it works fine. U-Verse works fine. Mail works fine through AT&T. I am able to use Internet Explorer through my AT&T connection on a work lap top without difficulty. I have deleted caches in Safari and deleted history in Safari. I have contacted AT&T and they do not know what is the problem. When I check my download and upload speeds for the internet using Safari and the AT&T connection, they are slow. When I do the same using the Verizon connection, they are fine. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you.

You're not alone. I, too, was having the same problem today. I found your question and had seen that you had contacted AT&T with little success. I had gone to ufix.att.com and ran the self diagnosed test and system reset. My pages are loading a little faster now. Hope this helps.

Win2k8R2 svchost.exe suddenly starts to use all memory

Dear all
I have a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 + current Patchlevel Remote Desktop Host. Installed are a lot of applications, SCCM 2012 Client, Kasperksky AntiVirus Enterprise Edition.
Yesterday i had the problem that the svchost.exe is using all RAM of the Server (32GB) and has a private working set of 120GB. A quick "fix" was to restart the server. And now after around 24h i have the same problem again.
I did not change something on the server except install the Microsoft CA Hotfix against flame.
The svchost that has this problem controls this services:
svchost.exe
AeLookupSvc, CertPropSvc, gpsvc, IKEEXT, iphlpsvc, LanmanServer, MMCSS, ProfSvc, Schedule, SENS, SessionEnv, ShellHWDetection, Themes, Winmgmt
The server is now running since 2 Years without any problems and now it starts :/
After a restart this svchost.exe is using just 48MB RAM.
Thanks for any tips
JBAB

Hi,
For troubleshooting purposes please reconfigure so that the services for this group run in their own process. To do this you may create a .cmd file using Notepad with the following contents:
sc config AeLookupSvc type= own
sc config Appinfo type= own
sc config AppMgmt type= own
sc config BITS type= own
sc config Browser type= own
sc config CertPropSvc type= own
sc config EapHost type= own
sc config gpsvc type= own
sc config hkmsvc type= own
sc config IKEEXT type= own
sc config iphlpsvc type= own
sc config LanmanServer type= own
sc config MMCSS type= own
sc config MSiSCSI type= own
sc config ProfSvc type= own
sc config RasAuto type= own
sc config RasMan type= own
sc config RemoteAccess type= own
sc config sacsvr type= own
sc config Schedule type= own
sc config SCPolicySvc type= own
sc config seclogon type= own
sc config SENS type= own
sc config SessionEnv type= own
sc config SharedAccess type= own
sc config ShellHWDetection type= own
sc config Themes type= own
sc config wercplsupport type= own
sc config Winmgmt type= own
sc config wuauserv type= own
After saving the file please double-click to apply the changes and then restart your server so that they will take effect.
After restarting your server please open task manager, select the Processes tab, and sort the display by the memory column so that the processes that are using the most memory will appear on top. When one of the services starts to use too much memory
you will be able to right-click on it and choose Go to Service(s) and you will know which service is misbehaving.
Thanks.

Why is Safari Using up All My RAM?

I've read, and posted various topics related to this issue, and have not yet seen any answers to this.
Some say "why is this a problem"? Well, this is a problem if all I'm basically running is Safari, Mail, & maybe iTunes, and the Activity Monitor shows:
Safari - using 662.30 MB of "Real RAM", & (really) 24.62GB of Virtual Memory (& it's gone as high as 135 GB) which is ABSURD!
Plus, even though I'm using 1.09GB of "Active memory", & 680.14MB is "Inactive", they are added, to show 1.96 GB of Used memory, leaving me a whole 35.86 MB of memory left!
Thus, I get big slowdowns, some programs won't even work, etc.... I empty the cache constantly, use flash only on the windows I'm choosing to activate flash for, thus it forces me to close Safari, or use Firefox if I need to use any other programs! This is very frustrating, and would love to hear if anyone has either a fix for this, or at least a rational explanation as to why Safari is using up nearly all of my available memory. (it would be nice if my iMac could hold more than 2GBs)...

HI,
If an application freezes or crashes, and you need to Force Quit, use the Activity Monitor.
Safari VM on my iMac runs about 146MB. Are you absolutely certain it says: 135GB and not MB?
Just emptying the Safari cache isn't the only maintenance available.
Troubleshoot third-party plug-ins
If you're using the latest versions of any third-party plug-ins yet Safari still unexpectedly quits, try disabling plug-ins:
Open Safari.
From the Safari menu, choose Preferences.
Click Security.
Deselect "Enable plug-ins".
Use Safari for a while until you are reasonably certain it is no longer unexpectly quitting
Go to:
/Library/InputManagers
~/Library/InputManagers
If there are any files in the Input Managers folders, move them to the Trash.
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
It's always possible there's an underlying issue.. perhpaps a problem with the Mac OS X itself.

I sent in my iPhone 6 for repair. I used restore on the loaner phone I was given, and the contacts, texts, reminders, and Safari pages all showed up. My phone is back, and when I used the restore function again, those items are missing.

I sent in my iPhone 6 for repair. I used restore on the loaner phone I was given, and the contacts, texts, reminders, and Safari pages all showed up. My phone is back, and when I used the restore function again, those items are missing. I do not use iCloud because I have no wifi at home, limited data available for regularly backing up, and I have a 64GB phone and don't wish to pay to upgrade from the 5GB iCloud storage. Am I doing something wrong? It worked so seamlessly on my loaner phone that I am completely stumped as to why it will not restore those items to my original phone again.

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service. Your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have chosen to sync.
If you have failed to do this, then they are likely gone.

HELP: Premiere Pro CC not using all CPU and RAM during rendering and export

Hello,
I am using Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 7. My timeline is quite simple with two videos, one with the movie (mpeg) and the other with the subtitles (avi).
When I render the sequence in PP or export, the rendering time is way too slow and it only uses around 15-20% of the CPU and 3 GB of RAM.
My hardware config is :
- CPU : i7-4770k 3.50Ghz
- RAM : 8 GB
- Disk : 2 x 3 TB SATA (no raid)
RAM is not the bottleneck, neither the disk access.
I have tried rendering and exporting the same project on an iMac (with an i5 2.7 Ghz and 4 GB RAM and only 1 disk) and the result is 4x faster !!!
The CPU usage is close to 100% as well as RAM usage.
So how come PP uses all resources availble on an iMac and not on a Windows 7 ?
Is there any known bug or software bottleneck on Windows 7 ?
My machine is brand new and nothing much installed besides Adobe products.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,

I just rendered out a a 2 minute sequence with about 100 clips in it and Colorista effects on everything to the Vimeo 1080 H264 preset. It took about 5 minutes to render straight from Premiere, it used all the recourses it could, my CPU was running at near %100, same with my ram and GPU, I was happy.
Then I did another render with Red Giant Denoiser and it now wants to take 30 mins and it is only using about %20 of the recourses available. My problem isn't that its taking longer with Denoiser but that its not using all of my computers CPU and GPU.
Im rendering at maximum render quality and bit dept to H264 (Im happy to wait the extra time), if I try to use VRB 2 it encodes 1 pass at a time and wants to take up to 40 minutes.
I would appreciate some advice on this.

You may not expressly be using all the RAM in your machine but OS X will, whether you know it or not.
Each time you read a file from disk, whatever was read is cached by the system; when the file or program is no longer in use, the memory is marked free for the system to recover for other purposes but as long as it remains in memory the next time you need to access that disk information it's simply read from memory.
The more RAM, the more disk data is kept around and the faster your machine will operate until that memory needs to be recovered or you reboot (or otherwise flush the disk cache.)

How do I download PDF files using Safari. All I get is a black screen.

How do I download PDF files using Safari. All I get is a black screen.

Back up all data.
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then launch Safari and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

I used to send a link from safari using mail. Suddenly i cannot do this anymore.I have checked all the details but nothing will work

I have always managed to send link from safari using mail Suddenly I no longer can do this and mail just sits with the message in outbox. I changed nothing and all the settings look the same. Very frustrating please can anyone help. I use an aol account with outgoing imap and incoming smtp port 587 with no check in ssl box. AOL will not help, and apple are not interested either. I find it frustrating when things that were working suddenly dont for no rason. I am running OSX 10.6.8 Thanks Tracy

Using all 32 GB of RAM?

Hello!
A friend of mine has bought a dual 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Mac Pro and expanded it to 32 GB of RAM.
Whatever the reason: After a few days of work he has to reboot the machine because all memory being used and frequent activity on the HDD. My point was that it´s good that Mac OS 10.5.8 uses all available RAM, but he says he has to restart the machine because of some 2 MB large disk writes/reads every now and then. Any thought about what´s happening? Is this normal after a few days of work?
Regards

I remember reading something on the Developer site after I got my 2008 Mac Pro that the Buffered ram actually slows down the mac based on the configuration of the ram, ram type, make, mix and matching different sized pairs, ect. If I remember right, VRam doesn't used the physical ram, it uses the Hard Drive in a hidden folder named Temp. Did he do a PRam reset recently?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html
PRam stores many settings and after a wile it needs to be reset so that the old settings can be replaced.
Its been my experience that after a lot of hours of video work, and other terrible things I do to this mac, the PRam needs to be reset and I force the periodic daily weekly monthly scripts to run in terminal. I also periodically unplug it to reset the power management. I ran Parallels for a little bit but I didn't like how it allocated memory and CPU usage. I switched to VMware and my Macs been happier.
