Something is eating the memory!
I used to have 30g of memory, and today I only have 500mb!
I got my first message: 'Your start up disk is almost full' yesterday.
Over the past few months something has slowly been eating it. I upgraded to Panther a good 6 months ago and also downloaded Office:Mac. I have a couple of third party games on the system, such as GameHouse. Could any of these have given me a bug that eats the memory?
Please help!
Cheers,
Maria
Hello Adam ( or Maria )
Running a disk with so little space is asking for trouble. A minimum of 10 - 15% is generally considered the safe level of free space.
I would strongly suggest that you ditch some file you know can be easily replaced. ( Music for example ) Repair permissions from disk utilities, re-start, then download this Application to tell you what has eaten all the space...

Post back if you need more.

N86: something's eating internal memory
Hello there,
I own this little good buddy called N86, and now that I have starting getting used to of it, space cruch is the new creepy thing, i have to deal with.
This has got 80MB of internal memory (C:, too low), and after 4 months of use, it says 58MB used by other files. I have been hitting my head all the way browsing internal memory and cannot find what those other files are? Cannot find it on my own, but should be able to, by anyone of your's grace!!! Got an idea... what can be done...to get rid of so called "other files"...?/discussions/board/message?board.id=topfaq&thread.id=159

How to free up or clean the memory in a WebForm?
Hi everybody!
I need you help. I'm working with web forms with data base connections. In the first moment, I can see the memory state by Task Manager and the memory is loaded in 1.50 GB. After of run the project, the application start to eat the memory and then
this is overloaded to 2.80 GB. This is irrational and no way find the solution for that. I destroyed all the objects and the connections, also I used the Garbage Collector but doesn't matter because no works. Regards and thanks so much for the comprension.Hi,

Does repeated use of the same addSubView eat up memory?
Inside viewDidLoad I'm created an array of button objects. When I click on another button in my app, I'm looping through the array, placing the buttons in frames and adding them to the view with the following code:
[self.view addSubview:[buttonsArray objectAtIndex: i]];
[self.view bringSubviewToFront:[buttonsArray objectAtIndex: i]];
When testing on an iPhone, after a while an out of memory error occurs. I am wondering if it is perhaps because of the way I am doing this.
Would repeated occurrences of addSubview and bringSubViewToFriend gradually eat up memory? Or do these overwrite existing items I've previously added to the subview?
Would it be best if I do this just one time inside viewDidLoad and hide the buttons until needed?
Or after clicking on a button, is there something better I should do to release the memory used until needed again?
Does this sound like a likely cause of a memory problem?
Thanks,
dougI'll check out the subviews property.
In the meantime, programmatically, how would I add the buttons to a single UIView as a container? That sounds very useful.
I did notice that for UIToolbar I could hide and unhide the entire UIToolbar at once with a single property setting of hidden to YES or NO. But I set up the UIToolbar in the Interface Builder.
It would be great to figure out how to add the buttons to a UIView. In fact, what I'd like to do is add them to a scrolling view container at some point.
I just haven't been able to figure out the syntax yet.
Thanks,

Something that eats up all my memory? (or hard drive space?)
Hi,
Someone told me that there is something in Adobe Premiere Elements that I need to turn off as it eats up memory unnecessarily. Is this true? If so, what do I need to turn off. All i know is that my laptop is full and I don't believe I have that much on it and I have a hard drive with a 250 GB capacity.
Thanks.lithea
I just figured out what your turn on off referred to when I ran into your Premiere Elements 8 wireframing question.
In Premiere Element 8.0/8.0.1, the Automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer features are major grabbers of computer resources.
The Premiere Elements 8.0.1 Update was supposed to take care of the Automatic Background Rendering part, by disabling its default status.
The AutoAnalzyer part you had to take care of yourself.
1. Automatic Background Rendering.
Go to Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 Timeline workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/General and make sure there is no check mark next to the
option about Background Rendering.
(If you have not download and installed the 8.0.1 Update, please do so. See Help Menu/Update. If that does not work, then use the 8.0.1 download
from Adobe Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0.1 update
once installed this will be no "8.0.1" seen.
2. AutoAnalzyer
In the Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 workspace, click on the Organizer Tab in the row below the active Organizer header to open the Elements Organizer workspace. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalzyer Options, and turn off every option under that category.
To get back to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, click on File Menu/Exit.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

I have seen this before, a long time ago (several years), and I cannot
remember how/if we resolved it.
If this is an impotant issue to you, I suggest that you open a case with
BEA support.

This is a rather important issue, I have seen another post with a similar problem.
While not being a show-stopper it certainly raises concerns.
The application works ok until the application exits (in both development and
executable form)
Apparently this did not happen with Tux 7.1
It does with 8, I do not have 7.1 so I have no workaround.

I've cleared almost 30 gig off of my hard drive in the past 2 weeks, and it will temporarily show that in the Get Info box. But hours later, I am still getting a disk full error and all of the memory has disappeared. I have cleared my backup logs from Time Machine, checked the mail folder, cleaned out tons of photos and videos and it still keeps filling back up.
In checking the log files, here is the message repeated over and over....

Any ideas on what to do next?
I'm running and iMac 20-inch early 2009
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)Step 1
Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
Step 2
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash as well:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal. -
Java.exe application error - the memory could not be read
Hi all,
I have some problems. I have been getting this error:
The instruction at "0x03491c33" referenced memory at "0x034c1f77". The memory could not be "read".
This error occurs when the disconnect function() is called.
My code is as follows:
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_JFrame_disconnect (JNIEnv * env, jobject obj) {
::CoInitialize(NULL);
HINSTANCE getprocDLL = LoadLibrary(TEXT("test.dll"));
if (getprocDLL != NULL){
typedef void (_cdecl*pICFUNC)(void);
pICFUNC disconnect;
FARPROC getProcessID = (FARPROC)GetProcAddress(HMODULE(getprocDLL),"Disconnect");
disconnect = pICFUNC (getProcessID);
disconnect() <---- error occurs when this function is called
FreeLibrary(getprocDLL);
::CoUninitialize();
Any idea what could be the possible problem with the code?
Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Edited by: dolphlam on Sep 4, 2008 12:41 AM1. Check what value getProcessID has.
2. Verify that the signature of the method that you are casting it to is correct.
3. Can you call disconnect without actually connecting to something?
4. Move the code out of JNI entirely. Create a C/C++ executable and verify that the code works there first. -
Safari Application Error "The memory could not be read"
First of all I would like to say I LOVE Safari (for Windows). Because of it and iTunes I have recently purchased a mac. Now the problem.
For the past 2 weeks or so this has been happening. When I start up Safari I get an error message that says
Safari.exe - Application Error
The Instruction at "0x121f377b" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate the program.
Now here is where its funny....Safari works, just every time i open it wether it a new window or at startup...this comes up. Does anyone know anyway to fix this and any useful tips for Safari/internet connections/macs?Actually, I spoke too soon as far as AVG Free anti-virus' link scanner. The next time I opened Pandora internet radio, I got the error again. Looks like it has something to do with adobe flash player for Safari. I removed flash player and i could not get the error. As soon as i re-install and run a website with flash, it gives me the error again until i restart my machine.

The instruction at "0x000000019" referenced memory at"0x000000019" . The memory could not be "read".
Hi,
this topic came up several times the last years, so it may not depend on the version of LabVIEW.
We are running LV7.0 (EXE) on WinXP. The application works several hours fine when this error occur:
The instruction at "0x000000019" referenced memory at"0x000000019" . The memory could not be "read".
Yes, we have re-installed the system with latest NiDAQmx driver and so on ..
No, we are not using DLL, CIN or something like this.
What can I do ? My custumer is not amused ...
Every hint is welcome
- Jochen -I'm not sure what is causing it, but since it happens after several hours it sounds like it might be a "memory leak" where an array allocation or something of that nature is growing, not being properly deallocated, and eventually hitting a memory boundary. Could you give us a little more detail what you are doing, also there are somethings that have caused that type of problems in the past. A search of previous posting, etc. for memory leak produces a number of threads. Also to look for this one might start the program and note the amount of memory LabVIEW is taking using the "Task Manager" in Windows. Then looking at the numbers a while later (an hour or so) should tell you pretty quickly if this is an issue.

How can I figure out what is eating my memory so I can upgrade my software?
Do you mean disk storage space or physical RAM? The latter is memory, not the former. If you mean the former:
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
If you mean RAM, then you have to add more to the computer which is not possible on Air models. -
Why does the memory keep depleting? Is it kernel_task?
It seems that recently the memory available continues to decrease. What seems to solve it is 'quitting' Safari and re-launching, along with running "Memory Clean" from the OS App store. I had somehow wound up with an adware called cinema hd, and it attached as a plugin, but I removed it. However, seems that simply scrolling through Facebook and refreshing Facebook causes the memory to deplete the longer I do that. Again, running Memory Clean that takes just a few seconds, and it seems to fix. Seems this just started happening over the last few weeks.
That all said, I accidentally 'hijacked' another post, so I have started a new one to help troubleshoot my issue. Clearly I have something on here that is sucking up memory over time. When I run Activity Monitor and hit the Memory tab, kernel_task seems to float to the top, and right now is 764.2MB as I'm typing this post. Following that is SymDaemon at 343.8MB, then the two browser tabs I have open in Safari. Then it drops down to double digits: Windows Server 73MB, Messages 61MB and on down.
Here is the info from an EtreCheck which was advised to someone else on another thread.
Any suggestions? This Mac has always run great - so I think I just need to undo something.

Be sure to back up your Mac before making any changes to your system. To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac.
Hate to say that I've wasted $80 on that.
Yes. Get a refund, if possible.
So are we saying that I should just run with no antivirus?
That is a popular misconception and oversimplification. Non-Apple "anti-virus" products such as Symantec / Norton serve no beneficial purpose and are only likely to contribute to problems.
In general "anti-virus" software began to outgrow its usefulness with the demise of Windows. It's completely ineffective against the kinds of threats that exist today, a fact that Symantec's senior VP for information security admitted a short time ago, declaring "anti-virus" software "dead" while petulantly admitting the real reason is that it doesn't make any money. Read below.
Don't use garbage apps such a "Memory Clean" either. In an admittedly broad generalization, do not install anything claiming to "clean" your Mac. If they aren't worthless, they're malicious. They'll all waste your time and / or money.
There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
"Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
The same precaution applies to Adobe Flash Player. New Flash vulnerabilities appear almost weekly.
Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver "free" movies or other copyrighted content that is not normally "free".
The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.
