Too much memory used ,nothing boots up after password .Help!

I am having trouble after I enter my password the screen gets stuck on the login picture of stars .i have a low memory warning pop up when I enter my password . Is there any way I can fix this ?

That is the warning you get when you don't have enough hard drive space for the OS to run properly. Since you can't get the system to boot up properly from the internal drive you will need to use a external drive to boot the system, that is after you install OS X on that external, and move or delete files from the internal drive.
If you don't know how to do any of that ask a friend that has more computer knowledge than you do to help you do it.

Too much memory used Yosemite OS

I took my MBAir back into the Apple Store after downloading Yosemite and the computer was crashing do to overuse of the memory. They said there was nothing wrong but it keeps happening and obviously it is happening to others. Not sure what to do other than get no answer from Apple employees and be left with a new computer that does not work for more than 15 minutes at a time.
Anyone have an answer for me?

Firefox using too much memory after an update

Since I updated to firefox 14, it started using WAY too much memory, which is 2GB+. This has never happened to me, and none of the solutions on the website have helped me. It starts off normally at about 80 MBs and then starts growing and growing. I have to restart firefox about twice an hour or more.

I also recently downgraded my flash player to a recommended version on this website since the latest version crashes too much, that was about the time when I updated firefox, not sure if that might be why this is happening
EDIT: Updated to latest version of flash again. Memory usage is still high

OIM 11g using too much memory and not releasing it when shutting down

Hello,
we have a problem with OIM 11g using too much memory (about 5gb) and it's not releasing it at shutdown (4gb still used).
We are using a VM with RedHat Linux 5.6. Originally we had 4gb RAM + 2gb swap file. We installed Admin Server, OAM, OIM and SOA on that machine but quickly realised we couldn't run all 4 programs at once in 6gb. AdminServer could run with 2 other products, but it was a tight fit in memory.
So we increased the RAM to 8gb (still 2gb swap file). But then our problem occured : I start the Admin Server (2.7gb total memory used), then OAM (4.6gb total memory used) and then OIM. After it started the server is now using 9.6gb of memory (~300mb of free memory) ! The problem gets even better : after I shut down everything (OIM, OAM, admin server) the "top" command show that there is still 4gb of memory used even tho nothing else is running on the server ! There is absolutely no other process (other than root stuff) running and no other users connected to the machine. After a reboot, it shows 400mb of memory used. I tried restarting the programs and it did the same thing.
Our intuition is that there might be a memory leak or some bug in OIM that might use up almost all the free memory and it's not releasing it upon shutdown. It might have been there before we increased the memory but have not noticed it since memory was already tight.
Anyone encountered the same problem ? Any idea ? Any suggestion to narrow down the problem ?
Thank you

You can adjust the memory settings for WLS by editing the setSOADomainEnv.sh file that can be found in your /middleware/user_projects/domains/<domain>/bin/ folder. There is an argument called PORT_MEM_ARGS which is used to set your Java memory arguments. This way you can decrease/increase the amount of memory used by each managed server.
I usually type "ps -ef | grep oracle" to see what processes are running by the oracle user. This way the output doesn't get cluttered with root processes.

Why does AVG keep telling me Mozilla is using too much memory?

Why does AVG keep telling me that Mozilla is using too much memory and I have to close and reopen the program?

the Advisor is just telling you the same thing you can see for yourself in the Task Manager; I can open firefox with only a few tabs and then watch the memory usage skyrocket when Firefox should be doing nothing - after a couple of hours it will get up to as high as 1.5GB before it completely hangs and I have to end the process in Task Manager, and this does this with all extensions disabled and in Safemode.

Skype keeps crashing after taking too much memory

Hello,
So my version of skype client is 7.3.0.101 and it doesn't stop crashing since a few months now.
Here's precisely what happens : I launch it, it's pretty slow since the problem the problem appeared but something like 30 after it crashes. We can see in the task manager that skype progressively takes way too much memory, most of the time it starts at 150 Mo and quickly reaches 1200-1400 Mo before crashing.
I noticed that skype took less memory by running it in compatibility mode for windows XP service pack 3, it stays stuck at 200 Mo, but my whole computer looks slower.
I tried everything but nothing worked, I uninstalled and reinstalled it, I added or modified keys in my registry, added skype to exceptions in my fire-walls, tried to install an older version (which didn't work because of auto update)... I don't know what to do now, that's why I come here to ask for help
Also one more thing : It exessively takes my processor power (arround 14% all the time), and my processor is an i7-4770.
Thanks a lot if you decide to help me !

Have you tried these?

Every time I load my igoogle home page opening firefox, it opens it in two tabs instead of one, and then AVG tells me firefox is using too much memory and I should close and reopen it; Why

I open firefox using my igoogle home page and immediately it opens two igoogle tabs on top instead of just one how do I stop it from opening the second one? and then after about two minutes AVG tells me firefox is using too much memory slowing my machine and tells me to close and reopen fire fox...how do I fix that?

Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that that there are no longer Firefox or plugin-container processes left on the Processes tab in the Task Manager. Otherwise session restore will reopen the page(s) from the previous session.

Firefox uses too much memory, gets bloated, and won't respond.

For the past several versions of FF....I have posted here about it's 'behavior' under OS X.
The browser uses too much memory. After a short period of time, it becomes 'bloated', slow to respond, and requiring a 'force quit' to get out of it.
Being as I've posted about this before, for a previous version, and only received feedback from other Mac users experiencing the same thing, and not getting answers or help...I've stopped using it once more. It was a one day trial, and I didn't make it past 6 hours of use.
Welcome back, Safari!!!

Firefox uses too much memory

I've been using Firefox as the default browser on my systems (both Windows and Linux and in 32 or 64 editions) and for some reason Firefox consumes too much memory. Now trust me. I have a very fast machine and so I get very frustrated with this issue as it seems to be a Firefox only issue. Its true that I might have up to 40 tabs open at times but Chrome can handle it Safari can handle it and even Explorer can handle it. Sometimes Firefox's memory consumption peaks to an astonish 3GB of memory which is unheard of. My machine is so fast that I can have up to 10 programs open (Maya, Photoshop, Cinema 4d, Autodesk Suites MySql server and PHP5, MS Office) and still be able to work with them all at the same time, but Firefox crashes suddenly and that is very annoying as I've customized it to my needs adding extensions and making sure all my online baking is done using Firefox. This memory issue is far more noticeable when I'm using Windows 7 64 bits. The same amount of tabs and extensions opened on Linux have no effect on memory and I often switch to Linux just to be able to enjoy a smooth Firefox browsing experience. I've invested so much money into building an amazing machine and it takes 10 minutes of having Firefox running to crash it all completely. I've lost track of the amount of times I've lost my profile and had to rebuild all my customizations but I can stand that. What is beyond my comprehension is the fact that when I'm using Windows XP or Linux the memory used by Firefox is far lower than when I'm using Windows 7 or 8.1 .
Can you help me out? I really love Firefox and would like to keep using it as my default browser but can't afford losing my profile info every time Firefox crashes or having Windows Explorer crashing and losing all the work I'm doing on other software programs.
Much appreciated;
Sam

Are there any tabs reopened from the previous session when this happens?
Do you keep a large history?
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#w_fix-the-bookmarks-file
You can try to check and repair the places database with this extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Why does Firefox keep telling me that it is using too much memory, (eg: 235MB) and I should restart Firefox?

Lately Firefox has been popping up a warning while I am on the internet saying, that "Firefox" is using too much memory. It suggests shutting down Firefox and restarting Firefox. It also told me how much memory that is in use at that time. It is usually about 235MB or more. What is normal memory use for Firefox to use while I am on the internet? Does high usage mean that some other person is trying to get into my computer?

You appear to have AVG installed:
*See --> http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=173969#post_173969
From reading on the internet, it appears that when there is a spike in memory usage, AVG "interprets" that as a memory leak, possibly caused by malware. AVG could be incorrect concerning that assumption. Maybe they are being a bit too conservative about memory usage; just my opinion.
The decision is yours to turn off the "advisor" or leave it on.
