Unkown photos using memory space

My iphone 3gs when plugged in to itunes is telling me that my photos are taking up 2.73 GB of memory but the funny thing is, I've deleted all my photos out of my phone and its still telling me this. I've restored it via back up and its still telling me the same thing. I've also deleted all the apps that could be using this space for photos, but with no avail. What is going on here?

Welcome to the discussions,
try to restore "as new iphone" without using the backup afterwards, your backup may contain corrupt files. And photos taken with the phone are part of the backup as well.

I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos?

Problem regaining memory space after deleting photos

While on vacation, I copied 9 mb photos, in iPhoto albums, from a family member's Mac to my iPad 2 . Once back home, I deleted the albums and photos using my own computer.
Even though the photos are now gone, my iPad still shows that I have 9 mb of photos. So, even though the photos are not showing up on my iPad, the disk space is still reserved for the deleted photos. How do I get it to give me the disk space back? I no longer have access to the other Mac (that uploaded the photos).
It was difficult to delete those photos as there were several thousand in a variety of folders. I ended up syncing to my own iPhoto which had very few photos. That did remove the albums & photos, but did not give back the 9 mb of memory they resided in.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Not related ... but may be related ... Here's my problems:
Okay ... so, because I had less than a 1 Gig left (as reported by iTunes) on my 64Gig iPad, and the majority of the space was being used by "Photos" ... I decided to not keep my PC photos directory in sync with my iPad (Windows 7). So, in iTunes, I unchecked the option to sync computer photos to the iPad. I got the standard popup warning message that my iPad would not contain those albums after the next sync. I clicked OK and proceeded to sync expecting to have lots of space freed up.
But weird things happened after syncing.
(1) I still have all my photos on my iPad .... nothing disappeared at all. (And performed multiple syncs to try to force the change ... still nothing has been removed from my iPad.)
(2) Somehow, I gained 20 Gigs of free space, as reported by both iTunes and my iPad as well.
Anyone know what's going on here?
I do have iMovie and another movie making app, Avid. Both of these contain projects that refer to photos in albums that were supposed to be removed after the sync ... but I can't imagine that would keep them there. Anyone have any ideas?
I also installed the iPad app, iPhoto. I noticed that it build a directory listing and continuously want to update that listing from time to time.
Would any of these things cause the iTunes photo sync changes to be ignored? And, how did I get free space to report back with an additional 19Gig or so, when there's no change at all.
Unsure what's going on ...

HT5902 Why do icloud photo sharing photos seem to be using memory on devices

Why do icloud photo sharing photos seem to be using memory on devices

They do use space on your mobile device, they are on your device inb addition to the original in your camera roll.

I have always been able to zoom in on my photo by holding the cmd and space bar, that changed and now it creates a box and zooms in on that area and I can't zoom out using cmd space bar. How do I change it back to the original way of zooming?

Select the Zoom Tool in the tool box and see if Scrubby Zoom is unchecked or greyed out in the tool options bar.
(you want Scrubby Zoom checked)

In tune show all summary activity during sync between nb and apple device. One of the summary is memory space status. Audio mayb3gb, photo 2gb, app with 3gb. What is other? Other consist of what type of file?

In tune show all summary activity during sync between nb and apple device. One of the summary is memory space status. Audio mayb3gb, photo 2gb, app with 3gb. What is other? Other consist of what type of file? It show quite substantial storage capacity?? Anyone can answer what is in other??

"Other" includes data such as contact information and photos assigned to contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cookies/history, notes created with the Notes application, SMS messages, email stored locally or cached, and 3rd party application data created and stored by the application.
If "other" is more than say .75GB at the most, you had a corrupt sync. Try syncing again and if the problem persists, the recognized fix for this is to restore your iPad.

Observation: SAP uses swap space even when OS has available unused memory

Hi Folks,
   It is my understanding that any memory not used by the Linux OS itself or the SAP application is available for Linux to use for I/O buffers and file caching. When the SAP application requires more memory I would expect Linux to take memory away from itself (release I/O buffer and/or file caching memory).
   We have observed that SAP uses swap space even when there is memory available. Is there some feature in SAP kernel or some ABAP construct that causes SAP to prefer swap space over available memory? Or maybe there is a Linux kernel setting that influences SAP's use of swapping.
Regards,
Zaz

Hi Mike
You did not mention which distribution you have. Under SLES there is is a parameter called SWAPPINESS, which controls the buffering/swapping.
cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
If you don't already know, you can see the memory usage with the free command.
root # free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          7987       7901         85          0        364       4262
-/+ buffers/cache:       3274       4712
Swap:        15999          0      15999
As far as i know, in this example 3274 is memory used by SAP and other processes and 4712 is cache. Please correct me if i am wrong.
Regards
Michael
Edit: a low swappines, for example 10 means to reduce cache first, a high swappiness (example 100) means page out processes first

Does photo stream use storage space on iPhone?

Mine came with 13.5 GB, am down to 6.2 available, also, if i transfered all of my iphone photos to my photo library on my mac,it should be safe to delete them on phone's camera roll and steam,right? I want to delete them because my photo stream is a replica of my camera roll, and if it is using storage space on phone,well that's just a waste of space.

if i transfered all of my iphone photos to my photo library on my mac,it should be safe to delete them on phone's camera roll and steam,right?
Yes. Both iPhoto and Image Capture include an option to delete photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll after the import process is complete as with any other digital camera.
If you don't have another iOS device and you aren't interested in making use of the iPhoto option on your Mac to automatically import photos from your Photo Stream so you don't have to do this manually, you don't need Photo Stream enabled. Be sure to import from the Camera Roll often and/or back up your iPhone regularly without having Photo Stream enabled.

Why do I get an I/O error when using LabView 5.1.1 ViMove Out 8.vi in A24 memory space after upgrading to NI-VXI 3.2?

Following an upgrade from NI_VXI 2.2 to 3.2, a VI which contained VISA Move Out 8.vi to load waveform data to a VXI WaveTek 1396 Arbitrary Waveform Generator using A24 memory space. The error coming back is -1073807298 VI_ERROR_IO and I have A24 Memory Space defined in MAX.

HTE Guy:
You might try disabling DMA. You can do this either in MAX or programmatically using viSetAttribute to set VI_ATTR_DMA_ALLOW_EN to VI_FALSE.
We have an idea of what the problem might be (due to the limited number of places this error occurs in the code) but we can't reproduce it internally. What OS and what VXI controller are you using? If disabling DMA doesn't help, you might want to contact NI tech support directly.
Good luck,

How do I remove recovered photos (used photorec to recover lost photos) to have more space in my macbook pro HD?

How do I remove recovered photos (used photorec to recover lost photos) to have more space in my macbook pro HD?

Hello there, Shrid.
The following Knowledge Base article reviews how to Sync photos:
iTunes: Syncing photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You will just sync to the new computer. Keep in mind:
Additional Information
Syncing photos with your device will create an iPod photo cache.
Syncing photos can only happen from one computer or user account at a time. Syncing photos with a different computer or user replaces the photos on the device.
You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
Email them from the device to yourself.
Copy them from the emails to your computer.
On iPhone and iPod touch using iOS 5 and iOS 6, all synced photos will appear in a unified category called photo library. Photos are not duplicated; this is a way to view all synced albums in one place. You can also tap a specific album beneath photo library to view individual albums.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Memory space using a 32bit Java process on Redhat Linux

I have a java process that I need a lot of memory for. Its a 32 bit process, and I have no desire to have it as 64bit due to the huge pointers it forces.
So I know I can turn to Solaris where I will have close to 4GB of memory available for this process (right?). But are there Linux alternatives? I am especially curious regarding Redhat on intel64 machines as I have (which is the common desktop hardware nowadays).
I heard about the hugemem kernel for Redhat, but I am lost understading its nature. It is said it is not available for v.5 for x86. So is it available for the intel64 processors as I have? And what is the max memory space for a java process?
Any other bit of information about java 32bit process running on a linux flavor on an intel64 machine will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance!

I'd say this is normal. There are a few things to consider when looking at an application like this:
1. The 14 MB your process consumes include the memory required to load the java virtual machine. That is, all the base classes, native links, the just in time compiler etc. 14 MB isn't a lot, all things considered.
2. When you display a message box, java will load additional classes and resources. They increase the heap size, though not really by 4 MB. Java preallocates portions of memory for the heap. If, for instance, your application consumes 16 MB of memory and you allocate another MB, the heap size may grow to 32 MB. Having a free section of heap space to spare increases performance, since java won't have to ask the underlying system for free memory every you create an object. You might want to check out your program in JVisualVM (deployed with every JDK6), which will tell you how much of the allocated heap size is really in use, or you can rely on the according methods in the Runtime class.
3. The JVM is capable of 'heap shrinking', meaning it will return allocated sections of memory to the OS once in a while. However, it will not do so unless the heap size is significantly larger than the used portion of the heap (otherwise, it would defeat the purpose of preallocating memory). So if you allocate 2GB of RAM when clicking your button and allow this memory to be cleared by the garbage collector, you'll observe that the heap will shrink again eventually.

IPad showing photos in about settings and using gb space despite being deleted

iPad showing photos in about settings and using gb space despite being deleted

And it is not Photo Stream photos that you are seeing reflected?
Try resetting your device(nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, see if the issue is resolved.
If it isn't try syncing with iTunes on the computer you sync with, and uncheck "Sync Photos". See if that clears it up. If it does, then re-sync the photos that you want.

Syncing photos into my IPAD 2 is eating up my macbook memory space, it didn't with my IPAD1, is there a way to fix this?

I have a IPAD generation 1 and i just got my iPAD 2 last week, both ipad are 64 gb. I have a picture collection folder on my macbook pro desktop that is around 45 gb that i need for my work.The problem was that when i tried to sync this folder into my ipad 2, it started eating up a considerable amount of my computer memory space leaving me with around 13 gb left and mysteriously adding more gb to the foldering (it is around 90gb now). I've had my Ipad 1 for a while and it has never been a problem when i sync the same folder, i was also able to store a lot more document folders on my desktop before my ipad 2 came along. im wondering if the IPAD 2 somehow creates backup files of things it syncs within my computer and how i can get back my computer memory space?

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Restor from backup
- Restoe to factory defaults/new iPod.
You can also look at the previous discussion on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This" with yuor same poblem.

Photos using mass amounts of hard drive and duplicates

Hello
I am helping my friend organizing her iPhoto Library. I do not use iPhoto for myself so I am not familiar with it too much. I organize my photos using Bridge and keep them on my external drive.
My friend takes a lot of photos and organizes them on iPhoto on her Macbook. I noticed that iPhoto saves the images in 3 separate folders. I think one is for the original and then the other one is saved for editing and then it saves a lower res file. Is there a way to have it only save it once? She uses a back up system for her computer to save everything on it so we are more concerned about space. I have been telling her to get a separate external drive to save her photos on because she takes so many. That is how I archive them for my photography business.
on another note, I have also noticed that she has several duplicates of videos from her camera on her computer as well. I think it could be because she refuses to format her memory card on her camera after every use. and so the video downloads again every time she downloads the card. does that seem plausible?
or does all of this have to do with an import setting that I just cant figure out on iPhoto or on her computer?
All I have been helping her do is delete the duplicates to help her with space issues. I have tried to fix this for her like 3 times. Please help!
Thanks, Julie

I noticed that iPhoto saves the images in 3 separate folders. I think one is for the original and then the other one is saved for editing and then it saves a lower res file.
The lower res file is tiny and is what you see in the iPhoto Window.
Is there a way to have it only save it once?
No. The difference between iPhoto and Bridge is +version control+. All operations are carried out on a copy of the photo. iPhoto will always preserve the original file.
She uses a back up system for her computer to save everything on it so we are more concerned about space. I have been telling her to get a separate external drive to save her photos on because she takes so many.
HD space is cheap. You can run an iPhoto Library from an external disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
on another note, I have also noticed that she has several duplicates of videos from her camera on her computer as well. I think it could be because she refuses to format her memory card on her camera after every use. and so the video downloads again every time she downloads the card. does that seem plausible?
Yes.

What's in the JVM Process's Memory Space?

Hello
I'm noticing the following behavior on an NT system. On
application startup, I see
Total Heap 9 MB
Used Heap 5.5 MB
java.exe memory (from NT Task Manager) 36 MB
After a "login" operation which loads a few more
classes:
Total Heap 12.5 MB
Used Heap 8.2 MB
java.exe memory (from NT Task Manager) 53 MB
Heap memory leaks have been ruthlessly suppressed
(thanks to OptimizeIt and careful programming). The
behavior I do not understand is that the NT process
(java.exe) increased in size by 17 MB when the Java
heap increased by only 3 MB. The .jar file in which the
application resides is less than 1 MB, so this 14 MB
growth can not be attributed to new classes being
loaded.
Does anyone know what is going into the process
memory space of java.exe? It tends to grow larger
and larger.
Should I even care? Do I want a large allocation of
process memory for java.exe, or will that hamper
performance of machines with less physical memory?
Posts on related topics in this forum have sometimes
advocated allocating a lot of memory to the JVM with
-X options.
Thanks

Hello
I am facing exactly the same problem on NT. However, on 2000 Server this problem doesn't seem to exist. Are you, by any chance, using JNI? We are extensively using JNI in our Servlets and found that there is definitely some momory leak there. We could not figure out any substantial leak at Java end. In NT's "Task Manager" java.exe is always listed first and very rarely the memory usage seems to come down. On 2000 Server the performance is far better.
