Dashboard using too much ram memory

Whenever I use the dashboard, after a couple of minutes it starts consuming more than 1GB of RAM memory, so that it doesn't let me work. I have to force quit the Dashboard... The mac is almost new. Any solution?

I have tried to analize better what happens. In the dashboard I only have a calendar, a calculator, a clock and one postit (but there is nothing writen on it). If I use something in the dashboard, for example, the calculator, and I do some multiplications, after a couple of minutes the use of memory of the dashboard starts to increase. I closed any other program and in some minutes I have sen how it increased until I stopped the process when it was using more than 2GB! (you can see it in the picture). It's very strange! (Thank you very much for your help!)

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:

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.

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.

Darn, memory usage lowered to 41MB by itself. I guess that's good. The topic can be closed.

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.

Macbook using too much memory

Hi guys,
Weirdly my macbook pro (mid 2012 model) is using too much ram, core i5, 4 gb ram
Take a look at this screenshot...
While I took this screen, I was using only chrome (4 tabs), itunes (wasn't playing anything), and utorrent, nothing else!
I have a friend who has a Macbook Air 13.3" and with VM, CAD software, music playing, safari, his macbook uses 3.80 gb (same as me without VM)
I've done a clean install of the OSX 10.9.2 (to remove previous mountain lion files etc), my computer even frozen once, had to manually turn it off...
Does anyone know what can I do? Thinking about buying buying 2 modules of 4 gb but is there another solution besides buying more ram? This laptop isn't 1 year old =/
Thank you guys!

I do not see any problems with the Activity Monitor data in regards to RAM. As I see it, there are no Swaps and the Wired RAM is normal in my estimation.
As an aside, i suggest that you try another browser as I alluded to you before. Also I would get rid of the torrent application. They are often an invitation to malware or trojans.
Comparing your friends MBA and your MBP is still not an Apple to Apple situation. (pun intended) The Air has ssd storage, your Pro does not which will distort the results. In addition you would have to compare them with EXACTLY the same criteria. Doing that is not worth the effort.
Unless you are having performance issues there is no cause for alarm.
Do consider increasing it to 8 GB if the bank account allows. The new OSXs seem happier with that amount.
Ciao.

Avg tells me firefox is using too much memory,close and restart

Why does my laptop give me a warning saying that firefox is using too much memory and to restart firefox to be more efficient? I just bought this laptop so I know it has the power to run what I need it to.

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.

My I-phone 4 is using too much memory storage. Data

My I-Phone 4 is using too much memory. It shows Apps at 1.44 and Data & Documents at 1.68, not to mention "other" using up more memory. I have tried eliminating apps but nothing changes. How does one get rid of some of this "stuff" that is using up so much memory??

Mavericks is designed to use RAM differently for good reason. Normal

Mavericks uses RAM much more efficiently than any other previous version of OS X. Mavericks now has a memory compression feature that will compress the memory occupied by applications that aren't being actively used and give the freed up RAM to the application that needs it the most.
