Why does Logic 9 memory seem to cap out at 1.5-1.7 GB?

running in 32 bit obviously... I thought the 32 bit max was closer to 2.5-4 GB?
i start getting errors at 1.5. Is there any way to eek out that extra gigabyte?
thanks

Using iStat menu 3 to monitor memory usage. a great and cheap utility if you haven't heard of it. Basically as soon as L9 hits 1.5 I get a memory low message and then at about 1.7 functionality goes out the window. I wonder if the 4 GB cap includes some kind of virtual memory that Logic is also grabbing onto via disk space. I have 16 gigs RAM on a 2.93 octo Nehalem. I'm using VEP as well... but sometimes its nice not to have to deal with that part of the equation.
I've toyed with 64 bit a little...but I rely pretty heavily on 32 bit plugs like Waves and Soundtoys. and from what I've read stability is weak with the bit bridge although I can't confirm that.

    why does my laser Jet 4 Plus put out a blank sheet after every print page

    This sounds like an issue that could result from having A4 sized paper but having the printer settings set for A size.  Please check the paper settings.

  • Why does an image size 6x6 240 print out 6.25x6.25 when I drag it into a new file 24x7  240?  When I print it before I drag it into the new file it prints out 6x6.

    Why does an image size 6x6 240 print out 6.25x6.25 when I drag it into a new file 24x7  240 image size?  If I print it before I drag it into the 24x7 240 file it prints 6x6.

    What is the number 240 meant to indicate here – the resolution? If so please also give the unit.
    And what are your printer and the print settings you use, could there be any scaling involved in the printing itself?

  • Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Why does the flash update install mcaffee with out asking!!!

    Because McAffee pays to have their installer "bundled" with the update. It's not right, and the "blind installer" in the update (with no opt out) has been documented and reported.
    You can download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly (without any bundled installers) by clicking one of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Why does the highlight feature seem not to work about 1/2 the time in various ibooks.  I'm trying to take notes and about 50 pages into a book the highlight feature stopped working.

    I've long noted that the highlight feature in ibooks is clunky and fairly limited in it's note-taking features, but the last two books I've read I've had trouble getting the highlight feature to work at all.  I click and drag over text and nothing happens.  I try with command depressed and nothing happens.  If I double click a bunch it will eventually highlight one word, but nothing more.  What gives?
    Also, not to be snarky, but why can't I seem to find a button that would read text to speach for me?  How do blind people use this service, or illiterate, or dyslexic, or people like myself who can learn far more from hearing then from reading. 
    And why does the text of a book often render so that it's haf cut off of the page?

    There is a button for speech within the iBooks menu. Edit > Speech. You might be better off buying Audiobooks. You can get them from the iTunes Store or Audible.com

  • Why Does Logic Pro Repeatedly Asks for Serial # and XSKey When Started?

    I've purchased and installed an upgrade to Logic Studio 9. I previously used Logic Pro 7 but did not have it installed on my MacBook Pro when I installed Logic Studio 9.
    The installer asked for the Logic Studio 9 serial number which I entered and then prompted for the original serial or XSKey. I dug out the Logic 7 XSKey, plugged it in and it was accepted so I could continue with the installation which completed successfully.
    So far so good.
    But now Logic Pro 9 asks for the serial number and XSKey every time I run Logic which isn't what I expect. I re-enter the new serial number and then plug in the XSKey which is accepted and the software runs as expected, but I would prefer not to have to do this every time I start the application, in particular because I don't want to carry the XSKey around with me at all times.
    Why isn't Logic 9 storing my serial number? Why does it ask for the serial # and XSKey every time I start the application?
    I'm not running Logic as an admin user. Could this be preventing Logic from storing the serial information?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I had this when upgrading from 7 to 8. What I did was plugin the xskey BEFORE I started the upgrade and it never asked for a key or serial again after that.

    Why is Logic doing this?

    BBecause you upgraded to Mavericks and have a Logic version before 9.1.8. Earlier versions are not compatible.

  • Why does my mac memory show used 130gb movies, yet i only have 35gb of movies

    when i click on "about this mac", on the memory tab, it shows that i have used 130gb on movies, yet i only have a toal of 35gb of movies on my mac, why does it show this and how do i correct it ??

    That would be an issue that you need to discuss with the iTunes/MAS support folks. When you sign into your account on the iTunes app on your computer check your purchase history. There is an invoice there for verything that you have purchased. If there is a question about a purchase listed, there is a link to iTunes Support from the invoice.

  • Why does firefox leak memory up to 2Gb on windows7 64-bits on my Alienware computer but not on my 2 other Inspiron 6400 and 1750?

    right now i have only 5 tabs open with information about firefox help firefox memory leak and so on just to try to see if i can find anything about why i have this memory leak and the memory leak is already up 1.3 Gb.

    i have the same problem, please do something about it! I have 2gb RAM and after a few hours ff uses 80% of my RAM and additionally 1.5gb of virtual memory. This slows down ff, because of copying data from virtual memory to ram.
    I know this is because of caching websites in RAM but it really slows down ff, here is my solution:
    1. A user is able to specify maximum RAM to be used by ff
    2. Website caches are sorted by last access datetime - now if firefox reaches the max RAM - it removes the oldest website from RAM.
    Simple and effective. Damn it.

  • Why does audio click/pop at in and out of any transition I apply?

    If it's not a pop or a click, after I apply a transsion for some reason the audio level drops during the transition and doesn't appear to be adjustable even with clicking the edit volume button. I have tried many many things and all that seems to work is extracting the audio from both clips that are next to eachother first, and then apply a transition and it seems to be ok but even doing this numerous times I have attempted to extract audio from one clip by pressing Command J or going through the menu and gotten a completely different clips audio when before I extracted the audio it was fine. Why does this happen? In addtion the titles I've added always appear pixilated? Any suggestions? I have read the entire tutorial and know how everthing is supposed to work but nothing seems to be doing what it's supposed to.

    You hear a pop or gap during a title or transition in iMovie
    http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n107945
    After applying a title or transition, you may sometimes hear a pop or brief period of silence between the transition and the next clip.
    A clip's volume is lower after you use an effect or title in iMovie 4

    For titles, they often look bad on the Mac. Will look fine on TV. You should use simple (sans-serif) fonts like Helvetica or Arial in large sizes.
