Why does my coy

so i know that i only have a one gig or ram in this mac min i but how come it seems to lag now.It never used to . Even when i go to ITUNES and go to "add to library" then choose my external hard drive it lieterally takes forever. I mean it doesnt read the files fast at all. Also when im DJing in Traktor 3 , I will try to click on the next track while one song is playin and it gives me the spinning circle of death and crashes.It has rarely crashed on me like that. I dont think its a issue with my exernal hard drive or traktor but more with my mac min i,thanks

I'm not clear on whether you are running a PPC Mini or an Intel Mini. Could you please tell us which?
If you are running an Intel Mini, then you have to watch out for legacy PPC programs that will invoke Rosetta emulation. This will double the memory requirement of the program.
Please run Utilities > Activity Monitor and and make sure the popup menu in the upper right of the window says "all processes". Then look in the the "Kind" column for any PPC processes. Ideally you would upgrade any PPC "kind" processes to "Intel" -- if yours is an Intel Mini. Then, in the "Kind" column, everything would read Intel. (Again, this only matters if you don't have a PPC Mini.)
Another reason why your RAM might suddenly be insufficient is if your are running a Desktop Widget which has a memory leak. I suggest not running any Desktop widgets until you get this problem sorted out.
If you want to run Traktor and surf the web at the same time, you might try Firefox instead of Safari. The current Safari is a major resource user, IMHO.

    Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.

  • Why does my safari browser frequently gives me a gray screen? I resetted my safari many times and it doesn't help. Also sometimes when I scroll it gives me this weird scrolling effect where everything is either upside or messed up.

    Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop imac ical?
    It will if I put it in on my desktop though.

    Probably because you did not tell the iPod to sync the calendar in iTunes.

    Why does captivate hang when it is closed in window 8.1 professional ? How is it solved?

    Hi,
    Do you see the issue every time you close captivate or is it only in some scenarios? Does it show any error messages? What captivate version are you using (64 bit or 32 bit)? Can you provide some more information or screenshots which can help us reproduce the issue.

  • Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.
    Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
    If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
    iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

  • Why does my FCX program quit suddenly when I try to capture from my camcorder?

    Why does my FCX program quit suddenly when I try to capture from my camcorder?
    When it opens it says "no codec found". I used HDV Apple intermediate codec 1080i60. What codec should I use?

    Do you mean Final Cut Express or FCP X?
    These are two different apps.

  • I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

    I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

    The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works.  Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up.  Try them again. 
    Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp.  Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp.  Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.  
    Kep trying.

  • Why does everyone at my work loose their internet connection when I update Adobe Cloud Products?

    Why does everyone at my work loose their internet connection when I update Adobe Cloud Products? We are on a 20mb broadband connection and there is around 20 people using computers at my work but when I start my Adobe Cloud Product update or when I try and download my Adobe Cloud Product everyone at my work looses their internet connection and so do I. But the update keeps downloading and installing.

    I am sorry FooWingLi but the difficulties you are describing sounds more like a local network configuration issue.  I would recommend working with your I.T. department to investigate this matter.

    Can anyone help me?  Why does my ipad kick me out of FB?  Sometimes to the 'settings' page and sometimes to the desk top?  I would like to know why this happens and what I can check or change to make it stop.   I have 50.8 GB of capacity available; it is version IOS 5.1.1; model MC497LL.  It is WIFI and internet via AT&T?   Can anyone give me some clues on what to do; or change in settings???  Thank you very much! 

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Why does PL/SQL not support 0 length strings?

    Why does Trim(' ') return null instead of an empty string?
    Why does '' return null instead of an empty string?
    Because of this, LENGTH(Trim(' ')) returns null. And I want zero.
    I ask because I'm cutting up a string and in other languages (even ones that support Null) when these techniques are used, I get a valid empty string.
    Am I wrong in feeling that an empty string is the equivilent to a 0 in a numeric field and that null in a string is equivilent to null in a numeric field?

    For Oracle, by definition, a null string is a string of length 0 since at least Oracle 5.0 (i do not know the previous ones).
