Why is all my RAM being taken up with just Google Chrome being run?

As you can see, basically all of my memory is being taken up with just activity monitor and google chrome being run.
Google Chrome has just three tabs open.. The CPU is fine 93% idle.
Please can someone help/explain cause I this is very annoying!

Not sure what you are seeing here. Restart if you are bogging down. Run less apps at one time. Use a different browser.
Mavericks manages memory very well in 10.9, all memory is quickly put into play, but I see no memory pressure in the red zone.

Hi ausanyu,
As long you placed the gift card under his Apple ID, it should bill it according to the first article below. If that is not the case, then I would report the issue by following the steps in the second article.

Why does firefox open after i uninstalled it and installed google chrome

i uninstalled firefox, then installed google chrome. often i will be on chrome and firefox opens a window with porn sites and multiple tabs. how is this possible after being uninstalled. and this only happens on my girlfriends desktop. On mine i dont get anything like that.

First of all you need to run some malware scans, it sounds like the computer has been infected. Try running several malware scanners, you can use any of the following:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
* [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Lavasoft Ad-Aware]
* [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender] (If you use Microsoft Security Essentials then you will not need to use Windows Defender)
As for Firefox appearing, that implies it has not been uninstalled. The [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox uninstalling Firefox] article shows how to manually remove Firefox if the uninstaller failed.

Why does the Welcome to firefox tab open with my google tab every time I open the browser? And why can't the browser hold any add-ons I downloaded? I loose then when I close the browser, even tool bars have to be reinstalled every time I open the browser

Every time I open the browser the Welcome to Firefox tab is the first tab, then a second tab opens and thats my google, then a 3rd tab opens for me to reinstall my toolbar. This has been happening for a good year. Updates have not fixed it. Others have this problem. I did a search for an answer, the question is out there but no answer. Now if I go into add ons and add a background Theme or an extension it all is gone when I exit the browser. When I open the browser again I get all 3 tabs and have to install my toolbar again. I DO NOT want to reinstall as I will loose all my saved data, passwords, bookmarks, everything! I have had this computer for a year, Windows Vista x64 bit. Its not the computer, it's the browser. If you have specific questions e-mail me and I will be more then happy to help

WHY CAN'T I LOGIN TO MANY WEB SITE WITH FIREFOX BUT CAN WITH INTERNET EXLORER 8 AND GOOGLE CHROME

I just installed firefox 3.6.8 on a new computer, it worked fine for a few days but now I cannot login to several sites that require usernames & passwords. (citezens bank online, (chase freedom credit cards online) medco mail order prescripions online. etc. Some of the sites say that I must have java script enabled, but if I go to firefox tools/options/content it shows java script enabled. I can login fine with internet explorer 8 and google chrome. I have firefox 3.6.8 on my old computer that has dial up internet access and it works fine. On the citizens bank web page the words "login" appear in a box, but when I click on it nothing happens & no boxes for usename or password show up. on the medco login page no lotin related words appear. They do with IE8 & google chrome. On chase freedom the login boxes are there but when I enter my password, after a few seconds the password disappears & nothing happens. The other browsers work fine . I believe that on one of the sites there is a message about "scripting being necessary" I cannot find any info about scripting it I do a search for it.

Why have I lost access to Safari? I also have Google Chrome, but when I choose to use Safari, an error message comes up.

I have both Safari and Google Chrome on my MacBook Air. I have been using both until recently.
When I now click on Safari I get a message that says
404. That’s an error.
The requested URL /ig?hl=en was not found on this server. That’s all we know.
So I resort to Google Chrome. But I'd like to continue to have access to Safari. Is this a bug? Incompatibility all of a sudden? What do I need to do to have Safari functioning again?

This is what I started getting when blue search items also stopped turning violet in Google. I got a message that my browser did not support Google, or that Google did not support my browser. It said I ought to upgrade my browser which I declined to do. I use OS X 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10.
I get it every time I open Safari now.

Some, possibly, but shouldn't be a problem.

Much of it is OSX and other things needed to run your Mac.

Why isn't all my RAM utilized?

Hi there,
I have a PowerBook G4 17” 1.67 GHz running on OSX 10.3.9
The system came with 512 MB DDR SDRAM and I had the shop add an additional 512 at the time of purchase - 1 GB total. I have noticed since the point of purchase (two years ago) on the Activity Monitor that the system never uses more than 450ish of my memory at any given time no mater what I’m doing. I run video processing software (Final Cut Pro, MAX/MSP/Jitter) and I would expect it to utilize more RAM, seeing that there is a Gig it could use. I am concerned because the video processing work that I am doing requires at least 1 Gig of RAM and I’m wondering if some problems I am having with my video processing is actually a product of my system not utilizing all the RAM available to it. I can see two 512 chips in my system profiler. The Activity Monitor displays that there is at least 550 MB unused at all times. It seems one chip never gets used. Is there some way to allocate memory to a program in OSX? Why isn’t my system using that RAM? Is there a problem, or is this normal?
any insights here would be most appreciated.
thx - renee

Please explain.

Why are all my apps 32-bit on a Windows 8.1 desktop with 12GB RAM?

Why are all my CC 2014 apps on a Windows 8.1 desktop with 12GB RAM 32-bit instead of 64-bit?
Thanks

>don't see anything there regarding 64-bit applications
You need to click on EACH program to read the requirements for THAT program
System requirements | After Effects- Intel Core2 Duo or AMD Phenom II processor with 64-bit support
System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro- Intel Core2 Duo or AMD Phenom II processor with 64-bit support
And so on... if the INDIVIDUAL page does say 64bit the program does not REQUIRE 64bit

This is a complaint is about being taken adavantage of.

I have been with Verizon since May of 2014 and I felt good at first about joining Verizon but at his point I am very disappointed in my experience so far. Every month has been a headache and I can not seem to see at all where the saving really are and especially since I have a government employee discount. I was told about every month "Oh you should see the savings in one to two billing cycles" what a joke! Every month since May I have had to increase my data so that I would not get charged for data overage which is $15.00. So now I am at 8GB and still no savings my bill has been over $100.00 every month since May. When I got my first bill In June I was charged $45.00 in data overage when the IT Support was supposed to have increased my data to avoid this overage and they did not. So If I had not been paying attention to my bill like I do every month Verizon was just going to take my money and say nothing about it. That's bad business they should have the knowledge in technology to catch a mistake on a bill and step up to credit a customer's account for Verizon's mistake. So here we are with the bill for August and Verizon has done it again by secretly adding charges to my account with out a explanation of why they are charging my account. My bill had a overage charge of $14.99 and a late fee of $1.50 which is $16.99 dollars of my money that they were just going to take for no reason. So I called and I was told that since July and August had 31 days that they moved my billing date back on day and Verizon failed to notify me of this action taking place and so that's why my bill was one day late. The lady I spoke with said "Oh we really should tell our customers when this happens so that they can be better prepared to pay their bill on time" now WHY is that so hard to do when Verizon will send you text after text for just about everything else. It's really a shame that I have to call Verizon every month about my bill and call them out on fees that should NOT be on my bill. I am sick and TIRED of doing that I just don't understand what the issue is with communication. My bill was fixed but I asked why was I charged a data overage charge when I clearly did not go over it said that to be true on my Verizon account. She said that " I was charged that because when you go out side of the data towers and use someone else's tower you get charged a NO BILLED DATA FEE" "So we have to wait for the other tower to send us your data usage off of their towers and then we add it to your bill. WHAT??? REALLY?? I have never heard that ever and she could not even tell me what tower and where so right there I know that is a lie and that because I did not go over they just wanted me to pay more money. See the way I figure it Verizon wants me to pay more because they feel what I pay is not enough since I get a discount and if that's the case they should not offer discounts period. Also it seems that at the last two weeks of every month I get a text saying that I have used 70% of my data text YES to get 2 more GB'S, and then the last week of the month close to my new billing date I get another text saying I have used 90% of my data. Well I think that is happening to force me to increase my data to pay them more money, that's not fair BAD BUSINESS. I will say that my service is excellent but customer service and the over all management of Verizon is TERRIBLE AND UNJUST. When my contract is up I will be leaving Verizon to never return because I work hard for my money and I will not just give it away to a bill that has fee's that I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR. If I know that I went over my data I am grown enough to pay for it with no questions asked because I know that it was my fault. I will continue to monitor my bill every month and keep a close eye on Verizon to prevent them from screwing me over on my bill. I'm tired of being taken advantage of.....
