why is wired memory less than what's used?

A whole lot of the stuff you use can safely be paged out and back again with impunity. Wired memory is memory that cannot be paged out to Disk.

  • Why is actual memory less than specifi

    Hello
    I own a Creative Muvo TX FM (256MB) and I was just wondering why the actual memory is less than 256MB. For instance I see this in other players and in my own I have only 243.5MB.
    Also, is changing the format from FAT to FAT32 going to change this "practical amount"?
    Thanks in advance for you help/advice!
    Jacob

    Also, remember that when you are looking at actual space on the player, in the "industry", a mega-byte (MB) is ,000 kilo-bytes (KB) and not ,024.
    And yes, the operating system is going to also chew some space.

  • PS CC 2014 requires less than what my laptop is capable of, but still says "not enough ram". Help?

    I have an Acer Aspire with Windows 7. I downloaded Photoshop CC 2014, which said it's requirements were less than what my laptop has, plus I upgraded the ram to 8 already. If I go to lighting, it opens, stalls, then says not enough ram, and another message about making sure things are enabled, etc etc, which I have already done. What do I do?

    It says ram on one message, and talks about graphics card on another. The first message that pops up says the 3D feature require that "use graphics processor is enabled in the performance preferences. Your video card must meet the minimum requirement and you may need to check that your driver is working correctly. Once that message is closed the next message that pops up says unable to perform function you do not have enough RAM.

  • Should I settle for less than what I am paying for...

    A couple of months ago I upgraded to BT Infinity 1 Unlimited. The package was for speed of between 25 mb to 35mb.
    As I was only getting on average 15 to 16 mb  on one occasion 12.8mb. I rang and BT who sent an engineer out. On checking the HD box the engineer made improvements at the box. and now sometimes I get between19mb to 21mb. The engineer said that as the box is 436 metres away from my house I would never be able to get even the lowest speed of 25 mbps.
    I have just run the BTW TEST which reads as follows
    Download speed 20.90
    MAX 22.9
    For your connection the acceptable range of speeds is 16.3mhps--22.9mhps.
    Upload speed during test 3.75mbps
    Upstream rate IP profile for your line is 10mbps.
    Do you think I should settle for less than what I am paying for.
    Solved!

    Thanks for your reply,
    I have been with bt for over 40 years and have great service from them. I know a lot of other users have bigger problems.
    It was just that the advert on line said 25 to 35 mhps and I was hopeing that I would not have to keep watching the little circle going round and round before opening a page.
    I buy and sell racecards on ebay and most times bid on things in the last few seconds and slow turning of the pages does  not help.  ,

  • Are the fonts that are available to me when I am using the free trial of InDesign less than when I use the purchased version of InDesign?

    Are the fonts that are available to me when I am using the free trial of InDesign less than when I use the purchased version of InDesign?

    Try to find out: When you install the Creative Cloud Desktop app, Click Assets, then click Fonts. Click Add Fonts from Typekit. If you can do that, you're in. Of course, you won't be able to use them more than 30 days unless you subscribe. (But fonts embedded in a PDF or EPUB file would be fine.)
    Those of us who are CC subscribers cannot test this out easily.

  • Why interface property be default final whats the use of that

    can anybody explain me
    when i declared a variable inside the interface its always public static final.
    why its static and final what the use of theat. its set of rule or it has any reason.

    Sir,
    You do not have much choice:
    From the JLS (9.3):
    "Every field declaration in the body of an interface is implicitly public, static, and final. It is permitted to redundantly specify any or all of these modifiers for such fields."
    Note from this though that you do not have to explicitly declare a field in an interface as public / static / final if you dont want to - if you leave it out the field is implicitly declared with these attributes.
    So you could wite:
    public interface SirInterface {
      public int HeIsActuallyPublicStaticFinal = 1;
    }

  • Brand new Zen, less than 1 hour use..crashed and will not b

    Purchased on 5th of June 2006, less than hr use and not working!!
    SPECS
    TYPE - TYPE : Zen Micro Photo
    Capacity - 8GB
    DATE - DATE June 5th 2006
    PRICE - $99
    COUNTRY - US (whilst on holiday, I bought 2, one for a US friend and one for me)
    ACCESSORIES -None
    SOUND QUALITY - decent!
    USER INTERFACE - UI is ok
    SOME COMMENTS - IT has now crashed with less than hours use, it will not boot up, will not charge via USB,it's brand new.. so no. I hate this player. A player should never have this type of problems with less than hours use!!!
    SUGGESTIONS - MAKE A PLAYER THAT WORKS
    BATTERY LIFE - THe first time I used it, I had just had my friend transfer her music files onto it after doing the same to her player. I just wanted to make sure that it worked properly this was on the 8th of June
    on the 9th I got on a flight and headed to the UK, I did not use the player at all, but I noticed that the battery life had slightly reduced even though the player was off.
    On Saturday the 0th I went for a walk to and used the player for no more than 30mins.
    Everything seemed fine, I adjusted a few settings like the sensitivity of the touch pad and put the player on shuffle. I got home, shut the player down and fell asleep.
    Sunday (today) June th. the player refused to boot when switched on, it just hung on the floating creative Zen micro screen. I shut it down and it took ages for it to shut down even though it didn't fully boot up.
    I called my friend in the US and asked her if shher battery was failing she said no, I installed the softtware on my machine, slid the back of my zen, removed the battery and replacd it immediately.
    After installing the software, I connected the ZEn to the machine via USB, nothing happened.
    It won't charge, the Zen windows explorer doesn't hink anything is connected to the machine.
    I am severely disappointed. I spent $400+ buying 2 players with creative, I do not expect a new product to fail so miserably on its first outing.
    Where the heck do I go from here...
    creative owes me an apology and a decent brand new replacement.
    A very very dissappointed buyer indeed!
    In summary,
    THe player will not boot up
    It will not charge
    I cannot get it into recovery mode
    The screen remains blank
    It did not come with a mains charger, just a USB cable to charge via the computer
    How can such a shoddy product be released?
    I bought this product int he US with my credit card..
    I would have to go back to the US in order to get a refund and I would have to do this before 4days are up. which means the deadline for a refund is 9th of June 2006
    Would creative be willing to incur my costs and time to fly back to NY in order to return this nightmare of a product!!
    This is soo shoddy it is unbelievable.
    Creative please rescue your reputation and sort this out.

    Unfortunately scratches aren't considered a defect.
    If the click wheel stopped working or the screen went bad, then that's covered under warranty. But scratches, unfortunately aren't. I would do a search. There have been a few people with success with scratch removers.
    The iPod comes partially charged. There's also that fast chargering, and a full charge.

  • HT1338 The battery life of my Macbook Pro lasts less than what is indicated in the specs. It is a real nuisance!!! especially when I'm in a meeting and have to utilize my Mac laptop!

    I am having trouble with the duration of my Macbook Pro battery. It does nt lasts as long as what is indicated in the battery specs. Is there something wrong with my battery? I have charged it as required when I bought my Mac. Is this another overlooked and over-estimated presentation of Apple? Please enlighten my perceptions regarding this matter. Thanks  

    how old is the battery?  How many charge cycles are on the battery?
    You can get this information by opening the application "System Information" in the folder "/Applications/Utilities".  Select the informtion from the "Hardware > Power" section
    It should look something like:
    In this case I have 35 charge cycles on the battery.  The larger this number the more likely it is that you will have less actual usable capacity.

  • Why does my new macbook pro display the message "startup disk is full" when i have less than 50 gb used on a 500 gb hard drive?

    This is really a problem since i need to save stuff for school work and i can't currently do that.

    It happens anytime I log in, try to save something, or open a new application that may require me to save something. Any advice would be helpful

  • HT201401 Can anyone confirm that 12 hours of low to moderate use is acceptable battery life for an Iphone 5. That is all I am getting. I am using the phone less than I have used any Iphone I have ever had. The battery life between charges is less than hal

    I am very disappointed with the battery life I am getting out of my Iphone 5S 64G. I charge it every night, and would be lucky to make 15 to 20 minutes of calls during the day and yet I am lucky to get much more than 12 hours of life out of the battery.
    I have to make a conscious decision not to use it to avoid it running out on me. I had it back to the Apple Store last week and they ran diagnostic checks on ot and said that the hardware was within specs.
    They replaced the software as it was showing that Springboard had crashed on several occasions. The other problem I was complaining about was that at least 2 or 3 times a day, the phone would refuse to wake up when I hit the home button. It would take sometimes up to a minute of pressing the button before anything would light up. The guy at the Apple store said that this was caused by Springboard crashing and that this would also be what is reducing the battery life.
    I did notice that after they replaced the software, the waking up problem appeared fixed for a few days, but the battery life had not improved. Now the waking up problem is starting to return.
    It is very annoying and somewhat embarrassing when you are with a client and go to make a call and your shiny flashy new Iphone 5 won't even light up. Especially when you have to borrow your clients Nokia.... 

    My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

  • How can I upload to Facebook with an account other than what Yosemite uses?

    iPhoto let me use a separate Facebook account than Yosemite's internet accounts. I want my wife to use Photos (like she used iPhoto) while I keep the one set up in Yosemite's internet accounts. I use Lightroom for photos and want to let my wife use my Mac just for Photos. I don't see a way to do it and would rather not set up a system account for her. She has her own PC but wants to use my Mac just for Photos.

    Kudos! I too am frustrated about this change to my personal page. I also know Apple is not to blame. I also manage a page for the company I work for using pages app. And that app is UN affected and I can choose from any photo stored on my phone (4). I do keep them seperate so I can keep a professional aspect for the company. But if you want your personal page linked to your public or work page, this maybe the work around your looking for.
    Hope this helps. Now go like my work page please. Copies Unlimited in Milan TN.

  • Why does my memory max out at 70% (using iStat) @ 2x1GB RAM 667mhz

    Hi,
    I'm using iStat as a monitoring service and I have 2x1gb RAM installed and a 2.4 core2duo processor. I run multiple programs at once (Firefox, Dropbox, MS Office, iTunes) and my memory hovers around 71% all the time (it gets sluggish around 70%). It never has gone up or past 74%. I figure it should max out around 100% right? I recently upgraded to 2x2gb or 667 memory. Will I still have the same problem of hitting a threshold? How do I get rid of this ceiling? Thanks!

    Hi bmose14,
    I'm not entirely sure how iStat Pro monitors RAM (I always use Activity Monitor for that) but I know Snow Leopard changed how RAM is monitored. Previously in Leopard if you had, for example, 2GB of total RAM it would show that as available and then just immediately allocate the RAM that's being addressed by the GPU. But in Snow Leopard, I find that I have 1.75GB of total RAM (as it doesn't calculate the 256MB of VRAM my shared GPU is allocated).
    I'm thinking you have the Intel GMA X3100 GPU (144MB of RAM) and as such that's being calculated here, in addition to the RAM being used by the programs and OS. With that being said, I don't think you can ever reach the 100% mark. I know I fired up iStat Pro on my machine (prior to responding) and I'm also hovering around ~80% despite Activity Monitor showing about the same as "green" in the pie chart.

  • I'm opening a garageband file on a different computer than the one it was made on, and my drum loops are playing as low pitched beeps instead of the jazzy brushes I want. I believe my version is more up-to-date than what I used first. How can I fix this?

    I believe I said it all in the question...

    Could it be that you had more instruments on the old computer? Or haven't correctly installed the instruments on the new one?
    Obviously, GB hasn't assigned a drum instrument to the track that the drum notes are on (my guess: since it doesn't have the desired drum set.) Press cmd-I to make the track info pane visible and pick one of the drum sets for that track.
