already read the threads about memory limitations,
the snow leopard limitation has not been withdrawn, and the Mac OS Lion restriction will be removed? or not?

  • Does the iPhone 4S (or any iOS devices) use only partial ram when doing intense things such as playing a really graphical intense game?

    I heard that when using the iPhone 4S, the user can only access 200mb instead of the full 512 mb, is this true?

    Any update will cause problems for a few users. And those users will rush here and post "the sky is falling" stories about their experience. The 99.99% of people who have no problems after an update won't bother to post here; indeed, most of them don't even know ASC exists. FWIW, I had no problems with iOS 7 on my 4S. Your problem is most likely not related to iOS 6, but you should probably update anyway. For addressing the battery issue see this outstanding article: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain

  • HT201413 why got occured error (1600) when instal ios 6 on iphone 3g

    why got occured error (1600) when install ios6 on iphone 3g ?

    Hi dbs5852,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has information on error 1600 and may help:
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Check USB connections
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
    Cheers,

  • How do i deactivate the auto updation on my iphone 4,i want to use only watsapp but when i am turning on my celleular data all apps starts updating theirself,please help me

    how do i deactivate the auto updation on my iphone 4,i want to use only watsapp but when i am turning on my celleular data all apps starts updating theirself,please help me.I am not using any internet pack other than watsapp.

    iPhone do not do automatic update. You have to manually trigger the updates.
    If your Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads > Music, Apps, Books are ON then when you purchase any new content/item with any devices/computer iTunes, it will automatically download. Switch it OFF if you do not want that to happen.

  • Why won't adobe cs5 photoshop uses only 3gb of my 12gb ram??? pls help

    hey guys can you help with this,.. i'm a bit confuse with my adobe cs5 photoshop in my system... i have an i7 970 processor and a tri channel 3x4 (12GB) ram.. but when i look at the EDIT>PREFERENCE>PERFORMANCE in my adbobe cs5 it only indicate 3GB available ram when i have 12GB installed in my system... i want to adust it to use 8gb of my 12GB ram.. how can i solve this??? need you advise thanks...

    Photoshop CS5 installs as both a 32 bit and a 64 bit version on an x64 operating system.
    Run the 64 bit version to access all of your RAM.
    Run the 32 bit version if you need compatibility with older 32 bit plug-ins.
    Look in the Start Menu for links to both.  The 64 bit version is labeled with (64 Bit) after its name.

  • Kernel task uses 750MBs of RAM since installing Mavericks

    Hi All,
    I'm new to these forums and could really use some help. After installing Mavericks I noticed my system was running deathly slow even with no applications open. At first I assumed it was indexing so I waited a day. I noticed kernel task, the finder, and icon services agent were using unusual amounts of RAM. Kernel task would go up to 750MBs - it never went that high before. The finder would go up to 300MBs and stay there, even after closing every window. Only quitting and restarting Finder would solve that issue.
    I've tried repairing disk permissions. I also tried getting rid of Parallels, since MS finally released OneNote for Mac. This made no difference. I deleted lots of widgets and unecessary applications and possible bloatware (like TechTools Pro). I installed AppCleaner to make sure I got everything. It got most, but definitely not all associated files. I then went into the terminal and did the command that reveals hidden files/folders. I then deleted the daemon for techtools pro just in case.
    After all of this, kernel tasks is still using 750MBs and 7.9GBs of RAM is being taken up (other than background processes all I have fired up are Firefox and Skype. I'm at my wits end and would be so grateful for some help.

  • MBP with 4GB on board, Leopard use only 3GB

    Well, sure or not, you are incorrect. Your machine cannot (and has never been able to) use the entire 4 GB, it's a limitation of the memory controller. Despite that limitation, it does show up in System Profiler and in About this Mac as 4 GB. However, only the 2.2/2.4/2.6 GHz MBPs can use the entire 4 GB - yours cannot.
    In these last days I've had an heavy reduction of speed. I've noticed it because I use a lot of virtual machines and now it's almost impossibile to load more than one.
    How much free space do you have on your hard disk? More than 15% of it's capacity?

  • How to use only for scanning without installing printer cartridge

    I have an old all in one and want to use it only for scanning without installing printer cartridge. I get the red signal of no i9nk and "E" msg in copy no button. If I give scanning request from HP solutions centre I get an error message " An error occured while communicating with thescanning device"

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Community! I understand that you are trying to scan on your HP Deskjet F380 All-in-One Printer without having cartridges installed. I'd like to shed a little light on this for you. Some HP printers are able to scan without ink installed, but most do not. If the cartridge lights on the product are blinking and there is an "E" in the copies window, then the printer is in an error state and will not function until cartridges are installed. If the printer is in an error state, that would describe the message you are getting that "An error occured while communicating with the scanning device", as the printer would not respond when prompted by the software. You can check the blinking light combination on the printer and follow the steps in this document to resolve the error state and continue using the device.Blinking Lights on the HP Deskjet F300 All-in-One Printer Series Hope this helps!Thanks so much for posting.

  • Is there a way to trick MS Service Manager 2012 to use SQL Server 2014 when installing it?

     I recently set up a virtual Lab on my laptop. I dont have much resources on my laptop and can only have around 5 servers. the problem is that i already set up SQL Server 2014 standalone and configured all of my services to use that server which works
    fine. however when i try to install MS Service Manager 2012 it throws "SQL has to be either 2012 or 2008" error ..
    is there a way for me to trick the Registry so Service Manager will install?
    Thank you

    I don't know a trick to install SCSM 2012 on a SQL Server 2014. But maybe you can use a SQL Server 2012 for installation temporary and move the db after installation is done to your SQL Server 2014?
    Moving the Service Manager and DW Databases
    Might be worth a try. But it's definitely not recommended for a productive environment!

  • Laptop use only 4GB RAM of physical 8GB in 64bit Windows 7

    In my laptop HP630 had 4GB of RAM. I have installed additional 4GB. But the Bios shows 4GB of memory instead of 8, and Windows 7 x64 - also shows the memory capacity 4 GB (3.86 available). However, the program CPU-Z displays properly connected the card in the first and second slot, and the total volume of 8192 Megabytes.
    How to make Windows to use all the memory?
    update: 28.04.2012
    The new board was defective, the store replaced under warranty, and are now defined all 8 GB
    problem solved

    Hi,
    your MBP has a +"NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory"+
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP583
    That's why you don't get the full 4GB but 3.74GB.

  • Why use a wait timer when you can "wait for front panel activity"?

    Why does everyone:
    1) Wire a stop button to the while loop conditional terminal and add a wait for 100 ms (or so) timer to the loop.
    When they could:
    2) Wire the stop button to the while loop conditional terminal AND to "Wait for front panel activity" VI as described in the VI's help file?
    Thanks!
    Adam

    That's just a matter of habit. In previous LV versions, the wait for front panel activity was not available.
    And of course, now you can use the Event structure, that offers better possibilities...Message Edité par chilly charly le 06-25-2006 04:11 AM

  • "key not valid for use in specified state" when installing itunes

    I recently uninstalled an older version of itunes, and every time i try to install the newest version it wont work.
    I just keep getting the message "key not valid for use in specified state". If you know what to do could you
    please make it simple. also do not send me to apple's help section, it does not have ANY answers.
    thanks.

    For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.
    There is a link to 7-zip in the Install missing components section of the user tip Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates, but if you have the key not valid error the advice above should work, and there is no need to break down the setup file.
