'Wired Memory' issue
I have seen many of this same problem before and had it labelled a kernel memory leak. Basically at activity monitor it shows a list of different 'types' of ram in use, wired, active, inactive and free ram. I have a total of 2GB ram but the wired memory takes up a very large amount of ram, around 850mb, and slows my mac down substantially. Even after all applications have been closed leaving only finder open, the wired memory still remains at this size. What is taking up this much ram? At start up it would be at around 100 - 200 mb then after a couple of hours would shoot up to 800-900 mb, slowing my computer completely. I know that there may not be a solution to this problem since wired memory cannot be controlled since it is used by the OS but if anyone has any possible explanation or solution to this please tell me.
Hopefully Apple will also see this post, diagnose the problem and update the operating system.
Thanks
Applications -> Utilities -> System Profiler -> Software -> Extensions
should show all the drivers. When you select a driver the bottom panel may show a "Get Info String" which in many cases will include a company copyright.
Most of the Apple drivers have "Apple" in the Get Info String. Hopefully some driver you are interested in, includes the authoring company name.
NOTE: Many Apple drivers are Universal, which just means it includes both intel and PowerPC code.
My mac also has other problems like a disappearing dock, shows a shadow and the reflection of activity like the dock does, when i turn of my magic mouse and use the keyboard shortcut CommandOptionEject to put it on sleep, the mac goes into sleep mode but leaves a display open, and freezes, so I can see everything that was there the moment the mac went into sleep on the monitor; basically a still screen, and when i press the power button, it does not wake from sleep and it does not respond to anything except holding the power button down to turn it off.
This is not normal behavior.
You might try installing Mac OS X over the top of your current install (you should have a backup just in case, as you never know what could go wrong; Carbon Copy CLoner, SuperDuper, etc..).
This is a drastic suggestion. If that does not clean things up, you might consider backing all your stuff (maybe back it up twice because I'm paranoid), reformat your drive with Disk Utility, next doing a clean install, finally restoring your personal stuff from your backup (maybe letting the migration utility do this as part of the installation).

There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details. -
I mean this thing is slooowwww. Many apps crash back to the home screen. I have an app called System and it is showing Wired: 59MB at 36.56% What is this? Apps that are automatically on my iPad? Active shows 2MB at 13.90% and I have nothing running except this app. The reason I am bringing all this up is I was wondering is there any way to speed this iPad up? I mean the memory is atrocious! This thing is slow. And it is a brand new one that I got from the Apple store. Granted, it is not an iPad 2, as I do not have unlimited wealth, as Apple assumes we all do, it is the iPad 1. Maybe the memory issue is having too many apps downloaded? I have absolutely nothing running in the background as I close every app I open because the iPad is so slow and crashes even default email back to the home screen at times! I just want to make this thing faster like the day I first got it. Right now, it is serving as a paper weight as I can't keep anything running for very long. Things run smoothly, yes, but many things do not. Still wondering what this Wired section is, as it is taking up so much of my memory. I have only 88MB free and as soon as I open any app, that diminishes rather quickly.
No it's not jailbroken. I will never do that to any of my devices. I am talking about memory. I have plenty of storage. Just tired of apps crashing back to the home screen.

Memory Issue - Inactive Memory?
Been having an out of memory issue with Capture One Pro. When i have the Activity Monitor open I can watch the "Inactive Memory" slowly climb higher. It starts out when i first boot at about 170 mb - currently at 351 mb and climbing, and all i have running is firefox and Itunes.
At first i thought it was a C1 Pro issue, but it seems that may not be the case.
When i opened the Activity monitor last night the Inactive Memory was at 10 gigabytes. ***?
What is Inactive memory? and why would it keep climbing?
Is this an issue with OSX that anyone has heard?

Sounds like a classic memory leak.
I'm sorry, but you could not be more wrong. As explained above, Inactive memory is in effect a filesystem cache. So OS X is caching files in RAM as they are being written to disk by Capture One Pro - this is so that if they are re-read, they do not need to be re-read from disk which is slower. OS X uses this cache only when it's not needed by other programs.
The inactive memory is increasing here, because Capture One Pro is constantly writing to disk. OS X is then thinking "I have all this RAM that's not being used, how about I keep a copy of what's being written to disk in this spare RAM for speed?" .. make sense?
If Capture One Pro had a memory leak, that would be visible within wired/active memory, and the process itself would grow in size.
In fact, the more inactive memory your machine is consuming, the better.

Application is not working due to memory issue
Hi Friesnds,
Kindly help me regarding settings in java. Scenario is like that. I have one server having two jboss versions (jboss-4.2.3 GA and jboss- 3.2.6). Each having java memory (JVM settings) 1 GB. The total memory of that server is 3 GB.
Problem is that every two days my application is not working due to memory issue. Once i freed the memory (through run the commands - (1). sync
(2). echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
Application works fine.
I heared that the above command (echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) can't run frequently because of server crash.
Kindly help me regarding this issue and provide the resolution.
Let me know if you need more information from my side.
Thanks
Ashish ShuklaAll of the above. I tested on 4 different networks and had no luck, I also had friends test my network and the other networks with their iPhones and all had no issues using FaceTime.
Also after I wiped my phone (erased all content and settings) I was able to successfully initiate a FaceTime call with no changes to my network and was also able to initiate another call when connected to another previously tested network that didn't work before. Once I restored from backup though, FaceTime stopped working again.
I did find this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5163024?start=0&tstart=0
and tried the suggestions found there too. That discussion describes my issue I am having as well. -

Hi,
I have several issues with the Podcast App.
- i cannot sync podcast that i have downloaded on my laptop using itunes to the iphone,
- when i download some podcast directly on the iphone, i cannot play them, i still have to stream them,
- i have uge memory issues and i think that the downloaded version of the podcast might be somewhere on the iphone, but cannot access / delete them (over 16 GO, i have more than 4.5 GO used for 'other', that are not related to anything...)
i have tried to delete / reinstall the app, but this does not change anything...
Any help ?

I have a MSI 975X Platinum rev 2 mb with a e6300 processor overclocked to 2.24ghz.
If your CPU operates @2.24 GHz, it means that you increased FSB frequency to about 348 MHz.
To make sure there is no misunderstanding here, let me point out the following:
Memory frequency is ALWAYS linked to FSB frequency by the FSB/DRAM Ratio you can select in BIOS. If you select 1:1 for example, the BIOS will show that memory frequency is 533 MHz. This value however, only applies to the default FSB clock speed of 266 MHz:
266 MHz x 1 = 266 MHz (or 533 MHz effective DDR2-frequency).
If your system is overclocked, what counts is only FSB/DRAM ratio, not the memory speed displayed in BIOS. That means, if you set FSB/DRAM ration to 1:1 and FSB frequency to 348 MHz, your RAM will operate @:
348 MHz x 1 = 348 MHz (or 696 MHz effective DDR2-frequency).
The main question is:
What are you talking about when you say, you can't make your RAM operate @800 MHz?
The BIOS does not offer a proper divider to get your RAM to 800 MHz @348 FSB clock speed to begin with.
You have the following choices if your overclock your system:
FSB=300 + FSB/DRAM ratio = 1.33
300 MHz x 1.33 ~ 400 MHz (or 800 MHz effective DDR2-frequency)
FSB=320 MHz + FSB/DRAM ratio = 1:1.25
320 MHz x 1.25 = 400 MHz (or 800 MHz effective DDR2-frequency)
FSB=400 MHz + FSB/DRAM ratio = 1:1
400 MHz x 1 = 400 MHz (or 800 MHz effective DDR2-frequency)
Use CPU-Z to monitor the DRAM frequency that is actually set if you are overclocking. -
I have a 2008 Macpro...remarkable up-to -date for its age...I plan to use it for some time yet. Lately I have been a having what seems to be a memory issue. There are 12 gig of Ram installed...6x2 gig each in pairs. Sometimes on boot the screen only shows a flashing folder. I shut down and reboot, and it seems fine...but only 8gig of ram shows installed. I opened it up, unseated the boards that hod the ram, and unseated and reset all he ram, and replaced the boards. Great, all he ram shows, 12 gig again. This morning, a few days later, it did it again, showing 8. So, when I run Crucial's memory analyzer, it shows first four slots full, last four empty. A few questions...are the first four slots the top board, the last four the bottom board? This, BTW, is what it was also showing before I reseated the ram. If so, the ram in question s on a separate board. Opinions, is the ram bad, or the board, or neither? Should I reseat again and flush with contact/tuner cleaner/degreaser? Could this hurt? (it is made to clean electronics) the machine does seem ever so slightly unstable. FCP crashed once in a 5 hour edit, which it has done before but rarely. The machine itself did not crash, just the program. Can using the machine like this do more damage, or will it just not boot? I feel it is a seating or connection issue, as I have never seen ram come and go, once it is fried it's fried. The ram is still pretty pricy, but I was going to buy 4 more gigs just to fill it out. Are the two board that hold the ram identical, top and bottom? If so, is a good diagnostic tool to swap them and see what happens? Move all the ram and swap board positions, or do I risk blowing ram ? Remember, the ram did show up when I reseated, so it seems like it is I damaged. My goal would be to see if top ram stops appearing. Does ram need to be filled in order? I know in pairs, but can I just swap the boards and leave the ram, which should look like filling slots 1,2,5,6,7,8...as opposed to 1,2,3,4,5,6. Can the boards be swapped, or are they set somehow to be 1-4 and 5-8, or is that determined automatically by their upper or lower insertion? Any other advice is appreciated. Funds are low, so I need to keep this machine running. Other info, 3.06ghz (2 quad core) Xeon CPUs, 1tb system drive, 4 TB raid5' OSX 10.6.8 dual graphics display with 512MB (can't remember card model right now). Also, can I update graphic card in this machine? I looked at it a few years ago, but the I for I found was confusing and I never got to it. I figure I might be able to get a better card pretty cheap by now. Thanks all.
You have typed a huge list of ideas all as one paragraph with many questions in it without a single bit of white space. My eyes are not good enough to read a question, attempt to answer it, then dig through the sea of letters to find the next question.
Your writing needs white space, which gives it a peculiar overall shape, and allows a reader with poor eyesight to return to a particular spot in the text. So I will attempt to answer some parts of your query, but will be forced to do so from memory of what you wrote.
The Mac Pro uses Error Correcting Code (ECC) RAM. Eight extra bits are stored with each word, and checked when read back. Single-bit errors are detected, and the check bits are used to make a correction on the fly. More complicated errors are detected, and can cause your Mac to halt on a kernel panic to prevent bad data from propagating.
ECC RAM means your Mac can detect bad memory easily at Startup, and can declare pairs of DIMMs "absent" to avoid using them.
Contact corrosion, which was an issue with much older DIMMs, is rarely an issue with these FBDIMMs. Once re-Inserted ONCE, corrosion will not recur for a year or more.
The upper and lower Riser-cards are identical.
The FBDIMMs in these machines are subject to overheating and death. If Mac OS X or any program reports DIMMs as missing, at least one of the DIMMs in that pair has died (but since they are installed in pairs, both are marked absent). -
Question for those with memory issues on k8n neo plat
I have been having issues with my memory on the k8n neo platinum board since i built the system last month and i just recently discovered a fact I had overlooked.
I Have discovered that if i test the system while it is cool (having sat turned off overnight for example), then memtest will pass the ram just fine and the system will be stable for a short period of time, generally longer if no intensive applications are used, ie. doom3 vs. websurfing).
This system, once it heats up ( seems mostly to be the nvidia 3 nb that needs to be "hot"- that is, a probe placed in contact with the module reaches about 58+ degrees c) then the system becomes unstable and memtest, if used, fails.
Prime95, if used on it when its cool, will usually take about an hour or so to fail, but if its used on the system when its been running a bit ( temps from nb at 58c+ and memory module hot to the touch) then it fails after about 20-30 seconds.
I have placed an active hs on the nb in an attempt to correct this, but temps still remain high with failures occuring.
I have spent the better part of three days testing the sytem this way and the above facts have held true in all these tests.
I have tested at stock ratings ( not using "auto" in bios, but using "approved ratings" of 10 x 200 for fsb and timings of 2-3-3-7 for my ram at 1:1 (which is recommended as well) since i am testing for base stability at this point;Voltages have been left at auto settings, however.
I was wondering if anyone else with memory issues could try this out and post if this seems to be the case for you as well.
Perhaps the memory issues on these boards are directly related to a problem with the nvidia 3 chipset running too hot?
Does anyone have a memory issue with these boards who is using water cooling on the NB ?
Lack of issues from people using 'problem" memory, but having no failures with water cooled nb's would support my assumption.Yes i did mean chipset.
I am using a stock hs/fan from amd, which seems to run a tad hot but, considering that I wont overclock until I can get board stable, its not an issue. (runs 35-40 idle and up to 72 intensive). I need the warranty more then the extra mhz at present.
I removed the stock heatsink from the nvidia chipset and bought a generic chipset cooler (green, very little in the way of fins and seems to be aluminum) with a small fan.
I used a generic silver paste from Compusa to adhere both the cpu hs and the chipset.
I didnt lap either hs, just installed each as per instructions on artic silvers website (figured it had to go on the same way even generic).
I also bought a kingwin thermal center which i ran probes from to the cpu, case, and nb chipset.
I am not using it to adjust fans so those arent connected - its just a reference temp I can see at a glance, esp considering the funky bios reading this boards been known to give.
I assume from these responces that even a nvidia 3 250 chipset shouldnt get as hot as mine?
I asked about that from the retailer i bought this from but he seemed to think it was "ok" at 50ish celcius, but then again he didnt look too confident when he said it, lol.
Idle right now reads on Corecenter at 28 celcius for cpu and 33 celcius for the chipset, although, I have readings of 37 c and 43 c from the kingwin thermal center, which i believe to be more accurate.
My voltage reads at 11.67 for the 12v line at idle right now.
The psu i got is stick from the xblade case i bought in store. (http://www.xoxide.com/xblade2.html)
I have a dvd burner, cd drive, and two maxtor ide hd's attached to the system;The only card is the agp.
Is there a way to check and see if the cpu ispower starved? software monitor or even an external probe perhaps?
I havent put a probe on it, but the ram came in its own heatspreader, which gets very hot to the touch as well.
What temps should I be looking for on these items? -
Firefox 3.6.8 and memory issues
After the last update to 3.6.6, I disabled plugin-container per the instructions given on the forum, and my RAM problems went away. However, after the automatic update to 3.6.8, the memory problems came back, with memory usage going up to 92%. I downgraded to 3.6.4, and turned plugin-container off again; while memory usage is currently at 84%, it is not as low as it was before the upgrade to 3.6.8. (79-80%) (There is very little difference in the websites being opened on the various tabs.)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to 3.6.8ffs guys. It's a free browser. It's cool. We love it. But can we do something about memory issues? Almost every release has huge memory leaks.
How about halving the release points and focus on memory issues for the other half of the time. I am a long time user since way back in the day and it seems to me that instead of trying to release so many versions, we should be focused more fixing the current release.
I say put a moratorium on new features until bloat can be fixed. These experiences are starting to give me a hardon for IE again.
Screw new features. I can deal with plain old tabs like they are. I don't need more bells and whistles. This browser has been kicking ass and taking names for a loonnnggggg time. We don't need more bloat. Keep the security fixes coming but everything else can wait. Take a breath. Stop and smell the roses for a few weeks. -
Regarding Memory issues((error) while scheduling the job
Hi Friends
I am facing memory issue while rerunning BODS jobs in production.As we have rapid mart when jobs got failed i rerun the
job suddenly job got failed and in logs i found Memory issue
please help me what i have to do in steps
ThanksI think there is no one solution to buffer pool issue. Buffer pool issue happens due to many reasons like how you design the data flow, requirement of push down or even insufficient memory in the running environment.
You can check by checking 'collect statistics for optimization' during running the job. Also in the data flow, try changing from pageable cache to memory cache by right clicking and selecting properties. The below link give some details on caching, might be helpful.

Memory issues while fetching content
HI all,
I am using SAP KM Apis. however i am facing some memory issues while using them.
I am using getContent() api on a resource. and then getInputStream on the Icontent object. I am using a ByteArrayOutputStream for writing the data. here is the code snippet:
byte[] buf= new byte[4096];
InputStream inputStream = content.getInputStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream(1024)
while ((count = inputStream.read(buf)) != -1)
os.write(buf, 0, count);
byte[] arr=os.toByteArray();
THis code consuimes a lot of memory . we need to optimize this. we also tried removing BYteArrayOutputSteam and directly read the bytes in chunk :
int n;
do
n = inputStream.read(buf, 0,(int)content.getContentLength());
while (n != -1);
however this approach has not helped us.
please suggest an approach where memory consumption is less and the entire content is fed.
thanksHi
This code worked for me for reading from a KM res...
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
try {
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
is.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return sb.toString();
Regards

Memory issues - Bring demand paging to X6.
does anyone at nokia remember a few years ago a firmware update that added demand paging to N95 and enabled the phone to do multi-tasking properly without having always memory issues? Please bring it to the X6. It's frustating to run only one app (in this case, opera mobile) and having memory warnings always poping up... After a fresh start of the phone.
In the wise words of a famous Top Gear presenter: how hard can it be?The numbers below were constantly moving as I copied them so they're not exact but here's what task manager reported. Funny thing is that it always seems to show around 3 GB available.

Low system memory issue - caused by Mail?
While I was at work, my wife was using our iMac at home, and she said that a weird error dialog appeared this afternoon that asked her to quit applications, following which the system became unresponsive.
When I came home I found that a lot of running applications were in a hung state (unresponsive and required a Force Quit) so I rebooted the iMac.
I looked in the Console and saw that at 15:39:37 today two errors started repeating at an enormous rate - something like 5000 times per second for the next 5 seconds:
12/02/2015 15:39:36.373 Mail[226]: *** Assertion failure in -[MCSocket readBytes:maxLength:error:], /SourceCache/Mail/Mail-2070.6/MailCore/Networking/MCSocket.m:469
12/02/2015 15:39:36.381 Mail[226]: exception parsing IMAP response: trying to read/write concurrently
...then at 15:39:42 the rate suddenly decreases to only about 10 errors per second. This continued for a further 15 minutes, until at 15:55:22:
12/02/2015 15:55:22.000 kernel[0]: low swap: suspending pid 226 (Mail)
12/02/2015 15:55:22.590 loginwindow[797]: -[ProcessPanel(lowMem) initAsLoMemPanel] | Lo-Memory panel initializing
...then lots of errors like this:
12/02/2015 15:55:23.000 kernel[0]: memorystatus_thread: idle exiting pid 999 [com.apple.MailSe]
12/02/2015 15:55:24.000 kernel[0]: memorystatus_thread: idle exiting pid 1000 [com.apple.InputM]
12/02/2015 15:55:25.000 kernel[0]: memorystatus_thread: idle exiting pid 269 [com.apple.intern]
So it looks to me like the Mail app went haywire, the Mac ran low on memory, so OS X made some kind of "Lo-Memory panel" appear to handle it.
A quick search in Google Images revealed that there is such a thing as an OS X low memory error - the exact text of which is "Your system has run out of application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using". It displays a list of running apps so you can quit them. The error looks something like this:

When I showed this picture to my wife she said that is exactly what she saw.
I will report this to Apple on their feedback page. If anyone has any other suggestions let me know. Obviously something that can bring down the entire system like this is not good.There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Please note that if the cause is a memory leak, installing more memory will not help. That's likely if you already have more than 4 GB of memory. Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 and later. Some details may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, reset the printing system. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details. -
IPod Nano 5th Gen memory issues?
Hello. My iPod Nano 5th gen is great, and I've been able to use it for 2 years now, and it serves me well. Perfect condition since the day I got it. However, there are some memory issues...
First off, I have only two recorded videos totaling 1 minute and 29 seconds, so it shouldn't take up much memory at all. And I don't have any other videos on my iPod either.
Well, when I go to "About" under "Settings", then it always says that there are only 902 MB left, and it's an 8 GB. What's weirder is that it says that 6.1 GB are being used my audio, and I only have 712 songs. When I select all of the songs that are on my iPod on my PC, then it tells me that it totals to only 3.53 GB. Kinda weird, and I really need this extra space now.
Secondly, I should tell you that I don't use iTunes to syncronize my iPod. I use a third-party program called CopyTrans Manager because it's simpler, easier to navigate, and faster in my opinion. Idk what it is, but it's bothering me. Hopefully some of you can tell me where I can go to eliminate these issues and finally get my iPod back to better use and full memory.
Help me please. I don't know where to go next...
Thankee.I don't use iTunes to syncronize my iPod. I use a third-party program called CopyTrans Manager
Contact the manufacturer. Check with them to determine if the issue is with them.
