Yosemite the memory hog
I installed Yosemite today, and I love it! However I went into the activity monitor and found out that I was using 7.96gb! Is this a common bug? How can I fix it?
It's not a bug. Yosemite like Mavericks takes over as much RAM as possible to make it easier to manage memory allocations. it's quite normal.

hi all,
i have an application that is kb's in size but takes 70 mb of memory when it runs. the application is just a basic swing application that has nothing special. i am developing on an sgi irix system. could someone brake down what swing components takes the most memory. does anyone know of a good memory debugger for java. how would i run down what is taking so much memory. any insight into this problem would be much appreciated.I was making a simple application of a similar description.
I found my problems were my use of Strings .
within tight loops I set the string's variable to null at the end .
I set all strings and objects to null after they are used so that they could be picked up by java's garbage collector.
I noticed no more memory problems. -
MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.4 running hot and slow. HP file is hogging all the memory
My MacBook Pro (late 2011, core i-7) running OS X 10.10.4 is running hot and very slow with the fan screaming . Activity Monitor shows a process called com.hp.devicemodel.TransportProxy is hogging almost all the memory and very high CPU activity. How can I get it to stop. Force quit will not shut it down. I would delete the file, but don't know where it is. Can someone please offer some help? Thanks, Tom
Try to uninstall all HP software (should be in Macintosh HD/Applications/HP folder It should have an uninstaller within that folder. My computer settled down just as soon as I finished the uninstall. Went back into the system preferences and reinstalled my printer and everything seems OK now. Hope it works for you.

OS X Yosemite Safari memory usage
Safari's memory usage under Yosemite continues to increase until system stalls due to paging. The memory gets to about 60G before the stall. Also, the process SafariDAVclient exhibits the same behavior. This started after I reinstalled Yosemite. Reinstalled again, no better.
Anyone have a solution?

Photoshop CC is a Memory Hog ... I have 4GB and PS CC is the only thing open my ram drops to like 895mb free...
Definitely more RAM would be ideal -- but only useful with a 64-bit OS. You can adjust the amount of memory the OS will allow PS to use in Photoshop Preferences > Performance if you need to work with the system config you have and need ram allocation change to help with performance problems with PS or other applications.
You might find this article of interest (written for CS6 but should generally apply for CC).

I have an iMac OS X ver 10.7.5. Processor speed is 3.06 GHz intel core i3, and the memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz RAM. My online banking app is being updated and requires OS ver 10.8 or newer. When I ask for available updates, the system says there are none available. How can I update my system to ver 10.8 or newer to accommodate the new banking app?
You can update directly to Yosemite (for free) through the App Store (this is 10.10). Make sure your existing applications will run on this OS.
If you wish to stay at 10.8, you can order this through the online Apple Store (it's $20), and they will email you a redemption code to be used on the App Store.

Since installing Mountain Lion, my IMAC has been running slow at times due to low memory (like 20 Mb free...) issues. I have 4 Gb of RAM installed. Activity Monitor indictes that my HP 309A printer is hogging up to 2 Gb of memory! My software is all up-to-date. When I quit the Inkjet 4 process (in Activity Monitor) everything goes back to normal. The "Memory Cleaner" application also frees up memory. Any help that could be provided would be appreciated!
Ps - apps such as "Memory Cleaner" are totally unnecessary. Any memory held in an inactive (blue) state has been previously used by an application, but is now available for use for any application that needs it. If the original application is re-launched, it will operate more quickly for having its data already in RAM.
It's a misconception that you need to have a huge swathe of free (green) RAM for your system to operate well. Free RAM is not being used at all and is wasteful. Provided your total free + inactive RAM is sufficient for any programs you wish to run, the system should be fine.
Also, don't pay attention to the "VRAM" amount in a running process - that does not reflect the true amount of RAM used from your total.

I recently read in this forum that "Safari is a memory hog". Exactly how do I determine now much memory Safari is using? Does the amount of memory used increase with usage or over time?
Any help/infor would be much appreciated.

Oddly, I don't really see that on any of my systems. What I do see is an occasional site that causes Safari to go nuts, using all available memory. I've seen that today on the Washington Post opinion pages. Not the opinion home, but if I go to any of the columns themselves, my memory gets maxed out, with Safari using >90% of available memory.
Strange...

OK, I'm strongly considering the low end MBP Retina, my dilemma is 8 vs 16gb memory especially since they can't be upgraded later. I'll be doing some photo & video editing on an enthusiats level, not pro or particularly savvy amateur BUT, it appears Mountain Lion is a memory hog.
Any feedback or suggestions appreciatedLion was a pretty big memory hog. I would highly recommend it especially if you are planning on keeping the machine for more than 2-3 years as at that point the machine will probably be falling behind because newer operating systems will most definitely require more ram than current ones. Lion will load as much as it can into ram so I would highly suggest it!

Is it just me or is Photoshop CS2, including the Bridge, a terrible memory hog!!
"384MB of RAM to run any one creative application with Adobe® Bridge
and Version Cue® Workspace
Additional RAM required to run multiple applications simultaneously
(512MB to 1GB recommended) "
By the way, are you using the Photoshop SDK, a programmer tool? If so,
please focus the question so the people here know how you are using
it. If you aren't using the Photoshop SDK, I recommend asking in the
general Photoshop (Windows or Mac) forum.
On the list of forums in http://www.adobe.com/support/forums.html the
general Photoshop section, for Windows or Macintosh, is called "Adobe
Photoshop® & Adobe ImageReady®", 5 lines up from Photoshop SDK.

Safari 5 hogs memory up to a point where it slows down the whole system and provokes freezes by the dozen -- on my system with 4 GB of RAM no other software is as often "unresponsive" as Safari.
Safari's memory usage starts with about 150 MB real memory (plus the same amount in virtual memory) and after some browsing gobbles up to 1 GB (Firefox and Chrome never exceed 120 MB). Then all other open programs as well as the Finder slow down to a crawl.
I haven't installed any plugins or extensions other than those loaded with the standard Safari installation. I use ClickToFlash to avoid Flash content. And I also go regularly through all the motions like permission repair, cache emptying (which I do several times a day), Onxy etc.
The only remedy currently is optimizing the memory with the iFreeMemory utility (recommended!!!).
I'm amazed that nothing has been done in to solve this problem in Safari 5 although this is a known issue since Safari 4.I experience this memory problem too, but since a few days only. I never registered Safari using that much memory before, however it managed to fill my whole 4 GB of RAM several times in the past days.
I tried to apply the classic advice you get in online forums, like permission repair and cache emptying, but these measures could only delay the problem. Deactivating the extensions "adblock" and WOT didn't help.
Moreover, I originally bought a mac in order to not need to do such work anymore...^^.
Is there any further advice available on this subject, else than getting back to using firefox (I really like the speed and appearance of safari)?
Thank you in advance. -
Slow after Yosemite + 100% Memory Pressure
I upgraded my Mac Mini 2012 to Yosemite and it is running slower.
The CPU load is very low (2-4%), but almost all of 8GB total memory is used by the system. The memory pressure bar shows completely stretched out.
Your help is appreciated.
MAC MINI SERVER (LATE 2012), OS X Yosemite (10,10.1)Thanks KiltedTim! That is a great article. Per the article:
"Swap Used means data is being transferred to and from your hard disk and RAM. It’s ok if this value is small (<100 MB) and it will never be 0, but a high value indicates a memory problem."
Mine shows 562 MB. Per the article, this indicates a memory problem.
Other values are:
Physical memory 8GB
Memory used 7.18GB
Virtual memory 12GB
Swap used 562 MB
App Memory 4.1GB
File Cache 812MB
Wired Memory 1.08GB
Compressed 1.26GB -
Receive an Application Error (The memory could not be "read") when opening
After I install Itunes the program works ok until I close it and try to reopen. When I do this I receive an Application Error that says:
The instruction at "0x6686f183" referenced memory at "0x0fccc094". The memory could not be "read".
Click OK to terminate the program
Click CANCEL to debug the program
Debugging does not work so the only solution is to uninstall Itunes and then reinstall. That again only works for one use of the program. As soon as I close it and re-open, I get the same error. Please HELP. I cannot waste any more time uninstalling and reinstalling.
Sony Windows XPTry this: Turn off automatic Microsoft/Windows updates and reboot your computer. I saw this a couple of weeks ago on the forum.

i have a mac mini mid 2011, this device have; 2,3GHz and 2 Gb Memmory.I want to upgrade the memory and i need the list of supported memory modules. i am from turkey.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Mid 2011 Mac mini supports 8 GB of memory officially, but you can install up to 16 GB of RAM, so you can use 2, 4 and 8 GB modules. You can buy more RAM from OWC or Crucial.
If you are looking for memory at a local shop, make sure you buy 1333 MHz DDR3 memory. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4432?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
