Great use of the RAM on Macbook Pro

• Great use of the RAM in the new MacBook Air?

  It's the first time I've owned a Mac and it is currently a week. I use every day since it arrived (watching videos, using the word and research). Recently, I found my way on activity monitor, 7.5 GB of physical memory to 8 GB was in use - 3 GB of this was kernel_task. I stopped all open windows, so it is now 1.11 GB, but it still seems way too high. That said, I know nothing of what it should be, so I would like to know if this is normal? If this is not the case, what I can do to lower the kernel_task? (In addition, the kernel_task is GB 25,42 disk tab, should I worry?)

  Set apart this, nearly half of the RAM is still in use and I would like to know if it's too normal - for such a new mac.

  The system was not slowed down at all, while I use it, but if there is a problem, I would like to know before it becomes a problem. If the problem comes from the manufacturer and not how I use the mac, I of the ofc as contact with Apple.

  Features: 8 GB of RAM, Intel Core i5, 256SSD

  Yes, it's normal.  On operating systems newer, the OSX tries to use as much RAM is available for maximum efficiency.

  The new setting is the PRESSURE.  If it's Green, everything is good.  If she turns to orange or red, then there may be issues that need to be addressed.

  Ciao.

• How to check the use of the ram?

  I have 3 GB of ram on my pc, and I want to know how to check the use of the ram in xp pro? is the use of FP in taskmanager? or (k) of the kernel memory?

  I have 3 GB of ram on my pc, and I want to know how to check the use of the ram in xp pro? is the use of FP in taskmanager? or (k) of the kernel memory?

  Yes, Yes... and no. All applications on your computer uses RAM, not only the pagefile or system (kernel).

  What are you really trying to do?

  See http://www.petri.co.il/pagefile_optimization.htm , especially the part under "How Pagefile your system use?"

  You can only update if you have a version of the AppStore of Aperture - if your version of Aperture appears in the history of your purchases on the App Store. Update and then reinstalling.   See this tip of the user for more details:

• With the help of Photoshop CC on the retina of Macbook Pro

  Hi, I'm a web designer and I'll try to find a way forward by using Photoshop CC on my Macbook Pro (end of 2013).  I found the messages that say you can open photoshop CS6 "Low resolution" but I can't find the same option in Photoshop CC.  My comps of design of 200% zoom is certainly not the answer.

  Thanks for any advice that anyone can give.

• Windows XP can be updated to use all the RAM on a PC?

  Hi all

  I have a question that concerns me for centuries. Then Windows XP updated so that it can use all the RAM on a PC? The reason why I ask this is that I find a bit strange that my custom PC has a total of 8GBs of RAM but XP only can use a 2.96GBs total or 3GBs if I use one of my two video cards (currently using a GPU SLI configuration). So is one such update for XP or I'd be better off getting Win7 or Win8 when it comes out?

  If I'm not mistaken, you need a 64-bit o/s (hardware Inc.) to address more than 4 GB.

  I hope this helps.

• Use of the RAM mounted fast

  I noticed that my computer suffered a ridiculous amount of lag and saw that my memory usage was close to 98%. I cut all my open programs, other than the Task Manager, and only, it dropped to 80%. (is usually around 40-50% usage) With each program closed, the memory started increasing (1% about every five seconds) until I stop the laptop when he reached 94%.

  Just before stopping, I noticed there were a couple of process in Task Manager which seemed to raise more than 1 100 000 K of memory, but I can't remember what programs they were. I will update if I find out what programs are those that have been, unless a solution is found first.

  What processes would all suddenly eat upward of a lot of RAM?

  PC Info:

  Samsung R580, over 3 years, recently replaced hard drive two months ago.

  I don't know if this helps, but I got Vuze installed before shutdown and removed since the restart. It is the latest software that I had installed.
  If you need additional information, feel free to ask. Thanks in advance!
  Note: 1% every five seconds may not be remarkably fast, but given that it is generally stable and a much lower percentage, and considering also that I have little or no knowledge of the use of the RAM, it is extremely fast for me.

  The problem is PC-specific and can be caused by viruses and malware.

• restore the firmware for macbook pro 13 mid 2009

  Hi all! This is my first time using the support community so forgive me for any rudeness and English summary.

  I recently bought a used mid 2009 macbook pro 13 "with no disc on this subject, I installed a new empty 120 GB ssd drive.

  I asked a friend and he has downloaded and made me a usb bootable with osx on it (lion). I instaled the osx and got the macbook running successfully and it was perfect.

  I decide to update and went up el capitan wich sucessfully installed. After the update I tried it out, web navigation simple, when suddenly, out of nowhere the mac stop (much battery left and the led indicator to confirm) and has not started since... when I turn it on the led light flashes and it gives the s.o.s. beep (3 short beeps followed by 3 long beeps and then 3 short beeps) the optical drive made his usual looking noises of boot and the fan continues to spinning, I tried to remove the battery 10 minutes several times and nothing... I read a lot about the problems of ram tested with one stick at a time in the two slots and no improvement... bought a new pair of hynix 2 gb 1066 mhz pc3-8500 ddr3 sticks as recommended for this model and replaced the "old"... did nothing.

  I have no original discs just the macbook itself and the charger. Also tried to boot from the usb drive... not good... tried to start mode revovery... nothing that the black screen and a beep sounds.

  I did some research and read a looooot online and in discussions such as this apple and found it to be the sound warning for bad/corrupted efi rom (as opposed to the majority of people declaring it to be a ram issue) which needs to be restored or flashed... However, apple does not provide or at least I can't find a picture of recovery for my model cd special I know it's the macbook 5.1 (a1278 / emc2254). Is there any solution for this? Please help in some way that you can welcome suggestions!

  Thank you

  Then, you say at the end of your post, you say that it is a MacBook, but it is a MacBook Pro. Check which model you have.

• 1066 MHz RAM for MacBook Pro 2012

  Hey guys!

  Just registered here, I hope you can help me.

  I have a MacBook Pro (mid-2012) that shows the problems that resemble RAM errors. The 2012 version uses DDR3 1600 MHz modules.

  I can get my hands on a model of 2009 with the DDR3 1066. I intend to move blocks of RAM to see if that fixes the problem with the computer of 2012.

  So my question is:

  The MacBook 2012 will work with 1066 MHz RAM installed? (Provided that the RAM was the culprit, of course). If so, will there be problems other than lower performance?

  Thank you!

  Terji

  MacBook Pro are very sensitive to the Ram being the correct specifications for the computer. Your computer is designed to use only the same characteristics for RAM Why would you think clock speed of 1 066 MHz RAM work in a 1600 MHz system?

• Question of replacement for the hard drive MacBook Pro Late 2008

  Hello

  My MBP HD headed to the exit so I'll take the plunge and get a replacement SSD to install it.  Being not too tech savvie I'm trying to cover all the bases before starting the replacement so I think I'm OK to get to the old and a new one outside.

  I read that a clean install of Mac OS X is recommended.  The plan is to install the new SSD and connect the old HD the MBP for a speaker for the migration of files once the SSD has been formatted and installed operating system.  One of my questions is what OS can / should I install in the first place on the new SSD.  I have the Leopard installation disc that came with the MBP, I also have a Snow Leopard install disc I bought (this is the version 10.6.3).  Start with the Snow Leopard disc or do I have to install Leopard first?  I would get the new OS SSD up to version I'm currently on (10.7.5).

  My other question is around RAM.  As part of the upgrade, I plan to replace and max of RAM, I've seen is now 8 GB between the two slots.  I read what the maximum capacity to 8 as part of an update of the firmware.  So the question is: should I do all updates of OS before installing the RAM?  The MBP would difficult treat 8GB if the firmware update is not installed through the different software updates that will be needed once the OS is installed on the SSD?

  Advice/suggestions appreciated.

  See you soon

  J

  Replace the RAM can be done at any time. If you have already downloaded the firmware required, it has already updated your material and will not be lost when you replace the hard drive. However, according to Apple, your computer can manage only a 4 GB. I could be missing something...

  See here: MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) - technical data sheet

  As far as your OS issue, the best thing to do is get the updated software to match the information that you are migrating back (to make sure no problem with migration). The best way to do it, is to download recovery disk wizard and install it on an extra USB key. This allows you to install Lion without having to install Leopard or Snow Leopard first. This will also use disk utility to format the new SSD correctly.
