How can I fix low ram memory?

OS X El Capitan

10.11.3 version

MacBook Air (13 inch, early 2015)

Processor: Intel Core i5 to 1.6 GHz

Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB

Storage: 49,68 free GB of 120,11 GB

My computer is incredibly slow most of the time. Is not an expert in this field, I google and discovered CleanMyMac 3 and downloaded because it had a good rating on CNET. While it has deleted unnecessary files, I can't say that he did a lot with the memory and the slowness of my computer. I have lots of storage. I do not use anything like Photoshop. Usually the most I do is listen to Spotify or Amazon Music (he said would not be a problem one Apple when I bought it). When my computer is running slow, I leave Spotify (not just close the window) or Amazon nearby. Often I need to open Microsoft Word with Safari while working on a ballot in permanent Contact. I tend to keep multiple tabs open in safari so I shut them down when I noticed. Often quit all applications non-Safari, including Spotify and closing all but one or two tabs in Safari still do not help. I understand that Apple solders the 4 GB to the motherboard (or whatever that it's called... I'm no expert), making it impossible to upgrade memory. What choices do I have? Help, please!

Since you can't upgrade RAM, you should minimize the use of all that is not essential so that you do not have too many concurrent processes. This is what causes the computer to get finally subdued. In addition, get rid of my own Mac. You don't need, and it's a waste of money and memory. Don't forget to use the uninstaller if she a. Removing the application removes all other files that it installs.

6 easy tips to speed up OS X Yosemite on your Mac.

Avoid using third-party software that claims to clean your computer. This software does more harm than good. In addition, you don't need it. Note that all computers become slower over time even in the normal conditions of use. Generally, the experienced users erasing the hard drive and do a clean install from scratch at least once a year or every time that the installation of a major upgrade of the OS. Well sure doing so also means that you need to maintain regular and several backups.

Add more RAM or reduce the number of simultaneously executed from applications and utilities. Remove unnecessary software such as anti-malware and that promises to clean your Mac. Look for the runaway process: Runaway applications can shorten the battery life, affect performance and increase the heat and fan acti... See also:

Before Mavericks

Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the drop process .  Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If find you a process that uses a large amount of time processor (> = 70,) then select the process, and then click the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

Mavericks and later versions

Open the activity monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select all processes in the menu display .  Click the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click the % CPU column heading twice to display in descending order.  If you find a process that uses a large amount of CPU %, then select the process, then click on the quit icon in the toolbar.  Click the force quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Don't forget to mention the name of the runaway process, so you can find the cause of the problem.

The ultimate solution

Back up everything, wipe the drive, reinstall OS X and restore your data from backup. Reinstall the third-party software of original/zero media.

    I bought one of these pc hp dc5750 form small factor that invade now right-handed ebay.  It came with only 1gig memory 80gig hardrive and processor bicoeur AMD Athlon 64 x 2 2.0GH but I can not know the socket type I think it's an am2?  I'll update my AMD Athlon II X 2 215 2700 MHz proc @ in my hp p6203w, but it is an am3 I think and I was wondering if the motherboard will accept an am3 as my another hp witch will take either.   I had also (lots of memory Samsung - 2GB (2x1GB) PC2 - 5300U - 555 RAM NON - ECC Unbuffered 240-pin) off ebay thinking they were a matched set, but when I got them one had a 1R - 8 x and the other had a part number x 8 - 2R

    I was woundering if I ran these two stick and the two 512 original supplied with the pc that are 1R - x 8 a face cards will be it atcually be able to use all 3 concerts cuase I saw a diagram that shows the configuration of two 1gigs and 2 512 in slot 2 and 3.   but he said someithing on all correspondence.  Once I put them all in the computer it says there 3gigs but I don't know if it of using everything or if Im better off just runing the two 1gig sticks or both will have to be 1R - x 8 or 2R - x 8 (it is the motherboard that has all the right to side by side 4 memory slots and not in separated couples and the other model nuber 8305-65U)

    + 1 on the suggestion of Nirmal - contact HP support, but--

    All very hit and Miss. Miss Aries matching is not a good idea and miss-corresponding to the quantity (2x512MB - 2 x 1 GB) often fails. You can get lucky and the machine will start, but the RAM performance will suffer without worrying.
    There only seems to be a lot of people who are able to run the 3 GB of RAM (laptops for most), but it's a strange configuration.
    Better to have two sticks of 2 GB and (assuming that Win7 32-bit) only have access to about 3.25 GB of that you still get the benefit of the dual channel performance.
    I have an old (built in ' 05) PC with an AMD 939 socket cpu and experimented with two 512 MB and two sticks of 1 GB (I have 2x512MB sticks all the time), the computer does not start in windows with this configuration.

    AMD made a number of processors with the Athlon 64 x 2 designation. Several are socket 939, others may be AM2. He must know exactly what processor and the motherboard to know what are the components.
    If the RAM is DDR2, there is a chance of the cpu/motherboard are AM2.

    The upgrade to a HP or other OEM PC can be a minefield that they often use a design of the 'special' motherboard (if you use the HP chipset drivers this is probably one of their 'special'), and with 1 GB of RAM and only a 80 GB HDD in a matter of form factor small with a cheap food you get what you pay for.
    Personally - you better made to buy the parts from someone like new egg (if you are in the USA) and assembled the unit yourself. Basically, you try to make a silk on a scholarship...)

    First stop typing in all capitals, as this is considered as yelling and is rude.
     
    RAM is physical memory and to increase the size of the physical memory in the computer, you need to buy more memory.
     
    There are methods available to physical memory, you have in computer programs, such as reducing the memory allocated amount to a shared video adapter, reducing the number of programs and services that are running when the computer starts, but deleting files from the hard drive of the computer will not increase the amount of available memory.
     
    This explains the difference between physical memory and memory available http://www.sharpened.net/helpcenter/answer.php?76
     
    http://www.jasonn.com/turning_off_unnecessary_services_on_windows_xp talks about disabling services (be careful here, because you may cause the computer to become inadmissible.)

    When I add text to an image that starts as a RAW file, I have no problem. When I try to add text to an image that is only a jpg file, the size of the text is extremely low. Even when I change the the font size to 72 pt, it is always small. How can I fix it?

    You set the font size to a size that is suitable for the size of the document.   Size of the document may vary everywhere.   To resolve this problem in action, I solved in scaling the document to a known size then use a font suitable for a document of this size.  When you resize an image using size with resample Images not only checked a single pixel is change everything that is changed is the DPI image resolution setting.  So if you size a picture 8 "wide you choose a font size is good for wide image 8" the Save action.  To work around the problem of changing the size of the printing I wrote a Script to use in such an action.  The script is used twice, there is a backup and restore script.   The first time that the script is used the script records the resolution DPI images in the metadata documents.  The second time that the script is executed, it retrieves the registered PID parameter deletes the record of metadata from images and set the DPI images that had been saved.    If the use of fonts for the document 8 "will be resized to fit the print original size.

    In a script, you can calculate a correct font size to use.  Actions cannot retrieve information or use logic. They need to use the Plug-ing and Script where logic is needed.  When you make using Photoshop UI you use your eyes and brain.

    Hi RIVTOM,

    ·         Remember to make changes?

    ·         Can you start in safe mode?

    The error you mentioned could be either because of incorrect settings basic input/output system (BIOS) or a faulty memory random access (RAM).

    Method 1: Restore the default BIOS settings and see if it helps. Consult the manual or manufacturer to do so.

    Note: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly.

    Method 2: If you understand and are confident the material processing of the computer, and then remove the two RAM modules, noting that slot is used for the module in which, clean the electrical contacts on the modules.

    Replace the first module (if there is more than one) take precautions attempt to restart your machine with just the module of memory installed, see how you go. Do the same with the other module (as applicable).

    What is your system brand and model?

    Do you have any type of RAID configuration with your hard drives?

    Do you experience a system crash and blue screen of death (BSOD)?

    If you are experiencing a BSOD, you think people AVAST is going to help you with this?

    Don't you think that your system has some malicious software on it?

    If you think you have an infection and can always go on the Internet, I scan with other software first, then see if you still have a problem with the configuration of the memory dump and if you do, then fix it.

    Of course things should work, but it makes no sense to try to fix something on a system where malware can hide.  Malware will sometimes afflict the debugging tools and options on your system that you can use to find and remove it.

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.
    Just to review, here's what your settings should look like for a partial memory (usually suffixient for troubleshooting the BSOD) image:
    Right click my computer, properties, advanced, startup and recovery settings.
    In the system failure section:
    Put a check mark in the box "write an event to the system log.
    Put a check mark in the box "send an administrative alert.
    Uncheck 'automatically restart '.
    In the Write debugging information section select:
    Partial dump (64 KB)
    Set the directory small dumpster:
    %SystemRoot%\Minidump
    Click OK, OK.
    Restart your computer.
    If you see a BSOD and want to see if you can fix, follow these steps:
    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:
    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).
    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.
    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.
    Download BlueScreenView here:
    Unzip it and run it (BSV installs nothing) and let him complete the digitization of all your crash dump files.
    If you double-click on depressed, you will get information on it (including the field caused by the driver) and you should be able to spot the problem right away - especially if you see a model in landfills where Caused by field pilot is the same (beginning with this driver).
    Select (highlight) one or more of the most recent dump files by clicking on them and hold down the CTRL key to select multiple files.  Try to select only the most recent links that relate to your problem (perhaps five or six to start dump files).
    Click on file, save selected items and save information from the dumps to a text file on your desktop called BSOD.txt
    .  Open BSOD.txt with a text editor, copy the text and paste it in your next reply.
    Here's an example of report ASB to a single BSOD I initiated on purpose that indicates the cause of the accident as the pilot i8042prt.sys belonging to Microsoft Corporation:

    The system has RAID? If so, it's also very suspicious.

    This error is usually a driver problem and display adapter (video) driver is the most suspicious if she
    may be others. Antivirus/antispyware/security programs, equipment (heat) and major software problems
    can also cause the error. When you get to the section of the driver to use the Troubleshoot utility my generic
    methods in the next message and then return to the if necessary troubleshooting tool.

    Have you recently added hardware or drivers updated? Don't forget to look in Control Panel - Windows
    Updates to see if all drivers have been updated it. Other donor opportunities include the antivirus/anti-
    spyware/security programs.

    When you get to the pilot and sections of the memory of the troubleshooter check the following message to
    update drivers and memory test and then return to the troubleshooter if necessary.

    BCCode: 7F 0x0000007E which is also 0x1000007E

    Cause

    SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug control is a very common bug control. TO
    interpret, you must identify which exception has been generated.

    Common exception codes are:

    • 0xc0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION indicates a memory access violation has occurred.

    For a complete list of exception codes, see the Ntstatus.h file located in theinc directory
    the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

    Solve the problem

    If you do not have to debug this problem, you must use certain basic troubleshooting techniques.

    • Make sure you have enough disk space.
    • If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the
    • Reference of the manufacturer for driver updates.
    • Try changing video cards.
    • Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS.
    • Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading.

    If you plan to debug this problem, you may find it difficult to get a stack trace. Parameter 2
    (the address of the exception) must identify the driver or function that caused the problem.

    If the exception code 0 x 80000003 occurs, a hard-coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but the system
    has been launched with the /nodebug. switch. This problem should occur infrequently. If it occurs repeatedly,
    Make sure that a kernel debugger is connected and the system is booted with the Switch/DEBUG .

    In case of exception code 0 x 80000002, the trap frame provides additional information.

    If you do not know the specific cause of the exception, consider the following questions:

    • Hardware incompatibility. Make sure all new hardware that is installed is listed in the
    • List of Microsoft Windows Marketplace tested products.
    • Service driver or defective peripheral system. A service driver or defective peripheral system can be
    • responsible for this error. Hardware problems, such as the incompatibilities of the BIOS, memory, conflicts
    • and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error.

    If a driver is listed by name in the bug check message, disable or remove that driver. Disable
    or remove drivers or services that have been recently added. If the error occurs during startup
    sequence and the system partition is formatted with the NTFS file system, you may be able to use safe
    Mode to rename or to delete the faulty driver. If the driver is used as part of the system startup procedure
    in Safe Mode, you must start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file.

    If the problem is associated with Win32k.sys, the source of the error may be a third remote
    control program. If this software is installed, you can remove the boot of the computer service
    by using the Recovery Console, and then by removing the offending system service file.

    Check the system log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the
    device or the driver that generated the bug check 0x7E.

    You can also disable memory cache BIOS may try to resolve the error. You should also
    Run the diagnostics of material, especially the scanner memory, which provides the manufacturer of the system.
    For more information about these procedures, see the manual of your computer.

    The error that generates this message may occur after the first reboot during Windows Setup, or
    Once the installation is complete. A possible cause of the error is lack of disk space for installation and system
    BIOS incompatibilities. For problems during the installation of Windows that are associated with the absence of disc
    space, reduce the number of files on the disk drive hard target. Find and delete any temporary
    the files that you do not have to have files hidden Internet, backup application and.chkfiles files that
    contain fragments of file saved to disk scans. You can also use another hard drive with more drive
    free space for the installation. You can solve the problems of BIOS by upgrading the version of the system BIOS.

  • My mouse pointer moves in the opposite direction, I intend when I use the touchpad on my laptop. It works fine when I use my docking station and external mouse. How can I fix it?

    I'm using Windows Vista with a Sony Vaio laptop.  At the office, I have a docking station with keyboard and external mouse.  Everything works fine with this Setup.  But when I unplug the docking station and use the touchpad on the laptop, my mouse pointer moves in the opposite direction, that is my intention.  I move my finger and the pointer down.  I move to the right and the pointer goes left.  How can I fix?

    Go to start /Control Panel, and then double-click the icon '' mouse. '' When this window opens, select the tab "Touch Pad" at the top. There's a box near the bottom called "Touch sensitivity", click on that. Change the settings a little bit lower than what they are currently at.
