How to free up RAM on a Mac?

Of course, I know, you can buy more memory, but how to release without it? I deleted programs and a lot of other junk, and she has not fallen? Any ideas why? Thank you!!!

Are you talking about disk/memory? or RAM?

They are two separate entities. Deleting files from the disk (in general) will not affect the use of the RAM of the machine.

RAM is used by running applications, so the best way to free up RAM is to stop the applications that you do not use.

    Hello

    How to free up RAM memory in my macbook pro

    In the current Mac OS x versions, Apple realized that the FREE RAM is not useful for anything whatsoever. What is needed is "instantly available RAM", and they began to be implemented in a number of ways. Free-ing RAM is no longer applicable.

    Some of your RAM may be used by an element called cache. These are copies of files read previously, in the hope that you will need to see again them soon. This RAM is said to be immediately available when an Application makes a request for the new RAM. In addition, little RAM is compressed. If it is referenced, Mac OS X can decompress a lot faster than to a new reading of the disc.

    The important point to look at the activity monitor is graphics memory. If it is not green, you may have to look more carefully at how you use your Mac and its RAM. The telltale signs that you need more are using PageOuts or Swap (but these counters start at zero at the start, so if you have worked for days, some will have invariably been used).

    In Photos, select the images you want to put on the external device.

    Photos-> file-> export, and then select the external device as your destination for export.

    You can select an album (or albums) to export and the content of the album is written to the specified destination folder.

    NOTE: You can also get a Dropbox.com account, which includes 2 GB of free storage, and then export the images you want to share in the Dropbox--> Public folder and then send a link to your friends.

  • How to save a file on my mac webscan

    When you use webscan hp7610 how to save the file on my mac?

    Hi roch4t,

    I understand that you have an Officejet 7610 and you're wanting to know how to record a webscan. I will definitely do my best to help you.

    I tested on our Mac 10.9 we have here and came with the screenshot below. Once the scan is finished, I held the CTRL key and clicking on (or if you have a two button mouse, you can just right click) on the analysis and got the drop-down list, you see at the bottom right and selected open in preview. Once it has opened in the preview, I was able to then click on file and save.

    Hope this helps, have a nice day!

  • How do I download the same application Mac - Pro: two hardrives

    How to download an application even my Mac - Pro two different hardrives!

    So, how to use precisely, export to assimilate new needs...

    I think you are using the wrong terminology.  It would be useful to know the application in question.   Some applications have specific licenses to drive, some use the network adapter on the computer to monitor the conditions of authorization and some won't let you have two simultaneous copies running at the same time on two different computers.  Upload is the term used to send a file from a client computer (for example, a user of an internet provider) to a server (for example an internet provider).   If English is not your language, please indicate what it is.
