Is it possible to manually clean the memory other than a reboot?

I find that my memory gets cluttered with a bunch of junk, even if I close all the applications and the only way to get it cleared up is to restart the system.  It seems that there should be a way to clean the memory without having to reboot.

If you are referring to the memory (as opposed to disk space) then it is normal for OS X to use all of it. Memory that is not used is wasted. It is designed to be used in this way to optimize performance.

  • Why the possibility to manually sort the files in folders has been deleted?

    Why have removed the ability to manually sort the files and folders? Having the ability to rearrange the files and folders is common sense and the need in some of my work. This removed feature cost me an hour or two of extra work that week you can reorganize all links/shortcuts in any order they wish, but to actually move files and folders around is more can be made. I would never have bought Windows 7 if I knew took it this feature away from me.

    Hi bcwups

    Whenever you ask the question 'why', the only possible answers you will get on a support forum are just speculation or conjecture.

    The only people who can answer the question are people who take design decisions, and they don't usually respond to questions here.

    If you wish to submit your comments and thoughts on the design of Windows 7, you can use the following online feedback form.

    Windows 7 comments - talk us at Microsoft

    There are places you can go to get some insights into the 'why' of individual decisions are made. Many Microsoft Windows developers have their own blogs where they publish articles that are sometimes very transparent and revealing. Here is a link to the parent for these items.

    Home - MSDN Articles

    Another good resource is the blog that Windows developers used during the beta of Windows 7. If you look at the archived articles, (more than 60) they described the 'why' of a large number of features that have been changed/added/removed from Windows 7.

  • Is it possible to manually select the images that you want imported from the camera?

    original title: SLR digital import question

    is there a way to choose which images get imported when importing images from my Canon t2i to my laptop? most of the photos on my camera have been imported already and filled my hard drive, so I transferred to a portable hard drive to expand the memory and allow for me to continue to load/save my photos. I want to download only the pictures at the end of my memory chip, essentially without having to wait a long time for the other 300 + pictures to import the big file for each and the jpg version, accompanying all over again because they are mostly high-quality... (I keep the actual chips with pictures on them as a backup (have not printed on most of the photos I had even for albums, etc. so I don't want to lose anything by deleting after you import each time, because they are all the memories with my husband and 2 children..))

    ===================================

    Something to try...

    Connect the device to your PC via a USB cable and turn
    on the camera... If open windows... Close them.

    According to... to... Start / my computer... the camera can be
    listed as a drive letter...

    If_yes_right click on the drive letter and select... Explorer or
    Open... This should display the directory of the memory card.
    You can copy and paste or drag and drop the files from there to a
    folder on your hard drive.

    (The same steps work if you have a media player...
    When you go to... Start / desktop media slots...
    Drive should be listed under... "Removable disk" with a drive
    letter.)

  • BlackBerry Smartphones can you change the sounds (other than ringtones)?

    My curve has many sounds pre installed and I am able to add more and change ringtones until I'm blue in the face... but what about all the notification of sounds that have been pre-installed?  I don't see any way to use them.  For example, the notification tone when I receive an SMS or a BBM: which is editable?

    Thank you, all!

    Absolutely:

    1. Select the profiles icon

    2. a box will appear where you can quickly choose between Loud, vibrate, quiet, normal, phone only, and outside. If you like quick-change device profiles and select the one you want and get out.

    3. If you want to change the tones assigned to the applications in the device, and then select the last option, advanced options
    (some older models and 'Advanced' OS 4.1 and below will not step - so advanced is not present go directly to step 4 below).

    4. Select the profile you want to change. (Loud, vibrate, quiet, Normal (default), phone only, Off)
    Note: on the 8100, 8800 and 8300 models: do not click on the trackball. Instead of this, click on the menu button to the left of the trackball).
    Note: The profile that is in use will tell: (active)

    5. you will now see a list of all applications that can have an assigned tone (browser, calendar, level 1 Messages, Messages ([email protected]), Messenger, MMS, phone, SMS, job ect..)

    6. Select the application you want to change the tone / notification for

    7. you can now edit the tones of the case and Holster / notifications.
    (a) select between: none, Tone, vibrate, vibrate + tone
    (b) select the range that you want to use
    (c) Select Volume (the options are mute, low, medium, high, climbing)
    (d) to select the number of beeps (the options are 1, 2, 3)
