My Safari is using too much memory

I use Safari 9.1.1 on my iMac (OS X 10.9.5)...) Last week, Safari uses too much memory causing my computer to slow down and own memory has automatically free up space.  I use the same sites in multiple windows.  But it will bring my RAM available to a dangerous level of 2 MB...

Memory will make things worse. The amount of RAM is installed?

  • AVG says using too much memory because multiple firefox is open, but I only see one.

    AVG regularly analyzes in the background. Lately he has demonstrated a popup window that says multiple applications of Firefox are running and using too much memory, so I should close some. But I can only see 1. Tried CTRL ALT DEL to see if I could find the answer, but only showed 1 firefox, and that he used more than 28 000. So I think that AVG is correct, but does not know how to see what who or where they are. They DO NOT display in the lower menu on the main screen, so I guess they are in the background. Do not have the virus, and Firefox, regularly updates itself. What should I do to fix?

    Hi cmich80220.
    It is true, that you should only be able to run only one instance of Firefox at the same time. I searched but could not find someone else with a similar problem. If the problem comes back to Firefox running slowly, you can consult this article for troubleshooting:

  • Explorer.exe and svchost.exe using too much memory

    I have disabled the automatic updates after the last round of updates, and now, all of a sudden, explorer.exe and svchost.exe use too much memory... enough to interfere with other programs, I try to use.

    Help?

    Windows XP Professional - Svc Pack 3 processor: Intel (r) Pentium (r) D CPU 2.80GHz CPU speed: 2.73 GHz memory: 512 MB

    Why you turn off automatic updates?

    There are between the two options. I just set it to notify. When it is practical, I go to the Microsoft Update slte and use the custom (not Express) option. This gives the user full control of the update of trial.

    You will have a better idea of the cause of the problem using Process Explorer.

    Download Process Explorer.
    For more information about Process Explorer, see here:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/SystemInformation/ProcessExplorer.mspx

    With svchost.exe provide us a list of services using the process. There are number of processes that are using svchost.exe, so we need to know that we provide more targeted assistance. Right click on the process, click on properties and look at the Services tab.

    Solution Explorer. exe has a number of subprocesses. Select the sub-process, click Properties and check the Services tab.

    Have you recently changed all types of starting any service. This often leads to the problem. Users often disable a reflection of service to speed up the system performance. In practice what is done is of one or several programs to malfunction.

    Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

  • VI by using too much memory

    Hi all

    I am trying to write a code for pic Pic 2 dimensional on a large enough data file (about 1000 x 72000 points). The results of this should be integer values where each peak has been reduced to its maximum point for later statistical analysis (see attached code). The problem is when this code is executed, the VI quickly eat through all of the available memory and crashes. I'm under a system with 3 processors and 4 GB of ram, and the program has crashed every time after using approximately 3.5 GB, so I need to find a way to reduce the use of the memory of this VI. My VI and an example of data file is attached. Thank you.

    <><>

    First of all, read 1000x72000x8bytes = ~ 600 MB for one copy in memory is pushing it. Then you have additional copies in the two graphs.

    All your values seem to be small integers, so a U8 2D table would work just as well using 8 times less memory space.

    Then you send these massive arrays of two graphs of intensity. The number of pixels in your chart is a small part of the picture, so you will have to reduce the data to display. Graphical representation of the 72000 columns on a less than 1000 pixels wide screen is ridiculous.

  • VMFusion 3.1.3 uses too much memory 'inactive' on my Mac

    Hi all

    I have a new Mac desktop (1 month) with 8GBs of memory. I installed VMware Fusion version 3.1.3 using Windows 7, but I noticed that

    If I start melting in the morning, in the evening, I left the 880MB of memory 'Free' approximatelt - most is made by Fusion or Windows 7 which memory is allocated in the "Inactive" Mac activity monitor - I do not how many, but one much more than say 3-4GB, discovering in mind when I did not merge performs is roughly 1 GB.

    Any help please!

    :-)

    Cheers all,.

    John

    It is a problem of Mac OS X.  OS X will convert inactive memory free memory when it's in an OOM condition, but not earlier.  Of course, there is a performance hit when this happens.  If you want to control when this conversion occurs, you need the "purge" the Developer Tools for Mac OS X unix command.  If you have already installed Xcode, typing in "purge" in the Terminal should erase this memory for you after appearing to hang your computer for a few seconds.

    In my view, that the problem is with memory mapped files.  Fusion is "dirty" files and OS X is save some wear disc and write delays do not write the file until it is necessary to do so (you stop the merger, or use the command purge).

    Did you reboot your iPad after you delete projects and clips that you had in iMovie?  If the data still showing on your iPad, you can remove it by deleting the iMovie app.

    First, make a backup of your iPad via iCloud or iTunes and export all data that you currently have in your iMovie app as an extra precaution.

    Then delete the iMovie app and restart the iPad mini.  Once you have verified that the data has been disabled, you can redownload the iMovie app if you want.  Click on the links below for additional information.

    How do I Save your devices using iCloud or iTunes

    Check your storage space on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    Depending on the application, you may be able to delete its content, or to remove the app and all of its contents.

  • Svchost is using too much memory and causes other problems

    I have a strange problem. I always have a remarkable svchost process that uses a lot of memory. It doesn't bother me, if I am just browsing the web, but when I run a program so it does make a difference. Now, here's where the problems start. Sometimes I can't start even some programs while this process is running. Programs would freeze everything trying to launch and they will stay like that until I kill the svchost that takes up my memory. After I kill the process the program I already started will be complete loading, but the process killed will come back and start hogging my memory still. It seems to interfere with many things. I reinstalled windows, thinking that it was caused by a windows update, but even without updates, it is still at work.

    Let me know what information should I provide for you to help me solve this problem and I'm open to sharing.

    I have it down to a signle service.

    Multimedia class Scheduler

    It uses more and more memory until I permanently terminate the svchost run slot, then it starts again. I went the service manual and it always starts by itself.

    Hi CIVC.

    I've seen other threads with this same type of problem that it was caused by a virus/malware.  I might suggest to run a full scan with your anti-virus/anti-malware software and see if you find something.  If necessary you can also use the Microsoft Safety Scanner:

  • Update Windows using too much memory in Windows XP

    In the last week I came across many computers where windows update is slowing down the computer because it uses over 400MB of ram.  This seems to affect Windows XP.  In the Task Manager wuauclt.exe and svchost.exe are the two files involved.  When Windows Update is disabled, everything is back to normal.  If you try to update Windows via the Windows Update Web site, there is no answer.  Please tell us what to do.

  • Why firefox uses so much memory?

    For several months, Firefox has eaten memory like crazy. Once I get more than 5 tabs open or that you have Firefox running for more than an hour, the memory usage hit about a GB. If I continue to let go beyond that, it will hit 1.5 to 2 GB and it made my gel set office. I got to keep the Task Manager and every hour or so just kill Firefox and restart. Preventing it from crashing my whole desktop computer. It's definitely worse when I opened Google products, especially maps and Docs. GMail is generally OK.

    I tried to disable literally every add-on and Extension (including Flash and Adblock).

    I'm on Windows 7, I have 4 GB of RAM installed. I am on version 40.0 Firefox, but this has happened through a few updates now (I think the problem started around March or April). I also tried to back - rev Firefox and go to the latest version, that I had before the problems started, but that did nothing either.

    Chrome works fine on this machine without any similar problems - but I prefer Firefox!

  • Operating system uses too much ram

    My operating system uses too much ram I don't know why?

    as shown in the picture...

    I just open chrome bt still its with 1.2 GB of ram of 2 GB...

    I don't know what the problem...

    I quit also all unnecessary applications to windows startup...

    the problem persists...

    Help, please...

    Thanks in advance...

    Say hello to new parthcool.

    It is a normal behavior of a browser like Chrome or Firefox.  You run several tabs in Chrome?  Chrome treats each tab as a separate instance of the browser and for this purpose a separate process.  It is a good feature because it means that a hanging web page will not (usually) bring down the browser everything.  However, this means that Chrome uses a lot of RAM.

    Using intensive plugins memory within these tabs, like Adobe Flash, will greatly increase the amount of memory used.

    Here is a screencap of my own memory used within Chrome.  I did open Chrome before that and I currently have seven tabs.  This represents about 400 MB with pages containing the text for most.

    Unfortunately, because this is a consequence of the features of the browser itself, there are only a few options to solve the problem.  You can try to minimize the amount of memory that Chrome uses by following the instructions in this article.

    Your second option is to upgrade your laptop to include more memory.  You also extend the usefulness of your laptop.  If you want to go this route, I need your product number to locate the appropriate parts and information.  Follow this document to locate the product number.

    Finally, and this is probably the most effective solution, is to use the Ready Boost of the window function.  Ready Boost allows you to use Flash memory, such as a USB key, as secondary memory for your computer.  Here's a great thread in which explains how to use Ready Boost.

    I hope you find this useful parthcool; have a great day!

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.
