Too much to handle-Help!

I have a desktop imac with the following specifications:

OSX ver 10.9.5

Intel Core i7 3.4HHz

Memory: 8 GB at 1333 MHz DDR3

My problems are:

1. Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, Excel take a long time to get on my screen.

2. I also get the message that I ran out of memory for the application.

3. I have to restart my computer in other applications, because I get the color wheel.

4. I thought I erased everything related with Norton, but I always get a reminder to renew whenever I start.

I hope that's not too much, but I appreciate your comments.

Thank you

2. I also get the message that I ran out of memory for the application.

Maybe it's the origin of many of your problems.

There could be 2 causes.

(1) your startup disk is out of space, and OS X can create is more / var/vm/swapfile (s)

(2) the collection of processes that are running on your system has requested more virtual memory that OS X is ready to handle.  This happens usually when there is a leak of memory in a program.

You should start with Applications-> Utilities-> Activity Monitor and watch your memory usage.  I hope over time, you will notice that one of the applications consume much more memory than anything else.

When your system is starting to exhibit slow performance, but it is still able to do something, run EtreCheck and then after the release in response to this forum.  It is important that you expect from your system approaches of the State where it is either going to give the out of memory performance or the application only allows you to run anything.  If you post the production of EtreCheck of a freshly booted system, it will be not as useful as the system in trouble.

https://discussions.Apple.com/docs/doc-6174>

You can conduct an experiment by starting in safe mode

http://support.Apple.com/kb/ht1564>

Safe mode does not load 3 additions of party, so if they are the problem, you will not see the same performance issues.  HOWEVER, safe mode loads some much more conservative drivers, and the Mac cannot perform fast and have a few flickering screen.  But if you can live with that period of time where a system booted normally would start to misbehave, safe mode could give you an indication that it is 3rd party additions.

In addition, EtreCheck will show 3rd party additions, including any residual Norton Utilities that hang around.

The forum long term contributors is discouraged unnecessary utilities unnecessary anti-virus Mac apps cleaner and useless apps expanding.  It has been our experience that all contribute to the performance of OS X problems and in some cases of the core OS X gets crazy.

Another thing you can do is watch the Applications-> Utilities-> Console app for frequent of the journal entries, as a process that starts, dies, starts, dies, starts, dies, wash, rinse, repeat.  A dying like that process can consume a lot of resources, but do not appear in the activity monitor, neither an EtreCheck report.

  • Initial window size too much HTML (.chm) help

    I was wondering if anyone knows how this problem - my .chm initially opens in a window that takes my entire screen (sometimes its opening as a stand-alone .chm and when you access the application with which comes the .chm). The initial window size is much too big, forcing me (and end users) to reduce the window manually (I have to shrink even just to see the Add button under the Favorites tab). I checked all the settings window in the pod project... windows sizes are smaller than what the .chm initially displays and I see all of the options I selected or not selected that would what be it (I tried a few things that you can imagine).

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  • I get script error java application "too much recursion" and they come in 4. This happened after the upgrade to firefox

    Hello

    I've recently upgraded to firefox 35, after this upgrade, whenever I log on tumblr, I get this "java script application error too much recursion" and they come in 4 (I have to click on each one on top of the other). I am able to connect and do my normal stuff, but whenever I move to another page inside of tumblr, the same java script error appears and I have to click again to make them disappear.
    This seems to happen only on this website (tumblr).

  • Using too much CPU only when loading the network

    When FF works closely with the network (wired or wireless) card for access to the network, CPU utilization spikes in way more than 70% and he stayed there until the page loading process finishes web.
    After the upload is complete, the CPU usage remains somewhere between 5-10%.

    When I look at clips youtube 1080 p, where FF is duty next buffer part of this clip I watch, new CPU use peaks above 70% with the flash plugin and gives a total of a 100% of cpu for a few moments and use which make this clip to stop playing or to frame bad times, and ties.

    I have been activated in about: config webgl acceleration to activate the force and that much improve the initial problem, then I activated gfx.direct2D - activated force and also to improve the problem remaining.
    I also disable the safe_mode parameter file adobe flash config protectedmode = 0.

    I have to mention that the initial problem was way to bad ... 
    

    Now I get to point when I don't know what to do so that FF does not use much CPU loading pages.
    As you can see I use to publish this version of Nightly 64 bit (I think it's the 64-bit version...) which is much more better and I would like to read youtube 1080 p clip normally, after that I have wait a few moments to buffer, before starting to play.
    Version 32 bit FF won't let me watch YouTube without framing hurt when the clip is buffered.

    I was monitoring the Task Manager and all the processes listed... and there, I can't blame antivirus or firewall to the peaks of the processor. Also if I do the rest of the network traffic, as well as inside the network custom CPU even file copy flinch.

    Can someone help or give an opinion on what setting to do, so I can eliminate these spikes?

    Thanks in advance!

    Problem solved partially:

    I have observed that the CPU spikes occur not only while I use FF or mozilla nightly, but on all web browsers (Chrome, IE, Opera, etc) that I have used, while these browsers accessing the network.

    Uninstalling the firewall of the solution of the AV portion has helped a lot and by also disabling the bed in the firewall solution of W7, but for long term use, this isn't the right answer (for my at least). Without any firewall FF work or installed works like a charm, while the CPU usage is increased at a decent level of 50% max (total tasks and running services)!

    Anyway, as I said earlier, my pc without any firewall operation is not a good think to do, so I'll replace my computer with a faster, or I'm going to overclock it at a level that zapping INTERNET and navigation will not infringe too much on the performance of the system, or... I live whit it and I accept the limitations...

    Perhaps, in the development of the FF, programmers will keep in mind that not everyone on this planet has powerful processors - and... give a few options... to decrease the CPU at acceptable levels, event, even if they use the firewall solutions that violate on the CPU while FF is buffering of data across the network.

    I should also mention that Mozilla nightly (64-bit) and FF, are always better then IE - in my opinion - which is.

  • 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:

    Hope that helps.

  • Saving App Apple Watch activity too much exercise?

    My Apple Watch has problems with the application of the activity. When I got to watch it took plenty of exercise and the effort to fill the ring of exercise of 30 minutes, to the point where I thought there was something wrong with her lol

    Since the first update last year, it's completely the opposite now. He recorded a lot too much exercise. For example; Today it is said that I did 83 minutes of exercise and I didn't exercise. I have been active, but only in a market autour, shopping etc. of passage kind. But according to the watch I did almost a value of an hour and a half of exercise.

    Is there a way can I fix? I calibrated it and did 2 x 10 minutes walk with my phone in my hand etc... Services of location and movement etc is on... I did several hikes to bike with it too... I just looked at the watch again, and I did 3 minutes more exercise that I write this lol heart rate is normal etc. I don't know what to do?

  • Satellite 4030 has much too much memory embedded - 66 MB not 64 MB

    Hi all

    I have a 2nd Satellite 4030 user who has far too much memory shipped! [66 MB not 64 mb]
    The maximum allowed to my machine is Total = 312 mb.

    I added a 256 MB stick in slot 1 memory to the supposed 64 MB on board & it does not start.
    I put back the original 128 MB & started stick & apparently, I have 66 MB of RAM?

    Adding to this 66 MB 256 = 314 MB! 2Mbmb more than max allowed.
    I tried 2 different sticks of 256 of ram to my other laptop Toshiba & still no boot [prove it is the amount of ram?]

    Am or work around for this I stuck running on only 192 MB?

    Help K Morton

    Hello Morton

    This is a very stupid situation. That I can see, nobody has written anything in the last 3 days and to be honest, it is not easy to say why this happens.

    I don't really have experience with these cases, but maybe you can try to update BIOS. Check Toshiba support page and try to update BIOS. Maybe BIOS values will be refreshed, and after that the memory will be displayed as it should be.

  • Sampling rate - too much data points

    Hello community,

    I use a sensor signal strength of pressure on DAQmx labview through 2014. My rate from the hardware synchronization function is 50 KHz. The samples per channel of timing and read screws are the same set to 5 Khz when the channels are a continuous sampling. The problem I'm having is that when I run labview for a few seconds, say 5 seconds, I'm half million points of data. I tried to run for 10 seconds and points were more than a million where it is difficult to analyze. I think that the vi generates too much data points and the buffer is large. Am I wrong? Can you please help me solve this problem?

    Kind regards

    Mike

    You are now ready to learn a little of the power of LabVIEW and data flow programming.  LabVIEW is an inherently parallel language - two loops can run independently and in parallel, allowing you to make time-sensitive (such as sampling data) and a lot of time (such as data logging and tracing) at the same time, using queues to pass data between the loops and ensure the buffering required.

    If you open LabVIEW and click on the file menu in the toolbar, and then select new... (the points are important!), you will be able to create new ones (VI) from the model.  Choose a Framework, Design Patterns, producer/consumer Design Pattern (data).  It's what you want to do.

    You basically set up a "pure DAQ Acquisition Loop" (without logging TDMS) as producer, creation of 5000-element arrays of data every tenth of a second (if you are sampling at 50 kHz).  You create a queue of data outside the loop of producer whose elements are an array of 1 D of waveforms (the output of your Read DAQmx) and instead to send the data to a waveform graph, you put it in the queue.

    You are under this loop, a parallel loop that gets the same queue and remove items.  This loop will be sitting idle (no time taking CPU) until the data is queued.  He then it takes away the poster and registers (logs) in a PDM file.  Either way, you should open the TDMS file before entering this loop (consumer), write to the file inside the loop and close the file when the loop exits.  Study the example of the VI, you create with the model and see how it works.

    The beauty of this is that you can certainly 'keep up' with the writing of the data points in a TDMS file to 50 kHz.  You might not be able to display all the points, but there is nothing to prevent you from data processing (by, say, decimating or "block average" it) to a more 'user-friendly' display (your eyes ' sees' a 50 KHz signal?) -you have a set of 100 msec prior to the next package arrives in the queue.  Also note that the loop of producer probably takes very little time CPU - most of the time the material is waiting for its clock to 'tick', collection of points in a buffer, then transferring to the loop.

    Now you can have your cake and the computer display, too.

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

    the problem persists...

    Help, please...

    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!

  • Too much Mouse Move event queues events

    I have a VI that I want to be able to move the scroll bar and then update the graphic cursor position corresponding as I do on different orders.  I meet a problem after removal of the scroll bar on a thumb, where he seems to be pulled and give too much mouse move events and it failures of the program.  Any ideas on how to avoid this an average mouse move samples of the event or something?

    Without looking at your code (do not have LV12 on this machine) I'll take a wild guess that you have locked the façade on the mouse move event.  Try to uncheck it and see if that helps.  Phase II should be faking a loss event queue, but usually, I don't have to do unless I do something really slow in response to an event.
