WebContent Safari using GB of memory
We have an older MacBook with 8 GB of RAM (the maximum allowed), and it is often very slow. When I check in the activity monitor, I often find a process of "com.apple.WebKit.WebContent" using a lot of memory: 1, 2 or even once 16 GB of memory.
For example, right now I see this process:
com.apple.WebKit.WebContent 1.98 GB 1.94 GB 15 267 4542 user 101.0 MB 0.2 7:12.22 4 bytes 64-0 bytes byte 0 bit 0 byte 0 0 0 | -No bytes no 0 0 bytes No Yes | 0 bytes No Yes |
Is it possible to stop the web pages using ridiculous amounts of memory in Safari?
Thank you

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?

Safari uses excessive CPU after upgrade to Sierra on Macbook Pro
Hello
After the upgrade to Sierra, I noticed that Safari uses a lot of CPU, causing the fans to be very strong. I tried almost everything that I could find on this issue, including using Firefox, but nothing has changed. Do I really need to reinstall everything?

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!

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:[Firefox is slow]]
Hope that helps.

Question about the use of the memory modules
I have a dilemma between the use of a new 1 GB memory (what I intend to buy) with more speed
and by using the 1 GB + my old 256 with less speed
which option will contribute more?Hello
The fact is that if you use 2 different memory modules with different properties (of lower performance) so the laptop can run with lower performance. This means that the 256 memory module slows down you memory. The best way is to use the same modules having the same properties.

ITunes is downloading all items purchased from my iPhone, including tv shows and movies, using all the memory and batteries, does anyone know how to stop this?
Hi anthony248,
If you don't want the automatic downloads enabled on your iPhone, follow the steps outlined in the article below, except that you will turn off the switch rather than turn them on. I'll also include a link about the storage capacity of your iPhone and how to delete items that you don't want.

Safari uses much too vivid and fails to stop smoking
Hello everyone
MacBook Air 13 inch mid 2013
OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)
Safari 9.0.2
Safari, just as BONES are to their versions of laters
Safari uses too much RAM and is unable to quit smoking (the browser crashes literally) while tying tape command-Q. She also runs slower than before despite the fact that there is no installed extensions.
The only way to quit is command + option + escape and stop smoking from there.
Please, help me to solve this problem. I have to use the browser instead of safari, chrome because it doesn, t work properly.
Any solution will be appreciated.
It's not Safari, but a problem with your computer of some sort. Maybe a file preferences or file damaged in the folder/Home/Library/Safari. Your computer has more than 2 GB of RAM? Consider the Etrecheck download and run a report. Carefully consider the results for any indication of a problem, that you need to fix.

How can I email a link to a website in Safari using El Capitan?
I just bought a new Macbook Air with El Capitan. When I'm in Safari, I would like to send links to Web sites, but the only option it gives are to send the actual page. This feature integrates the contents of the page in my email, which is useful, but sometimes I prefer to just send a link to the Web site. Older versions of Safari used to do this, so I'll try to understand what gives here, is there a setting I'm missing or something?
Any help is appreciated!

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.

Acquisition of images with 3 USB cameras causing too many uses of the memory/cpu
Dear experts,
I'm trying to capture images with 3 cameras USB, located in 3 different positions. I have to initialize each cameras using USB list vi camera when switching between cameras. I realize that, by making this method causing too many uses of the memory/cpu and can cause CPU hang up. If I stop the program, the memory/cpu counter are down.
Do you know how to reduce this problem.
Thank you

Use of FIFO memory on two areas of clock (Labview FPGA) block
Greetings!
I'm developing an application on the FPGA of the vector signal OR 5644R
transmitter/receiver. I have two loops single-cycle timed: a 40 MHz making a convolution
and writing a FIFO memory block and the second at 120 MHz (sample clock)
who reads from block FIFO memory and uses the following values
interpolation...Under what circumstances is it permissible to use a FIFO memory block to transfer
values of a loop from 40 MHz to a loop of 120 MHz (sample clock)?
The reason I ask the question, it is that the compilation of my code repeatedly of not
reported the error below:ERROR: HDLCompiler:69 - "/ opt/apps/NIFPGA/jobs/J9k7Gwc_WXxzSVD/Interface.vhd" line 193:
is not declared. I share for everyone's reference, screenshots of my code which is an extension of
sample 'Project streaming VST' given in NI5644R. A brief description of attachments is
given below...
1. "Top_level_FPGA_part1_modification.png": in a loop SCTL 120 MHz, a sub - vi bed FPGA
go a block FIFO memory... In fact, the reading is actually made when entry
"read_stream" is activated... (see details in read_from_fifo_true_case.png)
2. "Top_level_FPGA_part2_modification.png": a 40 MHz SCTL, wherein is a subvi FPGA
called to write the output of convolution to block FIFO memory.
3. "target_respone_fpga_block_FIFO_modification.png": an output of a convolution filter is
written in block FIFO memory each time that the convolution output is available...
'ReadBlockFIFO' VI (circled in Top_level_FPGA_part1) is invoked in a 120 MHz SCTL.
4. "read_from_fifo_false_case.png": when the input "read_stream' of this vi is false,
data transfer memory FIFO of block to a different FIFO ('generation filter") takes
place.
5. "read_from_fifo_true_case.png": when the "read_stream' is set to true, the data is read in
'Filter generation' FIFO and spent on the chain of later interpolation to the
120 MHz SCTL...
I hope that the attachments give enough clarity to what I'm doing... If we need
For more information, do not hesitate to ask...
Kind regards

Greetings!
I think I understand the problem... The error probably occurs because a DMA FIFO
(FPGA host) is playing at 40 MHz, and it is checked for the number of items in a loop
120 MHz... It is not captured by the "pre-processing" by the labview FPGA, but by the Xilinx
compilation phase synthesis tool.
A lesson I share, is that if you observe this kind of problem, watch if there is incompatibility
in the areas of the clock to access a FIFO...
Kind regards

How to set the use of video memory on the graphics card to my laptop cq56-110us?
Hello
I have a PC Compaq laptop CQ56-110us. Windows 7 says is has 797 MB video memory shared from the main memory of 2 GB. I want to reduce the use of video memory, i.e. 256MB. Is this possible? If yes how. I would appreciate help with this.
Thank you
Don
Don, welcome to the forum.
Built-in memory is allocated by the system. As more video memory is required, is allocated. There is no way that you can change.

My old computer which does not has RAM 1.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR @ 106 MHz (2, 5-3-3-7), while the anther computer, I bought recently has RAM DDR 400/128 bits. Can I use the old memory of the computer for the newly purchased computer. Are they compatible? Thank you
Hello nonmae,.
You must use DDR 400/128 bit RAM in your system. @ 106 Mhz DDR is quite old. It's also much slower than the DDR 400. RAM is not particularly expensive today and it is always best to stick to that suggests your PC user manual.
You must use the same speed too, if you use a lower speed, the memory of your PC by default at the lowest speed, thus slowing the PC
