Memory and Yosemite
« on: October 22, 2014, 06:18:45 PM »
Hi Stu and Cat Family
 Since upgrading to Yosemite 10.10 The Cat is now running aound 660 MB's of memory and has been as high as 926 so when it got that high a restarted the Cat and it is back down to around 660 MB before up grading it ran around 525 MB
Is anyone else seeing this?


cheers

Hi stu
 read what you posted over at Blick's
Since I posted earlier  Activity Monitor says I am up to 693.4 MB


But Edouards WC Station Console says my memory is only 503 MB


Could this be an OS mistake?


Will keep an eye on it an report back later


cheers

Memory data consistent under Mavericks (Re: Memory and Yosemite)

Howdy Randall, Stu, and WeatherCat memory managers,

Since I posted earlier  Activity Monitor says I am up to 693.4 MB


But Edouards WC Station Console says my memory is only 503 MB

WC Status Growler makes a call to the old UNIX command top to get the memory data.  I just checked, the latest OS X man page for top is still Mavericks, so that suggests that top hasn't been changed under Yosemite.  I double-checked and on Mavericks Activity Monitor and top agree.

Unfortunately, there may be "issuez" with Yosemite that go beyond the one Stu found.  I upgraded to the latest iTunes for Mavericks and I'm starting to regret it.  iBetterCharge is now broken and iTunes no longer recognizes either my iPhone or my iPad.  I followed the Apple recommendations in this case:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591?viewlocale=en_US

No effect.  Since the only change I've made it to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes . . . . . . *Heavy Sigh* . . . .   :(

Oh well, . . . . Edouard

How many windows do you have ope, Randall? I have eight including the log and see 397 MB of RAM use. I noted earlier that I was seeing about 100 MB higher usage for WeatherCat after updating to Yosemite.
