MacBook Pro :: Page Ins And Outs - VM Size Is Too High
Jun 30, 2014
I just recently upgraded my Macbook Pro 2012 from 4gb ram to 8gb ram from crucial. And I was wondering what is this "page ins and page outs" and i saw it's already above a gigabyte on both pages, the swap used is very big, it's 2.35 gb, and my VM size is 304 GB!!! Should I worry about these numbers on my mac why are they too big? and what are some ways to reduce this "page outs & swap used." (Btw, there's only 20% left of my 500gb hard drive and I always use big apps like Logic Pro X and 9.1.8 and I always play dots 2 here on my mac.)

i have a 2010 15" MBP 2.66 ghz i7, with 4 GB ddr3 1066 ram, 500 GB 7200 rpm HDD, and the nvidia GT 330 M gpu. I tend to get down around 30 MB of ram when i am running Starcraft 2. I do not understand what pages in and pages out means. Before i started SC 2 it was like 50k + pages in and 0 pages out. After running SC 2 for like2 hours i have 150k+ pages in and 100k + pages out.I am pretty sure i just need to add some more ram but i would like to know what these mean so i can better monitor my system.

I have been having some sluggish performance recently and I'm guessing it could be something to do with memory allocation. I have been reading a few things on this board and have found that page ins/outs can have an effect on performance (although I'm still not entirely sure what it all means).
I have closed all my applications except for my browser and the activity viewer to see what is going on. My page readings on the system memory page state:
Page ins/outs 182139/247702.
I have read somewhere that if you have more page outs than ins then you have a problem. Therefore my questions are:
a. Is this actually true and what do page in/outs actually mean?
b. I currently own an eMac 1.25ghz with 512 RAM, running OS 10.3.5.

I have a unibody 13" Macbook and I just put in 4gb ram today. I noticed today that my VM size is 70.14GB. This doesn't seem normal to me... is it? If not how can I get it to where it needs to be?

Macbook Pro 17" Text size issue with High Resolution screen. Just got a Macbook Pro 17 that I love except for one thing - text size on many programs. I understand the reason for it and I did not want a 15 inch as I tend to work with multiple programs at once. I am not tied to an office so that rules out buying an external screen, So I have been trying to find solutions that makes working with in different programs less of a strain on my eyes. Here are some of the workarounds I have found to programs I use and programs that I have had no luck with. And please it is not a problem with eyesight as this seems to be a common problem for many owners. I like to sit well back from my screen not 2 inches away! Address Book Set the font size to large in preferences
Mail. This is the big one. It is easy to set the default font to a larger size and that helps with incoming mail. Or you can add a small/larger button with the customize toolbar option but there is no fix for outgoing mail. I write a lot of mail so by the end of the day I am squinting and I do not want to send all my mail in jumbo text. Here is the only fix that I found that I like. In terminal (in utilities) put in the following......................

Comp has been running really sluggish lately, hard time running safari with a few tabs open, fan runs at max speed 24/7 and everything takes a long time to load. Took it to genius bar, they checked some hardware, and recommended I basically format and start over.. I don't want to do that. I have a macbook pro, 2 gig of ram. Noticed that the vm size is like 130 gig, page in - 300mb, page out - 1.6mb. I typically don't run anything but safari/firefox, adium, itunes, movie players etc. I've been told that, those programs don't require that much ram, but do I need to upgrade to 3 or 4 gigs?

I've noticed when I create a PDF of a webpage using Apple's built-in "print to PDF" the files are very small, but the quality of images is not high resolution. I have some webpages I want to save in high resolution, is there a way to do this with "print to PDF", or do I have to use Adobe Acrobat or some other software?

I am creating a digital album booklet for a band I manage, basically I took a high res photo and type the lyrics of each song over it, then added additional pics, the booklet is roughly 33 pics. I am using Photoshop and saving each file as a PDF, I then plan on combining them all at once. I know there has to be a better way to get this done. Right now each photo is roughly 3.3mb, that's way too big! How do I get the size down?

I have a Mac Pro with a 23 inch cinema attached. I want my applications to be full size. I drag the right hand corner down and it goes full size BUT as soon as I change a page within that application it goes back to almost max (just above the dock. Its as if the dock is pushing the page higher. When I click on the minimise and then click to open it opens again at almost full size just above the dock. When I click on the green resize maximise button it goes back to where it was and stays there.

How can safari remember a zoomed in web page? I like to the fill the entire screen with the page then zoom in as much as possible for easy reading. I find this is very helpful on a 13" screen.

I'm using Comic Life to write a graphic novel. I'm having trouble formatting the page to the same size as some reference books I'm using (Watchmen, a couple of other paperbacks the same size). I have computed the page format size based on the 72 pts per inch to what appears to be the standard 10.25 x 6.625, but when it prints it's significantly smaller.
I realize I need to create the book in a format size that will be available with the book on demand printing I anticipate using- The Watchmen book appears to be roughly 10.25x 6.625, the size listed on Lulu for Comic book size. How to set up comic life page to be same size?

With Lion, my Safari pages suddenly double in size with a slight movement of my mouse. Also, with Lion, when I leave my iMac for some period of time, the pages freezes and the cursor point pixilates when I move the mouse. I have to turn off the computer and put in my password to restore functions.

I'm looking for a hardware solution for my mid-2010 MBP w/ 2-4 audio outputs via USB or Firewire. On the software side, I want to have multiple media players open and playing simultaniously, but each output separately. I was told m-audio makes devices that allow this, but I am curious which may be the cheapest with this capability - or alternate manufacturers.

MacBook

My MBP listed in my signature is having keyboard drop-outs fairly regularly even after a reinstall of OS X so my best guess is it needs replaced. Anyways, back in the fall I had a friend of mine (who is an Apple certified tech) install a 500GB 7200rpm drive in my system. Now, if I send my system to Apple, will they complain that the drive is in there and not replace the keyboard/topcase if they see that a new non-apple marked hdd has been installed? Would it be best too see if this friend will take out the 500gb drive and re-install the original 200gb drive?

Ive been having some issues with my monitors going black during working, it happens on the mac side but more often on through bootcamp running windows 7.
It also has been getting a frozen start up screen at the apple logo. All the times it does start up i do hear the start up chime. I have tried to reset pram and smc but that does not seem to solve the problem, Ive also run a check using techtool pro v6 and it has come up with no issues.
Ive recently upgraded my graphics card to the nvidia quadro 4000, ive read the issues with card in the past but since the lion release its become better supported i thought not sure if thats the problem or something with the mac pro itself, i have updates the cards drivers for both windows and mac. Im currently running 3 OS, OSX 10.6.8, Lion and windows 7 (bootcamp)
My system specs are
2.66 GHz 6 Core
11GB
nvidia quadro 4000
20-inch cinema display / 23 LG

OK, I'm running OS 10.7.4. After downloading the latest version of FireFox (12.0), I started experience extremely frequent timeouts in loading pages.
So, I launched Safari. Same thing happened. Reloading the pages doesn't seem to work in either browser.
Checked with the ISP. Download and upload speeds were within acceptabe ranges.
The only common denominator seems to be the OS. The other major thing is that streaming video will start, but after about half a minute, it hangs and will not reload. I also have the latest Flash Player.
Also running Sophos Free Antivirus, recently downloaded. It's also pretty slow launching Finder. All around I get lots of beach balls. I know it's enticing to blame something other than Lion, but Lion seems to be the only common denominator.

I am running iTunes 11.2.2, which I assume is the most recent download.
During playback of songs in iTunes I get momentary audio drop outs or interruptions of songs. They happen once every 45 seconds or so but it varies, and they are not consistent from playback to playback (they happen at different times in the song when the song is played multiple times).

How does the Antiglare screen look? Does it look cheap and flimsy like the matte screens on the pc laptops?This is my first Mac and i'm looking at going all out and getting the top of the line 15". I know I definitely want the HD screen, i'm just not sure which screen looks better. What about a 5400 vs 7200 rpm hdd? Is this upgrade worth it?

In short, we got a new Mac Mini on Friday. I hooked it up to the wireless keyboard/mouse from the Dell dimension 2400 we are replacing. It seemed okay at first but developed issues the first day. Intermittent mouse drop outs, and loss of internet being the worst symptoms. I am thinking of ditching the Mini and getting something else.
