Yes, do not be overly concerned about RAM usage if it there is no degradation in performanceĭo not concern yourself with the amount of “free” memory. You might try rebooting into the startup utilities and running the Disk Utility First Aid procedure. Sometimes problems with a drive can substantially interfere with applications. How does your CPU activity look when you have this problem? As Al Varnell suggested, the “speicherdruck” graph in the screenshot you shared does not appear unusual. There also is the possibility that the problem is not related to RAM. Obviously, if you are having problems getting programs to work, you have a different situation.ĭoes the problem happen immediately after rebooting your Mac? There were reports on earlier versions of Monterey about “memory leaks,” where the amount of memory taken by apps increases during use until serious performance issues occur. It is very common for people to worry about increased RAM usage in later versions without actually having a problem using their machines. ![]() Hello - Thank you for the additional information. I know about the problems Alsoft and TechTool have had with APFS but is there a modern equivalent of File Buddy? In the good old days (prior to APFS), I’d have run DiskWarrior and looked at the files with File Buddy to see what might be causing it. I’ve not found any other reports of similar (mis)behaviour, does anyone have any ideas please? sometimes the trash bin icon says there’s something in the trash, but when I open it, there isn’t anything there and I can’t “empty” it.and the weirdest of the lot, sometimes when I drag a group of mp3 files to Apple Music only some of them are added to the library, in one recent case I dragged 13 files and 10 were added, separately dragging the “missed” files to Music added them.rar files cannot be opened by keka or MacPar ![]() txt files cannot be opened with TextEdit, BBedit opens them However, I have been seeing some real oddities since the update although I cannot be certain that it was the update that caused them. I lost some printers, too, but they were easy enough to set up again. And when I do, I’ll probably get the least expensive MacBook Air as a replacement, since every model sold will be better than what I’m using now (2nd gen Core i5, 1.6 GHz, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD), and even with the minimal RAM and storage configuration, it will be just fine for what I do with this computer. I’ll probably replace this computer soon after Firefox drops support for macOS 10.12. And the only other thing I do with this computer is log in to other computers on my network (via screen sharing or SSH sessions). But since I only use this computer to create new documents or to edit documents that I created (and never with documents I receive from others), I’m not concerned. Microsoft constantly asks me to upgrade, but there’s nothing to upgrade to, because of the macOS version. I use the most recent Microsoft Office version that is compatible (16.30 - from 2019). I run the latest Firefox for my web browsing. Or alternatively, maybe open them with a web-based office package, which will only depend on your browser’s capabilities, not your Mac’s.įWIW, I still use a 2011 MacBook Air, running macOS 10.12 (“Sierra”). If you do, then you’ll need to see if there is a package you can use that is still supported on macOS 10.13 (sadly, the current version of LibreOffice requires 10.14 or later). If you’re like me, you may never receive any and therefore don’t have to care. If you use an office suite that is no longer being updated for your platform (like Microsoft Office), then don’t use it to open documents received from the Internet. For example, Firefox 112 (the current version) requires macOS 10.12 or later. So use a compatible browser that is still being kept up to date. But that really only matters for software that interacts with the Internet. The big deal is that Apple (probably) won’t be releasing security updates for these old systems. It depends on what you need to use that computer for. #1662: New Macs, 12 top OS features for 2023, vertical tabs in Web browsers, watchOS 9.5.1.#1663: Exploring the Apple Vision Pro, 12 more OS features coming in 2023, new Apple service features, Apollo shuts down.#1664: Real system requirements for OS 2023, beware Siri creating alarms instead of timers.#1665: Important OS security updates, abusive Web notifications, solve myopia with an iPhone, Self Service Repair.#1666: Air quality websites and apps, The Password Game.Work fluidly across your devices with AirPlay to Mac.
