Q: RAM

I am constantly getting my RAM sucked dry to the point where I am constantly getting the beach ball.

I have a RAM app to free memory but that only is temporary fix as the RAM again is taken away slowly.

I have looked online for solutions but nothing seems to help my problem.

RAM may not be your problem. Please read this:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201464

The RAM cleaning application is nit a solution. You might download and post an Etrecheck report. It may provide clues to your problem(s).

Rid your MBP of 'CleanMyMac'. It will do more harm than good.

What is BookSmart? What happens when you close it?

What is the source of the RAM that you installed?

Ciao.

Quite a few people are reporting that Folder Actions does not work in Yosemite. You'll see that it is crashing constantly and taking up lots of CPU. You'll need to turn it off for now, until a new version brings a fix. Or investigate using things like Launch Agents to trigger events instead.

Folder Actions is a technology that triggers scripts to run when a file is added to a folder.

You can disable it by right-clicking on any folder, and selecting "Folder Actions Setup" from the Services sub-menu. That will bring up a dialog showing you want folders are enabled and what scripts they run.

Could it be the internet? I have DSL at work which is where I am and at home I have FIOS and I don't recall ever getting this problem.

I am currently using wifi and have plugged in ethernet from the router with the same issues

You still have elements of CleanMyMac. Try these instructions:

http://macpaw.com/support/cleanmymac/knowledgebase/how-to-uninstall-cleanmymac-2

You may have to reinstall it and the uninstall it to be totally successful.

I still would be interested in know the brand of RAM that you installed.

OS X is designed to use lots of RAM. Having lots of RAM in use is not a symptom of a problem. The real problem (apart from Clean MyMac) is the heavy CPU use by SugarSync and Folder Actions.

Also, note that your last backup is from November 2013.

I got rid of Clean My Mac and quit Sugar Sync. I do not remember the brand of the RAM and I don't think I had this problem outside of work.

May I suggest doing the following:

Run an Apple Hardware Test:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257

Note that an error free AHT is not definitive.

Also download and run REMBER from Kelley computing:

http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember/

Run it overnight so that sufficient loops are executed.

This may give an indication if the is some RAM issue or not.

The RAM installed is Patriot Memory DDR3 16gb 2x8gb
PC3-10600 1333MHz

I have the original RAM
hynix 2gb 1Rx8 PC3 - 10600S

The beach ball is coming up like crazy now even when I have lots of RAM.

Typing is very delayed

I will run the tests. I can always go to the old RAM if that is the problem.

Let me know about the RAM and if you think that is the culprit and what you would recomend
