i remember that there's been times where email clients had huge memory leaks. sparrow fell victim to this. i'm not sure about mail.app though.
does your istats indicate anything? make sure all of your apps are up to date, as well
if you have alfred with the powerpack, you can try: >purge
that will run the terminal command to free up some memory

I read this and didn't understand what you were saying after alfred with the powerpack
sorry for the nubness to the mac world. I found that shockwave was using up 80% of my cpu usage so once I closed that everything went back to normal. Thanks for your help though. Googling "alfred with the powerpack" now

What's up NT. I plan to do light video editing of home movies & my 9 year old wants to film stop motion stuff with his action figures & legos. I'm in the market for an iMac (the 21.5-inch: 2.9GHz). Is it worth upgrading to a fusion drive?

It doesn't take mine long at all to get hot especially if the page I'm on has flash.

anyone who has the new megasafe2 power cords on their rMBP having pin connector problems i.e. stuck pins, not charging properly?
You'd think that a 1700 dollar comp would be able to charge without me having to use a toothpick to get the pins unstuck........

Two questions:
1) I have an older MBP (bought at the end of 200
. My CD/DVD drive/player stopped working completely, anyone ever experience this?
2) A while back I bought an HDMI to DVI video cable for MBP-HDTV connection. But only the picture plays on my big screen, the audio plays off my laptop and not on the TV.

Question regarding the new MAC BOOKS
Someone said Apple is canceling out the CD/DVD drives on future Macs. Is there any truth to this? I know the current Macbooks with Retina display does not have a CD/DVD drive. I didnt think they'd stop it completely.
As a dj, I need that CD/DVD Drive.

I have the 2.9 i7 and it def gets warm. I wouldn't say its overheating but after 2-3 hours of continuous use or so it feels hot on the underside.
