Ran out of application memory

2015 MBP, 10.13.6, 16 GB, ~20% free disk space

I don't often shut down my Mac. Things were slowing down yesterday so I restarted, used Memory Clean's deep clean option, ran OnyX.

Overnight, I had only a few apps running: Safari, Firefox, Chrome, TextEdit. (Yeah, all have many open tabs.)

Woke up to find all apps quit & a warning I had run out of application memory. First time, I believe, since 2015!

Restarted those applications (screenshot attached) & ran Memory Clean again. Looked OK...

Can't Google My iWeb Address?

It worked before but now Google can't find it. Any ideas why?

Is Google just being a snob?

Sure my little site ain't Emerson but it ain't hurting anybody either (unless you're viewing it... sober).

What to do with an old Mac?

Hey all,

I was wondering what people do with their old Macs?

I have. 2007 MacBook Pro running El Capitan.
2009 MacPro also on El Capitan.
A couple of vintage G4’s collecting dust

both of these are replaced with newer machines. I’m just not sure how I could utilize them.

what do you do with your retired Mac’s?

KVM switch for 2 dual-monitor setups

Hey All
I have two MacBooks (1=work and 2=home), both relatively new (USB-C).
I currently run a second display on 1 in a dual-monitor configuration... display is HDMI 1080p and I use a USB-C-to-HDMI adaptor.
I'd like to run the same setup on 2 using the same display again in a dual-monitor configuration, so I'd like to find a KVM switch to switch between the two.
However, when I switch, I don't want my windows on the second display to move back to my MacBook screen (back to a...

Shipping route for Expedited?

So I was just curious, and thought someone may have ordered a mac lately from the Apple store, and could remember the shipping route it took!

I got expedited shipping since my Pbook G4 died on me (gf spilt beer on the keyboard and it seeped into the hardware = moisture damage rendering the logic board dead dead deadsky), and I need a computer for school, and until then I am using my gf's lappy!

The computer left Memphis, Tennessee this morning. I ordered the computer on Monday, and I am...

looking for old ati software

now before you tell me to hunt macintosh garden, already tried that and a few others. they don't seem to have what i am looking for.

i am looking for the mac software for the ATI TV Wonder 650 USB for Mac, preferably the tvPORTAL app.

i have hunted irc channels and websites and google and even the wayback machine to no avail.

I am wondering if anyone here could point me in the right direction.

Good day, eh!

I had an account here many, many years ago...long enough for it to have disappeared!

Never a poster, but a prolific lurker when I was trying to learn how to use that first iMac after only using DOS/Windows.

That was a a couple of iMacs and Macbook Airs ago! I still feel like a newb with my Macs, but the good thing is that 90% of the time I just have to use them, I don't have to figure out how to solve a problem!
