What's the meaning/use of ?mt=8 and ?mt=12 in iTunes Preview and Mac App Store Preview URLs? There's an annoyance with iTunes Link Maker: its URLs for Mac apps differ from the URLs that are seen when links are followed … but I blame these discrepancies on Apple. This is a great answer. |

Why might more memory be wired in safe mode than in normal mode? A vote up for thought, but the graphics card alone can't explain it. I added to the question an example where there's a difference of more than 3 GB on a Mac with only 512 MB on the preferred card. |

Mac virtual memory: how to make OS X create swap (page) files as freely with a normal boot as it does with a safe boot (swapfile1 etc) Not simply the number of files. Think of the mass – the sum of the sizes of all swap files. What causes the operating system to create that greater mass? |

Why is it that my Mac would rather swap than clear inactive memory? Consider a separate question for the kernel panic. |

What are the “sleepimage” and “swapfile” documents?sleepimage is not part of the virtual memory system. sleepimage relates to power management and physical memory. |
