Your Apple Computer Seizing while Rendering in Iray or 3Delight?

Clear your Browser cache and everything else: cookies, passwords, the whole shebang. Then clear any Adware running in the background. Safari and Firefox won't be taking up so much of your memory. You might also want to disinfect your Mac as well.

I did this, and now DAZ Studio 4.8 is actually rendering back to a dream.

Safari eats memory if it's cache is not cleared regularly. Click on Safari, and then reset Safari, and make sure most of your options are selected. In Fire Fox and IE, I don't remember how to purge browser caches, but this must be done as well. Also, clear your history.

Better yet...close them. Not minimize...CLOSE/EXIT/QUIT. And then do the same for anything else you absolutely don't need open...

Rendering is going to consume most of the available memory and use everything it can from the processor. The more available, the more it can use...the faster it will be.

if you're running adware or av on your mac all bets are off as to what that functionality will break.
the ability of AV and aware to operate inside Windows and the ability for those types of programs to do the same inside OS X are clearly not comparable. Anything that "Cleans your mac" or makes it "safe" is 99x out of 100 something that will break some element of functionality.
