Inactive Memory Preventable?
Hello!
Is inactive memory gonna be part of the Mac life? I’m currently using CleanMemory app to flush them out. It works but would be nice if there’s Apple have a recommended solution to control it up front and even prevent it from accumulating.
I’m using a MacPro mid 2010 / 10 gig memory / OSX 10.8 / AvidMC, AfterEffects, Photoshop, office stuff…
Thanks!

It may be part of your “Mac life” on OS X 10.8 but on 10.10 Yosemite, memory management is done completely differently. Unless you are having problem with your Mac, I wouldn’t get hung up on how it’s using memory. The Apple developers are pretty smart about that stuff and utilities that “clean” your memory are, for the most part, a waste of time. OS X will clean up and reclaim unused memory as it needs to.
