Hello all, I hope you can help.
I have a later 2012 Mac mini which I use for browsing the Internet, sometimes I use iTunes and also my plex.
I noticed a couple of months ago that the Mac was running quite slow and the fan was kicking in quite a bit. I downloaded dr cleaner which is where I realised I was running 99% memory and plex was taking up around 1.4gb of ram.
My mac only had 4gb of ram do I thought I'd upgrad it to a single 8gb chip. Since doing this everything has run perfect and I've been using less than 60% memory and sometimes 70% when I have everything running.
Today I noticed the fan was coming back on my Mac and it was taking ages to access plex from my lg smart tv. I then noticed my Mac was running at 99% memory again and plex was using over 5gb of ram.
Surely this isn't right I shouldn't have any issues. My Mac is the late 2012 i7 quad core with 8gb ram. It's connected to my lg 4K tv and all my media for plex is on my 2tb external hd.
Could someone help me understand why this is happening.
I'm not the best at explaining things so if need anymore information please ask.
Thanks in advance
Dan
