3. Cleaning Memory ("Cleaning") screen
-----------------------------------------------

- Pie charts background color will change based on available free and inactive memory state."

2. Running User Processes ("Processes") screen

- Displays the list of running applications and processes. Main applications are shown with their icons."

3. Cleaning Memory ("Cleaning") screen

- Displays the current core applications running (typically in the background) and provides the option to "terminate" and recover memory in use by them.

- The cleaning process may take 10 to 30 seconds.

- On rare occasions, Memory Status application may itself terminate during this process. However, the system will not suffer from this event and memory cleaning should be completed."

Cleaning button: Level1 versus Level2

The cleaning process terminates core applications (operating in the background) and reclaims memory in use by them.

Level1 cleaning terminates Safari and reclaims memory in use.

Level2 cleaning terminates Safari, Mail and iPod and reclaims memory in use.

CAUTION: It is not recommended to start the cleaning process while you are listening to music due to the amount of CPU load necessary for the cleaning.

TIP: If the free memory condition does not improve even after the cleaning process, start and close Safari once and re-run the cleaning."
