Can't open Excel - not enough memory

I recently converted files from a PC over to this mac by using an external hard drive. Among other things I don't quite know how to do, I get an error message-not enough memory- when trying to open excel. Word works fine. It is Microsoft 2007. Checked memory on disk and it is far from full. Please help!

HI and welcome.....
I get an error message-not enough memory- when trying to open excel.
Open System Profiler (Applications / Utilities). Under Hardware you can see how much RAM (memory is installed)
And make sure there is sufficient space on the startup disk. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.

Can't open file, not enough memory (RAM)

This message pops up when I try to open certain files on Photoshop CS and it's ridiculous because I have loads of memory, and it previously opened much bigger files with no problem. Sometimes it works if I close and open Photoshop and try again, but it isn't this time. Please help...
Thankyou

I have discovered that the problem is that the TIFF files I am tying to open are 32 bit files. There are several references on the Internet to Photoshop not being able to open these files These are output files produced by the astro-imaging software Deep Sky Stacker. Within DSS I can save the 32 bit TIFFs as 16 bit files which photoshop CS5 can open fine.
Does anyone know whether Photoshop CS5 can open 32 bit tiff files at all? Would it help if I could update my version of Photoshop (see update problem above)?

Excel "not enough memory"

I know I have the vast majority of my available space on the computer available (MACBOOKPRO 17). So, why do I get the reply from EXCEL that there's "NOT ENOUGH MEMORY" to download a simple excel spreadsheet?

Problems opening outline: Not enough memory available

Dear all,
since about 3 or 4 weeks I have problems with opening an outline in EAS console: After a double klick on the outline and about 1 minute waiting the following message pops up: "There is not enough memory available on the Administration Server to open this outline." If I try to open the outline in "view mode" everything works fine. I dont know where the problem is - I have restarted the whole system, all other applications/databases are down - where is the memory?
Does anybody know this problem? How can I trace it? How can I see/change memory settings? We are working with Oracle Application Server on Windows NT as container for APS, HSS, AAS (EAS). Essbase Analytic Server is installed and running on HP UX.
Thanks in advance!
Regards
André

This wouldn't be an ASO database by any chance, would it?
Because if it is, you're likely seeing the effects of a fragmented outline.
It seems awfully big for the number of members you are describing.
Take a look at this thread: Re: ASO too large for techniques on how to get around the ASO outline fragmentation issue.
It might at least be worth trying to build the dimensions in a new database and see if the error occurs. If it does not (as this will be a fresh database, it won't be fragmented) you have pretty convincing proof that the issue is related to ASO outline fragmentation.

When opening files "Not enough memory to load TIFF file."

Mac just had a new build of OSX 10.6.8.
Total memory 4gb of which over 3gb is free.
Open any image gives a memory error "Not enough memory to load TIFF file"

Open the linked tiff file(s) in photoshop, and resave with LZW Compression (OFF I Believe). I know you can place an lzw tiff adn usually works fine, but I believe i had this in the past and turned it off/chanegd the RLE settings and Illustrator was made happy. Also look for if the image is photoshop >> image >> 8 bits/channel.

Installed os x 10.6.8 and office 2008 excel not enough memory on start

I just installed OS 10.6.8 and when I try to run Office 2008 Excel I get a "Not Enough Memory" pop-up and it will not open any files. Any ideas on how to resolve this? If not how do I revert back to original operation system?

How much RAM is installed in your computer? You need a minimum of 1 GB for Snow Leopard and at least 2 GBs or more for any practical uses.
To revert to your previous OS you need to boot from that installer disc and do an Erase and Instsll. Be sure to back up your files first because the procedure will erase the hard drive.

Just installed a new kodak printer and now photoDeluxe 2.0 won't open says not enough memory

just installed new kodak all in one
printer and now my photodeluxe 2.0
won't open. This program has worked fine for years can anyone tell me what's going on and how to fix it?

Boy, did you stumble into the wrong forum...
This is the Camera Raw forum relating to raw processing of digital captures-it has zero to do with PhotoDeluxe (which I don't think has been for sale in YEARS...). Sorry, there are no active forums for PhotoDeluxe. Guess you need to upgrade to Photoshop Elements to be even close to current...

A FIX for error message: When I try to open Snood (it's a game) I get this message. Not enough memory {Error # :: 0, in sound.cp@line 101 Can you help?

After years of playing Snood, w/o problems, I started getting this error message, on my iMac, OS 10.5.8,
with 4 GB of memory when opening Snood: Not enough memory {Error # :: 0, in sound.cp@line 101
My MacBook Pro w. Mac OS 10.6.8 did not have this problem.
Initially I thought that Snood raised its minimum requirement to Mac OS 10.6.
I had several correspondences with Snood. Their tech support is great. Quick and thorough responses.
They thought the issue was in Mac's system preferences/ Sound. It was.
I didn't realize that my sound input and output devices were gone.
The fix was resetting the PRAM. I found this advice on MacFixIt.com.
MacFixIt help with volume: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10415659-263.html
Resetting the PRAM is on Apple support: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
My sound (music!) is back, along with Snood. So glad I reset the PRAM before reinstalling the OS software!
Thank you to Snood, MacFixIt and Apple.
Happy new year all!

Good work, nice post/tip, thanks!

To detail the steps, please do as I describe:
Important
This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the
registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry,
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Back-up-the-registry
To open the Registry Editor, please press Win + R, type regedit in the blank box, press

Now the Registry Editor is open.
Then we see the pane on left, expand the following path:

Then we can see a list on right, find Cache, right click on it, click
Modify..., under Value data, change the value to something like
C:\Windows\Temp, click OK.
Exit Registry Editor.
As for "You might also right click on the file with file explorer, choose Properties, then General tab and click on the Unblock button." Just find the file, right click on it, choose
Properties, under General tab, if you see a
Unblock button, click on it.
"Some of our customers found it sometimes a permission problem.
cmd => dcomcnfg" Do the following:
Press Win + R, type in cmd in the blank box, press
Enter.
In the new black-background window, type in dcomcnfg, press

OK.
I hope I've explained the steps clearly.
Good luck.

Not enough memory to run Microsoft Excel. Please close other applications and try again.

Hi All,
I have windows 7 SP1 64 bit machine with 8 GB of RAM. and have office 365 pro plus installed on it. I use windows explorer preview pane a lot and suddenly it has stopped working. Whenever I click on any excel, power-point, word file with the preview pane
enabled it gives me the error as below:
for Excel: Not enough memory to run Microsoft Excel. Please close other applications and try again.
For Power point: there is not enough memory or system resources to start power point.
However the file opens fine when I double click it. I have tried the following"
1. Repaired, re-installed office 365 pro plus.
2. Disabled, enabled and changed virtual memory page file size. It did not make any difference.
3. Have verified folder and search options and they are fine for the preview pane.
Is there anything we can do about it?

Since we were unable to reproduce in my test machine, we were unable to determine the root cause of the problem. This seems to be happening when Windows is trying instantiate the Office application for the preview in the Preview pane, if the repair
Office still doesn't work, we might turn our mind onto Windows OS level.
Here is my suggestion:
1. Disable all of security programs or Anti-virus on that machine.
2. Disable DEP.
3. If you installed any video or graphic codec programs, please temporary to remove them to check the result.
Feel free to post back.
====================
I've summary the Symptom as following:
When trying to open files from a file share using Microsoft Office 2013 via Windows Explorer, we're see the following messages in the respective Office apps (see below). However, after clicking OK in the respective dialog, the Office files open from
the share as expected.
Microsoft Word
Sorry, something went wrong and Word was unable to start. (24)
Microsoft Excel
Not enough memory to run Microsoft Excel. Please close other applications and try again.
Microsoft PowerPoint
There's not enough memory or system resources to start Microsoft PowerPoint.
The issue does not happen if we navigate to the same file via the File > Open dialog.

"there is not enough memory to load this vi"

I have a rather large Labview build application (LV 2013). Sometimes it happens that immediatly after application start the application crashes showing the following error and afterwards a non-conclusive crashlog.
"Sometimes" means that it crashes around every 10th time, sometimes everytime. If it didn't crash at startup it won't crash during runtime anymore.
One problem is that the number of crashes depends on the computer (always Win 7 64bit ) the application is running on. On some computers it happens very rarely on the others every 2nd time.
The good thing is I already know the component where it comes from, which is the ftdi 2DXX library I'm calling. The bad thing is I don't know how to fix it. It looks to me like a memory corruption, but I I took every precaution regarding dll loading and data handling in labview.
Once I thought I fixed it by forcing recompile of all vi's of the project. It disappeared on the computer I was checking, but later appeared on another computer. Last time I thought I fixed it when I switch the dll calls to "run in any thread". It disppeared on the computer I was checking the problem on but now showed up on a different computer.
I'm running out of ideas. I already asked Labview support for help a while ago but they couldn't help me as well.

is there any solution?
I got also this error message. I restart Labview, made a backup of the file named in the error message, create a new VI und copied the content into this new one... I tried several things mentioned here and in the internet. The size of the vi is 1,1 MB, Labview 2014.
Strange is: I never open the mentioned VI in the error message, I have never changed or used it.
I extened a .ctl, there is an Enum and I added some items to this Enum. When I choose in the running Main.vi one of my added items, go to next, then a window appears and I want to cancel this window (there is a separate cancel button, not the x), then Labview is crashing, the attached error message is appearing. When I choose an item which exists before, everything is working fine. Any ideas what I can try?

Not enough memory on startup disk to run applications with more than 200Gb free!!

I have a MacBook Pro final 2011 with 8 GB RAM and 500 GB disk with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5 and I'm using only 56% of my disk (over 276.5 GB). Nevertheless after some time my MAC starts to became slower until it opens a window with the message 'not enough memory on startup disk to run applications' and asking me to choose an application to stop! How can it be that 'not enough memory on startup disk' (espaço insuficiente no disco de inicialização) if I have more than 200 Gb free? Is there anything that can be done to solve that?

As Excel is not an Apple product, I believe you will get more useful help by using Microsoft's support community for Office:Mac here:
Office for Mac forums
They are as active and helpful as these, and sometimes employees from the MS Mac Business Group are available for helping.
Be sure to show which version of Office:Mac you have when posting there. It can make s difference in advice offered.

Not enough memory message when opening excel and powerpoint

I am running Mac OS X version 10.5.8. I installed Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac about a year ago and was running it without any trouble until about 3 months ago. I can still open Word, but receive a 'not enough memory' message when I try to open Excel or Powerpoint. Has anyone else encountered this problem and does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks

Yes I have and I think that's when the problem occurred. I've just read another post from someone who was having the same problem. Apparently the solution is just to keep hitting the escape button every time the error message pops up and eventually the application opens! Not very high tech, but I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on.
