Not enough memory for iMac

I purchased an iMac sometime in 2009. Within the past two years, it was used at most about 20 times. Most of the time is is turned completely off & not even plugged in. Basically, it has hardly ever been used. It just turned it on again today & tried to update it to osx lion. When I try to install, a message comes up that says I need at least 2GB of memory to install it. How is it possible that I dont have enough memory to install the operating system? How can I find out how much memory the computer had when I purchased it (because I really do not remember)? And, how can I find out how much memory is left?

The memory referred to is the RAM which is installed in modules. If you don't have the 2 GB minimum, then I'd guess yours had two slots with a 512 MB module in each for a total of 1 GB. You can find out easily enough by going to the Apple, click on about this Mac, and then on more info. In the resulting window, scroll down to memory and post what it says there. Also, at the top - under hardware - post your model/machine ID number , something like 7,1, 8,2 or similar. That number can be used to figure out what the maximum RAM is that your machine can handle. The minimum is 2 GB, but Lion will run much better if you have 4 GB or more.
By the way, that has nothing to do with your hard drive space (which you probably thought that was memory) - that is totally different.
And, as a caution: if the Mac has not even been plugged in, then the tiny little PRAM battery inside which keeps the basic settings such as time, date, etc. going if there is no power, may need to be replaced. You'd need to take it to the Genius bar for that.
The RAM (memory) is quite easy to install; once we figure out what you need, go to OWC (macsales.com) and they have how-to videos on their site; they are a trusted vendor of Mac memory and offer lifetime warranty.

Memory full.Not enough memory for operation.

To the Report Design Team,
It has been suggested that I post this issue here based on another thread I started: Re: Memory full.Not enough memory for operation.
The template contains a single 24 bit PNG image as a background in the Page Header section, plus 9 image records from a SQL Server image field over 3 pages (3 images per page). The images are all JPG at 3000x2000 (digital camera).
To summarize, we are experiencing three problems.
1. CR2008SP2 Designer issues a Memory Full error when Exporting to PDF.
2. Using a 3rd party PDF Printer (Bullzip PDF) and CR2008SP2 Designer generates a PDF, however, the CR2008SP2 API throws a "Memory full" exception suggesting Designer and API are different (see stack trace in linked message above).
3. With only 3 images on 1 page, CR2008 Designer Export to PDF takes 110 seconds to generate a 24MB PDF while our third party PDF Printer generates the same report in 17 seconds and 580KB.
Edited by: Don Williams on Sep 30, 2009 6:43 AM

The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save. Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full". If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error. However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything). The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem. Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2. The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size. However, the API reports memory full.
The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing. When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have? Are there known problems with large images in reports? Do we need to lodge a formal support request?
Regards, Grant.

Scheduled report failure - Not enough memory for operation

Crystal Reports Server XI R2 SP4
SQL Server 2005
Hi,
I have a report that is scheduled. Most of the times it runs successfully, however for one parameter setting I continuously get the following error mesage:
Status: Failed
Printer: The instance is not printed.
External Destination: Copy the instance with default filename to the directory '//10.2.25.24/polling_in'.
Creation Time: 03/04/2009 05:00

End Time: 03/04/2009 05:00
Server Used: BWAQTSREP-1.reportjobserver
Error Message: Not enough memory for operation.
Why would this happen, and how can I resolve? I can run the report successfully in Infoview.
Thanks!
Penny

Hi Penny,
do you run the report successfully in the infoview using the same parameter setting?
If it does please try to reschedule the report and monitor (using the task manager) the memory consumption on your windows server.
Please also make sure that there is enough disk space available on both your server and the destination directory ( '//10.2.25.24/polling_in'. )

Getting " Not enough memory for the operation error " in BOE

Hi,
We are using BOE 11.0.
we try to schedule a new report with multiple database logins for testing in BOE. When we run the report we are getting error like "Not enough memory for the operation error"
The same report has been executed successfully when we run using Crystal reports developer. The report is fectching less than 10K records from all the databases together.
Please let me know which is causing the issue and also let me know is there any limit in the number of databases connecting for a single report.
many thanks in advance for all your help.
Cheers,
Suri ;-)

Hi Sarthan,
Sorry. I'm new to BOE. We know only scheduling the reports creating folders etc. :-)
I've seen one parameter "Maximum Cache Size Allowed (KBytes)" and the value for this parameter is 5000.
If we change it to a big number whether we can solve the issue ? Please suggest.
Cheers,
Suri ;-)

Server has not enough memory for operation (Some .rpt files not removing from Temp folder )

We have web application developed in ASP.NET 4.0 ftramework and published on IIS. And we are using 13_0_8 version of CR.
I am creating report files and exporting these as pdf. And I am disposing streams and report documents at the end. Initially, there wasn't any problem and temporary files which are created by CrystalReport were deleting all. But, now requests to the web application increeased to about 50.000 in a day and now some .rpt files are staying in Temp folder and I can't delete them. After recycling application pool all files are removed by IIS. Then, after 1 or 2 hours new .rpt files are creating in Temp folder. And after somewhile, application throws Server has not enough memory for operation. And, IMHO the reason is temp files. Here is the code I am using to export report as pdf.
Questions:
1. Is the reason of this exception is temp files in Temp folder?
2. What is wrong in that code?
ReportDocument report = DownloadPDF.GetReport(id);
   MemoryStream stream = (MemoryStream)report.ExportToStream(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
   Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
   Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + id+ ".pdf");
report.Close();
report.Dispose();
   try
   Response.BinaryWrite(stream.ToArray());
   Response.End();
   catch (Exception)
   finally
stream.Flush();
stream.Close();
stream.Dispose();

Error Message: Not enough memory for operation.

Hi All,
I'm having problem when try to connect to Oracle DB, check my details as below :
Connector : Microsoft ODBC for Oracle
Database Expert : Using Stored Procedure to populate data to excel.
Server Used: DBCCSWST125.reportjobserver
Error Message: Not enough memory for operation
Problem occurred when I tried to use stored procedure in my rpt file.
Thanks.

You are using multiple versions and it's still not clear what is happening but the CR 2008 reports should not be published to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2. CR 2008 has functionality that XI R3 does not support.
Create reports in CR XI R2 for BOE R2.
Also, your version of Enterprise has not been patched. You should have a Support contract which will allow you to get into our Gated site and update BOE. Then it may work but check with your administrators first before patching BOE.
Thank you

Reproducible error when loading many reports (Load report failed - Not enough memory for operation)

Environment:
Win 7 SP 1
Visual Studio Pro 2012 Update 4
Crystal Reports for Visual Studios Service Pack 10 (13.0.10.1385)
Report created in Crystal Reports XI Release 2 (11.5.8.826)
Targeting x86 .NET 4.0
Scenario:
We have a program that runs and creates a large number of reports before the process is ended. When running after many hours we'd get a Load report failed/Not enough memory of operation exception. I kept removing code and found i could reproduce just using the report.Load call. I simplified the report to a completely blank report to make sure it was nothing specific to a report I was loading. (Opened Crystal Reports XI Release 2, Save As, "Blank.rpt".). I then created, loaded, and disposed of this report in a loop. I was able to cause the same exception after 32,764 iterations on my machine. I also tried using .NET 3.5 same result. I added a counter to our main program and it also went through 32,764 report loads before the same exception was thrown. Main program uses 15 or so different reports with a variable number of subreports in each.
Sample Code to illustrate the problem:
I did this as a WinForms project since our main program is using winforms.

I am disposing and cleaning up the datasets in the main app. That is why I didn't include them in this test; they aren't relevant.
I'm unsure why this test program is completely irrelevant. It throws the same exception, at the same count, as the main program. It does it in substantially less lines of code than our main program. I spent days running long tests to figure out exactly what I needed to make the problem appear so I could post a clean and precise post on these forums. I then created the test program to illustrate that.
The "real" code as I said does stuff in sections and in a certain order.
For each report I need to export based on rows in a table
1. Creates a new Report Document
2. Loads the report document with the report
3. Creates a dataset of the data to display
4. Calls SetDataSource
5. Calls Report.ExportToDisk
6. Disposes DataSets
7. Closes/Disposes Reports
To help isolate the problem I first took out the export to disk part (Step 5). The problem still occurred. I then took out everything related to our data. (Step 3, Step 4, Step 6). The problem still occurred. And yes I commented out this code in our main real program. This left me with:
1. Creates a new Report Document
2. Loads the report document with the report
7. Closes/Disposes Reports
At this point i had to prove it was not dependent on the report. This makes sure it's not a database connection, or pulling too much data into the report. The most efficient test for this is a blank report.
So my order of operations becomes...
1. Creates a new Report Document
2. Loads the report document with a blank report
7. Closes/Disposes Reports
So you'll see this is exactly why I wrote this test the way that I did.
I've had a run where it error on iteration 32761. My last runs have errored on 32764. I have had many runs over many weeks that all error with the same exception.
There are no temp files left behind, With a test running you can see the temp files being added but they are immediately removed.

Error of "Not enough memory for operation" when exporting Crystal Report

Hi,
I am getting errors in Business Objects when I try to export a report from its native Crystal format to PDF (or Word). This is only happening in one of our many reports.
When I try to export within the Business Objects viewer (in Crystal format), then click the "Export this report" button, and select "Adobe Acrobat (PDF) as the File Format, click OK, I get the following error:
CrystalReportViewer
handleCrystalEvent failed
WebReporting.dll error '80004005'
Not enough memory for operation.
/InformationCentral/Viewers/crystal_viewer.asp, line 39
This also occurs if I try to export to PDF within the Crystal Report designer as well, but the error is a bit different:
"Failed to export report" then "Memory Full".
Strange one this is....

Hi Peter,
Could you try to minimize the records in the report by giving some additional conditions? May be like give the date range or select for few regions etc?
Try in such a way so that your report downloads less number of records.
Hope this helps.

Rashmi

Export report Excel-Data Only works not,'not enough memory for operation'

Hi all,
we are using in our Software CrystalReport Version 11 Service Pack 5. Crystal report is intergated for .NET. We can not uninstall CrystalReport Version 11 Service Pack 5 to install another Version or another Service Pack.
We are haveing problems to export report as Excel 97-2000 Data Only, "not enough memory for operation" message pop up after you try to export report as Excel data Only.
Export Report as PDF is working fine.
This problems are on Windows XP Sp3 and Vista. On Windows 7 we have no problem.
Please, can somebody help me solving this problem, or to finde a workaround for Windows XP. Memory from PC is not the problem.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards

Odisej, unfortunately, processes such as remote sessions are reserved for phone cases only. You can create a phone case here;
http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/en_US/pd/productID.98078100?resid=S6I@hgoHAkEAAGsiyVkAAAAR&rests=1282226845369
Also, just as an FYI, see the blog [What are these 'support' forums good for anyhow?|/people/ludek.uher/blog/2011/04/07/what-are-these-support-forums-good-for-anyhow]
Without phone support, you are left to do most of the foot work your self. On the forums, we can provide suggestions and guidance, but that is about it.
Couple of things to note though. If you do create a phone case, one of the 1st things that you will be asked is to update your app to SP6 - unless you can prove the same issue exists with SP6 (see more bellow).
Something I would recommend you try is to take an XP box, install SP6 on it, then install your app on it. If this works, your options are highly limited. E.g.; SP6...
One other utility that may be worthwhile to use is [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx]. Run that on the XP box. In the logs, look for "Access Denied" error messages. Look for load or other issues with crxf_xls.dll, exportmodeller.dll and crtslv.dll.
From your responses I am still not sure if you actually did run Modules and compared the results. This is much, much easier to do than working with ProcMon and I'd start there. To summarize, my troubleshooting plan (irrespective of the limits imposed on you) would be:
1) Use Modules as this is the easiest thing you can do
2) Try this with SP6 - more work that (1) above, but at least you are on the latest. If this works, banging your head into an SP5 wall will do you no good (like I said, irrespective of what ever limits...)
3) Use ProcMon - not too difficult, but time consuming as you will be looking over 100s, possibly 1000s of lines and not being familiar with details of CR, this will take time.

Getting not enough memory for operation

webpage displays error
not enough memory for operation
description: an unhandled exception occured during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack for more information
excewption details: system.outofmemoryexception: Not enough memory fior operation
this is when printing report to a DOC file or PDF file

hi
I have faced a similar issue, the root cause of it was like we have identified few crystal report formulas that might lead to memory issues and corrected them
for example
assigning a value to an array
samplearray<i> := "value";
need to ensure that the i is an integer and that it should not be less than 0 or fraction ..
i have just given some example above..
so the solution could be to identify the formulas that could run into such sort of memory issues and fix them.
Please let me know if this helps.

Not enough memory for Photoshop CC anymore?

My computer had room for 6 RAM sticks. Up until Friday, I was using 5, for a total of 9GB RAM. After using a program called Speccy to determine my computer's motherboard, I found that I could upgrade to add another of the 2GB sticks that I already had in it. So I bought another one and installed it, hoping to have 11GB now. I plugged it in and it snapped into place. Turned on the computer, and still just had 9GB. There's a seperate section in Speccy that shows my physical memory, which it shows is 7GB, with available physical memory at 4GB.
All that to say, I can hardly do anything in Photoshop anymore! It used to work great. It is not even letting me save a psd document, or make any changes. Says there is not enough memory. So not only have I not increased my RAM, but it's acting worse than ever! Any ideas what may be causing this or what I could try to fix it?

If you have snapped in 11GB of ram to your mother board something is wrong. Check you memory configuration. There are restriction as to what is supported. Memory configuration vary in what is supported, Often memory of the same type must be use in memory banks. My machine came from Dell with 4 RAM sticks 2GB each 1600 ECC each in the first slot next to the two processor so 8GB. I think each is on a separate buss or channel and that first slot form memory bank 1. I added 4 8GB stick of 1600 ECC Ram for and additional 32GB. While I have a mix of stick sizes each memory each bank is populated with identical memory sticks. The work station only has 8 memory sockets. They can use memory sticks up the 16GB in size. So if I had the money and the desire I could install 8 16GB memory stack for a total of 128GB. I chose cases of wine instead.
Your numbers also seem odd to me but then I'm no expert. I always though memory was configured in banks with 6 slots I would think you have two or three banks. 2 thee channel banks or three two channel banks. I can also believe all slots could be independant. but you stated five slots were used for 9GB so something like 4 2GB sticks and a 1 GB stick you stated you added a 2GB stick for a total of 11GB. Yet two thing show you have 7GB of ram installed. You need to take a closer look at your hardware.
What you wrote does not add up why would adding a 2GB stick into your machine cause the RAM used by the machine to drop down in size 2GB to 7GB instead of increasing 2GB in size to 11GB. Check you machine hardware manual about memory configuration supported.
"My computer had room for 6 RAM sticks. Up until Friday, I was using 5, for a total of 9GB RAM.

While networking with labview 8.5 it gives error"not enough memory for this operation" ??

hi
i m working with the labview networking for the first time, when i ran my code it worked well 4 sometime . but after some days, it started giving error " not enoug memory for this operation" when the data reaches at 'typecast' tool (refer my code). my OS is winXP and RAM is 496MB. how to solve this problem?please reply soon .

Hi JAhmed,
Looking at your code, there may be a memory issue with the way you are type casting the string output from your TCP Reads. Since you are type casting a string to a number or array, you are not giving an indication of how much memory to allocate for this data, and I would suggest instead using an Unflatten From String VI. Use this VI the same way as your Type Casts, but for the input that reads "data includes array or string size?" create a false constant value because your data does not include this information.

Tried to sync my 5c on itunes but my daughter was logged in and now all her contacts, apps, and messages etc are on my phone. I was in the process of trying to run a backup because there was not enough memory for my phone to perform it. Help!!

I was in the process of syncing my iphone 5c and then wanting to do a backup through iTunes because my phone did not have enough memory to backup. When I connected the phone to my computer and pulled up Itunes I thought I was logged into Itunes (my name was showing) but apparently my daughter had used and logged into itunes. Needless to say it started to sync and now my phone has all of her contacts, messages, apps etc. I followed what had been previously posted :
This solved my question by Malignance on Feb 23, 2013 11:27 AM
You should use separate Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime. These services are separate from iTunes.
Create a new Apple ID > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ -- Note: You need a verified email address
On one of the devices go:
Settings > iCloud > (Scroll Down) Delete Account > Sign in with the new Apple ID -- Note: This only affects the device
Settings > Messages > Send and Received > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign in with the new Apple ID
Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign in with the new Apple ID
This will separate your iCloud content (i.e. Contacts, Notes, Reminders etc.), Messages and FaceTime.
You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes and share purchased Apps, Music and Movies
See the answer in context
But I still have all her info on my phone. Is there any other way I can fix this or do I need to physically delete each contact, app, and message from my phone (and I still have not run a backup). Thanks for any help you can give me.

If her data was not backed up or synced to something, it's gone. Sorry.
