"not enough memory to place the file" error message

hello all,
running windows 7, illustrator cs3 on a pc.
trying to open or place psd files in illustrator and get the following message "not enough memory to place the file".
I've reset illustrator prefs, disabled "enable desktop connection", check scratch discs, etc.
Nothing seems to be addressing the problem, has anyone else run into this?

There's no such thing as an "Illustrator CS3 portable" version. What you have is an illegal torrent download. Any issues you experience may be due to the illegal copying of the software.

  • Illustrator CS3 - "Not enough memory to place the file."  Help!!!???

    I have a new machine running XP Pro 64.  Intel i7 processor, 12 gb ram.
    I am trying to place a fairly small Photoshop image (with layers) into Illustrator CS3.  I have done this countless times with XP 32 bit os.
    But now, I cannot place even a small Photoshop image into Illustrator... I keep getting the error "Not enough memory to place the file."
    I tried the suggestion of 'right-clicking' the Illy launch icon and going to properties/compatibility and then selecting "Run this program in compatibility mode for..."  and then I check marked Windows XP.
    Someone else said this worked in Vista 64.....but it DID NOT work for XP 64.....dang it.
    Any suggestions???
    Thanks

    Well..... I just tried the same function on my 64 bit Leopard operating system on my MacBook Pro just for kicks.  Worked flawlessly!!
    So, why won't it work on XP 64 bit? Is this a case of 'the mac os is just better?"
    Talk about flame bait -- You trying to start the platform wars again? ;-D
    Can anyone tell me if they can place a Photoshop image from WINDOWS 7 64 bit OS into Illustrator without issue?  We're talking 'PLACE' .... not paste.
    Don't know about Windoze 7; but that operation works in Vista x64. XP x64 is
    quite flaky at times. It was never finished IMHO.
    Sure would like to know.  I'd upgrade if it made the difference.

  • Illustrator CS5 Error - "Not enough memory to save the file"

    Hey guys,
    I'm experiencing difficulties in exporting website from .AI to .PSD using Illustrator CS5.1 under Windows7 Home Premium 64bit. The error message says "Not enough memory to save the file".     
    I can assure you that i've got enough memory for scratch disks and my computer is powerful enough to handle this operation. The funny thing is that i am able to export the very same .Ai file using Illustrator CS5.1 under Windows XP 32bit on different PC.
    I've tried to find a solution online, but it gave no satisfying results so far. So, i think the problem comes from the operating system, but i don't know how to fix it... any suggestions?
    Thanks, Steve.

    Sad to say I'm running into the same problem with a 40KB file.....
    (download the following file and use it)
    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/2.4_GHz_Wi-Fi_channels_%28802.11b%2Cg_W LAN%29.svg
    File -> Open
    Modify the file slightly:
    doubleclick the image
    remove the channel 14 info  (the text block "14" & "2.484",  the T shaped path, the dotted half circle path)
    drag a square around the "Channel", "Center Frequency", "(GHz)" text blocks and hold left shift and press the left arrow until the selected items are tighter to the rest of the image
    select the bold base line, grab the right middle point to shrink the line (dragging from right to the left) until 'intersect' shows up, then release
    click the top left "Back One Level" arrow 2 times so that you are back to the top level (out of isolation mode)
    File -> Export -> Choose PSD
    Export Options (all default settings)

  • Not enough memory to open the illustration error

    I have Adobe CS5. 
    I am running it on a laptop with 4 GB of memory.
    Windows 6.1
    but when I open the system info in the product, it says I have 3836 MB of memory.
    Only Illlustrator is loaded and I cannot open any illustrator files.  I cannot even make a blank file.
    I get the error message not enough memory to open the illustration.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled this product and it still doesn't work.
    I tried the chat after 10 minutes of waiting for help they said they no longer support CS5 please try the phone.
    I spent 20 minutes on hold only to find out that phone support is no longer available unless I want to spend $40 for an answer.
    I am pretty angry and frustrated. 
    I have searched my computer for a /etc/launchd.conf file but I cannot find it.
    I am stuck please help.

    I have searched my computer for a /etc/launchd.conf file but I cannot find it.
    That would be Mac only.... Anyway, start by trashing the prefs in the prefs folder:
    Important Directories
    Beyond that you might consider reinstalling Adobe Reader/ Acrobat. Some of these errors are caused by damaged shared PDf components. if the machine has a specific printer installed, remove it (temporarily) and uninstall its driver. This may also help, if files have stored printer information. Likewise, check your system's color settings and color profile usage. "Bad" profiles can have all sorts of negative influence...

  • Illus CS3 "not enought memory to place the file"

    so im running XP x64 and im not able to place any .PSD's into an .AI document. not at all. doesnt matter if they are flattened, the color mode doesnt matter, the filesize doesnt matter.. if its a .PSD, it wont place.
    any ideas?
    found more people with the same problem here:
    136A567F46E19021992015D5, ""not enough memory to place file" with PSD in CS3 / Vista" #1, 7 Oct 2007 10:00 am

    On Windows XP 64, opening PSD files with Illustrator CS3 does not seem to work.
    What you can do to resolve this issue is to save the file as PNG in Photoshop. That can be opened in Illustrator and transprency is preserved.

  • "not enough memory to place file" in CS3 - Huh??

    Can't seem to find anything about this anywhere. User is trying to place PSD file into an AI document. When he does this, a dialog box pops up asking him which way he wants it placed (as an object or flatten document). When he chooses either option, he gets an error that there isn't enough memory to place the file.
    This just started happening out of nowhere. Any ideas?? Can't be the RAM on his Mac, as he has 6GB.

    Checki the Scratch disk I bet they are using the start up disk and they have good percentage of it loaded with files ad stuff. If it just started happening that is a good indication that they save one too many files to that disk.
    Select a different disk with lots of room as the scratch disk and then restart AI.

  • Not enough memory to load the tiff file

    I did a search for this problem and there were two threads about it but I can't post to them. I think they are archived. Unfortunately, there was no answer to this problem in there.
    The error "not enough memory to load tiff file" has been occuring in our shop on various computers with different resources. I believe that it has happened on our Mac as well. All are running Illustrator CS2 except the Mac which is running Illustrator CS3 and Leopard.
    Has there been any progress on what the problem is? Has anyone found a solution that doesn't involve having to resave tif files as other formats to get them into the original Illustrator document? Or a solution that does not involve a huge work around?
    I don't know the specs of all the computers in our shop but the one that I'm working on has the following specs:
    Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz with 2.5 GB of RAM
    Windows XP Pro Version 2002; service pack 3
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Cannot load large CSV files in SignalExpress("Not enough memory to complete this operation" error)

    Hi guys,
    I'm new here and just  have browsed
    some of the related topics here regarding my problem but could not seem
    to find anything to help me fix this problem so I decided to post this.
    I currently have a saved waveform from an oscilloscope that is quite
    big in size(around 700MB, CSV file format) and I want to view this on
    my PC using SignalExpress. Unfortunately when I try to load the file
    using "Load/Save Signals -> Load From ASCII", I always get the "Not
    enough memory to complete this operation" error. How can we view and
    analyze large waveform files in SignalExpress? Is there a workaround on
    this? 
    Thanks,
    Louie
    P.S.>I'm very new to Signal Express and haven't modified any settings on it. 

    Hi Louie,
    Are you encountering a read-only message when you tried to save the boot.ini file? If so, you can try this method: right-click on My Computer >> Select "Properties", and go to the "Advanced" tab. Select "Settings", and on the next screen, there is a button called Edit. If you click on Edit you should be able to modify the "/3GB" tag in boot.ini. Are you able to change it in this manner? After reboot, you can reload the file to see if it helps.
    To open a file in SignalExpress, a contiguous chunk of memory is required. If SignalExpress cannot find a contiguous memory chunk that is large enough to hold this file, then an error will be generated. This can happen when fragmentation occurs in memory, and fragmentation (memory management) is managed by Windows, so unfortunately this is a limitation that we have.
    As an alternative, have you looked at NI DIAdem before? It is a software tool that allows users to manage and analyze large volumes of data, and has some unique memory management method that lets it open and work on large amounts of data. There is an evaluation version which is available for download; you can try it out and see if it is suitable for your application. 
    Best regards,
    Victor

  • CS3: Not enough memory to place file?? (Vista 64 bit) SOLVED!!

    For whomever this helps, I fixed my "Not enough memory to place file" problem (running Vista 64 Bit with lots of ram).
    After trying everything else (checking cache files, deleting preferences file, uninstalling nearly all fonts, increasing virtual ram on machine, etc.), I solved it by right clicking the launch icon, and then in the compatibility tab checking the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" box and then choosing the XP OS from the drop down list.
    Oddly though, I have a nearly identical Vista 64 bit machine running the same Illustrator CS3 and this has no problems (without the need for this fix).
    Add this to your list of things to try.

    YES!  viveredesign is my new hero.
    Adobe, your programs drive me nuts some days.

  • Not enough memory to complete the operation-how do i eliminate the error?

    HI All,
    I have posted the questions before in this forum,but as i am not able to cure the problem i am posting it again.
    I have  a large database oriented application to plot graph.Almost one year back given the application to the user.
    They were not getting any problem before.But now the user is telling they are getting an error message-"not enough memory to complete the operation".The same application is running in one of our pcs also.But here no problem.
    Tried  to change the vitual memory setting in the user's pc by setting to system managed size.
    But still getting the same error.
    Why the same application running finely in one pc and resulting some error in another pc?
    Except that they are getting the error message the application is running properly(ie,except that they are getting the error they are able to plot the graph.)Is there any work around for this?Atleast is there any way to hide the error message?

    Hi user_1,
    no, you can't hide that error message.
    It seems you are dealing with very big data arrays (kind of duplicate posting). Please read the knowledge base article on memory efficient programming!
    The "not enough memory" occurs when LabView has to create a data copy and doesn't get the memory needed for. The only (?) way to avoid this is efficient programming!
    When you increase the memory available in the PC the error will only occur later!

  • 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.

  • Not enough memory to save this file

    hi ,
    im doing a artwork with a size of 210" x 72" and 4 layers in total ( the size is actually half of the actual print size which is 420" by 144" ). But whenever i want to export the ai file to psd , the error prompting ' Not enough memory to save this file ' appears. I've changed my primary scratch disks frm Startup to C:\ ( which is ard 100gb ) but the error still exists. Is there anyone who could help me ? Need to send the works for print next week but i need to export this file to photoshop to do extra effects and changes.

    theres around 88gb left on my drive and my ai file is juz 1.84mb.
    the settings for export is as follows :
    Resolution - 72dpi ( as my workfile is being done to a scale of 50% , i used a lower dpi )
    Options - Write layers with max editability
    Anti-alias unchecked

    Firstly, you may apply free to try product, it would repair your problem illustrator file and to import it to new .ai file with saving all content. This tool is named Illustrator Repair Toolbox. Prove it for free from here: http://www.illustrator.repairtoolbox.com/
    This solution from adobe blog
    Make Illustrator visible.
    This issue appears only on Mac OS 10.6.x. The error message sometimes occurs when you drag files from the Finder to the Illustrator icon in the dock. The error can also occur when you right-click an Illustrator SmartObject in Photoshop and choose Edit Contents.
    As ultimate measure you have to upgrade your MAC OS.
