Alert! soundtrack pro is running out of resources

hello friends,
I keep getting this message after doing a few edits in STP:
Alert! Soundtrack Pro is running out of resources. it is recommended that you save your work and relaunch the application.
I thought this may be due to too many programs running at once, so I shut everything down, did a restart and still get this message. I did just run system updates and there were a few program updates -- Safari and a couple others, I think.
Here are my system specs:
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 32 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
thanks for an help you can offer.

Vue Infinite 2014 runs out of resources

Hi all!
I'm currently running a late-2009 Mac Pro with 16gig Ram and a standard 512Mb graphics card and Vue is running out of resources and getting immensely slow at rendering.
Do I need more RAM or a different graphics card?
I've looked up the affordable replacements and the Geforce GT680 looks favourite! Any comments?
Stefan

Any stock graphics card that shipped in the 2008 model should be replaced with a more modern one:
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

What is application memory and why does my macbook pro keep running out of it?

what is application memory and why does my macbook pro keep running out of it?

There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
          A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
          Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Please note that if the cause is a memory leak, installing more memory will not help. That's likely if you already have more than 4 GB of memory. Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 and later. Some details may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
          View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, reset the printing system. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Logic Pro 7 running out of memory!?!

Hi!
I am working on a project were I basically want to cut up every beat of a drum recording on 12 tracks and correct their timing individually (I have my reasons for doing this).
This creates a decent amount of regions and for some reason Logic starts complaining about running short on memory and not having enough memory for the undo history.
It bugs me because I am working on a Dual 2.5GHz G5 with 2 GB of RAM. Activity monitor says I have 480 MB of inactive memory and 1.25GB of free memory. Logic uses 300 MB of real memory and 762 MB of virtual memory. No other apps running.
How can I make Logic use ALL the available memory?
Is there a limit on the amount of memory that Logic can address? What is this limit, and how much memory is reasonably motivated for a PM running Logic?
How about plug ins? Do they have separate memory spaces not limited by Logics potential limits? "Drumkit from ****" can by itself use a couple of Gigs of RAM if available...
Thanks in advance!

Jont Olof Lyttkens, "Logic Pro 7 running out of memory!?!" #5, 03:19pm Sep 7, 2005 CDT
However in the earlier days, running under Mac OS pre 9.x the ability to allocate memory to a specific application could increase the amount for the song event memory
No, it didn't. It increased application memory, but the song event memory remained the same, just as it does now.
I think, though, that with all Logic's new features, there is more actual data in an equivalent song, so the limit may be coming earlier. (I can't be sure of that though)
I know you don't want to, but did you at least try reducing the undo history size (in prefs) ?
Does deleting undo history and then saving help ?
Another thing to consider, although I don't think it generates warnings like you are seeing, is Virtual Memory. If the computer has been up for a long time, running memory-intensive apps, like Logic, then it can get overloaded (too many pageouts) which can slow things down a lot. If you do notice things getting slower, then restarting the computer will flush the Swap File and get things going again.

Premiere Pro CS5 runs out of memory

I have the same problem with Premiere running out of memory loading a project with lots of images in it. Running task manager, you can see it eat memory at 250MB per second until it pegs the meter after a short time and then things start failing. The CS4 version does not have this problem and opens the project without error.

What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of those still images? If they are overly-large, there is a very heavy load, when working with that Project. For Scaling them to fit the Sequence Frame Size, with automation in PS, see this ARTICLE.
If one's computer is already on the borderline for resources, overly-large stills can shove it over the brink. There are few reasons to use overly-large images, as one can only ever see the pixels in the Sequence's Frame Size. The only reason for using images larger than that Frame Size are to Pan on Zoomed out images, with Effect>Motion>Position.
Good luck,
Hunt

Soundtrack Pro: Gain Greyed out

I am probably being thick...but when I try and record audio into soundtrack pro (v.1.0) via the line-in on my 17" Powerbook, the gain control remians greyed out. This of course results in a very low-level recording.
Why is the gain greyed-out?
Powerbook G4 17" Mac OS X (10.4.1) Soundtrack Pro v.1.0

OK, we've got a bit more information to share:
On the iMacs, the audio chipset in ASP is "Burr Brown PCM3052"
On our Mac Minis, it's "Intel high-definition audio."
On the Mac Minis, the gain slider DOES work. Furthermore, we've found that Garage Band DOES give an adjustable gain slider for the input on the iMacs. IOTW we can set analog record levels in Garage Band on the great majority of our machines, but not in Soundtrack Pro.
Any response from Apple employees on this issue would be very much appreciated.

Running out of resources

Hi,
I am having a strange problem. I seem to keep running out of database resources
in my datasource until I "refresh the active JDBC connections page in the console
-- then I have resources again."
I am closing each connection after use. Does nayone have any ideas what might
be causing this? Thanks.
Charles

Let me see your JDBC code for getting and using connections. I suspect it's
a threading issue.

When my MacBook Pro i7 runs out of battery, it powers off.

I can't seem to figure out why my new macbook pro turns off when it runs out of battery. Typically, when macs run out of battery, they go into sleep mode. However mine skips this completely and just turns off. Any similar problems? any ideas?

I have an update regarding this issue. Since receiving my new MacBook Pro, I have calibrated the battery 3 times. Here are my findings of each calibration when the battery reaches 0% charge:
1st calibration: MacBook Pro enters SafeSleep (saving contents of memory to HD) and powers down (no pulsating light indicating memory is still being maintained until plugged-in or battery reserves are depleted). Plugging adapter in and powering up results in memory being restored from HD.
2nd calibration: Same as 1st calibration
3rd calibration: MacBook Pro shuts down without entering SafeSleep. Plugging adapter in and powering up results in normal boot sequence with logs indicating improper shutdown.
SMC and PRAM have been reset prior to these calibrations.
pmset -g returns the following (looks normal to me):
Active Profiles:
Battery Power 1
AC Power -1*
Currently in use:
womp 1
halfdim 1
sms 1
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
gpuswitch 2
disksleep 10
sleep 0
hibernatemode 3
ttyskeepawake 1
displaysleep 10
acwake 0
lidwake 1
I don't think this is the intended behavior for this MacBook Pro. I've started a case with AppleCare and I hope an engineer will respond to what I'm experiencing as I don't think this is normal. It appears that the MacBook Pro is not accurately determining the bottom threshold of the battery. It thinks there are reserves when there is actually none, causing weird behavior at the end of the battery charge life.
Anybody else experiencing this with their MacBook Pro 15" i7?
Will update as soon as I find out more.

I'm getting the message that my MacBook Pro has run out of application memory?

If I'm not paying attention and am running more then 1 application at the same time I get a message that I've run out of application memory and need to "force quit" current applications in order to continue. Anything I can do to resolve this problem like add more RAM/

First, all so-called "memory cleaning" software is worse than useless.

Is my macbook pro really running out of memory?

My Macbook Pro is almost 2 years old. OS X version is 10.6.8. Have 4GB of memory and about 250 GB disk space. Right now I still have 186 GB free space. Some weird things have been happening lately. Over a week ago, I started having problem when accessing my Yahoo mail. Sometimes it will be fine but most of the time it just hangs, the beachball will be spinning around and I have to force quit to get out. At first I thought it is because Yahoo just has this new format that is causing the problem. However, 2 days ago, the Finder just disappeared from my laptop and I had to restart to get it back on. Today when I tried to work on my 2008 Microsoft Excel workbook, I could not save it after I made changes. Excel just closed down with the message saying, 'Microsoft Excel has quitted unexpectedly'. This is a somewhat big workbook (8.4 mb) but I always have this workbook and keep it the same size so I don't know why all of a sudden I have a problem. It is true that if I worked on a smaller workbook then I don't have any issue. When I tried to save the big workbook, I looked at the Activity Monitor, the system memory had about 1.9 GB free and the % CPU would all of a sudden jumped to 100% then Excel would die. I only use my Macbook Pro for the internet, email, watch DVD, use Microsoft Word and Excel, other than that I don't do much else. Cannot think of anything that I did recently that would have caused this problem. If this is a PC I would think it's been infected with virus. I'd always used PC except this last 2 years, still don't know Mac too well to determine if this is a memory problem. I hope someone from the forum can help me out. Thanks.

Sounds like a problem with Excel, perhaps you have a Macro virus.

Unable to launch Soundtrack Pro 2.0.1 (Fresh Install)

I've just installed Logic Studio on a clean installation of Leopard (10.5.1) on my dual 2ghz G5. For some reason Soundtrack Pro 2.0.1 immediately quits upon launch with the error *"The application Soundtrack Pro quit unexpectedly."*
I've attempted to reinstall only Soundtrack Pro 2 from the Logic Studio disc, but this does not resolve the issue.
Prior to installing Logic Studio, I had installed Final Cut Studio 1 (which included Soundtrack Pro version 1), so I don't know if this prior installation in some way conflicted with it.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions it would be much appreciated!

I've figured it out!
I'm posting the solution here in hopes that it will help out anyone else who may be running into this issue.
For some reason the Logic Studio installer was not installing the ProAppsMetaDataSupport framework needed by Soundtrack Pro 2. This may have to do with my previous existing installation of Final Cut Studio 1, which contained Soundtrack Pro 1 and Compressor 2.3.1.
Here's what I did to remedy my issue...
1) Delete all Soundtrack Pro 1.x system files
2) Delete all Compressor & QMaster files (for directions, see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302845
3) Upon running Logic Studio, I noticed that though I could install Soundtrack Pro 2, the option to install Compressor was grayed out and indicated 'Skip'. I quite the installer and realized it was necessary to install Compressor directly using the package file.
4) On the Logic Studio disc, control-click the *Install Logic Studio* icon and select *Show Original*. This will take you to a hidden folder containing all of the individual installation packages.
4) To install Compressor first, open Compressor.mpkg
5) After I installed Compressor, I chose to run the main Logic Studio installer, and chose to install Soundtrack Pro.The installation for Soundtrack Pro should run normally, and it should install the ProMetaDataframework automatically.
I also did notice that the installation packages folder did contain an entry for ProAppsMetadataSupport.pkg, so you may be able to run this if it for some reason doesn't install.
After this, both applications finally launched perfectly! Ok, time for bed.

Keep getting the 'system has run out of application memory' window, what to do?

I'm running a mid 2010 MacBook with 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and OS X 10.9.5. Every time I'm on Safari I get the 'System has run out of application memory' window and it asks you to quit out of programs you're not using. The problem is sometimes the only things running are Safari and Finder. It'll then freeze up programs and prevent web pages from loading or showing up. I'm not quite sure what this means or how to go about fixing it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Meghan,
If you are seeing that alert that you are running out of application memory then I would take a look at using Activity Monitor to see how the memory is being used. If it looks normal usage to you, then you may want to upgrade the memory on your Mac. Take a look at the article below for more information.

FCP and soundtrack pro roundtrip problem?

Hello I am working on a video in the latest Final Cut Pro and software. I need to take out the hum of the audio, but when I send the audio file to Soundtrack Pro and take out the hum and then save it, the audio goes offline when I go back to FCP and it says something like the attributes no longer match or something. What am I doing wrong? Is there specific ways I need to do this? When you send to soundtrack pro it asks if you want to send only referenced media. I tried both way but no go.
Any ideas?
thanks!

Interesting question - We don't use attorneys - too expensive, and we never listen to 'em anyway, so the info didn't come from a lawyer, ha ha. But I've seen several examples of music cue sheets, and they all contain the same information, including composer, publisher, society, timing, etc. (After all, that's the purpose of the cue sheet - to see that the artists and producers get paid for their work). You can find one format at:
www.ascap.com/musicbiz/cuesheetcorner/pdf/SampleCue
Of course, if the example comes from ASCAP (as that one does) or another society (BMI, others), they are working to make their job easier, but they are the societies - they are the ones who can object if they don't like it. And they have substantial power to penalize a producer for not doing what they want. But here's the thing: there's huge tradition in Hollywood, and the rule is (and the contracts say) that if you don't provide everything on the distributor's list of deliverables, they hold your money until you do - and one of the things on the list of deliverables is a music cue sheet, and every example I've ever seen (and I've seen at least 20) asks for the same information. So that's the answer as to "who told you that?" Is is possible that I'm being led down the garden path by ASCAP and the movie industry in general? Sure, but every source I consult agrees that this is the reality. I wish I could avoid it, but as I understand the situation, I have to do it, and it has to contain the info, or we'll never see our dough, ha ha. But my question remains the same - how do I get that info for the "royalty-free" music library attached to FCP?

My macbook says it has 108.3GB used for backups. Why is that? I'm running out of GB and would like to free some space up. Thanks. BTW this is my first mac.

My Macbook pro keep running out of space. I have my iPhoto library's on an external hard drive and I backup my mac to a separate hard drive. But I noticed today that in my "about my mac" it says I am using over 108GB for backups! What is that? How do I fix it? This is my first mac.
Thanks so much for the help.

If you have Time Machine enabled, then those are Time Machine snapshots. They will be deleted automatically if the space is needed. You can also do this:
About Time Machine local snapshots
Time Machine Snapshots
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and enter or paste the appropriate command line. Press RETURN and enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed. Press RETURN again.
To turn them ON: sudo tmutil enablelocal
To turn them OFF: sudo tmutil disablelocal
Note that turning them OFF will also delete all existing snapshots.

Disk Limit Alert In Soundtrack Pro...

My specs:
i-Mac G5
2 Ghz
20"
2 GB RAM
160GB HD - 70GB Availible
Soundtrack Pro
Good Day All... Maybe you can help me please. I am running into my hard drive not keeping up with streaming my sound clips. I have a moive I opened up in Soundtrack and the movie is 18 mins long. I have three tracks. The audio from the movie. A mertonome click track. A Piano track. A strings track. The audio from the movie and the mertome click track run throughout the entire 18mins.
The piano track and the string tracks shift back and forth through the whole movie.
My problem is... when I play back the movie... the audio hangs and I get the "Disk Limit Alert In Soundtrack Pro..." I am not running any other programs and my computer is choking up on only a few tracks! Is there anyway to help this situation out? One post online mention trying to sperate the audio into different programs??? How do I do that is that is the way to go? Is there a better way?
HELP PLEASE!
Thanks,
Ron

Seeing the same thing. Maybe it has something to do with having a G5 Quad. Besides things as my tempo value slider should be somewhere but is nowhere to be seen.
