Audition CC and out of application memory issue (Mac osX 10.9.4)
Hi All,
I'm trying to do an "Automatic Speech Alignment" between two AC3 5.1 files (~170Mb and ~ 80Mb, ~59' each), and at 35% I'm running always out of application memory (and I cannot continue, even closing all applications and maintaining only Audition up and running).
My Macbook Pro Mid 2012 has 4+4 Gb RAM and a SSD disk.
I would like to know if I can use the disk with a sort of Disk Cache to help the process.
Any piece of advice will be appreciated.
Thank you very much
Andrea
you are right, Bob,
in facts I’m trying with a simple rendered Stretch, no issues at all with
memory, we’ll see the results
Probably the ASA is a feature for some very specific and “small” topics

Changing Application memory in Mac osX with Tiger
I just went to the Adobe Illustrator icon in my applications folder and tryed to up the Memory in the Get info tab. Well to my surprise you cant do this anymore, can someone tell me is there a way to do this like previous versions of OS?
OS X automatically allocates memory to an application as needed, so there is no need for you to manually increase memory allocation. Also, virtual memory is always on in OS X, so there is always plenty of memory for your apps (as long as you have a little free disk space). As always, physical RAM is much faster than virtual RAM though, so if you find that your computer is a little sluggish when running lots of apps or apps that use a lot of RAM, then it might be a good idea to increase the amount of physical RAM you have installed.

How do i resolve an issue where i have run out of application memory?
My imac says i have run out of application memory and that i should quit applications. How do i resolve this issue?
The message has nothing to do with low disk space.
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
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 ("Mavericks.") The procedure 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, remove the software. 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. -
Maverick and Your System message
I've updated my Macbook Pro and my iMac with Maverick, updating the various apps (Pages, Aperture, iPhoto, Numbers & iMovie, too) in the process.
On my Macbook, everything functions perfectly. On my iMac, I get the Your System has Run out of Application Memory message. But it's not Calendar, it's Mail that not only won't open, but when it does now, it takes the entire system out with it.
I open Safari, and it works. I open Firefox, and it works and Safari still works. I open Calendar and it works, Safari and Firefox continue to work. I open Reminders, and everything still works.
I open Aperture, and it opens Finder instead, showing the 3.5 update that was installed two days ago (and Aperture has functioned), but doesn't seem to update the app; after about 20 seconds the update disappears and I can now open Aperture and it shows I'm now opening the updated Aperture, which it didn't show before.
I click on Mail, and the cursor spins for ten minutes. The mail window finally opens, but the cursor spins and does not connect to upload new mail, and I finally Force Quit Mail. Since the Maverick update, even though Mail was not updated (and maybe because Mail was not updated), I have been able to receive emails twice, and then the program crashed.
Besides the Aperture app, Pages didn't fully update on the iMac, and I had to remove the old Pages icon from the dock after the new program loaded up from Applications.
Any ideas?Maverick and Your System message

Installation issue: Out of application memory when installing CC??
Hi all,
I have been trying to install Adobe CC on my Macbook Pro, which is runing with 16G RAM 512G with OSX 10.9
when I tried to install the CC when the install progress bar was about to complete, the OS show up the message "Your system has run out of application memory" after another 20mins or so, the system crashed
I am running any other application with the OS.
Can any one tell me why?Curious. How much Ram on that machine?

Since I installed Mavericks, the system says it run out of applications memory
I only have opened Finder (no any other app) but my Mac says "the system has run out of application memory". I don't know what the problem is.
I have a Late-2011 Macbook Pro with 8 GB of RAM. When I enter to "Activity Monitor" I can see that a process called "mds" use a lot of GB of RAM and 100% of my CPU and also kernel_task uses like 5 to 6 GB of my 8 GB of RAM. I reinstalled the OS and still have the problem.
If someone can help me, I will be very grateful.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.I have a brand new MacBook Pro. I downloaded Mavericks, and I'm moving my information from my old MacBook Pro via Carbonite to my 2 day old MacBook Pro.. Carbonite tells me to continue to use my system...When I open Safari after a short period of time I get the Out of application memory dialog box. I also use a Brand New IMac which is not having any problems but am I not using Carbonite until I figure out what the problem is. So I went to the Activity Monitor and I see Safari using 8.5 GB of memory. What do I need to do to fix this problem of Out of application memory. As soon as I "Quit Process" for safari in the Activity Monitor everything drops back to normal...example kenel_task went to 1.1 GB. Note Mozella only uses 126 MB of memory. IS the Issue Safari or something else?

'Your system has run out of application memory'?!
I've seen many users experiencing this same problem throughout the community, but none of the fixes have given me a permanent solution. Details of the machine are below, as well as what happens when the problem hits/triggers.
MBP Retina running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 (occurred in previous versions as well, thought the latest update would help but it didn't)
15-Inches Mid 2014 with 16 GB of Ram
Been using this Mac for good 6 months now, and one fine day of normal usage the whole system seems really laggy and slow and all of a sudden i'm unable to access anything and barely move my mouse. Then, a window pops out, telling me "Your system has run out of application memory", gracefully showing me that I have to force quit all my programmes for me to just stare at my desktop in utter disappointment.
I've been using Yosemite for awhile now (updated few days since the release) and haven't encountered any major issues, this being the first. Reading through many threads many have said that the problem lies with opening the Mail app, yet I haven't touched that app in months. I've also tried resetting the PRAM on my machine when it happens and the problem comes back again after several minutes of normal usage (iTunes, App Store). Checking the memory usage with the Memory Clean app, it tells me I'm down to a measly '15.58 MB' of memory, and it justfluctuates at that until I give it a restart again. This can't keep happening - I can barely use the Mac for 10 minutes without having to restart it, only to be able to use it only again for another 10 minutes.
Opening Activity Monitor tells me that mds_stores is the main root of the problem, yet I can't seem to shut the process down. I've googled and many say that mds_stores is spotlight indexing, but taking up all 16 GB of ram? That shouldn't be the case. Is there a fix to this? Does Apple know of its existence?
Included some screenshots below:Step 1
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -F '$Time $Message' -k Sender mdworker -o -k Message Rne Norm -k Sender mds | tail | pbcopy
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.
If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.
Step 2
Enter the following command as in Step 1 and post the output:
mdutil -as 2>&- | pbcopy
You can then quit Terminal.
Step 3
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Terminal. In the Console window, look under the heading DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION on the left for crash reports related to Spotlight. If you don't see that heading, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. A Spotlight crash report has a name beginning in "mds" or "mdworker" and ending in ".crash". Select the most recent such report, if any, from the System and User subcategories and post the entire contents—the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post any other kind of diagnostic report, such as hang logs—they're very long and not helpful. -
Been troubleshooting an iMac 27" Mid 2011 for friends with a design studio. The machine was running out of application memory in seconds despite having 12 GB ram and lots of free disk space. I've seen reports of similar problems with Mavericks setups. I have been an Apple dev since 1987 and have seen a lot, but this is the worst I've seen. I have been able to calm it down a little, but it is still not 100%. The machine in question qualified for a new logic board and video card update which was duly installed by Apple certified techs. It has spent hours running diagnostic checks. At one stage it refused to turn on, took it back to the repair shop. They plugged it in and it worked and more diagnostics revealed nothing untoward. So ok back to me.
Trying to work with machines in this state is difficult and I thought I'd share the steps I took to try to improve the situation.
Obviously normal Apple Diagnostic tests were not revealing the cause of the behaviour.
I searched for others with similar issues, and looked at the advice. BTW I found Linc Davis to be contributing his usual thoughtful experience to this and would recommend reading his take on this and other issues.
This behaviour reminded me of fixing virus infested machines. To keep the machine alive long enough to add Anti Virus software I set Terminal to start at login. Then I was able to run Top and observe the insane processes in real time. [Activity Monitor was a no go at this point] By killing the stuck processes it gave me enough time to download install Sophos, and work on the iMac. Sophos found some virus infected email attachments and dealt with them.
Backed up the machine
Reset the SMC
Reset the parameter ram
Started up from Mavericks Recovery DIsk and from there used Disk Utility to repair permissions and check the disc.
The machine was running Mavericks 10.9.2 and decided to reinstall Mavericks. You can go back to 10.9. I had previously saved Mountain Lion and Mavericks installs on an external drive. You can install over the net - but a much longer process and not for flaky machines. Amazingly the iMac was stable throughout the Mavericks reinstall and it was successful.
It's early days but the iMac is much better. The designers mostly use Photoshop, Illustrator, Apple Mail and Safari. They work with large images for print and need fast solid machines. Interestingly as a side note, the machine was solid for a few hours and I tried to fire up Photoshop to give it a real test. Photoshop needed to install a java runtime to function? Ok installed java runtime. Opened Photoshop. Worked for a little then Crash. Grey screen of death.
One step forward two steps back. Time to let the designers have a go again.They can make it crash good. Would recommend new MacPro's for them but Adobe hasn't got its act together to take advantage of the power available, so staying with iMacs for now.

Mac air os x 10.9 out of application memory
I have a 2013 Mac Air (4/128), upgraded to Mavericks a couple of weeks ago. Over the past 3 days I've experienced a number of "Out of Application Memory" messages inviting me to quit running apps. After a couple of minutes the system locks up and requires a reset. I've read of a number of potential causes, though those are all noted as 'possible'. I put dropbox on the system a few days ago, and I've already turned it off - after which I rebooted followed about 30 minutes later by "Out of Application Memory".
Any ideas on this?
- Tahoe TuolumneNew information: Following a tip from another thread, I disabled iCloud Contacts sync, rebooted and this has helped. It's not clear that the addressbooksourcesync process was the entire issue, but this system now seems to be stable.

Why do I keep getting the notice "your machine has run out of application memory"?
I have a 15" Macbook Pro Retina Display with a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7; 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. OS X version 10.9.2.
I get this warning when I have a lot of programs running. I never had this issue before.Well Carolyn
I feel your answer is a bit glib, since there are numerous post about this problem with Maverick. I too am having the problem and run very minor applications
Word, Powerpoint, Safari, AudioNotes. Nothing which uses a ton of memory, and have gotten this message repeatedly lately.
I have a Macbook Pro Retina with 2.6 GHz inter i7, and 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory running OS X 10.9.2.
I am not a techie and would love a simple fix, which doesn't entail me shutting down my computer when it gets stupid. As above I have not had this problem before either. -
My imac is saying it has run out of application memory. What do I do?
What do I do for this issue--my iMac (less than 1 year old) is saying that it has run out of application memory. Does this mean that I have to delete a bunch of applications? It's running really slow and crashes all the time now and says the applications are "paused" and I need to force quit them.
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
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 ("Mavericks.") The procedure 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, remove the software. 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. -
Mavericks Mail Kernel System Has Run Out of Application Memory
I have a new Mavericks late 2013 MBP. When I got the computer, I used Migration Assistant to transfer everything from my late 2008 MacBook to the new MBP. Now when I launch Mail, my memory use skyrockets and within a minute or so, I get a "run out of application memory" error message. Soon after the computer stops working until I reboot. Activity Monitor shows Memory Pressure at its redline max, Virtual Memory at about 70 GB, Swap Used 20 GB, Compressed 10 MB. The processes using all the memory are kernel-task 10 GB and mds_stores 5 GB. However, Spotlight is fully indexed and mds is inactive until I launch Mail.
Interestingly, it happens even if I quit Mail immediately after launching it - the Mail window doesn't even need to open; the memory ust still climbs. But it only happens with Mail; all other applications work fine. Also, it does not happen if I boot in Safe Mode or if I log in using a different user account.
I have spend many hours on the phone with the Apple tech guys, they sent log files to Apple engineering, and none can figure this out. Their solution is to work around by creating a new user and transfer files over - not an elegant solution...
I ran the diagnostic suggested by Link Davis; results copied below. I also ran the Etresoft diagnostic both before and after launching Mail. Results also copied below.
I am guessing that a 3rd party application in my user area causes Spotlight to loose control, when Mail is launched, perhaps trying to index 10,000 emails, but I really have no idea!
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

You could boot in SafeBoot (shift key held through startup) and run Disk Utility> repair disk permissions. That can tell you a few things about your hard disk drive, capacities, and it may not hurt to repair disk permissions. Restart normally when done.
Or try & boot from the Install DVD and use the version of Disk Utility in there to attempt to 'repair disk' while the HDD is unmounted. Then choose Startup manager to boot from the HDD and ignore the DVD on a restart.
Is your computer as listed, a PowerPC (pre-intel architecture)
Apple product, with a G4/G5 CPU from before 2006? If so,
a host could move the discussion from this Intel area.
Without more information, a failure of traction results from speculation.
Is your computer still running OS X 10.5.3, or is that 10.5.8+ now?
Good luck & happy computing!

New MacBook Pro Out of Application Memory
I just spent over $2,500 on a top-of-the-line 13" MacBook Pro, including 16 GB of memory, thinking it would solve my memory problems. So I wasn't thrilled when I got an "Out of Application Memory" error message today. I started shutting down programs, but the error message wouldn't go away. So I rebooted my computer and opened just a couple programs. It quickly froze, with the same error.
Can anyone give me some clues for fixing this problem? I installed a lot of software yesterday, mostly programs from Adobe's Creative Suite. However, when I look at Activity Monitor, the biggest memory hogs by far are Finder and kernel_task. What's kernel_task, and why is Finder such a memory hog? I was having problems with it earlier.
I've been perusing this thread...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24020867?searchText=Out%20of%20Application %20Memory?#24020867

I was able to see someone at the Genius Bar, though I didn't have an appointment. He examined my laptop and focused on something I actually noticed some time ago - when you open Finder, the folder "All My Files" is open by default. I discovered a few days ago, that that folder bogs things down for some reason, so I got in the habit of switching to a different folder.
Anyway, he said there's a file somewhere on my computer that's causing problems; it eats up memory. So he deleted All My Files from the Finder choices so I'll no longer access that file...unless I happen to stumble over the folder it's in.
As I find time, I'll try and track the offending file down. -
Why is my iMac telling me that I'm out of application memory when I have 8GB of RAM installed?
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
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 ("Mavericks.") The procedure 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, remove the software. 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. -
Recent "out of application memory" dialog popup
Hello-
Within the last few days, I am receiving a message "Your system has run out of application memory." I've not changed anything and am not running more than iTunes, Safari, Mail and Marketcircle Daylite. The same programs I've run for years. Any ideas as whee to look/fix?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.)

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.

QuickTime in Safari problems after recent update
I noticed that, after the recent 7.1.6 QuickTime update, media content on some web pages (like http://www.comcast.net) do not display. In their place is a QuickTime symbol with a "?." I've attempted to re-install QuickTIme, but to no avail. I've also
