Backspace Taking Out of Application.

Hi,
I am having a issue with the backspace as its causing me to go to the previous page or sometimes to out of the app.
For example, after opening a popup, if I try to make a change and during that if I press the backspace, I move to the previous screen.
Is there any way to avoid this?
Thanks,
Lalit.

Frequent random software crashes taking out files, applications and OS

We are a small niche publishing company with a network of 9 Macs of various ages - some very new running 10.6.3 and others older (mini macs running 10.5). We run MS Office (2004,2008 and 2011), Extensis Suitcase (Fusion) and QuarkXpress v8.
About 6 months ago one of the Mac users (running OS 10.5) complained that his Microsoft User Data folder had moved. I moved it back but everything then went downhill from then on. One by one all the Macs became corrupted in some way, and they nearly always followed the same pattern. Firstly files or folders on the desktop go missing (not in trash) then Extensis Suitcase and QuarkXpress become corrupted. Quite often Word or Entourage fails too. On many occasions the OS has also become corrupted so I have to reinstall everything.
This now happens on a daily basis, although 2 or 3 of the Macs seem to have settled down and have not played up for some weeks. As you can imagine we have wasted a tremendous amount of time and energy on this. We employed the services of an IT specialist who cannot work out what the problem is. He thought it was a file-sharing problem and installed a Mac Server but it has made no difference.
Someone in an online IT forum suggested that if we have a Quark document that keeps getting over-written (which is the case with us) then it has probably become corrupted and it corrupts whatever is stored near it on the hard drive, so could quite easily take down applications and the OS. This seemed logical and I asked the department to build new pages from scratch and banned them from opening the old pages. This has made no difference.
QuarkXpress themselves said that Quark can crash if you edit and save a document which was created in an earlier version of Quark. Well, Quark crashes all the time and seems to be the worst piece of software ever written in my opinion, but it shouldn't wipe out your whole computer, should it??
I had also suspected a virus and put Kaspersky on a couple of the most-used Macs for a while but it didn't find anything so I didn't bother reinstalling it again when I next had to do a re-install of the Macs.
I am now suspecting it could be something to do with MS Office 2004. I have some older Mac Minis which should be running it fine (but don't) but it has also been loaded on a few of the more modern iMacs running 10.6. I notice the two Macs running 10.6 which have "settled down" and haven't played up for weeks run Office 2008 and 2011.
I am also posting this problem to Microsoft and Quark in the hope that someone somewhere has experienced this before and can come up with a solution.

The theories that best fit your description are (1) sabotage and (2) defective third-party software.
As for (1), check your logs carefully for evidence of unauthorized access, either remote or local.
As for (2), look for anything you installed on all the affected hosts that runs as root or includes a kernel extension. Commercial "anti-virus" software would be a prime suspect.
Verify the directory of the startup volume of each client in Disk Utility (you can do this via a remote shell with diskutil.)

No, it shouldn't and it can't.

'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.

Your system has run out of application memory Premiere pro cc 2014

Hi,
I've been getting the "your system has run out of application memory" message while working on a new project in pr pro cc.
Here's what i've done so far:
Updated to OS X 10.9.5 and restarted computer
went into my activity monitor and stopped programs that were taking up memory, but that didn't solve the problem the message would pop up over and over again.
this is the first time i've seen this message. I installed the universal free trial red giant plug ins for PR Pro . I'm starting to think that the plug ins are the problem.
I used several of the universal plugins from red giant on my entire project. I was able to export the project twice w no problems but then when i went back into the project and the notification kept popping up!
I'm using
PLS HELP!!!
thanks!

Out of Application Memory Error when Importing Library as Project

I have for years followed a practice of consolidating discrete event libraries (I create a new event-specific library for each event I shoot) into my main library at home.
Recently, though, I have been unable to import libraries as projects. The process begins, but ultimately grinds to a halt as I get an Out of Application Memory Error, invoking the Force Quit panel and telling me to quit some of my open programs in order to free memory to run the various open applications. (Aperture, of course, is "not responding").
In Activity Monitor, a process called kernal_task, is the culprit, taking up nearly 10 GB of my 16 GB memory; Aperture is second, using 1 to 2 GB in memory.
When I force quit Aperture, kernal-task quickly dissipates, eliminating all of the memory pressure.
I have no idea how to even begin addressing this.
I have the most recent version of Mavericks and Aperture running on an older 8-core Mac Pro.
Thanks for any insights or suggestions.
Gordon

There is about 2TB of free space on the drive with the destination library.
And how much free disk space is on your System drive?
If repairing the libraries does not help, check your system for software, that might be leaking memory, probably incompatible plug-ins or older applications, preference panes, drivers that need updating,
If you find evidence of a precess leaking memory, ask in the Mavericks forum.
See this post by Linc Davis for how to check for memory leaks:

Yosemite update causes error 'run out of application memory'

Hi, i use a
Mid 2011, 13 inch MacBook Air with i7, 4gb ram and 66gb left on my storage (out of 256gb). Currently running OS X Yosemite 10.10, updated via Appstore 2 days ago.
Ever since the update, while carrying out usual task such as 'mail' and 'safari' concurrently, i get error message stating 'run out of application memory', the situation is even worse when i have to run excel and word at the same time.
Not sure if the new OS is taking up memory because my tasks are routine and i never had problem prior to the update.
Comments?
Cheers
David

Greetings Everyone,
I use a mid 2011 iMac 27", 3.4 GHz, 16GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 with 457.08 GB free and a 4Tb Thunderbolt drive as my backup and media player total contents 1.2TB.
Since I installed Yosemite and its update 10.10 my iMac takes for ever to boot up and everything has slowed to a snails pace and now I am getting this annoying "You Have Run Out of Application Memory" and you must force quit all of these application. Luckily I now have a back up for what I am working on and don't lose most of my work on projects having to force quit all of the applications that I happen to have open.
I have been using a Mac since it was a small rectangular box with a B&W CRT and I have never encountered a problem like this before with a new OS release.
This reminds me of the days when we used to go to lunch waiting for our mac's to render a project and hope it didn't crash and now its when I boot up a screaming hot machine and do my work on it.
Is there anything I can do or is this a "your stuck with it until an update fixes this or these bugs".
Comments?
Cheers,
Scott

I've updated my Macbook Pro and my iMac with Maverick, updating the various apps. On my Macbook, everything functions perfectly. On my iMac, I get the Your System has Run out of Application Memory, and it's based our Mail, the only app not updated. Ideas?

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?

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!

Have you looked into Activity Monitor utility to see what system resources exist and how they are being allocated to applications, the OS X, and other background functions?
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!

How do I find out which application is stealing focus?

I'm having problems with my Macbook Pro in which my active window keeps deselecting every 5-10 seconds or so, which is making even typing this question extremely difficult.
I have figured out from searching the web that it is because of an application stealing focus. However, in all the boards that say how to fix this problem, none of them actually tell you how to identify which application is the one stealing focus.
The most information I could find was to go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
and to look for which application is stealing the focus, but it doesn't say WHERE to look.
Do I look at CPU? Number of threads? Real memory? What?
Here are my specs:
- Mac OS X version 10.6.8
- Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
- Memory: 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
(Let me know if you need any additional info about the system.)
How do I figure out which application is the one stealing focus? (If you could write it in painfully simple instructions, that would be fantastic).
Thank-you in advance to any helpful answers!

First, quit all applications, close all windows and reboot the Mac. Hold down the Shift key prior to the startup chime until it finishes starting. This is called a Safe Boot and causes the system to load only its components, no third party stuff and do other housekeeping tasks. Will take AWHILE, be patient. Run ONE Apple app at a time and see if the issue persists. If it does not, then you will have determined the system is OK and the issue is caused by a third party app. Now reboot normally and see if the issue reasserts itself. Try this and holler back.
Note: running Safe Boot in day-to-day use is unadvisable cause many apps require the use of their extensions and won't work correctly, if at all.

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?

How to find out the application server info

Hi, I am wondering how to find out the application server info in Java code, just like how to find out the db platform being used. Thanks

Hi,
I am not aware of any spec defined way of finding out such info. There may be vendor specific APIs or mechanisms.
But you can use environment entries in your deployment descriptors to specify the information and make use of the entries inside your j2ee component. That will make your code platform neutral.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

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...

Sorry, I got cut off. I came back to post the solution.
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.

My macbook pro with 16GB ram runs out of application cache very often, and only application running is FIREFOX MOZILLA. How to fix this?

This happens 2 or 3 times a day - every couple of hours. Then, I need to restart the laptop and clean out files (I use ccleaner). Is there a way to fix this ( system running out of application cache). Thought 16 GB ram would be big enough. Thanks for your help.

For some time now, a lot of Mac’s with Microsoft programs have been

Whenever I turn my MacBook pro on, all the other stuff is loaded (MS word/excel/powerpoint), Spotify, iCal, etc are automatically loaded, so in order for me to go to my desired website, I have to close (x) out all applications loaded. Please advise.

If you are using Lion:
Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.
