Browser out of memory fault

I am running Safari 3.2.1 on my 2.6GHz MBP with 4GB of RAM. When I go online to a gaming site, sometimes it will crash and warns not enough browser memory. Can I modify this to add more? Do I have to just switch to Firefox?
THanks

OS X dynamically allocates memory as is needed, so provided you have enough memory and the game isn't trying to use 4GB of memory then it should work fine.
What I think is happening is that the game is actually a Java applet and they do usually allocate memory upto a predefined limit. Java applications are more often seen to give 'Out of memory' errors like this due to this limit.
Check the Java preferences tool (in Applications > Utilities > Java) to see if you can increase the amount of memory an applet can allocate.

Web browser out of memory

Hi, i'm having problems running an app i've deisgned.
It is a simple web browser but somtimes i get the lang.outOfMemoryError when i try to open huge pages such as the java api for exemple.
I've worked on this buf for about 10 hours and even if my app is now running faster and the code looks easy to understand, i still have this problem.
Here is the code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class Connexion

openURL(urlString);
jep.setEditable(false);
jep.setContentType("text/html");

There's too much System.gc() but i think it can improve performance. am I wrong?
Oh, by the way, i'm french so my comments are in french.
I hope my english isn't too wrong.
Please help.

}In fact i already the xmx command but i 'm looking for another to debug this.
There must be at least one.
Don't I do the connexion in a weird way?
is there any better way to do this???

Memory fault while using impdp

I'm unable to import a database using impdp; as soon as I start the impdp cmd it errors out with a memory fault
I was able to previously import 1 TB out of a total of 3 TB, and then got an error related to the new MEMORY_TARGET parameter, complaining about insufficient tmpfs.
I resolved that error, and then after that I can't invoke impdp without the memory fault error as described below..
$ nohup impdp "'/ as sysdba'" JOB_NAME=LANCE_FULL_01 parfile=auexpdp.dat &
[1] 32118
$ nohup: appending output to `nohup.out'
[1] + Memory fault nohup impdp "'/ as sysdba'" JOB_NAME=LANCE_FULL_01 parfile=auexpdp.dat &
$
I also get the following error in the import log
ORA-39012: Client detached before the job started.
This is what my parfile looks like
directory=dmpdir
dumpfile=aexp1_%U.dmp,aexp2_%U.dmp,aexp3_%U.dmp,aexp4_%U.dmp
parallel=8

Has anybody seen this type of error before ?
Thanks

Pl post details of OS and database versions

You should not use '/ as sysdba' for expdp/impdp - use SYSTEM account instead - see the first NOTE sections in these links

Hi,
I am developing a windows phone 8 silver light application .
In my app I am displaying images in web browser control one by one , those images are the web links , the problem is after displaying 2 to 3 images I am getting out of memory exception .
I searched for this exception how to over come , everybody are saying memory profiling ,..etc but really I dont know how to release the memory and how to clear the memory .
In some sites they are adding this
<FunctionalCapabilities>
<FunctionalCapability Name="ID_FUNCCAP_EXTEND_MEM"/>
</FunctionalCapabilities>
by doing this am I free from out of memory exception?
Any help ,
Thanks...

IMac CPU3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB, Extremely slow and repeatedly "out of Memory" since migration from Mountain Lion to Mavericks

Dear Apple Support Community.
As mentioned by a number of users reporting the same problem, my 2009 iMac CPU3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB RAM, has become extremely slow and repeatedly "out of Memory" since it was migrated from Mountain Lion to Mavericks (OS 10.9 then OS 10.9.1).
I have already run CleanMyMac, deleted 5GB of useless stuffs, which did not translate into any improvement. Following the advices collected in other Apple Support Community threads, I have applied EtreCheck the outcome of which is provided below.
For information, I have also upgraded my 2011 MacBook CPU2.3 GHz Core i7, 8GB which became only a bit slower than before, sometimes freezing which it almost never did before. However, I am used to the fact that Mac get usually slower and more prompt fo freeze after upgrading to a more recent OS.
Both my 2009 iMac and my 2011 MacBook have F-Secure installed. So the problem with the 2009 IMac is unlikly to be due to the presence of F-Secure. Interestingly, the few abnormalities found by Etrecheck were exacly identical before I ran CleanMyMac. There are two more findings (mentioned below) since I ran CleanMyMac on the 2009 iMac, which again didn't improve the problem.
So please find below the details of the EtreCheck experience and some additional measurements made with iStat while running EtreCheck:

Please find now some additional measurements collected with iStat while running EtreCheck:
Practically:
The iMac can work slowly with only one software e.g. either Mail or Safari or Firefox, but still the below "out of Memory" message occurs about every 3 minutes.
Aperture has becomre to slow to be useable
If trying to write a mail (with Mail) while Safari or Firefox is open, then the "out of Memory" message occurs about every 20 seconds so I need to check on "Resume" several times per minute.
Conclusions
From the above, unless anyone in the Apple Support Community proves to be able to identify a specific problem leading to a way to find a cure, I tend to conclude that Mavericks is not suitable for computers operating with a Core 2 Duo CPU even with a 8GB of RAM.
Unless I missed something, I did not see any warning from Apple Computer Inc. informing their customers they should refrain from upgrading Core 2 Duo Computers.
The only solution I see so far is to downgrade from Mavericks to Mountain Lion. And the Apple Support Community would confirm that it is the only solution, I would appreciate to get your guidance on how to proceed.
Intended action plan
Migrate the above 2009 iMac to a 2014 Mac Mini Server operating on Mavericks to ensure that no data may be lost while downgrading to Montain Lion.
Provided the above downgrading operation is successful, assign this 2009 iMac to partial retirement e.g. Mail, Skype, iTunes and DVD player.
In advance, I would like to thank the Apple Community for helping me either i) finding a cure to the problem, ii) or confirming that Mavericks cannot operate properly on Core 2 Duo computers, iii) and in such a case, guiding me on how to downgrade to Mountain Lion.
Yours sincerely

... what anti-virus would you recommend using?
Use what is already included with OS X. It already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

HT4059 When I try to load an ePub book it says out of memory. How many books can you read at one time?

When I try to load a second book it says out of memory. How many books can be read at one time?

Thank you so much...
1. I don't have that fat format I checked as I saw this on another answer...BUT...you are right the project was very bloated and I made a new project with the sequence and moved a bunch of projects off to an outside drive and things are flying again...this effect "twirl" was on three clips and this seemed to be creating a problem along with it being a bloated project. Don't know why this effect renders easily then the next second doesn't it's on three clips on the entire project and one or another might not render all of a sudden.
2. I understand what you said about the timeline export...I decided to export the sequence without the matte it was nested in and that sequence did have the chapter markers on the timeline and they again didn't export??? I'll look tomorrow at this it makes no sense if what you're saying is how to do it...the final cut pro book said they should have showed up if I export from the browser and that didn't work either.
3. I then matted that output and rendered it to output but I am worried this will degrade and compress the sequence more than I want by outputting the same sequence with current settings twice???...the couple of outputs I could make nested looked very good as this was one render...however, I tried doing a quicktime "current settings" with the dvd studio pro info still trying to export chapter markers and maybe it's my imagination but the output didn't look as sharp as just an output with just chapter markers???
r. I did look at the final cut pro book and it says that mpeg 2 movies will not read chapter markers anyway if you create one in compressor...if this is true it makes no difference if the quicktime output isn't having chapter markers show up. I assume when I go to author though I can put an mpeg 2 movie into dvd studio pro and create chapter markers at that point!! It seems weird it says it can do it with an mpeg 1 but not an mpeg 2 when everyone is using that for dvds.

Windows Mail could not be started. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you are not out of memory (0x800C0155).

I have Vista SP2. Every time I open Firefox (3.6.13), I get three consecutive error messages:
1) Windows Mail could not be started. The application was unable to open the Windows Mail message store. Your Windows Mail mailbox data is currently being used by another program, such as a virus scanner. Close the program or wait for it to complete its operation, then open Windows Mail again (0x800C0155).
2) Windows Mail could not be started. Make sure that your disk is not full or that you are not out of memory (0x800C0155).
3) Windows Mail could not be started because MSOE.DLL could not be initialized.
This series of messages continue to recur during my Firefox session and eventually will freeze up my session.
I use Gmail. I do not use Windows Mail or Outlook Express and deleted Windows Live Mail. There is a a file named msoe.dll using the path C: /Program Files/Windows Mail. I also found C:/Program Files/Windows Live/RemoteActiveX even though I thought I deleted all Windows Live programs.
I have set Firefox as the default browser. Also, in Firefox, if I click on "File=>Send Link", it triggers the series of three error messages above.
I don't understand why Gmail would reference Winmail. Any ideas how I can fix this? Can I or should I delete the Windows Mail and Windows Live folders?

I have had many problems with permissions on Windows Vista, 7,8 & 81.1. It is usually after an update or installation, especially one that requires a reboot to finish (some AVG, Windows Live, Windows Updates, etc). Once File(s), Folder(s)
and Registry Key(s) permissions are screwed up, it can take days to work them out if ever.
After having spent several hours on a clients PC and online forums with this problem. I transferred her user profile with a free program called
Transwiz (run as Administrator) to a zip file on the HDD. I renamed her user in manage User Accounts to "Username old". I then ran Transwiz again to restore the profile but telling it to create a new user using the original Username.
After it completed restoring the profile, I logged out of "Username old" and logged in to Username and all wass well, I only needed to supply the email password which is not transferred. When you move profile data, all the old permissions
have to be removed and <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> permissions added so the data and files belong to the <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> user. This cleared up all the permission
problems.

Cannot see images occassionally: "Out of memory"

Hi,
I love Lightroom, but have the problem that is really interfering with my work. When I look at a larger collection of images (100+), every now and then the image area will be greyed out, and it will say 'Out Of Memory' in red (upside down and back to front) in the lower left corner.
This never happens when I am looking at thumbnails in Library-mode. It does happen when I am looking one image in Library-mode, in deverloper mode, and frequently in the Slide-show mode. Interestingly enough: when an image is not visible in Library-mode, chances are it is visible in Developer-mode and Slide-show (and vice-versa).
I use Lightroom for a lot of subtle retouching, so I can imagine the files are large. I would understand in Slide-show that the CPU simply doesn't have the time to render the image with all the alterations I apply to it -- but in Developer and Libarary-mode I can wait and wait, and the image nevr shows up. Then I go to Developer, and there it is!
I store my images on a seperate dedicated external harddisk connected through USB 2.0. I have browsed through the forum already, and found a solution in changing the windows pageview setting. I did this, but it made no difference. The problem still occurs with the same frequency. I have not installed LR 1.1 yet; the negative reports on this forum have scared me: I really don't need my database messed up right now.
Any suggestions you might have will be greatly appreciated!

Guys,
Before I start this rant... I LOVE LIGHTROOM... but no more ADOBE, I cannot stand it anymore... sort out the OOM errors now, before I put my Lightroom CD into the shredder and then post this SHAM on every ADOBE forum I can find.
I have experienced the out of memory error 11 times today. I am working with 30,000+ images in Lightroom 1.1 on XP, but only looking through 58 files while doing an import of 100 files I get the "OUT OF MEMORY A2" error. This looks suspiciously like another of the, now famous, debug errors used by the developers to track the 'pain' issues. I would challenge Adobe that they know EXACTLY why this happens, a limitation in the programming techniques for their chosen development platform is highlighting issues in the Windows Memory sub-system and they cannot do diddly squat about it... they are just 'attempting' to clean up memory leaks where they can, by putting markers (A2) into the code. It would seem that they are down a creek without the proverbial paddle.
Tom Hogarty & ADOBE listen up... stabilize the memory issues stop listening to your marketing bods who are probably leaning over your shoulder as I write these words. You are going to suffer at the hands of Aperture and Capture One if you dont get your act together. I have used both of the above with little or NO errors at all.
Tell us ADOBE why do none of your engineers or developers talk openly about OOM errors, stop silencing them... lets get a discussion going there are some very capable developers out there willing to help for FREE! Are you mad... admit the problems and get people to help... Open Standards could teach you guys a thing or two!
Remember for everyone of of us that actually has the balls to complain, there are a 1000 who just sit and suffer not knowing what to do!
Fix the OOM issues before you do anything else this week!! Provide an interim 1.1.x update and make people happy they bought ADOBE and above all else remember at the end of the day these people PAY your wages.
...Now where is my Capture One license key...

Out of Memory error when trying to move a clip into Viewer

I thought I had learned a trick for correcting when I get an error message that reads "General Error" and then "Error: Out of Memory" when I attempt to move a clip from my Browser over to the Viewer so that I can edit before moving into my timeline.
This really isn't that large a movie project and I have plenty of space on my Mac. It is just occuring in this project.

You need to ask your question on the Finbal Cut Studio forum. It sorts like the clip is not in a suppored format.

JavaScript Out of Memory Error on Portal timeout.

Hello All,
I am using jsf and Inline navigation in all our portlets and when user leave the browser idle for portal timeout we have 2 problems. 1: Login portlet shows in that specific portlet. 2: we get a javascript alert saying out of memory at line 40. and the porltet shows error message as "Gateway was not able to access requested content. If the error persists, contact your portal Administrator."
We are using Plumtree 5.0.4 Java version.
any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
A.J.

Both are valid behaviors unfortunately.
1) login portlet is showing up in specific portlet b/c inline navigation allows for you to create and load pages without affecting the overall portal.
This happens when you use iframes (which behave in a similar fashion).
- your only workaround is really to write some javascript function to "listen" to the portal login page getting loaded and then throwing the session into the parent browser (which is Portal). At least this is the only solution that I ever came up with when using Iframes.
2) Don't know about out of memory error actually, but getting the "gatewy was not able to access requested content" is valid b/c the session died.
- javascript errors require javascript solutions. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful than that.
Maybe someone else will have better suggestions.
The other suggestion is to use your app server to listen to the logout event and redirect appropriately to somewhere else, or have it do what you want it to do in situations as this.

N97 out of memory errors

The product is N97, you don’t have in you drop down list!!!
I have had my n97 for about 10 days now and everything was going brilliant. It is a stunning piece of kit.
However on day 11. I repowered the n97, it kept on hanging the eventually got to boot after 20 attempts, but it was useless could not look up contacts. So I had taskman installed and killed loads of processes and uninstalled all the apps. It became usable as a very basic phone, but sluggish. Could use browser, maps, photos.
The problem is I keep on experiencing out of memory errors on the phone, when I try to do basic things. I don’t know how to resolve this. I have rebooted, reset the phone to factory settings.
Deleted data, uninstalled more apps and still no joy!! I cannot connect to ovi/pc suite to up grade the phone or roll it back.
Symptoms the phone is sluggish it is still virtually unusable. It just barely make phones and is slow to respond to touch-screen presses and key presses.
The taskman app says the is 47 mb free on C: drive. So I cant see what the problem is!!!
I have always bought nokia for 10 years, never experience this sort of thing before. I am really disappointed with this.
Anybody else experienced this? Any ideas?
Many thanks

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Copyless thanks for the tip. Kudos added :-)
I had the same problem a friend was trying to bluetooth some videos to me and I was getting Memory problem, How embarasing after a few min of my mates being impressed with the phone, and me praising it and talking about so much space and blah blah blah.
I could not receive videos via bluetooth because they were 5MB. WHY on EARTH can they not default this to the E: drive.
Whoever made that decision in NOKIA should be fired what an idiot.
Also when I finally got to get the pictures on the phone via a computer I could not see them via the "Photos" I had to go via the File Manager and see one by one. AARRRRRRRRGHHH I am getting to the point that I am going to return this phone.

Out of memory error to view AVI files

Hi everyone,
I've imported 6 AVI files from the same source into the browser. All work fine except for 2 of them. When I click on those files in the browser to preview them in the viewer, I receive 2 messages: the first one is 'general error', the second 'out of memory'. What strikes me is that in the browser, the duration marks 0 although the files are respectively 4MB and 1,6MB. I've compared them to the 4 others and they are similar. Any idea would be welcome. Many thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum!
AVI files don't work with FCP. FCP is based in Quicktime. You will need to convert all you AVI files to an quicktime editing codec like ProRes or DV-NTSC You can find a list of editing codecs in FCP's Easy Setup. You can use Compressor to convert the files.

General Error (34) and Out of Memory Msgs

I've been editing footage for a video for quite some time (several weeks). I have several folders in my media browser depicting different scenes. However, there is only one folder with media clips that yield the message (General Error {34} followed by the Out of Memory message)..
However, when I go to other clips and click on them, I do not get those messages. Everything's fine...I can see them in the Viewer, no problem and I can edit as appropriate. It only seems to be with that one set of media clips...So (and I'm afraid to ask) am I staring at a corrupt set of media clips in this folder? What's a way to remedy this?
Thanks,
Henri

Yes... Yet there is so much information around this and so many different iterations to the solutions that the right solution for my particular case is not that easily discernible. Some suggest removing old preferences, others suggest memory and/or corrupt file issues. I've already run Diskwarrior to see if partition/drive problems exist, which was another discussion thread...
I'm not sure if my situation, being that only one browser media file that has this problem could be directly addressed.
I simply want some 2nd opinions regarding it.

Out of memory error? Are we serious?

When using AIM on Mac OS 9, if I talk enough (litterally, it's related to how much I IM), I'll eventually get an "Out of memory, please close some open apps" or something like that.
I have 1GB of RAM! And from what I see in About This Mac, I have like 891MB free! Is this why people hated Mac OS 9's memory management? It just seems "Stupid" to say the least..

Hi, Transgenic -
In OS 9, most programs have a static memory allocation - it can not be changed on the fly in response to need. The OS itself and SimpleText are a couple of exceptions - their memory allocations are dynamic, capable of being increased in response to need (SimpleText only a small amount, though).
Other programs can not grab more memory than the amount which has been allocated for them, and they must grab that at the beginning when they first load. The solution then is to incease the memory allocation, allowing them to grab more when they are started up. The item to increase is the Preferred allocation amount -
Article #TA21666 - Assigning More Memory to an Application
Note that the program can not be running when doing the Get Info, and that the Get Info must be done on the icon of the program itself, not on an alias to it or a folder.
You may need to experiment with increasing the Preferred amount, until you get sufficient into it to handle your needs. Doubling the original Preferred amount is often a good starting point.
Don't be shy about raising it a lot if that seems to be needed. For example, Diablo II - in order to run it with Virtual Memory disabled (which is what I prefer), I've added 410,000 to its original 77,500 allocation.

The memory usage bars shown in About This Computer show relative usage. One trick to monitor accurately the memory usage of a program while it is running is to open About This Computer, turn Balloons on ("Show Balloons" in the Help menu), then hover the cursor over the memory bar for a program in About This Computer (don't click) - the balloon that appears will display the memory usage in exact numbers.
<hr>
Is this why people hated Mac OS 9's memory management?
I've never hated it; it is what it is. Like most things that get in my way, I learn to work with or around it.

It just seems "Stupid" to say the least..
I don't think "Stupid" is an appropriate description. It is unreasonable to expect an OS version that was first coded nearly 10 years ago (the initial release of OS 9), and one whose roots are 25 years old (OS 1 in 1984), to be as proficient in some things as more modern OS's, such as OSX.
It would be like finding fault with a 1960's automobile for not having air conditioning or airbags or disk brakes.

Out of Memory message -- even with a blank sequence!

Not sure what happened, but all of a sudden I can't get any timelines to open. Even if I just start up the program without any open sequences, when I click on the empty "Sequence 1" I get the dreaded Error: Out of Memory message. I've tried the usual fixes, but nothing seems to help. I recently ran Cache Out (to delete various caches) and Monolingual (to get rid of non-English language support files), I wonder if something essential got trashed?

Got 10GB or so on both my external hard drive (which I'm not even using now), as well as the internal one. My media is on the external, but to simplify I disengaged it and am just trying to load ANYTHING. Just working on my internal drive, which I have permission to use, of course. I've got 1.25GB of RAM, no issue there. Activity Monitor was a good idea, in fact it occurred to me a few minutes ago and I checked that, didn't see any obvious problems.
I trashed the preferences numerous times, deleted some old files, was going to dump the render files -- but I realized it's irrelevant, since it won't even open a blank file. Here's further evidence of the weirdness -- when the blank project opens up, it gives me the Browser window, and I can get the Viewer to open (but never the Timeline). However, if I try to open up anything in the Viewer, it immediately disappears! I'm losing my mind...
