When i double click on a file in AI (CS6) I get the message: Can't open the illustration. There is not enough room for the window. Increase document are and try again

We can't know. We know nothing about your system nor your documents since you haven't told us.

Can't Open the Illustration. There is not enough room for the window;

This is more of a nusance than an actual problem. But, when I double click on an AI document to open it the Illustrator window will shrink down to what is in the attached image and throw an error. The error reads "Can't open the Illustration. There is not enough room for the window; increase document area and try again."
I can drag and drop the file into Illustrator and file>open of course, but the double-click method isn't working.
I'm not sure if this is a Windows 7 issue or an Illustrator issue.

dual monitors. And i'm on windows so the application frame cannot be toggled.
I was able to fix it. Detached the application and then resized the scrunched window. that seems to have done the trick. Weird since I had never squeezed it all the way down like that.
thanks! Didn't know about the preferences reset.

Can't open the illustrator. There is not enough room for the window.

hello all,
I've seen this asked before. But no real solution has been found.
I'm working with both Ps and Ai and A LOT of Ai files embedded in Ps (smart objects). Don't ask
The problem is that whenever I want to open a smart object illustrator shrinks to tiny size and that message pops up (Can't open the illustrator. There is not enough room for the window. etc etc). That happens mostly when the illustrator is already open.
There has to be a solution other than deleting the preference folder (have too many other preferences there that I do not want to set up again, like color prefs etc) And btw, I've seen people saying the problem actually comes back fairly soon.
It's worth mentioning that it started slow - at first it was opening illy just half the maximized size.
Shift+Close (X on the top) that used to help with apps that do not want to open in a right size, is not helping. Only solution is to open (double click smart object) it once, shift+closing and opening it again.
That however is NOT helping the productivity. Luckily at the workshop I do have a very fast PC that opens illy in about second/ second and a half, but for one that I have at home I would hang myself before I could do some proper work.
Adobe tech support has nothing.
REALLY? This aint a freeware to have this type of flaw for YEARS from what I read (at least since CS4)
Really frustrated here.
OS: Win 7 64bit
Adobe ver.: Ps and Illy - CS6
A.S.

Thank you for pointing me to that thread. I've seen it and:
1. problem described is different
2. not a single permanent fix (I mean cmon, 'resize the window by draggin it bigger' or 'alt+O to open') Not looking for ECDL type of help.
Also, as I mentioned in my first post, thrashing settings folder is not an option.
It's an expensive product and it has to have a proper fix. Am I not in the right place?

Can't open the illustration. There is not enough room for the window; increase document area and try

Hi there,
Running Illustrator CS6 on a PC. Everytime I try to open a illustrator file from windows explorer the error written in the subject line come up. I resize the illustrator window to full screen, however upon opening the file again, the window shrinks and the same error comes up. I am still able to open files if I go file>open in the illustrator menu....
this is just a minor annoyance and want a solution to this problem please?

Hi Ben,
Have updated Illustrator yet? I would suggest to first reset the preferences to see if that helps. Are you using a dual monitor display or any 3rd party plugins?

I keep getting this warning all of a sudden when I try to open any file. CS6 on a Windows machine. Dell Studio 17 that normally screams on any program. Please help asap. thanks

No one has heard of this?

Illistrator CS6 Not Enough Room For The Window Error; Windows 7 64 bit

Illistrator CS6 Not Enough Room For The Window Error; Windows 7 64-bit
Recieved the same error on files under 2mb; was able to resolve by MAXIMIZING Illistrator window prior to opening file. If that failed, issue was resolved by closing app, removing settings folder from AppData\Adobe and restarting Illistrator. Now, any file over 15mb is unable to open even when attempting the above steps. Also uninstallled and reinstalled app with same results.
Please advise.

Hi this has happened to me as well. I have been using a file for weeks and this morning I got this message "there is not enough room for the window".
Can someone help me/us? would this be a bug in Illustrator. I have never gottten this error before...
Thank you so much.

I have an iPhone 5S, with iOS 8.1.2 I am trying to do a system restore but the message I get on the desktop is that there is not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is required?

I had an important app. (Memos by bluemarblesoftware.com) that I accidentally deleted. It of course had many memos, some with quite a lot of information. I did sync my phone on a regular basis and I think the memos should be on the desktop computer. I tried to do a restore function but I got a message saying there was not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is needed?

generally you need 1.90gb
what you can do is back up your phone to your computer before doing the update, just as a precaution.

Pretty sure it doesn’t say there is not enough room in iTunes library because it is not backed up to the iTunes library.
What is the exact message?

Can anyone help? I've just got my new iphone 6. I'm restoring from the icloud but it's saying there's not enough storage for my photos....and I'm unable to access any images. Help appreciated

Hi,
I've just moved on from an iphone 5 to an iphone 6.
I'm now on my second attempt at restoring it through the icloud.
My photos and videos are unavailable and it keeps saying I'm low on storage. At this stage it just keeps saying it's updating but it's been saying that for 8 hours and I still don;t have any photos available....any advice appreciated. It's getting a little frustating
Thanks,
Emma

The backup cannot be restored to the iPhone if there is not enough storage space available.

Time Machine failed because there is not enough room on the ext HD

Time Machine has been working great for a year or so, but just today I got an error message stating that it cannot backup because the ext HD hasn't enough available space.
I was under the impression that Time Machine deleted older backup content, to make room for the new? I deleted about 30GB of stuff on my internal HD, which provided enough room for this backup, but I'm anticipating the problem to reoccur.
What's up with this? Does Time Machine automatically delete old backup content to make room for the new, or what?

I'm starting to think that perhaps the smaller TM partition was overwhelmed by the amount of data it had to backup. I didn't realize how quickly the 2 partitions it was responsible for filled up.
Yes. I'm still unsure how much data, total, you're trying to backup, but your TM space is clearly filled-up now.
The usual "rule of thumb" is, TM needs 2-3 times the space of whatever it's backing up. But it actually depends almost entirely on how you use your Mac. If you change lots of big files very frequently, then even 3 times may not be enough. But if you're a light user, you might get by with 1.5 times.
And no, you shouldn't have to manually delete backups under ordinary circumstances. TM will manage it's backups and space for you, +if it can.+
If you haven't seen it, TM's procedure is to do hourly backups and keep them for 24 hours, except the first of the day, which it keeps for 30 days. After 30 days, it makes one per week into a weekly backup which it keeps for as long as it has room. If it can't keep to this schedule, it will fail and you must decide what to do.
This can happen, of course, if there just isn't enough room. It can also happen if you suddenly put a large amount of other data in it's partition (it does need a fair amount of free space to work with).
It can also happen if TM needs to do a full backup instead of an incremental, which happens if you don't let it do any backups for several days (10, I think); or after a full system restore; or after certain hardware is replaced.
TM also can get confused if you change, move, or delete things from it's backups via the Finder; use the TM interface instead. There, you can delete a whole backup, or all backups of a particular file, etc.
Ok good to know, is there a "best-practices" Apple tutorial for TM?
Not really. Apple help has some, as does this article and the links in it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1770 but, as with most apps, detailed documentation isn't available, not even a FAQ section.
If I have to manually remove old backups, I'm more likely to find a new backup solution.
You might have to, but then you lose the ability to recover a recent previous version of a file that got deleted or changed in error, or somehow corrupted.
Your best bet is more space for TM and/or less to back up. If you have some old data that rarely if ever gets changed, you might consider copying it to DVDs, then excluding it from TM.
And I hate to add to your woes, but do you have anything off-site? As great as external drives are, they may not protect you from fire, flood, theft, direct lightning strike on your power lines, etc.

When i try to finalize or export to anything from iMovie it tells me there is not enough room in the heap zone. What should i do?

also sometimes it has said there is not enough RAM memory and when i quite and rsesatrt it, it will work.

"Usually, memory is allocated from a large pool of unused memory area called the heap"

TS4062 I am completely frazzled! My iPhone 4s says I'm over my GB's so now I can't even delete ANYTHING, not even my texts! also when I try to sync with Itunes it says there is not enough room in the itunes library for me to sync. What do I do now?

I REALLY need help!!! My iPhone 4s is apparently OVER the amount of GB its supposed to have so it now will not even let me delete ANYTHING! Not my texts, apps- to free up space, NOTHING! It keeps kicking me off my email, wont let me get voicemail,see who last called on my "recents", wont let me send or receive text's or even let me change things in my settings. Now when I go to iTunes to sync, so I can try to free up space, iTunes sais there isn't enough space in its library for all my stuff so it WON'T sync either!!! I'm frozen and I have A LOT of VERY important stuff on my phone that I REALLY need! Can anyone tekk me what to do? PLEASE!!!!

First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

I have a problem since installing ios6 when backing up to a laptop I got a message stating there was not enough room on the c: drive, the iTunes bar indicated that apps, etc were using space, but the yellow 'others' category was eating up all the space

I'm running out of space on the bar that shows the usage split (how many gb's for apps photos, music etc) the yellow 'others' category seems to be taking up all the available space. This is happening after updating to ios6. I don't seem to be able to get the backup on my laptop to complete successfully. I'm also unable to get Music to work on the phone. The picture of the cloud appears on screen, sometimes the blue bar appears, but after a while it bombs out and nothing else happens. Any ideas?

It does not immediately delete the files that are missing.. it merely tries to backup the new files it has discovered on the external drive. Since you moved the files there, the backup at least for a while will contain both copies.. and that is why it doesn't have enough space to backup.
Fixing the problem.. hmm pondini is the expert.. you should be able to delete the backup of the photos in existing backup.. there are instructions to do it.. but it is a very poor way to do things.
Much better. .archive off the existing backup.. this is long and slow but worth it. you need a usb drive of the same size as the TC drive. Then erase the TC and start a fresh set of backups.
The alternative is to use the USB drive as a new target.. but it is much slower than the TC internal drive.

I just spent two weeks editing a video for a big client in iMovie and now it's not allowing me to export because there's not enough room in the heap zone. Please help. How can I ever trust this software again?

iMovie is gonna make me go insane. please help.

What do you want to do with the movie now that you have finished it?
You can either share it and export to executable (share>export) or finalize the project and open it in iDVD (share>media browser). Either way, the share often will work with much less memory usage than file>finalize. I had this problem recently, and I was about to throw the computer. The share to media browser worked perfectly because i then burned to a disc using iDVD. Not sure what you want to do with it, but I hope this helps,

Imovie 11 Can't Export Movies NOT ENOUGH ROOM IN THE HEAP ZONE!

I have plenty of space on my hard drive, no other programs are running, and the video being exported is only 6 minutes and 57 seconds long.
I am working on a short film and 90% of the time that I try and export it in 720 I get an error, because there is not enough room in the heap zone. Then after I restart the computer if I am lucky I can get it to export 1 out of 10 trys. It has nothing to do with the title I give the video.
I need the video exported in 1080, but it gives me the same error EVERY TIME! Even when I export to quicktime and use various settings I keep getting the same heap zone error. What is the deal!?! I have exported an hour long documentary and didn't have this problem. I erased all my previous projects and events and still I get this error
UNABLE TO EXPORT MOVIE
The movie could not be exported because an error occurred. (Not enough room in the heap zone /)
HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!

I have the same problem when trying to export a 720P movie to iTunes. Reboot did not help nor did renaming the project. I have an older MacPro with dual 3.0s, 11 Gb Ram and slightly less than 1Tb free space on the boot drive. This is a software issue, not a hardware problem. Apple please fix the myriad of problems with iMovie 11. My productivity has ground to a halt with my 4 month old iLife Software. How did this software ever pass muster!!!!! I can't believe anyone would purchase the new version of Final Cut given the horrible product you've included with the last iLife Set. This is an example of why I left the Microsoft Windows community. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!! I usually create 4 to 5 movies a month for the flying community I live in. I have completed one since January, and it was a mess due to software glitches. My attempt to re-render an old iMovie 9 creation has been met with failure. I have projects backing up and really have no desire to finish them or create others as iMovie 11 is no longer fun since it is broken. I'm tired of iPhoto 11 and iMovie crashing or not working and the reason for spending more on an Apple product no longer exists. Outdated expensive hardware and buggy software. Time to sell my APPL stock like Bob Mansfield, You're ignoring your core supporters and are living off the hype of the iPhone/iPad. The poor economy has allowed your "halo effect" to endure many recent short-comings - (Mobile Me (how slow and expensive can it be to stream a personal home movie - but don't worry you don't need Blu-Ray)), Mail (why do I keep getting duplicate emails in my drafts folder? and why is it always losing my password - just like Mail on my iPhone), Never providing a stable video card for 2006 Mac Pros, Crippled iPhone 4 for Verizon, no iPad Flash support, iLife Crapware)............where's the Tylenol!!!!! I need it since I promised an iMovie project for a friend's memorial that I am now unable to deliver.
