Cineware Not using enough Ram

Hey all, I have 24gb of ram and after effects projects without Cineware use 20gb of that combined (aeselflink+cache etc) in general.
With Cineware, only 8gb or ram total is used with aeselflinks using on 133mb (vs. .4 gb) with Cineware itself only using 400mb.
Is there a way to up the ram usage or does Cineware/Cinema 4d lite bottleneck everything? Is Cinema 4d lite crippled in ram usage? I've experimented with allocating more ram /cores to other apps but doesn't seem to help the render time or the 12 gbs of ram left on the table doing nothing.
Any insight on how to get it to utilize more ram or does the c4d plug in cap everything since it's free?

AE tends to use all the RAM it's allowed, but only if it needs it. Cineware needs a lot of CPU resources to render. It may not need the RAM at all if it's waiting on the CPU to calculate something.

Logic 8 not using all RAM

I'm running Logic 8 on a MacPro 8-core with 13 GB of RAM, but Logic always crashes once it's used about 6.5 GB of memory. I'm trying to run a lot of sample libraries and plugins at once (Vienna Instruments, EWQLSO with Kontakt2, Stylus, EXS24 instruments, etc.), but it reaches a limit and crashes, telling me "could not allocate enough memory" and other memory messages like that. How can I get Logic to use the rest of my RAM that's just sitting there?

Ok here's your first problem... 13 gigs of ram. If you read and pay attention to Apple's info, you'll see that they highly recommend you pair up the RAM chips and use the same ones, otherwise you're using 64bit memory addressing as opposed to 128, which of course means processing things faster. Look at your RAM configuration and look at which ones are not paired up, I'm thinking you have a pair of 512MB DIMMS in there which should be taken out, yes you'll lose a gig, big deal, you'll gain speed.
Second, Logic can't use more than 4 gigs of RAM. It's not a 64bit application. 64bit as it's compiled, I am not talking about the audio engine. The fact that it reaches 6.5GB is because EXS24 has its way of starting up more processes which can use 4gigs of ram Each. Logic itself is not using the 4 gigs.
The reason you crash is because one of the plugins you're using is not written properly to let Logic know that it's running out of RAM, and hence Logic tried to take up more and crashes because it can't address more than 4gigs of ram, and when it does... boom. As an example of that, BFD 1.5 used to be like that, until FX rewrote their code to work properly, and now when BFD2 tries to get above what Logic is capable of, it stops loading samples and throws up a little popup telling you you're running out of memory.
Your problem is not logic, it's one of those plugins which is not written properly.

How can I possibly not have enough RAM?

I've just bought a brand-new Mac Pro, with 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-core Xeon processors, and upgraded the RAM to 12GB. My video-card is a Radeon HD 5770. I opened a panorama in Photoshop CS5, and wanted to fill the missing areas with a 'content-aware' fill to avoid the inevitable heavy cropping. After selecting the area with a magic-wand, then going to edit>fill (content aware checked) it says there's not enough RAM to complete the process. WHAT??
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

There may be something more helpful in search results I saw:

Do you see any PAGE OUT or growth in SWAP FILES?
Is primary scratch pointing to a dedicated drive?
Is media data on its own drive?
How large are these files going to be?
If (lack) of memory, or you want to get the most out of CS5 (and some users do find they need 24-32-48GB), maybe 6 x 4GB the next time? I'd say 12GB for 8-core w/ CS5 is a base config. Assuming you have 6 x 2GB, I'd look into maybe adding 2 x 4GB (you can't use 8GB DIMMs with any other density RAM).

When More is Less
... the internal CS5 code architecture was designed for 2-4 cores some years ago, and is algorithmically inappropriate for systems with more than 4 cores—hence minimal improvement when going from 4 to 6 cores, and a sharp degradation beyond that. Will Adobe fix this? We can hope, but past actions are a strong predictor of the future.

For CS5 I would have gone with 6-core 3.33GHz ($3600) and 3 x 8GB RAM. Dual processor or 8-core sytems are not your best configuration - GHz matter and 'sharing' data across dual processor still has to go over a link, fast, but not ideal, plus Westmere chips have 12MB L3 Cache.

648 Max - Identifying but not using both RAM modules

Hi!
I'm totally new here, just stumbled across this forum while googling for a solution to my problem, so please excuse my lack of proper terminology if that should occur.
I have the following system (data obtained from Everest 2.20 and own brain):
P4 2,80 GHz, no OC, no HT
2x Crucial PC2700 DDR-DIMM 1024MB 2,5-3-3-7 @ 166 MHz
MSI 648Max (MS-6585)
PowerColor Radeon X1950Pro AGP 256MB GDDR3, no OC
Thermaltake Toughpower 850W Modular
Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 160GB IDE
BIOS (this is my weak spot...) Everest says BIOS type AMI, dated 28/1/2003, no info other than that
WinXP Home SP3 + all updates AFAIK
In general, the system is originally ready-built Fujitsu-Siemens system from 2002 (i think), but heavily modified by me (RAM upgrade, HDD upgrade, several GPU and PS upgrades).
My problem is that the computer only occasionally uses both RAMs (i.e. showing 2,00GB RAM in My Computer's properties). More often than not, however, it only shows 1,00GB RAM. AFAIK this problem is pretty recent, and did not occur when the RAM was new and installed by me. I have tried to systematically testing the two different RAM modules separately in each of the three DIMM slots, and the computer booted and ran Windows desktop at idle without problems in all configurations. I therefore dismissed the possibility of both MB and RAM failure, and reinstalled both modules in DIMM 1 & 2, where they have always been located. The computer ran with 2,00GB of RAM for a day, then reverted back to only 1,00GB the next morning. Tried moving the RAM in DIMM 2 to DIMM 3, and the computer ran another day on 2,00GB. However, this morning it was back to 1,00GB again.
Through all this, Everest 2.20 has always detected both RAMs in the correct slots, but have displayed 1024 and 2048MB memory on the System Summary page. Rebooting the computer without dismantling it and fiddling with the modules does apparently not change the usable amount of RAM back to 2,00GB when stuck at 1,00GB.
Anybody know what the issue might be (since none of the components seem to be faulty by themselves) and how to solve it? Please keep in mind that my BIOS skills are shoddy at best (but successfully flashed the BIOS once by help of an official guide, no stability issues after the upgrade), so detailed instructions regarding that might be a bit over my head. The same goes for overclocking or manually adjusting any voltages or freqs, which I've never tried.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Apparently a total power-off reboot (power down, PS power switch off, push and hold power button till lights go out, switch back on, power up) seems to reset the RAM to the correct amount of 2GB. Any clues?

The voltage to the memory might need to be raised one notch. That adjustment is done in the bios.
You can download the motherboard manual from this link. http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloadfile&dno=3576&type=manual
Section 3 page 27 thru 28 cover the adjustment of the memory voltage.
This is for a retail motherboard. I do not know if your motherboard has this in its bios. It is in a section under Frequency/Voltage Control

After Effects not using free RAM?

Hi there
Just like to ask question regarding after effects and ram usage.
I remember before I installed the app Memory Booster - that allows you to keep track of how much ram, there was a healthy use of RAM there from after effects.
But i noticed today, whilst rendering and doing background cache rendering, the free RAM still available stays at around 4GB and I am wondering why it's not using this free RAM to help faster rendering?
this is my current multi-processing/ram settings on AE- essentially it should be using up to 6.5 GB of RAM as i allocated as I need faster rendering? Just wondering why it's staying stuck at around 3-4GB of free RAM on my system when it could clearly be used by AE. I want AE to use the RAM as it is the only running program on my system when i work!
Memory Booster down to 3.18GB with one safari tab open for Adobe forums, when exiting, it jumps back up to 4GB free RAM
Confused!
Thanks

Different projects, different footage attributes, different AE features used, different effects used, different delivery specs....
...are you comparing apples to apples, or apples to ORANGES? We don't know that.

Hi , I have just started using adobe illustrator cs5 and I get a warning that I do not have enough ram to complete the task. How do i solve this?

The System overview shows I have 4gb of ram but in the L2 cache 3mb are used. ??
any ideas
Thanks

Hello,
I find 4GB barely enough for the OS itself, you can upgrade to as much as 16 GB of RAM...

RI bought CS 6 in May 2014. I have an HP computer that was purchased in May 2013, but it is a 32 bit computer.I cannot currently use PS as it says I do not have enough RAM.

chased 8 GB of Ram and the computer only sees 4 GB. Is this enough to run PS? I was sent a disk to upgrade the computer to 64 bits, but I will have to re-install everything I guess including PS. Is there any other way around this?

On a 32 bit system, no app can use more than 2-3 GB of RAM. That's why 64 bit was invented, to get over this.
Still, the message is weird because Photoshop should run. There's probably something else wrong.

Problem with CS2 Not Having Enough RAM

Every time I start Illustrator CS2 I get the message "The operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM)available." System requirements for CS2 is 256MB of RAM (512MB recommended) and I'm running 4GB of RAM. Does anyone know what could be the problem here?

Where would I find that folder? I looked under C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS2 and there is no settings folder.

I have a 24 In iMac 7,1. I want to update my software to Mountain Lion, but I do not have enough RAM to do so. Can you walk me through steps to upgrade my memory. I am new to this and would like to add at least 6 GB of memory in preparation for new update

I would like to do this, but I just want you to know that I am not an expert so some things I would like you to be clear on.

Initial load of Leopard not enough RAM - locks everything - HELP ME PLEASE

I am given options: "OK" or "Restart" - I have tried both options with no success. At this point I just want to eject the installation disc, but everything is locked. I tried turning off and back on about 15 times, it always just starts the load process from the beginning and repeats the same message: "This computer does not have enough RAM. For Mac OS X system requirements, see the "Read before you install" document on your Mac OS X installation disc. Choose: OK or Restart.
Please help me, PLEASE!!! Thank you very much.

What about trying a PRAM reset for the blue screen thingy ??
"PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys."
And what about using TARGET MODE, if you have another mac, to install Snow.

Not enough Ram memory and cannot save due to a program error in photoshop cs6

Hi, I'm currently a beginner at photoshop cs6, and I've been using it since december last year, mostly to draw stuff and it has worked fine with few to no errors at all.
However, recently when I've been drawing, the same message keeps popping up over and over again "Can't use (tool) due to the computer not having enough ram" followed by either "cannot save due to program error" or, it just simply crashes.
This is obviously a something that worries me A LOT since at first, I thought that it was just a small error, but recently, it's been like this for several day s and I've been forced to re-start the computer (and photoshop) countless times... It really slows down my working progress and is VERY annoying to deal with.
As a beginner though, I don't really know how to fix this. I've been trying to look up some answers on this site, but I've just not found any answer yet...
I'm currently using photoshop cs6 that's up to date and I've got lots of memory left on my computer, so, I'm wondering. What exactly is the cause of this problem, and how can I fix it? Please answer as fast as you can.. I'm getting a bit desperate...
Oh, in case you're wondering, they're all saved as PSD files and every single one of them has about 15+ layers on them.

It would help if you could list a few things:
1. Your operating system
2. How much physical RAM do you actually have in your machine?
3. Under Preferences > Performance, have you allocated "Scratch Disk(s)"?
4. Also under Preferences > Performance > Memory Usage, what is the "Ideal Range" listed there, and what % is "Let Photoshop Use"?

PS CC 2014 requires less than what my laptop is capable of, but still says "not enough ram". Help?

I have an Acer Aspire with Windows 7. I downloaded Photoshop CC 2014, which said it's requirements were less than what my laptop has, plus I upgraded the ram to 8 already. If I go to lighting, it opens, stalls, then says not enough ram, and another message about making sure things are enabled, etc etc, which I have already done. What do I do?

It says ram on one message, and talks about graphics card on another. The first message that pops up says the 3D feature require that "use graphics processor is enabled in the performance preferences. Your video card must meet the minimum requirement and you may need to check that your driver is working correctly. Once that message is closed the next message that pops up says unable to perform function you do not have enough RAM.

Need help saving this document...says not enough RAM

I have Photoshop Elements 5.0. I have been working on some yearbook pages and had no problem saving the photo-heavy pages. I had all the photos and photo pages closed and started working on a page that was all text. Toward the end of the page I tried to save it and was told I did not have enough RAM. I had 19 layers of text so far...is that why it won't save? I know I can allocate more RAM but it won't take effect until I restart the program. Is there any way to save the work I have already done?

Close any other open documents.
If you have any other applications running, close those.
In pse5 go to Edit>Purge and choose All.
See if that makes any difference.

Macbook Pro "Not Enough Ram"

Hi,
On my early 2008 Macbook Pro I keep recieving an error message for not having enough RAM from PS CC.
PS CS6 works fine and has always, however with CC I keep recieving this error message at times even before I open a single image. Once its starts I cannot even File>close PS
I have done the preferences erase, and tried to see how to switch from 32/64 Bit (Which I could not figure out how to do as it is not in my "Get Info" tab) to no success.
Please Help!

The error is somewhat generic. Make sure you have enough free disk space (10 -20%) and enough scratch disk area. You will not be able to run 3D with only 256m of VRAM.
