Computer is low on memory even though I have 100GB available

Trying to use my programs like Adobe Bridge keeps crashing and saying I'm low on memory even tough I have 90-100GB of free space. All other programs are closed and I tried clearing the memory in the system terminal program. Any ideas on what's going on!? - Also I have added lots of memory maxing the slots out at 16GB 1333 MHz DDR3

The Adobe error is spurious since you obviously have an abundant amount of memory available.
It is possible that Adobe is unable to write to its cache file, a location on your Mac for Adobe to store data such as thumbnail and preview images, and Adobe Bridge is erroneously reporting that inability as insufficient memory.
You should really solicit Adobe's help for this problem, but if you are willing to continue pursuing it here consider the following:
Open Disk Utility - it's in your Mac's Utilities folder. In the column on the left, locate your Mac's startup volume. It is an icon located below the uppermost icon and is usually named "Macintosh HD". Select it and click the Repair Disk Permissions button. It will take a few moments to complete. Many "Permissions differ... " and "Repaired... " messages will appear, perhaps hundreds of them. They are not important, but if any errors appear please describe them.
When Disk Utility finishes with the message Permissions repair complete, quit Disk Utility and determine if Adobe Bridge continues to report the low memory condition.

Install more RAM in the computer; the Mac needs to have at least 2GB of RAM and should have 4GB or more first.

I have installed the most recent version of Snow Leopard on my MAC, and I am trying to install Mountain Lion from the Apple Store. It will not install, because it says I do not have 2GB of memory, even though I have over 200GB available. Please help.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
One thing is the memory, and another thing is the hard disk space. You are telling me that you have 200 GB of free space on the hard disk, but the App Store is telling you that you have to install 2 GB of memory or more on your Mac if you want to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, open  > About this Mac > More Info, and copy "Model Identifier" here, so we can know what Mac you have got and how much memory you can install.
We recommend to buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) because you won't probably have any problem with the memory you buy there

No memory even though I have a media card

I only have about 20 pics on my phone (saved on media card) & it says I have no room for more pictures. I have no idea what is taking up all my memory space, or where to look in the phone to find out. Also- I had a couple of short videos & they just disappeared.

Hi 1132christy and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
What size media card do you currently have in your BlackBerry smartphone? Can you verify that your pictures are set to save on your media card? From the Camera, press the menu button and chosoe Options to see the option.
Thanks.

ScanToPCActivationApp.exe is using a lot of memory even though the printer is off.

ScanToPCActivationApp.exe is using a lot of memory even though the printer is off.
Upon computer boot up, Task Manager shows it is using 45mb, and after researching this topic using IE, 10 minutes later it now shows it is using 74 mg, although it did go down to 33 mg a few minutes later, then back up to 51 mg a few minutes after that.
Is there a way to keep it from using so much memory when the printer is turned off?.
I am running Windows 7 on a Samsung Series 7 laptop and my printer is an HP 8600 All-in-one. I do use ePrintCenter occasionally, and also have a MacBook Pro (running Mountain Lion), and iPhone 4 (running the latest IOSupdate) and all devices connect to the printer wirelessly.
Please let me know if there is more info that you require. Thank you in advance!

The best thing to do is uninstall iTunes and install turn to him, but another look from thedownload page do not you reinstall the exe you have already installed ahy maybe youriTunes installer is in bug

The window couldn't be opened because your computer is low on memory. Please close some windows and try again.

When attempting to reply to or forward email, or to compose a new message in Outlook OWA I receive the following error message: "The window couldn’t be opened because your computer is low on memory. Please close some windows and try again." This
occurs even if the web application is the only window open.
My operating system is Windows 7.

Hello,
According to the error message, it should be a Windows issue.
Try OWA and see if we can send/receive email properly. If OWA works fine, I suggest we post this question to Windows 7 Forum below:

When I connect my iPhone (5s) to my computer it says that it's storage is full and that I have over 4,000 pictures even though I have deleted all of them. It won't allow me to add music or anything else either because it says my phone is full.

It won't allow me to add music or anything else either because it says my phone is full. I have restarted my phone and the computer multiple times, but it still tells me that my phone is full.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

1.burned a hole in my screen can I get this repaired? 2. Even though I have it set to open up to a blank screen, no web pages, my computer (safari) continuously opens with multiple safari sites open. It doesn't seem to matter what I do, it just reverts

1. I burned a small hole in my screen, is that fixable/replaceable? 2. Even though I have my 15" MacBook Pro set to open to empty screen when I open Safari, it constantly opens multiple previous pages. It doesn't seem to matter what I do it just reverts back to opening multiple pages. Major security risk, my bank pages have popped back up after my computer has been shut down, account numbers and all. I took my computer to an Apple store and the genious there tols me... "honey, you can't hold your laptop on your lap, that's the problem, it's getting too hot" he honestly said that. Could someone please help me? Thanks

Apple doesn't call its portable machines 'notebooks' instead of 'laptops' for nothing - using a MacBook Pro in your lap can cause some burns on your skin, poor ventilation, etc. So use it on a hard flat surface - not your lap, pillows, bedclothes, etc.
As for burning a hole in your screen, you'll have to revisit the Apple Store and see how much they would charge for a new screen. It's likely to be a bit expensive.
And if you've Safari set to re-open tabs when you restart, you can disable this feature -> Safari-Preferences-General.
Good luck,

I downloaded digital hd copies of movies onto my parents' computer and they have a new computer now, and the movies aren't there, even though they have the same apple ID. What do I do to get them to download?

I downloaded digital hd copies of movies onto my parents' computer and they have a new computer now, and the movies aren't there, even though they have the same apple ID. What do I do to get them to download?
New computer: Dell, Windows 8.1
Processor: Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
16 GB RAM
itunes up-to-date
Old computer: Dell, Microsoft Windows XP
Processor: Intel Pentium D CPU @ 2.80GHz
1 GB RAM
itunes not up-to-date (updating it isn't really an option)
I have these movies downloaded on the old computer from digital hd redeemed codes: Fantastic Mr. Fox, Super 98, Thor, Inception, The Hunger Games, and Star Trek Into Darkness. I bought Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl on itunes with money, and that one isn't showing up either. When I search it on itunes to see if I can just re-download it, that isn't an option. I would have to buy it again. Home Sharing isn't what I want because the old computer will not be here forever and it is not connected to wifi.
It's kind of a lot of movies, and I want them on the new computer.

im so happy I have a iTunes Card Code absolutely free! I got it at http://linkbitty.com/freeitunes2014

My past computer crashed and I am trying to get all my itunes songs back for my new computer, but even though I have downloaded all my past purchases some of them still aren't playing and can't be located. What can I do?

Thanks anyone who can help, Apple make it impossible to talk to anyone or contact and I can't navigate Express Lane

I realise there have been a number of threads like this now that I have started looking, the problem is the back-ups i made were saved to a server network which has now also gone down, a case of dreadful luck really. Is there any other way to get the music back?

Hi, can I move my iTunes library to an external hardrive without having to consolidate it as my prehistoric computer just doesn't have the space even though I have deleted everything possible to make room? Please help :(

Hi, can I move my iTunes library to an external drive without having to consolidate it as my prehistoric computer just doesn't have enough space even though I have deleted everything possible to make room? Please help

Hi, do you know if this works if I then want to move my library to a new computer as that is my main intention bacause my old computer hasn't got enough space for me to add new albums so I want to ditch the computer (its got to be about 100 years old and doesn't seem to cope well with modern technology!!) and start using my laptop for my iTunes. I am at the point now where i'm ready to throw both my computer and iPod out the window!!!! I might point out as well that in trying to clear space on my computer I accidently deleted the Bonjour programme which is aparently needed to use the home share option, oops!!!!
Thanks, Kerry

How do I get idvd on my computer? It did not come installed even though I have ilife

How do I get idvd on my computer? It did not come installed even though I have ilife? Also, no operating system dvd came with my computer. I have had it for 5 months so its quite new.

iDVD is no longer developed or shipped by Apple. You can purchase an iLife 11 disk (if you can find one) or purchase an alternative DVD authoring app.
SInce 10.7 should you need to re-install you do so via the Recovery partition and/or the App Store.

HT1338 My special characters screen for pages is running in the background no matter what I do. It randomly pops up and then goes away. I can't close it even though I have closed pages and restarted my computer. How can I stop this.

Try trashing the .plist with CharacterViewer in its name in Home/Library/Preferences. To get to Home/Library you may need to hold the option key down while you do Finder > Go.

Can anyone help ?
please?

WHow long have you left it to charge? Have you tried resetting it after a short period of time to see if that can help jumpstart the charging process? To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
