CS5 Mac - memory error "double free"

I ported out InDesign Plugin from CS4 to CS5 and now I have an error "malloc: *** error for object .....: double free" in the mac version.
I started porting to CS5 with the Windows version, I made a new project file with dollyxs and added all source code files and libraries. I had to make a few changes in the code, but I had a working version for Windows very fast.
After that I copied the source files to the Mac, created a new project for Xcode and added the source files. I can compile and link, but after starting I have this 'double free' error.
I downloaded debug version of InDesign CS5 and now I have a debugger window with a thread list (many function names I don't know). And no idea how to continue.
I have a screenshot of the debugger window here:
The error message is visible in the debugger console. Any ideas what I can do to find the object that causes the error?
Thanks

"helpful" or "solved" points if it worked.
I almost hate saying it, cause I really don't care if I get points for solving someone's problem, but I have realized the other benefit of giving these points. As I am searching for other problems with my system it is difficult to follow any advice from previous posts unless I can determine if the problem was solved within the duration of the thread.
It's nice for others to be able to know if the problem was solved as well...
Thanks.

Flash CS5.5 Memory Errors

Running Flash CS5.5 on the following system:
Win7, 64-bit
Core i7
12 GB
I am experiencing numerous soft crashes and occasional hard crashes associated with claim of "insufficient memory"..."out of memory" etc.
Same exact file in my old version of CS3 on the same system has no such problems.
I've been a Flash developer since 2002, but it's getting hard to defend the validity of Flash as a development environment with this type of performance.
Please advise on what I can do about this...

Sukhbir,
Thanks for taking the time to address this...
Yes, it is happening to several of my larger files under development.
Particularly any file with many library items (for example, a .png series mimicking an animation).
See attached example...try opening any of the larger MC's ...eg. mc_animNutrients ...and clicking on the higher frames of the series.
We can conduct a GoToMeeting session and I can show you on my machine...just let me know, I have an account.
At the time of crash, system resources are at 30% utilization ( I have 12 GB RAM) ...so that should not be an issue...
I don't think this is the issue, but just in case, is there a way to allocate more memory to Flash like in Photoshop CS5.1?

AE CS5 MAC Memory problem

Hey,
I´m using Abobe Master Collection with my Macbook pro (mid09) and 8 GB RAM.
I have a strange behavior with my ram when using After effects and actually Premiere too. When I start a render first everything goes smoothly. Then suddenly RAM usage jumps to max almost (8 GB) even if I have set it to leave 1,5 GB to other applications. My computer almost freezes cause there is only 20-100 MB left of ram...
The second and even stranger behavior is that after I have quit the programs, RAM usage stays very high. It stays up to 4-5GB even if I close all programs. And I mean now the ACTIVE RAM, not the INACTIVE... I look at the processes window in the activity monitor and there is nothing that explains the high RAM usage. First on the memory usage list is Kernel_task with about 120 mb of usage. So there is nothing that will explain the 4-5 GB usage. Only way to "reset" the memory back to normal is to reboot the computer... I have tried this many times and result is the same... Only solution is to reboot computer...
And as a reference. I reboot my computer about 1 h ago and havent used any Adobe programs after that and now my memory usage is 656 mb even when many other programs running (firefox, skype etc.)
Is this a bug in Adobes programs or is it a broken memory in my computer or something else? Cause it really seems that there is some process that is locking the memory and that process can´t be seen on the activity monitors processes window... I updated new memorys about a month ago and have had few kernel panics right after update as well, so thats why I´m thinking this might also be a bad memory issue even if it sounds like a software issue.
Any ideas,
Thanks,

Indesign cs5.5 out of memory error

Hi,
I am having constant problems with out of memory errors in indesign cs5.5 (version 7.5.3). I am on a mac. Everything is up to date, I have preflight off, my display performance is on typical view and have tried restarted my computer multiple times. I do not have any other programs open and the document I have open is 3 pages (8.5x11) with little content and a couple links to small images. I do not know what to do! This is affecting my job and my performance!! Please help!!! Thank you!

close the application
Rename the preferences from the following location
/Users/[User Name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version #
/Users/[User Name]/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/Version [#]
then open a new document and then open the document you are facing an issue with it should clear the memory issue temporally
Alternate :
copy and paste the content in a new document and check if the 1st option does not work
PS : changing the folder name would reset the preferences
refer to KB : InDesign preferences and support file locations

Office for mac - Word error message "insufficient memory"??

I'm not sure if I'm in the right help section, so apologies of not and point me in the right direction?
My problem: I copied about 2 pages of text in a Microsoft Word (for mac) document, opened a blank document, and attempted to paste the text there. The text transferred, but when I attempted to save the document Microsoft closed, without saving, and offered to send an error report.
Alternately, I copied the text, closed Word, re-opened it to a blank document, and again attempted pasting the text. This time, an error message pops up that says "Insufficient memory. Save document now." after which it will let me save the document, but won't let me paste anything. So confused.
Thanks for any help!
(I also emptied my trash, just to free up some space and see if that helped, but even though its been ages since I've done it it didn't seem to make a difference.)

How exactly do you specifically update Office? I ran software update, but nothing for Office came up.
Choose "Check for updates" in the an Office program's Help menu.
Just to check if it worked, I opened the original document and selected Save As, and it allowed me to save it under a different name and re-open the doc, and then edit and save it - so I can go ahead with my work, but it would still be good to resolve the issue.
Hopefully just updating will take care of it. Just remember than an "insufficient memory" error never means insufficient memory. It means the program is buggy. While very powerful, Office is somewhat on the buggy side. It is updated pretty frequently however.
If you continue to have problems, there may be some specific issue that is causing your problem and can be fixed. The best place to investigate that would probably be Microsoft's own support forums.

New Mac Pro - Errors detected on memory module

My system:
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
3,5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
16 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC
AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB
250G SSD Internal
OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
Problem:
During the hard editing in Final Cut or work in Motion I feel like my mac starts to slow down.
Especially during sharing video to h264 format. Mac starts very slowly rendering.
After the first failure in the system, I found this errors:
first error occurs in one module, then after 15-20 min. in all modules
Is this a hardware problem?
If not a hardware problem, is there some well understood fix for this?
Sorry for my English.
Thank you!

You may see that the Error detection-and-correction Hardware has found (and corrected) errors in some of your modules, as seen in this report:
graphic courtesy anandtech.com
Modules that are giving errors are Bad. This is a Hardware Problem, but check to be sure the fan is running. If it gets a little bit worse, a Double-bit (uncorrectable) Error will occur, and you Mac Pro will halt on a kernel panic, machine check, uncorrected error or error overflow, detected by multiple processors at once. This is by design, to keep memory errors from poisoning your data.

Photoshop CS6 has out of memory errors under Mac OS X 10.7.4

Has anyone who has a 2008 MacBoo Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 512 MB graphics card tried running Photoshop CS6 under Mac OS X 10.7.4?
On my MacBook Pro, PS CS6 launches; however, any action results in an out of memory error. The CS6 versions of After Effects, Premiere Pro and Illustrator all launch and run as expected under 10.7.4.
If I switch to my Mac OS X 10.6.8 startup volume, Photoshop CS6 runs as expected.
I have support cases open with Adobe, NVidia and Apple. Adobe thinks I need to update the display drivers. NVidia says display drivers must be provided by Apple. Apple says that the display drivers are current. The Apple support agent said that he can escalate the case if the issue can be reproduced on more than one computer.
I'd love to keep my MacBook Pro running another year or so without having to reboot in 10.6.8 every time I need to use Photoshop. I'd stay with 10.6.8, but of course iCloud requires 10.7.4.
I have not tried 10.8 yet, but it's on my troubleshooting list.
Also, PS CS6 runs fine under Mac OS X 10.7.4 on my 2010 iMac.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

It looks like it was indeed the display driver for the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB graphics card inside my 2008 MacBook Pro.
It seems that this driver only gets installed if you upgrade from Mac OS X 10.6.7 to 10.7.4 while the startup drive is connected to the MacBook Pro itself. I had updated while the startup drive was connected to my 2010 iMac. Accordingly, I could have reinstalled Photoshop 100 times without it ever launching as expected. Having used the external startup drive with three other Apple computers (all 2010 or newer machines) with Photoshop CS6 launching as expected, I had just assumed (mistakenly) that it would work as expected with my 2008 computer.
So, this was simple enough to resolve by upgrading the OS on the external startup drive while having it connected to the MacBook Pro. In hindsight, this makes perfect sense.

Memory errors on 2011 mac pro

I am getting a lot of "memory" errors lately. I thought it was mostly limited to my 2004 Microsoft office suite – mostly Entourage – (yeah, I know, but my company hates to spend money on anything let alone upgrades to the current decade) running on my brand new Mac Pro with a ton of memory.
Today, though, I got a "not enough memory/cannot save" error in my newly upgraded FlexiPro 8.5 software. This error message is new.
Add it to the Entourage and Powerpoint problems, the fact that Adobe CS2 has its own issues, and it becomes an incredibly frustrating way to work.
Yesterday, I ran Disk Utility and it told me to startup from the installation disk and then repair. I repaired my hard drive with Disk Utility, started up from the system installation disk. It claimed to have repaired the problem it was having then. But... I am not getting any relief from the seemingly random error messages today.

Well, 3GB of memory is almost enough to boot and run a program, but other than that, anemia and starvation.

As for errors, you are talking about parity or other errors, System Profile: Memory, then run AHT and Rember.
Depending on what you do and run, even 6-8GB RAM should be absolutely minimum, with 16-32GB, and for CS 5.x 24GB.
Older applications one problem is they have to emulate PowerPC code via Rosetta which eats up 2GB or more of overhead. Throw in Safari which is a memory hog and some others.
Take a look at /var/vm and the pageouts and swap files from Activity Monitor, though having zero pageouts or low is not a pure indication of having 'enough' for performance.

Indesign cs5 'out of memory' error when using preflight

I have been regulary getting an 'out of memory' error when i choose to use my bespoke preflight profile.
I have 4gig of ram and run Indesign CS5 on OS 10.6.8.
Does anyone know a work around?
As soon as I select from the basic default profile, i get the beach ball from hell for 10mins, then it kindly lets me know that I am out of memory, sends a crash report to Adobe and then asks if I want to relauch. I'm stuck in a vicious circle. I must of sent my 4th crash report now and no feedback from anyone at Adobe.

I have replaced my preferences, but still the problem persists. I have tried switching my view from typical display to fast display before i selected a profile. I thought this may give me the extra memory I needed to avoid the enevitable crash. I learnt that 2 files were indeed rgb instead of cmyk before it crashed again. So I switched them to cmyk and tried again, selected my bespoke profile, but yet again it crashed. I think the problem lies with the file, not Indesign, as i have tried the same profile on a different file and the program doesn't crash and runs as it should. So if in future I need to use said crashing file again, firstly i will need to try Peter's isolate fix method. Otherwise i'll never be able to progress to successful a pdf.

Premiere Pro CS5 Mac 10.6.5 not releasing memory

I have a Mac Pro running 10.6.5 Mac OS, 16GB Ram that I just installed today (had 8GB). I opened up a rather large 11 minute PPro project. I rendered it out. Noticed that the Used Memory was getting larger, up to about 10GB where it leveled off for the remainder of the render. After the render was done, the used memory stayed at 10GB. I exited PPro, and it stayed 10GB. Seems like it's not releasing the memory back to available or am I not understanding how either the Mac OS works with regards to memory or perhaps PPro?

Yes, that appears to be the problem. I disconnected my secondary monitor (which does have a different vertical resolution) and the eyedropper appears to function properly.
Okay, so now I know the cause of the issue. However, disconnecting and reconnecting monitors is not an acceptable workflow. Apparently this problem affects quite a few Premiere Pro CS5 Mac users with dual monitors since you referred to it as a know issue with all versions of Mac OS. Do you know if there is an update (not an upgrade) for Premiere Pro CS5 to address this?
Thanks.

Power Mac G4 MDD problems with Hardware test Memory errors

I have been troubleshooting slowness and unexplained lockups on my Power Mac G4 MDD. I've had the system since 2002. I tried to run hardware test (the disk that came with my system), and I get an error message at startup:
Invalid Memory Access at %SRRO: 00034870
%SRR1: 00003030
I run mac-boot, and get another memory error
Invalid Memory Access at:
%SRRO: 056106dc
%SRR1: 00003030
Does this mean my memory has gone bad? I don't get any other screens for testing hardware.
The lockups are varied, but many seem to deal with Safari. I have also repaired disk permissions and repaired disk. I then get security error messages when I restart, and I choose to fix them, and things are fine for a while, but then it slows down some and starts locking up again.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Marbot61

Hi Marbot61,
You might be interested in the thread "error when booting from AHT CD" on this forum. Since four different users have had the same error message in two days, perhaps ram chips are actually ok, and there is something else going on with the AHT CD boot process.

Ssh to Mac: periodic "out of memory" errors abort connection at login

I have a frequent, but not constant problem...
when I ssh to my Mac at home, from Linux boxes from work, and/or from my PC laptop (using putty), I often have to attempt to connect several times. The failing attempts ask for my password and seem to complete the login process.
But at the 1st command I enter at the shell prompt, I see the message
tcsh: out of memory
very briefly, and then the window closes itself, and poof no more ssh connection...
This seems to go in spurts, then one of the windows will be fine.
For a while, it seemed that doing a quick ls as my first command worked around the problem, but I'm finding that not to be the case while on this trip (with my laptop and putty).
I've done a pretty wide search and am coming up with very little on this.
Any ideas?
Again, sometimes it works, and ssh operates as expected. other time I can get several OOM errors in a row, before finally getting a working session. This is a not a new problem, has happened for at least a year, but seems to be worse lately.
Thanks,
Mike
Mini Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thanks, I'll give this a shot when I back in town this weekend...
in the meantime, I've played around some more.. commented out most of my .login/.cshrc etc, to see if there were any culprits..
over the ssh connection, if I try to change shells I can see the out of memory error sometimes, there, and the shell launch fails kicking back into the parent shell. When there is no "parent" shell, (original ssh login), the failure has no where to fall back to and the session terminates.
I do not recall ever seeing this from Terminal (at my mac itself).
So I guess that begs the question.. what is different about getting to a shell prompt from a remote ssh session vs. being there in person with Terminal?
