CS6 CS5  "operation can not complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available"

Hi,
I told the client (rather foolishly it seems) that I could open a DXF in Illustrator CS6.  I get the message shown even though I have 8g of ram
any ideas??
It refuses to open in cs5 as well
file is 4.2mb
thanks

CS5

A .dxf of 4.2Mb seems large, must be something else in there than a die line. Did they send you a .pdf with this so you know what this looks like. Also if they did not put dimensions on there that can be a hassle as often you have to try every unit you figure out what units the operator was wiring in.
If you can post the file (hightail has a free trial), I have 32gb and can try this for you.

  • The operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available

    Illustrator CS5 Verison 15.1 on a MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013 Processor  2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3,
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB. Illustrator opens .ai and .pdf files. When I try to open a .dwg file, I get the following message, “The operation cannot complete because there isn’t enough memory (RAM) available”. I have been using the program for some time to successfully open .dwg files. This is a recent occurrence and I have not made any changes to the hard drive other than installing OS 10.9

    Have you already opened that specific file at some former time?
    Have you already tried a restart?
    Apart from that:
    Illustrator CS5 cannot use more than 3 GB of RAM, no matter how much is installed. OS 10.9 causes all kinds of problem even with newer versions of Illustrator.

  • Ai - The operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available.

    Hi I got this message "The operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available." when I was trying to scale the image or transform it to 3D. I just signed up for Adobe Creative Cloud a few days ago. Please help. Thank you.

  • The operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available? Anyone had this issue?

    I was working on a file, closed it briefly, then reopened it but didn't open and continued to get the message that I don't have enough memory.
    The file is not huge at all. 41.3 MB
    Anyone had this issue before? Need help soon. Need to send this file to the printer.

    OK. I figured it out. I just opened the file on Illustrator CS5 instead of CSS. It opened fine, but still didn't resolved the issue why CSS couldn't open that file, but CS5 can.
    If anyone has an answer for that, I would really appreciate it.
    Would prefer to send files to the latest software versus using an older program.
    Thanks!

  • CS5 - The operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available

    Hi,
    I keep getting the above message whenever I try to perform any 3D functions in Illustrator. I have Adobe Premium CS5 V5 and am using Windows 7 Proffesional on 2 machines:
    desktop pc:
    Core i5 3.33Ghz/4Gb Ram with an independant graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4550 (512mb Ram)
    and a laptop:
    Core i5 2.4Ghz/6Gb Ram with Geforce 310M graphics.
    Both are brand new setups and I am local administrator for both machines.
    The Pagefile has now been set to 3x Ram size (was originally managed by Windows) to see if it resolved the problem but it has not.
    Can anyone help with this? we have invested a lot of money both in equipment and software (i.e. 2xAdobe Premiums!) to avoid issues like this.
    Many Thanks

    Hi Wade,
    Many thanks again for your continued (and quick) responses.
    It seems a bit harsh (of Adobe) that we need to put in extra hardware just to keep the program alive. Particularly when both machines far exceed the requirements stipulated by Adobe's site:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator/systemreqs/
    If I was trying to speed things up or edit something really big, then I could understand the need. But I really am not trying to do anything that demanding.
    Just to add, I have noted that I have not set the program to run as administrator, and have remedied this (something in Windows Vista and 7 that allows a user to be administrator but elevating the level of programs is separate. I will monitor to see if this makes any difference also.
    Please don't read this as not appreciating the suggestion. We are really getting to stages where we will try anything (i.e. an extra drive will be put into the desktop if, my latest settings change does not work and I can get it authorised).
    I'll keep you posted.

  • HT201210 Trying to restore a new iphone 4 to files from an iphone 3, however, the restore says it can't complete because there isn't enough space.  I would like to delete photos and music files.  How can I delete these photos?

    After doing the initial restore function, I'm trying to delete phots from the system.  The itures instructions says to click the photos button the unselect photos or albums, but see no photos button.  How can I delete the photos to gain some storage space?

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

  • The i tune music library cannot be saved because there isn't enough memory available. (but there is more than enough)

    Hi
    I'm re creating my library and a window keep appearing saying that " my music library cannot be saved because there isn't enough memory available". There more than enough memory for what I 'm doing and I don't know what to do.
    Please some help
    thank you !!

    For resolving your issue, you are able to do as the followings :
     1.Close  any SkyDrive related process
     2.Open  a command prompt (not PowerShell), and change to the directory where Microsoft Office 2013 is installed by typing the command below:
     cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\
     3.Then type “groove.exe /clean /all” to clear all SkyDrive Pro cache and settings, setting it back to default again
    Here is a similar post for your reference:

    If the issue still exists after doing the above steps, actually we have a dedicated support team regarding this kind of issue. I recommend you post a new thread in another forum where is staffed by many experts focusing on the Microsoft SkyDrive Pro client
    issue.

  • I have an ipod touch 5th generation, bought a new laptop and authorised it. when i try to sync it says it's not possible because there isn't enough space to hold everything in the itunes library.it won't give me the option of choosing what i want to sync.

    I have an ipod touch 5th generation 64g . Just bought a new laptop and authorised it to use itunes library. When i try and sync my ipod it says it can't do it because there isn't enough space on my ipod to hold everything in the itunes library. I already know that i can't fit everything on my ipod but when using my old laptop i was able to choose what i wanted to sync. Now i don't seem to have the option of choosing what i can sync, it just refuses to do it as there isn't enough space. Why is this???

  • Adobe illustrator CS5.1 message: operation cannot complete because there isn't enough RAM available?

    These are the issues I am currently experiencing using Adobe Illustrator CS5.1 using my Mac OS X.
    - I am having trouble opening two files at the same time and Illustrator continually crashes because of this.
    - When I try to scale my artwork to a smaller size and add more filters the program also crashes.
    - When I try to add more gallery filters to my filled shapes the entire file at one point loses all colour and only a black and white outline  of my artwork is seen.
    The error message saying "not enough RAM" appears after all these crashes.
    I had all these issues with 4GB RAM. I have just upgraded my RAM to 8GB and I am still experiencing the same problems.
    Why is this issue with RAM still happening?

    These crashes only seem to happen to a particular number of files (with a lot of effects and filters).
    I think the large number of filter effects are the culprit for these crashes but I need to use these effects to create intricate garment details for my designs (I'm a fashion design student). I'm trying to get an image from three seperate files into one new page but I can't open all three files simultaneously nor scale them down due to these crashes.
    I might give CS6 a go!
    Thank you for the advice!

  • My app says it can't install because there isn't enough space, but there is

    I am trying to install knights of the old republic, the app says it needs less than 2gb and I have 4.5gb available.  When I go to install the app it stops and says there is not enough space and send me to settings to free up space.  How can I get this app installed?

    By Freeing up some more space.
    Most Apps require 2 to 3 times the advertised size to download and install.

  • New problem again, This operation could not completed as there's no video

    I don' t understand what is the problem, I work with FCP 6.0 and Quicktime 7.4.1 very well until today, when I tray to capture from DV devices ( note that the capture window says PREVIEW DISABLED , but I can remote the camera, mark tc in , out FFW REW etc, message VTR IS OK) The capture is aborted with this message THIS OPERATION COULD NOT COMPLETED AS THERE IS NO VIDEO, when I tray to capture from JVC PRO HD there is no problem. ANY IDEAS????? I'm not work whit another FCP version because with other version there is a problem with JVC PRO HD DEVICES . I note that I'm not the only one with this problem, another curiosity is that at this mooring I capture a tape without a problem but with the second tape start the problem when I thread the tape. Who is possible that the problems are like a miscellanies problem. In the system profile the Camera and vcr dv appears connected to the mac. The fire wire is ok.
    <Edited by Moderator>

    Hi of course I use the correct easy setup,Ii tray with different cameras, vcr's, vtr's, dv , Dvcam, I tray with different fire wire etc. Note that "IMOVIE" capture material without problem, same tape, this problem is affected to other people, included me , but for week i no have this problem with FCP 6.0 and Quicktime 7.4.1 this problem starting to day in the middle of the batch capture, the first tape was captured , but in the second tape start the message, WAITING FOR TIME CODE, THE DEVICE MUST SET IN VTR MODE, of course that this two things are ok, and appears then message "This operation could not completed as there's no video" Note that quicktime pro is unable to capture material from DV device too. Imovie work OK with the same camera and vtr and the same tape. The problem is quicktime and FCP.
