Disk Alert - Start Up memory full

First let me say I just love my PowerBook but realize it has limitations and so try not to overtax it. In the past though I could have several apps running at a time, like Safari, AOL, Excel, Word, Keynote, without problems. For the past two weeks though if I have open more than 2-3 apps, it will suddenly get super slow with a spinning rainbow and I get a Disk Alert message that says the Startup Disk memory is too full and requires a Force Quit or Relaunch of the Finder or a complete shutdown. The hard drive currently says it has 12GB available. How do I troubleshoot this?

BabyDocMom:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
When I started reading you post I was thinking that your Hard Disk Drive may be too full. However, with 12 GB of available capacity, that should not be a problem unless you have a HDD larger than 120 GB total.
So let us begin with some simple procedures and see if they help:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
6. Release the keys after third chime and immediately hold down "Shift" key. This will make the computer start up in Safe Mode.
Log into your account
Empty Trash.
Restart normally and log in.
You have probably done this procedure before, but it sounds like a good time to do it again:
Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Post back with an update and with further questions or comments.
Good luck.

  • Memory full.Not enough memory for operation.

    To the Report Design Team,
    It has been suggested that I post this issue here based on another thread I started: Re: Memory full.Not enough memory for operation.
    The template contains a single 24 bit PNG image as a background in the Page Header section, plus 9 image records from a SQL Server image field over 3 pages (3 images per page).  The images are all JPG at 3000x2000 (digital camera).
    To summarize, we are experiencing three problems.
    1. CR2008SP2 Designer issues a Memory Full error when Exporting to PDF.
    2. Using a 3rd party PDF Printer (Bullzip PDF) and CR2008SP2 Designer generates a PDF, however, the CR2008SP2 API throws a "Memory full" exception suggesting Designer and API are different (see stack trace in linked message above).
    3. With only 3 images on 1 page, CR2008 Designer Export to PDF takes 110 seconds to generate a 24MB PDF while our third party PDF Printer generates the same report in 17 seconds and 580KB.
    Edited by: Don Williams on Sep 30, 2009 6:43 AM

    The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save.  Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
    The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
    When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full".  If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error.  However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
    The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything).  The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
    We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
    We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem.  Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
    Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2.  The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size.  However, the API reports memory full.
    The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing.  When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
    Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have?  Are there known problems with large images in reports?  Do we need to lodge a formal support request?
    Regards,  Grant.

  • 9300i Memory Full - Delete some files - Memory Ful...

    I had trouble with my 9300i, it started saying "Memory Full" and told me to delete some files. The problem was, I tried to delete files, but the phone couldn't do it, because the memory was full... I couldn't do anything.
    The Control panel's "Memory" said I had 500 Kb of messages, 500 Kb of calendar, and 79 megabytes of "Other file types".
    The File manager did not show me anything other than "My own files" and the folders were empty.
    I couldn't find any help from Nokia sites. A friend adviced me to make a Full backup on a MMC card, transfer it to PC and delete a certain file: Mail/index. That's what I did, then I resetted the phone to factory settings and transferred the Full backup back to phone.
    This helped and my phone was once again operational. However, all my messages were gone, and I had to save the email settings from scratch, so beware, if you need to do the same.
    So how can the memory fill 100% if I use the "Delete sent messages after X days" and keep deleting the new ones?! What is this "index", and why is there no clever way to make it smaller...

    For next time, look in your E-Mail inbox and Sent items; mine was full of picture attachments - cleared down a few MB just in there.

  • New memory card installed but getting 'Start up disc full' message?

    Running on an old Power Mac G4, 256 MB, I have recently got a new ipod and began filling my itunes when I get a 'start up disc full' message. I've successfully installed another identical 256 MB memory card which the computer is recognizing (now showing 512 MBs of memory) but after downloading another 1 or 2 CDs I'm back to 'start up disc full'. I know I have the correct memory card for my G4 but it isn't allowing me more memory. Any suggestions? Do I have to change something that isn't in my owners manual?

    Hi-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    You need more hard drive space. Although replacing the internal with another, larger drive is an option, it is easy to just add another drive. The G4, any model, can use up to 4 internal drives.
    Some have size limits, so you need to tell us your G4 model. Use the "About this Mac" in the Apple menu on your desktop, and the following to ID your model:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58418
    Another option is to buy an external firewire hard drive, so you can backup, and store files on it, freeing up space on your strtup drive. You really should have an external, anyways, so you have a backup, and don't lose any data if there is a problem.
    Adding a hard drive is relatively easy. You can find Do It Yourself guides in the following:

  • Nokia C5-03 SIM memory full... but NO SIM MESSAGES...

    Hello everyone. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, I'm new here.
    Recently my C5-03 has a flashing envelope on the screen saying the SIM memory is full.
    I searched on Google and found some topics saying to go to Messages -> SIM messages and delete them...
    But problem is... no SIM messages appear! I'm desperate and can't find any other solution... what can I do?!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Hardstylehunt3r,
    Thank you for your post and welcome to the Nokia discussion forums.
    Sorry to hear about your issue but there certain steps you can try to resolve this issue.
    Memory full messages may occur if there are too many applications running at the same time or if there is not enough free space in the phone memory. Depending on the error message, the following actions can be taken:
    "Memory Full: Close some applications and try again"
    In this case there are too many applications active at the same time. The problem can be fixed by closing some of the applications:
    Long press the Menu key to see the list of active applications.
    Select the applications which are not needed and close them.
    If this doesn't help, switch off and restart the phone.
    "Memory Full: Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory"
    The phone notifies you if the phone memory or memory card memory is getting low. There can be different error messages shown this situation, e.g.:
    "Memory Full: Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory"
    "Disk Full : Automatic retrieval of mailbox for exchange disabled"
    To free phone memory, transfer some data to the memory card with the File mgr application (select Menu > Applications > File mgr.). Select or mark files to be moved, select Options >Organise > Move to folder and then the destination folder.
    In order to free memory, you could also remove or move the following:
    Messages from Inbox, Drafts and Sent folders in Messaging.
    Retrieved e-mail messages from the phone memory.
    Saved Web pages. Clear the web browser cache to free some memory (select Options > Clear privacy data > Cache). 
    Saved images, videos, or sound files.
    Contact information.
    Calendar notes.
    Downloaded application packages.
    If there are applications which are not needed any more, uninstall them (select Menu > Settings > Data mgr. > App.mgr. > Installed apps.).
    Any other data that you no longer need
    If possible, use the memory card instead of phone memory in the Camera application (selectOptions > Settings > Memory in use to define the memory where the images are stored). You can also use Nokia Suite to transfer images and video clips to your PC. 
    If you are deleting multiple items and any of the following notes are shown: Not enough memory to perform operation. Delete some data first or Memory low. Delete some data, try deleting items one by one (starting from the smallest item).
    Or you can try this:
    To release the phone memory and change the email store from the phone memory to the memory card, follow the steps below.
    Select Menu > Messaging and Options > Settings > Other.
    Select  Memory in use> Memory card.
    To question Copy all messages to the new message memory?, select Yes.
    To question Save original messages?, select No if you want to release the phone memory or select Yes if you wish to keep the original messages in the phone memory.
    Alternatively you can sync your phone with Nokia suite and clear the messages that way if it is not showing on your device. Full instructions on how to sync can be found on the follwing link:
    http://support.ovi.com/osc/en_GB/service/ovi_on_your_computer/howto/support-suite-syncing-and-backin..., 
    If this doesnt help you can try doing a soft reset by inputting code *#7780#. This wont delete any data but rather reset your phone settings. If the device ask for a default code this is usually 12345.
    There's a lot to try to resolve here so give it a go and let me know if any helps.

  • Nokia C5-03 Error: Memory full. Close some applica...

    Hi,
    I purchased this phone mainly to use for Navigation and phone, but disappointed by the error shows up every time when you are in need while using Map.
    I do not have any extra applications running other than it came with. I have closed all the running application which running map. Phone software and Map is upto date with version (V22.0.007 and 2.45 on map) Earlier versions also same problem. Currently the available memory shows 27.2 MB)
    I tried all the solutions given in /t5/Hardware-Codes-and-Operator/Nokia-C5-03-SIM-me​mory-full-but-NO-SIM-MESSAGES/m-p/1260683#M25236, but no use. Same error.
    Is there any way out other than choosing another phone and brand?
    Regards
    Simon
    Moderator's notes: Post moved into it's own thread. 

    I am completely frustrated with this phone (Nokia C5-03). I originally wanted a smartphone but didn't want to buy the brand leader like everyone else so I thought I could rely on a Nokia.  I have had this phone for less than 12 months now and I have already done a full reset TWICE and have lost all of my information.  On both occasions when the memory problems starting occurring with the phone I tried to back up my info to my PC but the phone told me that I had "not enough memory to perform operation"!!!! I am now getting memory full messages every 10 minutes and the phone will do nothing for me. 
    There is nothing left on the phone to delete.  I had my email synched to the phone originally for about two weeks but had to get rid of it as it was slowing the phone down.  I never connect to the internet with the phone - I mean NEVER. In browsing the web for solutions I am constantly finding varied and interesting comments about clearing the cache via the web app (I cannot connect to the web on the phone now - NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO PERFORM OPERATION) and connecting my phone to a PC and browsing the memory to find out what the "other files" are (NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO PERFORM OPERATION) or even downloading software onto the computer, running this in the background as I connect phone to PC in order to clear the memory (NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO PERFORM OPERATION). 
    I reiterate that I use the phone for nothing other than SMS and calls.  I had images on the phone but they are long gone. I have done two full resets to factory default settings and I'm facing another one and I am beyond frustrated. Please dont tell me to connect to my PC (see above) dont tell me to connect to web via phone (see above).  My phone memory is showing 22MB SIS applications (which I understand I cannot get rid off) and 46MB other files (WHY????) I reiterate that I do not (and now cannot) browse the web on the phone, I don't use e-mail on the phone, all I do is sms and calls.   WHY WHY WHY is my phone not working?  Is there anything to be done with this phone or do I put it out of its misery? 

  • "Memory full." error while exporting report to PDF format - CR2008SP2

    <br>
    Hello,<br>
    <br>
    I am developing a C#.NET application that uses the CR2008 SP2 .NET libraries. This application performs some database updates and uses CR2008 SP2 to run 7 different reports and export the results to PDF files. This application is a console application that only uses Crystal to export the rendered reports - it does not use previews or printing.<br>
    <br>
    The specific pattern of this application is as follows:<br>
    <br>
    - perform some database updates<br>
    - render report #1 and export it as a PDF file<br>
    - perform some database updates<br>
    - render report #2 and export it as a PDF file<br>
    ... pattern repeats to report #7 ...<br>
    <br>
    This application works fine as long as I run only one instance of it at a time. The problem occurs when I try to run multiple instances of this application at the same time. When I run multiple instances of this application at the same time (against totally different databases) each instance will start up happily and begin running through the process described above. After a few moments one or more instances will fail during the report export. The specific error is as follows:<br>
    <br>
    "Memory full. Failed to export the report. Not enough memory for operation."<br>
    <br>
    The error always comes from the call to:<br>
    <br>
    CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.ExportToDisk(Format, FileName)<br>
    <br>
    I have watched the memory consumption of these instances of my application while they are running. They never seem to exceed approximately 52MB each. At this time task manager reports over 1GB of physical memory free. These numbers lead me to believe that memory is not actually "full".<br>
    <br>
    Here are some specifics about the environment:<br>
    <br>
    Dell Vostro 1720 / P8600 / 4GB<br>
    Windows 7 Ultimate x64<br>
    SQL Server 2008 SP1 x64<br>
    Crystal Reports 2008 SP2<br>
    <br>
    Specifics about the C# application:<br>
    <br>
    IDE: Visual Studio 2008 SP1<br>
    Type: Console Application<br>
    Target platform: x86<br>
    .NET Framework: 3.5 SP1<br>
    Crystal References:<br>
    - CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine (v12.0.2000.0)<br>
    - CrystalDecisions.Shared (v12.0.2000.0)<br>
    <br>
    Specifics about the report templates:<br>
    <br>
    The report templates are RPT files saved from CR2008 SP2. They are relatively simple. A few of them (maybe 3) contain a single subreport.<br>
    <br>
    Specifics about the database:<br>
    <br>
    Each database is approximately 1GB in size. The database contains many tables but the reports only access a handful of tables. Each table that the reports access have maybe a few hundred rows tops. Most have less than 100. Likewise, when the reports perform their selections the resulting rowset for the reports is anywhere from about 20 records to a few hundred records tops.<br>
    <br>
    A few items to note:<br>
    <br>
    - Multiple instances of my application need to be able to run on a single machine at the same time. It is a specific design requirement.<br>
    - My application works fine as long as I run only one instance of it at a time.<br>
    - My application works fine when I run multiple instances if I comment out the Crystal part of it.<br>
    - My application works fine when I run multiple instances if I change the export format from PDF to HTML32 or HTML40 (have not tried any others)<br>
    - The machine has over 1GB of physical memory free when this error occurs.<br>
    - I have taken steps to ensure that I am properly disposing of my CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument instance just after each export is complete. I have tried to use the "using" keyword, as well as explicitly setting the instance to null and calling the .NET framework garbage collector. This did not seem to help.<br>
    <br>
    Any assistance with this issue would be greatly appreciated.<br>

    Jonathan & Ludek,<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for the timely response and good suggestions guys!<br>
    <br>
    I have performed a few more tests today in order to help answer some of your questions.<br>
    <br>
    Below are my responses. Some of them are answers to questions and some of them are observations based on tests I have performed today.<br>
    <br>
    - The database system is SQL Server 2008 SP1 Developer Edition x64.<br>
    <br>
    - The C# application connects to the database using the native .NET SQL client (System.Data.Sql).<br>
    <br>
    - During runtime I connect the report to the database by looping through the ReportDocument.Database.Tables collection. For each Table found I create a CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo instance, fill in the table name, server name, database name, user ID, and password, and use Table.ApplyLogOnInfo() to apply it. I do the same thing for the subreports collection if there are any. Like I said, about half of the reports contain a single subreport.<br>
    <br>
    - The report templates are currently set to use the "SQLOLEDB" Provider. The Database Type is set to "OLE DB (ADO)". I am not entirely sure what you mean by trying a different database driver. I assume you mean to change the provider? If so, given the fact that we are using SQL Server 2008, what would I change it to?<br>
    <br>
    - If I do not perform the database updates during application runtime (instead, perform them ahead of time and then allow the application to only render the reports) then I still have the same problem. Nothing changes.<br>
    <br>
    - I installed the Fix Pack 2.5, rebooted, and tried again. Same problem.<br>
    <br>
    - I do not beleive that I am using XML transforms. How would I know?<br>
    <br>
    - Regarding fragmented memory: It is hard for me to believe that, given the amount of memory free on the machine once all processes are up and running (1GB+), and the size of the processes (~50MB), that a contiguous block could not be found. Maybe there is some Crystal process that is attempting to balloon out of control, but as far as I can tell my application is not getting very big. I will not rule this out of course because I don't know for sure.<br>
    <br>
    - Regarding killing the process once a report is rendered: The problem with this is that the application needs to perform these 7 groups of updates and render these 7 reports in a specific sequence all as part of one complete "pass". Also, this application needs to be able to be able to handle a scneario where one or more instance of the application is started on a single machine at roughly the same time (pointed at different databases). The application actually does work fine in this regard (staying well within the capabilities of my 4GB laptop even when 8 of them are running) except that I always get the same error when I choose PDF as my export format.<br>
    <br>
    - I ran a test today where I changed the export format to HTML40 and started 8 instances of the application at the same time, each working from a different copy of the database. The instances ran a little slow but did complete in good time with no errors. Please note that changing the export format to PDF will cause the application to fail with the "memory full" error if even only 2 instances are running at the same time. The only way I can successfully complete a run with the export format set to PDF is to run only 1 instance at a time. I can run it over and over all day long and it will not fail, as long as only 1 instance is running at a given time. As of yesterday I had only proven that the application would complete when using the HTML40 export format when 2 or 4 instances are running, but today I doubled it again (to 8) and still no failure while using HTML40. This is possibly the most interesting fact about this problem, and is another reason why I am skeptical that memory fragmentation is the culprit.<br>
    <br>
    We would like to solve this problem because we would like to continue to target the PDF format. It is the standard report export format for our applications. If we cannot solve this problem we may call a meeting and decide whether to proceed with the HTML40 export format, or possibly dump Crystal from this project altogether.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks again for your interest in our problem and your timely and helpful responses. I'm really not sure where to go next ... maybe change the database provider in the templates? I will need some specific advice in this area because I'm not sure what to do. Any more ideas you guys have will be greatly appreciated on this end!<br>

  • HP OFFICEJET PRO 8500 - A909 - HOW DO I CLEAR FAX MEMORY IF FAX MEMORY FULL

    HELP// WHILE I WAS RECEIVING ALARGE FAX, MY PAPER RAN OUT. DURING THE TIME IT TOOK ME TOREPLACE THE PAPER, THE MESSAGE FAX MEMORY FULL. CAN NOT RECEIVE FAX . WHAT CAN I DO ? NOW I CAN'T RECEIVE ANY NEW FAXES. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CLEAR OR PRINT FROM MEMORY. SENIOR CITIZEN BLUES NOW IN EFFECT. I'VE FALLEN & I CAN'T GET UP, MENTAL  FATIGUE

    Hello CLEONFOWLER,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to receive a fax and now a message appears stating fax memory full using the Officejet 8500 A909. I will do my best to assist you and hopefully the information I will provide is going to avoid mental fatigue.
    I am going to recommend performing a hard reset on your printer which could clear the message fax memory full. Please leave your printer turned on> Disconnect the power cord out of the printer for more than 60 seconds.
    Just to let you know, this will remove every fax in your memory. It will clear the message and you can start receiving faxes again. The fax you were trying to receive will have to be re-sent.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!
    I worked on behalf of HP.

  • Start up disc full, tried everything I can find, no changes, help?

    I posted this somewhere earlier, sorry for repeating, but I can't find it.  AFter getting the start up disc full message, I backed up everything on an external hard drive with Time Machine, and additionally, copied everything from iphoto on to the same drive, different partition. I have freed up tons of memory, but no change to the start up disc when I check it in the activity monitor area.  I have restarted it a number of times, emptied all trash, and checked the console log for messages. I see lots of "failed to count the number of files in the "/system/library/memory/startupItems": No such directory.  Other than that, nothing popped out at me. I also ran the diagnostics for the disc and repaired all permission scripts, (I think that's what it said) no help.
    I am grateful for any help, could it be a virus or an error I can't detect?
    Thanks,
    Veronica

    Would that have worked if I had tried it before the "archive and install"? Because that is what I tried next and it didn't work, and I'm just wondering if it didn't work BECAUSE I tried to do the Archive and Install first? Or if it just never would've worked because my hard drive's messed up?
    I'm just wondering because after I got the last response, I called Apple Care to see if there was ANYthing else I could do before having to either erase everything or actually haul it down to the Apple store, and it's the Apple care guy who told me to try the Archive and Restore first. So I'm just a bit annoyed if this could've been avoided by simply doing a new install first, if it's the Archive and Install that ruined everything...

  • My startup disk keeps saying it is full but I have deleted as much as I can and emptied the trash......what do I do?

    My startup disk keeps saying it is full and has done for a few moths.  I have been through and deleted as much as I can, transferred movies to an external drive and emptied the trash, but it keeps coming up as full again after a while even though I haven't loaed anything else on......what do I do? It is so short of space now that it is saying there isn't enough memory to run some applications??  HELP!!  I am new at all this stuff.

    It sounds like a runaway process is filling up your volume.
    Boot in safe mode. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
    Use a tool such as the one linked below to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space:

  • Memory full error while playing video in N8.... Pl...

    Hi All,
    I am getting memory full error while playing movie..... it plays for abt 5 minutes & then the error message pops up and the application shuts down.....
    I have checked C:, D: & E: & they have enough free space..... but i did find any solution......
    please if anyone can help....
    Thanks in advance!!

    This might happen if some memory extensive application ,like an antivirus or some other mobile management softwares are running in the background.
    You can start by checking if stopping /removing these apps correct the problem.
    Else sometimes viruses in the memory card can cause this, try removing any external memory and play something from the phone memory.

  • Aperture 3.5 repeatedly crashes as 'memory full' despite 32GB RAM

    Almost every session of editing multiple images my Aperture 3.5 session will hang irrecoverably (Force Quite dialog registers it as Paused) with a 'Memory full' error dialog - despite my iMac's 32GB of RAM and matching virtual memory (supplied by 3TB Fusion drive). This doesn't happen in any other application to my knowledge, including Lightroom 5, Photoshop CS5, etc. This used to happen with Aperture 3.4, and I believe so when on Mountain Lion.
    The possible factors that I've considered so far:
    1. The library was originally an iPhoto library, upgraded to Aperture-compatible at version 3.4 I believe. I've not worked in iPhoto long enough to test if this is exclusive to Aperture.
    2. The library is also a substantial 500 GB, storing 59,000 images - not including versions.
    3. The memory hangs when I'm adjusting images, but doesn't appear to be any particular tool.
    4. It tends to hang after about half an hour of intensive work, neccessitating a Force Quit and picking up where I left off. As you can imagine, this happens a frustrating amount during a photo editing workout...
    Would someone kindly help me out with a list of things I can do to try and assess where the problem lies? Your thoughts would be much appreciated!
    p.s. I'd really rather avoid splitting the library up into smaller pieces, as I don't believe that's a problem, with people handling much larger libraries than mine. I would happily move to a 'proper' Aperture library if I could do so without further risking the integrity of the data, though I do have a backup on my TimeMachine.

    I have the same problem. My imac has 32GB of RAM and Aperture maxes out the RAM after about 10 to 20 minutes of editing. At first I would get a warning that system memory had been used up and I would have to Force Quit. That was a few weeks ago when I first updated to Mavericks and Aperture 3.5. I am now on 3.5.1. More recently, if I forget to pay attention to the Activity Monitor and don't quit Aperture before it hits the memory limit, Aperture will hang for a moment and then my entire system shuts down. I believe it is the result of a kernel panic. Everything will start back up again with Aperture working fine (unless it requires me to do a repair) until I have to quit Aperture to avoid the shut down. I have noticed that kernel_task in the Activity Monitor usually sits around 1.4GB, but grows significantly and quickly when memory pressure grows if I push it a bit before quitting Aperture. Once I quit, the kernel_task immediately goes back to 1.4GB and memory is released after a few seconds.
    I use Aperture all the time for my work. I work quickly with adjustments and have not had problems with the computer keeping up until now.

    My iPod classic shows that memory full in other category however there is nothing on it. I have left it connected all day and over night trying to restore it but the progress bar  never goes away. Is it shot or are there other options to restore to factory settings?

    Hi pbworth,
    When troubleshooting issues with iPod classic, it may be helpful to place the iPod into Disk Mode. For information on how to do so:

  • Alerts for CPU,Memory Utilizations

    Hi all,
    In the last few weeks we have been encountering,  Server Re-starts due to  memory Shoots ups.
    We are planning to have alerts for CPU, memory utlizations.
    These would be triggered before a Standard Threshold is reached.  This would avoid issues after threshold in production environment.
    Are there any pointers, blogs etc available on how to achieve the same.
    Thanks in advance,
    Best regards
    Abhishek

    Basic alert funtionality of XI won't help. You must have CCMS configured in your landscape. It could be then used to raise alert for such issues. Have a look here

  • X6 mass memory full error

    I want to copy some MP3 files to the X6 phone mass memory through windows explorer but it give me a memory full error message.
    Before I start to copy, it indicated 8.40G free out of 15.0G (not sure why it is 15G), but once I start to copy, it pops up the error message. I disconnect the phone and use the phone file manager to check and it has about 8.4G free. Try it again, the same happened.
    While in windows explorer it indicated it is full full, under the ovi suite->view->device information, it has 8,4G free! I know I have the space because I deleted a lot of files recently.
    Firmware: V21.0.004. OS: Windows 7

    I received an email from Nokia support about the issue however unfortunately their advice was useless...
    I will copy/paste it here in-case it might be useful to anyone else.
    Thank you for contacting Nokia Care. 
    We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you. In response to your concern with your device, the phone notifies you if the phone memory is getting low. 
    To free phone memory, transfer data to a mass memory in the File mgr application. Mark files to be moved, select Move to folder (or Organise > Move to folder) and then the destination folder.
    In order to free memory, you could also remove or move the following:
    a. Messages from Inbox, Drafts and Sent folders in Messaging 
    b. Retrieved e-mail messages from the phone memory Saved Web pages. Clear the web browser cache to free some memory. 
    c. Saved images, videos, or sound files 
    d.Contact information 
    e.Calendar notes 
    f.Downloaded application packages 
    g.If there are applications which are not needed any more, uninstall them 
    h.Any other data that you no longer need 
    If possible, use the mass memory instead of phone memory in the Camera application. You can also use Image Store available in the Nokia PC Suite or Ovi Suite to transfer images and video clips for example to a compatible PC. 
    If you are deleting multiple items and any of the following notes are shown: Not enough memory to perform operation. Delete some data first or Memory low. Delete some data, try deleting items one by one (starting from the smallest item).
