Excel (There isn't enough memory to complete this action)

Hi,
Everytime multiple Excel spreadsheets are open we keep getting the error message saying:
There isn't enough memory to complete this action.
Try using less data or closing other applications.
To increase memory availability, consider:
- Using a 64-bit version of Microsoft Excel.
- Adding memory to your device
I have tried to increase the memory to 8GB and re-installed to 64-bit version but the application keeps doing the same thing. It freezes occasionally, blank screen appears.
What can i do to resolve this?

Hi George:
1. Is this occurring on multiple computers or just one? (You wrote 'We' ...") -
Just one machine
2. What is the total RAM and operating system on this computer / these computers? -
8GB Ram using Windows 7
3. After a fresh boot, do you still get this message when using Excel spreadsheets ONLY? -
Yes after a fresh boot only happens with Excel
4. Did this just happen now with spreadsheets successfully used over a period of time? -
Yes thats correct
Hi Robbery:
You may be right about the formula calculation but these are spreadsheets that have been modified over
time so we cant start from fresh. I tried to increase the virtual memory but still no joy.

Issue with turning on project 2010 / 2013 - "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."

I get the following error after the installation and configuration window of MS Project: "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."
It happens both with MS Project 2010 and 2013 on a Windows 7 desktop.
I tried installing / uninstalling Office 2010, MS Project, tried installing 32 and then 64 bit versions, clean up, disk error checker, startup changes (msconfig), anti virus, running as Windows 7 and then Windows XP compatible mode.
Nothing helps. I see this issue reported as early as 2007 version of MS projects on Microsoft forums, but I do not see any solution anywhere. Any suggestions on how to fix the issue without having to reformat hard drive? Every other application, including
all other Office programs work seamlessly.
I also tried Microsoft support, after an hour and a half of basically doing what I did before, I was told I have to pay 99$ for "premium" support, so someone can look at this bug.
I have 16 Gb RAM and more than 200Gb or hard drive free, so actual memory is not the problem.

This issue was originally reported with MS Project 2007 and keeps popping up since.
A quick Google search provides more than 200K pages of results of this issue:

Computer was defragged already. I run more tests, and specifically when MS Projects tries to run, it tries to take all memory, more than 300Gb, on the computer. (DropBox was running at the same time, and warned that there were no space. As soon as MS Project
stopped attempting to configure itself, everything came back to normal and the available space became available again.)
Looking through older forum posts, looks like this application tries to take "unlimited" amount of memory. Some registry fixes are mentioned potentially, but I was not able to apply them.
Since everything else works, this is a MS Project bug reported by multiple users on various versions of Windows, including Vista and 7, so please provide a fix and not 'not a know bug' lie. All the premium support will say, is to format the hard drive, unless
they have a patch or a registry edit solution. If the latter is true, since the issue exists for multiple years, it should have been already been provided to users.
Also, I am not running a SQL server, or any server, this is an installation on a local machine.

"There is not enough memory to complete this operation. " So what do I do ?

First try with new imac to replace the dead G4. G4 HD connected as an external HD so the files are available.
Have found appleworks and want to change a data base entry and it won't let me, I get the 'not enough memory ' message. I know that extra memory can be allocated to applications but have forgotten 'how to'. What do I do please .
Thanks

OS X allocate memory dynamically, so unless you have a lot of other applications also running, the message shouldn't show up there.
In Mac OS 9.x.x and earlier, you must specify how much memory to allocate to an application. This is done in the application's Get Info window, with the application NOT running at the time.
Locate the application's icon in the Applications folder, click it once, then press command-I to Get Info. You'll find either a set of boxes in which to enter the Minimum and Preferred memory allocations, or a pulldown menu bar which will probably read "General", from which you can select "Memory"
Preferred is the amount of memory you want AppleWork to have if it is currently available when the program launches; Minimum is the smallest amount of memory you want AppleWorks to have. In the specified minimum is not available, the Mac OS will not launch the application, and will present an alert explaining why.

There is not enough memory to complete this operation

A student has created a slide show in AppleWorks - version 6.2.9
OSX is 10.4.x as well as 10.3.x - the slide show is 1.6MB and the computers we are attempting to open the document on have 256MB of memory.
I have also attempted to open the slide show on an OS9.1 machine with 192MB of memory (AW 6.2.8, of course).
I think we can cover the 1.6MB in the document, which indicates something else is wrong.
Any suggestions on how, or if, this document can be recovered?
We have already suggested the student attempt to recreate it AND save more often or use smaller pictures.
Oh, yes, we are using Workgroup Manager on an XServe.
Thanks!

Im getting an not enough memory to complete this scanning operation error

I am using a WIA-HP CLJ CM1312 Scanner with Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard Version 9.4.6
This machine is Windows XP with 3gigs of RAM and plenty of HDD space....
When I try to make a color copy at a Resolution of 1200DPI I get an error saying that - "There is not enough memory to complete this scanning operation." It only works at 600DPI
I dont understand why I am getting this error. I would have thought my upgrade to 3gigs of RAM would have fixed this error.

1200 dpi can actually mean a lot of memory.
See if the steps under "error messages when scanning" releated to data transfer mode on this page help: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/325/325262.html

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.

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:
http://www.mokonamodoki.com/skydrive-pro-critical-error
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.

"There isn't enough memory to read worksheet" error when tried to open xlsx object from Powerpoint 2010

Hi,
I have a powerpoint presentation (will call it A.PPTX) which has an embedded spreadsheet object (B.XLSX). I was able to double click the object in "A" and open "B.XLSX" as and when necessary.
today, i opened B from the A and inserted another spreadsheet C.XLSX as an object in B. Closed all the files and saved A.PPTX. when i tried double click and tried to open B.XLSX from the powerpoint, i am getting an error "There isn't enough memory to
read worksheet"
Unfortunately, i don't have a backup of B.XLSX as I always edited it by opening it from the presentation. is there a way to recover it?
Note:
1. read through similar threads in the forum about errors while inserting objects or similar error in Powerpoint 2003. the solution provided did not help

Hi
By the description, you want to recover the embedded worksheet in PowerPoint.
Try following methods:
1.Click to the presentation file
2.Change the file extension from pptx to zip
3.Open the file, locate to ppt>embeddings
4.There you will see the embedded worksheet
5.Save the file to another path and open it
If the worksheet is still corrupted, following these steps to recover an Excel file:
1.Change the file extension from xlsx to zip
2.Open the file, locate to xl>workbook.xml
3. These XML files contain the data of each spreadsheet.
4.Copy the data to a new worksheet and save

Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to sync my new iPad. Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook? I'm angry!

Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 with Leopard and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that my system can download the relevant iTunes upgrade to sync my new iPad and get my audiobooks (which don't appear anywhere on the device right now). Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook and Snow Leopard costs more also? I don't have financial resources to pay for all the new memory requirement and related upgrades they say I need just to sync my iPad with my purchases.

Thanks for the reply but I already knew this. $20 for Snow Leopard which asks for 5gb free memory. I can only see that I have 4 gb (which I feel is rather a pathetic amount of available memory for any computer). To upgrade this computer's memory will cost another fee (I haven't researched this yet but gather it's more than $20). Then of course I could also be told that the OSX Mackbook Pro that I have can't be memory upgraded - which means I'm being told to buy a new computer - hence my very frustrated last email. I have been given a lovely iPad 2 as a present and now can't sync at all with anything because of this ongoing upgrade nightmare. How on earth am I going to be able to sync my movies, audiobooks etc to this new device??

Can't finish previewing. There isn't enough memory. ID = -108

We run CS5.
One of our clients sent us a file that they would like printed. The file is 1MB in size, and in PDF format - nothing unusual about any of this. As usual, I saved the file and tried to open it in Illustrator to set up a proof for our customer, and to check and make sure the file is print-ready. I received the error: "Can't finish previewing. There isn't enough memory. ID = -108". I press OK and it opens up a blank file with some crop marks on it.
I've tried finding a solution online, but everyone who has this problem seems to have next to no RAM. I'm running on a brand new computer with Windows 7, 16GB of RAM and the Intel Core i7 processor. I didn't think my RAM or cache were the problem, but just to be sure, I shut off the computer, let it sit for a few minutes, and started it up again. Same problem.
I am able to open the file in Photoshop and Acrobat - but even when I save the file at a lower resolution, and turn it into a jpeg, it still won't open. I get the same error.
I need to be able to work with this file. How can I resolve this?
Thanks!

Hi Josh--I was out the remainder of the day and evening.
I don't know whether you have gotten to the bottom of the problem yet. The PDF seems to just consist of an image. It opens and places fine here in everything I have that can do so.
There doesn't seem to be anything extrodinary about the file. It included crop marks, but as far as I can see, there's nothing way out on the artboard, etc., that could indicate there was something weird.
If you would like a file, I can ZIP an AI file and the extracted image--which you can also do from Acrobat as well.
Take care, Mike

"Can't copy the type. There isn't enough memory. ID=-108"

I'm running Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Photoshop, iTunes and Suitcase. In Illustrator I get an error: "Can't copy the type. There isn't enough memory. ID=-108"
How is this possible with 4gb of ram and 242 gb available on my hard drive? Is my new MBP a lemon?

Illustrator itself it's what's short of memory, these tips apply to After Effects and the same error message so see if you can apply them in Illustrator.

ERROR! "There is not enough memory to open this scene."

I have a file that is proving impossible to reopen.
Whenever I open it i receive an error message that says
"There is not enough memory to open this scene. Your document is
not damaged and may be safely saved. To increase available memory,
close open documents or quit and use Get Info command in the Finder
to allocate more memory to Flash."
I have looked all over the internet for help and although
this seems to be a pretty popular problem, no one ever has a
solution. Some people claim it is because of a corrupt file they
tried to import. I don't have any files in the library of this
document and it is all completely vector.
I desperately need this file. Do have any ideas regarding
what I can do? Thanks a lot.

You just posted that it seems to be a popular problem. We see
that complaint a lot, ever since MX2004 came out. Usually
associated
with the larger fla files.
Once the fla is corrupted there isn't a recover tool for it
(that I have heard of) You can start over or use a decompiler to
recover the pieces and code from it to use on your new one.
soThink swf decompiler can usually make a pretty good fla from a
working swf file (but not always)
