Has anyone solved this? – "Can't finish previewing. There isn't enough memory."

Hi, i've been getting this message only since i switched to CC. I'm running an iMac i7 with 16GB of RAM and the pieces i'm working on are very small files and in the middle of working the notification comes up and then the image goes into a wireframe (outline) image. This should not be happening. Any ideas.
Thanks!

Oh, I didn't know that!
I did ask her to download the CS6 trial while I researched this, to see if that solves the problem, and it seems that it might as it is available for 64-bit.
If anyone else has any suggestions, though, I would be glad to hear them.

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.

I too am getting the tritone sound every day at 2 17 pm with no message or notification on my 4s, has anyone solved this problem yet since 09? thanks

I have been getting the tritone sound at 2 :17 pm every day for a while now with no message or notification to back it up , I think this has been a long term problem since 2009 according to your past discussions , so has anyone solved this problem yet? 1phone 4s system ios 6.1.3. Driving me crazy diving for the phone and seeing a blank screen , feel like someone some where is saying 'got ya' and laughing their butt off every time.

Dock has moved lower with Mountain Lion. This truncates the indicator light below the dock. Has anyone solved this problem?

I'm confused. I just got an email from Apple Support Community (updates) and I see that a "baltwo" response is marked "This solved my question" (no offense directed towards baltwo). The question just seems to be more defined, not resolved. This is an Apple OS problem (seemingly) and needs to be directed towards a technical representative, not the community. I would ask that if anyone knows how to push this issue towards Apple, that is where the solution lies.
File a bug report with Apple via feedback. Do note that this goes through marketing and sales. No telling when it'll get to engineering. Alternatively, if you want to report this issue directly to Apple's engineering, bypassing marketing and sales, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering and you'll be able to track its status.

I solved that particular problem for myself (although I am running iTunes 11 under Snow Leopard on an iMac) by deselecting one of my Users Admin. privs. You see, I had two users w/admin privs & iTunes now plays nicely when there is only one admin.
Otherwise, I would keep getting stuck in an "infinite loop" of resetting passwords over & over and still iTunes was a mess - albeit on an intermittent basis which was absolutely driving me nuts!
I also think that firing up Safari and signing into my account @ apple first seems to help; providing that an apple cookie gets placed in my machine before I go to the iTunes store and enjoy surfing around there.
Anyways, good luck~

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

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??

HT1535 When I plug my ipad into the computer to sync a message pops up saying it can not sync because there is not enough memory in the itunes library. Do I need to increase the memory in my itunes library and how?

When I plug my ipad into the computer to sync a message pops up saying that the ipad can not sync because there is not enough memory on the itunes library. Do I need to increase the itunes library memory and how do I do this, or do I just need to trasnfer things out of itunes? Thanks.

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

"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.

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.

Can't authorize music "There is not enough memory available"

For some reason, my computer got deauthorized last week. When I try to reauthorize the computer, iTunes claims to successfully authorize the computer (it even increments the number of authorized computers). However, it then says:
"We could not complete your iTunes Store request. There is not enough memory available.
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
It's been doing this for about a week now. I try to reauthorize once or twice a day, and it just doesn't work. Any ideas?

This is most likely due to a problem with your Ethernet port, which is where authorization for the iTunes Store is based for Macs. To test this, do the following:
1) Go to the Apple Menu and select "About this Mac". On the screen that opens click the "More Info" button.
2) The System Profiler will open. On the left column under "Contents" click on "Network".
3) To the right, under "Active Services" click "Built-in Ethernet".
4) In the area below, scroll all the way to the bottom, looking below all the "Proxies".
5) If a section called "Ethernet" does not appear below "Proxies" or there is nothing underneath "Ethernet" or there is nothing next to where it says "MAC Address:" this means the Ethernet port is not functioning. It will need to be repaired, requiring a logic board replacement. Contact Apple.
Note that this issue may be intermittent. If so, the Ethernet problem will likely only show up when you are having a problem with inability to play purchased music.

Has anyone solved this problem?

My ipod was taking forever on the 'do not disconnect' setting and getting really hot. I left for work and it was still the same when i came in 4 hours later.
In the end i decided to simply remove the dock from the ipod. When the screen changed it had the notorious folder and ! icon displayed. Now when i attempt to connect to my PC it does the same-takes forever and doesn't actually shows up in itunes (although the usb port recognises it as large storage device).
All this is accompanied by a constant spinning of the hard drive in the ipod. I know this is a common problem and was wondering if anyone with this problem has solved it without sending it for repair.

One method is to change to a more reliable firewire connection. Try here:

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!

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.
