  • Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and tr again

    Hello,
    Just purchased a new laptop:
    Intel Core 2 quad
    4gb memory
    1000 HDD
    Photoshop CS 8.0 disc dead/scratched/unreadable.  So I copied my Adobe folder from my Program Files Folder on my PC and pasted on laptop.  When I try and run PS I get the error message "Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try again". Which I do then Photoshop closes.
    Can anyone help (in layman terms please)?

    Not really. You are essentially FUBARd. Without a proper install, there is usually no way on to get the licensing stuff working. You might be able to get there by installing any other CS product, so PS could latch on to the licensing system that would be already in place, but otherwise it's a lost cause. Simply copying over the executables is normally not enough. I will admit though, that I skipped CS, so there may be some tool somewhere that I don't know about can do this post facto...

  • Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try agai

    I have just had a Windows XP failure and took the opportunity to replace with Windows 7.  After I reinstalled PhotoShop CS(1) the message "Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try again"  is shown and forces PhotoShop to close.  I have 4Gb of Ram installed and a total of about 10Gb of Page File space on three partitions of a 500Gb HDD.  The system is not heavily loaded!  However, I cannot access Photoshop to check scratch disk allocation.  How to fix???

    Yes, there are many forums, and it can be confusing. Your question has the best chance of being answered if it is in the proper place. I think it is there now.

  • How to close all applications at once in an iPhone ?

    how to close all applications at once in an iPhone ?

    Double click the home button.  Swipe up toward the top of the iPhone each icon that you see over an app icon.
    When finished, single clock the home button.
    This closes each application one at a time.
    To close them all together, restore the iPhone.

  • When demand is high does os x mavericks automatically close open applications?

    Hi,
          I don't generally like to have lots of applications open but I do notice that even when I close some apps (such as iBooks or Preview) by clicking on the red dot, they are still showing as running in the Activity Monitor - Memory.
    Will the OS automatically close them if I open other applications and the 'Memory Pressure' goes too high or will the MacBook just slow down until I mechanically quit them piecemeal fashion in AM?
    NB: I'm am a recent ex-windows user so am not very familiar with macs.

    To see which programs are running and to quit them, you can click on the Apple symbol in the upper left-hand corner of the screen and click on "Force Quit." Any programs that are open will show up in there.  To close them you can double click on them in the list and you will see the task bar at the top change to that program.  For example, if you see that Safari is open in the list, then, when you double click on it, the task bar will change at the top to show that you are now in the Safari program. To close it all you would have to do is to click on "Safari" and out of the drop-down box, choose "Quit", and it will close the program.
    Or, you can click on the Apple symbol, and "Force Quit." Once the list pops up, select the one that you want to close and then click on "Force Quit" down below the list.  This will bring up a message asking you if you are sure that you want to close it, or something to that effect.

  • IMac logs me out and closes all applications while working

    Hi,
    I am facing a ridiculous problem now with my new iMac. I have been using if for a while now. Recently it has started showing this issue.
    Issue:
    While I am working on the mac, suddenly without any notifications or any actions being taken iMac logs out. It even closes all my open/working applications all of a sudden and takes me to the login screen.
    When I log back in, it's like the system has been restarted/afresh. And I again need to open all my applications.
    This has started from last couple of weeks, and happens once/twice each day.
    Anybody have any clue why this happens? It has become a headache for me as it closes all my unsaved works too

    Thanks for the reply baltwo.
    Sorry that I missed to mention that. Before posting the question here, I searched the support forum and found a similar suggestion.
    Unfortunately that is not the issue with me. I have checked that and that option
    +System Preferences->Security->General and ensure log out after XX minutes of inactivity isn't checked.+
    The logging out issue still persists. And I am unable to find the solution yet.

  • HT6114 I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8.  When it tells me to close all applications, Safari will not close and I cannot proceed.  What to do?

    I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8.  It tells me to close all open applications.  However, Safari will not close and the installation cannot proceed.  Any suggestions?

    Either try to force quit Safari (press Command + Option + Escape keys and then choose force quit in the pop up window), or, you can also shut down the computer. Then boot up and open the app store application to download Mavericks - you don't need Safari for it.

  • How do I avoid closing out all my tabs by accident? a box used to come up asking "are you sure you want to close all tabs". Now I click on the X and it automatically closes all my open tabs.

    Sometimes I, by accident, click on the X and close out ALL of my tabs that were open. A box used to come up asking "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CLOSE ALL TABS?" Now, it just closes them all and I lose all my tabs that I had open. Is there a way to fix that?

    You can set the warn prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page to <b>true</b> via the right-click context menu or toggle the value with a double left-click.

  • How to automatically close all the popups on application logout

    Can anyone guide me in this regard.
    thanks

    Register a shutdown hook for each popup E.G.
               Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook(new Thread()
                    public void run()
                        // Code to close the popup
                });

  • Safari and Mail are closing automatically. I close all applications but nothing happens.

    Since yesterday I can no longer even open Mail and Safari, when I try to close them automatically ... Actually they are minimized but I close them and nothing happens.

    Yes, I did it...
    I'm thinking of doing a restore ... this is happening after the upgrade to version 4.3.2.

    help

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if coreaudiod crashed, you would enter "coreaudiod" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    ☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    ☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Blackberry 8330 - Automatically Close Unused Applications

    I'm having a lot of trouble concerving battery life on my Curve 8330.
    I have done all the usual recommended things to save the battery life.
    I understand that one can do the ALT + ESC to view a list of open applications. However this can be cumbersome.
    My questions specifically is...Does anyone know of any application or setting whereby applications might be automatically shut down when not in use, or when you navigate away without closing?
    Ideally this would be someting that would only affect apps that you defined as not necessary to be running all the time.
    Thanks!

    Other than using the proper shut down of an app (Menu > Close or Exit), a powered on battery pull reboot will automatically shut down all processes running in the background.
    I don't know of an app to do that for you. For instance, what if you want to allow something like Pandora Radio to run in the background, but the app you are looking for would automatically shut it down?

  • Automatically Start Up Applications within Guest Account

    How do I figure my guest account to automatically start up an application when a guest logs in?

    there might be an easier way but the following will work.
    1. Download and install [Leopard Server Admin Tools|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/serveradmintoo ls105.html].
    2. make sure guest is logged out and start Workgroup manager (it's part of Server Admin Tools).
    Enter localhost in the address field and authenticate with your admin username and password.
    3. select Guest account in the left pane and click on Preferences. Then choose Login and finally select the Items tab. select Always and add the program you want to start when guest logs in.

  • Trying to update firefox. It tells me to close all applications including firefox--the last box open is firefox setup. I close that and no setup--I tried and tried but it wants me to close a closed page?

    The update was downloaded and I started the process. The firefox set up box instructs me to close firefox. The only firefox is the set up box that is open. When I close the last firefox the set up is of course gone. The bottom line: It is telling to close a closed page.
    Thank you,
