Illustrator CS3 - "Not enough memory to place the file." Help!!!???

I have a new machine running XP Pro 64. Intel i7 processor, 12 gb ram.
I am trying to place a fairly small Photoshop image (with layers) into Illustrator CS3. I have done this countless times with XP 32 bit os.
But now, I cannot place even a small Photoshop image into Illustrator... I keep getting the error "Not enough memory to place the file."
I tried the suggestion of 'right-clicking' the Illy launch icon and going to properties/compatibility and then selecting "Run this program in compatibility mode for..." and then I check marked Windows XP.
Someone else said this worked in Vista 64.....but it DID NOT work for XP 64.....dang it.
Any suggestions???
Thanks

Well..... I just tried the same function on my 64 bit Leopard operating system on my MacBook Pro just for kicks. Worked flawlessly!!
So, why won't it work on XP 64 bit? Is this a case of 'the mac os is just better?"
Talk about flame bait -- You trying to start the platform wars again? ;-D
Can anyone tell me if they can place a Photoshop image from WINDOWS 7 64 bit OS into Illustrator without issue? We're talking 'PLACE' .... not paste.
Don't know about Windoze 7; but that operation works in Vista x64. XP x64 is
quite flaky at times. It was never finished IMHO.
Sure would like to know. I'd upgrade if it made the difference.

Not enough memory to place the file

hi when iam opening photoshop layered files at 300 dpi and having size 6x18 inches illustrator cs3 portable gives error message not enough memory to place the file and file is not opening ???

There's no such thing as an "Illustrator CS3 portable" version. What you have is an illegal torrent download. Any issues you experience may be due to the illegal copying of the software.

"not enough memory to place the file" error message

hello all,
running windows 7, illustrator cs3 on a pc.
trying to open or place psd files in illustrator and get the following message "not enough memory to place the file".
I've reset illustrator prefs, disabled "enable desktop connection", check scratch discs, etc.
Nothing seems to be addressing the problem, has anyone else run into this?

On Windows XP 64, opening PSD files with Illustrator CS3 does not seem to work.
What you can do to resolve this issue is to save the file as PNG in Photoshop. That can be opened in Illustrator and transprency is preserved.

Illustrator CS5 Error - "Not enough memory to save the file"

Hey guys,
I'm experiencing difficulties in exporting website from .AI to .PSD using Illustrator CS5.1 under Windows7 Home Premium 64bit. The error message says "Not enough memory to save the file".
I can assure you that i've got enough memory for scratch disks and my computer is powerful enough to handle this operation. The funny thing is that i am able to export the very same .Ai file using Illustrator CS5.1 under Windows XP 32bit on different PC.
I've tried to find a solution online, but it gave no satisfying results so far. So, i think the problem comes from the operating system, but i don't know how to fix it... any suggestions?
Thanks, Steve.

Sad to say I'm running into the same problem with a 40KB file.....
(download the following file and use it)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/2.4_GHz_Wi-Fi_channels_%28802.11b%2Cg_W LAN%29.svg
File -> Open
Modify the file slightly:
doubleclick the image
remove the channel 14 info (the text block "14" & "2.484", the T shaped path, the dotted half circle path)
drag a square around the "Channel", "Center Frequency", "(GHz)" text blocks and hold left shift and press the left arrow until the selected items are tighter to the rest of the image
select the bold base line, grab the right middle point to shrink the line (dragging from right to the left) until 'intersect' shows up, then release
click the top left "Back One Level" arrow 2 times so that you are back to the top level (out of isolation mode)
File -> Export -> Choose PSD
Export Options (all default settings)
Color Model RGB

Write Layers
Preserve Text Editability

Click OK.....
POOF! ERROR!

CS3: Not enough memory to place file?? (Vista 64 bit) SOLVED!!

For whomever this helps, I fixed my "Not enough memory to place file" problem (running Vista 64 Bit with lots of ram).
After trying everything else (checking cache files, deleting preferences file, uninstalling nearly all fonts, increasing virtual ram on machine, etc.), I solved it by right clicking the launch icon, and then in the compatibility tab checking the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" box and then choosing the XP OS from the drop down list.
Oddly though, I have a nearly identical Vista 64 bit machine running the same Illustrator CS3 and this has no problems (without the need for this fix).
Add this to your list of things to try.

YES! viveredesign is my new hero.
Adobe, your programs drive me nuts some days.

"not enough memory to place file" in CS3 - Huh??

Can't seem to find anything about this anywhere. User is trying to place PSD file into an AI document. When he does this, a dialog box pops up asking him which way he wants it placed (as an object or flatten document). When he chooses either option, he gets an error that there isn't enough memory to place the file.
This just started happening out of nowhere. Any ideas?? Can't be the RAM on his Mac, as he has 6GB.

Checki the Scratch disk I bet they are using the start up disk and they have good percentage of it loaded with files ad stuff. If it just started happening that is a good indication that they save one too many files to that disk.
Select a different disk with lots of room as the scratch disk and then restart AI.

Not enough memory to open the illustration error

I have Adobe CS5.
I am running it on a laptop with 4 GB of memory.
Windows 6.1
but when I open the system info in the product, it says I have 3836 MB of memory.
Only Illlustrator is loaded and I cannot open any illustrator files. I cannot even make a blank file.
I get the error message not enough memory to open the illustration.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled this product and it still doesn't work.
I tried the chat after 10 minutes of waiting for help they said they no longer support CS5 please try the phone.
I spent 20 minutes on hold only to find out that phone support is no longer available unless I want to spend $40 for an answer.
I am pretty angry and frustrated.
I have searched my computer for a /etc/launchd.conf file but I cannot find it.
I am stuck please help.

I have searched my computer for a /etc/launchd.conf file but I cannot find it.
That would be Mac only.... Anyway, start by trashing the prefs in the prefs folder:
Important Directories
Beyond that you might consider reinstalling Adobe Reader/ Acrobat. Some of these errors are caused by damaged shared PDf components. if the machine has a specific printer installed, remove it (temporarily) and uninstall its driver. This may also help, if files have stored printer information. Likewise, check your system's color settings and color profile usage. "Bad" profiles can have all sorts of negative influence...

Error "Not Enough memory to open the Illustration" when opening a placed image InDesign CS4 with Illustrator hidden
Thanks

Firstly, you may apply free to try product, it would repair your problem illustrator file and to import it to new .ai file with saving all content. This tool is named Illustrator Repair Toolbox. Prove it for free from here: http://www.illustrator.repairtoolbox.com/
This solution from adobe blog
Make Illustrator visible.
This issue appears only on Mac OS 10.6.x. The error message sometimes occurs when you drag files from the Finder to the Illustrator icon in the dock. The error can also occur when you right-click an Illustrator SmartObject in Photoshop and choose Edit Contents.
As ultimate measure you have to upgrade your MAC OS.

Not enough memory to load the tiff file

I did a search for this problem and there were two threads about it but I can't post to them. I think they are archived. Unfortunately, there was no answer to this problem in there.
The error "not enough memory to load tiff file" has been occuring in our shop on various computers with different resources. I believe that it has happened on our Mac as well. All are running Illustrator CS2 except the Mac which is running Illustrator CS3 and Leopard.
Has there been any progress on what the problem is? Has anyone found a solution that doesn't involve having to resave tif files as other formats to get them into the original Illustrator document? Or a solution that does not involve a huge work around?
I don't know the specs of all the computers in our shop but the one that I'm working on has the following specs:
Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz with 2.5 GB of RAM
Windows XP Pro Version 2002; service pack 3
Any help would be appreciated.

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:
https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren't+using%2C+and+then+try+again.

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.

Hello Pushtheriver,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:
Get help using iCloud storage
This may also help:
Understanding iOS device capacity
You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.

Not enough memory to complete the operation-how do i eliminate the error?

HI All,
I have posted the questions before in this forum,but as i am not able to cure the problem i am posting it again.
I have a large database oriented application to plot graph.Almost one year back given the application to the user.
They were not getting any problem before.But now the user is telling they are getting an error message-"not enough memory to complete the operation".The same application is running in one of our pcs also.But here no problem.
Tried to change the vitual memory setting in the user's pc by setting to system managed size.
But still getting the same error.
Why the same application running finely in one pc and resulting some error in another pc?
Except that they are getting the error message the application is running properly(ie,except that they are getting the error they are able to plot the graph.)Is there any work around for this?Atleast is there any way to hide the error message?

Hi user_1,
no, you can't hide that error message.
It seems you are dealing with very big data arrays (kind of duplicate posting). Please read the knowledge base article on memory efficient programming!
The "not enough memory" occurs when LabView has to create a data copy and doesn't get the memory needed for. The only (?) way to avoid this is efficient programming!
When you increase the memory available in the PC the error will only occur later!

Not enough memory to initialize the system??

Hi,
I am trying to write a little MIDlet but have experienced some trouble with starting the MIDlet. I use the phone S55 and the MIDlet has about 12KB.
There are about 9 displayables all extending List but one, which is just a string item. All runs fine up to that time, but then when I add two other displayables each including one text filed in order to add and save some info in a recordstore (the record store is even commented out) the mobile just show the message "please wait" and runs for some minutes. Once it also showed the message "not enough memory to initialize the system". But that can`t be because of two new displayables with text fields, can`t.
I appreciate any help.
Thx

It actually really seams, that the problem occures as soon as I create an Object:
private SaveLP saveLP = new SaveLP();
and the Class looks like this:
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
public class SaveLicencePlate extends Form implements CommandListener {
private LicencePlate licencePlate = new LicencePlate();
private TextField textField1;
/**Construct the displayable*/
public SaveLicencePlate() {
super("Car Licence Plate");
try {
jbInit();
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
/**Component initialization*/
private void jbInit() throws Exception {
// set up this Displayable to listen to command events
textField1 = new TextField("", "", 15,TextField.ANY);
textField1.setLabel("Neues Autokennzeichen");
textField1.setMaxSize(10);
setCommandListener(this);
addCommand(new Command("Zur�ck", Command.EXIT, 1));
addCommand(new Command("Save", Command.OK, 1));
this.append(textField1);
/**Handle command events*/
public void commandAction(Command command, Displayable displayable) {
if (command.getCommandType() == Command.EXIT) {
MIDlet1 midlet = MIDlet1.getInstance();
Display.getDisplay(midlet).setCurrent(licencePlate);
}else if (command.getCommandType() == Command.OK){
I mean, I wrote MIDlets before and never had a problem with a textField. Or do you see anything else that has the mistake?
