Increasing or freeing up Memory
I'm trying to open a Word document that was created with a newer version of Word but I have the converter. When I click "Convert" I get the message "There is not enough memory or disk space to complete this task." I know I have enough disk space. How can I free up or increase memory?
If you have disk space then it must be complaining about insufficient available RAM. Try closing any applications you don't need to have open when performing this function. If that still does not do it, contact the maker of this conversion application for more help.
Best of luck.

FIM: Freeing invalid memory in OCIServerAttach
Hi,
I have the following piece of code for making connection to Oracle server -
retCode = OCIEnvCreate(envHandle, OCI_THREADED, (dvoid *)0, 0, 0, 0, (size_t) 0, (dvoid **)0);
if(retCode == OCI_SUCCESS)
isEnvAllocated = PMTRUE;
retCode = OCIHandleAlloc( (dvoid *) envHandle, (dvoid *) &errhp, OCI_HTYPE_ERROR, (size_t) 0, (dvoid **) 0);
// server contexts
retCode = OCIHandleAlloc( (dvoid *) envHandle, (dvoid *) &srvhp, OCI_HTYPE_SERVER,(size_t) 0, (dvoid **) 0);
retCode = OCIHandleAlloc( (dvoid *) envHandle, (dvoid *) &svchp, OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX,(size_t) 0, (dvoid **) 0);
pError = checkError(*envHandle, errhp, OCIServerAttach(srvhp, errhp, (ptext *)dbName, strlen(dbName), 0));
Purify is reporting FIM: Freeing invalid memory in LocalFree {1 occurrence} and the stack trace is -

Also there is a leak associated with it too and the stack trace for that is -

Is it a standard leak that is happening in OCI.dll or it is the usage issue so that it can be solved by using OCIServerAttach in a different way.
Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

[email protected]I believe that both issues are actually the result of false positives. In general, it's not really possible to tell whether C++ code is actually leaking memory or freeing invalid memory handles. Tools like Purify, BoundChecker, etc. will generally give this sort of false positive when the code you're profiling does something 'dangerous'. I believe you can ignore both messages-- at least the Oracle ODBC driver development group did when I was there.

Freeing up Memory During CFFILE
I have a process that generates flat files using CFFILE. The
process uses a database reference table that feeds the query
parameters. I have several loops in this process which I thought
would be more efficient and free up memory after each CFFILE
"action append" but before execution of the next query. (execute
query then write all the files, loop to query then write all files,
etc....)
Problem is that it is not freeing up memory and I am getting
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError errors after about 15 minutes of run
time.
Current solution is to run this process in batches. This
unfortuantly requires someone baby sit the process and change a
parameter and submit.
Is there anyway after the one of the loops is complete (query
has completed and first group of files have been written) and
before the next execution of the query that I can free memory?
I need to trick the process in thinking that the page is
complete then immediately initiate the next query to process the
files.
We have tuned the box as best we can, applied all patches
(MX7) . Process runs great in batches, but, just can't handle the
volume. Millions of rows are being processed.
Thanks
BillCurrent solution is to run this process in batches. This
unfortuantly
requires someone baby sit the process and change a parameter
and submit.
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError means that there are too many
objects in memory at one time. However, it is difficult to remove
objects in one continuous process while it is still running.
The word
batches carries a hint. In the circumstances, I would break
the process up into smaller jobs and use cfschedule for each. Each
job could store the data that subsequent jobs need in a file or in
a database table specifically created for that purpose. Use cached
queries for static data. Coldfusion will then read the data from
memory, rather than from a file or database, sparing you the
creation of yet more objects. -
I am getting disc full messages on my Mac, unable to empty trash because not enough space, how do I proceed or do I need to increase my 4gig of memory in which case how do I go about this process.
You are confusing RAM (Random Access Memory) with hard drive data storage space.
Your hard drive storage is getting too full if you can't empty your Mac's main trash.
Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
( as you mentioned, you can't empty this as your hard drive is too full.)
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck! -

How to increase the shared video memory on Portege M100
I have a Portege M100 and I would to increase the shared video memory. In the technical documentation: shared video memory 16-64MB
I have 768MB of RAM
but can't do it in the Bios or Windows.
where i can do it ?
(i'm french, sorry for the bad english)Hi
I have also noticed that on units with Intel graphic chard it is not possible to ser shared memory usage manually and it works automatically. On units with ATI graphic card manual selection is possible.
Why is 16 MB in usage and not more, about that we can just speculate. If you want try to check Intel page. As far as I know they have very good explanations for own technology. Maybe you will find something there. -
Increasing Crashes "Read Only Memory Exception" HELP please!

on OS X10.4.11.
If I choose passive FTP, Dreamweaver appears to upload a
file, when in fact the error logs reports that the file could not
be upload because it was not found, or because of permission
problems.
If I do not upload with passive FTP , Dreamweaver 8 crashes
& Dreamweaver 8 loses the site's root folder, informing me that
it cannot be found and I must use the manage sites feature to
recreate the cache for the site that was there.
If I use FETCH, no problem... all files are uploaded
successfully.
I recently had a hard drive failure on my Mac, had a new HD
installed by the folks at the Genius Bar, and thought perhaps my
new HD was buggy... however, now it seems there must a a
permissions problem built into the Dreamweaver FTP protocols.
I have not seen a patch for this, although when I reinstalled
the software, I did download all updates.
I know my reply offers no solutions, but I do thank you for
your post. -
Hi,
I have a file that must be run using Terminal only. Its a pretty large file and i do remember that in WIndows we had an option where we could maximum run-time memory to speed up the process of a particular task. Is there any, such chance in Mac ?
Thank you
TejaDear Kappy,
Thank you so much for the reply. Basically this is what i am trying to figure out. I acknowledge that Mac and Apple are well built in every aspect. But i am just curious. Kindly bear.
In Windows, when i go to Task Manager > Processes > I can right click on any of them, and i can increase the Memory that is allocated from Normal > Above Normal > High > Very High > Real Time. So i am trying to work and do the same on Mac too. Because there is an application (Terminal), which i want to be executed at a higher rate.
Yes i did try Renice as you mentioned. But there was "no immediate significant change". Then i also used a GUI version for renice, called "Process Wizard". Which also did the same.
However thank you for the reply.

Sudden increase in native heap memory
Hi all,
we are using JRockit 26.4 and currently configured with 1800MB heap on windows 2003 with /3GB switch.
We noticed that after the weblogic server is started the total memory (java heap + native memory) lingers around 2550 MB... (We monitored this using perfmon -> virtual bytes of java process)
after couple of days run, the native memory suddenly increased by 300 MB, taking the total virtual bytes to 2850 MB.
Do we know what could be the reason for such a sudden increase?
Thanks,
- Pritam.I don't believe this is documented anywhere unfortunately, and it might vary depending on the exact JRockit release. But the key thing to watch out for is growth, regardless of which component it is. If you see that, post a question here and we'll find someone to tell you what the issue is...
That said, here's an example printout and some guesses from my side.

---------------------!!!Total mapped means mapped virtual memory, eg the largest size the JVM can be expected to grow to. This is typically on the same order of magnitude as the Java heap size (Xmx).
Total in-use is the actual memory in use, this is the current "memory footprint" of your process.
executable refers to JIT compiled code, I believe.
Java-heap is the heap (duh).
Stacks should be the thread stacks (where local variables are stored).
classes is native memory used to store bytecode etc. If this grows, it may be because you are generating classes dynamically and they are not getting cleaned up because there are still live instances. Or maybe you're running with -Xnoclassgc.
threads can grow if you start a lot of threads and don't let them die.
Stuff under malloc:ed memory is mainly misc JVM metadata.
unaccounted for memory is...everything else. The most common leak involving unaccounted-for is native byte buffers (DirectByteBuffer).

Increasing internal iMac HD memory- add a second internal HD for iMac9,1?
I have an iMac9,1, with Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz processor and only 150GB HD memory. I have a 1TB external HD but want to increase internal memory- is this possible to do myself? In system profiler, it looks like there is a second "Serial-ATA"... Thanks!
Thanks to both of you. I just saw there were two SATA devices and one is my maxed out hard drive:
WDC WD1600AAJS-40H3A0:
Capacity: 149.05 GB
Volumes:
Macintosh HD
Capacity: 148.73 GB
Available: 2.32 GB
I see now that the 2nd SATA space is occupied by the CD/DVD reader:
HL-DT-ST DVDRW GA11N
I don't think I want to replace that with a harddrive at this time.
I am concerned because my hard drive has gotten completely full (0 KB remaining) a few times, interrupting whatever I am working on, and I can hear faint clicking/grinding noise while it is running (sometimes it is louder than others). I have deleted files to clear 1-2 GB at a time, but I keep filling it back up, and I am guessing it is not good to continue operating at 99% capacity. It also recently made a horrifically loud noise when burning a CD or DVD that was very concerning to me... I was hoping to add a second internal drive so I wouldn't have to backup and reinstall my current one, as I have a number of costly software applications (eg Office 2008, Adobe CD4, Prism, etc) that were just copied from an older harddrive and I have no software installation discs, or codes or licenses to reinstall those...
As a quick fix, I do have the 1 TB Lacie backup drive, so I'm wondering if I maybe I could just change my iTunes music folder location to the backup drive or something to clear an additional 40GB of HD space for now? -

How can i Increase the shared vedio memory
i have hp cq 268tu.it's user manual explain it can increase its vedio memory but i cant do it how can i do it? in win7 win areo
can't activate....what can i do.....plz help meThe Shared Vedio Memory is controlled by the graphic card driver. The intel Graphics use Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) for dynamically allocating system memory for use as graphics memory to balance graphics and system performance. The Graphics memory is allocated based on system requirements and application demands (up to the configured maximum amount). When memory is no longer needed by an application, the dynamically allocated portion of memory is returned to the operating system for other uses.
Checking your system specs, I see that it can run aero without any issues... I would suggest installing graphics driver from here and check...

Error Handling and Freeing-up Memory
I'm trying to write my java programs as responsibly as possible. When an exception is caught and sent to my catch block, in order to properly free up memory do I need to set all objects (created prior to the error occurance in the try block) to null or does Java do this for me at the termination of the routine or thread? I used to do this in VB within my error handlers. For example, in VB, if I had created an XYZ object and an error occured later on, before I was done using object XYZ, as part of my error handler I would "Set XYZ = Nothing". Is something similar needed in Java?
Well it is always good to do a clean up routine you can do this by makeing a method that will set things to null and such and you also can use finally after the exception handler has exit and close streams and such in the finally {} catch also you can forcing finalization and carbage collection
here is a link for that
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/system/garbage.html
but I thank it is alway good programming practice to clean up after your self
ps I hope this helps
