Itouch safari says "POSIX error 12-Cannot allocate memory"???

My wireless says full signal but whenever I try to connect to Safari the window pops up and says "Operation could not be completed-POSIX error 12-Cannot allocate memory"??? Anybody have any ideas for me...please??????

Follow both the solutions in [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6637319] of first restarting the ipod, if that doesn't help, then reset network settings.

  • Safari - POSIX error 12 - cannot allocate memory

    I am trying to use my ipod touch for the internet. When I try to go to a site I get the following error.
    Safari can't open the page.
    The error was: "Operation could not be com0pleted.
    (POSIX error 12 - Cannot allocate memory)"
    (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:12)
    How do I get past this error

    If you haven't already done so, I'd suggest rebooting your iPod. This isn't the same as turning it off with a quick tap to the button on top. Quite often a reboot of a computer will clear up a temporary memory issue. From the ipod touch manual:
    Press and hold the
    Sleep/Wake button on top of iPod touch for a few seconds until a red slider appears,
    then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo
    appears.
    Hope this solves it and you don't see the error again.

  • POSIX Error 12 - cannot allocate memory

    Hi
    I am having trouble to connect the iPod Touch to my home network, I can see that it recognize my netzork but when I try Safari I got the error 'Safari can't open the page, The error was "Operation could not be completed (POSIX error 12 - cannot allocate memory) (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:12)
    I wonder if the network is recognized through Safari.
    Do you know where to find the list or errors and correction?
    How do you know on Safari if you are connected to the network ?
    On my settings I got an IP address and all the parameters.
    Thanks for your help

  • Unable to copy hard drive on to external device from Disk Utility. Getting error message "cannot allocate memory".

    I am trying to retrieve the information on my hard drive after I spilled liquid on my keyboard . I can get to Disk Utility by using the boot up disk but when I try and copy the hard drive to an external device using "New Image" it tells me it is unable to create a copy because it "cannot allocate memory".

    Were you able to get any help with this problem? My MacBook Pro out of the blue wouldn't boot up all the way and now I'm trying to get a copy of everything onto the new external drive using disc utility but am having the same errors as you! Thank you for sharing any tips!! -Norah

  • Safari won't open web pgs, says cannot allocate memory - HELP?

    Just got iPod Touch, connected to WiFi, but any web page I try to open with Safari gives me the same message: *POSIX error 12, Cannot allocate memory. NSPOSSIXErrorDomain.* What on earth does this mean, and why can't I open any websites??? Grateful for any assistance! Thanks - lizmo

    I've never succeeded in opening a page yet! This is my first attempt. I get the same error message every time. Thanks for any help.

  • Mmap: Cannot allocate memory

    Hi,
    I am running Berkeley DB XML 2.4.16 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 6).
    I have a small test program (Java) that configures the environment with the following.
    config.setAllowCreate(true);
    config.setInitializeCache(true);
    config.setTransactional(true);
    config.setInitializeLocking(true);
    config.setInitializeLogging(true);
    config.setVerbose(VerboseConfig.DEADLOCK, true);
    config.setVerbose(VerboseConfig.RECOVERY, true);
    config.setVerbose(VerboseConfig.WAITSFOR, true);
    config.setVerbose(VerboseConfig.REGISTER, true);
    config.setRegister(true);
    config.setRunRecovery(true);
    The environment data directory has a DB_CONFIG with the following single line.
    set_cachesize 1 524288000 3
    When run, it produces the following error.
    mmap: Cannot allocate memory
    PANIC: Cannot allocate memory
    unable to join the environment
    What is somewhat bizarre is that I also have a equivalent C++ application that has no problem opening the environment with even a 2.5GB cache size.
    I have also observed this on other flavors of Linux and also with earlier versions of Berkeley DB XML.
    Any insight would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Neil

    Hi Lauren,
    I can confirm that the DB_CONFIG is in the environment directory and it is indeed being read as the cache files created in the environment directory do reflect the DB_CONFIG values on a successful open.
    If I set the cache size values in the DB_CONFIG to ~1.8GB or less, the Java version of the application has no problem opening the environment. Any value larger than that, it fails with the previously mentioned mmap error.
    If I remove the DB_CONFIG and explicitly set the cache size/count in code I observe the same behavior.
    Thanks,
    Neil
    Additional Information...
    Yes, I noticed that I contradicted myself and am able to get a larger cache size today than yesterday (1.8 vs. less than 1.5). I realized my test machine is heavily resource deprived. This would not be the case on the target machine which has 16GB of RAM and plenty of swap space available and that machine can't go beyond ~1GB cache size.
    But I guess the constrained resources shouldn’t influence a file mapping on a machine with plenty of disk space as the native version of the application confirms and behaves as expected

  • IBook - "POSIX Error - Cannot allocate memory"

    When attempting to use the Software Update, I get the following message: "POSIX Error - Cannot allocate memory."
    Also, when attempting to access Safari, the following message is displayed:
    Other suggestions previously have not worked, such as Preferences, Disk Warrior, etc.
    Are there any others that may be recent or ground breaking?  Is it possible that Tiger is simply at the end of its lifecycle?

    I use Tiger everyday as my main OSX, no such problems, though there are no Software Updates for Tiger for a long, long time.

  • POSIX Error "cannot allocate memory"

    Hi
    When I try to run an update or open Itunes I get a note appearing saying "POSIX Error "cannot allocate memory"....
    I have looked in these forums and tried to ring Apple with no luck, I am also reasonably computer illiterate.
    The only thing that has been done differently is that a friend connected his Iphone to get music
    Does anyone know how to rectify this?
    Regards Simon

    Usually this specifies a networking problem.
    A solution one user found on another forum was to set his modem to bridge mode and turn off automatic proxy. I don't know if that will work for you but I don't think it would hurt to try.

  • I get the following error when formatting a external hard drive. Partition failed with the error:  POSIX reports: The operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory

    I get the following error when formatting a external hard drive.
    Partition failed with the error: 
    POSIX reports: The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory
    I have a Macbook pro 13" A1278. I purchased it around december 2010. I have a HHD 3.5" drive desktop select II 1.5TB. I purchased it around Febuary/March 2011 to use with my Macbook pro. I formatted it and moved all my files to there, I got it so my macbook's hard drive wouldn't brake and I lose everything on my macbook.
    Is there any fixes?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • I can no longer access Safari on my ipad. I get the error:the operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory. Help please!

    I am not able to access Safari on my ipad. I get the error message: The operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory. Can anyone help please??

    Try this first.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work, reboot the iPad - or quit all apps and restart.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.

  • POSIX reports: The operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory

    Hi all.
    Please forgive my naivety. I'm a newbie here.
    I have searched endlessly to find a solution to my problem, but cannot seem to find one.
    I have just replaced a hard drive on a 13" Macbook pro (purchased end of 2009). It developed a fault, and would not boot. When turned on, would only produce a blank screen with a flashing folder featuring a question mark.
    When going through disk utility, the system could not detect any internal hard drive, which made me believe it was faulty.
    I ordered a 500GB Toshiba Hard Drive, and installed it as it should be. In Disk Utility, the system detects the Toshiba hard drive (it comes up in the list you'd expect it to). Whenever I go to 'Erase' or 'Partition', however, I get the following error message.
    "Disk Erase/Partition failed
    Disk Erase/Partition failed with the error:
    POSIX reports: The operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory"
    Is anybody able to offer this novice any suggestions as to what I might do? I have tried some "Terminal" entries, but they don't seem to help in the slightest.
    Thanks in advance,
    L.
    P.S. The Macbook is using Snow Leopard.

    Hi again OGELTHORPE.
    I've already run two hardware tests. One quick one and one extended one. It was unable to pick anything up.
    It's like everything is running perfectly, but when I go to erase the HDD or partition it, it pops up with the error message. Even when I try to erase and partition using "Terminal", I received the same error message.
    It's beginning to do my head in, but will see if replacing the SATA cable will make any difference. If it doesn't, I'll hazard a guess it could be the Logic Board.
    Thanks again for your suggestions!

  • Db_load error: Cannot allocate memory

    Hi
    when I try to import an dump file, i always get this error:
    db_load: BDB2055 Lock table is out of available lock entries
    db_load: Cannot allocate memory
    I executed "db_load -f outdb/outdb2 -h env xass.db"
    and i have set max locks by:
    dbenv->set_lk_max_locks(dbenv,1000);
    but it doesn't work.
    What should I do to prevent this problem?
    Thanks for your help in advance
    Mark
    Update:
    I have doing some tests, and i found that if I increase the number of locks by "set_lk_max_locks" in DB_CONFIG file,  the operation of db_load will success.
    The point is that the larger db file may need a very big value of locks, so why "db_load" doesn't release the locks during the running procedure? Is this a bug for bdb?
    becuase I can't increase the number of locks infinity!
    if not, How can i cause "db_load" release the locks of transaction?
    Does anybody can help me?
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    If you are importing a dump file into an existing environment and opened with the flags of(can have more) DB_INIT_LOCK | DB_INIT_LOG | DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_INIT_TXN, then it is true you may see the error about "lock table is out of available lock entries" when the dump file is very big. The db_load process will not release the locks since it needs to provent other process from accessing the database being built to provide data consistency in the transactional environment.
    The usually way for loading a database from a dump file is to specify an empty directory as the home directory. By this, the database will be created in a private non-transactional environment, and you can copy the database into your running environment after the db_load process finishes.

  • Using Disc Utility to copy my hard drive to a brand new external drive and am having the error "Unable to create...(Cannot allocate memory)".

    I'm not very tech savvy but am trying my best to use Disc Utility to copy my hard drive to a brand new external drive and am having the error "Unable to create...(Cannot allocate memory)".
    Last night no problems, woke this morning and it was freezing so I forced a restart and got the grey screen with the folder and question mark. Ran off to best buy to get an external drive... Please help! Thank you!

    I have done both. When I hold down the "C" key it pauses for a few seconds while the cd spins and then the flashing folder icon appears.
    Could be you have the wrong cd/dvd.  The mac will only boot a supported cd/dvd for your machine. The flashing question mark indicdates your machine could not find a valid os.
    When I hold down the "option" key for the startup manager the cursor comes up and moves but the actually manager doesn't come up no matter how long I leave the laptop on.
    Not sure.  Could be your machine does not support the startup manager. You would think the machine would ignore the key.
    Where did you get the dvd?  What is the number on the DVD?
    What machine do you have anyway?
