Lighting effects not working, 'Could not apply the workspace because there is not enough memory (RAM)' with 4GB RAM?

Tried to use 'render/lighting effects' on 5 more or less new different laptops now. All kind of Window versions.
They all have at least 4GB RAM. The Graphic Card is compatible.
Layer to work on is RGB-Type.
It's all about Photoshop CC 2014, trial version.
When I go to 'Lighting effects' it says first:
'The 3D features require that 'Use Graphics Processor' is enabled in the Performance preferences. Your video card must meet the minimum requirements and you may need to check that your driver is working correctly.'
- I switched the 'Use Graphics Processor' on and off and restarted new - nothing happens.
- Video card is compatible.
Second it says:
''Could not apply the workspace because there is not enough memory (RAM)'
- RAM on all the computers I tested it with is at least 4GB
Please help!

We would need to know the amount of Video ram you have. If it is above 512 MB, then check for driver updates.
Windows OS
Click Start.
On the Start menu, click Run.
In the Open box, type "dxdiag" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.
The DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens. Click the Display tab.
On the Display tab, information about your graphics card is shown in the Device section. You can see the name of your card, as well as how much video memory it has.
Once you know the kind of graphics card you have, visit the manufacturer's website to download the latest driver. Here are links for downloading drivers from the most common graphics card manufacturers:

Without knowing anything about your system, your image file, your working document and so on nobody can even begin to guess. The file could be damaged, there could be color management issues at play and what have you...

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

How can I get my money back? and please take him down of your page as we (users) think that we are buying products that worked backed up by MAC.
Looking forward for an answer in order to keep buying in APP Store

"Safari could not download the file because there is not enough disc space"

"Safari could not download the file because there is not enough disc space"
I have 60gb available on my MBA and I have "read and write" privileges for the download folder. This error seemingly came out of nowhere. It doesn't matter if the file is 1gb or 10mb, I'll get the error. All I have to do is remove the .download extension and I can use the file which is complete despite the error.
This is really annoying so any help would be appreciated.

I never used to have a problem with creating a new folder and moving the download into it
But you'll have a problem if you do it now.

Hello everyone my iPhone 5s sounds stop working.i did not do anything it just stop working when I tried to turn on my music player all the sounds is not working I already check the volume and it is not also muted :( what happened can anyone solve my problem please

Hey Kirby17,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are not getting any sound from the speaker, follow this article.
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
Have a nice day,
Mario

"no photos were copied to the ipod because there is not enough free space"

i've been trying to download photos on my nano for weeks and i always receive this message :
"no photos were copied to the ipod because there is not enough free space on the ipod to hold your photos and albums."
the weird thing is that there IS free space; i actually made some (there are 18 available MB right now on my nano). and the folder containing the photos i am trying to download is far from 18 MB. but i still get the same message.
anyone knows what i could do?? thanks!!

R U sure you have enough space? Double check to make sure you are only trying to upload the pictures you want on your ipod not all the pictures on your computer (more than 18 MB).

The operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available

Illustrator CS5 Verison 15.1 on a MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013 Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3,
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB. Illustrator opens .ai and .pdf files. When I try to open a .dwg file, I get the following message, “The operation cannot complete because there isn’t enough memory (RAM) available”. I have been using the program for some time to successfully open .dwg files. This is a recent occurrence and I have not made any changes to the hard drive other than installing OS 10.9

Have you already opened that specific file at some former time?
Have you already tried a restart?
Apart from that:
Illustrator CS5 cannot use more than 3 GB of RAM, no matter how much is installed. OS 10.9 causes all kinds of problem even with newer versions of Illustrator.

"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.

Please some help
thank you !!

For resolving your issue, you are able to do as the followings :
1.Close any SkyDrive related process
2.Open a command prompt (not PowerShell), and change to the directory where Microsoft Office 2013 is installed by typing the command below:
cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\
3.Then type “groove.exe /clean /all” to clear all SkyDrive Pro cache and settings, setting it back to default again
Here is a similar post for your reference:
http://www.mokonamodoki.com/skydrive-pro-critical-error
If the issue still exists after doing the above steps, actually we have a dedicated support team regarding this kind of issue. I recommend you post a new thread in another forum where is staffed by many experts focusing on the Microsoft SkyDrive Pro client

Safari could not download the file because there is not enough free disk

I'm trying to download to the desktop and there is 257GB of space available. It will allow me to download to a folder in my documents. The finder keeps asking for my password when trying to trash items, I type it and then get a message that I don't have permission. It just started doing this today.

I have tried the disk permissions repair, but it doesn't help. I am the administrator of the computer, but I made sure that on my account is was still the administrator. I've read some of the forums pertaining to using terminal to trash, but I am not familiar with that so I didn't want to mess it up any worse. It just seems to effect everything on my desktop. I can download into folders and trash documents that are in folder, just can't download or trash anything on my desktop. It's strange. I have never worked with PC only macs and have never had any trouble until now.
