Logic Pro 7 running out of memory!?!

Hi!
I am working on a project were I basically want to cut up every beat of a drum recording on 12 tracks and correct their timing individually (I have my reasons for doing this).
This creates a decent amount of regions and for some reason Logic starts complaining about running short on memory and not having enough memory for the undo history.
It bugs me because I am working on a Dual 2.5GHz G5 with 2 GB of RAM. Activity monitor says I have 480 MB of inactive memory and 1.25GB of free memory. Logic uses 300 MB of real memory and 762 MB of virtual memory. No other apps running.
How can I make Logic use ALL the available memory?
Is there a limit on the amount of memory that Logic can address? What is this limit, and how much memory is reasonably motivated for a PM running Logic?
How about plug ins? Do they have separate memory spaces not limited by Logics potential limits? "Drumkit from ****" can by itself use a couple of Gigs of RAM if available...
Thanks in advance!

However in the earlier days, running under Mac OS pre 9.x the ability to allocate memory to a specific application could increase the amount for the song event memory
No, it didn't. It increased application memory, but the song event memory remained the same, just as it does now.
I think, though, that with all Logic's new features, there is more actual data in an equivalent song, so the limit may be coming earlier. (I can't be sure of that though)
I know you don't want to, but did you at least try reducing the undo history size (in prefs) ?
Does deleting undo history and then saving help ?
Another thing to consider, although I don't think it generates warnings like you are seeing, is Virtual Memory. If the computer has been up for a long time, running memory-intensive apps, like Logic, then it can get overloaded (too many pageouts) which can slow things down a lot. If you do notice things getting slower, then restarting the computer will flush the Swap File and get things going again.

Premiere Pro CS5 runs out of memory

I have the same problem with Premiere running out of memory loading a project with lots of images in it. Running task manager, you can see it eat memory at 250MB per second until it pegs the meter after a short time and then things start failing. The CS4 version does not have this problem and opens the project without error.

What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of those still images? If they are overly-large, there is a very heavy load, when working with that Project. For Scaling them to fit the Sequence Frame Size, with automation in PS, see this ARTICLE.
If one's computer is already on the borderline for resources, overly-large stills can shove it over the brink. There are few reasons to use overly-large images, as one can only ever see the pixels in the Sequence's Frame Size. The only reason for using images larger than that Frame Size are to Pan on Zoomed out images, with Effect>Motion>Position.
Good luck,
Hunt

Is my macbook pro really running out of memory?

My Macbook Pro is almost 2 years old. OS X version is 10.6.8. Have 4GB of memory and about 250 GB disk space. Right now I still have 186 GB free space. Some weird things have been happening lately. Over a week ago, I started having problem when accessing my Yahoo mail. Sometimes it will be fine but most of the time it just hangs, the beachball will be spinning around and I have to force quit to get out. At first I thought it is because Yahoo just has this new format that is causing the problem. However, 2 days ago, the Finder just disappeared from my laptop and I had to restart to get it back on. Today when I tried to work on my 2008 Microsoft Excel workbook, I could not save it after I made changes. Excel just closed down with the message saying, 'Microsoft Excel has quitted unexpectedly'. This is a somewhat big workbook (8.4 mb) but I always have this workbook and keep it the same size so I don't know why all of a sudden I have a problem. It is true that if I worked on a smaller workbook then I don't have any issue. When I tried to save the big workbook, I looked at the Activity Monitor, the system memory had about 1.9 GB free and the % CPU would all of a sudden jumped to 100% then Excel would die. I only use my Macbook Pro for the internet, email, watch DVD, use Microsoft Word and Excel, other than that I don't do much else. Cannot think of anything that I did recently that would have caused this problem. If this is a PC I would think it's been infected with virus. I'd always used PC except this last 2 years, still don't know Mac too well to determine if this is a memory problem. I hope someone from the forum can help me out. Thanks.

Sounds like a problem with Excel, perhaps you have a Macro virus.

What is application memory and why does my macbook pro keep running out of it?

what is application memory and why does my macbook pro keep running out of it?

There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
          A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
          Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Please note that if the cause is a memory leak, installing more memory will not help. That's likely if you already have more than 4 GB of memory. Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 and later. Some details may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
          View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, reset the printing system. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Error Message: Project Manager has run out of Memory

Hi there
So. I’m running Logic Pro on a Mac Pro and a Mac Book. No problem with it on the Mac Pro, but get this error message every time I open Logic on the Mac Book:
Project Manager has run out of memory.
The Mac Book has 1GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM and 43 GB Hard drive space available.
Can you help?
Kind regards
Tim Arnold

Ah yes, good old Project Manager. There are plenty of times when it causes more problems than it solves.
You might try deleting the following folder:
User/Library/Preferences/Logic/PM Data
If you use Project Manager, it's easy enough to rebuild the table. If you don't then don't worry - just delete it. By the way, if you're into Project Manager or would like to know more, go to the website of the perhaps the most generous man in the Logic world, Edgar Rothermich and grab some of his user manuals.

Project Manager Has Run Out of Memory????

i've been using Logic Pro 7 for about a week. i've only created 2 very small projects so far. today, when i opened up a Logic, a window immediately opened in my new blank session that said "Project Manager has run out of memory". What does this mean??? I'm not really sure what restrictions i'm now dealing with, but i do know, that now, when i try to import an audio file, such as an mp3, i am not allowed to do it. The window opens, and i select my itunes folder, and i see all my mp3's, but it wont let me click on them!!
What is going on????? i have 30 gigs of space free on my hard drive. Why is it saying that my project manager has run out of memory??? I have no idea what this means!! I'm seriously ready to throw my Macbook at the wall and go back to PC cuz it causes me way too many problems.
Thank you for your time.

Project Manager was something of a beast on Logic 7 and has been removed in Logic 8 with nobody that I've heard complain about its demise.
You would do well to delete the existing Project Manager configuration file which is found at:
user/Library/Preferences/PM Data
You won't cause any problems by doing that and you're 99% certain to fix your problem. For more info on location of the preferences files, see:

Hope that helps.

Will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?

hi there guys,
will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?
I'm not sure if my machine is 64 bit - it is the current model base mac mini.
Many thanks for any help you can offer !
Simon

SkiJumptoes is right. 4GB is not enough to comfortably run Logic X.
Your Mac Mini will need DDR3 SODIMM RAM. That website seems incredibly steep though. I guess that's the price of finding it for you. You're better off going to any below:

Running out of memory... what to do?

I am using a mid-2012 non-retina 13" MacBook Pro that I upgraded with a large SSD and 16 gigs of RAM, but I find myself running out of memory every day. I am developing a DirectX11 game engine in a virtualized Windows 7 environment, and my memory needs apparently exceed the 16GB I have. Is there any way to add more memory to my MacBook Pro, or can any Apple notebook hold more than 16 gigs of RAM? (officially or unofficially)
I can't afford a Mac Pro (a shame since it would have been right at home in my chain of Thunderbolt devices) but if I could upgrade my MacBook Pro with 32GB of memory or more, that would be a life saver. I am starting to think it is unreasonable of me to except my consumer notebook to do the work of a professional workstation, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask around.
Thank you for your time!

I'm sorry, but 16 GB of RAM is the maximum amount of RAM MacBooks Pro can use.
As you are using Windows in a virtual machine, this RAM problem would be solved if you install Windows through Boot Camp. By doing this, your Mac will run faster because you will not be using all the RAM, apart from getting the maximum performance in Windows.
Your Mac supports 64-bit Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, so you can install any of them. Then, follow the steps to install Windows in your computer > http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf
I do not recommend to use Windows in virtual machines if you want to do tasks like game design because they require that your GPU and CPU work at the best performance.

Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?

"Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?"
I am looking for the cheapest way possible to run Logic Pro 9 and will purchase a second hand mac mini if it will run the software.
Thank you!

Yes it will.. I would recommend you use the combination of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and LPv9.1.5 (or 9.1.8 if you have to..) with that particular hardware to get the best performance out of it... I would not recommend running any OS X version higher than 10.6.8 as each new version of OS X from then onwards.. placed a bigger performance hit on the hardware... and frankly, less stability with LP9.
As to how well it will run on that hardware.. will more depend on the sort of loads you place on it.. depending on the type and content of the music you wish to compose... It will run and you should be able to create reasonable sized projects.. but again, it all depends on the plugins used.. the number of them... the number of tracks and so on... so to give a more precise answer is difficult.

Mac Desktop Manager - Device has run out of memory

So, long story short, this is the latest (of a very long string) of error messages. I have been able, with the help of these forums, to troubleshoot all the others.
I am syncing my BB 8120 (v4.5.0.174) to iCal with the Desktop Manager, only set to sync calendar. It simply drops with an error that the 'Device has run out of memory'. Checking the Applications tab shows 17mb of free space.
History:
I got this Blackberry a few months ago, deciding I wanted a robust phone with good battery life that had email.
I use gmail. Apparently this is not compatible with BIS, and had continual problems. This is still unsatisfactory - I have to use the gmail app which causes problems (hanging) and does not support push.
I was dismayed to discover that a Blackberry sync client for Mac had only recently been announced, however I persevered.
When it was released, I started using it, but it has continually given errors on all manner of different combinations.
I recently solved the contacts problem by syncing using the Google sync, which syncs also with my mac over the air.
This is not a solution for the calendars because iCal does not support google calendars well enough for my liking.
The phone sporadically has a spinning hourglass, for what reason(s) I cannot determine, even after battery pulls etc.
Suffice to say I have spent hundreds of hours troubleshooting this phone over the last months. For a phone whose main selling functions are email and organisation, it does neither of these reliably or well.
If I do not solve this problem soon I will return to my old phone which supported everything above more reliably, and had 4 times the battery life to boot. The only thing I would miss is the qwerty keyboard.

Hi ..
If you can, don't run other memory intensive apps while using the Finale app.
Open the Activity Monitor located in HD > Applications > Utilities then select the Memory tab.
From there you can see which apps are using the most RAM. (memory)

Alert! soundtrack pro is running out of resources

hello friends,
I keep getting this message after doing a few edits in STP:
Alert! Soundtrack Pro is running out of resources. it is recommended that you save your work and relaunch the application.
I thought this may be due to too many programs running at once, so I shut everything down, did a restart and still get this message. I did just run system updates and there were a few program updates -- Safari and a couple others, I think.
Here are my system specs:
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 32 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)

Either of these should help.

Or search 'disk size' in the App Store.
Be carefull with what you delete & have a backup BEFORE you start, you may also want to reboot to try to free any memory that may have been written to disk.

How can I avoid running out of memory when creating components dynamically

Hello everyone,
Recently, I am planning to design a web application. It will be used by all middle school teachers in a region to make examination papers and it must contain the following main functions.
1)Generate test questions dynamically. For instance, a teacher who logs on the web application will only see a select one menu and a Next Quiz button. The former is used for determining the number of options for the current multiple/single choice question. The later is dedicated to creating appropriate input text elements according to the selected option number. That is to say, if the teacher selects 4 in the menu and presses the Next Quiz button, 5 input text form elements will appear. The first one is for the question to be asked such as "1.What is the biggest planet in the solar system?", the others are optional answers like a)Uranus. b) Saturn. c)Jupiter. d)Earch. Each answer stands for an input text elements. When the teacher fills in the fourth answer, another select one menu and Next Quiz button will emerge on the fly just under this answer, allowing the teacher to make the second question. The same thing repeats for the following questions.
2)Undo and Redo. Whenever a teacher wants to roll back or redo what he has done, just press the Undo or[i] Redo button. In the previous example, if the teacher selects the third answer and presses the Delete button to drop this answer, it will delete both the literal string content[i] and the input text element, changing the answer d to c automatically. After that, he decides to get back the original answer c, Jupiter, he can just click the Undo button as if he hadn�ft made the deleting operation.
3)Save the unfinished working in the client side. If a teacher has done half of his work, he can choose to press the Save button to store what he has done in his computer. The reason for doing so is simply to alleviate the burden of the server. Although all finished test papers must be saved in a database on the server, sometimes the unfinished papers could be dropped forever or could form the ultimate testing papers after several months. So if these papers keep in the server, it will waste the server computer�fs room. Next time the teacher can press the Restore button on the page to get the previously stored part of the test paper from his own computer and continue to finish the whole paper.
4)Allow at least 1,000 teachers to make test papers at the same time. The maximum question number per examination paper is 60.
Here are my two rough solutions,
A.Using JSF.
B.Using JavaScript and plain JSP[b] without JSF.
The comparison of the two solutions:
1)Both schemas can implement the first and the second requirements. In JSF page I could add a standard panelGird tag and use its binding attribute. In the backing bean, the method specified by the binding attribute is responsible for generating HtmlInput objects and adding them to the HtmlPanelGird object on the fly. Every HtmlInput object is corresponding to a question subject or an optional answer. The method is called by an actionListener, which is registered in the Next Quiz commandButton, triggering by the clicking on this button in the client side. Using JSF can also be prone to managing the HtmlInput objects, e.g. panelGird.getChildren().add(HtmlInput) and panelGird.getChildren().remove(HtmlInput) respond to the undoing operation of deleting an optional answer and the redoing operation of the deleting action respectively. I know JavaScript can also achieve these goals. It could be more complex since I don�ft know well about JavaScript.
2)I can not find a way to meet the third demand right now. I am eager to know your suggestion.
3)Using JSF, I think, can�ft allow 1,000 teachers to do their own papers at the same time. Because in this scenario, suppose each questionnaire having 60 questions and 4 answers per question, there will be approximately 300,000 HtmlInput objects (1,000X60X(4+1)) creating on the server side. The server must run out of memory undoubtedly. To make things better, we can use a custom component which can be rendered as a whole question including its all optional answers. That is to say, a new custom component on the server side stands for a whole question on the client side. Even so, about 60,000(1,000X60) this type of custom components will be created progressively and dynamically, plus other UISelectOne and UICommand objects, it also can�ft afford for most servers. Do I have to use JavaScript to avoid occupying the server's memory in this way? If so, I have to go back and use JavaScript and plain JSP without JSF.
Thank you in advance!
Best Regards, Ailsa
2007/5/4

Thank you for your quick response, BalusC. I really appreciate your answer.
Yes, you are right. If I manually code the same amount of those components in the JSF pages instead of generating them dynamically, the server will still run out of memory. That is to say, JSF pages might not accommodate a great deal of concurrent visiting. If I upgrade the server to just allow 1,000 teachers making their own test papers at the same time, but when over 2,000 students take the same questionnaire simultaneously, the server will need another upgrading. So I have to do what you have told me, using JS+DOM instead of upgrading the server endlessly.
Best Regards, Ailsa
