Low Memory Warning

I started a new app today and got the following message:
Low Memory Warning
Air Harp has detected your device is
low on memory. If a problem occurs
please restart your device.
No problem occurred. I think Stanza may have been using memory - I really don't know how to tell what's using memory.
How do I tell what needs to be shut down?

Pharmer,
Looks to me as though you don't enough enough physical RAM to run as many processes as you currently are. 2GB of RAM is pretty low these days. Do me a favor and -- click Start -- Type
MSconfig in the search bar and press enter -- Click the
startup tab and see how many programs are checked to start on bootup. You can uncheck ones that you don't need running all the time. That should free up some memory to keep you going for a bit. But a permanent fix would be to increase your
physical RAM.
EDIT: Switching to basic desktop will reduce the amount of RAM needed to run Windows, which is why you haven't gotten the problem since.

"Low Memory Warning" and "fails to create a virtual machine"

From ide.conf, I learnt:
If you are getting the 'Low Memory Warning' Message Dialog while running JDeveloper, please increase the -Xmx value below from the default 768M to something greater, like 1024M or 1250M. If after increasing the value, JDeveloper is no longer starting up because it fails to create a virtual machine, then please reduce the modified -Xmx value.
However,
If I set it to a bigger value, say 512M, it fails to create a virtual machine.
If I set it to a smaller value, say 400M, it throws Low Memory Warning after a short while.
So I do not know how to do. Total physical memory of my box is 4G. Free physical user memory after starting jdev is 1.5G.

512M isn't bigger, the default (according to your reading) is 768M...
I just tried with JDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0 (64-bit machine, but using 32-bit JVM) - works fine with 1024M - just to confirm that my changes are working, 5024M does give me "unable to create virtual machine"
Have you messed about with other settings?

Low memory warning on my iPad (3rd gen)

I'm receiving a low memory warning on my iPad (3rd generation), but I can't find the RAM info anywhere under the Settings. I always close my apps using the Home button, so nothing should be open except the app I'm using. How can I see the RAM available, and what can I do about the low memory warning?

You may have many apps open. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Low Memory Warning. . . with lots of memory left?

I keep getting a Low Memory Warning on my iPad and I have to click on OK. However, I have over 22GB left. Is this a known problem? What is the issue? Are my apps (games/videos) staying "open" even after I click the home button and if so how do I "close" them?

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions...
You can monitor "storage space" in the iTunes window.
Connect your iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes. Select your iPad under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window. Select the Summary tab.
You can see "Capacity" at the bottom of the iTunes window. If your iPad is telling you haven't enough space left try the suggestions here.

"low memory " warning popping up..

... "low Memory" "Save your work".Error message pops up. My system.. Dell 530 intel duo e4500 @ 2.20 ghz , 2.19ghz 3GB ram.. Why do i get this warning? Adobe says 2gigs is the minimum ram required.. what do I do to stop this error message from popping up? Thanks so much for helping this Knuckle head out..

Gonzalo,
I do not know Adobe's policy on discs, for the download version, but they do offer "replacement" discs, for the boxed version for a nominal fee. This, however, is usually for the latest version of each of their programs. Do not know if they offer this service to older programs.
I'd follow Steve's advice, but please report back with what you find out. I've always bought a boxed version, whether a new or an upgraded program, so I'm no expert on what Adobe offers.
Good luck,
Hunt

Low memory on iPad

After using Google Earth for a bit I get a Low Memory warning. It presumably means RAM. Under Settings - Usage this is called a crash. What do I do about this? Can I free up RAM memory? Thanks.

Plug it in to iTunes and see what it says. "Other" is probably large but should be less then 2GB. If larger, restore with your backup. If still too large, restore as new, i.e. without your backup.

Low memory iPad 2 after 8.1.1 upgrade

ipad2 after 8.1.1 upgrade receive low memory warning when using a link to another website from a website. Has anyone seen this?

Hey there saint38,
I you are still getting this error message when opening links in the Safari app, I would next quit all the running apps on your device:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes and then restore it as a new device and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

A1000 low memory crashes

IdeaTabA1000L-F, android 4.1.2, kernal 3.4.0, serial HGC1W5PYMany months ago i came on this site looking for a solution about my low memory problems, d/l a updated software fix for this which lasted a whole day. Installed an external sd card and moved irrelevent data to it, and still had problems. Lastly, just yesterday, i did a factory reset, and basically started over. My tab is telling me there are no updates and im running the latest version. On the web, playing games etc, i keep getting low memory warning in upper corner, and the browser crashes. Even with all the cache empty. Please help me so i dont do like the little kid on the nationwide commercial and throw this down on the cement!!!!!

Exchanging an ipad for a software problem is not a solution. I am replying to everyone who complains about crashes. The ipad air along with OS7 was apparently rushed to market. It amazes me that the previous version of the ipad along with the operating system is more stable than the ipad air. How do you release something inferior to the previous model. I spent a lot of money on the ipad air because I purchased the model with 128mb of RAM. If I could go back in time I never would have done it based on the problems with this new OS.

PE8 Low Memory Problem

I have newly installed PE8 on a Quad core, 4GB Mem, 6 TB Hdrives, Win XP SP3.
Open new project import 5 jpg photos (less than mb each), select them and add as group slideshow. As soon as the work area starts to render each of the pictures I got the "low memory" warning and basically the program stops responding. I am appalled that only 5 photos brings it to its knees--somethng is wrong
I have tried almost everything, (virtual memory is managed by windows all 6gb of it), defragged disks and virtual disk page file (ms sysinternals), cache is set to its own hd with 750 GB of space. I submitted this problem to adobe tech support and got referred to tech articles which did not help. I have tried running with msconfig turning off everything but it still does not work. I have done more reinstalls than I can count. More puzzeling is the fact that I monitor the ms process explorer from sysinternals and it show lots of physical and virtual memory available when the low memory warning occurs. I have reset the prefs and just about everything else but nothing works.
Attached is screen shot of PE8 and the Sysmonitor at the time the error occurred.
I have installed this same file into win 7 machine64 bit and it appears to work so I know the program works on other OS and machine, but I really need to work on my main photo processing machine (ie the Win XP).
I have seen many other similar post for memory related problems, has anyone found a cure?

Like you, I come from a 30 year career as an advertising still photographer. Back in my dark past, I got a degree in cinematoghraphy (video was basically live feed to air in a studio back then, or live capture to 2" video tape, for delayed broadcast.), but had so many still clients, that I really had no time to use my studies in film.
Fast forward some years, and digital image manipulation caught my attention. Most of my images were assembled in the darkroom via analog compositing, and when I saw my first Scitex computer, I knew that I was looking into the future. In a few years, Aldus introduced PhotoStyler for the PC, and PageMaker for layout. The future had hit my desktop. Shortly thereafter, Adobe introduced Photoshop for the Mac, and then for the PC. I shelved PhotoStyler for Photoshop 2.5 and never looked back. Though I still shot film, soon everything was digitized and on my computer, before delivery. Aldus sold PageMaker to Adobe, and the development team for PhotoStyler went on to form Ulead.
Everything I do now is digital, but still every image goes through my computer. I too work in .PSD format and keep that workflow all the way to my video production. I seldom use JPEG, unless a client hands it off to me, or I need to do a Save_As for a client's Web site. I just do not like the compression, even at low levels (high quality levels), and have always had a very powerful computer (for each generation), so large files were where I was most comfortable.
When I began producing video (DVD-Video), I explored the best was to maintain the ultimate quality, and tested extensively, how my NLE handled the large files. I became convinced that the results were better (to my trained eye), when all manipulations were done in Photoshop, rather than in the NLE. I could see the difference, and wanted the ultimate, for both me and for my clients. I also liked the ultimate quality control from PS, rather than leaveing the "decisions" to the whims and limitations of the NLE. When I moved to PrPro, I tested again, and found the results from PS to still be superior. Now, I do have to admit that I have not tested with each version upgrade of PrPro, or with PrE, and I am sure that they have improved, but still rely on PS for everything. The biggest plus for me, regarding PrPro was that it COULD handle my .PSD's, so no conversion, even to TIFF. I'm with you on the need to work with .PSD's, or .TIFF's, at the least. One reason that I rely on PrPro for sitll image work is that I can Import a Layered .PSD as a Sequence, keeping my Layers. I can then animate each Layer, as I want and do so quite often. This inability to Import my un-Flattened, Layered .PSD's into PrE is a big drawback. Until PrE adds Sequences, I do not expect this to change. Still, if one does not need to animate the Layers and retain them, PrE's ability to just work with .PSD's is a really big plus.
For me, to date, PrPro does everything that I want, but I can see the benefits of a program, like ProShow Producer, so I'm exploring it. I'll probably pick up a full-paid copy, just to test it's workflow and output vs PrPro. Right now, I'm waiting on the next big SlideShow Project to "buy" ProShow Producer for me.
I am still working with SD Projects, but will soon add HD and export to BD. I believe that this will get me closer to that quality "Holy Grail." Of course, this will also bring an upgrade for my workstation, my OS and a new video camera, plus a BD burner. It will be with this output in mind, that I will be testing ProShow Producer, plus PrPro CS4.1 (or whatever version it's up to by then).
Now, I'm looking less for any automation in the SlideShow production, mainly because I am a "control freak." I want complete power in the editing suite. The only use for automation is for batch processing my stills for use in an NLE, or SlideShow production program. I understand the allure of the automation to most editors, but that is just not my personal style. My workflow is much slower, but then I enjoy determining every aspect of every image.
Let me know what you think of the ProShow products, as I will greatly appreciate your observations, especially as you come from a background very similar to mine.
Good luck,
Hunt

Why does my ipad close apps because of low memory?

Low memory trouble shooting..

You are answering your own question actually. If you want to, you can close apps in the recents tray - and while the overwhelming majority of those apps are not actually running, there could be an app that is doing something that could be causing a problem. Close all of your apps and restart.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you 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 to close the apps. 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.
You should not have to do this on a regular basis, but try it and see if it helps at all. Then keep an eye on what apps are running when you get the low memory warning and sse if there is maybe a setting or a file associated with that app that you can change - or delete and then see if that helps even more.

Droid pro, low memory, factory reset

I have a droid pro. about 3 months ago it started giving me the low memory warning so i reset to factory defaults. about 3 weeks later it happened again so i factory reset it again. then it happened again. and again. Im tired of factory resetting and losing all of my stuff every month. The phone is not low on memory. the internal isnt even halfway used up and there is about 8gb on my micro sd card. does anyone know what is wrong?

Do you have a lot of emails saved on the phone? Text messages?
Have you cleared the browser cache?

Low Memory Warnings / Video Failed To Compile

Hey all,
I recently upgraded the RAM in my system from 8gb to 16gb. Around the same time, I moved my OS and certain files over to an SSD (probably not relevant, but better to provide the whole picture).
After performing the upgrades, my performance sped up in Premiere- hurray! Exactly what I wanted. That is, until I preview clips or render them. When I render, I tend to get a Low Memory Warning from Windows part way through the process, and then subsequently, a "Video Failed To Compiled" error. Sometimes the program crashes outright, my screen turns to black, or I have to restart my computer. This has only started recently since the RAM upgrades and moving my OS over to the SSD... and I'm feeling really disheartened about it.
The project I'm attempting to compile is about 1:30 long, isn't TOO effects heavy (four AE comps., Premiere Lumetri on every clip/sequence (in the main sequences), and running RedGiant Denoiser II on every clip).
Now, I've picked up on ONE thing that I may be doing that is unfavourable, though I don't believe it's the cause of the memory errors... My footage is currently stored on the SSD, as well as Premiere itself (along with all the CC programs), while my disk cache is assigned to a folder on my Seagate HDD.
Specs for the PC are:
Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 (latest updates)
Windows 7
Intel Core i5 3570 3.40GHz 6M
Kingston 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3-1333 CL9 RAM
MSI HD7850 TwinFrozr 2GB GPU
Asus P8Z77-V-LX MB
OS is running on a 250GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD
Everything else is on a Seagate 1TB Barracude 7200RPM HDD

Hello,
Thank you very much for the responses.
I am very sorry for my delay - the system had gotten to the point where it was restarting itself as soon as I logged in, so I could not try your suggestions.
This morning, I turned it on and tried Mattcoz's suggestion of closing and disabling RunSwUSB and so far, so good. The system is running as it should and I have not had a single low memory warning. If I start to get warnings again, I will come back and post a screenshot of my memory usage, but for now, the problem is solved.
Again, thank you both very much for your responses!

Low memory on iPad 2

The diagnostics of my iPad 2 says that my iPad has low memory.however I have 21.5 GB available. Please help. Thanks

I had this same issue with the new ipad, I kept getting logs generated that stated low memory. I am not aware of any problems or issues this created, it was just sort of an informational warning not that there was anything wrong. To “fix” it I just closed all the apps still in memory by double clicking the home button, holding your finger on one of the apps in the bottom window until they shake then hit the x to close them out of memory.
