LR4 'not enough memory' export error

I commonly get this error when exporting images in lightroom. I have to re-export several times until everything eventually exports.
Here are the specs on my computer.
I'm running lightroom 4.4

If DdeGannes would have replied to one of the previous messages, which would still have showed his reply under yours, then it would have been possible to edit your last one, but unfortunately his reply removed your ability to edit your message and remove or replace the graphic. 
Someone who knows more needs to forward this thread to a forum moderator who can edit the message or remove the entire conversation, since you know what the issue is.
Back to the original question: it may work to export less images in a batch to keep from running out of memory. 
It seems like every release Adobe tweaks something about the memory management, to improve performance.  LR will run faster if more things are cached in memory and less is being read from disk, but unfortunately this uses up more memory.

  • CS3 & 10.5.2 unjustified "not enough memory (ram)" error

    This problem occurs when I use particular functions, usually colour related ones (eg. the colour sampler, using the colour palette and 'select by colour'). It also occurs at random. It seems to get more frequent as I use photoshop for longer.
    The error "Could not complete your request because there is not enough memory (ram)" pops up, often several time in a row. It is extremely irritating, and means I cannot use said functions.
    It is not the case that I have insufficient available ram, because the program will execute much more complicated functions. It handles vast drawings with fifty layers, but then cannot change the colour of the paintbrush in a small jpeg.
    I downloaded the latest Leopard update, which has not solved the trouble. I have also searched and searched, and can't find any other examples of a similar problem to suggest possible solutions.
    The details of my system etc. are below:
    Photoshop CS3 version 10.0, 30 day trial version, downloaded 4 days ago.
    MacBook Pro, about 6 months old. Running Leopard verson 10.5.2, updated from 10.5 yesterday. Processor 2.4ghz, ram 2GB
    Any help or suggestions would be very gratefully appreciated. I'd like to buy PS CS3 but not if it won't work properly on my Mac.
    Thanks

    I'm using windows xp with 2g of ram and have the same problem... "could not complete your request because there is not enough memory (RAM)."
    I heard this might be related to file corruption or not enough ram. So I killed every running process on my pc except the basic/necessary ones, tried to open a 87k image and i still get the same error message.
    I opened the image in windows fax/previewer, copied and pasted a screenshot into photoshop, saved the image as jpeg (with under 100k file size) and I still get the same error message when I try to reopen it. Reinstall did not work. Duplicated this on another pc. Adobe support knowledgebase was worthless for this issue.
    Seems like Photoshop is using up RAM and not letting it go like it should. I would not think that Photoshop requires almost 1mb ram to open an 87k image.
    Anybody find a solution for this besides upgrading a few hundred dollars worth of RAM to open only one 87k jpg?

  • Not Enough Memory Available ERROR.

    Just upgraded itunes to the latest (10.1, I think) and now I get this error message when I try to rent or download a movie:
    "We Could Not Complete Your itunes Store Request. There is not enough memory available.
    There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later."
    The only thing I've tried to do is rent and buy videos (to view on my new iPad!) so I don't know if this happens with music too.
    Am using Windows 7 pc, latest iTunes (updated today).
    Have tried it with the iPad connected and without it connected. Same problem.  (FWIW, it's an iPad 2 and I downloaded the software update today so it's definitely up to date. Many gigabytes free so memory can't be a problem).

    I've been having the same problem the last couple of days.  :-(
    Serves me right for waiting until a few days before a vacation to download some new music...I'd get it through Amazon but my gift cards are for iTunes. Grrrrr!!!!

  • Not enough memory (RAM) error. Can't open TIFF file.

    I can't open a 74MB TIFF file in CS5 photoshop.   I get error message: Could not complete your request because there is not enough memory (RAM). 
    I have 16GB of RAM and 55.5 GB of scratch disk.
    I am using my recently installed copy of Photoshop CS5 64bit on a virtual Windows7 machine running in Parallels on a recently bought MacBookPro. This software (now deactivated) has run successfully on an XP machine and has successfully open TIFF files of this sort before.
    I don't know whether this is relevant, but I can't update my copy of photoshop either. It downloads the updates, but will not install them.

    I have discovered that the problem is that the TIFF files I am tying to open are 32 bit files.  There are several references on the Internet to Photoshop not being able to open these files   These are output files produced by the astro-imaging software Deep Sky Stacker.  Within DSS  I can save the 32 bit TIFFs  as 16 bit files which photoshop CS5 can open fine.
    Does anyone know whether Photoshop CS5 can open 32 bit tiff files at all?  Would it help if I could update my version of Photoshop (see update problem above)?

  • 'Not enough memory' + 'Internal error' x 'Could not render the database' = Parting of company :(

    I can’t believe the amount of concern / disappointment / frustration spread across every associated Fireworks forum re: CS5’s
    "An internal error occurred"
    "Could not render the database"
    "Not enough memory"
    "Crash without notification"
    Etc.,
    We installed the CS5 trial – being more than wary about Adobe’s past releases – and lo and behold, all of the above beared ‘true’!
    This is nothing new of course, we’ve all been experiencing this since CS3 – but hoping against hope - a newer release would solve the poor memory management and general ‘bug-ridden’ code; alas - as per usual, Adobe has not responded with any pro-solution based action, but successfully furthered our frustration with a couple of fresh gimmicks without strengthening the core software.
    As an avid fan of adobe software […and a Fireworks freak] working in a design house that has many different employees with widespread software tastes – I eventually said ‘enough is enough’ after the umpteenth crash [as of 3 weeks ago] and have revisited the Rebel Alliance; ‘yes, CorelDraw’!  No I’m not going to go into some tirade about how much better Corel is etc. - as it has its own strengths and weaknesses, too […but without the hourly crashes] – so to be honest, we figure the time increase in some projects due to using Corel […time is diminishing with each project’s acquired experience] are negated by the downtime of Fireworks; so far, this is holding true.
    This may seem drastic, but it has been a long time coming – that is, implementing a move from our decade invested workflow to a ‘somewhat’ new schema, but due to the disappointing aforementioned, eventually principal / expenditure comparisons / sanity / lack of support all culminate to such, and if there’s no support for the competition, well – then there is ‘no’ competition; a luxury Adobe has taken for granted way too long.
    I truly hope Adobe turns around and fixes their ways, until then – we’ll be supporting those that do – and hopefully along the way, just maybe, with the added funds from disgruntled adobe x-pats – the software will far exceed what I used to love and adore […how I miss macromedia]; honestly, it would be near on impossible to argue which suite was better ‘either way’ – so it may not be such a distant future. Besides, with the market-door Adobe is opening due to such poor software, the new player sniffing around the edges will be welcomed by many with open arms; I know my/our allegiance will go straight to the company with the greatest software stability and sound support, whomever that maybe.
    So here’s to hoping no more, and actually doing! Very sad...

    I am also getting this error message. It happens randomly. Adobe help told me to close and reopen FW and then it stopped happening.  Does this sound like a good solution to anyone?

  • "Not enough memory available" error message when accessing Shopping Cart

    Can someone please help, as iTunes and Apple support can offer none at all. When I try to purchase songs or albums, or subscribe to podcasts, I get an error message that reads: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. There is not enough memory available. There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later."
    This has been going on for days. I've switched to 1-click shopping, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, turned the machine on and off, and still get nothing. There is plenty of hard drive space, and have tons of free RAM.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I just noticed all three of us have a Dell computer....did either of you recently update your BIOS? I did and just after is when I noticed the problem with iTunes that we're all having. I realize it could be just coincidence, but I can't think of anything else that changed that may have caused this problem. I was considering reverting to the old BIOS, but have done some research (mainly on forums) and don't see any mention elsewhere of this, although alot of people mentioned going back to the old BIOS for other reasons. If I can't find anything else in a day or two, I'm going to uninstall and re-install itunes. I'll report back if this helps or does nothing.
    thanks,

  • Can not DL (purchase) song - not enough memory iTunes error

    I was trying to purchase a song and itunes told me it couldn't complete the download because there is not enough memory available. It also says it's an iTunes error.
    I have not completed the most recent upgrade.
    I read somewhere else that I may need to uninstall and reinstall itunes but I'm afraid to lose my library.
    help please

    Guys .... here's a possible solution = clear the SSL Cache in Internet Explorer. Worked for me - albeit I'm on XP. The same 'fix' also worked when I (and zillions more) couldn't access the Store many months back
    I can't see how trying this could cause any harm - and it might fix you
    It's done in a flash ........
    1 Click Start > Control Panel.
    2 Double-click Internet Options.
    If you do not see the Internet Options icon, in the left side of the window, first click Switch to Classic View.
    3 On the Content tab, click Clear SSL State.
    4 Click OK, when you get the SSL Cache Cleared Successfully message.
    5 In the Internet Options window, click OK.
    Lemme me know if it clears at the Store, for you

  • Cannot purchase in iTunes store: There is not enough memory available/error

    I really need answers as to why it is not working- and someone must know by now?

    It seems the iTunes Store is rejecting purchases from iTunes 7.x.
    People have reported resolving the issue by updating to the latest version of iTunes. However that is not possible with the OS 10.3.9 I must retain for work purposes.

  • "Not Enough Memory" Error when programming Keithley 2400 using LabView 6i

    I'm trying to use LabView 6i drivers to control a keithley 2400 via GPIB interface. Most of the drivers work fine but the high level operations such as a the sweep functions or even functions that perform a single measurement gives a "Not enough memory" driver error. What doesn't have enough memory? A single measurement can't overload the PC's or Keithley's memory buffer so why am I getting the error?
    Thanks for any help you can offer...
    Evan

    Evan,
    That's not a LabVIEW, GPIB, or NI-VISA error code - that error is generated by the instrument driver. I went ahead and downloaded this driver from keithley.com to take a look at this Perform DC VI.vi function's source. But unfortunately, the heart of the Perform DC VI function is a "Call Library Node" call to a keithley DLL, so that is a black box. Also, no c-source included that I could find, so I could not look at that either. And since I don't have a Keithley 2400 to play with, that brings me to the end of the rope on my system.
    A couple of more things you could try, however, since you actually have the instrument.
    (1) Definately build a simple VI to eliminate other aspects of your program. In this case, the most simple
    VI would be an Init, Perform DC VI.vi, and then a close. Make sure this simple program reproduces the error. If it doesn't, then the problem is likely introduced in your code, not the driver.
    (2) If #1 reproduces the problem, then check that you have all the driver pre-requisites correct (ie, that NI-VISA is installed, that the GPIB board is working properly, etc).
    (3) If #1 and #2 do not result in any discoveries, then you will have to enter the black box of that DLL. Primary method to do that, to be honest, is to contact Keithley and ask for help, since they developed the driver. Second method is to use our NI-SPY utility, which can capture all calls to VISA drivers, (since this is a VXIpnp driver, it should be fundamentally using VISA within the DLL). Within NI-SPY, you will be able to see the individual function calls, and which ones are returning errors. That may help point in the right direction.

  • "There was not enough memory." Possible solution....!

    Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit.
    Just got this tip from a DELL technician and tried it on a folder of 20 x 220Mb Hasselblad TIFFs and it worked. i.e. I didn't get the dreaded "There was not enough memory." error appearing after a few files. (I'm Vista, but it may work with XP too.)
    1. Open Bridge.
    2. Ctrl/Alt/Delete to start the Task Manager.
    3. Click the Processes tab. Bridge should be highlighted in the list. Right click on it.
    4. Choose Set Priority.
    5. The dot should be next to 'Normal' on the list. Try setting it to Realtime. If it says it can't, it will probably set it to High. If it doesn't set it to High anyway.
    6. Click OK.
    The only drawback is that you will have to do this every time you open Bridge (it reverts to Normal as soon as you close the program) but the setting remains in place for the entire time the program is open.

  • I am getting an error message when i try to export "Not enough memory" what do it do?

    I am getting an error message when i try to export "Not enough memory" what do it do?

    Your 400GB is not what I was speaking of. I was not speaking of disk space. I was speaking of memory.
    The memory in your computer needs to be 8GB or more, and you must have a 64 bit operating system (which can still happen even if your computer is less than 12 months old). What operating system do you have? Is it 32bits or 64bits?

  • Error of "Not enough memory for operation" when exporting Crystal Report

    Hi,
    I am getting errors in Business Objects when I try to export a report from its native Crystal format to PDF (or Word).  This is only happening in one of our many reports.
    When I try to export within the Business Objects viewer (in Crystal format), then click the "Export this report" button, and select "Adobe Acrobat (PDF) as the File Format, click OK, I get the following error:
    CrystalReportViewer
    handleCrystalEvent failed 
    WebReporting.dll error '80004005'
    Not enough memory for operation.
    /InformationCentral/Viewers/crystal_viewer.asp, line 39
    This also occurs if I try to export to PDF within the Crystal Report designer as well, but the error is a bit different:
    "Failed to export report" then "Memory Full".
    Strange one this is....

    Hi Peter,
    Could you try to minimize the records in the report by giving some additional conditions?  May be like give the date range or select for few regions etc?
    Try in such a way so that your report downloads less number of records.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,

  • Export several Fuji X-Trans Files got "Not Enough Memory" Error

    When I tried to export several (say 15) Fuji X-Trans files at the same time, I got a "Not Enough Memory" Error. This problem only occurred after after upgrading to Lightroom 4.4. I can now only export a few (3-5) X-Trans files at the same time. Does anyone encounter this problem and know how to fix it?
    I am using Windows 7 32-bit with 4GB memory, SSD System drive, and Radeon 7700 Graphics card. For Virtual memory, I set "no paging file" on C drive and "system managed size" on another SSD drive.
    Thanks in advance.
    Wilson

    One might expect an Export function is single-threaded so the number of files exported wouldn’t matter, but perhaps if you are very close to the limit, memory fragmentation comes into play, where LR is requiring contiguous blocks and there aren’t any big enough.  It’s probably time to upgrade to a 64-bit Windows system and start getting used to the Metro interface which isn’t bad as long as your frequently-used programs have tiles on the first screen.
    Go to Help / System Info… and see how much memory LR has available.  On my 32-bit system with 4GB of RAM installed LR only has 716.8MB available which is typical for 32-bit Windows applications:
    Built-in memory: 3327.0 MB
    Real memory available to Lightroom: 716.8 MB
    Real memory used by Lightroom: 160.5 MB (22.3%)
    Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 160.8 MB
    Memory cache size: 33.2 MB
    You could change your VM settings to allocate a multi-gigabyte minimum pagefile size to see if it makes any difference, in case LR is waiting on the VMM to allocate more and then gives up, but I’d expect LR is requiring actual RAM for processing images, not VM which is much , much slower.

  • Not enough memory error when attempting export

    Whenever I try exporting an 111Mb freehand file to a

    Export and Import filters in FreeHand are not very good and
    exporting large document as bitmap just can't be done. If you use
    raster effects with high resolution export fails sooner or later or
    at least takes even days.
    To create a bitmap image I usually make pdf with Acrobat (the
    only reliable way) and open it in Photoshop where you can define
    dimensions, color space, etc. Photoshop opens some FreeHand created
    eps and ai files too. Also Acrobat can export bitmap files.

  • Any fixes for LR5 export error message 'Not enough memory'?

    I have plenty of hard disk space, and the files being exported are only 10MB each. I'm exporting from PEF raw files to jpg's.  Closing and restarting LR5 fixes the issue after two or three goes, but it's getting annoying.  Anyone know of this issue?

    Don't be tempted to just upgrade your RAM, as Windows 7 32 Bit is unable to utilize more than the 4 GB you already have installed.  If costs are an issue upgrade your OS to Windows 7 (or higher) 64 bit first, then upgrade to 8GB of RAM if/when required.
    I have Lightroom 5.4 installed on two Windows 7 64 bit desktops, one with 4GB of RAM installed and the other with 8GB.  I have never experienced a 'not enough memory' error with either, although performance is significantly better on the 8GB system.
