Mac air os x 10.9 out of application memory
I have a 2013 Mac Air (4/128), upgraded to Mavericks a couple of weeks ago. Over the past 3 days I've experienced a number of "Out of Application Memory" messages inviting me to quit running apps. After a couple of minutes the system locks up and requires a reset. I've read of a number of potential causes, though those are all noted as 'possible'. I put dropbox on the system a few days ago, and I've already turned it off - after which I rebooted followed about 30 minutes later by "Out of Application Memory".
Any ideas on this?

New information: Following a tip from another thread, I disabled iCloud Contacts sync, rebooted and this has helped. It's not clear that the addressbooksourcesync process was the entire issue, but this system now seems to be stable.

Since I installed Mavericks, the system says it run out of applications memory
I only have opened Finder (no any other app) but my Mac says "the system has run out of application memory". I don't know what the problem is.
I have a Late-2011 Macbook Pro with 8 GB of RAM. When I enter to "Activity Monitor" I can see that a process called "mds" use a lot of GB of RAM and 100% of my CPU and also kernel_task uses like 5 to 6 GB of my 8 GB of RAM. I reinstalled the OS and still have the problem.
If someone can help me, I will be very grateful.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.I have a brand new MacBook Pro. I downloaded Mavericks, and I'm moving my information from my old MacBook Pro via Carbonite to my 2 day old MacBook Pro.. Carbonite tells me to continue to use my system...When I open Safari after a short period of time I get the Out of application memory dialog box. I also use a Brand New IMac which is not having any problems but am I not using Carbonite until I figure out what the problem is. So I went to the Activity Monitor and I see Safari using 8.5 GB of memory. What do I need to do to fix this problem of Out of application memory. As soon as I "Quit Process" for safari in the Activity Monitor everything drops back to normal...example kenel_task went to 1.1 GB. Note Mozella only uses 126 MB of memory. IS the Issue Safari or something else?

Audition CC and out of application memory issue (Mac osX 10.9.4)
Hi All,
I'm trying to do an "Automatic Speech Alignment" between two AC3 5.1 files (~170Mb and ~ 80Mb, ~59' each), and at 35% I'm running always out of application memory (and I cannot continue, even closing all applications and maintaining only Audition up and running).
My Macbook Pro Mid 2012 has 4+4 Gb RAM and a SSD disk.
I would like to know if I can use the disk with a sort of Disk Cache to help the process.
Any piece of advice will be appreciated.
Thank you very much
Andreayou are right, Bob,
in facts I’m trying with a simple rendered Stretch, no issues at all with
memory, we’ll see the results
Probably the ASA is a feature for some very specific and “small” topics

Yosemite update causes error 'run out of application memory'
Hi, i use a
Mid 2011, 13 inch MacBook Air with i7, 4gb ram and 66gb left on my storage (out of 256gb). Currently running OS X Yosemite 10.10, updated via Appstore 2 days ago.
Ever since the update, while carrying out usual task such as 'mail' and 'safari' concurrently, i get error message stating 'run out of application memory', the situation is even worse when i have to run excel and word at the same time.
Not sure if the new OS is taking up memory because my tasks are routine and i never had problem prior to the update.
Comments?
Cheers
DavidGreetings Everyone,
I use a mid 2011 iMac 27", 3.4 GHz, 16GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 with 457.08 GB free and a 4Tb Thunderbolt drive as my backup and media player total contents 1.2TB.
Since I installed Yosemite and its update 10.10 my iMac takes for ever to boot up and everything has slowed to a snails pace and now I am getting this annoying "You Have Run Out of Application Memory" and you must force quit all of these application. Luckily I now have a back up for what I am working on and don't lose most of my work on projects having to force quit all of the applications that I happen to have open.
I have been using a Mac since it was a small rectangular box with a B&W CRT and I have never encountered a problem like this before with a new OS release.
This reminds me of the days when we used to go to lunch waiting for our mac's to render a project and hope it didn't crash and now its when I boot up a screaming hot machine and do my work on it.
Is there anything I can do or is this a "your stuck with it until an update fixes this or these bugs".
Comments?
Cheers,

Mavericks Mail Kernel System Has Run Out of Application Memory
I have a new Mavericks late 2013 MBP. When I got the computer, I used Migration Assistant to transfer everything from my late 2008 MacBook to the new MBP. Now when I launch Mail, my memory use skyrockets and within a minute or so, I get a "run out of application memory" error message. Soon after the computer stops working until I reboot. Activity Monitor shows Memory Pressure at its redline max, Virtual Memory at about 70 GB, Swap Used 20 GB, Compressed 10 MB. The processes using all the memory are kernel-task 10 GB and mds_stores 5 GB. However, Spotlight is fully indexed and mds is inactive until I launch Mail.
Interestingly, it happens even if I quit Mail immediately after launching it - the Mail window doesn't even need to open; the memory ust still climbs. But it only happens with Mail; all other applications work fine. Also, it does not happen if I boot in Safe Mode or if I log in using a different user account.
I have spend many hours on the phone with the Apple tech guys, they sent log files to Apple engineering, and none can figure this out. Their solution is to work around by creating a new user and transfer files over - not an elegant solution...
I ran the diagnostic suggested by Link Davis; results copied below. I also ran the Etresoft diagnostic both before and after launching Mail. Results also copied below.
I am guessing that a 3rd party application in my user area causes Spotlight to loose control, when Mail is launched, perhaps trying to index 10,000 emails, but I really have no idea!
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

0 B Page-outsHave you looked into Activity Monitor utility to see what system resources exist and how they are being allocated to applications, the OS X, and other background functions?
You could boot in SafeBoot (shift key held through startup) and run Disk Utility> repair disk permissions. That can tell you a few things about your hard disk drive, capacities, and it may not hurt to repair disk permissions. Restart normally when done.
Or try & boot from the Install DVD and use the version of Disk Utility in there to attempt to 'repair disk' while the HDD is unmounted. Then choose Startup manager to boot from the HDD and ignore the DVD on a restart.
Is your computer as listed, a PowerPC (pre-intel architecture)
Apple product, with a G4/G5 CPU from before 2006? If so,
a host could move the discussion from this Intel area.
Without more information, a failure of traction results from speculation.
Is your computer still running OS X 10.5.3, or is that 10.5.8+ now?
Good luck & happy computing!

'Your system has run out of application memory'?!
I've seen many users experiencing this same problem throughout the community, but none of the fixes have given me a permanent solution. Details of the machine are below, as well as what happens when the problem hits/triggers.
MBP Retina running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 (occurred in previous versions as well, thought the latest update would help but it didn't)
15-Inches Mid 2014 with 16 GB of Ram
Been using this Mac for good 6 months now, and one fine day of normal usage the whole system seems really laggy and slow and all of a sudden i'm unable to access anything and barely move my mouse. Then, a window pops out, telling me "Your system has run out of application memory", gracefully showing me that I have to force quit all my programmes for me to just stare at my desktop in utter disappointment.
I've been using Yosemite for awhile now (updated few days since the release) and haven't encountered any major issues, this being the first. Reading through many threads many have said that the problem lies with opening the Mail app, yet I haven't touched that app in months. I've also tried resetting the PRAM on my machine when it happens and the problem comes back again after several minutes of normal usage (iTunes, App Store). Checking the memory usage with the Memory Clean app, it tells me I'm down to a measly '15.58 MB' of memory, and it justfluctuates at that until I give it a restart again. This can't keep happening - I can barely use the Mac for 10 minutes without having to restart it, only to be able to use it only again for another 10 minutes.
Opening Activity Monitor tells me that mds_stores is the main root of the problem, yet I can't seem to shut the process down. I've googled and many say that mds_stores is spotlight indexing, but taking up all 16 GB of ram? That shouldn't be the case. Is there a fix to this? Does Apple know of its existence?
Included some screenshots below:Step 1
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -F '$Time $Message' -k Sender mdworker -o -k Message Rne Norm -k Sender mds | tail | pbcopy
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.
If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.
Step 2
Enter the following command as in Step 1 and post the output:
mdutil -as 2>&- | pbcopy
You can then quit Terminal.
Step 3
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Terminal. In the Console window, look under the heading DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION on the left for crash reports related to Spotlight. If you don't see that heading, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. A Spotlight crash report has a name beginning in "mds" or "mdworker" and ending in ".crash". Select the most recent such report, if any, from the System and User subcategories and post the entire contents—the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post any other kind of diagnostic report, such as hang logs—they're very long and not helpful. -
New MacBook Pro Out of Application Memory
I just spent over $2,500 on a top-of-the-line 13" MacBook Pro, including 16 GB of memory, thinking it would solve my memory problems. So I wasn't thrilled when I got an "Out of Application Memory" error message today. I started shutting down programs, but the error message wouldn't go away. So I rebooted my computer and opened just a couple programs. It quickly froze, with the same error.
Can anyone give me some clues for fixing this problem? I installed a lot of software yesterday, mostly programs from Adobe's Creative Suite. However, when I look at Activity Monitor, the biggest memory hogs by far are Finder and kernel_task. What's kernel_task, and why is Finder such a memory hog? I was having problems with it earlier.
I've been perusing this thread...

I was able to see someone at the Genius Bar, though I didn't have an appointment. He examined my laptop and focused on something I actually noticed some time ago - when you open Finder, the folder "All My Files" is open by default. I discovered a few days ago, that that folder bogs things down for some reason, so I got in the habit of switching to a different folder.
Anyway, he said there's a file somewhere on my computer that's causing problems; it eats up memory. So he deleted All My Files from the Finder choices so I'll no longer access that file...unless I happen to stumble over the folder it's in.
As I find time, I'll try and track the offending file down. -
Been troubleshooting an iMac 27" Mid 2011 for friends with a design studio. The machine was running out of application memory in seconds despite having 12 GB ram and lots of free disk space. I've seen reports of similar problems with Mavericks setups. I have been an Apple dev since 1987 and have seen a lot, but this is the worst I've seen. I have been able to calm it down a little, but it is still not 100%. The machine in question qualified for a new logic board and video card update which was duly installed by Apple certified techs. It has spent hours running diagnostic checks. At one stage it refused to turn on, took it back to the repair shop. They plugged it in and it worked and more diagnostics revealed nothing untoward. So ok back to me.
Trying to work with machines in this state is difficult and I thought I'd share the steps I took to try to improve the situation.
Obviously normal Apple Diagnostic tests were not revealing the cause of the behaviour.
I searched for others with similar issues, and looked at the advice. BTW I found Linc Davis to be contributing his usual thoughtful experience to this and would recommend reading his take on this and other issues.
This behaviour reminded me of fixing virus infested machines. To keep the machine alive long enough to add Anti Virus software I set Terminal to start at login. Then I was able to run Top and observe the insane processes in real time. [Activity Monitor was a no go at this point] By killing the stuck processes it gave me enough time to download install Sophos, and work on the iMac. Sophos found some virus infected email attachments and dealt with them.
Backed up the machine
Reset the SMC
Reset the parameter ram
Started up from Mavericks Recovery DIsk and from there used Disk Utility to repair permissions and check the disc.
The machine was running Mavericks 10.9.2 and decided to reinstall Mavericks. You can go back to 10.9. I had previously saved Mountain Lion and Mavericks installs on an external drive. You can install over the net - but a much longer process and not for flaky machines. Amazingly the iMac was stable throughout the Mavericks reinstall and it was successful.
It's early days but the iMac is much better. The designers mostly use Photoshop, Illustrator, Apple Mail and Safari. They work with large images for print and need fast solid machines. Interestingly as a side note, the machine was solid for a few hours and I tried to fire up Photoshop to give it a real test. Photoshop needed to install a java runtime to function? Ok installed java runtime. Opened Photoshop. Worked for a little then Crash. Grey screen of death.
One step forward two steps back. Time to let the designers have a go again.They can make it crash good. Would recommend new MacPro's for them but Adobe hasn't got its act together to take advantage of the power available, so staying with iMacs for now.

Running out of application memory - AVCHD MultiCam edit
I need help badly.
I'm editing a MultiCam sequence, consisting of (3) AVCHD video tracks. I'm getting a constant error message: "Your system has run out of application memory", then pauses, or is not responsive.
Basic setup:
Premiere Pro CC 2014
iMac (mid 2011)
OSX 10.9.4
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB ram
(Don't have an approved graphics card for Mercury Playback Engine)
Video and Audio files are on (2) FireWire 400 drives, striped for Raid 0. Set this up in Disk Drive Utility on the iMac.
My remedies so far:
Shut down other programs.
Switched Optimized Rendering from 'Performance' to 'Memory'.
Moved the Video and Audio Preview folders away from the project drive, to my Documents folder on main drive.
Cleaned out the Media Cache in Premiere.
This is the first time I've edited AVCHD files in a multi cam sequence. I'm not sure where the bottleneck is.
Appreciate any help.
Doug PalmerI would suspect it is a drive access problem. First drives on Firewire 400 and even in RAID 0 probably are not very high throughput and even then when you put those files on your main hard drive it is bogged down with all sorts of other traffic. Take a look at the chart on our PC-centric PPBM7 website called:
"Typical Sustained Transfer Rates depending on the Disk Interface"
Here you can see that your Firewire 400 drives are typically 30-40 MB/sec and that even if you get slightly better transfer rates from the RAID is probably not enough for three AVCHD streams. I am editing three AVCHD streams (not multicam) off an USB 3 device but it's read rate is >180 MB/second, see below.
Unfortunately you do not have a USB 3 interface on a 2011 computer. Not being familiar with MAC's, I cannot suggest a solution for you.
I am assuming that a single AVCHD clip you probably do not have any problems. -
System out of application memory
As soon as i upgraded to Adobe Premiere 2014, I can no longer export ProRes movies longer than a minute without the system crashing. Error message is "system out of application memory." I have a Mac Pro 6. I
1. Reinstalled Mac os
2. Reinstalled Premiere
3. upgraded to Boris 9
Nothing seems to work. I have 16 gigs of memory and have ordered a 64 gig setup but if there is a bug in the system, that won't work either.
Surely, someone knows what i going on here?Hi Peter,
What kind of media are you using?
What kind of media drive?
How is your media drive connected?
What happens if you remove third party plug-ins?
Thanks,

Imac keeps saying out of application memory.
This is truely a nucense, my imac keeps telling me it is out of application memory. I have a new 21.5 imac, i7, 8gb ram, fusion drive. Recently when havin gmore than one application open it has started to tell me that i am out of memory. Right now i was on facetime, had safari open and was surfing on one monitor while facetime was fullscreen on the other. It told me i was out of application memory. How is that even possible with two things open? I remember seeing someting about this being a problem with mavericks, I wanted ot report this to show that i am getting this also. I was wondering if anyone had any idea on a fix for this?
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Out of Application Memory Error when Importing Library as Project
I have for years followed a practice of consolidating discrete event libraries (I create a new event-specific library for each event I shoot) into my main library at home.
Recently, though, I have been unable to import libraries as projects. The process begins, but ultimately grinds to a halt as I get an Out of Application Memory Error, invoking the Force Quit panel and telling me to quit some of my open programs in order to free memory to run the various open applications. (Aperture, of course, is "not responding").
In Activity Monitor, a process called kernal_task, is the culprit, taking up nearly 10 GB of my 16 GB memory; Aperture is second, using 1 to 2 GB in memory.
When I force quit Aperture, kernal-task quickly dissipates, eliminating all of the memory pressure.
I have no idea how to even begin addressing this.
I have the most recent version of Mavericks and Aperture running on an older 8-core Mac Pro.
Thanks for any insights or suggestions.
GordonThere is about 2TB of free space on the drive with the destination library.
And how much free disk space is on your System drive?
If repairing the libraries does not help, check your system for software, that might be leaking memory, probably incompatible plug-ins or older applications, preference panes, drivers that need updating,
If you find evidence of a precess leaking memory, ask in the Mavericks forum.
See this post by Linc Davis for how to check for memory leaks:

Keep getting the 'system has run out of application memory' window, what to do?
I'm running a mid 2010 MacBook with 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and OS X 10.9.5. Every time I'm on Safari I get the 'System has run out of application memory' window and it asks you to quit out of programs you're not using. The problem is sometimes the only things running are Safari and Finder. It'll then freeze up programs and prevent web pages from loading or showing up. I'm not quite sure what this means or how to go about fixing it. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi Meghan,
If you are seeing that alert that you are running out of application memory then I would take a look at using Activity Monitor to see how the memory is being used. If it looks normal usage to you, then you may want to upgrade the memory on your Mac. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Startup disk is running out of application memory?
My new 27" iMac frequently brings up this warning "Startup disk is running out of application memory" It just about locks up the computer as RAM is completely spent. I always need to restart manually. I assume this is a memory leak/hog problem. The activity monitor shows no applications that show any overusage. I do find that the Page Outs = 26 GB and Swap Used is 59GB. Is this causing the problem? How can I locate the problem and fix it? Thanks!
This is a reply to another post I have seen. This is the report from the Terminal.
