Memory Error on Card

I have a HP D110a printer and since recently it has been displaying memory card error on the screen. I posted a message on this site and was advise to shut down the printer and unpull for 30 minutes, then pull into a different outlet. Same was done, and memory card error still appeared.  I followed additional instructions and then the printer was set to default.  Now that the printer is set to default setting, memory card error still appears and the printer is disconnected from all computers the printer was connected with. I cannot reinstall the printer because  when the option pops up for me to make the necessary selections on the printer MEMORY CARD ERROR appears.
I need urgent assistance regarding this matter.

  • Photoshop CS6 has out of memory errors under Mac OS X 10.7.4

    Has anyone who has a 2008 MacBoo Pro with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 512 MB graphics card tried running Photoshop CS6 under Mac OS X 10.7.4?
    On my MacBook Pro, PS CS6 launches; however, any action results in an out of memory error.  The CS6 versions of After Effects, Premiere Pro and Illustrator all launch and run as expected under 10.7.4.
    If I switch to my Mac OS X 10.6.8 startup volume, Photoshop CS6 runs as expected.
    I have support cases open with Adobe, NVidia and Apple.  Adobe thinks I need to update the display drivers.  NVidia says display drivers must be provided by Apple.  Apple says that the display drivers are current.  The Apple support agent said that he can escalate the case if the issue can be reproduced on more than one computer.
    I'd love to keep my MacBook Pro running another year or so without having to reboot in 10.6.8 every time I need to use Photoshop.  I'd stay with 10.6.8, but of course iCloud requires 10.7.4.
    I have not tried 10.8 yet, but it's on my troubleshooting list.
    Also, PS CS6 runs fine under Mac OS X 10.7.4 on my 2010 iMac.
    Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    It looks like it was indeed the display driver for the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB graphics card inside my 2008 MacBook Pro.
    It seems that this driver only gets installed if you upgrade from Mac OS X 10.6.7 to 10.7.4 while the startup drive is connected to the MacBook Pro itself.  I had updated while the startup drive was connected to my 2010 iMac. Accordingly, I could have reinstalled Photoshop 100 times without it ever launching as expected.  Having used the external startup drive with three other Apple computers (all 2010 or newer machines) with Photoshop CS6 launching as expected, I had just assumed (mistakenly) that it would work as expected with my 2008 computer.
    So, this was simple enough to resolve by upgrading the OS on the external startup drive while having it connected to the MacBook Pro.   In hindsight, this makes perfect sense.

  • E71 keeps giving out of memory error; I can't find...

    My Nokia E71 (it's black so it may be an E71x, I guess) keeps giving me out of memory errors. I use my phone for nothing but voice calls, text messages, and emails. I have cleared all call logs, deleted all emails except 5 (they have no attachments) and cleared deleted emails, and deleted all text messages. I went into file manager and made sure there are no images, videos, etc. on the phone. I set up options to use memory card for emails. I've turned the phone off, waited 15 or 20 seconds, and turned it back on.
    I did all this a couple weeks ago. Ever since then. every couple days I get these out of memory errors, and the phone memory shows me 119 MB used and something like 300K free. I'm at the point where every few emails that come in, I have to delete all emails, erase all text messages, etc. or the phone is just too low on memory to operate.
    What else can I try? I don't have any additional applications installed. I've even tried to delete built-in apps such as RealPlayer but it didn't seem like that was possible.
    This is getting really annoying. Please help!

    @EricHarmon
    Although all user data would be deleted, have you tried resetting device to "Out of box" state by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by user)?
    Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

  • Memory errors after 3 hours recording

    I need to record data on 36 channels over a period of three days.  I would like the data in 30 second chunks.  I am haing two problems with this.  I have sest up my log files to record in 30 second chunks but after 3-4 hours of recording I start getting memory errors.  It doens't matter whether I am recording 30 seconds every 5 minutes or continuous data in 30 second chunks.  Also, it doesn't seem to matter whether I store the data on a relatively small (13 GB) internal solid state hard drive or a much larger (2 TB) external hard drive.  Is there some kind of memory buildup that is overflowing after 3 hours?
    As a related question, when I am logging to the external hard drive the recording status in the recording options tab still shows the disk information for my internal hard drive. 
    Also, if I'm allowed another question, I am trying to use a Save to ASCII funtion to produce a backup to a different location.  Is there any way I can alter the file size to make them larger than the amount of data to be read in?

    Hello Roger,
    Quick question, what sampling rate you are using on what card? Also what is your start and stop condition in SE. Did you try continuous logging? Also does your system slows down after a while logging data? Not quiet sure on why this is happening?I believe RAM or harddisk is full after 3 hrs of data logging.

  • Out of Memory error on some PDF's, not all PDF's.

    Hi there,
    I have read most of the posts in the forums that relate to 'Out of Memory' issues with PDF's and I have to say that there is still no solution that I have found.
    I have tried reinstalling Adobe Reader, Flash Player and tried clearing my Temp Files. None of these fixed the issue.
    The PDF's that receive this memory error are downloaded off a CMS website that has many offices and logins. Only one office is experiencing this out of memory issue so we know that it is not an issue with generating the PDF's on the CMS website, otherwise all the offices and logins would have this issue, since they use the same system.
    I am an admin of that CMS website and even I receive the same out of memory issue when I try and view the PDF's from that office, as the customer does.
    When we open these PDF's with another PDF reading program, the PDF's open fine. So that tells me that the issue lies with Adobe Reader and not the PDF file itself.
    These PDF files that are receiving the error about 1MB-4MB, so they are not large.
    Could you please tell me the solution to this out of memory error as we may lose a customer because your product is producing an error that does not seem to have been fixed after years of being reported by your customers.
    Thanks.

    As an Adobe Reader XI user, if I may put my two cents in, that "Out of Memory" problem is not with the Adobe Reader XI application, which was installed on our computers! I think, the problem is with how the PDF documents, which we were trying to open, were generated (or regenerated).
    I remember I was able to open my old credit card statement online without any problem and now I am not able to open the same old statement (out of memory) because it could have been regenerated! In fact, I could not open any of my credit card statements (old or new) on this specific credit card web site, which makes me believe those statments were regenerated or somthing with some new Adobe software.
    As others mentioned, even I'm able to view other PDF documents without any problem.

  • Out of Memory error end erratic behavior

    Brief description of the issue: while importing images at their current location, some of them would show in grid view with an exclamation mark, and LR would not allow me to adjust them. Removing and importing the same set of images again, the subset of troubled images changed. At some stage, trying to develop one of the images, I got an "Out of Memory" written in red in the center pane. PS CS opens the same images without any problem, and Windows Task Manager indicates there is plenty of available physical and virtual memory.
    Here what I did in detail.
    While I was importing images at their current location into the library from DVDs, I started to see en exclamation mark in the upper right corner of several images in the grid view. When I selected any of those images and hit "D" to develop them, I got "An unknown error occurred" in the Develop module, and LR would not allow me to do any adjustment.
    I have tried removing the images from the Library and importing them again, and then some of the troubled images were not the same as before, and LR would allow me to develop some of the previously troubled images.
    PS CS File Browser shows them all correctly, and also PS can open any of the images without any issue.
    I have copied some of the troubled images to my hard disk, and then tried to import them into LR from there. The same image sometimes worked, sometimes didn't. Finally, when trying to develop one of those, I got an "Out of Memory" error message printed in red and upside down in the middle of the picture.
    Windows Task Manager was reporting 833824 KB of Available Physical Memory out of 2095536 KB, and was reporting as Commit Charge: Total 1281084 KB, Limit 5080272 KB, Peak 1707720 KB.
    Any idea what is going on? It looks to me like instability after I imported a few hundred pictures in a row.

    You are ABSOLUTELY right that I had explorer windows open when I got the export failed messages!!!! I do all my printing at costco, so I have Lr export my final pics to a 'jpeg finals' directory, and then individual sub-directories for each folder they came from, and then manually copy from each of these sub directories to the root directory on my CF card for transport to Costco.
    Will see if it happens in the future without that window open. Still wouldnt help the upside down OOM messages, tho thanks for the update that the team is working on it.
    These two issues and the UI lag are really all that I can ***** about too much, which is pretty amazing given my beta frustrations. I still wish I wasnt locked to the DB. I still cannot in good conscience recommend Lr to most new DSLR users. But for my own use I'm pretty happy. I wish I could get better highlight and shadow recovery like I got in RSP but I'm sure that is user error and n00bishness more than a failure of the app. I'm also not happy that I can't toggle the crop tool to the way I want to work permanently but I guess that ship has sailed too.

  • NI Pal Service Manager memory error on pc startup

    Hello,
    I have two XP-pc's with NI-488.2 (ver. 2.30) and MAX (ver. 4.0.0.3010) installed.
    Both pc's give on startup an nipalsm.exe memory error (see attachment).
    When starting MAX, (if no error) no installed hardware is shown.
    On both pc's also McAfee Virusscan 8.00 is running.
    What does nipalsm.exe (internal) that can cause this error ?
    With thanks,
           best regards,

    Hi,
    I have some suggestions for you:
    Try the latest driver, version 2.4:
    http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/websearch/1DDE5C​48F30C2C658625702000681295?opendocument&node=13206​0_US
    ---> Don't install the new driver over the other one. First remove the old one.
    Are you testing the same GPIB card in both PCs? If yes, does the error occur without any cards plugged-in?
    Try a Repair of MAX in Add/Remove programs
    Make sure that you install first the driver without the card plugged-in.
    Check if no firewall is blocking the nipalsm.exe. Maybe you can check if the error occurs when you have no McAfee software installed. (I don't think that the problem is caused by the MCAfee soft but I haven't tested it yet with the latest version)
    Regards.

  • Random memory errors and resetting

    Hello folks
    I've got a KT4V motherboard and an Athatlon 1800 XP. The problem is that I keep getting occasional memory errors or the machine will just reset. (';(')
    The problems don't occur with any perticular  program or after any perticualr period of time. It can be running all day on full load and then pop, it resets or gives me a memory error
    My system temperature under full load is 45 C. With the system temperature around 30 C. So it's not an overheating problem.  I've reinstalled win2k twice with no effect. I've installed the registry patch from the AMD website for systems using XP processors and AGP cards. My powerpack is 350W but it says pentium 4 ready so I guess it should work with my systms power requirements. I Have a heatsink for XP 2000+ and above as well as two extractor fans on the case. But they don't add much load.
    Any Ideas

    Hello
    My specs
    MSI KT4V
    AMD 1800+
    Dlink DE 528 PCI (cable modem)
    Maxtor 10GB HD (don't know model off top of my head)
    ASUS V8170 Magic GeForce 4
    I've reinstalled windows for the nth time and this time I've taken APIC off in the bios. (That's not the power management thing)
    So far it hasn't reset. Although given the nature of the problem It'll be a couple of days testing before I can be absolutly sure.
    As for the powerpack. It gives a combined rating on the side and it's 200W for the 5 and 3.3V rails.

  • Insuficient Memory errors

    We bought two of the Elipsis7 tablets and generally love them.
    However, we are getting insufficient memory errors every day which is ridiculous.
    Without some correction to this defective configuration the tablet is nearly worthless. We install few apps and even run out of space trying to update the Verizon bundled apps.
    Yes, we have already moved everything possible to the 'tablet space'. adding a SD card was of NO USE of course because of the poor configuration.
    So, When and, How is this going to be corrected?
    We paid good money for these and continue to pay for service and the devices are at best marginally functional...

    Yes, I realize this.
    But, I am hoping that if enough of us complain Maybe, Hopefully, someone at Verizon will actually listen and get the point.
    This is a monthly rental paper weight and that is pitiful.
    The whole point was the small size and integrated 4g. As it stands I am left dragging around one of my 10 inch Asus or, Samsung tablets with my MiFi.
    This one was nice because it fit in my coat pocket or, lunch cooler etc.. and had the 4g.
    VERIZON - Is anyone listening or, reading?! ! ! ! ???

  • Photoshop out of memory error

    Hi, I am running in a mixed enviroment with Open Directory master for authentication on a Snow Leopard OS 10.68 server, with both Lion and Snow Leopard client machines. My Users, due to Adobe products crashing with none mobile accounts, are using external hard drives formatted OS Extended (Journaled) with their mobile account setup on that Hard Drive. This year it has been touch and go on login issues but working throught that. My problem is when a user uses a Lion machine 10.7.4 and Photoshop extended and then moves to our study lab which has Snow Leopard, photoshop workspaces are corrupted and they cannot open any photo's or settings, they get an "Out of memory" error. However when they go back to the Lion machine and after resetting their workspace they can use the software without issues. Anyone else hiving these issues? Ive tried chflags nohidden library in Snow Leopard to view settings, even deleted all photoshop settings in App data and preferences and still cannot access photoshop on SL machine.
    Thanks

    Thanks Kurt for the reply. I'll give more info. All machines have latest updates for both CS6 and current version of OS either 10.6.8 or 10.7.4.
    The only thing on the external hard drive is the user's home folder and their Data, I have to have permissions enabled so their home preferences and WGM settings work correctly. BTW all accounts have admin rights to machine, I have WGM settings preventing access to machine settings and can re-image if i get corrupted machines.
    PS is installed on each machine not the  External Hard Drive.
    All machines have the same Volume name for the internal boot drive, which is set as the PS scratch drive.
    I thought this issue was to do with the memory and may still be so.
    However when a clean profile is connected to our towers with Lion which has 12 gb ram and 1024 MB Video Memory, the settings are at 70% which is around 8 gb.
    When i take same clean profile to our other lab of iMacs which has 8 gb ram. and 512 mb video memory, PS adjusts the performance ram accordingly which is around 5.5 gb ram at 70%.
    I then take that same external drive to the problem iMac's (early 2009 and 2008) which has 4gb ram 256 video memory and is running Lion, PS adjust to 2.4 gb ram.
    Now i put that same drive on the same model, 2009 or 2008 iMac that has Snow Leopard running on it from same model Lion iMac,PS opens fine.
    However after moving from one of the other larger Lion machines and then back to this Snow Leopard machine, the profile gets corrupted, the workspace is corrupted and cannot reset it. Also I am unable to access any settings I get the "Could not complete the operation because there is not enough memory (RAM)" error.
    Now when I go back to a same model Lion machine with same minimum memory i get the same error, however when I go to a larger Lion machine all I get is Color profile cannot sync and the workspace is still corrupted and not showing but I can reset it.
    I then move the performance size to match that of the lower model’s 70%, I still get the error when I go back to the lower end Lion or Snow Leopard machine.
    I tried clearing PS preferences by opening with command+option+shift and delete PS preferences the issue is still there.
    I then remove all PS ~/Library/ settings for PS and it is still present.
    I had to re-create the profile all together to get this to work. As long as I don’t connect to a low end Snow Leopard machine things seem to be going well and PS readjust according to the machine, note, when I set the performance level to a low setting let's say 2.5 gb as on the early iMacs and plug into another machine, PS adjusts to the current machine' mamory availability and does not keep that lower setting setting.
    I have a copy of console error message below.

    I have 12 Snow Leopard machines that are early 2008 and 2009 imac and no way to up upgrading to Lion and I am not ready for Mountain Lion to go into production untill I can upgrade my OD masters to Mountain Lion.
    I suspect it's not the ram settings that are affected but the video ram is not adjusting from machine to machine, is it possible to upgrade the 2009 20" iMac video cards and get proper firmware support?
    any help is appreciated.

  • Photoshop keeps on getting out of memory error after installing Premier Pro

    I just upgrade my CS to CC. Yesterday I installed Photoshop and did my work without any problem but today after installing Premier and After Effect, I keep on getting out of memory error when I'm working even though I don't have any other application running accept photoshop alone. The file I'm working on is a small file, iphone plus size interface. Basically I can open the file, add blur effect and try to type text I will get photoshop telling me that my system is out of memory. Restarting photoshop give the same problem, restarting my computer give the same problem, ie do one thing and next will give memory not enough.
    I don't think my system is slow as it is workstation with dual processor and 12 gig of ram, windows 7 64bits 1gb dedicated memory for graphic card.
    I uninstall Premier and After Effect and suddenly the problem go away. Photoshop work as per normal. I didn't have the time to reinstall premier again but will try to do it tonight or tomorrow
    Anyone experience such problem before?

    When you get that error leaver the error showing and use something the can show you how much free disk space there is left on Photoshop scratch disk.  It may be a problem with scratch storage space not ram storage space.  I see Photoshop use much more scratch space the ram.  I have seen Photoshop using less than 10GB of ram on my machine leaving 30GB of free ram on my system unused while using over 100GB of scratch space.

  • Encore DVD 2.0 memory errors on large project

    Hello,
    I'm compiling a DVD for commercial distribution using Encore 2.0.
    It's a large project in that there are 4 x 3 minute video clips, 2000 timeline-arranged audio files, motion menus with audio and quite a lot of buttons.
    Encore is misbehaving quite badly - it has problems with audio clips that are not the standard (48000 hertz, 768 kbps bitrate, PCM audio) and the project does preview briefly before 'internal memory error 0x000002' comes up.
    The workstation is an AMD64 dual-core 3800, on a Gigabyte skt 939 board, with a Geforce 6600 graphics card and 2 Gb of DDR RAM. So no hardware problems, I think. And yes it is a SSE2 processor - it'd have to be to run Encore at all.
    I can't even build a DVD image due to the apparent size of the project. My client is certain that all of the audio timelines are necessary to the project, but I know that deleting them and cutting the size of the project down will cure the problems I'm having.
    I don't know if there is any obvious reason that Encore can't handle the project - Adobe Updater does not have any new updates for Encore so I assume that this is as good as I'm gonna get.
    Any similar experiences? Any ideas? Thanks in advance,

    You're right - some of the files are mono, and I have been batch processing them up to 48k stereo, thus doubling the bitrate.
    Originally the audio files were recorded in-camera during interviews. The audio of these interviews was chopped up and edited, and animation was produced to complement the selected sections of the audio interviews. Now we're putting the animation series (called Terra 2050) onto DVD and I'm in charge of the project. For the DVD extras, we wanted to include the full audio interviews.
    So I set up a basic DVD with Play All, Select Episode etc. Then I started to add a timeline for each person, dumped all of that person's interview onto the audio track, made a PSD of that person's name, so by choosing "Colin Pillinger" on the Interviewees menu, the DVD should jump to a timeline that plays a still saying "Colin Pillinger - Professor of Planetary Science" while Colin's interview plays over the top.
    The audio files are only half the problem, however.
    The structure is as follows:
    Top menu: Play All - Select Episode - Extras Menu
    Extras Menu: Behind the Scenes - Audio Interviews
    Audio Interviews: (a long list of buttons, with each person's name on each button, which links to that person's timeline)
    Each timeline contains; video track contains a PSD of that person's name; audio track contains several audio clips of that person's interview.
    So I do not have more than 99 timelines or 99 chapters in any one timeline. I think the project is too large to be cached in one go for Preview purposes, but I know it all works properly according to the Flowchart/Check Project windows.
    Should I just switch to Sonic Scenarist and stick my head in a DVD architecture manual for a month? Encore doesn't seem to handle 'large' (read professional quality) projects at all well.
    Thanks so much for your input - I really appreciate your help.

    Hi Patrick
    Sorry, looked again and see its SATA.  No jumper on SATA.
    You will not see a SATA in normal post screens, you have to enable it in bios, either Via or Promise, I prefer Via.  In Integrated peripherals, look at page 3- 20 of manual, there is an item SATA IDE, that is Via controller, enable that. Above it is PATA IDE, the IDE1 and 2 controller, enable that. Below it the floppy disk controller, enable it (not auto).  Then go up to Onboard PCI controller, click on it, then the P20378 SATA controller, the promise controller, disable it. Check the LAN and onboard sound the AC97 controller, is enabled if you use it. The 1394 controller, the firewire for digital cameras etc. Now go to the advanced bios features, the Boot Sequence, set it to floppy, CD, and Serial CH_0 (SATA 1 on via). Enable  Boot from other devices, and enable floppy seek, (floppy swap is disabled). Then exit and save.
    You can now out your XP CD in CD drive and boot, it will ask you to press key to boot from CD, the first blue setup screen, will ask you to press F^ to load drivers, then a couple of mins later it arrives at S screen, put Via floppy in drive A, press enter, this will give list of files, select BOTH XP drivers ( you need to load 1, then back to S screen repeat for 2nd driver, then enter to proceed, next the F* ' accept ' screen, then load windows setup, then it asks if you want to install to drive. partition, format and install.
    In the bios screens your HDD will show as Via device called Serial CH_0 or Serial CH_1 (SATA2), which appear after the other drive screens.  If the promise controller is enabled, but no drive attached to SER1 or 2, then you will see a message ' Bios not  installed'
    Any problems, there should be none, let me know.
    cheers

  • 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.

    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.

  • Out of Memory error, though nothing has changed?

    I have two large projects, 65mb each, which I have had open in FCP 7 with no problems for months.
    Then I left them closed for a month and worked on other projects.
    Now I can't open either of those two earlier projects without receiving the Out of Memory error (I'm trying to open each one individually). There are many things to look for when this error appears, as found all over this forum and others. So here is my checklist of facts:
    Neither project contains any PSD files or any sequences with text files in them.
    One of those projects contains no sequences whatsoever, only clips.
    All media for these projects is Apple AVC-Intra 100M 1280x720.
    The RAID drive containing the media for these projects has not been used since the last time the projects were open and working fine.
    The edit system has not changed in any way:
    - FCP 7.0.3
    - Mac Pro
    - OS 10.6.6
    - 2x2.66 Quad Core
    - 6 GB RAM
    - LaCie 8TB RAID, with 1.7TB free
    All RAM is functioning fine.
    I've trashed FCP preferences and received the same results anyway.
    Again, both projects were working fine on this same computer, same version of FCP, even with BOTH projects open at once.
    Also, I've been working with other projects on this same system with no problems, some nearly as large as these two.
    So... none of the obvious culprits are at work here to cause this error, unless I'm missing something.
    Anyone have any ideas? This is a bit scary, as these are documentary projects which are only going to get bigger, and I've done projects bigger than this several times without problems. Hopefully I'm missing something simple...
    Thanks.

    I think I found the culprit, and it's an obvious one:
    My original big project, 65mb, had a bin that was created by an assistant before I began work on the project and I never saw it. That bin has sequence strings for every tape/card loaded into the project, so it had about 65 rather long sequences. Once I found it, I moved that bin to its own project and deleted it from the original project.
    Now the original project opens, and I can open multiple projects at once, no Out of Memory error.
    So it's the bin full of sequences that did it. If I had seen that bin before I wouldn't have had to run this up the flagpole here. But at least it reinforces that word of advice that has appeared in many previous posts about this error: Don't overload a project with long sequences. Break up the sequences into smaller projects and archive them.
    And my own addition to that advice: If you're an assistant setting up a project for an editor, make sure your editor knows what sequences you've tucked away in bins hidden inside bins inside bins, etc.
    All good to go! (Until the next error... stand by...)
