Message "not enough memory on start up disc" on MacBook pro

My 2 year old MacBook displays a message "not enough memory on start up disk".

Even though Memory = RAM, some times you get this message if your Hard Drive is to full.
You need at least 10 -15% free space on the Hard drive to operate.

Error Message: Not enough memory for operation.

Hi All,
I'm having problem when try to connect to Oracle DB, check my details as below :
Connector : Microsoft ODBC for Oracle
Database Expert : Using Stored Procedure to populate data to excel.
Server Used: DBCCSWST125.reportjobserver
Error Message: Not enough memory for operation
Problem occurred when I tried to use stored procedure in my rpt file.
Thanks.

You are using multiple versions and it's still not clear what is happening but the CR 2008 reports should not be published to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2. CR 2008 has functionality that XI R3 does not support.
Create reports in CR XI R2 for BOE R2.
Also, your version of Enterprise has not been patched. You should have a Support contract which will allow you to get into our Gated site and update BOE. Then it may work but check with your administrators first before patching BOE.
Thank you

Error Message "Not Enough Memory to Open Illustrator"

Hi,
Im running adobe illustrator cs5 on windows 7 and have previously had no problems. Today however when I opened a pdf I got the error message "Not enough memory to open illustrator" I have searched and cannot find a reason for this error. It now happens nearly every time I open a pdf. I increased my windows 7 virtual memory, however, this does not seem to have any effect. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Something is blocking PDF handling (a security tool) on the system level and/or one of the shared Adobe components for PDF handling has been updated/ changed, most likely. Do the PDFs properly open in Acrobat/ Adobe Reader? Investigate these things. Also of course simply trash your AI prefs to make sure you are not a victim of tainted config data...

Error Message-Not enough Memory

All was fine with iTunes 7 update and one day (today) I come back to my computer and dock my iPod and iTunes will not start. Error message reads "not enough memory." I have a gig of ram and 13 gigs of free space on my hard drive. What gives? Has anyone had this issue? Tried restart and activity monitor says that ram is available. Nothing works. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I'm having the exact same thing, you figure this out yet? I still can't use it...

Installed os x 10.6.8 and office 2008 excel not enough memory on start

I just installed OS 10.6.8 and when I try to run Office 2008 Excel I get a "Not Enough Memory" pop-up and it will not open any files. Any ideas on how to resolve this? If not how do I revert back to original operation system?

How much RAM is installed in your computer? You need a minimum of 1 GB for Snow Leopard and at least 2 GBs or more for any practical uses.
To revert to your previous OS you need to boot from that installer disc and do an Erase and Instsll. Be sure to back up your files first because the procedure will erase the hard drive.

Lightroom 5.3 Error message: Not enough memory

I have just installed Lightroom 5.1 and downloaded the 5.3 updates. When I press Import I instantly get a message: An Internal Error has occurred, not enough memory. There is nothing in it as yet, it was just installed.

Sorry about that, early morning CA time and lack of coffee chagrin and annoyance at systems in general.
64 bit operating system
7.89 useable Gigs of RAM
There are perhaps 600-700 pictures installed on the computer in total, but I suspect the point is that the program does not even get around to asking where I wish to locate the photos but preemptively dismisses the suggestion out of hand.

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.

I keep getting error message "not enough space on startup disk" on my macbook 10.6, even though I've deleted and compressed many files. Could something else be the problem?

Somehow 1500 web pages were downloaded into my iphone app! That's when the trouble began Now, I keep gettig error message"not enough room on your start up disc. "So I deleted most of theml, but when I compress/delete files, it doesn't help. Now i'm unable to back up to a disc, because I get a similar message about lack of room.. I can't download apple updates or printer updates. My computer is almost unusable. When I took it to the Apple store they had no idea what was wrong.
I bought an external hard drive-Free Agent Go Flex which doesn't seen to function, and has no user interface and apparently little tech support. My cursor is all over the place. No one at Apple seems to be able to fix this computer. Any suggestions for my next move?
Thank you.

Time Machine Error Message Not enough Memory, How to fix?

I've been using Time Machine, backing up onto a hard drive, since last November. All of a sudden it's giving me an error message saying that it does not have enough space. So the backups fail.
The error message offers 2 alternatives: Destroy files or use a different back up location. The preferences offer no assistance, though the error message implies that I can make the backup smaller there.
How can that be? I have saves for the last 30 days, but I can't back up the current files? That seems like flawed software to me.
Does anyone know a work around?
Thanks,
Jemel

Yes, I have read through this. Seems very unMac like. There really seem to be no preferences while Time machine is active.
I'm not sure what you mean by that. If there isn't room, there isn't room. As dbsneddon says, we can't help figure out what's happened without some details.
There are several possibilities:
Nothing is wrong. You have the +Warn when old backups are deleted+ option checked in TM Preferences, and that's what it did. That's why I referred you to #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting. See the tan box there for a detailed explanation and simple solution.
Your Time Machine drive isn't well over twice the size of the data it's backing-up, and Time Machine has to do a new, full backup. #D3 in Troubleshooting lists some common reasons for that.
For some reason, Time Machine may have started a new set of backups. A common reason is having the Logic board in your Mac replaced. See #C8 in Troubleshooting.
There are others, of course, but start by checking those out.

Not enough memory to start VM

Hello,
My laptop has 8GB RAM and I have allocated 5GB for the VM.
I never used to face this problem earlier on Windows 8 hyper-v.
After upgrading to Win 8.1, this problem is coming "randomly" on Windows 8.1 hyper-v.
Tell me a good reason to restart the laptop? The screenshot proves that there is enough free memory to meet the VM need!
Is this some kind of known issue/bug with Win8.1?
Thanks & Regards,

I don't know if you'd call it a bug, but Win8.1 is definitely more agressive in making sure the host has enough RAM.
The only thing I've found is to use the reserve memory registry tweak to make sure I can start the VM's I need to start.
I know this mentions the WP emulator, but it works for bigger hosts and general Hyper-V. Play with the reserve value until you get it set to what makes your VM run. I just reserve 2048, but I don't run in very large memory footprint VM's.

Message "Could not save because there is not enough memory (RAM)"

Running Mac OS9.2.2 Suddenly start to get and error message " An error occured saving the enclosure "file name" Not enough memory" when trying to save an attachment in Microsoft Outlook. Same thing with Adobe Photoshop - when trying to save an any new file - message "Could not save because there is not enough memory (RAM)".
Already Tried:
During several freezes, suddenly my mac stop recognize any extensions. When used Microsoft Outlook and tried download an attachment got an error message type 3. So I create a new set in extensions manager and get ride of Type 3 error, but get a new error message "Not enough memory" when try to save an attachment, or "Not enough RAM" - when try to save an EPS file in Adobe Photoshop.
In Outlook ("Get Info" section)changed memory size:
Suggested Size: 7168 K
Minimum Size: 16000 K
Preferred Size: 16000 K
In all mailboxes - there are not that many messages and they are not heavy at all, I checked them all before. And I rebuilt/compressed Outlook database - holding Option while restarted Outlook...
Adobe Photoshop - started acting weird at same time. Even if I want to open a file through the menu: File - Open - it gives me the same message.
Who has any clue - please help!!!

Hi, Mike -
I have Outlook Express's Preferred memory allocation set to 45000K, and don't have any problems with attachments. Don't be afraid of increasing OE's Preferred memory allocation (nor IE's, either - I have that set to 65000K).
How large is the Messages file used by the account you're using in Outlook? You can examine that file here - (hard drive) >> Documents >> Microsoft User Data >> Identities >> (account folder, either the default "Main Identity" or one you've created) >> Messages.
It seems that the Messages file grows with each email received; but does not shrink when an email is deleted. Over time, especially when lots of attachments are involved, that file can get huge.
One way to help it not get too big is to -
• delete attachments after copying them to the desktop. In case you're not familiar with the easy way to copy an attachment to the desktop - select the email so it opens; click the small triangle next to the legend "Attachments" between the upper pane and the lower pane in Outlook's main window; drag the attachment from the list out onto the desktop. It will be extracted and copied to that location. Once that has been done you can delete the attachment from the email with which it arrived.
• after purging your emails of unneeded emails and attachments, compact the file. To do that, quit Outlook if it is running. Then hold down the Option key and start up Outlook. A splash screen will appear asking if you want to compact its database files - click yes. Follow the prompts.
Compacting OE's database can also fix some instances of a damaged database that can't be used.
If you could answer a few more questins, perhaps we can offer additional suggestions -
1) How much RAM do you have installed? That means the physical RAM, not counting Virtual Memory in use, if any.
2) How full is your hard drive - how big is it, how much free space is left unused?
3) When was the last time you rebuilt the desktop file?

Lightroom 5 "not enough memory" error message

After using Lightroom 5 for several months I started to have the message "not enough memory" during the export action. It started to appear ones in a while, then it became more frequent and now it comes in every single photo exported.
I wonder if it is related to the library size as the only thing that changed in my computer since I started to use Lightroom is that I have increased the amount of pictures.
I run Lightroom out of my hard disk and I store the raw files as well as the modified jpg pictures in an external hard disk. Both have enough space and the core memory size has not changed since the beginning. I try not to run any other program at the same time.
I have seen that there are several discussions on this subject but it goes normally to increasing the size of the memory but it doesn’t explain why at the beginning the export was done very quickly and without problem and why the problem increased with the time (and with the size of the library°
Is there a way to manage the library size?

I have found a Work Around without changing or revamping my computer.
As I have noticed that the problem came slowly after several months of using Lightroom I suspected that there was something accumulating in the memory space needed for the program. From the left menu bar where I had all of the imported files, I deleted the folders that I'm not using currently; this action didn't erase the files in the hard drive but deleted them from the program's memory.
I noticed that now the program needs less memory space during normal use (developing) and when I do an export, the peak of memory usage that is needed for the operation does not reach the available memory space.

"not enough memory to place the file" error message

hello all,
running windows 7, illustrator cs3 on a pc.
trying to open or place psd files in illustrator and get the following message "not enough memory to place the file".
I've reset illustrator prefs, disabled "enable desktop connection", check scratch discs, etc.
Nothing seems to be addressing the problem, has anyone else run into this?

There's no such thing as an "Illustrator CS3 portable" version. What you have is an illegal torrent download. Any issues you experience may be due to the illegal copying of the software.

Opening attachments - ERROR MSG - 'Not enough memory or disc space'

Hi
I'm trying to open a word .doc from my Entourage email account and it comes up with the error message ' Not enough memory or disc space'. My hard drive has 119 GB free - so I'm thinking it may be a memory issue.
How do I deal with this/clean up my computer??
I just turned my computer on for the day and got this message. The only programs I've got running is Safari, entourage, word and adobe reader.
Thanks.

Have you tried Epson support for that E-Web Print application?
Also, I am curious if Epson installed an add-on for Firefox for that E-Web Print application? ''Thus prompting you to ask about it in the Firefox support forum.''
At this point the best I can offer you is a suggestion to reset your printer prefs in Firefox to see if that will help with that issue.
