Need help saving this document...says not enough RAM

I have Photoshop Elements 5.0. I have been working on some yearbook pages and had no problem saving the photo-heavy pages. I had all the photos and photo pages closed and started working on a page that was all text. Toward the end of the page I tried to save it and was told I did not have enough RAM. I had 19 layers of text so far...is that why it won't save? I know I can allocate more RAM but it won't take effect until I restart the program. Is there any way to save the work I have already done?

Close any other open documents.
If you have any other applications running, close those.
In pse5 go to Edit>Purge and choose All.
See if that makes any difference.

PS CC 2014 requires less than what my laptop is capable of, but still says "not enough ram". Help?

I have an Acer Aspire with Windows 7. I downloaded Photoshop CC 2014, which said it's requirements were less than what my laptop has, plus I upgraded the ram to 8 already. If I go to lighting, it opens, stalls, then says not enough ram, and another message about making sure things are enabled, etc etc, which I have already done. What do I do?

It says ram on one message, and talks about graphics card on another. The first message that pops up says the 3D feature require that "use graphics processor is enabled in the performance preferences. Your video card must meet the minimum requirement and you may need to check that your driver is working correctly. Once that message is closed the next message that pops up says unable to perform function you do not have enough RAM.

Not enough Ram memory in photoshop -please help

Hi
When I try to save any of my work in photoshop as a jpeg (not large files-even only 5Mb size ones) it comes up with an error message saying not enough Ram to save. IM using windows xp, I have 2.5Gigs of ram, 100Gigs free space on C drive and 100gigs free space on my other drive (J:). I have checked the scratch disk prefernce and allocated 65% of ram to memory. I have also made my J: drive the number one scratch disk and C:drive as number 2. I have defragged my computer, and made sure no other programs ar running at the same time when im using photoshop. i have checked for viruses and spyware...and it still wont save....can someone please help i dont no what else to so?

What is a "scratch drive"?
How do I make sure there are not large temp files on it?
How do I make sure the RAM allocated to PS in PS Preferneces is not to high?
A "scratch drive" is one of your hard drives (C:\ if you only have one) that PS uses to write to as an extension of normal memory. It is needed even if you have lots of RAM.
In PS, if you go to Edit > Preferences > Performance, you will see not only the amount of RAM allocated to PS (which should be in the recommended "Ideal" range) but also which scratch disks are nominated. With more than one hard drive, it is best not to have the system disk as scratch.
With PS closed, you can then look in Windows Explorer to check if there are any large temp files left on that drive and delete them.

Late 2012 imac 'not enough ram' for photoshop

I have a late 2012 imac - 3.4 i7 16 gig ram and yet when using photoshop elements 9 it keeps freezing with a message saying not enough ram. Another problem which may or may not be related is MS word tending to freeze when I cut and paste??
Any help greatfully received
Thanks

Well, I use PSE 11 and at least in my version I would recommend, as Adobe does, that you go into Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor>Preferences>Performance>and there I would set your RAM allocation ("Memory Useage" as they call it ) to at least around 12 GB while you are using PSE. It is heavily dependent on the amount of RAM it has available:

Not Enough Ram? Working on project in DVDSP3

When I am working on a project in DVDSP3, I get the beachball of death, and have to force quit the program. I find that this occurs more often I get deeper into the project working on themes, etc.
Is this related to not enough ram? I am using a Macbook Pro Intel DC 2.0, 120 HD, 256 X1600 Video card, 1GB single slot ram.
Thanks-
Kevin

While RAM is any easy target, I would not be too quick to blame it for your performance issue. I use Final Cut Pro HD, Adobe After Effects 6.5, etc. on my similarly configured MacBook Pro. Have you repaired permissions lately? How many other programs are you running? Check your activity log to make sure no apps are "hogging" system resources. I have an HP LaserJet All In One Machine that is notorious for bogging down the system when printing Adobe files. The point is while RAM does affect performance, there are many other factors as well and without more information it is difficult to tell you whether spending hard earned $$$ on more memory is the best course of action.

My iiPad has a message that says not enough storage available on iCloud the only thing I can do is turn the iPad off. It's like the message is frozen on there! help what can I do

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Can't update iphone as not enough memeory on computer. Have tried to move itunes to an external hardrive and I thinm it has moved and clicked on the Itunes folder from the external but still says not enough memory..help

Our computer is REALLY low on memory...we will get a new one at some point but can't at the moment.
Upgraded to the new iphone 4s and bought an external hardrive so I could move my Itunes library to that, so I could update iphone/itunes (isn't enough memeory on PC to do this)
I read that I need to consolidate my itunes first but again when I tried to do this it said not enough computer memory.
Anyway I tried to move the itunes folder over to hardrive and then it looked like it had worked. Clicked on itunes via the external and it opened ituens up..brilliant I thought!Backed my old iphone up and then clicked update...then a m,essage came up saying not enough memeory on comouter to update.
Is this because i need to delete itunes off the computer?
Am worried in case it isn't on the hard drive correctly and will lose everything!

You would be better off to go through and uninstall programs you no longer need or use and move your data over to the external drive, at least temporarily. The iOS update file will be somewhere around 700MB. If your system has less than 20% free disk space, you're pushing the limits even without trying to download something that large and back up your phone so the update can process. If you're running less than 10% disk space you've entered dangerous waters no matter what you're doing.
This really isn't iPhone related and we can't advise you as to what data and applications you can move or delete. You will have to make that determination yourself or get a friend or family member to help.
If you do not have a current backup of your computer system, you need to make one. NOW!

Illustrator can't open my saved file because there is not enough RAM. Can someone help me?

I was working all last night on artwork using Illustrator and now I cannot get it to open. The message reads that there is not enough RAM. This is after a long pause of waiting for illustrator to read the file. The file is 37 MB large, so it doesn't seem that daunting for my MacBook Pro with 8 GB of RAM. Any thoughts? Other files open with no problem.
After I hit ok on the message (Not enough RAM), it seems to be trying to work on something in the Illustrator file and then repeats saying there is not enough RAM.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, there was a message on my file that suggested I save it with the PDF compatibility, but I am not able to do that till I get in. I am at the Apple store now to see if they can help me out. It would be sad to lose all that inspiration I put into my artwork.
Thanks for your help, I will need to be careful how much I load on one Illustrator file in the future.

TS3212 I just purchased a new iphone 4s and I am trying to load some music from my itues. I am getting a message that says not enough space. I checked my phone and it shows i have 5.1G available. do you know how to fix this problem?

I just purchased a new iphone 4S and I'm trying to loan some music from itunes. I keep getting a message that says not enough space on my phone. I checked my phone and I have 5.1G available. I deselected all the songs on my itunes to try and get it to sync and I keep getting the same message. Any tips?

Hey csumner1,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a "Not enough free space" alert when attempting to sync your new iPhone 4s. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
Resolution
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
1. Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
2. Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
3. Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
4. Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
          - If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
5. Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
          - Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
          - Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
          - Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
          - Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
6. Restore using iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Problem with saving a pdf file to computer. Continually get an error message " This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21).

Need advice on a saving file issue. I'm having problem with saving a .pdf file to computer. Continually get an error message " This document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (21). This is new as this error message just recently started to pop-up.

A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially.
I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.
