OSX 10.9 memory full problems

Hi, I have a severe memory problem with a Mac Air 11.6", Mac OSX 10.9.
I use word 2010 a lot, with medium length documents (10-20pages) It sometimes takes 2 gigs of RAM just for word. Why is that? none of the files themselves are over 50mb. The Mac then freezes or various programs stop responding (primarily mail). Also the task kernel_task sometimes takes upwards of 500mb... what can be done about that? is there some memory purge procedure or software for the Mac.. or some other system level solution?   we use the same documens exactly on Word for the PC that has the same amount of RAM, and never had such problems...we made sure Office and the OSX got all available updates.
thanks

PS here is the Activity monitor process list...(after quitting word when it froze). Thanks again..

  • E71 Memory Full Problem

    Hi,
    I have brand new Nokia E71 White with latest firmware available on NSU (110.07.127, 09-10-2008).
    After few days of using it I found out that I cannot use "HELP" option from Nokia main menu and trying to realize what is the problem I discovered that I cannot use "HELP" option in any installed application (Handy Weather, Best reminder and many others.
    Every time I want to use "help" whether is Nokia´s help or any other application I get memory full error.
    This is frustrating. Anyone can help?
    Regards

    this probably is a case of a bug in ur device so what u can try are: plz make a back up
    take out your sim card and put in *#7780# to restore factory settings. you should not lose any data, but all settings will go into default. try that first.
    the second option is a reset *#7370# this one will erase all of your data, 'wipe the phone clean' and restore to factory settings. see if any of these options work and if you are able to use your phone as you like/need to.
    the third option U can go in for a hard reset which will turn ur device as it left the factory totally new
    '*' '3' 'Call Key' and Power button all pressed at the same time and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. After u have removed ur phone battery for at least 5 mins.

  • C5-03 cache memory full problem

    Hi everyone, i have a veyr annoying problem with this phone while browsing internet it constantly keep alerting me that the "phone memory is full, please close some applications" is there a way to fix it? i do not have any programs installed onto phone memory, just the ones from the developer. please help, as far as i know it doesnt occure in other phones even earlier editions....
    p.s i use now opera mobile

    Hey Denialist
    Have you tried to remove some saved web pages. Clear the web browser cache to free some phone memory to do this select Options > Clear privacy data > Cache. Hopefully that will help speed up your phone again, please let me know if you continue having problems.

  • Camera on Standby - Memory Full - Problem Solved o...

    It's not THE PHONE MEMORY OR EVEN THE MEMORY CARD CAPACITY IT'S ALL ABOUT THE IMAGE DESTINATION FOLDER HAVING TOO MANY FILES OR TOO MANY MBs!
    Thanks to some guy mentioning that this might be rooted in Nokia's formatting of the MicroSD card I was lead in the right direction to solve this problem on my phone!!!!  Indeed I have my phone set to route all pictures to the Memory Card. My memory card is big, there is plenty of room on it....but I was getting the dreded error mentioned in the subject line. I could go into the IMAGE folder and delete a picture or two and get rid of the problem. But it never dawned on me to go to that folder and MARK ALL the pictures, then MOVE them to a NEW FOLDER that I created.
    This steps to doing this are less than obvious. You have to create your new folder on the memory card, ok easy, then go to your overstuffed destination folder and MARK ALL, then MOVE, then select the place to move them by using the OPTIONs button to drill down to the new folder instead of the top level of the MEMORY CARD.
    Now you might be able to skip moving these and just create a new folder and in CAMERA MODE drill down thru the options to get to Settings and change the destination to save the photos/videos. I didn't try this. I wanted it all to stay as I had it, going to the IMAGE folder as Nokia originally set it up.
    THIS SOLVED MY PROBLEM. I was scratching my head on this for a year!!!! And DUH it was really right in front of me... I KNEW the folder would take more pics as soon as I deleted some. But it didn't dawn on me to EMPTY that destination folder to another folder on the phone. I knew I could have backed them all up to my PC. Just was too lazy. 
    I think what threw me for the longest time was that I knew the memory card had PLENTY of room. So really this was a formatting issue Fat16?  that restricted the number of files or the total capacity in MB in any one particular folder. 
    Yahoooooo my phone goes into CAMERA MODE like a snap again!   And taking pictures is no problemo!!!
    Now if I could only get that old 5300 I have to boot again. That's another issue.  

    I have the same problem with my nokia 7100s-2, when i try to take pictures it says camera is on standby.The phone is not using a memory card.

  • Backup problem, memory full! (Nokia 5320XM)

    I've been having this odd problem with backups for about 2 months now and i can't make backups of my phone memory to the MicroSD card and it always says: "memory full! Close some applications and try again" But my MicroSD card has over 800mb free space and phone memory has about 65mb free space!?! So the memory is NOT full! I can't find a solution for this so any help would be appreciated

    try updating software then try to
     Make a partial backup using PC Suite (leave out settings and any features that you don't use), then reformat the phone using *#7370#.
    It's important that you use PC Suite parital backup rather than the full backup to memory card, because sometimes the problem can be restored with your data.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

    Software or even hard reset perhaps is the only way for a quick solution/fix, but first back up using for example Outlook using Nokia Suite or Funambol.
    Not a nice problem you having here.

  • Messaging Problem Nokia N95 - Memory Full, close a...

    Hi,
    I'm having problems with messaging. When attempting to send the message "Memory full. Close applications and try again" appears - although there is no issue with the phone or card memory and are pretty empty. The message sits in the outbox and no matter how many times you try to send, will not allow.
    At first I removed the SIM card, clean and replaced and this did work the first time. It no longer works at all now. Does anyone have any suggestions or experienced this before?
    Thanks, Phil

    So have you checked that your memory is not FULL?
    Go to the File Manager and then select Options Memory details (for the Phone Memory) do you have free memory?
    Have you installed something that may be running in the background (like a theme or something else) try to use one of the default themes.
    Have you cleaned (deleted) the internet cache for the browser?
    If all fails you may need to do a hard reset and clean your phone completely of all installed things and downloaded content. Then try it (before you start loading your stuff).
    Phones have a limited amount of resources and can get full very easily without you knowing. Programs use the Phone memory to store temporary files that never get deleted. DRM songs also consume memory even after you deleted the songs, etc.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

    Running on Mac OS 10.10.2
    16 GB memory
    After I try launching Dreamweaver, a warning about system application memory full forces me to quit Dreamweaver.
    I've tried uninstalling Dreamweaver from CC and reinstalling, deleting my Dreamweaver preferences, restarting computer - all to NO avail.

  • Memory full.Not enough memory for operation.

    To the Report Design Team,
    It has been suggested that I post this issue here based on another thread I started: Re: Memory full.Not enough memory for operation.
    The template contains a single 24 bit PNG image as a background in the Page Header section, plus 9 image records from a SQL Server image field over 3 pages (3 images per page).  The images are all JPG at 3000x2000 (digital camera).
    To summarize, we are experiencing three problems.
    1. CR2008SP2 Designer issues a Memory Full error when Exporting to PDF.
    2. Using a 3rd party PDF Printer (Bullzip PDF) and CR2008SP2 Designer generates a PDF, however, the CR2008SP2 API throws a "Memory full" exception suggesting Designer and API are different (see stack trace in linked message above).
    3. With only 3 images on 1 page, CR2008 Designer Export to PDF takes 110 seconds to generate a 24MB PDF while our third party PDF Printer generates the same report in 17 seconds and 580KB.
    Edited by: Don Williams on Sep 30, 2009 6:43 AM

    The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save.  Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
    The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
    When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full".  If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error.  However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
    The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything).  The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
    We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
    We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem.  Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
    Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2.  The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size.  However, the API reports memory full.
    The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing.  When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
    Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have?  Are there known problems with large images in reports?  Do we need to lodge a formal support request?
    Regards,  Grant.
    PS.  Grr and my message formatting is lost when I edited this message!!!
    There is a 1500 character limit and then all formatting is removed to save space. Break you posts into separate entries.

  • Nokia C5-03 SIM memory full... but NO SIM MESSAGES...

    Hello everyone. I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, I'm new here.
    Recently my C5-03 has a flashing envelope on the screen saying the SIM memory is full.
    I searched on Google and found some topics saying to go to Messages -> SIM messages and delete them...
    But problem is... no SIM messages appear! I'm desperate and can't find any other solution... what can I do?!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Hardstylehunt3r,
    Thank you for your post and welcome to the Nokia discussion forums.
    Sorry to hear about your issue but there certain steps you can try to resolve this issue.
    Memory full messages may occur if there are too many applications running at the same time or if there is not enough free space in the phone memory. Depending on the error message, the following actions can be taken:
    "Memory Full: Close some applications and try again"
    In this case there are too many applications active at the same time. The problem can be fixed by closing some of the applications:
    Long press the Menu key to see the list of active applications.
    Select the applications which are not needed and close them.
    If this doesn't help, switch off and restart the phone.
    "Memory Full: Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory"
    The phone notifies you if the phone memory or memory card memory is getting low. There can be different error messages shown this situation, e.g.:
    "Memory Full: Delete or remove some data from C: Phone memory"
    "Disk Full : Automatic retrieval of mailbox for exchange disabled"
    To free phone memory, transfer some data to the memory card with the File mgr application (select Menu > Applications > File mgr.). Select or mark files to be moved, select Options >Organise > Move to folder and then the destination folder.
    In order to free memory, you could also remove or move the following:
    Messages from Inbox, Drafts and Sent folders in Messaging.
    Retrieved e-mail messages from the phone memory.
    Saved Web pages. Clear the web browser cache to free some memory (select Options > Clear privacy data > Cache). 
    Saved images, videos, or sound files.
    Contact information.
    Calendar notes.
    Downloaded application packages.
    If there are applications which are not needed any more, uninstall them (select Menu > Settings > Data mgr. > App.mgr. > Installed apps.).
    Any other data that you no longer need
    If possible, use the memory card instead of phone memory in the Camera application (selectOptions > Settings > Memory in use to define the memory where the images are stored). You can also use Nokia Suite to transfer images and video clips to your PC. 
    If you are deleting multiple items and any of the following notes are shown: Not enough memory to perform operation. Delete some data first or Memory low. Delete some data, try deleting items one by one (starting from the smallest item).
    Or you can try this:
    To release the phone memory and change the email store from the phone memory to the memory card, follow the steps below.
    Select Menu > Messaging and Options > Settings > Other.
    Select  Memory in use> Memory card.
    To question Copy all messages to the new message memory?, select Yes.
    To question Save original messages?, select No if you want to release the phone memory or select Yes if you wish to keep the original messages in the phone memory.
    Alternatively you can sync your phone with Nokia suite and clear the messages that way if it is not showing on your device. Full instructions on how to sync can be found on the follwing link:
    http://support.ovi.com/osc/en_GB/service/ovi_on_your_computer/howto/support-suite-syncing-and-backin..., 
    If this doesnt help you can try doing a soft reset by inputting code *#7780#. This wont delete any data but rather reset your phone settings. If the device ask for a default code this is usually 12345.
    There's a lot to try to resolve here so give it a go and let me know if any helps.
    Regards

  • Nokia C5-03 Error: Memory full. Close some applica...

    Hi,
    I purchased this phone mainly to use for Navigation and phone, but disappointed by the error shows up every time when you are in need while using Map.
    I do not have any extra applications running other than it came with. I have closed all the running application which running map. Phone software and Map is upto date with version (V22.0.007 and 2.45 on map) Earlier versions also same problem. Currently the available memory shows 27.2 MB)
    I tried all the solutions given in /t5/Hardware-Codes-and-Operator/Nokia-C5-03-SIM-me​mory-full-but-NO-SIM-MESSAGES/m-p/1260683#M25236, but no use. Same error.
    Is there any way out other than choosing another phone and brand?
    Regards
    Simon
    Moderator's notes: Post moved into it's own thread. 

    I am completely frustrated with this phone (Nokia C5-03). I originally wanted a smartphone but didn't want to buy the brand leader like everyone else so I thought I could rely on a Nokia.  I have had this phone for less than 12 months now and I have already done a full reset TWICE and have lost all of my information.  On both occasions when the memory problems starting occurring with the phone I tried to back up my info to my PC but the phone told me that I had "not enough memory to perform operation"!!!! I am now getting memory full messages every 10 minutes and the phone will do nothing for me. 
    There is nothing left on the phone to delete.  I had my email synched to the phone originally for about two weeks but had to get rid of it as it was slowing the phone down.  I never connect to the internet with the phone - I mean NEVER. In browsing the web for solutions I am constantly finding varied and interesting comments about clearing the cache via the web app (I cannot connect to the web on the phone now - NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO PERFORM OPERATION) and connecting my phone to a PC and browsing the memory to find out what the "other files" are (NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO PERFORM OPERATION) or even downloading software onto the computer, running this in the background as I connect phone to PC in order to clear the memory (NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO PERFORM OPERATION). 
    I reiterate that I use the phone for nothing other than SMS and calls.  I had images on the phone but they are long gone. I have done two full resets to factory default settings and I'm facing another one and I am beyond frustrated. Please dont tell me to connect to my PC (see above) dont tell me to connect to web via phone (see above).  My phone memory is showing 22MB SIS applications (which I understand I cannot get rid off) and 46MB other files (WHY????) I reiterate that I do not (and now cannot) browse the web on the phone, I don't use e-mail on the phone, all I do is sms and calls.   WHY WHY WHY is my phone not working?  Is there anything to be done with this phone or do I put it out of its misery? 

  • Memory full error

    I'm getting "memory full error" during generation of report. CR version is 8.5. The report contains 2 sub reports. Can anyone suggest what exactly the problem is and what could be the solution ... ??
    Thanks in advance ...

    And if you run the report int he Designer do you get the same error?
    If not then what is the application doing when it gets the error?
    What have you done to debug the issue?
    Yes, getting the same error in designer also. My application is actually passing data to CR for some inventory related display. The report contains 3 sub reports linked with main report. I'm debugging all the sub reports as I doubt that it can be bcoz of one of the sub reports.  Will check and update you ...

  • Memory full/video freeze - backup - Spiderman (!)

    Hi
    Read lots of these posts regarding memory full errors, so I am planning to upgrade the firmware. However when doing the backup, it's told me that it could not back-up copyright material (I am assuming this is the Spiderman vid that came with it) - Am I right in thinking that I will therefore loose Spiderman when I update the firmware?
    The problem with memory manifests itself as follows:
    Approximately 5GB free on the phone.
    I have 660mb of music
    When ever I download more than about 80MB of podcasts, the memory is full ...
    I have also suffered from the video freeze problem - once you have a couple of vids on the phone, it will freeze for a couple of seconds. Whilsts other has said it is to do with the I/O speed of the mass memory, I don;t think it is - it is too intermittent. e.g. went to Coldplay gig. First vid - no skip (about 5 mins) 2nd & 3rd attempts to vid - froze after a couple of seconds - then managed 10 minutes straight off. No changes to settings..
    Anyhow - if you can let me know about spiderman - is he a gonner on my phone when I update the firmware?
