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...)

Why do some assets ask me to 'Save Changes' even though nothing has changed

Problem: Assets that have been uploaded recently ask me to save changes, every-time I close 'get info' window, but nothing has been changed.
This problem didn't always happen with assets early on. But it's seem to happen now after I've added new groups and fields to the metadata set. Not sure if that's related.

After reading the 'Administration Guide', I quickly discovered that I had been improperly setting the CATEGORY for each new FIELD I created. I assumed that when I created a 'Shoot Date' field, I chose 'Date' as the category. Apparently, this is incorrect. All custom field metadata that you create must have a category set to 'None'. Every other category is for FCSr's internal purposes. Surprising, but it was in the documentation. Changing the category on this new field back to 'none' solved my issue.

Hi,
I tried 4-5 times . all the time i got out of memory error. Then i changed the odiparam file and increased heap size to 4 times higher.
Next time i imported it worked just Fine
thanks anyway.

Why do I get out of memory errors when 10GB memory is free?

I am on HP UNIX 64bit 11.23 titanium, running Oracle 10.2.0.3. . My server has 24GB memory and of that 10GB is free (as seen in glance). When I doing oracle exp or rman commands, I get:
ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 1049112 bytes (KSFQ heap,KSFQ Buffers)
I checked both rman and exp are 64bit executables, so they should be able to access all the memory on the system.

I have just one parameter in init.ora sga_target which controls everything in SGA. hw two instance I was reporting porblem have sga_target of 256M and 192M, Problems happen off and on, but 9 to 10GN free memory is alwyas available on server.
Her is more information on the problem:
1.     I do not think problem is with ulimit, but something is definitely not set correctly. Ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 4194300
stack(kbytes) 131072
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) 4194303
parameters are reasonable.
2.     I have 10GB free memory. I run simple java command
Java
it works.
3.     Now I increase memory for sga_target for one of my Oracle instance from 256M to 512M. I only hav eon eparameter sga_traget which controls everything in SGA. There are many other Oracle instances on the server. My Oracle instance starts without problems.
4.     I now run java, it gives me:
Out of memory error, so Oracle has exhausted some memory (probably shared memory) which is needed by java. I still have 9-10GB memory on my server, so why java is not using this memory.
5.     After iOracle instance starts, off and on Oracle backups fail with ORA- error (not enough memory) I reported earlier.
I hope HP engineers can figure this out.

My Adobe Premiere Elements was working a little while ago -- nothing has changed on my PC -- now I get error 150:30

My Adobe Premiere Elements was working a little while ago -- nothing has changed on my PC -- now I get error 150:30

seadrift
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what Windows computer are you running it?
The 150:30 error is probably indicative of a licensing problem.
How long has the problem existed?
If it persists, please check out the following Adobe document related to troubleshooting this type of matter...perhaps starting with
solution 2.

Please let us know if any of that worked for you.

Is anyone else having an issue with Muse 2014.2 Freezing/Crashing at launch? It worked perfectly up until tonight and nothing has changed on my computer. I'm running windows 8.1. I've tried logging in and out of CC, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Muse twice with no change. Please advise. Thanks!

Are you getting any error when Muse crashes? what's the one function it lets you do before it freezes?

"Your session has timed out,try again." is the message I get every time I try to purchase a song on itunes. My last purchase was June 11, 2011, and nothing has changed since then.

"Your session has timed out, try again." is the message I get every time I try to purchase a song. My last purchase was june of this year, and nothing has changed since then.

I had this problem, but it was because I was clicking on an external link. Try instead going straight into iTunes, then going to the Podcast section. At the bottom of the "Podcast Quick Links" section, there's a text, "Submit a Podcast." Click on this instead. Once I did, I got to the same page as before, but it did process the feed.
Good luck!

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.
- Warren

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.

Today I tried to use Acrobat 9.5 and I am receiving this message: "Licensing for this product has stopped working."
"You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product of contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help".
Nothing has changed since I used this product yesterday. I've never had a problem with this product until now.
How can I download a new copy using the same license and without paying for a new copy. Why did this happen?

trying to import photos and copy as DNG. Nothing will upload though. Permissions are all accurate, saving to the right profile, etc. Nothing has changed on my computer but it will not let me import new pictures. Also, updated the software and some images say "preview cannot be seen" and some don't. And when I try to import and I hit "new photos" it's all the photos on my card. My brain is about to explode.

It said something similar where the thumbnails were supposed to be.
Just got the newest edition of LR, 4.4
4.4 is not the newest edition of LR
We don't want to know that it said "something similar", we want to know the exact wording. In fact, you ought to state the exact problem you are having, in detail, instead of saying you are having the same problem.

Acrobat XI Pro "Out of Memory" error after Office 2010 install

Good Afternoon,
We recently pushed Office 2010 to our users and are now getting reports of previous installs of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro no longer working but throwing "Out of Memory" errors.
We are in a Windows XP environment. All machines are HP 8440p/6930p/6910 with the same Service pack level (3) and all up to date on security patches.
All machines are running Office 2010 SP1.
All machines have 2GB or 4GB of RAM (Only 3.25GB recognized as we are a 32bit OS environment).
All machines have adequate free space (ranging from 50gb to 200gb of free space).
All machines are set to 4096mb initial page file size with 8192mb maximum page file size.
All machines with Acrobat XI Pro *DO NOT* have Reader XI installed alongside. If Reader is installed, it is Reader 10.1 or higher.
The following troubleshooting steps have been taken:
Verify page file size (4096mb - 8192mb).
Deleted local user and Windows temp files (%temp% and c:\WINDOWS\Temp both emptied).
Repair on Adobe Acrobat XI Pro install. No change.
Uninstall Acrobat Pro XI, reboot, re-install. No change.
Uninstall Acrobat Pro XI Pro along with *ALL* other Adobe applications presently installed (Flash Player, Air), delete all Adobe folders and files found in a full search of the C drive, delete all orphaned Registry entries for all Adobe products, re-empty all temp folders, reboot.
Re-install Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. No change.
Disable enhanced security in Acrobat XI Pro. No change.
Renamed Acrobat XI's plug_ins folder to plug_ins.old.
You *can* get Acrobat to open once this is done but when you attempt to edit a file or enter data into a form, you get the message, "The "Updater" plug-in has been removed. Please re-install Acrobat to continue viewing the current file."
A repair on the Office 2010 install and re-installing Office 2010 also had no effect.
At this point, short of re-imaging the machines (which is *not* an option), we are stumped.
We have not yet tried rolling back a user to Office 2007 as the upgrade initiative is enterprise-wide and rolling back would not be considered a solution.
Anyone have any ideas beyond what has been tried so far?

As mentioned, the TEMP folder is typically the problem. MS limits the size of this folder and you have 2 choices: 1. empty it or 2. increase the size limit. I am not positive this is the issue, but it does crop up at times. It does not matter how big your harddrive is, it is a matter of the amount of space that MS has allocated for virtual memory. I am surprised that there is an issue with 64GB of RAM, but MS is real good at letting you know you can't have it all for use because you might want to open up something else. That is why a lot of big packages turn off some of the limits of Windows or use Linux.

Uploading large files from applet to servlet throws out of memory error

OK - the problem you describe is definitely what's giving you grief.
The workaround is to use a socket connection and send your own request headers, with the content length filled in. You may have to multi-part mime encode the stream on its way out as well (I'm not about that...).
You can use the following:
http://porsche.cis.udel.edu:8080/cis479/lectures/slides-04/slide-02.html
on your server to get a feel for the format that the request headers need to take.

I get the out of Memory Error on the client side. I
was told that this might be a bug in the URLConnection
class implementation that basically it wont know the
content length until all the data has been written to
the output stream, so it uses an in memory buffer to
store the data which basically causes memory issues..
do you think there might be a workaround of any kind..
or maybe a way that the buffer might be flushed after
a certain size of file has been uploaded.. ?? do you
have any ideas?

Adobe X Pro 10.1.10 Out of Memory error message

Hello One, Hello All
Since updating our Adobe X Pro machines to version update 10.1.10, we occasionally receive an "Out of Memory" error message, which depending on what we are doing, may force us to shutdown all Adobe windows and re-open Adobe, or simply click OK and continue working with the PDF document like nothing is wrong. It seems to have no rhyme or reason to when or why it occurs. I do not see any warnings or errors in the Windows Event Log. It happens with files we have created, and also happens with files received from internal and external sources through email. It is affecting our high end machines: Lenovo X Series and W Series laptops with Windows 8.1 3rd/4th gen i5 CPUs, 8+GB RAM, 128+GB SSD's. We have all system and Windows updates applied. We have Trend Micro and Malwarebytes real-time protection and system scans do not find any malware.
I have found a few other recent threads on Adobe forum related to this error message but the responses are weak at best with no definitive fix. The system and user temp folders size are less than 100MB each so this cannot be the issue. When the error occurs I check task manager and system utilization, including memory, is well below 100%.
We did not have this issue prior to version update 10.1.10.
Really hoping Adobe can step in to help here and hoping boilerplate responses are not used.

Hi wayne103,
We released a new security update yesterday that is v10.1.11
Please update to this version and check the performance.
I have seen this error message occur while opening a 3rd party created pdf that has corrupted file structure.
Please let me know if the issue occurs for some specific files or random
Also let me know the PDF producer for these pdfs.
Regards,
Rave

Out of Memory Error when transcoding

I am using winXP and Encore CS3. I don't have anything else open. My project is complete, but I cannot burn to DVD because I get this Out of Memory error, save and close to avoid loss. I am trying to transcode the audio track for the DVD. I've made 3 different projects. On one of the projects, I just downloaded, it did transcode. All of my menu work is in another program. Is there a way to get this one transcoded file over to the other project. Then I could be finished and burn. I don't understand why this one transcode will not work. the other music I brought in as assets for the menu and submenu transcoded fine. Sometime it will say 'transcode preset error'. I went all the way back to Premiere and changed setting there in hopes. can anyone help please

Thanks, disheartening? I'm distraught.
Everything else works, but not Encore. I tried to reinstall, but it keeps saying it cannot install until I close Bridge.
Bridge is not open.
I restarted. I uninstalled an earlier verion of Bridge.
Nothing doing.
still wants me to close Bridge.
I hate to do the whole thing over because of encore.
Help me think of a workaround!

Out of Memory error, though nothing has changed?
