Safari - POSIX Error

I have just recently encounterd the following error in Safari which prevent me from opening any website in Safari 3.0.4:
POSIX error: Cannot allocate memory² (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:12)
I use Entourage for email, and I am able to use an older version of Internet Explorer to access the Internet so my Internet connection is fine.
In addition, software update doesn't work because of an alleged network connection error.
I tried reseting Safari, and re-installing individually from the recent 10.4.11 Combo update, and I also tried re-installing the whole combo update but neither worked.
Please help?!

Hi,
Do you have any proxies enabled in the System Preferences -> Network settings?
If so, try turning them off.

  • Safari - POSIX error 12 - cannot allocate memory

    I am trying to use my ipod touch for the internet. When I try to go to a site I get the following error.
    Safari can't open the page.
    The error was: "Operation could not be com0pleted.
    (POSIX error 12 - Cannot allocate memory)"
    (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:12)
    How do I get past this error

    If you haven't already done so, I'd suggest rebooting your iPod. This isn't the same as turning it off with a quick tap to the button on top. Quite often a reboot of a computer will clear up a temporary memory issue. From the ipod touch manual:
    Press and hold the
    Sleep/Wake button on top of iPod touch for a few seconds until a red slider appears,
    then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo
    appears.
    Hope this solves it and you don't see the error again.

  • POSIX Error 12

    My daughter has a 12 iBook G3 running 10.4.3. She keeps getting the following error when starting up Safari:
    POSIX error: Cannot allocate memory (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:12)
    In addition i Tunes won't run and Software Update produces a memory allocation error.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

  • POSIX Error 12 - cannot allocate memory

    Hi
    I am having trouble to connect the iPod Touch to my home network, I can see that it recognize my netzork but when I try Safari I got the error 'Safari can't open the page, The error was "Operation could not be completed (POSIX error 12 - cannot allocate memory) (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:12)
    I wonder if the network is recognized through Safari.
    Do you know where to find the list or errors and correction?
    How do you know on Safari if you are connected to the network ?
    On my settings I got an IP address and all the parameters.
    Thanks for your help

  • IBook - "POSIX Error - Cannot allocate memory"

    When attempting to use the Software Update, I get the following message: "POSIX Error - Cannot allocate memory."
    Also, when attempting to access Safari, the following message is displayed:
    Other suggestions previously have not worked, such as Preferences, Disk Warrior, etc.
    Are there any others that may be recent or ground breaking?  Is it possible that Tiger is simply at the end of its lifecycle?

    I use Tiger everyday as my main OSX, no such problems, though there are no Software Updates for Tiger for a long, long time.
    Open System Preferences>Network>Configure>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTP & HTTPS.

  • Posix error when bringing up mail from mac page

    i can access my mail from my mail icon but when loading mail account from mac homepage it doesn't completely load shows one line of code in error says posix error.. everything else in safari works

  • POSIX Error- Allocating Memeory

    When trying to access the web from Safari or IE, I get 'POSIX Error: Cannot allocate memory (NSPOSIX Error Domain:12)'.
    Can't figure what the issue is.
    I can access the web via Netscape, so I figure somethings up with the system settings.

    I'm having this same issue, but it's a little more particular, and it doesn't seem to have to do with my proxy settings. It's tied, rather to a particular IP address.
    I get the error when trying to SSH there ("ssh: connect to host x.x.x.x port 22: Cannot allocate memory") or browse there ("The error was: “POSIX error: Cannot allocate memory” (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:12)"). I have had this happen once before, and a reboot solved the problem then. This time, it didn't work.
    Any suggestions that fall short of a reinstall would be appreciated. I have to add a static route to access this host normally, so maybe a routing file got corrupted?

  • Safari Upload Error

    Ok, so I am finally fed up with this error and thought I would post. Every time I try to upload a file via a form on the web (webmail attachments, myspace, etc) I get the following message:
    Safari can’t open the page.
    Safari can’t open the page “http://www.mac.com/WebObjects/Webmail.woa/343/wo/JDxOsdSrVxLSYw9nAlYNVM/5.0.7.3. 23?upload=Y”. The error was: “POSIX error: Invalid argument” (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:22) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
    Anyone seen this before? I have replaced safari with a new version of it.

    Hi Thomas
    The usual reason for this error is if Safaris cache has been disabled, either manually, or by some 3rd party app like Safari Enhancer.
    Use the Finder to view the folder /Home/Library/Caches/Safari/ ctrl-click on the Safari folder & choose 'get info' . Uncheck the 'locked' box if it is locked & make sure that the 'ownership & permissions' is set so that you can read and write.

  • POSIX Error - crippled

    "Safari can't open the page http://.......The error was: "POSIX error: no buffer space available (NSPOSIXErrorDomain55)
    I can not get access to the internet and I lost all my printers on the wireless and can not send or receive email in any mail app. I can ping my computer from the router however and all other computers (MAc and PC) are fine. It looks like I'm connected. (wired and wireless)
    I repaired the disk and permissions, ran TechTool. Can anyone help????
    Thanks in advance

    'Google' for "POSIX error: no buffer space" or "NSPOSIXErrorDomain" and you will have your answer.

    How can I close out the page I am working on in safari when error boxes keep popping up?

    What do the error messages say ?

  • Hi, I have a mid 2010 13" MacBook Pro and I keep getting a POSIX error when trying to format my new harddrive. Help?

    Hi guys, one day I turned my MacBook Pro on and it was frozen at the login screen, so I did a hard shutdown and restarted it just to get a blank white screen that didn't change. So I took it to the apple store for a genius appointment and they diagnosed the problem as a failed hard drive. So I got a new hard drive and bought snow leopard installation disc since I didn't have my original installation anymore and installed the new harddrive. I go to disc utility to erase it and create a new partition on it so the Mac will recognize it as a viable option to install snow leopard on, and I get a POSIX error that says: "the operation could not be completed. Cannot allocate memory."
    So I call Apple and I'm told that it could very possible be the hard drive cable which is failing me here and not allowing the connection to the HDD. So I ordered the appropriate one on Amazon for my make and model (can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004VSZCL4/ref=ya_aw_oh_pit)
    A lot of the reviews say a new one of these cables fixed their problems with the POSIX error, so I'm wondering what you guys think of this? And if you have any other ideas that could help out?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Zach

    Zachy,
    It goes something like this...
    Put your new drive in the enclosure. Use Disk Utility to format it, etc. I'd give it a slightly different name than the original. Let's say you have Old Disk and New Disk as your drive names. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Old Disk to New Disk. Now you should have an exact copy, which you can test by rebooting and holding down the Option key. Choose New Disk from the list and let it boot, make sure all is well.
    Shut down and physically swap the drives. Take Old Disk and put it in the enclosure. Now your system has a new disk with a lot more space and you can reformat your old disk and just use it for large files or whatever.

  • Carbon and POSIX error codes

    Hi,
    Where can I find Carbon and POSIX error codes and their explanation?
    I'm specifically researching POSIX error 102 and Carbon error -1401
    Thanks

    Check the list in /usr/include/sys/errno.h. The descriptions are sparse but clear.
    As for Steve Krawcke and his google-fu: this page is the top google hit for "posix error 102". Way to go... You could have at least posted the actual full search URL for people. Try to raise the quality, please.
