THE DREADED IMAGE BUFFER ERROR - BACK WITH A VENGENCE IN CS4!

Hi
I apologise in advance for bringing up such an old issue - and I know there is a lot on the net about this issue. But I am really struggling having just upgraded to CS4
I have projects that were created in After Effects CS3 under OSX Leopard. After much forum reading and hours of experimentation, I managed to adjust all the necessary memory and cache settings so that I could render and preview my projects easily.
I undersood what was needed and how to adjust the settings if the "Unable to allocate space for image buffer...." error ever returned.
In AE CS3 - it ALWAYS worked.
Now I have upgraded to CS4 and Snow Leopard.
Adobe - in their wisdom - have decided to change the memory and cache settings in the preferences dialogue box. I can no longer adjust the settings as I used to.
No matter what I do - no matter how I change the settings  - I cannot render my projects.
Why is this now happening.
I don't need to upgrade my machine (Mac - Intel 2 x 3ghz Quad core - 12 gig memory)
Plus the fact that it worked perfectly in AE CS3.
If anyone knows how to reslove this issue - what settings to play with in AECS4 - I would be so grateful.
Thanks in advance
Casey Dobie

Regarding the changes to the Memory & Multiprocessing preferences for After Effects CS4: The changes were intended to make adjusting the preferences easier. Most people had a hard time understanding the old preferences.
Have you updated to After Effects CS4 (9.0.2)? There are some problems with Snow Leopard that the 9.0.2 update addresses. Can you tell us some things about the composition that is giving you problems, like frame sizes you're working with and other factors that affect RAM usage?
First, check to make sure that Render Multiple Frames SImultaneously is off and RAM To Leave For Other Applications is set to a very low number. You want to give a single rendering process of After Effects all of the RAM that it can take so that it can render the frame that is giving you the error.

    I can highlight copy and paste from other web screens with no problem.
    The chat window however doesn't give access to the lines that have scrolled past the window so highlighting the text won't work. Other chat windows grab the entire text when the user clicks on the copy link or icon.
    I just installed firefox and haven't tried other chat windows to see if the problem could be repeated.

  • Cannot find my "Pictures folder" in Finder and was using the "all Images" selection to fiddle with my pictures.  Now I think I may have screwed iPhoto up

    Cannot find my "Pictures folder" in Finder and was using the "all Images" selection to fiddle with my pictures.  Now I think I may have screwed iPhoto up

    Hi jamesxio,
    Do you still have the Pictures folder in your home folder? If not, create a new folder in your home folder and name it Pictures. Make sure the iPhoto Library folder is in the Pictures folder.
    Now launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed until you get a message screen. Choose to open another library and navigate to and highlight the iPhoto Library folder. Click the Open button.
    You didn't move anything around or rename anything in the iPhoto Library folder in the finder, did you?

  • What is the easiest way to wrap photos with text in ps CS4?

    What is the easiest way to wrap photos with text in ps CS4?

    InDesign handles text much better that either Illustrator or Photoshop.
    In InDesign there is more than one way to put a frame around a paragraph:
    Select the text frame, go to Object menu - Text Frame Options and set the Inset Spacing to keep the text away from the frame edge.
    Then select the text frame with the selection tool (black arrow) check the Fill/Stroke icon at the bottom or the tool box and make sure the Stroke is selected, and choose a Stroke width from the tool bar at the top of the screen.
    Or you can do it a quick and dirty way by just drawing another frame and place it on top of the text frame. Give this frame a Stroke and make sure the Fill is set to None.
    I selected both frames in this example simply to show that they are two separate frames. The first method (above) only produces one frame.
    Your original question was regarding text wrap, the third example shows text wrapping around the photo.
    Place or type your text. Place your image and go to the Window menu - Text Wrap. You can set the Offset margins individually to keep the text away from the edge of the image.
    For things like this InDesign is definitely the best way to go.

  • How do i get the web,images,videos bar back?

    how do i add the browse web,images,videos bar back?

    The Firefox 29 beta release has the Australis interface that looks different than the user interface in the Firefox 28 and previous releases.<br>The Firefox menu button is gone and you now have the three bar Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.
    You can install the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis code in Firefox 29.

  • Since downloading the 2013 Keynote upgrade, the slide image size on handouts with 3 slides per page option is very small. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping 3 slides per page   lines?

    With the new Keynote upgrade (version 6.1), the slide image size on handouts is very small, which makes it difficult to read slide content when compiling lecture notes for students. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping to a format of 3 slides per page with lines?

    A number of posts have reported the same issue, two workarounds:
    1
    check the paper handling options or equivalent in your print dialogue box and set to scale to fit

    in the Keynote option, in the dropdown menu in the Print section, select Individual Slides
    then choose Layout, and set the number of pages, when printed you will have multiple pages on a single sheet.

  • What file format are the transparent images on "Get Started with Pages"?

    I can not figure out the file format used for "Masked"/"Clipped"/"Transparent"/"Outlined" images on "iPad Page"s such as the "Butterfly"or "Giraffe". I have tried using Transparent PNG files but they do not work. I was thinking of using Transparent Tiff or PSD files but I thought I would see if anyone knew the answer first.
    Thanks,
    Ryan.

    Glad to hear it worked for you.
    I think the issue is that before iPad, the iPhone OS did fine saving everything as a JPG. And I'm sure most users of Pages for iPad will never have need of dealing with a transparent PNG. It's those that are using these apps to push the bounds that see the possibilities and get somewhat frustrated with the workarounds.
    Your feedback to Apple would be helpful in future changes.

  • The google images format changed back from new to the old

    I used to have the new google images format where there were suggestions at the top of the page, you could magnify an image by clicking on it an scroll easily through photos. Something happened I guess and it's back to the old format where there are tiny thumbnails and in order to see it full sized you have to click on it, it leads you to a website and in order to see other pictures, you have to go all the way back to the google images results page. I've already signed in and out, cleared the cache and cookies and shut down the computer. What else should i do?

    Google's apparently aware of this glitch, and is pursuing a fix, ostensibly:

    You could try to reinstall using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger):
    Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

  • The Dreaded message "Publishing Error"

    Hi Kablin, Apnewbie, or anyone for that matter,
    I recently purchased a MacBook and am new to Mac...
    I have read some of the forum comments and have tried to resolve my "Publishing error" message for my first web test page with no avail.
    Varkgirls comments and a few other threads suggested various alternatives:
    I have carried out the deletion on the .plist file in the Domain - no problem...
    I have run a repair on keychain (and not quite sure how Keychain truly works)... I did change access to allow for "all sites"; though when i entered ny password the 'Allow Once' Button was only highlighted instead of the 'Allow always' (why? perhaps you can answer this later).
    First Help please - i created a folder "Web" in my iDisk and now it tells me I have no permission rights to rename or delete it. I can access iDisk from the net however there is no icon to delete the new "Web" folder on the internet-window. I am logged on as administrator.
    I read Apnewbie notes and followed thorough with moving my test site to the folder called sites on iDisk on the net. Yes, I moved the folder and the index across...
    Note the folder 'sites' does not have any other folder inside it as been suggested by the forum that it would contain folders 'web' and inside that 'iWeb'!!!
    Second Help please - from safari I next tried the suggested URL http://web.mac.com/motiondreams/iWeb/eddierodgers/Welcome.html
    and i get back an error message.
    obviously the URL is wrong..
    I am using a Macbook and have a full .Mac account; OSX 10.4.8; iWeb 1.1.2
    i am directly hooked up to my ADSL2 modem, and will also be checking with my service provider on the firewall, proxy, if any issues exitst.
    I reside in Australia so its sure going to be a slow process to get me sorted here. However, I truly would appreciate your help (or anyone who is also reading this)... and thanking you.
    MacBook 2 core Duo (Black)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Rodgered,
    Sorry I missed your post yesterday.
    For starters, how large is your site? Highlight your Domain file and Command+I to get the size. A lot of network timeout errors have been coming from your part of the world lately. This may be the problem if you are trying to publish a large site or one with a lot of blog entries.

  • The Dreaded Xilinx Fatal Error

    Hi All,
    I've got a PXI-7813R and several C series modules.
    When I added some code to retreived LSB weights and offsets, after a while I started getting a compile error repeatedly, and I haven't found a way past it yet.  I saw several posts regarding different fatal errors, but so far I haven't been able to figure out what I've done to make the FPGA gods angry.
    Here's the important part of the error message:
    Mapping all equations...
    FATAL_ERROR:Xstortability/export/Port_Main.h:127:1.17 - This application has discovered an exceptional condition from which
    it cannot recover.  Process will terminate. For more information on this error, please consult the Answers Database or open a
    WebCase with this project attached at http://www.xilinx.com/support.
    ERROR:Xflow - Program xst returned error code 1. Aborting flow execution...
    Would someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction?  In the meantime, I'm backtracking and attempting to isolate the issue.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Thanks once again, Basset Hound. 
    I had tried the instructions in that document the other day without success, but it worked today.  I think I'd made a silly syntactical error before like forgetting the semicolon.  For anyone else who comes across "Port_Main.h:127:1.17", here are the exact modifications I made to vhdl_area.opt, literally spelled out:
    # Global Synthesis Options
    "-keep_hierarchy SOFT";           # Fix outlined in the NI document           
    "-ifn <synthdesign>";             # Input/Project File Name
    That was very helpful, and all seems to be well for now (fingers crossed).  Now I can get back to concentrating on the problem from my last thread. 
    Cheers,
    Jim

  • The dreaded map loader error

    Hi,
    I've just gotten a new N95 8GB and am trying to download some maps to my phone. I have run the maps application on the phone and successfully connected the phone via USB in data transfer mode. The problem is I am getting the following error:
    "An unexpected error occurred. Try again. Sorry for the inconvenience."
    I've searched everywhere for a solution but without any luck. Sompe people reported proxy/firewall issues but I am running from a home connection and even moved my PC coonected to my phone into the DMZ without luck.
    Has anyone been able to solve this problem or should I give up and keep what is left of my hair on my head?
    grantonstar

    I've been trying to get the maps via Nokia Map Loader 1.2.1. I just installed .net framework 3.0 and reinstalled with no luck either.
    I've been using it with my home wifi connection but I want to be able to download a whole country so the map data is there for when I go out. Unless there is a way to pre-get a region or country direct from the phone?

  • What is the best image characteristic for use with an environment layer?

    CS6, Win7, HPz820
    I have watched several tutorials on the use of the environment layer and each has a nifty experience with the image the imported.
    When I do it, it looks like this without the Environment layer effect attached:
    And this way then I apply the environment layer:
    Is there a way to select the image so it will maximize the quality of the image when the effect is applied. I tried  a stitched image of several photos done in PS, with a better outcome but still a lot of distortion.

    As Mylenium says, the environment layer's purpose is to provide reflections and such for 3D layers in a scene. The distortion that you're referring to is because the layer is being formed into a spherical shell surrounding the 3D scene so that reflections can come from any direction.
    If you want a layer to serve as both an environment layer and as a visible layer, you'd use two copies of the layer, with one set as an environment layer to appear in reflections only.
