Warning- extend your available memory to allow other programs to close

Go to Settings>General>About>Available How much available space do you have?
Or it could be saying you don't have sufficient RAM because you have too many apps open.
For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

My MacBook pro 2012 Mountain Loin 8.2 don't clear the inactive memory automatically when memory needed for other program so I get page outs.

My MacBook Pro 2012 Mountain Loin 8.2 doesn't clear the inactive memory automatically when memory needed for other program so I get page outs. There are much inactive memory when page outs. Why my mac does this?

That's completely normal. If other programs require memory then the system will reallocate Inactive RAM as needed. Page Outs don't mean anything.
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

Firefox has started using up my available memory significantly slowing other open programs.

When I am doing research or writing I have Firefox open with multiple tabs running as well as Microsoft Office applications. Within a short period of time, the entire computer slows down. System processes show 100% of CPU used with Firefox eating up about 80%. When I close Firefox and then disable that process, all other programs and computer speed return to normal. I'm only using 1/3 of the available memory. I use Windows 7 and have 3g of physical memory.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

When maximised, Firefox will not allow other programs/folders/files etc to display ...

When Firefox v7.0.1 is open and maximised; if I then open another program or folder or file etc, it remains hidden/covered by the Firefox window.
I'm not sure if you call this 'focus' or what but it doesn't happen all of the time ... but when it does, it's very annoying and inconvenient ! I'm not sure if this 'issue' is in any way connected with Firefox's blocking of the scroll window capture feature in Techsmith's 'Snagit' ... but either way, it's a real pain !
I'm using the default 'theme' with the semi transparnet header bar ... if that's relevant in any way ???

Thank you ... but yes, I know that already.
THe query really was regarding the bizarre behaviour of the browser and reasons why it was behaving like this ... not on how to work round it.

Increasing Available Memory

Is it possible to increase available memory in Appleworks so it can open larger files, such as templates?

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Doug!
OS X manages memory for you, there is no way to change the memory setting on your own. Adding memory to your machine, or closing some other programs while you are running AW will give the OS more to work with. How much memory do you have? What problems are you having when opening templates?

My iPad is double downloading iTunes TV series shows and when I delete, the extra show does not delete from the available memory. I have lost almost 30GB of my 64 to this phantom shows.

I am losing available memory on my iPad (64 GB 3rd gen) and it appears to lose memory because some TV shows that I have downloaded from iTunes are appearing twice in my downloads. Both download, but when Only appear as 1 show on my "videos". After viewing the show, I delete, but the duplicate show appears to be still there somewhere (not visible anywhere) taking up the same amount of memory that showed before downloading. It reduces my available memory to download other shows. The general settings do not show any of these phantom shows taking any memory, but the total available is much, much less than what is showing for all usage such as music, videos, photos, apps, etc
Is it possible to delete a show from the download portion of iTunes if you have already seen a show and do not want to waste time or memory downloading again? The only way that I know is to let it download completely and the delete from "Videos".

John0618. Did you ever get a response or solution to problem? I have the same problem (starting about three months ago).

How can I use fonts found in iDVD 08 in other programs?

I created a DVD using 6.0 Themes, Pass Through in particular, by exporting a slideshow movie from iMovie 06 and it looks great. Thank you's to forum members for the help I needed to resolve issues. Deleting the plist files and burning at 2 times speed did the trick to problems I encountered. But here's one I've been spending lots of time on: I used the font, Humana Serif Md ITC TT, on the DVD and I would like to use it on the printed cover, however, I can't access it from any other program. I've used Spotlight to no avail and it does not present itself on the list of available fonts on any other program I have. How can I use that font in Pages to use on my printed DVD cover?

Kool! I just learned something new myself. (thanx Niel)
It's essential that you do exactly as stated above while holding down the option key in the instructions that were kindly provided above. The option key serves to copy these files to an alternate location if I'm not mistaken. Holding down any other key but Option may have an unintended effect on the application itself.
So please do exercise caution while working within the Resources folder / showing package contents.

Does setting up a personal hot spot allow other people to use up your cellular data

by setting up your own personal hot spot does it allow other people to use up you cellular data?

Basically yes. Personal Hotspot means you are sharing out your Cellular Data connection.
If you give the Hotspot password to someone they will use your Cellular data to access the internet.

I want to back up my iPad so I can changeover to the ipad2 but my pc doesn't have enough memory to allow me to update. I've deleted everything I can in order to get more memory but cannot is there any other way to do it?

I think you misunderstand... iCloud backups are stored in the cloud and not on the PC. So, if you do an iCloud backup, it won't take up room on the PC.
But, if you want to transfer the iTunes purchases over, set up Home Sharing. Also, see this link.

I regularly have 15 MB of Available Memory - Should I upgrade or is there an issue I should solve first? EtreCheck report pasted below

Hello,
My MacBook is running super slow. I downloaded Memory Clean from the App Store and I regularly have 15MB or free memory available.
In Activity Monitor I usually see the following:
~800 MB kernel_task
~500 MB softwareupdated
~500 MB Image Capture Extension
In Console, I see mdworker.bundle errors attributed to UID's: 501, 503, 1422
My current UID from what I can tell is 502. Other UID's left over from various upgrades are 89, 99, 235.
Lastly, Drive Genius is giving me a Drive Integrity Warning. But I can't create a bootable clone.
I have no idea if the above problems are related. I'd like to think I just run a lot of stuff that eats my memory and upgrading the RAM would be the easy path. What say you all?
-Jeff

Issue with turning on project 2010 / 2013 - "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."

I get the following error after the installation and configuration window of MS Project: "There is not enough memory to complete the operation. To free up available memory, close programs, projects, or windows you aren't using, and then try again."
It happens both with MS Project 2010 and 2013 on a Windows 7 desktop.
I tried installing / uninstalling Office 2010, MS Project, tried installing 32 and then 64 bit versions, clean up, disk error checker, startup changes (msconfig), anti virus, running as Windows 7 and then Windows XP compatible mode.
Nothing helps. I see this issue reported as early as 2007 version of MS projects on Microsoft forums, but I do not see any solution anywhere. Any suggestions on how to fix the issue without having to reformat hard drive? Every other application, including
all other Office programs work seamlessly.
I also tried Microsoft support, after an hour and a half of basically doing what I did before, I was told I have to pay 99$ for "premium" support, so someone can look at this bug.
I have 16 Gb RAM and more than 200Gb or hard drive free, so actual memory is not the problem.

This issue was originally reported with MS Project 2007 and keeps popping up since.
A quick Google search provides more than 200K pages of results of this issue:
https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=There+is+not+enough+memory+to+complete+the+operation.+To+free+up+available+memory%2C+close+programs%2C+projects%2C+or+windows+you+aren't+using%2C+and+then+try+again.
And 193K results on Bing:

Computer was defragged already. I run more tests, and specifically when MS Projects tries to run, it tries to take all memory, more than 300Gb, on the computer. (DropBox was running at the same time, and warned that there were no space. As soon as MS Project
stopped attempting to configure itself, everything came back to normal and the available space became available again.)
Looking through older forum posts, looks like this application tries to take "unlimited" amount of memory. Some registry fixes are mentioned potentially, but I was not able to apply them.
Since everything else works, this is a MS Project bug reported by multiple users on various versions of Windows, including Vista and 7, so please provide a fix and not 'not a know bug' lie. All the premium support will say, is to format the hard drive, unless
they have a patch or a registry edit solution. If the latter is true, since the issue exists for multiple years, it should have been already been provided to users.
Also, I am not running a SQL server, or any server, this is an installation on a local machine.

"Warning! Not Enough Memory!" A bug in Logic 7.1?

Hello,
I seem to have discovered a bug in my Logic 7.1, and would like to see if this is a system specific bug, or a bug in everyones Logic. It seems to occur in the Matrix editor which results in the error ""Warning! Not enough memory! This operation cannot be undone" and follows with the mysterious deletion of random parts, and totally corrupts the file, preventing me from doing any further MIDI edits or even undo the mysterious deleated parts!
Here is how I discovered it. I selected two separate audio instrument tracks (violin and viola) and opened them in the matrix editor. To see both parts at once, I double clicked on the background, resulting in viewing all possible MIDI parts. I then selected from the "show selected regions only" from the view menu to isolate the violin and viola parts. I then copied some notes from the violin part and then double clicked on the viola part and attempted to paste the violin information I copied to the viola part. However, the information would not paste for some reason, so I decided to simply draw in the new notes, and BAM, the error message "Warning! Not enough memory" occurs.
I have been able to replicate this error on my own system on a few occasions, but it doesn't always seem to happen which is strange. I may be able to get around it by making sure I double click and isolate the part I want to copy first, before isolating where I want to copy it to, however I need to test this idea out more often to make sure. In the mean time I have tried "reorganizing memory" in logic, repairing permissions and running all maintenance scripts, Re-installed the OS 10.3.9 update (just incase something didn't install correctly), ran apple "hardware test" in which everything passed, and trashed and rebuild my preferences, and I'm still able to create this error.
I do feel something is wrong here, I was wondering if anyone may be willing to try to duplicate this on their system, just so I can be sure there is a Logic bug, or maybe there is something wrong with my personal setup. (MANY weird things have been happening lately, such as corrupted key commands in my preference files).
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for your comments Rohan. The reason this post was relatively clear headed is because I already went through my "freak out" process earlier that week! But thanks for your comments. I did try to make this post as clear as possible, in the hopes that others could potentially get the same "buggy" results. I guess the problem seems to stem from something bigger then how I arrived at it, but from what I've found researching it, the matrix editor does seem to play a consistent part.
Maybe we should send a quick note to apple, asking them to keep an eye out for this bug?
In answer to your specific questions, the size of my file before the error was 468KB, and the file after I saved the error is 544KB. Not a big enough difference to raise flags, as the error file does contain a few more seconds of music, some different parts, etc. The song itself is only 32 bars long @ 103bpm, and the total bars is set to 266. At the current tempo, the song would end at around 7min, much shorter then an hour. For the record, I have done many longer, more memory and CPU intensive pieces and experienced no such problems (except for the need to freeze a few tracks). For example, I recently scored a film that was heavy in Atmosphere, VSL, and Stormdrum, and ran an uncompressed film file and no problem. Now that I think of it, perhaps it could be an EXS problem even? For those who have experienced this error, were you editing a EXS part?
As for the Key commands problem, I will have to do more research and testing once I upgrade my system. I dont mind loosing my current key commands and preferences and starting again. In fact, I think I can do a better job customizing Logic now that I have a better idea of what it can do. However, if this seems to be a consistent problem, then I may not do too much customizing yet
Thanks again for the post Rohan. I hope everything runs soother in Tiger after a clean install. Any quick tips for optimal Tiger setups?

Excite 10 dribbling Away Available Memory

I have an Excite 10 16gb Tablet. It loses available memory with every use, even if wifi & bluetooth were Off. Several hundred megabytes become unusable with each use, even when NO apps are added, data in form of pictures, videos or documents are created or stored. The sum total of the files and apps using "Storage" in Settings is about 2.7 gb. It says Total space is 12.56gb. but says only .93 gb is Available EVEN THOUGH the bar graph shows about 3/4's of the space is available.(This shows about 9 gb free, but the tab data below says .93 gb or 930 mb) and tabulated numbers for the external SD card all agree. I've watched this available memory steadily decrease especially once it went below 7.0 gb. It's the internal memory (SD Card) that's screwed up. I've gone through this cycle once already. It eventually will go down to only a 100 or so mb available and basically stop working. I factory reset. Reloaded apps and transfered Some data back on to the device and carefully tracked my internal storage with both the Andorid Settings and "File Expert HD"--a 3rd party file manager. For every app installed, and every picture taken or stored, every document created, etc. It's like the device uses memory for temp storage/stystem uses but never releases it when it's finished.
ICS 4.0.3 (as received from factory) AT300 (from Settings/About Tablet Model Number BUT BOX Tag says AT305, Box and internal serial numbers agree)
Kernal and Build number available if needed fromSettings/Device/About Tablet
I understand Apps store Data and have caches. Using Settings/Apps and adding the data for EVERY APP I am still WAY UNDEr 3 gb of Apps, App Data AND CACHES, and user Data (files, pictures, videos, music, yada yada)
Help!

ILife & iWork '08 Install caused dramatic loss of available memory...

I just installed both iLife & iWork '08 on my MacBook Pro laptop. It had approx. 24GB of available memory. After the installation I now have 2.51 GB of memory. I'm also now seeing "Your startup disk is full" error messages. What gives?

Hi Don Wise;
You have overfilled your disk. With the free disk space as low as you now have you are leaving yourself open to poor performance and file corruption. I would start looking at moving files off of the disk to free up space.
You can download WhatSize to help you find out where the disk space is being used.
When you get some more free disk space you should boot from the install media and repair your disk. If you don't do that you will be leaving yourself open to strange problems in the future due to file corruption.

Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications

Hello:
I'm using Excel 2010 and when I try to open several workbooks a message "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications" appears. This happens when I open email attachments from MS Outlook
and files on my C-Drive.
Thank you for your help

Hi NFL1,
Could you tell me which version of office are you using, 32bit or 64bit? You said this issue always happened when open attachments from outlook and files in C-Driver.
For opening attachments from outlook, it might there is a conflict between the preview pane and Excel. You can try to hide the preview pane as a workaround to solve this issue. Please refer to this link:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2526883
It is often the case, if your file is large or contains a large amount of features, it is possible you are running low on available memory resources. If you work with extremely large data sets, the 64-bit version of Office may perform better for you. 32-bit
office you run are limited to making use of only 2GB of RAM. And this is one of the reasons occur the issue, you can via these links to get more information about this issue and detailed methods to solve this problem.

Please try these methods and let me know if they work, I am glad to help and forward to your reply.
Regards,

Warning- extend your available memory to allow other programs to close
