What does "cannot allocate memory" mean?

what does "cannot allocate memory" mean?
I get this message when I tried to open an app that requires the internet.
I have Wi-fi connection but the apps kept telling me "cannot connect to the internet"
What does this mean?

Check your "http proxy" settings. You may try to use it with "auto".

What does "Out of memory" mean from Keynote?

I have had my macbook for about 5 months, and I am still learning to use the Iwork programs. Today, i tried to open a powerpoint file and I repeatedly receved a "out of memory" notification from Keynotes. What does that mean? And is there a way for me to open this document?
Thanks for any help, in advance!

You should not keep a String array of all the lines of the file read.
Instead for each line read, parse it, then write the parsed line in the other file:      public void loadFixedWidthFile() {
         BufferedReader in = null;
         BufferedWriter out = null;
         try {
            //File must be in same director and be the name of the string below
            in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("files/FLAT.txt"));
            out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("files/outfilename.txt"));
            String str;
            while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
               //System.out.println(str.length());
               str = parseThatLine(str);
               //write out the parsed str to another file
               out.write(str);
         catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace(); // At least print the exception - never swallow an exception
         finally { // Use a finally block to be sure of closing the files even when exception occurs
            try { in.close(); }
            catch (Exception e) {}
            try { out.close(); }
            catch (Exception e) {}
      }//end loadFixedWidthFile()Regards

What does cannot decompress archive mean and how can I fix it?

I am setting up 16 iPads in a cart. I have installed the configurator and was ithe process of "preparing" the iPads. After about 2 hours, all the preparations ended and each iPad had the same error...cannot decompress archive. Does anyone know what this is referring to and if so, how can I fix it?

Also check that you haven't enabled SSL 2 and that SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 are selected.
* Tools > Options > Advanced : Encryption
You can check the ssl and tls prefs on the about:config page.
If any ssl or tls pref is bold (user set) then right-click that pref and choose "Reset" to reset the pref to the default value.
Use the Filter bar at the top with this regular expression:
*/security.*ssl|security.*tls/

On linux, Runtime.exec does a fork and execute. That means that you will need double what your current java process is using in virtual memory(real + swap). Given -Xms12g you will need more than 24g of virtual memory space for your code to work as written. And with vm overhead, more likely a few gigs more.Damn, that sucks. Will adding swap space alleviate the problem?
And if you know, does Windows do the same thing?You need at least as much virtual memory free as the parent process is using to do a Runtime.exec() on Solaris and Linux using Sun's VM. So increasing the swap to the point that there is as much free memory as the parent process is using should alleviate the problem. I agree that this sucks. Other VMs may not have this problem.
I think the Sun VM takes a different approach when it exec() a process in Windows.
One workaround is to run a small vm that acts a proxy. This small vm would listen on a socket and executes anything that comes in on that socket. So the 12g parent process would open up a connection to this small vm process and send the commands to it instead of Runtime.exec() and in turn the small vm process would do the actual Runtime.exec().

Db_load error: Cannot allocate memory

Hi
when I try to import an dump file, i always get this error:
db_load: BDB2055 Lock table is out of available lock entries
db_load: Cannot allocate memory
I executed "db_load -f outdb/outdb2 -h env xass.db"
and i have set max locks by:
dbenv->set_lk_max_locks(dbenv,1000);
but it doesn't work.
What should I do to prevent this problem?
Thanks for your help in advance
Mark
Update:
I have doing some tests, and i found that if I increase the number of locks by "set_lk_max_locks" in DB_CONFIG file, the operation of db_load will success.
The point is that the larger db file may need a very big value of locks, so why "db_load" doesn't release the locks during the running procedure? Is this a bug for bdb?
becuase I can't increase the number of locks infinity!
if not, How can i cause "db_load" release the locks of transaction?
Does anybody can help me?
Mark

Hi Mark,
If you are importing a dump file into an existing environment and opened with the flags of(can have more) DB_INIT_LOCK | DB_INIT_LOG | DB_INIT_MPOOL | DB_INIT_TXN, then it is true you may see the error about "lock table is out of available lock entries" when the dump file is very big. The db_load process will not release the locks since it needs to provent other process from accessing the database being built to provide data consistency in the transactional environment.
The usually way for loading a database from a dump file is to specify an empty directory as the home directory. By this, the database will be created in a private non-transactional environment, and you can copy the database into your running environment after the db_load process finishes.

Using Disc Utility to copy my hard drive to a brand new external drive and am having the error "Unable to create...(Cannot allocate memory)".

I'm not very tech savvy but am trying my best to use Disc Utility to copy my hard drive to a brand new external drive and am having the error "Unable to create...(Cannot allocate memory)".
Last night no problems, woke this morning and it was freezing so I forced a restart and got the grey screen with the folder and question mark. Ran off to best buy to get an external drive... Please help! Thank you!

I have done both. When I hold down the "C" key it pauses for a few seconds while the cd spins and then the flashing folder icon appears.
Could be you have the wrong cd/dvd. The mac will only boot a supported cd/dvd for your machine. The flashing question mark indicdates your machine could not find a valid os.
When I hold down the "option" key for the startup manager the cursor comes up and moves but the actually manager doesn't come up no matter how long I leave the laptop on.
Not sure. Could be your machine does not support the startup manager. You would think the machine would ignore the key.
Where did you get the dvd? What is the number on the DVD?
What machine do you have anyway?

Cannot allocate memory - Concept Explanation Please

Hello all,
Just wanted to confirm something.
I compile a helloword class and the javac does it job.
Now when I am preparing a larger program from ant like so: /usr/local/ant/bin/ant prepareI get:Buildfile: build.xml
[property] java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: Cannot allocate memory
[property] at java.lang.UNIXProcess.<init>(UNIXProcess.java:148)
[property] at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(ProcessImpl.java:65)So more memory is required for different compilations of programs, right?
Is there a way, I can allocate all (most) memory to the javac compiler?
If I have some of my theory and terminology mixed please correct me.
Thanks all

Avoiding java.io.IOException: Cannot allocate memory

I am creating MappedByteBuffers using FileChannel.map(). If I try to map too large a section of a file, I get the following Exception:
java.io.IOException: Cannot allocate memory
at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.map0(Native Method)
at sun.nio.ch.FileChannelImpl.map(FileChannelImpl.java:705)What this does not tell me is how much memory I can allocate. Is there some way to check?
++A

The problem is, it would not be a few milliseconds at the start of the code. I should be making this decision within a loop, for each mapping. One iteration, I might be able to allocate 100kb. The next, I might be able to allocate 500mb.
It would be a mistake to try to allocate either amount every iteration.
The memory allocated by these MappedByteBuffers are being passed to another thread in the process, which will, in time, free them up. Meanwhile, this thread is trying to allocate room for another buffer. If the last buffer created used most of the system's resources, I probably cannot make another of the same size immediately. However, I would like to make one as soon as enough memory is available for it to be worth the effort. When that is the case, I would once again like to grab as much memory as possible in order to get the most time-benefit from the allocation.
I will check into the Runtime.getRuntime.freeMemory() proposal and see how that works.

Thanks in advance.

Noting that you are using a IBM vm and a rather old one at that...
Threads take java memory. Normally the solution is to increase the maximum java heap. Doing that depends on the memory that the system supports and the maximum that the VM allows and the default that it uses.
You might want to verify the command line options you are using. You might want to also find out what happens if you use a larger number or smaller one.
And if all else fails you can use a thread pool rather than trying to create seperate threads.

POSIX reports: The operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory

Hi all.
Please forgive my naivety. I'm a newbie here.
I have searched endlessly to find a solution to my problem, but cannot seem to find one.
I have just replaced a hard drive on a 13" Macbook pro (purchased end of 2009). It developed a fault, and would not boot. When turned on, would only produce a blank screen with a flashing folder featuring a question mark.
When going through disk utility, the system could not detect any internal hard drive, which made me believe it was faulty.
I ordered a 500GB Toshiba Hard Drive, and installed it as it should be. In Disk Utility, the system detects the Toshiba hard drive (it comes up in the list you'd expect it to). Whenever I go to 'Erase' or 'Partition', however, I get the following error message.
"Disk Erase/Partition failed
Disk Erase/Partition failed with the error:
POSIX reports: The operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory"
Is anybody able to offer this novice any suggestions as to what I might do? I have tried some "Terminal" entries, but they don't seem to help in the slightest.
Thanks in advance,
L.
P.S. The Macbook is using Snow Leopard.

Hi again OGELTHORPE.
I've already run two hardware tests. One quick one and one extended one. It was unable to pick anything up.
It's like everything is running perfectly, but when I go to erase the HDD or partition it, it pops up with the error message. Even when I try to erase and partition using "Terminal", I received the same error message.
It's beginning to do my head in, but will see if replacing the SATA cable will make any difference. If it doesn't, I'll hazard a guess it could be the Logic Board.
Thanks again for your suggestions!
