What does it mean when your imovie formatting process stops due to "not enough room in heap zone /"? Thanks.

I am trying to make an imovie from 369 slides I scanned to my computer.  I have the slides in order with titles and music attached.  The next step was formatting it before burning to the DVD.  About 2 hours into the formatting process, it stopped with a message that said "error" and "not enough room in heap zone /"  I don't know what the heap zone is and what to do next.  Thanks for any help.  

I am asking the moderators of the forum to move this discussion to the iMovie forum for fastest assistance with this question.  Good luck

    What does it mean when your whole iphone 5 screen turns green

    It means that you jailbroke your iPhone with redsn0w. There are several known methods to fixing this issue:
    1. Plug it into your computer and restore
    2. Plug it into your computer, then hold the power button for about 6 seconds
    3. Hold the power button and the home button to restart it. As soon as it turns on, plug it into your computer and wait
    4. Time. Sometimes it fixes itself over time.
    I would suggest refraining from jailbreaking your device next time. I know it tempting to do so, but if you want to root your phone or play with emulators, I would suggest an android device. Btw, iOS 7 looks promising for the Apple community. Keep your ears peeled this week during WWDC.

    What does it mean when your ipod is in recovery mode and how do I solve this problem?

    Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
    You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

    Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now.

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    You are probably seeing a USB cable under the iTunes icon. This means the Apple TV is having problems and needs to be connected to iTunes to be Restored. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367

  • What does "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Not enough room in heap zone / )" mean?

    When I click on finalize project in iMovie, an error message comes up that says "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Not enough room in heap zone / )". How do I fix it, and what does it mean?

    re-post in the iMovie forum where all the people that use that software are.  This is the Lion 10.7 forum.

  • How do I export from IMovie when "not enough room in Heap Zone" error code appears?   How can I correct,  what to Do.."export movie" insteand of Media browser or IDVD?  Finalize movie?  I want to burn it to DVD!

    How do I export from IMovie to Wondershare Creator to Make DVD and share hour long movie when I am unable to "publish" movie on Media Browser of IDVD because the error code "not enough room in heap Zone/ " appears and function is aborted. 
    I shortened the movie, that is no cure...Correcting date info on clips does not pertain.  Why would Apple throw roadblocks in your way without solving problems they create?
    A techie made an appointment on the phone and was totally incapable of addressing the problem.
    What is a heap zone????

    Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
    If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
    Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
    Under the Video section click on Settings...
    Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead.

    SO I KEEP TRYING TO FINALIZE IMOVIE PROJECT AND... NOT FINALIZE BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH ROOM IN HEAP ZONE?

    The experts at a store told me that this usually is a problem of not having enough memory available for the system to finalize the project.  I moved some movies to a hard drive, but still haven't been able to solve the problem.

  • What does it mean when your computer says that someone is using your IP address

    What does it mean when someone is using your IP address and what should i do...

    Expanding on Bob's explanation, be sure you haven't set a manual IP address, thus being the culprit for this problem. In System Preferences / Network / Advanced... / TCP/IP section, Configure IPv4 should be set to Using DHCP. If that is not the case, then some network miscreant has purloined the IP address your Mac was using.
    First try clicking on the Renew  DHCP Lease and see if the DHCP server figures it out and assigns a different address. Else, try disconnecting from the network (if on Wi-Fi, turn Wi-Fi off in the previous window, if cabled disconnect the patchcord), wait a little while and reconnect. Then hopefully the DHCP server will realize the address was purloined and assign a different one.

  • What does it mean when the message states that "This accessory is not optimized for this Iphone"?

    Since Aug. 20th I have been receiving a message that states " This accessory is not optimized on this iphone", what does that mean, and how do I get id of it?

    If you don't have it plugged into something it means there is 'crud' in the dock connector causing a short and making it think there is something strange plugged in. Clean out the dock connector with a dry toothbrush.

  • What does it mean when your gamecenter says sandbox?

    I was recently on my iPhone 4 and my gamecenter made me sign in again for some reason. I signed in and it made me make a new account. My account says sandbox. All my games, friends, and challenges are gone. I don't know what it means or how to get rid of it. Please help

    Sandbox mode is something you would only see if the iPhone is jailbroken.  Restore the iOS, then restore from a backup (if you have one).

  • What does it mean when the message says " Firefox is running but not responding, in order to use Firfox, close open progams or restart your computer

    I can not find Mozilla or Firefox on the taskbar as open programs so I can not close it? . I end up re starting mu computer .?? What am i doing wrong?
    thanks for your help

    It is often possible to find and kill processes even if not on a taskbar. You will be looking for firefox.exe . I use Windows XP pro and could use the Taskkill command or TaskManager, other OS will have similar facilities .
