Hi
Error -108 memFullErr  Ran out of memory [not enough room in heap zone]
Turn off - TimeMachine usually works - re-try.
(the Application down in the Dock - not the Device)
But this can mean many thing's - My first thought is
• Free Space on Start-Up hard disk. How much ? (other disks do not count)

    Are your event clips in h.264? If so, you can solve this by Right clicking on your Event Name and choose "Optimize Media". You can choose Full for 1080P or Large for 960P according to your preference.
    After you have optimized your Event, you should be able to Share with no problem.

  • What is error -108 in iMovie

    I want to finalise my Imovie film but I get an error number -108.
    What can I do about this?

    When I finalise a project which takes some time, I need to switch of Time Machine.
    If not, it will show an error after a while. I don't know anymore if this was error 108.
    After the project is finalized, I switch Time Machine on again.
    Hope this helps,
    Ivo.

  • What is error code -108

    i created a project in imovie 9.0.4 when i try to export via any method a 1080p video. i get error code -108. what is this code? i dont know if this helps but i am using lion

    Also read this set of directions how one person corrected their problem with Error -108. It might be worth tryinging. He suspects it's the number of projects being kept in the Project Library:

    What does it mean?

    You're triggering a memory-handling bug in the 32-bit CoreGraphics framework. Unfortunately there may be no easy workaround. According to a report, you may be able to Export QuickTime and then export again from QuickTime Player, which (unlike iMovie) is a 64-bit application.

    -108 mean you are running out of (free) RAM.
    Try restarting the computer just prior to sharing. That frees up RAM.

  • Error (-108) & Error (-50)

    To Anyone Who Is Helpful,
    Please help me as this project is very important... I have tried exporting my 15.19mins project in 720p many times and everytime, either one of these errors appear when the export is almost complete...
    1. Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-108)
    2. Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-50)
    I've exported a similar project a week ago and it was perfectly fine. But whereas for this project, it was a complete failure as I've tried exporting it since a week ago, after finishing the export of the previous project.
    May I know how can I solve these problems ASAP as I would need to finish it by this week.
    Any form of help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you in advance!

    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Video codec
    • streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    You need more free space on your hard drive.

    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    Where do Your material come from
    • Camera
    • External hard disk
    • USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

  • IPhoto won't export my slideshow? I get the message (OSStatus error - 108)

    I try to export my slideshow created from a photobook on 80 pages in iPhoto. I think I have tried everything and different formats. I get the message (OSStatus error - 108) no matter what I try. It's a photobook made for my sons 18 years birthday and my plan was to show it to the party this friday.
    So it's a little confusing!
    What to do?
    Regards Helle

    Some folks have fixed exporting issues by reinstalling the app.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Failed: QuickTime Error: -108

    Everytime I try to use Compressor to create a file using the 'HD for Apple Devices (10 Mbps). it fails within seconds with an error message of 'Failed: QuickTime Error: -108' . I only get this on my MacPro 12 core. The Macbook doesn't have this issue. I guess the error lies within Quicktime itself. Any suggestions appreciated!

    OK, Compressor should show up in the list when you click the Purchases button:
    The official way to reinstall is to hold down the Option key while you click the Purchases button. I assume it looks to see if it's installed. If it isn't, then it says Install at the right instead of Installed. Again, this is assuming you've trashed the original program from the Applications folder. I can't remember if it's enough to put it in the trash, or if you have to actually empty the trash, or if it also works if you've copied the App file to an external disk and then disconnect that.
    If yours is not working this way, or if Compressor is not even showing up, then I think one of two things is going on. #1 - is it possible that you have two different Apple IDs and you're signed in with the one that did not make the Compressor purchase? or #2 - there is a problem with your Apple Account and you're going to have to get help from tech support. If it's the correct account but it does not remember what you have purchased, then you need to get that straightened out.
    I'm sorry that you're having these glitches, but this is the accepted technique for reinstalling - I've done it myself.

  • QuickTime: The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -108.)

    I want to record my desktop process with QuickTime (v10) and get the following message:
    The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -108.)
    Anybody know what this could be? How to fix?
    I do get a file that appears to be the recording but it does not want to open. And I do need to force quit QT almost every time teh error appears.
    I am on OS10.6.8.

    Anybody got any suggestion? 
    Is there maybe anywhere where I can download the application again and reinstall?

  • Error -108 occurred while exporting project

    Help!! I am exporting a movie then this error code -108 occured. What shall I do?

    Hey there,
    I had this problem today, and looked all over google to try and find a solution. I have mountain lion retina display 500 SSD, 16GB RAM, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7. I did not understand what could be the problem. I tried reseting my computer, deleting all unused apps, and nothing. I tried re-installing, and nothing.
    Just before I was about to give up I took my 5min long Full HD edit and selected every video in my iMovie and clicked on "Optimize - Original Quality." This operation alone took 30GB of space and have no idea if I will see these 30GB again, but what I know is that after once exporting my error 108 disappeared.
    So my advice, make sure you have a lot of space upfront and optimize the video. Good luck and enjoy
