Why do I get out of memory for applications on start up Mac OS10.6.8 with Firefox 7.0.1?

Using Firefox 7.0.1 on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 and NO OTHER applications running, I am consistently getting the message that Your Mac OS X startup disk has no mor space for application memory. It is happening whenever I try to do something using Firefox or use any application now. I have deleted six applications in the app folder and that has made no difference. I see a note about iPhoto plugin 6. I have iPhoto 9 app.

Hi RJBP-
Here is a Support article on how to troubleshoot Firefox with high memory usage:
[[High memory usage]]
Hope that helps.

Why do I get out of memory errors when 10GB memory is free?

I am on HP UNIX 64bit 11.23 titanium, running Oracle 10.2.0.3. . My server has 24GB memory and of that 10GB is free (as seen in glance). When I doing oracle exp or rman commands, I get:
ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 1049112 bytes (KSFQ heap,KSFQ Buffers)
I checked both rman and exp are 64bit executables, so they should be able to access all the memory on the system.

I have just one parameter in init.ora sga_target which controls everything in SGA. hw two instance I was reporting porblem have sga_target of 256M and 192M, Problems happen off and on, but 9 to 10GN free memory is alwyas available on server.
Her is more information on the problem:
1.     I do not think problem is with ulimit, but something is definitely not set correctly. Ulimit -a
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) 4194300
stack(kbytes) 131072
memory(kbytes) unlimited
coredump(blocks) 4194303
parameters are reasonable.
2.     I have 10GB free memory. I run simple java command
Java
it works.
3.     Now I increase memory for sga_target for one of my Oracle instance from 256M to 512M. I only hav eon eparameter sga_traget which controls everything in SGA. There are many other Oracle instances on the server. My Oracle instance starts without problems.
4.     I now run java, it gives me:
Out of memory error, so Oracle has exhausted some memory (probably shared memory) which is needed by java. I still have 9-10GB memory on my server, so why java is not using this memory.
5.     After iOracle instance starts, off and on Oracle backups fail with ORA- error (not enough memory) I reported earlier.
I hope HP engineers can figure this out.

Why i'm getting out of memory exception when trying to comparing two Lists ?

First this is a paint event.
In the paint event i draw a rectangle and then adding the pixels coordinates inside the rectangle area to a List:
private void pictureBox1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
if (cloudPoints != null)
if (DrawIt)
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, rect);
pointsAffected = cloudPoints.Where(pt => rect.Contains(pt));
CloudEnteringAlert.pointtocolorinrectangle = pointsAffected.ToList();//cloudPoints;
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(pictureBox1.Width, pictureBox1.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
CloudEnteringAlert.Paint(e.Graphics, 1, 200, bmp);
I'm drawing a rectangle thats the rect(Rectangle) variable and assigning to pointsAffected List only the pixels coordinates that are inside the rect area ! cloudPoints contain all the pixels coordinates all over the image !!! but pointsAffected contain only
the coordinates of pixels inside the rectangle area.
Then the mouse up event:
private void pictureBox1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
StreamWriter w = new StreamWriter(@"c:\diff\diff.txt");
pixelscoordinatesinrectangle = new List<Point>();
pixelscoordinatesinrectangle = pointsAffected.ToList();
DrawIt = false;
for (int i = 0; i < trackBar1FileInfo.Length; i++)
DrawIt = true;
trackBar1.Value = i;
LoadPictureAt(trackBar1.Value, sender);
pictureBox1.Load(trackBar1FileInfo[i].FullName);
ConvertedBmp = ConvertTo24(trackBar1FileInfo[trackBar1.Value].FullName);
ConvertedBmp.Save(ConvertedBmpDir + "\\ConvertedBmp.bmp");
mymem = ToStream(ConvertedBmp, ImageFormat.Bmp);
backTexture = TextureLoader.FromStream(D3Ddev, mymem);
scannedCloudsTexture = new Texture(D3Ddev, 512, 512, 1, Usage.Dynamic, Format.A8R8G8B8, Pool.Default);
Button1Code();
pictureBox1.Refresh();
newpixelscoordinates = new List<Point>();
newpixelscoordinates = pointsAffected.ToList();
if (pixelscoordinatesinrectangle != null && newpixelscoordinates != null)
IEnumerable<Point> differenceQuery =
pixelscoordinatesinrectangle.Except(newpixelscoordinates);
// Execute the query.
foreach (Point s in differenceQuery)
w.WriteLine("The following points are not the same" + s);
else
am1 = pixelscoordinatesinrectangle.Count;
am2 = newpixelscoordinates.Count;
//MessageBox.Show(pixelscoordinatesinrectangle.Count.ToString());
w.Close();
Once i draw the rectangle when finish drawing it i'm creating a new List instance and store the pixels in the rectangle area in the pixelscoordinatesinrectangle List.
Then i loop over trackBar1FileInfo that contains for example 5000 images files names from the hard disk.
This is the problem part:
pictureBox1.Refresh();
newpixelscoordinates = new List<Point>();
newpixelscoordinates = pointsAffected.ToList();
if (pixelscoordinatesinrectangle != null && newpixelscoordinates != null)
IEnumerable<Point> differenceQuery =
pixelscoordinatesinrectangle.Except(newpixelscoordinates);
// Execute the query.
foreach (Point s in differenceQuery)
w.WriteLine("The following points are not the same" + s);
else
am1 = pixelscoordinatesinrectangle.Count;
am2 = newpixelscoordinates.Count;
I'm doing refresh for the pictureBox1 so it will go one each image to the paint event and will create a new List pointsAffected will have each time a different pixels coordinates.
So newpixelscoordinates should be with new pixels coordinates each loop itertion.
Then i'm comparing both Lists newpixelscoordinates and pixelscoordinatesinrectangle for a different items.
And write those who are not the same to a text file.
So i'm getting a very large text file with many pixels coordinates that are not the same in both Lists.
The problems are:
1. Does the comparison i'm doing is right ? I want to compare one list index against other listi ndex.
For example in the List newpixelscoordinates in index 0 if i have x = 233 y = 23 and in the List pixelscoordinatesinrectangle in index 0 there is x = 1 y = 100 then write this as not the same to the text file.
What i want to do is to check the whole List items against the other List items and if some of the items are not the same write this items to the text file.
Next itertion new image new Lists with new pixels coordinates do the same comparison.
The List pixelscoordinatesinrectangle is not changing it's storing the first pixels coordinates when i drawed the rectangle first time. Only the List newpixelscoordinates change each time, Should change each itertion.
2. The exception i'm getting is on the line:
newpixelscoordinates = new List<Point>();
I added this line since i thought maybe i didn't clear it each time but it didn't help.
Before adding this line the exception was on the line:
newpixelscoordinates = pointsAffected.ToList();
The exception is: OutOfMemoryException: Out of memory
System.OutOfMemoryException was unhandled

I think you could use “Object.Equals” and the link below might be useful to you:

>> OutOfMemoryException: Out of memory
This error is very common, and when there is not enough memory to continue the execution of a program, it would be thrown.
It would be helpful if you could provide us a simple code to reproduce your issue.

Converting to PDF - getting Out of Memory??

using CS3. Ive tried converting in press quality and smallest size and both give me out of memory. Have tried printing to PDF and get out of memory. Have tried dropping the INDD file into Acrobat Pro and get out of memory. Have tried printing to POstscript and get out of memory. I know I have plenty of hard drive space and ram so thats not a problem, I also convert to PDF's all the time and still can with other files but not this stubborn one. The only thing unique about this file is that its 36"x72" but its just basic text and a single not-so-great quality TIF enlarged in the background. What could be causing this?

its not really large of a file at all except for in dimensions but ive done poster sized stuff before with no probs. It never gave me any spicific errors other than just "OUt of Memory", nothing mentioned about DLL's. Out of curosity, I took off the feathering edges that I had on the background graphic and well, it worked! I have no idea why the feathering would have to do with it running out of memory but I guess Ill just have to deal with it with no feathering till I figure out otherwise

Playing video from a capture device - Out of memory for video buffers?

Hello guys, I'm having problems playing video from a video capture device when not using JMStudio. When I use JMStudio, the video plays real time with no problems, but when I use code taken from a java book which is a simple Media Player, I get the following error:
"Error is Error: Out of memory for video buffers."
My capture device is working and I don't know why i get this error when trying to watch the video feed from a program other than JMStudio. I also tried different code that has worked in the past with the same exact capture device and I still get the same error. Please help, I have no clue at this point. The code for the simple media player is below, it's taken out of the book "Java: How to Program (4th edition)":
Thanks in advance, I am very greatful
Miguel

and I get the same error.

Hi,
I am developing a windows phone 8 silver light application .
In my app I am displaying images in web browser control one by one , those images are the web links , the problem is after displaying 2 to 3 images I am getting out of memory exception .
I searched for this exception how to over come , everybody are saying memory profiling ,..etc but really I dont know how to release the memory and how to clear the memory .
In some sites they are adding this
<FunctionalCapabilities>
<FunctionalCapability Name="ID_FUNCCAP_EXTEND_MEM"/>
</FunctionalCapabilities>
by doing this am I free from out of memory exception?
Any help ,
Thanks...

Excel 2011 version 14.4.8 running on an iMac gets "out of memory" messages.

HELP!!! Excel 2011 running on an iMac with OS 10.10.2 and 16GB Ram gets "out of memory" messages. When I monitor processes with "Activity Monitor", I am using less than half of my RAM. The Excel workbook has many sheets and also some macros. The basic workbook has been running for about two and half years starting in August 2012 without any problems until I upgraded to Yosemite in early December 2014. Now I often have to restore the entire file content because it gets corrupted after not being able to save the file because of the "out of memory" message. I can take a file and its content that ran fine a year ago and run it today and it will eventually get corrupted and get the "Out of memory" message after saving/quitting/re-opening the file any where from 6 to 15 to 25 times. I think I need to have more memory allocated to Excel, but Yosemite doesn't provide any way for the user to interact with the memory management process. I have also experienced the very same problem on my MacBook Pro that runs Yosemite. I have worked file/path name length issues, closely inspected the macros that normally don't run except when activated with a user pressed button, and made sure I don't have any weird links within the workbook or even links to another file outside the workbook. This problem seems to get worse as a continue to fill up the spread sheet with more financial data. This Excel workbook is used to manage my club's finances; I am the club treasurer. I have searched the internet for clues about similar problems and have found none!
My iMac is a 27-inch, Late 2009 with a 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 Processor. It includes 16GB of 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM. The hard drive is a fussed 1TB rotating HD with 128 GB SSD. This hardware has been running for about 27 months. I am a very advanced Mac user that programs Excel and Filemaker and repairs Macs for others.

I am a very advanced Mac user that programs Excel and Filemaker and repairs Macs for others.
I am a not a very advanced Mac user that uses programs like Excel and Filemaker and avoids any repairs of Macs for others
Given the caveat, have you tried reinstall of Office? Your MS Office 2011 may have become corrupted. After upgrading to Yosemite I had to reinstall my Office 2011. No crashes.
The current version of Office 2011 is 14.4.8.
First - find your Office 2011 install disc with the product key # - and only then remove Office according to MS instructions
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768
Or go here to DianefromOregon's site for help removing Office 2011:
http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/12/office-for-mac-2011-remove-office/
Then Reinstall from DVD
Then enter your Product #
After successfully reinstalling Office 2011, update your Office product using the Software update within Office called Microsoft Update or going to the Help menu within Word or Excel or PowerPoint and select Update.
It may take a few times before you get to final upgrade to current Office version.
It should be 14.4.8 as of current date.

Photoshop keeps on getting out of memory error after installing Premier Pro

I just upgrade my CS to CC. Yesterday I installed Photoshop and did my work without any problem but today after installing Premier and After Effect, I keep on getting out of memory error when I'm working even though I don't have any other application running accept photoshop alone. The file I'm working on is a small file, iphone plus size interface. Basically I can open the file, add blur effect and try to type text I will get photoshop telling me that my system is out of memory. Restarting photoshop give the same problem, restarting my computer give the same problem, ie do one thing and next will give memory not enough.
I don't think my system is slow as it is workstation with dual processor and 12 gig of ram, windows 7 64bits 1gb dedicated memory for graphic card.
I uninstall Premier and After Effect and suddenly the problem go away. Photoshop work as per normal. I didn't have the time to reinstall premier again but will try to do it tonight or tomorrow
Anyone experience such problem before?

When you get that error leaver the error showing and use something the can show you how much free disk space there is left on Photoshop scratch disk. It may be a problem with scratch storage space not ram storage space. I see Photoshop use much more scratch space the ram. I have seen Photoshop using less than 10GB of ram on my machine leaving 30GB of free ram on my system unused while using over 100GB of scratch space.

Getting 'Out of memory' error while opening the file. I have tried several versions of Adobe 7.0,9.0,X1. It is creating issue to convert PDF into TIFF. Please provide the solution ASAP

Hello All,
I am getting 'Out of memory' error while opening the file. I have tried several versions of Adobe 7.0,9.0,X1.
Also, it is creating issue to convert PDF into TIFF. Please provide the solution ASAP.

I am using Adobe reader XI. When i open PDF it gives "OUT of memory" error after scrolling PDF gives another alert "Insufficient data for an image". after clicking both alerts it loads full data of PDF. It is not happening with all PDFs. couple of PDFs are facing this issue. Because of this error my software is not able to print these PDFS into TIFF. My OS in window7*64. I tried it on win2012R2 and XP. Same issue is generating there.
It has become critical issue for my production.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
If it was an audiobook then they are one-time only downloads, to get it on your other devices you need to sync it to them and not re-download it oneach. You can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you for the second and third downloads : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Will Apple get out a fix for iOS6? it's terrible

Will Apple get out a fix for iOS6? it's terrible

Since the very first iphone/ipod/ipad, Apple has consistently released software updates/improvements/bug fixes.
There is no reason to believe that they will stop doing this now.

Hi
Are you using a wireless router to connect to the internet? if so disconnect the wireless router and connect through LAN. Ensure you disconnect all your wirless devices including a wirless dongle if you are using one. Once connected through LAN download again. This worked for me today.
