IMac memory is full

My iMac memory is full. Should I attach an external hard drive or can I use a free space of my iCloud account?

RAM is "memory", available disk space is "storage". You get a message saying that your hard drive is full or saying you miss memory of the application? Big difference.

    My boot drive is full, so will not show the dock, I can't see the files to delete and make more space. Safari works well, and the files on the drop down menu Apple I have opened recently, always open, so I don't think that the iMac is broken - full. How can I get files to delete and make more room?

    Start safe mode and delete or move files and applications is no longer, you need or use ff of the drive up you jave enough space. DO NOT delete system files or you could end up with a very unstable system. You can move large libraries like your music, pictures and videos on an external drive.

  • error "memory is full" with writing a file permanently PDM

    Hello world

    I know that the problem of "memory we complete" has been often discussed in this forum, and I have read these messages, but still could not solve the problem.

    We have implemented a test function based on PXI5412 and 5122 modules. The program generates arbitrary waveforms to excite a DUT and acquires its response with digitizer and writing of the data acquired in a TDMS file (~ 40 MB for each measuring point). The program works fine in single point mode, i.e. in quiet passages. However, when I try to run it continuously in a loop TO measure several (up to 1,000) points, the program is always interrupted at halfway when ~ 10 GB of data is recorded with an error "memory is full".

    My computer has 4 GB of RAM and the operating system is Windows XP Professional 32-bit. I checked the RAM usage when the error "memory is full" happened. in fact we at least 2.5 GB unused. I learned that maybe it's because he is not a continuous free space in RAM for data. It is also suggested to increase virtual memory to 3 GB for Labview by modifying the boot.ini file. But after I did the program meets still another error "Invalid TDMS" the file reference, and so I could not write all data to a file of PDM.

    I joined the part of logging of data of my code here. Is there a another way around the problem of memory, as using the same block of memory for buffering of data between the memory of the digitizer and the hard drive?

    cheney_anu,

    I need to know your details of tdms files before I could provide a buffer appropriate setting.

    for example,.

    The current design: you write a tdms 40 GB file that contains 1000 groups (a point a group), each group contains 1,000 channels and each channel contains 1 d I16 table with 20 M of length. (Note: this 40 GB tdms file contains 1000 x 1000 = 1 M channels)

    Change:, you could write 1 d I16 table instead of table I16 2D, which could reduce the number of channel 1 M 1 k, and then reduce the memory usage.

    New design: you write a tdms 40 GB file that contains 1000 groups (a point a group), each group contains 1 channel and each channel contains 1 d I16 array with length 20G (for each point, call 'TDMS write' 1000 times in a "loop For ' and every time write 1 d I16 array with length 20 M). (Note: this 40 GB tdms file contains 1000 x 1 = 1 K channels)

  • LabVIEW: Memory is full

    Hello world!

    I've implemented a treatment algorithm of image enlarged in LabVIEW using lots of Matlab code imported across Mathscript node and when I finish the implementation of the algorithm that I discovered that it works very well for a small number of photos, but it is out of memory if I give her more than 25-30. My intentions are to pass in a database of about 1200 photos, so this very small amount it can handle seems to be a pretty huge problem for me. How can I make the algorithm better scale and manage hundreds or even thousands of photos?

    Here you have my top level VI simply going through a folder containing images and compares them to a reference image. Expected result is to have a table of scores of similarity between each image in the folder and this one reference.

    I have two sub - VI that I understood that they can cause the problem. Properties VI recover did most of the work that takes as input image, lots of calls from Matlab code ".m" files and comes out a bit pattern and the mask of the image. Hamming Distance VI takes then the pictures in the folder model and the mask of the reference image, running the properties for the image in the file VI recover and made some logical operations (XOR, AND) on the models and the masks and exits mark a double precision. The Subvi is called for each image in the file and this is what it looks like:

    As I mentioned earlier, the algorithm works very well for a small number of photos, but when I give her more than 25-30 I get error that "memory is full". I read a few posts on this topic and most of them said to reduce the number of elements of façade, paintings, copies of paintings and each large data structure that uses contiguous allocation, so I tried to do. My only element on the front panel is the table with the final results, but I can't handle the Matlab code too as it's not my code, I just have a permission to use it.

    As a final information that might be relevant, I should mention the size of the images: they are images in grayscale 150 x 200 with a size of about 22-25 KB data.

    Does anyone have an idea how this algorithm works on a scale longer than photos?

    From the point of view of applying it in LabVIEW, I thought that it should work fine by calling it from Matlab code. I mean, why reinvent the wheel if I have the tools to use the existing code?

    Yes, I get the point, and in this case, it looks like you have a decent amount of Matlab code, so that, probably, is not an option.  But if you were on a forum of Matlab Matlab code that called the ActiveX functions in Excel to perform mathematical operations, and return the result, so I expect this forum to tell you also probably should have implemented in Matlab, instead of yelling to an external library.

    Is it possible to perform operations in pieces?  Maybe run a part of the Matlab calls, return a result, then that feed into another call of Matlab?  Without knowing where the allocation of memory and without knowing where large quantities of data are allocated, it is difficult to recommend something with a lot of confidence.

    Still based on the code, I see that I don't expect the number of cases being the material processes.  You only take a double for each processed image.  Thus, even if it takes 1 GB RAM to process an image, once the image is being processed, the memory must be deallocated, other than one number resulting from this image.  Basically what I'm saying, is if it can process 5 images, it should be able to handle 5000 (or more) are you sure that it is not crapping on a particular image?  What happens if you try to just process image that he is unable to deal with?

  • Memory is full (~ 10 GB datalog file)

    Hello

    I developed an application that generates a temporary file (*.csv) record datalog with @10ms. after a trial of ~ 3 days, I need to merge all the temporary files into a single file.

    implementation: to merge into a single file, I calculate the total line is every temp. File and reading k 25 ranks by iteration, and I write in the file main datalog. When the file size reaches ~ 400MB. I have labview: memory is full error. in the loop, I used "deallocation request" palette ", but did not work."

    I enclose the screenshot of the code. Please suggest me a solution


  • Why these two operations to reshape Array cause an error "memory is full" in LV86?

    The attached VI was recorded in LV8.5.
    It's a small piece of code which illustrates how one of my applications use to initialize two 2D-arrays of Im DBL. my request the total amount of memory allocated by this VI is about 450 MB (as in the attached VI) and 2D bays 'live' in the shift registers.
    Now, I tried to check if the application is running in LabVIEW 8.6 and it stops with an error "memory is full".
    I've isolated the problem to this small piece of code and it still does not work without error.
    Curious: The same code runs well in LabVIEW 8.2.1 8.5.1, and 7.1.1... So, where is the difference?
    Best regards, Guenter

    I agree it is strange and deserves to be more looking. There is a solution that seems to help it will not change the functionality of your code. Instead use a loop While and shift uninitialized registers, you can use the comment nodes and none while loop. The attached example exhibits the same behavior as your code, but does not give a low memory error.

    It seems that the only reason it works is not that I use the nodes of comments, but I'm wiring table 2D through from the node of feedback to the constant table, not a 2D array resizing function. If I have the wiring on the other side, it will fail the same way.

    For example, recorded in LV86.

  • Find Permutations using perms in MathScript throws memory is full error

    I use the perms Mathscript function to find the possible permutations of the numbers to a number in a table.  According to the Help function permanent , he agrees to 15 items or less.  I can feed this function up to 9 items, but when I try 10 I get the error: LabVIEW: memory is full.  I increased virtual memory by the suggestion in why I am getting "memory is full" error KB.

    The error occurs when Windows Task Manager reached 628 M no matter what I change my virtual memory.  I have 2 GB of RAM in my computer.  Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    What is expected. With N = 10, the final matrix will be 10! x 10, or approximately 36Million DBL elements. Each contains 8 bytes, which bears the imprint to ~ 290 MB for a single copy of the matrix of results expected.

    Looking at the memory usage of the VI for N = 9, is already 100 MB, so it seems there are about 4 copies of the final table in memory. No wonder that N = 10 is impossible.

    I recommend to the instruments in plain LabVIEW (son and loops) with a data type of U8, you will probably be able to go higher than 9.

    Remember that 15 is unrealistic, because the dimensions of the matrix are I32, but the size of the array will be N!. This means that you don't have enough lines for example N > 12 anyway.

    You have a good reason that you need such huge tables?

  • iMac fan runs full speed after the migration wizard

    Hi, just a clean installed 10.9.5 BONES and then I used the migration assistant to transfer my backup time machine from my old computer. He made the transfer, took nearly 4 hours. Then when he was done he rebooted the computer, and as soon as he started the fans in the computer run at full speed. I have a small (HARD drive fan control) software that I have installed to see the temperature and it tells me 119F and fans are 4962 RPM. Why it does this?

    Once the computer restarts, it said it was computer optimization and it can affect performance, can that cause the problem of fan? I did e-mail importing and installing imessage and now I'm looking at the speed of the fan and it is now 118f 4638 RPM... always very noisy. This computer did not a fan NOISE until I migrated my data.  Help, please!

    Yes. It should settle down after the Spotlight indexing. Which can take some time, depending on the number of files that needed to index.

    119 ° F is on the colder side of normal and no reason for concern.
