Not enough RAM? 12 GB of memory on iMac
I just started getting the error "Could not complete your request because there is not enough memory (RAM live).", and now I can't do anything in Photoshop CC at all. It began before the most recent update, after the update to Photoshop, it has only gotten worse. I can't even the Preferences menu without coming error. I also noticed that when I open photoshop, it appears with a completely empty workspace.
Any suggestions here? I don't feel as if it was because I don't have enough RAM all of a sudden.
My iMac is
27 inch mid 2011
3.4 GHz Intel
12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
10.9.2 OSX
Thanks for your help
have you tried
- reboot the machine
- rampage of Photoshop preferences
- Run disk utility > ERD (repair of permissions)
- running Cocktail OSX to clear the caches
- test in a new user account
- looking at the issues of police
- disable the plug-ins by default Photoshop

Error: Not enough RAM to open small files
MacBook5, 2
Macintosh OSX 10.6.3
4 GB OF RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M - 256 Mo
Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended (11.0.1)
I am TIFF of Maya files which are 11880 x 3400 pixel. The ranges of between 100-160 MB file size. Whenever I try to open one of these images in Photoshop, I get this error: "Could not complete the command open because there is not enough RAM."
I just ran Adobe Update and I have all the updates.
I deleted my Photoshop preferences and restarted Photoshop.
I have my drive from Scratch on an internal SSD drive to 30 GB of free space.
I have 3000 MB of RAM to Photoshop.
Despite all this, I always get the error "Could not complete the command open because there is not enough RAM" every time that I try to open the pictures made out of Maya.
The images of Maya are normal TIFF 8-bit with alpha channel, or a channel depth. I can open them with success in After Effects, but this is useless for me. I need to edit them individually in Photoshop.
Photoshop error is clearly not due to the size of the file. I HDR panoramas with superior to 11880 x 3400 dimensions ranging up to 1 GB in size of the file that I can open and work on in Photoshop without any problem.
Why Photoshop doesn't play well with these TIFF images?
I received another complaint about it and looked at a sample file. Maya apparently written the TIFF file as a large compressed tile (against the suggestions of the TIFF specification.). If this tile is greater think Photoshop so that he may reasonably, safely allocate a buffer, it will get an out of memory error.
The big problem is: there is no update "reasonable buffer" size for 64-bit.
I am testing a fix for this now.
But there's always bigger that Photoshop can read and Maya tiles needs to fix their code TIFF for use strips or tiles to avoid excessive buffer sizes.

In Program Files > Adobe > Adobe > Adobe's Patch files
I have a zip file {95EC043C-... of 200 MB since 15 December.
Can I delete these files? Because I have experience "not enough RAM' much to the PS
Hi again,
You can still install, make sure just that take care you of your images, and your personal files and then go for the installation of Windows 10, 64-bit.
All you need to do to re-setup is to download the Adobe Creative cloud application and then you can install LR and PS since the Application itself.
No need to pay again, it will recognize your id and password and allow you to download the applications that you are already a member of the subscription.

Not enough (RAM) memory free to start treatment for Outlook services
When I run Outlook 2007 SP2 and after getting my new one e-mail a notice appears of the outlook on the outlook bar icon to say tasks cannot start treatment services because there is not enough free memory to run this program (and it I do not see my new email). I added 2 GB of RAM and now have 6 GB in my Dell XPS 420 desktop computer. It has no effect on the error message. I'm running the 32-bit version of Windows Vista Ultimate SP2. In the physical memory in task manager, I show about 3100 MB in total, 1500 cache and 0 free. Don't know why the total would not be about 6 GB which is what is installed. What can I do to manage the memory or any other suggestions for the prospects for a return to normal?
It turns out that the problem was with Outlook and not related to the memery computer. It was solved by going to features, programs and Control Panel, and then repair Microsoft office system 2007. Thank you for all your help.
Hello
32-bit Edition of Windows Vista has a limit of 4 GB memory. If you have installed more than 4 GB, Vista will not read the extra memory.
The question you have posted is related to Outlook and would be better suited to the office community. Please visit the link below to find a community that will support what ask you

Not enough RAM then is it clear?
Hi all
A .psd, 100 MB, 15 layers, no text file. Tried to drag a .png transparent 2500px in image and "could not classify the document [...]. PNG because there is not enough memory (long live RAM). "Could not open still the png above separately.
the .jpg files are fine and more small png too.
Photoshop has been recently updated (28.05.2013).
Had errors similar yesterday when I couldn't use the backup for Web (memory) option or the brushes superior to 1000px. Restart Photoshop, restarted the PC, nothing.
There was almost no lag and all filters, brushes, etc... work super fast. Only the RAM problem.
The efficiency is 100%.
Preferences > General
Available RAM 3255 MB and Photoshop is allowed to use 100%.
Scratch disk is C:\ with 12, 79GB of free space.
The recovery information will not be saved, Clipboard will not be exported. I regularly purge history.
Manager tasks indicates that 6, 51 GB of memory is currently in use, CPU usage lingers between 1% and 3%.
Other programs open now: Skype, Chrome (6 tabs), FastStone ImageViewer.
Processor Intel Core i-7-3770 3.40 GHz
16, 0 GB OF RAM
Windows 7 64 bit
Version of Photoshop is CS6.
Yes, you should support the 64-bit version, despite the fact that I understand why you have problems of RAM more with this version...
You don't need to make a much more room on the C: drive, or use another that has more free space.
Memory PLANT of Photoshop is its file of zero, the CACHE is in RAM.
When the RAM fills (and the version 64-bit Photoshop can use way more than the 3GBs which can the 32-bit version), windows creates a larger file on hard disk and is competing for the bathroom, where the out of memory message.
The 100 MB is on the Photoshop InfoBar at the bottom of the window image or disc? Don't forget that even the PSD files are compressed on the disk and occupy a room much more when open.
Your display drivers are a years old, is a newer version available?

Everytime I try opening a *. OBJ or file *.3DS in Photoshop CS5.1 Photoshop says that it didn't have enough RAM to open the file.
I have an Intel i5 CPU, 8 GB of RAM and a nVidia Geforce GT640 2 GB. And as Windows 7 64-bit operating system.
I tried to adjust the RAM in edit > Preferences > performance, but it does not work.
Thanks in advance.
Meh, Sketchup... Older versions of it's output of OBJ files the worst I've ever seen and that seems to apply here. Google has set in 2011 or so... In short to take an intermediate step of e.gf. opening files in the mixer and re-export of here, I see no good way to avoid these problems.

My computer is old and I am poor. Not enough ram for new ff! What can I do?
Hello. I have windows xp, a very old hand e-machines computer and only 368 MB of RAM and a processor intel of 3.33 GHz. Even on this very old version of firefox, I get a lot of error messages and crashes. I had a newer version but had to come back to this one, because there are too many bugs!
Now I get messages that my version (3.6.8)will soon be unsupported and have no security. I am very poor; I have no money to buy a new computer with all the latest bells and whistles just so that firefox will work: 1 gig of ram is Not gonna happen on THIS computer. SO... what do you suggest we poor folks do?
I liked firefox for years, but it seems to take place in the direction of Microsoft went: bulky, heavy programs, tons of software needed alongside more memory, tons of things, we don't want TO not but should have anyway. I guess that if you do not have terrabites now, you're not cool. This saddens me and excludes a large number of us who are poor.
It comes to my feedback and a call for help. I hope you ask my questions and tell me what version of Firefox, I can go to that will be supported for more than what I currently have. Firefox keeps getting slower and slower, the more is invented. I use it mainly for youtube videos, email and search and watch the other vids, I can barely do at home is no longer. I don't want to go, but if I have no choice. I also wish a lighter application that is very light on my limited resources. I have a lot; just a search bar; don't need even toolbars, other applications like google. Is this possible. even if I've had enough of everything for firefox 8 (which I did not)?
Thanks for any help you can give.
Do a cleaning (re) install and delete the folder of the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
- Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Uninstall your current version of Firefox if possible.
- Do NOT remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

What do you see in the activity monitor to suggest that the RAM is fine?
The EtreCheck report shows that you have only 33MB of free RAM in time, which can only cause slowdowns. Google Chrome only takes 1.3 GB of it. Chrome is a Devourer of enormous resources, so if possible, try to quit smoking by using another browser.

HP Compaq presario CQ43: not enough ram in my computer
My HP Compaq presario CQ43 has 2 GB of ram. I want to get 8GB. It is 64 bit and it's hard to run most programs because of the ram being such a small size. It will support 8 GB of ram? If I take out the old 2gig and put 8 gig will perform best?
According to the manual, yes it can accept up to 8 GB memory DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM. See this video on: 33 in there where is flush with the memory. This technology never removes the memory but you just spread the retaining clips and remove and then follow again. See the second video.
https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=hVBzX2OeRtY
https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=V5q6fqZVQPs
You have 2 slots, so you need the modules of 2 x 4 GB like this:
4 GB (PC3 10600, 1 333 MHz) 621569-001
Yes, 8 GB of memory will be a major improvement. Better upgrade would be to replace the mechanical drive with an SSD. After back if you are interested by this.

You cut off most of the production of EtreCheck, but in general, which is caused by the insufficient RAM in your system. The operating system must give way to other active processes, or a new application that you have launched. Something must be driven out of RAM to make room.
