Q: Your System has Run out of Application memory

I upgraded to Mavericks from Mountain Lion, and I have been getting the error message "Your System has Run out of Application memory", and I am forced to restart the computer to be able to keep working.

 

I have been monitoring the Activity Monitor and I have not found a process that is increasing the amount of memory used. I have seen a proliferation of processes.

 

I have an iMac 27-inch, Late 2012 with a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 and 24 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.


iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9), 27-inch Late 2012; 3.4 GHz i7; 24GB

    What about your hard drive? Is it portioned? How much space in your boot drive?

    I Started having this problem right after upgrading to 10.9

    I have years using a mac mini server just to run one asterisk pbx vmware fusion session.

     

    This has nothing to do with hardware requirements.

    I thought this had to do with the App Nap feature, but I disabled it for VMware Fusion and I still get this.

    I also have the latest version of Fusion.

    I also started to have this problem that I never ever had in my life since Rhapsody and Mac OS X 1.0!

     

    Quite amazing.... the machine just collapse and ALL apps get into this "(paused)" mode.....

     

    Running a Mac Book Pro 17", 16Gb Ram, last model Apple did before dropping it.

     

    Only solution is to reboot. Happened twice already...

     

    Not a good sign on a previously very stable system being now worst than Windows 7 and 8

     

    Hope someone finds out a solution, specially Apple.

    I just uninstalled Server.app hoping for updates so I can re-install it again.

    In my case the problem is that "devicemgrd" (Profile Manager) is draining my CPU and Memory and that is causing what is described in this post.

     

    I tried killing "devicemgrd" first and realized all went back to normal.

    In the end, I decided to completely remove Server.app until this is resolved by Apple.

     

    Issue resolved for me, but I believe not many people will be able to remove Server.app and/or disable Profile Manager to do this temporary fix.

    I have just noticed in Activity Monitor that the Dashboard process stopped responding and the amount of memory allocated to it was continuosly increasing. I killed the process but the amount of available memory keeps reducing. I have to reboot my iMac once again.

    Mine is 2009 MacBook Pro, 8 GB Ram, 320 GB HDD. I have exactly the same problem after upgrading to Mavericks.

    I never use off all the memory before.

     

    The memory pressure will start to become red even if I just put my MacBook Pro on the desk without opening any application.

    I have same problem on a 2010 MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM and 250GB free on a 512GB Samsung SSD. I installed Mavericks (was happily running Mountain Lion) and now the system starts reporting that it's run out of Application Memory. I'm still trying to track down where it's getting used up, but it's a definite problem with Mavericks...

    Not saying that this will fix anything but have you repaired permissions after the upgrade? Sometimes things get messed up after install over and older operating system. A clean install might fix your issues.

    Yeah I tried to repair the disk permission but still useless.

    Besides disk permission, I also tried to reset the pram, and do the clean install as well.

    But same thing happens even if I do the clean install (with the backup data transfer from time machine)

    Teamviewer,  papers 2, splashtop stream, Dropbox, and alfred.

     

    Everytime when I reboot, it'll stay fast for about ten minutes and then becomes slow again and out of memory. The indexing is over so I'm sure it's not because of indexing.
