Q: No application memory left. Getting worse and worse. My Mac Pro is basically unusable. I am about to go back to a PC.
I am ready to go back to a PC. I cannot use my computer. I have lost photos. Can't even download from carbonite to replace lost itemsk because of lack of application memory. It is driving me crazy. This computer cost too much for this kind of thing to be happening. Mine has been happening for over a year. I can't get answers.
Iphoto ios, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), OS X version 10.9.1

Just to quell your fears, your Photos are still there on your Mac.
The bad part, is I have never ran into this is issue and have looked into it and I find the the Application memory full issues can be caused by many things.
The reason I need you to install and run Etrecheck, is because I need to see if your system is running ANY incompatible software or malware that is bad for your Mac, in general.
I will ask you some questions , instead.
Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X and can have negative effects on OS X system performance and general operations.
Do you have "garbageware" apps like MacKeeper or any other "junkware" maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac? These types of apps, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
