Applejack For Os X 10.8

Under that is says, 'To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows and removing files from your startusp disk will also help.' In the area where it shows what applications/files are running, it only shows Safari and Finder. I have tried quitting Safari and restarting Finder like it says but the box just keeps popping up every time I restart Safari, Firefox, Chrome, etc. I have read into this problem a little by searching the question and I have gone into my activity monitor based on others responeses to this question, but i don't understand what the activity monitor is saying or what to do within that program. I'm not very good on computers, so specific, step-by-step help will be greatly appreciated!!!

AppleJack is a tool to make it easy to troubleshoot your Mac when no other startup disk is available to you. The script gives you an interactive menu-driven environment for basic disk check/repair. The latest version of DiskWarrior runs on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks, Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan, macOS 10.12 Sierra, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, macOS 10.14 Mojave, and macOS 10.15 Catalina.

Not really. Photoshop, Numbers however I do have 3 browsers running with a number of active windows.
I'm beginning to think this is a Firefox issue. Activity Monitor is showing Firefox as the largest use of memory at 2.57GB (I'm on my MacPro currently) with nothing else even close to that. 6 FF windows open.
One of my designers has just told me that he's been having the issue for a couple of weeks on his iMac too. He's concluded the same about FF and instead of leaving windows open overnight he's been quiting FF altogether in the evening and has not had the issue in the morning when he wakes his machine. (That's when it's been happening on both of mine, in the morning after leaving FF running overnight).

Applejack For Os X 10.8 10 8 Mountain Lion

When I open my iMac, I get the following message : Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. Then it says to quit applications not in usw and to close windows and remove files from startup disk. It lists Safari, email and Finder. I force a quit on all applications yet the same message comes up every time I open an application. What do I do to get rid of this once and for all? The computer is not even two years old and is only used for email and Safari. Help will be greatly appreciated,
The message has nothing to do with low disk space.
There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ('Mavericks.') The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding 'kernel_task') is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named 'Safari Web Content' render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is 'inkjet4' or 'inkjet8,' which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
'Wired' memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.
The full message reads as, '
Force Quit Applications
Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory.
To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows and removing files from your startup disk will also help.'
Currently I have:
Capacity: 319.73GB ; Available: 299.11GB ; Used: 20.62GB
Why am I receiving this message and being forced to force quit items? Both times the message has been received, Safari was open (frozen) while checking yahoo! mail.
I received my MacBook Pro as a gift less than a month ago and I have only saved 20 pictures within iPhoto and installed Skype and Vuze..no other modifications from default have been made.
Any idea?

I've searched the web high and low to resolve this issue, tried many different approaches, and have not been able to resolve it. I'm really looking for help at this point.
I'm trying to export a 5 minute video that I've put together using FCPX 10.0.8. I export 'master file' to an external hard drive and at some point in the export process I get the following popup:
System information:
13' mid-2011 Macbook Air
Processor 1.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (2GB x2)
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
Hard drive: 256 SSD (107 GB available)
FCPX project information:
FCPX media is stored on SSD system drive and exporting to external drive
Media is 1080p 24 frame footage shot using a Canon T2i
Total Length of project is 5:13
Background rendering is off
Proxy media is created for all media but I am exporting original media
I've tried the following:
Freeing up more hard drive space - I've anywhere from 25 GB to 107 GB free and it does not seem to matter how much free space I have, I still get the error
Repairing system drive - I've repaired permissions with Disk Utility and I've even performed a drive Rebuild using DiskWarrior
Cleaning up FCPX project - I've gone through and deleted all unused media, deleted project and event render files, etc
Cleared RAM - During export I've repeatedly ran MemoryKeeper to clear RAM and free up more memory
System restart before attempting the export and I also boot up holding 'shift' which blocks unnecessary background tasks, dropbox, etc from starting
Considerations/Observations:
I've exported longer and more complex projects using the same setup with no problem, also with less free disk space
I've never seen this error in any other situation
The error will pop up anywhere from the export being 35% to 98% completed
Activity Monitor during export:
The only processes that are taking up any considerable memory are FCPX and kernal_task
'% CPU' on FCPX jumps around from 60% or less to 250% or more
FCPX usually has 83 threads
'Real Memory' for FCPX can be anywhere from 300 MB to 2 GB
It seems that when the export is at about 25% or 30% that is when the computer starts slowing down, 'Free' system memory goes down to mere megabytes, and a ton of swapfiles start to generate in ../var/vm folder which will build up until I'm out of disk space
Sometimes the error will pop up even before I run out of disk space due to the swapfiles. Last time it came up when I still had 40 GB free
Screenshot of Activity Monitor 'System Memory' during a previous attempt to export, taken right as the error popped up:
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me figure this one out!

Like Russ said, your system specs are pretty marginal - especially the 4GB of RAM. As you are experiencing this sometimes gets rapidly depleted, so the system starts to use swap on the system drive - the internal SSD. You have written about freeing hard drive space - do you mean in the external? You really need room in the internal SSD: not for your export, but for system stuff like sleepimage, swap space etc. The error message is pretty clear: you reached a situation where there is not enough space in the SSD for your system to work properly.
What burns me is this problem of slowing down to a crawl and freezing up because of something called 'memory leaks' which nobody at Apple seems to be able to eliminate with any new iteration of the OS X?
Can you maybe try to explain this in layman's terms to someone who is a graphic artist/designer and not an IT tech?
Suggestions for more RAM are easy for those who can actually add more RAM, but my iMac is maxed out at 6Gigs, so tell me why my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 worked for the past few years without issues as had my HP Color LaserJet 2600n? Now that I've 'upgraded' the OS X my machine is slowing up to a snails pace compared to 3 years ago. And I went into the printer drivers section and I was told I don't have permission to delete drivers for odd-ball printers that I don't have?
So for those that need the information:
I'm running OS X v.10.8.4 (12E55)
2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory is 6 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Boot ROM Version:
IM71.007A.B03
SMC Version (system):
1.21f4
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
Primary HDD is 500 GB with 182.77 GB free

Suddenly over the past 2-3 weeks, first my iMac, then my Mac Pro both started giving me the pop-up error message: 'Your mac os x startup disk has no more space available for application memory' offering for me to Force Quit open applications. Which does not work. Restarting temporarily helps, but the error will eventually return.
I have over 50% available in HD space on the iMac.
Also, I do not know if this is related, but the computers are running very slowly as well.
Additionally, before all of this, our Contact data, sync with Mobile Me, tripled in size with duplicates and jumbled messages.
Seemed like a cascade of failures beginning with contacts and ending with the memory error.
I have tried Applejack several times to no avail.
Any one have any ideas? Thanks.

What about the Mac Pro? How large is your hard drive on both computers?
Problem first appeared on the iMac, then the MacPro starting giving the same error.
MacPro 999.5 GB total, 277 GB available
iMac 499.76 GB total, 214 GB available
'Your mac os x startup disk has no more space available for application memory'
Is FileVault enabled?
Never (unless it turned on itself)
have tried Applejack several times to no avail.
Have you tried using _Disk Utility from your install disc?_
From the HD, but not from from install disk. I will dig it out and try it.
Did you run Apple's Hardware Test?
Where do I find this?
Did you disconnect all peripherals except for the keyboard & mice while troubleshooting?
I did not since I am having the same problem on 2 different computers.
the computers are running very slowly as well.
Check the items in the Login Items. Delete or disable all you do not need.
My MacBook Pro (version 10.7.5 4GB)keeps crashing with the error message 'Your MAC OSX start up disk has no more space available for application memory' - what do i do. I keep force quitting the applications and turning the computer off but it happens again after a while
Hhow much goal and free hard disk space is available? Sounds like you need to move some things off of that hard drive.
My MAC OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory.

I've searched around for answers to this problem, but haven't really found a solution yet. In most cases, the person truly is running out of hard drive space, or doesn't have a lot of free memory available.
However, this isn't the case for me. I upgraded my hard drive to a 1.5 Tb drive in my iMac and did a fresh install of Snow Leopard. I'm running 4GB of RAM, and get this message sometimes when I have still 1 to 2 GB of RAM still free. I'm only using 500GB of my 1.5Tb drive!
Generally a reboot makes the message stay away for a week or two, but to me that's just a band-aid and not a solution. Never had this issue with any of the previous versions of OS X that I have run.
I did restore many files from my old hard drive, but no system files.
Anyone have any thoughts? Driving me bonkers!
Humbug. Virtual RAM has never exceeded the free space on my machine (currently about 120 GB) and you have an order of magnitude more than I. If a perusal of all the links from that search don't point to something that will fix or identify your issue, then I have no answers. I do seem to recall, however, that MS and Adobe apps sometimes erroneously post that warning message, but I haven't seen it.
I have plenty of memory,but I am forced to quit all my applications when the message appears.
