All the memory in your Macintosh is in use by other application programs, system software,

m Quit other open programs to free memory, then open the program you want to use.

Note: Make sure you have quit other applications, not just closed their open documents.
To quit an application, open the application menu at the far right of the menu bar and
choose the application name to make the application active. Then open the File menu
and choose Quit.

m Follow these steps to allocate more memory to the program:

available to open programs.

2
