Memory

I get a recurring message "Your system has run out of application memory." even when I only have only a couple of applications open. Macbook Air about a year old, 16GB memory.

If you haven't already done this, I suggest opening the Activity Monitor app in the Applications>Utilities folder. Once the app is open, click on the Memory tab to see how memory is being allocated. Whichever app is at the top of the list is using the most memory. At the bottom , there is a box that shows the overall memory demand and the level of "Memory Pressure" the system is under.
