There is a whole big section in the aipsmgr FAQ page about Macs
and TV shared memory - the part appropriate for you is:

 On the latest "leopard", "snow leopard", "lion", "mountain lion", and "yosemite" (X 10.5-10.10) systems, /etc/rc is gone and creating it will have no effect. You need to create an /etc/sysctl.conf file and put the values in it,

            kern.sysv.shmmax=10485760
            kern.sysv.shmmin=1
            kern.sysv.shmmni=32
            kern.sysv.shmseg=8
            kern.sysv.shmall=4096

You will need to reboot the computer.  Then

         You can check if the shared memory changes happened by typing "sysctl kern.sysv" in a terminal or xterm window. Look for the kern.sysv.shm* values. If the values have not changed, make sure you haven't inadvertently left in "sysctl -w" in the /etc/sysctl.conf file or mis-typed one of the values. If the /etc/sysctl.conf file is not properly formatted, or shmmax is not an integer multiple of shmall, the shared memory will not be adjusted after the reboot.
