Can't authorize music "There is not enough memory available"

For some reason, my computer got deauthorized last week. When I try to reauthorize the computer, iTunes claims to successfully authorize the computer (it even increments the number of authorized computers). However, it then says:
"We could not complete your iTunes Store request. There is not enough memory available.
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
It's been doing this for about a week now. I try to reauthorize once or twice a day, and it just doesn't work. Any ideas?

This is most likely due to a problem with your Ethernet port, which is where authorization for the iTunes Store is based for Macs. To test this, do the following:
1) Go to the Apple Menu and select "About this Mac". On the screen that opens click the "More Info" button.
2) The System Profiler will open. On the left column under "Contents" click on "Network".
3) To the right, under "Active Services" click "Built-in Ethernet".
4) In the area below, scroll all the way to the bottom, looking below all the "Proxies".
5) If a section called "Ethernet" does not appear below "Proxies" or there is nothing underneath "Ethernet" or there is nothing next to where it says "MAC Address:" this means the Ethernet port is not functioning. It will need to be repaired, requiring a logic board replacement. Contact Apple.
Note that this issue may be intermittent. If so, the Ethernet problem will likely only show up when you are having a problem with inability to play purchased music.

  • I'm trying to buy some music and iTunes says there is not enough memory available?

    I'm trying to buy some music and iTunes says there is not enough memory available?

    I found the answer for real.  I called apple and talked to some dude.  All you have to do is clear your payment information, save it and then re-enter it.  thats the  bug, thats it.
    go to the store drop down menu on the itunes toolbar... click view my account... click edit payment information... select 'none' for your credit card...click done...   then try and buy your music...  if you have a gift card or whatever.   if you are just using your credit card or debit card, re-enter your payment information.
    it worked for me i hope it works for you.

  • "...There is not enough memory available."

    I'm running the most recent version of iTunes. I've got quite a bit of purchased music.
    So, I'm coming home from college. Just before I leave, I download and install the newest update. I come home, fire up iTunes, and I am told I need to authorize.
    I enter my password in. It works! (I had to deauth all comps first, but the point is I could log in)
    Having logged in, I get a new error message:
    "We could not complete your Music Store request. There is not enough memory available. There was an error in the Music Store. Please try again later."
    I've emailed the iTunes support people and they were basically useless, telling me to make sure I was updated and that I had free authorization slots.
    The problem seems similar to this old thread - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=785786 - but it is locked. And the person didn't mention which cache files he deleted.
    Could anyone offer any advice?
    Thanks.

    Please help...I have the exact same problem...iTunes support is totally useless as well as applecare, they just keep resetting my password. Every time I try to authorize I add another computer to the maximum of five and then I get the too many computers authorized message. Before I reach that point I get the not enough memory message. I am desperate.

  • Why do i get the popup: The iTunes file cannot be saved. There is not enough memory available.

    Why do i get this popup on my Windows 8 PC: The iTunes file cannot be saved. There is not enough memory available. My iPhone will not play in my car since I got this popup.

    Can you play music on your phone, while not connected to anything?
    - If yes, check with support for your car. Maybe the radio cannot rexognize the iPhone anymore.
    - If no, check your pc for free space.
    I don't work with W8, maybe it denies iTunes the ability to write files.
    Think there has to be made some libary file for the files that are on your phone.
    Maybe you are able to download some files you bought in the store to your phone directly. Could try again in your car then.
    If you never bought a file, there is a free weekly song every week.
    Only have to fill out you membership details.

  • TS3274 iPad 2 cannot be synced. There is not enough memory available....but 40Gb available!!

    iPad 2 cannot be synced. There is not enough memory available....but 40Gb available!!.
    I just finished copying my CD collection across to iTunes, sunced and all was fine.  I then changed some of the track names and it came up with this message. Help?

    Now taking into account that the body of the message also shows I had just synced the device with no problem and the only changes made thereafter were to the titles of a few songs, you can't be serious in telling me that it suddenly used 40Gb ?! ....or are you? 
    No .... But that should be a clue that changing the titles of the songs corrupted something .... Doesn't that make sense?
    You also said that you "tried the troubleshooting stuff". So what does that leave to try?  The "non troubleshooting stuff"?
    Did you try unsyncing all of the music and then try syncing it again? Or don't sync the songs that you changed the titles of and see if the message is still there.
    If the sync is successful, slowly add those changed titled songs back to the iPad and when you get the message again, you might be able to assume that one of those songs is corrupt.

  • Could not Purchase (desired tune). There is not enough memory available.

    There's nothing wrong with the 1 gig of memory in my G4 Powerbook, and I've made no system changes in the last 6 months, but today when I tried to purchase a tune from the iTunes Store, instead of working normally like it has always worked in the past, iTunes 7.6.1 gave this cryptic error message:
    "Could not purchase (the tune I selected). There is not enough memory available. There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
    What gives? This is truly bizarre; no other apps running; fresh reboot; has the iTunes online store's server at Cupertino lost its memory? Bizarre

    Thanks Mike; I'm not interested in upgrading beyond 10.3.9, either. I'll wait and see if they fix it. It would seem logical that they would not want that defect to cause lost sales worldwide.
    If they don't fix it, I'll just stop buying music online. If a system upgrade is necessary to use the new itunes in order to buy music, the system upgrade ought to be free.

  • The iPhone could not be restored. There is not enough memory available.

    Hi guys,
    you all seem the be fairly acquainted with all possible iPhone problems. I was searching this forum for an answer to my problem. iTunes won't restore my iPhone because of an error mentioned in the title of this topic - The iPhone could not be restored. There is not enough memory available. I haven't found anything on the net that I haven't tried yet.
    Am using Windows XP, iTunes 7.4.3 and the iPhone used to be on the firmware 1.0.2. I was trying to do the restore but it gave me that error message. I tryed uninstalling everything with WinASO registry cleaner, iTunes, apple device thing(or whatever), installed it 3 times, tried to force the previous firmware with Shift+restore, but nothing. I also tried to switch USB ports. I followed the instruction on how to remove iTunes exactly like it was described in another thread - no success.
    Is there any help you can maybe provide, but don't tell me to go/send it to an Apple Store, since I live in Europe, where there is no official iPhone yet.
    PLease help

    Hi,
    is there a newer version of iTunes than 7.4.3, which I am already using ?
    I don't think so.
    And no, the iPhone has not been hacked before, I was using it like iPod, internet browser and stuff. But no calls.
    My version of iTunes say 7.4.3.1.
    I assume that by saying that your iPhone has not been hacked before means "it has never been hacked."
    Are you paying AT&T for monthly service?
    I would still try to download a fresh copy of iTunes if possible.
    If it does not work, I think that you need to take the iPhone back to the Apple Store or call AppleCare for assistance. The store, and AppleCare, has a number of software tools to potentially diagnose the problems you are encountering.

  • IPod cannot be synced. Ther is not enough memory available

    When I try to sync my ipod i get an error that says "iPod cannot be synced. There is not enough memory available." I checked and I have more than half of my iPod's memory free. What can I do to fix this? I have glanced at a few somewhat related issues and they keep mentionin the iTunes upgrade. Is this true? If so, are they going to put out another upgrade??

    I've tried all these. I was hoping for some guidance..not some form you answer every question with. I already know how to trouble shoot. I don't think it's my ipod. I think it's my itunes..

  • Fork Function Failed.  There is not enough memory available.

    Hello I have gotten the following error with my Application 10g AS server:
    Fork Function Failed. There is not enough memory available.
    I have set the ulimit to unlimited for all categories for the Oracle User. I have set the number of processes per user to 2048 processes. I have 4GB of RAM and 6GB of paging space.
    I have also noticed that once I open the opmn services, even if no one is executing any commands, the Oracle User's processes are growing. I ran the following command to determine it: ps -ef | grep oracle user | wc -l. I also monitored some of the processes for sometime and they are not terminating in order to release the physical memory or the paging space.
    Can you please assist me with this problem?

    user483766,
    You will probably want to file a TAR and work through this with Oracle Support.

  • There is not enough memory available on the Essbase Administration Server to open this outline

    When I am trying to open outline it is showing the below error-
    "There is not enough memory available on the Essbase Administration Server to open this outline"
    Please advise what can be the reason and how can we solve them?
    I checked the earlier post https://forums.oracle.com/message/4434719 and JVMOption is set with the current maximum size of the JVM e.g. -Xmx512m. Still we are receiving the error. Could you please help?

    Thanks John for the reply.
    Couple of things
    1) We use Block Storage Outline. Does it matter while compacting the outline using ESSCMDQ?
    2)  At the moment the JVM is set to -Xmx512m. Should we increase from 512 to 1024 or what is recommended.
    We are doing ESSBASE 7.1.3  to 11.x (11.1.2.2) migration (AS IT IS migration) and we are facing this problem. Quite strange that we didn't get any memory error version 7.x whereas we are getting error in 11.x  My understanding is that the current ESSBASE server has 6 GB RAM and in all ways it has higher capacity than server 7.x. But not sure why we are getting this strange error.
    Is it possible to check the JVM size in ESSBASE 7.1.3 (or where we need to check the memory size).
    Thanks in advance.
    Satheesh.

  • Itunes error message "file name here cannot be copied because an error occured. There is not enough memory available."

    Hello,
    I have an iPad 64gb. Been trying to load files on it with plenty of memory to spare. generally though i cant load more than about 35mb at a time before the message "file name here cannot be copied because an error occured. There is not enough memory available." pops up. I keep needing to close itunes, unplug my ipad, and restart it again. but the issue remeains the same.
    when i open up task manager i notice that memory usage by itunes goes from 95,000K to 1,750,000K in under 30sec which is when i get the error message. any solutions? currently running itunes on Vista.
    Thanks in advance.
