Error Message: iTunes library cannot be saved (50) and then iTunes crashes

I am running 64 bit windows vista, with itunes 10.7.  I get the error message "Error Message: iTunes library cannot be saved (50)" once or twice and then iTunes crashes entirely.  this occurs after a random amount of time using iTunes, and the library is in fact saving between incidents.

Resolved by my getting an iMac ...

    Suddenly, I am seeing an error message that reads: "The iTunes Library cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54)".  Can anyone tell me what that means? Am I in danger of my iTunes library being lost?

    == Error -54 ==
    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.

  • "Itunes library cannot be saved, there is not enough memory" Error Message

    Every time when I leave my mac to play songs on iTunes in shuffle mode or when I select a few songs (such as by the same singer), this error message ("Itunes library cannot be saved, there is not enough memory") would appear after a while, and my iTunes would then crash by itself and an option to 'Reopen' or to 'Report the problem to Apple' box would pop up.
    However, this just does not make any sense to me. My mac is a Macbook Pro 2011, 13" with i5 sandybridge processor, 4G RAM, how could it ran out of virtual memory when I am only playing SEVEN songs by the same singer?
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Or should I send this computer back to Apple and ask them to check it?
    Thank you!

    I'm getting the same message -- "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. There is not enough memory available." It just started popping up every time I do anything on iTunes, but I haven't updated the program recently (iTunes 10.4.1.10, for the record), and have been using it on this computer (Win7) for over a year.
    I checked the archived responses to this problem, and just about all of them are about its other cause ("You do not have enough privileges for this operation"), and the others are about incompatabilities with early Windows 7 (and are several years old), so I don't imagine they're completely relevant.
    Please, does anyone know anything to help?

    Error -50 is a very unhelpful generic communications error with a number of possible causes.  Something between the drive to which you are downloading and the drive from which it is all coming is not working correctly, which probably leaves several hundred options.

    You need to be very careful which project you open in which version.
    For 2014 make sure its on 2014.1 build 81.

  • The iTunes Library cannot be saved an unknown error has occurred (-48)

    Every few minutes, I get an error message from iTunes that says:
    "The iTunes Library cannot be saved an unknown error has occurred (-48)"
    Quitting and restarting iTunes doesn't seem to make the error go away.  All of my music and movies seem to play just fine - not sure why the error keeps popping up - any clues?
    - iTunes library is located in it's normal spot (~/user/music/iTunes/)
    - OS 10.8.2
    - iTunes 10
    - iMac 27" early 2010

    Thanks again for the gracious response UV.
    You've pointed out a problem...there are a lot of WAV files that I have like unreleased live shows of bands like the Beatles, Neil Young, Miles Davis etc that I've gotten off Bittorrent trading. When I look at the "get info" part of the song in iTunes the details that I've hand entered (dates, venue, song, musicians,etc) does show up.
    But when I go back to the actual file itself, many are simply tagged something like "track 1" and the only way I currently keep track of all this is how I organize my library ( Musician or Band folder \ Album folder \ indivual tracks). There are literally thousounds of songs that I've entered data for on these WAV files.
    Besides getting my current error problem fixed, has anyone who trades live shows come up with an easier way to organize their music. I understand that I may be in the minority with all my WAV files and that many users simply upload CDS, or mostly buy tracks online which is easier to simply grab the data back if they need from some database. I feel like I'm missing out on something big. Maybe I just need a different program for my particular application (archiving & playing music). ANy ideas from other bittorrent traders of unreleased material?
    I am learning more and more about how this all works by the minute, and have taken your advice UV about copying all my current library info and putting it somewhere safe. Hopefully this means everything I've entered up until a few days ago will be fine. Still, I have plenty music waiting for me to hear in FLAC files that need to be decoded into WAV files; but I want to wait to do this until I can be certain all my hard work entering data won't go to waste and my error problem has been fixed.
    thanks for all insights - Sonny

  • The itunes library cannot be saved.  An unknown error occurred (-50)  What do I do to get rid of this warning.  I get it when I try to sync my phone or ipad

    I am running 64 bit windows operating system.  I upgraded to iOS6 for iphone 4s and ipad II.  Since that upgrade I have been getting this error message
    The itunes library cannot be saved.  An unknown error occurred (-50)
    I've updated windows thinking it was a compatibility issue.  Uninstalled itunes and reinstalled with the Kaspersky off.
    What is going on.  Thoughts?
    and if you click okay it keeps coming back for 3 or 4 pop ups before going away

  • ITunes Library cannot be saved. Unknown Error has Occurred (-54)

    I have been having the following message appear in iTunes:
    iTunes Library cannot be saved. Unknown Error has Occurred (-54)
    I created a new library which seemed to solve the problem.... until I plugged in my iPod Classic or tried to Sync my iPhone. When this happened this warning message would come every 10 seconds or so making it a nightmare to do anything as the dock icon would bounce or iTunes would pop up. Can anyone suggest what might have caused this problem and how to resolve it.
    Thanks
    Matt

    Hi pholewinski!
    I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
    If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:

  • The iTunes library cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-48)

    Hi,
    This is the message iTunes has been showing me lately.
    'The iTunes library cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-48)'
    It has been getting so frequent i cant have iTunes open for 10 seconds without it popping up, very annoying.
    Does anyone know what's going on or how I can fix the problem? Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi, I'm sorry, don't have a solution but have the same problem. I am running iTunes 8.2.1 (6). the only difference is the number in the error message, for me it is -54.
    I'm running on a Macmini, with the itunes library on a network disk (Synology).
    I've tried exporting the library, deleting the library file and then importing the saved file - no luck.
    Googling the problem you'll find it is not unique, there quite a few people with this problem!

    Hi boglegod,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    It sounds like you need to unistall the 32 bit version of iTunes and install the 64 bit version on your Windows computer.  Do you have a backup of your iTunes library?  Do you have any other security software installed besides Norton?  The following articles may help you with this:
    I would suggest following the information in the "External drive" section of the article below:
