ITunes won't open: "Not enough memory available"

Whenever I try to open iTunes, I immediately get this error message: "The iTunes application could not be opened. There is not enough memory available." I click OK and iTunes quits, and that's the end of the conversation. Does anyone know why this is happening? It can't mean RAM, since I have 185MB free and 492MB inactive, and it can't mean HD space because I have 21.4GB free, which is unusually high. This just started occurring today, for no apparent reason. Please help me, I want to watch The Office!
Edit: I just tried running a copy of iTunes from a backup I have, and it works just fine, so it has to be something with my computer specifically.

Hey, I had a similar problem. . .
My problem was that I had mine skinned (with aqua for itunes) and for some reason it wouldn't open for that same error message i reopened aqua for itunes and told it to unskin it and restore it to regular settings and itunes works like a charm, does that help any (although i really like the look from aqua for itunes)

  • 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.

  • ITunes won't start: Not Enough Memory

    I downloaded iTunes 8, used it once-fine, tried to change the skin with Kameleon, now iTunes won't start. I get the error message: The iTunes application could not be opened. There is not enough memory available. I changed the skin back to the default, removed Kameleon from my system completely, shut down and restarted the MacBook and tried to open iTunes again. And, again the same error. Is this an iTunes issue with the new version or is this truly a memory problem??

    I got this exact same error just now!
    I also have Kameleon but didn't bother to change the skin on itunes.
    It kinda ***. So it's Kameleon's problem or iTunes?

  • Cannot purchase in iTunes store: There is not enough memory available/error

    I really need answers as to why it is not working- and someone must know by now?

    It seems the iTunes Store is rejecting purchases from iTunes 7.x.
    People have reported resolving the issue by updating to the latest version of iTunes. However that is not possible with the OS 10.3.9 I must retain for work purposes.

  • Problems opening outline: Not enough memory available

    Dear all,
    since about 3 or 4 weeks I have problems with opening an outline in EAS console: After a double klick on the outline and about 1 minute waiting the following message pops up: "There is not enough memory available on the Administration Server to open this outline." If I try to open the outline in "view mode" everything works fine. I dont know where the problem is - I have restarted the whole system, all other applications/databases are down - where is the memory?
    Does anybody know this problem? How can I trace it? How can I see/change memory settings? We are working with Oracle Application Server on Windows NT as container for APS, HSS, AAS (EAS). Essbase Analytic Server is installed and running on HP UX.
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards
    André

    This wouldn't be an ASO database by any chance, would it?
    Because if it is, you're likely seeing the effects of a fragmented outline.
    It seems awfully big for the number of members you are describing.
    Take a look at this thread: Re: ASO too large for techniques on how to get around the ASO outline fragmentation issue.
    It might at least be worth trying to build the dimensions in a new database and see if the error occurs. If it does not (as this will be a fresh database, it won't be fragmented) you have pretty convincing proof that the issue is related to ASO outline fragmentation.

    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.

  • ITunes could not be opened-not enough memory: "3ivx D4 4.5.1 for OSX" FIXED

    iTunes: 6.04 (3)
    QT: 7.0.4
    OSX: 10.4.6
    After reading through other posts regarding this message, "The iTunes application could not be opened. There is not enough memory available." and trying what everyone else had tried (rebooting, repair permissions, delete iTunes prefs, re-install, change theme, create new user) my iTunes still told me I did not have enough RAM. I have 2GB installed and more than 16GB free on the hard drive. There were no problems found when using disk utility to verify the hd.
    Then I remembered that I was trying to watch a movie yesterday in quicktime and the audio wouldn't play. I searched and found a couple codecs to try; msmpeg41, msmpgv2 and '3ivx D4 4.5.1 for OSX.' (none of which allowed me to hear the AC3 audio track. Had to convert to divx/mp3 with ffmpegx) After removing/replacing the new codecs one by one while trying iTunes, I narrowed it down to the 3ivx D4 4.5.1 for OSX codec. When it is in my /Library/Quicktime folder, iTunes tells me I don't have enough memory and quits. When I pull it out, all is fine. So even if you didn't install the codec that gave me problems, other QT codecs could potentially stop iTunes from opening.
    Hope this helps someone.

    It's a unified GUI program http://gui.interacto.net/ and some people (including me) have had this error message when using it with iTunes 7 Their latest version 1.3.1 seems to overcome this, but if you are not using it ........!

  • ITunes 5 - not enough memory available?

    Installed iTunes 5 on Sept. 7 and worked fine for about a week - then a couple days ago started getting message "The iTunes application could not be opened. There is not enough memory available."
    What happened? What can I do about this? Now we can't play music or update any of our iPods, so I need to fix this or back up to prior version.
    Advice, please...

    Ohhkaaay....downloaded iTunes 5 from Apple website (looks like there's a Sept. 9 version? but software update didn't find anything new), installed and now it works.

  • Cannot open Public Folder item: "Not enough memory available in Exchange"

    Hi
    We are running Exchange 2003 Sp2.
    I cannot open an item in a Public Folder in Outlook that holds a list of contact details - the error message is;
    "Error: Cannot open this item. There is not enough memory available on Microsoft Exchange to perform this operation. Contact your system administrator"
    However, I can open the Contacts using Webmail. Any ideas?

    Quote: “open an item in a Public Folder in Outlook that holds a list of contact details”
    The item you said, is it a distribution list? If yes, please see KB 894530
    Troubleshooting:
    1.       Is the issue only happened on one item in the problematic public folder?
    2.       Is the issue only happened on one public folder?
    3.       Please recreate one same type item in the problematic public folder, see if the issue still persists
    4.       Is the issue only happened via one outlook client? Please test if the symptom also occurs when we reproduce the issue in another PC with another user’s outlook profile

    If the outlook’s version is 2007, please see KB 945014

  • 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.

  • Ipad 2 - there is not enough memory available message in itunes when photo are sync. Help !

    Hi there,
    When i sync my Ipad 2 with Itunes , as soon as it gets to the 5th step ( sync Photos ) it says that there is not enough memory available.
    Even if it has half of the memory available.
    Help !
    Thank You

    Charammmmmm ! FOUND IT  ( more or less ) !
    After i created a folder inside another folder with all the photos it finally synced perfectly !
    The main Folder is on my desktop and i have inside it another folder with every 171 Photos.
    But this isn´t normal someone should fix this permanently because i added 3 more photos and there it
    was again " not enough memory..bla..bla...bla"
    Thank you very much for your help anyway.
    Cheers everybody !

  • 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.
