ITunes displays "The ipod cannot be synced. There is not enough memory available."

My ipod has plenty of memory, it is an 8gb ipod nano. I am trying to sync my ipod, but a box pops up that says my ipod doesn't have enough memory, when it has plenty. It went from having a little over 400 songs to having about 4 songs. How do I fix this? I am desperate!

When you have the iPod selected in the iTunes sidebar under DEVICES, the sync settings are on the "tabs" that stretch to the right.  Check each tab, not just the one for Music.  You may have inadvertently enable the syncing of one of the categories (that you don't usually use), that is taking up all the space, such as Podcasts or Audiobooks.  Those two may not be immediately obvious, because they show up as "Audio" (same as Music), on the Capacity bar.
A better test would be to disable the syncing on every other tab, except for Music.  Then check how many songs you can sync.
If you can't figure it out, you can do a Restore in iTunes (on the Summary tab).  That will erase the iPod and give you a fresh start, so you can sync it again from empty.

  • Why do I get an error that says my iTunes birary cannot be saved, there is not enough memory available. I hav Gbs of memory available.

    I am using a PC Windows 7 I have the newest iTunes available and I have a ton of space on my C drive as well as my external HD where my music files are stored.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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..

  • 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?

    just67 wrote:
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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 !

  • "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?

  • The operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available

    Illustrator CS5 Verison 15.1 on a MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013 Processor  2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3,
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB. Illustrator opens .ai and .pdf files. When I try to open a .dwg file, I get the following message, “The operation cannot complete because there isn’t enough memory (RAM) available”. I have been using the program for some time to successfully open .dwg files. This is a recent occurrence and I have not made any changes to the hard drive other than installing OS 10.9

    Have you already opened that specific file at some former time?
    Have you already tried a restart?
    Apart from that:
    Illustrator CS5 cannot use more than 3 GB of RAM, no matter how much is installed. OS 10.9 causes all kinds of problem even with newer versions of Illustrator.
