ITunes error message at startup

Hi!
(I've got a 17" pb and 1 gb ram in it, the hard disk isn't nearly full..)
ok, when I start iTunes (which worked perfectly earlier today)
I get this message:
"The iTunes application could not be opened. There is not enough memory available."
it has never happened before, I even tried turning off all the programs, even finder , to "make the computer lighter"
anybody else get that message?

You have likely already tried a full shut down and restart, but if not try that. If still getting error try running 'Activity Monitor' in utilites folder and selecting 'Real' column to sort by memory usage by program. You may find a surprise there / a program which shouldn't be using much memory that is hogging the system. I've had this happen resulting in by PB's processor running hot and turning on the fan (very annoying!) - and using Activity Monitor to quit the process has helped. If this doesn't work, post back.

  • ITunes error message on startup

    Hi,
    When I opened iTunes today I get the message:
    "iTunes was not properly installed. If you want iTunes to be able to retrieve CD infromation from the internet, you need to reinstall iTunes."
    This is the first time it has happened, and doesn't go away on startup.
    The only thing that may have caused this was starting iTunes without the external disk connected, but I'd be surprised it messes up iTunes programme.
    Any recommendations to remove the error? I really don't want to install iTunes again, what a lot of work!
    Thanks

  • ITunes error message - "video format is not supported by the iPad" My video is mp4, mpeg-4.

    When syncing my iPad 2....  Why do I get this iTunes error message? "video format is not supported by the iPad"
    My video is mp4, another is mpeg-4.
    I thought the iPad 2 could play almost any format.

    Must conform to these specs:
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    Or download an alternate video player,such as avplayerhd.

  • I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error.

    I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error. (-50). my icloud drive was stuck in an upgrade cycle, but i've stopped that and still get the error message.

    I restarted itunes and tried again (based on a similar question/solution from 2012).
    I don't get the error message anymore, but it's really sort of odd that after step one of sync, it looks as if sync stopped, and then all of a sudden you see step 4 of sync.
    Also before the upgrade I had 7+ gigs of space free and after the upgrade I have 10 gigs free. seems like something is amiss, but it's not like I have anyway of determining that.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    iTunes Error Message 'The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-50).  How do I correct this error?

    I know this doesn't help you Bud, but I've had this issue for at least the last couple of versions.  If I can ask, what is you enviornment like?  Local PC only, libray saved on another PC/Server? 
    In my case my library is on Windows 2003 server with the share mapped to drive M:  This has worked for many years through both XP and Windows 7 until and update a while ago.

  • ITunes error message: "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You have exceeded your storage quota on the disk you are attempting to use." What do I do?

    I recently started receiving the following iTunes error message when I attempt to update the software on my iPad or iPhone: "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You have exceeded your storage quota on the disk you are attempting to use."
    Any ideas what I need to do? The software won't update on my iPad, and I need to update through iTunes, as my iPad does not have enough free space to use the OTA service.

    You need to free up space on your boot drive.
    (I am going to ask the mods move this to the MacBook Pro forum.)

  • Itunes error message 2

    When opening itunes, error message 2 pops up, stating Apple Application support is required.  It tells me to uninstall and reinstall itunes.  Should I do this and will I loose my library?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
