"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?

  • 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.
    Only have to fill out you membership details.

  • What does it mean when itunes says itunes library file cannot be saved there is not enough memory availabe

    While downloading some music on Itunes, a dialog box keeps popping up. Says,"The iTunes Library File cannot be saved. There is not enough memory available." Am confused about what to do. Never had this problem before. Can someone please, help me?

    Exactly what it says. 
    Is there sufficient free space on the computers hard drive? 

  • "There was not enough memory" error message when saving DNG and Jpeg

    PC/Windows XP Pro. Pentium 4/2Gb RAM.
    I am constantly getting memory errors when trying to save batches of images from ACR4 either as Jpegs or DNGs.
    A couple of images in to the batch a small window appears with a list of the files and next to each of them is the line: "There was not enough memory."
    These are 220Mb TIFF files that are processed in Hasselblad's Flexcolor on the same computer. I can process an entire folder full (sometimes 50 images) without a hitch in Flexcolor, but Bridge/ACR4 and CS3 can't handle any reasonable number of images.
    Could it be something in my settings? For the record, they are:
    In Bridge, under Edit/Preferences/Camera RAW preferences, Camera Raw Cache is set to 10Gb. Jpeg and Tiff handling boxes are both ticked.
    Under Edit/Preferences/Cache, Cache Size slider is slightly over half way to the right.
    In addition, I have CS3 pointed to a formatted 500GB scratch disk all to itself.
    And CS3's RAM is set to 80%.
    Finally, this computer is used for nothing else except image editing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Thomas,
    Thanks for the reply.
    If you mean by "Public Beta", did I download the 10.4Mb plug-in (as per John Cornicello's link above) and install it at Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats in place of the old plug-in, then yes.
    I always run ACR4 via Bridge, never via CS3. CS3 always comes after conversion in my workflow. Also, I like to give Bridge/ACR a free run of available resources. Nothing else is ever open when I'm running them.
    In CS3 under Edit/Preferences/File Handling, under Image Previews I selected 'Never Save'. Not sure if this affects ACR though.
    Also, as per the suggestion in the article referred to in my last post, I removed the tilde ~ to activate the Bigger Tiles plug-in. CS3's memory % is now set @ 90%.
    The only thing I haven't done is to activate the Microsoft 3Gb switch. I can't find instructions that are clear enough. Also, it may be that it makes no difference when running Vista 64bit, as I am.
    For what it's worth, with these fine tunings, CS3 now executes the Retouch Artist's Speedtest in 20 seconds, a shade faster than before. This is extremely fast, so my setup should not be the problem here. I hope! ;-)
    Finally, is there any point in trying LR? Or is its file saving/cache setup the same as ACR's?
    Thanks for taking an interest in my case. I'm very happy to be a guinea pig since I will constantly have to process large numbers of files and I'd like to overcome this problem
    Many thanks.

  • IPod Classic 80GB - "iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" It says it has synced but it hasn't. Help please I am not very tech minded

    iPod Classic 80GB. Message reads ' iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation'.  It says it has synced but it hasn't. Please help, I am not very tech minded.

    See this article about troubleshooting the error message regarding access privelages.  It may be preventing your iTunes library from being able to save/retain music you have recently imported to it, which may explain why no new content is being added to your device.

    Thank you very much for your help anyway.
    Cheers everybody !

  • There is not enough memory error with 8gb installed

    Description:
    I'm getting an error when trying to copy or cut a collection of basic shapes in CS6 on Mac OS X 10.8.
    It reads:
    There is not enough memory to complete the operation.
    To increase available memory, close other open documents or applications.
    But when i check activity monitor there is plenty of memory available. I can succesfully copy a smal(ler) amount of shapes.
    Steps already taken:
    Tried copying after a system restart with no other programs running.
    Tried adding more memory (i had 4gb originally, I just upgraded to 8gb).
    I reinstalled Flash
    I tried the same procedure (copying the same amount of shapes) on another machine with a similar amount of RAM and this works fine.
    Is there a way you can allocate more memory to flash, or is this some setting that i'm missing?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    P.s. I read this thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/3609214#3609214, and my problem is only different in that i don't have some huge files i'm dealing with. The .fla is only ~10mb.

    Thanks for chiming in Mataxia.
    One thing you can try is selecting the layers that have the shapes you want to copy. Then right click and choose copy layers. In my case this works even though selecting just the shapes (instead of the layers) will cause the memory error.
    I'm using this as a workaround, but i can imagine that this isn't of any help in all cases.
    This confirms my suspicions that this is a bug in flash. Would be great if someone from Adobe were reading this...

  • "There was not enough memory" error, DNG conversion.

    I have CS4 and I like to convert my files to dng, however, I can't seem to do it on multiple raw files, because after fifty or so, I get the message, Incomplete because 'There was not enough memory.'
    I originally thought this may have had something to do with Bridge and trying to save way too many files through acr in bridge, since bridge is a bit of a ram hog at times and has cache issues, so I tried using the Adobe DNG Converter standalone application, and the same thing happened.
    I am trying to convert just over a thousand images, NEF, about 15M each.  I have several hundred gigs of HD space, GeForce 8600GT video, 2G ram, WinXP SP2.
    I track my actual memory usage and adobe dng converter has never used more than 6MB of memory.
    Anyone know why I can't convert my files?

    I want to try to reproduce this problem, a few questions...
    Which version of the DNG converter did you use (the latest is 5.5)?
    What camera produced the NEFs?
    What NEF settings did you use, if any, compressed, uncompressed, 14-bit, etc.?
    What DNG conversion settings did you use?
    Did the NEFs already have settings (XMP sidecar files?). If you did have settings, what kind of settings, just basic adjustments, or did the settings also include localized corrections, spot heals, etc.?
    Thanks,
    David

    I originally posted this in Photoshop but employee thought expertise was lacking in that forum and that I should move my question to this one.
    Seems very few Adobe CSx users use Bridge....go figure!
    Anyway getting error messages that there is not enough memory in Bridge to continue and I must restart Bridge.
    Refer to the above link for original question and all pertinant computer data.
    Seems this is a very prevelant problem in both the PC and MAC environment but Adobe has felt not important enough to help(see employee comment or lack thereof).
    Any help would be appreciated.
    I am not real "computer" saavy so please speak so("Idiots Guide To Adobe Bridge ; >) )

    Apparently not.  I'm still seeing it in the Photoshop Windows forum - though it's anyone's guess WHAT you'll see with this Jive Turkey forum software.

  • Lightroom 5 "not enough memory" error message

    After using Lightroom 5 for several months I started to have the message "not enough memory" during the export action. It started to appear ones in a while, then it became more frequent and now it comes in every single photo exported.
    I wonder if it is related to the library size as the only thing that changed in my computer since I started to use Lightroom is that I have increased the amount of pictures.
    I run Lightroom out of my hard disk and I store the raw files as well as the modified jpg pictures in an external hard disk. Both have enough space and the core memory size has not changed since the beginning. I try not to run any other program at the same time.
    I have seen that there are several discussions on this subject but it goes normally to increasing the size of the memory but it doesn’t explain why at the beginning the export was done very quickly and without problem and why the problem increased with the time (and with the size of the library°
    Is there a way to manage the library size?

    I have found a Work Around without changing or revamping my computer.
    As I have noticed that the problem came slowly after several months of using Lightroom I suspected that there was something accumulating in the memory space needed for the program. From the left menu bar where I had all of the imported files, I deleted the folders that I'm not using currently; this action didn't erase the files in the hard drive but deleted them from the program's memory.
    I noticed that now the program needs less memory space during normal use (developing) and when I do an export, the peak of memory usage that is needed for the operation does not reach the available memory space.

  • "not enough memory" error message

    Ive tried to update my apps and update my iphone software through my PC and I keep getting an error message stating "not enough memory" I have over 7GB available on my phone and more than 2/3 of my memory free on my hard drive..***!

    Just got the same answer. Seems this is a consistent thing really. Seemed to happen in previous releases also. When people have loads of ram free. So maybe Apple should thing about the debbuging and put a better error message in.
    Not sure if this will work for you but I found that if I did the updates one at a time it all worked swimmingly.
    But for Tech supports sakes, this is another user who hit this issue.

  • Itunes library cannot be saved. you do not have enough access privileges for this operation - error message

    I keep getting this message.  It just suddenly started happening!

    Actually, yes I used to have MS Antispyware installed, but now I have uninstalled it and upgraded to the Windows Defender program, which was supposed to be a replacement.
    good lord.
    okay, we would get some reports of people getting an "you don't have enough access privileges" message with regard to setting itunes as the default music player if they had MS Antispyware beta running during an itunes install.
    let's try an experiment. try switching Windows Defender off prior to opening itunes.
    do you still get the access privileges error message?
    love, b

  • Cannot open Labview 7 without "not enough memory" error

    I get the "not enough mempry to complete this operation" as Labview is opening. I have tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling. No good. There is 512 Mb in this system should be plenty to open Labview. Any ideas? Labview will also not open a vi. It says it cannot find it (the one I selected for it to open). It tries to load it and all subvi's but cannot get past the first vi.

    I figure there are two possiblities. LabVIEW is poorly installed on your system causing the error or your VIs are corrupted. You can test the former by installing LabVIEW on another computer. If you can open the VIs there, consider contacting NI for ways to more throughly remove NI products from your machine. To test the latter, see if you can create new VIs in 7, save, close, and reopen them. You can also see if other VIs on your machine open. If your VIs are corrupted, then try to open them in your older LV, copy the Block Diagram over to a new VI, save, and open in LV 7.0. At the very least, you can get a screen shot of the diagram.
    Good luck!!

  • Not enough memory ERROR message showing on my iPhone.  HELP!
