ITunes library could not be saved. Not enough memory

I just began to get the dreaded "iTunes Library could not be saved. Not enough memory" error after downloading a concert DVD.  I have 8 GB RAM and 1.54 TB of hard drive space available.  I am running Win 8.1 and iTunes 11.4.0.18 which iTunes says is the latest version.  Closing and restarting iTunes makes no difference.  Shutting down all other applications makes no difference.  Any ideas???

Might be something here that will help >  iTunes Store: "Error (-50)" when downloading purchased content

  • ITunes library could not be saved

    I recently installed iTunes on a new PC and had all my old files transferred over to the new hard drive. All my music loaded onto iTunes but after a few days I noticed an error message on the screen saying 'The iTunes library could not be saved, there is not enough memory available'. I still have over 200 GB left on the PC's hard drive so I'm not sure what's causing this message to appear. Any suggestions on how to stop it?

    please help.I need a help quick

  • The iTunes Library could not be saved.  An unknown error occurred -50

    I moved my itunes to an external drive that I am accessing wirelessly (it is pugged into by time capsule).  When I open itunes I can see and access all of my songs and videos fine but I keep getting the error message "The itunes library could not be saved.  An unknown error occurred -50".  This must have something to do with moving itunes to the external drive but I can't figure out how to stop this message.  I am running itunes 10.4.1 on Mac OS 10.7.1.
    Can someone please help?
    Thanks,
    Lisa

  • The file "iTunes Library" could not be opened because it was created ...

    Hi, I get this error message when starting iTunes: The file "iTunes Library" could not be opened because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
    I get this message after running a software update when iTunes announces a newer version is available.
    I have ver 7.4.2 (4)
    Am I doing something wrong? or is there a fix?
    Thanks.

    The update should've done this for you. But if, for whatever reason, you have an icon in your dock that's launching an old version of iTunes you should do a little investigating. Try this...
    - open your Applications folder and see if you have one version of iTunes in there (one icon).
    - highlight the icon and "GET INFO" to see what version it is.
    - if it's the updated version, replace the icon in your dock with the icon for the newest version
    Tossing out or swapping icons in the dock doesn't do any harm. But having an old icon will most definitely launch the old version it was associated with. Like I mentioned though, the update should have done this automatically. I would think back about how you updated just to make sure something else didn't go awry. Losing an iTunes library can be a drag.

  • "iTunes Library could not be found" question

    This is for iTunes 10 running Snow Leopard on an LED iMac.
    I created a new Library and my old one won't open. Both are in an external drive.
    When I option, open it I get the "an iTunes Library could not be found" message. All of the music is still in there, I can see it. I'm not sure what's going on but I'm wondering if I could import the songs (about 2000mp3's), artwork, etc., to a new Library. I don't care about playlists and such.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.

    My immediate thought is if it has to do with the naming of the files.  I haven't tested this but I wonder if you kept the name of the actual library file the default name instead of adding "Niki" if it would then work just selecting the folder. In other words, if iTunes has instructions if you select a folder to then check for a specific file inside that folder, and by your renmaing the file it no longer sees exactly "iTunes Library.itl" and doesn't know to search about inside that folder for a library file with any other name.
    Somewhere in my references (not sure where) I recall something about library file naming conventions.  I'm not sure if they are in:

  • The file "itunes library" could not be read

    I just barely got a brand new mac and transferred my files from my old mac electronically via the prompt when initially starting up the computer through the wireless connection. I just tried to open iTunes for the first time and it won't open because the error message, "The file 'iTunes Library' cannot not be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." How do I find this file and remove it so that my iTunes will open?

    Welcome to the forums Nelchie
    In your Home/Music folder you will see a folder 'iTunes'. Inside that is your iTunes Music folder (don't touch that - it's where all your music is.) You should also see there a iTunes Library file, that's the one you want to move out. You MAY have to add the contents of the iTunes Music folder when you relaunch iTunes.
    If you want your old playlists, do this : locate a file called iTunes Music Library.xml on your old machine and copy it to the desktop of your new Mac. Then, in iTunes use the Import command to get that file into iTunes, and hopefully all your playlists will appear.

  • Problem with file share from iTunes to iPad - not enough memory

    Hi
    I've got iTunes (10.7.0.21) installed - latest version.
    On my iPad I have an app - OpenSong. I need to transfer a number of files to this app throug Application - File share (don't know if this is the correct description, I use a Danish version).
    I want to add around 750 small files (1-3 kb) to the iPad. The problem is that it only will copy around 30-60 files at a time before iTunes comes with a box indication that the program encountered a problem and cannot copy the file xxxxx. "Not enough availabel memory".
    I then have to close iTunes and continue from where I came to. If i don't, that is I try to copy again, iTunes frequently crashes.
    iPad 3, 64 GB - plenty of free memory
    Win 7, 4 GB RAM, plenty of free disc space. Windows and iTunes fully updated.
    Anyone got an idea? Or how do I report this to Apple?

    Hi Damse,
    I have the same problem. I also have about the same number of small files to transfer to the iPad. The point at which the transfer through iTunes to the iPad varies within the range you describe. I also have taken to loading in as many files as I can, integrating them into the applicatiom, ejecting the iPad, and stopping and starting iTunes again and repeating the process.
    Best regards,
    Bob Charest

  • "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?

  • I have a new PC and I am getting the message "The iTunes Library File cannot be saved.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."  I am the only one using this PC and I have Windows 7 Pro and have an administrator account.  Help

    Can anyone help me with this problem.  ITunes message," The iTunes library file cannot be saved.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."   I have administrator account and transferred files from old PC.  I downloaded new iTunes program on new PC.  I synced my iPhone to new PC, no problem.  I deleted old account after indicating shared files to new admin account.  Can anyone help?

    A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
    I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
    I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them!

  • I keep getting dialog box saying " The itunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"  I am the only user on this computer and only one library! how do i change access privileges please?

  • "The iTunes library file cannot be saved.You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."

    keep getting       '' the itunes library file cannot be saved. you do not have enough access privledges''  when ever i try to add or change my library, why? have tried  several suggestions on the internet to stop this from happening but with no success. i am running windows 7. has started happening since installing new security software. would this have anything to do with this problem? any suggestions

    The location of the iTunes Library file may be read-only or owned by a different user.
    Default locations:
    XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<login>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    Vista: C:\Users\<login>\Music\iTunes
    Windows 7: C:\Users\My Music\itunes
    Right click the iTunes folder and choose Properties
    Look at the Attributes and see if Read-Only is checked.
    Uncheck it and click OK, at the apply to all subfolders and files prompt, make sure all subfolders and files is selected and click OK.
    If your iTunes library saves now you are done.
    If it does not you will need to try on each directory above the iTunes directory.
    Of course if you are not using the default locations you'll have to alter the path to the one you find in iTunes Edit->Preferences, Advanced tab.
