Library - maximum size?

I've had a problem with my MacBook Pro for a long time - the dreaded spinning wheel comes on often and sometimes it takes up to 30 seconds to go away. Plus, I will crash in iTunes every so often. The song just stops playing. I'll still be able to access other programs and I can shut down iTunes. But I can't restart iTunes - I get a message that the library is locked. The only way to reopen iTunes is to turn off and on my computer.
In my attempts to fix the issue, I upgraded the memory to the max 3gb, limited the programs that open at startup and keep open programs to a minimum. Nothing helped.
Today, I took it the apple store. They ran an in depth hard disk analysis program and found nothing wrong. The tech suggested that it was the size of my iTunes library. He said there was no documentation about library size causing a problem, so he was just guessing.
I use a 1TB external drive for my music. I swapped external drives and still had the same problem. My library has 50,000 plus songs and uses about 600gb. Is this over the top and could it be the culprit?

The comments section has several tips concerning playlists and playlist folders that may slow thing down.
Sorry I can't offer a more helpful solution.

  • Is there a maximum size for iTunes library

    Is there a maximum size for the iTunes libary for windows 7?

    Not as far as I know.
    My Music Library has 17080 songs (108.38 GB) in it, plus films, Podcasts and a few iTunes U programmes, and I am aware of others using this forum who have larger libraries than I do.

  • Maximum size of a library

    Hi there,
    I'm wondering if anyone has an idea on a maximum size for a library...I have about 50k photos, almost all DNG or large scans or large format negatives, and my Lightroom runs slowly.  It may run slowly for one of any number of things, but I thought I'd ask the community about library sizes as one of the possibilities while I'm thinking about it.
    Thank you!

    As much RAM as your OS can use. 3 GB in the case of 32 bit (and this usually means 4 GB as it is best to have matching modules of RAM, so 2 x 2 GB RAM modules on most machines). 8 GB or more on 64 bit OS's like OSX or WIndows 7. The quickest way to find out how much can go in your machine is to visit Crucial and download their tool. This will make recommendations based on your system.

  • Maximum size of upload file using Cross Domain Library

    Hi All 
    I need to know what is the maximum size of file that I can upload using Cross Domain Library from my Provider hosted app. I know that in msdn it is written that usign REST call we can upload upto 2GB but I have doubts if it is true with Cross domain library
    REST Calls. Please suggest.
     spExecutor.executeAsync(
                                   url: fileCollectionEndpoint,
                                   method: "POST",
                                   contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
                                   body: filedata,

                                   headers: { "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(), "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose" ........
    And Can I pass ArrayBuffer directly or I need to pass only binary string ?
    Thanks in Advance 

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to know the Maximum size of upload file using Cross Domain Library.
    Per my knowledge, you can upload files up to 2 GB with the REST API. 
    You can refer to:
    How to: Upload a file by using the REST API and jQuery
    In addition, you can pass ArrayBuffer directly. Please refer to:
    FileCollection methods

  • Maximum size for document column data

    Good afternoon:
    I am trying to upload a new document to my search index that has a field containing PDF searchable text data at a size of 247 KB. I am getting the following in a 207 response:
    One or more document fields are too large to process.
    What is the maximum size of data for upload? I checked this link (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn798934.aspx) but I'm not sure it is defined here. Thanks!

    Hi Pablo,
    I recently encountered the same syndrome (using the 2014-07-31-Preview API). I looked at the data we are trying to send, and one of the fields is having about 78 KiB of text. That field is marked as "searchable"
    and "suggestions". Would the presence of "suggestions" imply a similar limit to field size?
    I can see now the "suggestions" attribute has been removed from the latest API. If I switch to the latest, and use only "searchable", I'm assuming the issue should possibly go away?
    Thanks. 

  • Is there a maximum size limit for a single file?

    I haven't been able to find a statement of the maximum size of a file. We're looking at storing several 5-10gb files in one file library.
    Is it possible?
    How badly would that impact performance?

    maximum size of a file. All files are stored as Binary Large Objects (BLOBs), A BLOB max size is (4 gigabytes -1) * (the value of the CHUNK parameter of LOB storage). Oracle Content Services configures its LOBs to have a 32K chunk size
    Note that there is a overhead by storing large files, you should compress your files if possible before storing them.
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25553_01/collab.1012/b25492/contentservices.htm#CACHJJGI
    How badly would that impact performance?Compared to what? Oracle ASM gives you the ability to stripe your content over hundreds of physcal disks to improve the performence. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/asm/index.html

  • Aperture database maximum size

    is there any recommendet maximum size for Libs ?
    I´m using an iMac 4GB RAM Intel dual core

    Don't know what the absolute limit might be; there are some here with well over 100,000 images. Practical limits are:
    -- Around 10,000 images in a single project. As I think of projects as rolls of film, my largest is only 200-300 images.
    -- Physical disk space. A "managed" library cannot span more than one logical volume. But the largest element in your library is likely to be your master images, not your indices or previews, so by moving your master images out of the library ("referenced" masters) you can scatter them over any number of volumes. As shown by Kevin Doyle's research, only the indices/versions/previews need be on a fast drive. So, with the masters removed from your library, and the library placed on a fast, internal drive, you can manage a lot of images. Takes a little care and attention, but works very well. (Sierra Dragon, among others, is a strong proponent of this structure. Search some of his posts.)
    The occasional defrag of the library itself speeds up scrolling, searching, and exporting. The master images themselves, as they are never rewritten, do not fragment. (Unless, of course, they were fragmented when first written.)
    What is your problem or worry?

  • Set Maximum size for a subpanel created with splitter bars in LV8

    Does anyone know how to set the Maximum size for a subpanel created with asplitter bar? If I show one cluster in the subpanel and use the scroll bar to scroll, I can see more (blank) area than I want. I just want the user to be able to scroll a cluster within a subpanel while the cluster is larger than the view area of the subpanel. I don't want to let the user scroll outside the cluster.

    I apologize for the mixup in terminology. Please read Pane wherever the word Subpanel was used.

  • Set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF

    Hi All,
    How to set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF.
    I have a RTF whch is having a field in that i need to add some validation condition but after adding certain condition in Add help text tab ,it is not accepting after certain length, how i can increase the length to unlimited,please help me on this
    Thnaks

    Form fields have some restrictions if your are using version lower than 11g.
    They can accommodate only 393 chars. You can add the text in both status bar and help key, which can in total consume 393 chars.
    If your code logic is more than that, it can be split into multiple form fields as Avinash suggested or you can use sub template logic and handle coding over there. Again in sub template code can be within/outside form fields.
    So there is no option for user to increase the size of form field.

  • SharePoint Foundation 2010 maximum size WID

    Hi,
    I've installed SharePoint Foundation 2010 using the Windows Internal Database. I'm a bit confused about the maximum size of the database. On several websites I read that the max size for an SQL express database is 4GB.
    Is this the same as the Windows Internal Database? Or can it grow bigger?

    Are you sure you mean the Windows Internal Database? The SharePoint foundation installer will install SQL Server Express edition.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 Security Event Log Maximum Size

    I have a customer with logging requirements on domain controllers that are exceeding the maximum log size they have configured for the security log.  When they attempted to increase the maximum size of the security event log via Group Policy, the settings
    did not take effect.  When an attempt was made to increase the security event log manually on the domain controller via the properties of the log, an error is generated whenever the value was changed.
    The Maximum Log Size specified is not valid.  It is too large or too small. The Maximum Log Size will be set to the following: 196608 KB
    The 196608 KB value is the value that it is currently set at.  Testing on other logs, application, system, has lead to the same result.  
    wevtutil.exe sl security /ms:<n> produces similar results.  There is no error message given but the value doesn't change when you run wevtutil.exe gl security
    When viewing the registry value MaxSize under HKLM\Current Control Set\Services\EventLog\Security the change is reflected, but the log does not seem to get any larger.  
    What one would expect to be a two minute change in a group policy object has turned into something much more difficult.  Any idea what could be causing this?
    Joseph M. Durnal MCM: Exchange 2010 MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator, Exchange 2010 MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator, MCITP: Enterprise Administrator

    I verified that it was not another policy - the domain is pretty simple without many policies, only policies applied are:
    Default Domain Policy (no event log settings)
    Company Domain Policy (no event log settings)
    Default Domain Controller Policy (no event logs settings)
    Company Domain Controller Policy (...\Event Log\Maximum security log size 4194240 kilobytes)
    The value was 196608 before, the plan was to change the group policy setting to 4194240 and I expected it to be that easy.  However, the values didn't change.
    4194240 is divisible by 64
    Used multiple tools to try and change
    Group Policy
    Event Viewer
    wevtutil.exe
    registry editor
    While some of the methods display a larger event log, the actual size of the event log still seems to be limited to 196608 kb.  
    Thanks,
    Joe

  • How can i increase the maximum size of a text column in Access

    hello,
    i am inserting data in the MS-Access database through my servlet and am getting the exception whenever the length of the text data is more than 255 characters as in Access the maximum size for character data column is 255 can anyone tell me if there is any way by which i can increase the maximum limit of the column size in Access ,i.e. to make it more than 255.

    A text field in Access has a maximum size of 255 characters. If you want to store text information in Access larger than 255, you need to use the memo rather than text data type. There are special considerations for using an Access memo data type and accessing it through JDBC. Specifically, I believe it must be accessed as a binary object (BLOB), rather than text when using the JDBC-ODBC bridge. There are lots of discussions within these forums regarding how to manage, and the issues with using the Access memo data type.
    Good luck!

  • I want to set a maximum size for pictures when FF shows websites. How can i do that? NO I DONT MEAN "HOW TO ZOOM".

    I have FF 34 but this problem has been there for a lot of earlier versions. On many webpages there are pictures that cover my whole screen, and I want to set maximum size for showing images on webpages.
    I ONLY wanr to change the maximum size of the images, AND IAM NOT asking about how to zoom the webpage.

    Do you want to hide large images or merely make them smaller by setting a max-width and max-height?
    You would probably have to use JavaScript (bookmarklet) to achieve this reliably.
    There are bookmarklets to make large images fit in the window to avoid a horizontal scroll bar
    You can try this code in the <b>userContent.css</b> file (adjust the max-width accordingly).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userContent.css
    <pre><nowiki>img { max-width: 1024px !important; height: auto !important; }</nowiki></pre>
    The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
    *Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
    *Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
    *Paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
    *Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css.<br>Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file

  • Forms: How to set a maximum size in Text Fields with automatic size

    ¡Hi!
    When I set a text field on my forms and I use automatic size for te text that the user can write, if the user don't need more space than the field size, when the text appears, Adobe Acrobat Pro always set the text-size to 14 or higher. How can I set a maximum size for that text? For example... 12 or 10...
    Thank you very much,
    Best regards from Spain,
    David.

    Ok. If I use a single line text field, changing the height of the field seems to be a simple way to solve the problem, but... what should I do when the fields are multi-lineal?
    Thanx for your quick answer.
