Music Library Won't Load, Memory Issue

Hi everyone:
I deleted all the songs from my iTunes, and then tried to reload my library (dragged the Music folder to the iTunes window). However, I have about 3000 songs and it only loaded to about 1900, with an error message stating that iTunes ran out of memory.
I have about 15gb left on my hard drive. It's not like I'm making another copy of the file...the mp3s are staying in the iTunes Music Folder, I just need them in my playlist. Can I allocate more memory to iTunes? How do I solve this problem?
Thank you!

You don't say much about your model computer, RAM, and nothing about the operating system so it is hard to help here.
15GB is running a drive not too far off the minimum needed for running OSX and not having serious problems. OSX takes lots of temporary space (on my computer it takes 6 GB for temporary files) and usually one leaves at least 15% of your hard drive free at all times. I would not let it go below 10GB.
"Memory" refers to RAM, not hard disk space. You don't say how much RAM you have but conceivably if this is an old computer running a newer OS you could be low on RAM. Try adding fewer files at one time.
There isn't a way to adjust memory that I know of, at least not since OS9 (are you using OS9?)

What can I do to get my Aperture library back?

***iPhoto Library won't load? HELP!

I had a problem with my external lacie drive.
disk warrior rebuilt the directory and the drive is fine.
Now however iPhoto will not load. At first it said I needed to upgrade the thumbnails and I did so but never knew if it was working?
I think the directory data file for iPhoto is messed up?
I really need to get my albums back up becuase that is how I sort my best
photos etc..
I have had lots of iphoto crashes and I'm in the process of getting a more stable program. I have about 20,000 pictures in there. And everytime this happens it's always a disaster.
As of now I have imported some new photos into iphoto to continue my work flow. So, now iPhoto thinks this is the Library. I don't know what it's doing now, is it putting these new pictures in the same iPhoto library that won't load now?
I tried to load the "modified" iphoto library folder since I am hoping this will bring up all my best photo's I would have edited and go from there. But it won't load from iphoto. So I'm copying the modified folder to another drive and will try that.
Any advice on how to fix this mess?
Much appreciated!

The remote app to control music library won't go portrait

When i control my music library on my Mac with the remote app on my iPad. It appears on the iPad only in portrait and won't turn to landscape when you turn the iPad since iOS7. Any thought?

Same problem, many threads on this now, looks like a bug for Remote in IOS7, hope they fix soon, no good to me in portrait mode.

My Home Shared Library won't load.

I need help here guys, I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes on both computers, the laptop with all the music can see the new PC's library, but when I tried to load the old library, it says "Loading Elijah's Library" for about 10 seconds and then nothing pops up, things return to the way they were before, I want to transfer all my music over, I did it once last time, but I had to wipe the new PC and start from scratch and now iTunes isn't working properly, help would be appreciated.

Also, sometimes when checking for new purchases on my library when it is loading, the ability to view that library under home sharing disappears completely

Shared Library Won't Load

I've been having absolutely no luck with this whole iTunes sharing thing in iTunes 9.
Firstly, my XP PC will not show up on either my Vista machine or my Mac. I've tried tweaking all the settings, nothing seems to work.
My Vista library will appear on my Mac, but when it's clicked, the library just says "Loading *'s Library" and refuses to actually load. The bar moves and such, but nothing ever comes up.
I should mention that my Mac loads up fine on both machines and plays normally.

Well, here we are in 2013, and this issue is still not fixed. I love my iPhone 4s, and I believe Apple makes the best mobile devises around, but Apple ***** so bad at interoperability, it is shameful. (I also love the fact that when I check the spelling using Apple's tool, the dictionary does not recognize 'iPhone.' LoL.)

After iTunes 11.1.3 & Mavericks - Music Library won't convert

I upgraded to Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.3 and now my iTunes library won't convert to the new format. It runs for about an hour (5+K songs, MAC Mini) and then fails. It did it twice. My music is still intact and plays perfectly with VLC, etc. How do I get a fresh start on the iTunes library. It's located on an external USB drive if that makes any difference.

I would either try the iTunes forum or the Mavericks forum

(PC) iTunes Music Library won't sync with my iPhone 4, not enough space?

I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right "Community area"?? If I'm in the wrong area, please point me in the right direction.
I am getting this Error Message coming up on PC:
The iPhone "UserName's iPhone" cannot be synced because there
is not enough free space to hold all the items in the iTunes library
(additional 513.13 MB required).
My phone is a 16G.
I currently have 13.15GB of music on my physical iPhone.
I have deleted all songs (except purchased ones) on my iTunes Library (on the PC), I now have it down to 107 songs.
When I go to [Settings], [Music] and choose [Sync Music, Entire music library], it comes up with the error message above.
How do I get rid of all songs on my iPhone except for my purchased ones so I can have room on my phone again?
I tried to use a program called 'TouchCopy 12' a while ago but it has really confused me and I have doubled up on some songs?
Help!
Thanks in advance...

It is possible that iTunes is slightly confused by what is and is not already on the device. In such cases it may think there isn't enough room when there should be. These steps will usually resolve such an issue:
Backup device.
Restore as a new device.
Restore the backup made earlier.
You should copy off the contents of the camera roll first unless you have Photo Stream set up and it reliably captures everything. It also assumes that all media content on the device is in your library. If that might not be the case see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

Final Cut Library Won't Load!

My Final Cut Library, based on an external drive, won't load. It gets stuck loading certain events.
It all began earlier when my Library WOULD open, but it would take 10-15 minutes to do so. I finally realized it was because it was attempting to access thousands of PNG files on an external drive that caused the hangup. Noticing that the local machine drive handled these files much better than my external drive, I moved the folder of media to my local drive with the goal of reconnecting the media files.
Then, when I opened up my Library in Final Cut (after taking 15 minutes to do so), the event with the trouble files contained NO CLIPS within it whatsoever (in fact, the star Event Logo wasn't present next to the name of the event). The clips were still in the sequence that I had cut in, but they would not open in the media browser at all.
Now, trying the main Library again OR the local backup (from the Movies folder), the app gets stuck once it opens. I can't click anything within it.
I'm stuck, don't know what to do, am on a deadline, and would sure love some help. Thank you to any kind and knowledgeble souls out there!

All the files were being linked to the folder on the same external drive at the library is on. I.e., I "left the files in place." I figured if I just renamed that external folder, the files would register as off-line in the event, and I could relink the event to the copy of the files on my internal drive. Granted, I did not know you could use the consolidated feature in Final Cut Pro to relocate original files. I did it by hand in the Finder. The weirdest part of all, is that the event still remains in the library within Final Cut, but it's only text with no event logo next to it, and if I selected, all the original clips that were in that event have vanished, meaning I can't select and relink them.
Unless I can try what you're saying of inserting the files directly into the event folder within the library package, I'm having to create a new event and import the new files from the internal drive clean. It requires me to redo all my edit with the graphic files, but it seems I don't have much other choice. Even if I were to replace the graphic files back into the original event folder, they would still be running off of the external Drive, which caused the problem in the first place. So far, accessing the graphic files off the internal drive has gone lightning fast.

Syncing iPad to iTunes music library won't work

Hi there. I am trying to sync one of our two iPads to iTunes - it works fine for photos but, when trying to sync the music library, although the blue audio bar shows that the songs are on the iPad, they don't appear in the Music app on the iPad - any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Old 2005 Video iPod - How do I take music off and add to my iTunes music library? And battery life issues...

I bought my husband a Video iPod clear back in 2005. I bought the 30GB serial No 4V544C1WTXK Model number A1136. Yes, very, very old. However, it is an Apple product and therefore should be good forever right? We actually rarely used it then and have not used it in years. I got it out and brushed it off the other day. I have two questions:
1- I have some great music on it that I would like to transfer into my iTunes music library. Is there a way to move it from the iPod into my iTunes library?
2- It isn't really holding a battery charge even when it's been charging for hours. Is there anything I can do about that? Do I need to replace the battery? Is there even a way to replace the battery?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

1- I have some great music on it that I would like to transfer into my iTunes music library. Is there a way to move it from the iPod into my iTunes library?
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
2- It isn't really holding a battery charge even when it's been charging for hours. Is there anything I can do about that? Do I need to replace the battery?
Given the age of the device and that fact that it wasn't used for a lengthy period of time, it's likely that the iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement. Lithium-ion batteries need constant activity in order to maintain any sort of charge. However, all batteries generally deteriote over time and lose their ability to charge.
Is there even a way to replace the battery?
Yes. You can choose to have Apple swap the battery for a new one for the price indicated on this page.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
You could also choose to send it to a third party service instead to have them swap it out at a much lower cost. A Google search for "iPod battery replacement" should give you a number of results to work with.

Music Videos won't load

I have tried several times to get the music videos in my music video playlist to load onto my iPod, but it's not working. The videos look like they're in the right format and I think I have the right settings in iTunes. Thanks!

Thanks Jeff! That would explain why it's not working. Drat!

Home sharing - library won't load

Details:
-home sharing is turned on for both windows computers
-I am logged in with the same apple id on both home share accounts
-I have disabled my firewall as a precaution
-both computers are connected to the same network
-I am using windows 8.1 on my computer, windows vista on the other
-both computers are using iTunes 12.0.1.26
So I can see the home sharing icon on both computers and I can see the names of the other computers on each one. When I click the other library I want to see, it says "Loading Bob's Library", but it never loads. Earlier it would try to load and then just go back to my library, but now it seems that it just keeps spinning like it is trying to load, but it never does.
I have seen and read the "trouble shooting" suggestions by apple, so please don't recommend those.
Thanks for the help.

Itunes library won't load to ipod mini after ipod to new computer transfer

I got a new computer and was able to transfer my ipod music into itunes; however, now my ipod has gone blank and it will not load the songs from itunes back onto the ipod. The ipod shows up on itunes, but has no songs listed. It shows that it is empty with a lock next to it on the bottom of the itunes screen.
Please help!
sony vaio Windows XP

As you have all of your songs safely back in iTunes then try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt you to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings
