***!!!!! *Not Enough Memory, And Itunes Store Error Has Occured- try later*

I get this error message:
"We Could Not Complete Your itunes Store Request. There is not enough memory available.
There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later."
When I try to:
* Listen to a preview of a song in the itunes store
* Watch a Movie or TV program I BOUGHT from the itunes store
* Or try to download my ALREADY PAID FOR songs from the itunes store
No matter WHAT I do... this shows up. I've updated everything there is to update (yes, including the Quicktime shiz), and am running itunes on a BRAND SPANKING NEW macbook... the best you can get... so I highly doubt it's a hardware problem in the computer itself (i.e...not enough memory on comp).
IF ANYBODY knows what to do... PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!! Of course Apple won't write back with anything of value to this, nor do they know what to do when I try contacting them by phone.
sooooooooooooooooo annoying!!!!!!!!
thanks

Hello, everyone,
I just spent almost 2 hours with Apple support team to figure out what this problem is and they never heard about it before. Apparently, some cache files build up and something gets corrupt and affects the memory for iTunes to run the purchased songs. The solution we found that worked in my computer is:
1. restart it
2. once you hear the loud sound of the computer starting, press down "shift" and hold it. This will deactivate great part of everything running in the computer.
3. stop holding "shift" when you see the image of the spinning wheel, right below the apple symbol in the middle of the screen.
4. Log in. Let the computer fully start.
5. Once it's done, restart your computer again, but this time don't hold any key.
6. Log in. Let the computer fully start. Now, try your iTunes with a purchased song. It should play any song regularly now.
Hope it helps. I was having the same problem since New Year's Eve but Kevin, from Apple (California), was the best and figured it out this morning!
Cheers!

    Trying to back up my phone before I upgrade the software to the IO7..... When I try to manually back up now to ITunes,  I get the message "ITunes can not back up IPhone because an error has occured". I have rebooted the phone and computer. Any advise?

    Close iTunes & navigate to:

  • Getting " Not enough memory for the operation error " in BOE

    Hi,
    We are using BOE 11.0.
    we try to schedule a new report with multiple database logins for testing in BOE. When we run the report we are getting error like "Not enough memory for the operation error"
    The same report has been executed successfully when we run using Crystal reports developer. The report is fectching less than 10K records from all the databases together.
    Please let me know which is causing the issue and also let me know is there any limit in the number of databases connecting for a single report.
    many thanks in advance for all your help.
    Cheers,
    Suri ;-)

    Hi Sarthan,
    Sorry. I'm new to BOE. We know only scheduling the reports creating folders etc. :-)
    I've seen one parameter "Maximum Cache Size Allowed (KBytes)" and the value for this parameter is 5000.
    If we change it to a big number whether we can solve the issue ? Please suggest.
    Cheers,
    Suri ;-)

  • I am trying to download an app on my iphone and when it asks me to sign in to my account i get a message "Could not sign in. An unknown error has occurred." Do any of you know what is wrong?

    I am trying to download an app from Itunes on my Iphone and i keep getting a message saying " Could not sign in. An Unknown error has occurred." Does anyone know why i'm getting this message? I have had the same password for years so that is not why...

    The RC helicopter's directions say its available in the App store for Apple and here it is in the iTunes store:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icess/id558793179?mt=8 (released on 6/19/2013)
    How do I get this to show up on my iPad and/or iPod touch app stores so I can then download and install it as needed?

  • I am trying to download an app and keep getting this error message: "Could not sign in. An unknown error has occurred" keeps popping up.

    This is a question for a mini iPad...
    I am trying to download an app and keep getting this error message: "Could not sign in. An unknown error has occurred.  I have tried shutting down and restarting. I've tried changing the password. I get the error message with free and not free apps. Any suggestions on how to fix?

    Reports are that this is a problem with the iTunes Store that they're working on. Some people have had success after signing out of their account and back in. If that doesn't work for you, wait a few hours or perhaps until tomorrow and by then they may have the problem sorted out.
    Regards.

  • "Not enough memory in target location" error in de...

    When I try to download and "save to device" any files from any website of any size, I am receiving the "Not enough memory in target location" error. It's very frustrating . To reproduce I only need to do a "long tap" on the google image on the default google page and select "save image as" and select any location (eg. documents, root (MyDocs), create new folder) and I get the error. Once the error is displayed, most of the time I can't get rid of it and need to do an "End current task" to close the browser.
    I have checked the output of a "df -h" and there is PLENTY of space on all volumes, including rootfs (95.1M Free) and /dev/mmcblk0p1 (25.9G Free!).
    I've tried flushing the '/home/user/.mozilla/microb' directory and deleting the '/home/user/.browser' file also.
    I can transfer files from my PC connected in Mass Storage mode with no problem, I can also create directories and files from X-Term also with no problem.
    The only information I can find on this error is related to rootfs being out of space when trying to install an app or update...but this is not my problem.
    I have a feeling it could be a permissions issue, anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi cpitchford. I have a similar problem. I can't save a bookmarks in the MicroB explorer. The system says "Not enough memory". I read your post and send you the screenshot for the xterm. Thank you for your time. Let me know if you need more informartion about the issue

  • The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (3). How do I fix this?

    I had a problem with my iPhone 5 connecting to my service provider (verizon) and also to the internet just minutes after I had used the internet to browse before work this morning.  I tried soft reset, hard reset, and connecting to my computer, but nothing worked to get it back to normal.  I decided to do a system wipe and restore it as well, but I get that error: "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (3)."  I googled that and searched for literally 7 hours without any luck.  Any and all help is appreciated.  Thanks!

    This has just happened to me today. I have an iphone 5 on Verizon. I was using the internet on the device normally when it started. It couldn't access any online data even though it had 4 bars of service and LTE. I restarted it and it would be stuck "Searching for network". I tried wiping the phone with no luck. It gets stuck at around 99% of the firmware restore process and hangs there for about 25 minutes before itunes gives me the error described above. I tried the recover-mode restore with the same results.
    I need a working phone ASAP, this is extremely frustrating!

  • The iPod " " could not be updated. An unknown error has occurred (1417).

    This is what saved my day... I copied this from a longer reply.
    "Try this: I got error 1417. The iPod "Dan's iPod" could not be updated. An unknown error has occurred (1417).
    1)Plug in your iPod and wait for iTunes to tell you an update for it is available
    2)Click the Install button on that dialog and keep an eye on your iPod
    3)When your iPod screen switches from the flashing "Do Not Disconnect" message to the Main Menu screen, unplug the iPod, wait a couple SECONDS, plug the iPod back in
    4)You should notice some slow-down in the progress meter and a new dialog box should come up and tell you your iPod is being updated and to not disconnect it until the update finishes
    5)That's it. Wait for the update to finish and iTunes will re-recognize it and show its new up-to-date status."
    The only thing I would add, restart your computer with the IPOD left connected. When it starts back up you are set.

  • The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (11).

    I recieved an iPod from a friend of mine. He has bought a new one and is currently using it with his apple ID. I have plugged in the iPod he gave me and attempted to restore it. When it goes through most of the restoration process the error "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (11)." pops up. The iPod is also stuck on a screen with a USB cord pointing twords the iTunes icon, i shut it off then turn back on and this image is still on the screen. The iPod also does not appear in MyComputer. It does appear in iTunes but it only has the name, no serial number, capacity, or software version. I also re-installed iTunes.  I am using windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite A665 laptop.
    I would appreciate any help that anyone has to offer.
    Thank you.

    Eliana,
    If you have some file corruption, one thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
    Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

    Are you getting an error code?
    Try resetting the App Store.
    Reset       Learned from Old Toad
    If that doesn't work:
    - Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
    - Quit the App Store
    - In Finder - Go>Go to folder...  (or Apple-shift-G)
    - Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
    - It will take you to a folder.  Delete com.apple.appstore
    - Launch the App Store.  Sign in and then reclick the Mountain Lion buy.  It won’t charge you again.
