What does it mean when you get a "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. There is not enought memory available." ? And what can I do to correct it?

Well, I installed the latest iTunes this AM, works perfectly. Although for some reason it did lock up after playing a song today.
Horror stories? That's a bit overly dramatic.
No, it isn't.
The issue you are experiencing is one that has occurred in multiple versions of iTunes, a simple search would have revealed this.
A simple search was conducted, no one seemed to have an answer. Do you always adopt such a haughty attitude? Or was I just lucky.

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?

TS1717 keep getting "the itunes library file cannot be saved." there is not enough memory available. then itunes crashes. anyone else having this issue?

error code keeps popping up-the itunes library file cannot be saved. there is not enough memory available. then itunes crashes? anyone else having this issue?

Yes, I'm getting the same issue

Help! I always get an error: "The iTunes library fil cannot be saved...."

The error is: "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occured (-1450)." What is wrong??? After the error no songs I add stay in the library, only files I added before the error. I tryed re-installing, but after a while I get the same error again. What is wrong? My new iPod is coming and I want to put all my CD's in iTunes but they wont stay!

O.K., OMG, found the problem, for some reason the folder in which the iTunes library file is stored is marked read-only for some reason, but when I turn read-only off, it comes on right after again, know how do I fix this?

That means that if you use online maps, it will consume data. If you're on WiFi, no worries. If you are on cellular data, then it will eat into your cellular data plan.

It usually means some system files are missing or corrupted. Reinstalling OS X is the fix:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

HT1660 what does this mean: "the itunes library file cannot be saved. you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

HELP PLEASE! What does "The itunes library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."

Hi, DickmoAZ.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue.

HT203175 I'm getting the message: The Itunes library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this opeation." What gives?

I'm getting the message: The Itunes library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this opeation." What gives?

That can sometimes be produced by real-time back-up utilities/services interfering with writes to the iTunes library files.
Are you using a real-time backup? (Carbonite, Mozy, Black Blaze?)

Why do i get a pop up saying"the Itunes library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access priviledges for this operation" when i add music to my itunes library?

ITunes error message: "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You have exceeded your storage quota on the disk you are attempting to use." What do I do?

I recently started receiving the following iTunes error message when I attempt to update the software on my iPad or iPhone: "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You have exceeded your storage quota on the disk you are attempting to use."
Any ideas what I need to do? The software won't update on my iPad, and I need to update through iTunes, as my iPad does not have enough free space to use the OTA service.

You need to free up space on your boot drive.
(I am going to ask the mods move this to the MacBook Pro forum.)

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?

hi I keep getting the dialog box " The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
How do i amend this as i only have one account and one library. I cannot save new work or delete duplicate files

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!

Hi pholewinski!
I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:
