Q: iTunes has stopped working. There is not enough memory

After the recent upgrade, I receive this notice whenever there is a change in the library. Checking using taskmaster in windows 7 shows plenty of memory.

null, iOS 8.4, iTunes

Well, thanks for the assistance but I gave up on the latest update and all the accompanying problems. I rolled back to 12.1.2.27 64 bit and there are no problems. I also turned auto update off. I had to re-import my library overnight and my playlists which I had saved, all of which made the process easier.

I hope I'm not the only one with issues.

Again, a real learning experience. Be well.

Smart playlists have the gear icon and are defined by rules.

Is the .itl file stored on your internal drive or the external?

Nope, don't use smart lists.
Here are the *.itl files on the "C:" drive. They appear to be from an old library location. ? DELETE ?
And also on the external "I" drive where the library is stored:

You may get a performance improvement from moving the 5 library files and the album artwork back to your internal drive, thereby "splitting" your library. See Make a split library portable for details. You could move the files back to the external and access them there before moving the library to a different drive or computer.

I appreciate your patience with this problem. I think it's time I give up on 12.2 and go back to an earlier version, something about 6 months ago. Any suggestions?

There are direct links to at least a years worth of older builds in the user tip, plus advice on how to restore an older version of your library compatible with the older build.
