iTunes Store thinks my disk is full and won't download??

I've had the same problem downloading movies from the iTunes store. It seems any larger files exhibit this symptom.

My iTunes library is on an airport-connected drive (new airport extreme (.11n) with an external HD connected via USB).

I have 80 gigs free, and everything else works fine. I got it to work once by:

1: ejecting the Airport-connected disk
2: turning off Airport on my MacBook Pro
3: re-connecting MacBook Pro to the APort Extreme Base via ethernet cable.
4: (then Airport-connected disk remounted, via ethernet)

I was lucky, and 3 or 4 movies downloaded in under an hour.

Tried replicating that method today - but no luck.

Anyone else having this problem? Digital hub my *.

i'm having the same problem. my music folder is on another server which i'm always connected to via a cat-6 connection so i don't understand why sometimes it works and sometimes the "disk is full". i have 32gigs available. i quite itunes, remounted the server, same problem. half the files from my recent purchase downloaded and the other half are stuck in limbo because of this stupid "disk full" but not really problem.

YAY im not insane! I'm having the same exact problem. I have a 500 gig USB2 drive connected to an Airport Extreme and have put an alias to my "iTunes Music" folder in the Music folder in my home folder. It has 300 gigs of free space and was working fine until the most recent update (7.3.2). I found a thread that addressed this very issues, error 34 i believe, from 3 months ago, but all it said was "the issue was fixed with the July Airport update." What ever they did to iTunes with the last update broke it again.

I'm having the exact same problem.

The one thing I noticed was that everyone in this thread is using network storage. I'm using a Lacie 500GB NAS disk with 48GB space left...

Anybody?

I'm using network storage as well ...but I switched to internal storage and have kept getting the same error.

With several people having issues it is looking more and more like and iTunes problem and not a localized issue. I hope they come up with a fix fast. It irritates me when I can't pay my tribute to Lord Jobs.

Did you set it in *iTunes> Preferences> Advanced> General* ?

When I changed to a Firewire disk it worked fine. Then I copied my downloads to my NAS disk. It's really annoying, but it works consistently.

I really hope that apple sort this out...it's obviously a bug, and I can't understand why it isn't sorted out yet.

Yeah, if you unplug your drive from the AirPort and directly into the machine, itunes works fine. But that is a pain and it doesn't change the existence of the bug.

P.S I just downloaded itunes 7.4, dont know if it will fix it, but heres hoping.

Well, obviously it doesn't get rid of the bug.

I was offering a work-around, not excusing the lack of effort from apple to sort this out.

Thanks 🙂

I tried iTues 7.4, still not working. I just downloaded 7.4.1 but I havent bought anything to see if it works.

No joy with itunes 7.4.1...

A better work-around:
I've found that if I navigate to my network disk in the finder, find a large file...say a 3GB movie for example... duplicate it and then when it finishes copying, delete it it seems to "free up space" or something so itunes will download away.

Hi,

I've got the exact same issue, macbook pro connected to airport port extreme, Lacie 500gb usb connected to the base station.

Just wanted to share ... this worked for me also.

Same here as well but I only needed to delete a movie file outside my iTunes folder on my external disk connect to my Airport Extreme. Very odd - I had plenty of space otherwise.
