Can't purchase? There is not enough memory available. There was an error in

I just started getting this error tonight from the itunes store. It works fine until I try to purchase a song and then I get this message:

"Could not purchase "song name". There is not enough memory available.
There was an error in the Itunes store. Please try again later."

I tried restarting computer, etc but that didn't help. I am using an older version of itunes (7.5.0.20?). Could this be the problem?
Does anyone know how to fix this or what is causing it?

I'm having the same problem with the error message saying there is not enough memory. My computer has plenty of memory. I just called Apple supprot and got the rudest technical person I've ever spoken to; he would not help me because I was on a PC not a Mac. This is evidently their problem and not a problem with all our computers. They need to fix it because we are trying to purchase music. I'm running version 7 and tried to download version 8.02 and got an error that it has an invalid signature and cannot be downloaded.

Let me get this straight. Apple isn't letting us know whether or not the issue will be resolved by apple with our older software, and other people think apple will force us to either update or be unable to purchase music/tv/movies.
Those messages they sent people from customer service were very ambiguous..
Anybody know where else I can purchase the latest episodes of grey's anatomy, ugly betty, gossip girl... etc. ?
PS. to the person who recommended that other people don't go out and buy backup like I did, I'm not a DUDE, i'm a girl. Okay.

Thanks for that hint- I tried it and it does work. The problem is that some albums don't have a list of top songs to download from...Anyways, I am totally convinced that they will not be fixing anything, otherwise they would have done it by now!!! I am sure this is just a way to force people like me that have old os x versions (I have os x 10.3.9) to have to buy Leopard for $130 bucks!!! I refuse to do that. *My brothers comp(pc) downloads songs fine...So what Im doing is purchasing through his, pause the downloads, and then in my mac check for purchases and they appear on my downloads so i can put them in my mac.* Kinda complicated...but It just infuriates me to be forced to purchase something so I can "buy" songs...So thats what Im doing until I figure out what else to do. Maybe it will help someone else who cant go spend 130 bucks for Leopard right now...
