itune library won't save - not enough memory

Its a message from within itunes about memory rather than hard drive space (currently running itunes library off 2TB ext HDD) and it comes up when itunes boots up

This problem has only just started and it relates to the library for itunes rather than the file themselves!

Have attempted to import back up library file but again it says that there is not enough memory 😟

Any ideas?

"The itunes library cannot be saved. There is not enough memory" is the message and it appears when I open itunes up.

I first assumed this was a corrupt library file so I re-created a few of the playlists and exited the programme as normal. On restarting the application I was again to that "The itunes library cannot be saved. There is not enough memory"

So I imported a back up library file that I update when I add any books etc to the library through the File > Library > Import function (has always worked in the past) and it loaded fine and I exited the programme OK. On restarting however I got the "The itunes library cannot be saved. There is not enough memory" message.

The only changes I have made between itunes working and not working is to update it! So I uninstalled it, re-downloaded it and reinstalled. Same problem. Oh and to top it off, I can no longer see my Apps within itunes so some advice on how to get them back would be appreciated

thanks for any help!!! Frustrated 😟

Now trying to get through to apple support on the phone - here goes my overdraft!!
