Q: iTunes (10.4.0.80) on Windows 7 memory leak

I leave my computer on 24/7 and iTunes is usually running the entire time also. Every few days or once in a while I'll get messages such as 'iTunes cannot save Library/Not enough memory available'.

The only solution I have right now is restarting the program every few days. Any suggestions? My computer is always kept up-to-date with the latest Windows Updates. Microsoft Security Essentials detects no viruses or malicious files. As of the latest few updates I started getting these errors, sorry I don't know exactly when this started happening.

Windows 7

    Hi All,

     

    After all the issues I had with iTunes on Windows I finaly decided to buy a Macbook. I moved my music library (140GB) via iMatch to the Macbook to makes sure I was not importing any s..t from the library on my Windows pc.

     

    I was and still am astonished about the performance and ease everything goes. No errors, even no missing Artwork. I can play for days if need be without any memory problem.  I also had issues with Airplay which I use a lot, they are gone as well. Recently I purchased Apple TV and it worked out of the box.

     

    Of course it’s stupid just for the satisfaction of Apple (iTunes) to make this switch, but I had problems managing my big photo library (600GB) in Adobe Lightroom as well. I keep my photos in Canon RAW format and they have an average size of 25 to 30MB each. On Windows searching or browsing took forever. That problem is also over as browsing is now so fast my eyes can’t keep track of it.

    So whoever had ideas about making the move I can recommend it, if not to solve these stupid issues than for their blood pressure.  It cost a lot as Mac’s don’t come cheap but if you can afford it it’s worth the money. 

     

    Cheers Rob

    Just a note to confirm that iTunes 11 on Windows 7 64 bit seems to no longer have the memory leak problem.

    Just noticed the same popup that iTunes was unable to save the library due to no memory. Running windows 7 64-bit with 8GB RAM.  Running the most recent version of iTunes, 11.1.2.32

     

    Restarted iTunes and tested memory usage by refreshing the iTunes Store home page.  THIS IS ABSURD!

    Open up iTunes: memory usage at about 47 MB

    Open iTunes Store: immediately jumps to 190 MB

    Reload iTunes store 5 times: Hovering around 320 MB

    5 more times: now over 400 MB

    Can get it to over 800 MB of RAM usage just by browsing the iTunes store for a few minutes.

     

    What is this?! Absolutely unacceptable and ridiculous.

    What can I do to stop this? Apple, get your crap together
