"The iTunes library file cannot be saved. There is not enough memory available."

I am building playlists after installing iTunes on a new laptop and keep getting the following message:

"The iTunes library file cannot be saved. There is not enough memory available."

Before anyone asks, I have 549GB free on the hard drive and 132GB free on the external drive the music files are on.

After the error message appears, iTunes does not make changes to playlists; I have to restart iTunes to get it to do this. I have reinstalled iTunes, which fixed the problem for a while. Is this something to do with the latest update? Is there a fix for it?

Any help would be great.

I called into tech support and got help from apple for this same problem. I had to turn off my Home Sharing and it seems to be okay now, I haven't gotten the message since. If it comes back I'll be sure to let you know and I will be calling back in.

I hope this helps you with your problem, it seems to have helped me with mine. Best of Luck!

Hi I had the same problem, i managed to solve it by simply going to itunes preferences and under Advanced select Reset Cache and that seemed to solve the problem straight away.
