Can't download as error says disk is full?

I am getting this error also, even though I have plenty of disk space available.

I have exactly the same problem. I have about 5 1/2 CDs on there and it just stopped adding. I got 'iTunes Music Library file cannot be saved. The disk you are attempting to use is full'. My hard drive has about 40 GB free and my 30GB iPod has nothing on it except those 5 CDs.

I assume you recently bought your iPod in the UK? I wonder if there's something wrong with the soft/hardware in a batch of them, I just bought mine in the UK too.

By the way, I've re-installed software, reset the iPod, re-booted my computer several times, and a number of other things. Anyone got any ideas?

Don't forget to clean out your temp folder, as this folder can hold a ton of files.

1. Clean out your temp folders, Delete as much as you can in these folders except for the folders Cookies, History, Temporary Internet Files.
a.C:\windows\temp (if one exists)
b.C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp

Installers will leave files in these folders and after a while the size can add up to be a lot.

I'll check/clean out the temp folder as you are suggesting but I think this is one of those errors where the message does not accurately describe the true problem. Keep in mind that get info reports that there is indeed free space left on the drive, in my case 40+ GBs. Even if there were larges numbers of temp files, they should still be reflected in total storage usage.

Ah well I'm having this problem on a Mac. I did a search for the topic and didn't realize this was an "iTunes for Windows" area. 😟 Still, odd that I'm having the exact same error, makes me think that this is an iTunes specific issue rather then it being platform dependent or OS related.

And it looks like the OP was also a Lost Mac user. D'Oh!

How many free disk space is left on your computer's hard disk? This error message does not refer to your iPod but to your computer!

It may be much more related to the folder used to store those files being read only or the iTunes "Library" files r/o.

So what does the properties say for the c drive. Assuming of course this is the drive with the music. What is the used vs. free

I just want to be sure we are talking about the same thing.
