Hello Everyone,

First, let me make clear I don't know what I'm doing. But I learn fast. smile.gif

I wasn't sure if this was a networking or an audio problem, but I'll try it here first.

I have 2 computers networked together; both running Win2000 Pro.

When I run I-tunes on my computer1, I save the mp3 files to the hard drive on computer2.

I know they are saved to the hard drive on computer2, because I also have an MSNtv device on the network, and it can access all the MP3 files saved on computer2; and computer2 is the only computer with shared files on it.

My problem is, that apparently even though the 10GB file is saved to a location on computer2, it's registering as using the memory from computer1..

Now I can't add any more mp3s, because it says my memory is full. Which it now is on computer1 because of this, but not on computer2. Computer2 has plenty of spare memory.

I guess my question is why does it take up memory space on computer1 instead of computer2, and how do i get it to just use space on computer2?

Does that make any sense? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. euro.gif

How much Virtual Memory do you have? It should be 100% to 150% of your ram. RAM 512mb, Virtual Memory 512mb to 768mb.

righ click START>CONTROL PANEL>SYSTEM>ADVANCE>PREFORMANCE>SETTINGS>ADVANCED>VIRTAUL MEMORY>CHANGE

actually start your virtual memory 2x the size of your ram, and up to 2x the size of that for the maximum, but thats likely not gonna solve your issue, i dont use itunes although it is better then what i do use, lol, my co-workers all use it and are pretty good with it, but check these interesting links out , they are helpful, personally, i think it is a setting under some kind of advanced preference, if i had it i would look furthur,

Thanks for the tips Acklan and Snapper; I just figured out what the problem was...


My computer1 was creating an offline back up of every mp3 file I saved to computer2; I deleted all my offline files, and set it to not use offline files anymore; this did the trick; got my missing 10GB of mem back and can still access the 10GB on computer2; now I can finish my library!
