<p>Is it possible you have 34,340 podcasts in your collection?</p>
<p>-hendrik</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/445390402018-01-19T18:08:24Z2018-01-19T18:08:25ZAborted synchronization<div><p>Well, I have gotten behind on a few of them... 樂</p>
<p></p>
<p>According to iTunes the number isn't quite that high but still it's a very large number (maybe more like 28,426), which is why I've tried to exclude them from all the BeaTunes analyses, etc. (In fact, iTunes itself really slows down when I click over to podcasts...).</p>
<p>So how can I avoid this sort of error in the future?</p>
<p>I tried expanding the amount of RAM the program is allowed to 5Gigs (which is a lot, I know, since I only have 8 Gigs total), but the error still popped up. (I've also since reduced the RAM allotment back to 3 Gigs).</p>
<p>Thanks for your help, Hendrik!</p></div>Stevetag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/445390402018-01-19T18:21:32Z2018-01-19T18:21:32ZAborted synchronization<div><p>Hey Steve,</p>
<p>can you please try the latest dev snapshot: <a href="https://www.beatunes.com/download/beaTunes-5-1-1-SNAPSHOT.dmg">https://www.beatunes.com/download/beaTunes-5-1-1-SNAPSHOT.dmg</a></p>
<p>Does it perhaps fix the issue (it's a timeout, shouldn't be memory related)?</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>-hendrik</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/445390402018-01-19T19:18:27Z2018-01-19T19:18:28ZAborted synchronization<div><p>Thanks, Hendrik, I will try out the Dev snapshot as soon as I can.</p>
<p>So why is my podcast library even an issue? I've tried excluding it where possible.</p>
<p>Also, when I would open up BeaTunes 5, I would be told that my library was last synchronized January 9th--do you know why it would synchronize on the 9th and not later in the month (I can't imagine my library has grown <em>that</em> much in only a couple of weeks...).</p>
<p>Thanks again,<br>

<p>Actually... I have just looked into the issue a little more and posted a new snapshot. Same URL as the snapshot before. If you haven't downloaded yet, no worries. If you did, you might want to download that lastest version.</p>

<p>Synchronization with iTunes always means that beaTunes tries to reflect exactly what's in iTunes. And that includes your podcasts.</p>

<p>No idea. Perhaps something else is wrong. But:</p>
<p>In that first snapshot, I have merely increased a timeout for code that took pretty long. In the last snapshot I have actually looked at <em>why</em> that code took so long and believe I managed to remove the bottleneck. This means, your library's synchronization with iTunes should be a couple of minutes quicker now.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<p>For what it's worth, I did recently attempt to synchronize my database via the previous BeaTunes dev snapshot but the synchronization failed again.</p>
<p>It also seems to take a long time for BeaTunes to shut down--not sure what that's about. In fact, when I first downloaded BeaTunes earlier this month (back when I did successfully synchronize my database) I didn't have a problem shutting the application down but now it almost seems frozen (Note: my computer <em>doesn't</em> say that the application is not responding but, after 30 minutes or so I end up forcing it to quit). Any ideas for what the problem could be? Do you think it's related to the failed synchronization?</p>

<p>I just received two additional errors that I haven't seen before...</p>
<p>Not sure how I should proceed.</p></div>Stevetag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/445390402018-01-22T18:30:02Z2018-01-22T18:30:03ZAborted synchronization<div><p>Quick side note: After receiving that second notification (and not knowing which one to pick) I opted to shut down BeaTunes altogether, which actually worked quite quickly this time...</p>
<p>Just throwing that out there.</p>

You have no option, but to re-build it. If it's not offered by beaTunes again, you can initiate the process manually via the <code>Tools</code> menu (once beaTunes is running).</p></div>hendrik
