ran out of Memory". My setup is MacPro 2x2.66 ghz XEON processors,
10 gig RAM, and 2.5 tb of storage. I do have a rather large I-Tnes
file that I am trying to clean up (28000 songs), but I cannot get
the program to load.</p></div>mattr1111tag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/8722822010-01-18T18:43:21Z2010-01-18T18:43:21ZThe Java VM ran out of memory<div><p>Hi,</p>

I am using the latest version on the Apple website. I have tried to
reload the program, but it is stopped at the "Shutting Down
BeaTunes" dialogue.<br></p></div>mattr1111tag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/8722822010-01-18T18:56:17Z2010-01-18T18:56:17ZThe Java VM ran out of memory<div><p>Hi,</p>
<p>that should be beaTunes 2.1.2 then.<br>
Let's try the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Make sure beaTunes is not running.</li>
<li>Then open the file <code>~/Library/Application
Support/beaTunes/preferences2.xml</code> with TextEdit.</li>
<li>
<p>Find the entry:</p>
<pre>
<code> <threads>2</threads></code>
</pre>
<p>(you probably have a different number there).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Change it to:</p>
<pre>
<code> <threads>2</threads></code>
</pre></li>
<li>
<p>Then save the file.</p>
</li>
<li>Now start beaTunes. Does it now start up?</li>
</ul>
<p>If not, please send me your logs - they are in
<code>~/Library/Logs/beaTunes</code>. Please simply zip the whole
folder before you send it.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

I don't have either of those files on the system. I just
purchased<br>
the license, and am going to try to install a fresh copy of
BeaTunes,<br>
I will let you know the status after the update.<br>
Thanks,<br>

with a new license key. I will keep you posted if there is anything
else.<br>
Thanks for replying so quickly.</p>

<p>the license key should not make a difference at all.<br>
However, the '~' in the path indicates the home directory - maybe
that helps you find those folders.</p>
