"The iTunes Library can not be saved. An unknown error occurred (13010)


Recommended Posts

I get the same error message occasionally.  It sometimes goes away when I simply try to edit the same track(s) again.  If that doesn’t work, the error goes away when I simply quit and relaunch iTunes.  I never had to run Disk Utility to solve it.  

 

(But the Macs from which I access the iTunes library are running MacOS 10.11 and 10.13.  I have no experience with 10.14.)

 

The iTunes library file is the file whose extension is .itl in your iTunes folder.  It is a database containing metadata that is not stored in the music track files themselves, such as star ratings and date last played, plus all your playlists.

 

Here's a brief article on rebuilding the library file, but I haven’t tried it:

If the problem remains infrequent, there's no reason to believe the database is corrupted, so I recommend against rebuilding the iTunes library file.
