Important: This whole OP is probably outdated, but hopefully the topic keeps collecting the conversation around these issues.



A number of users have been reporting getting an error loading the backpack if they try to add something. This is the backpack equivalent to another issue that was basically the same thing when you try to save projects – the editor would throw an error that the project couldn't be saved.

The backpack error happened to me with the Meow sound repeated until it was over 8 seconds.

This seems to be affecting everyone by the number of bug reports, so let's keep discussing this here.

This isn't a combined space limit or caused by what's already in your backpack, either. It's all in the stuff you're trying to add to it.

Don't worry about the rest of your backpack, it's totally fine. Just close and reopen it and everything will still be there.

What's going on back there? Last time I tested this, anything over about 785 KB would cause these errors:
You can check the console in your browser's developer tools if you want to find out what the error is now.

Oh no, that messed up my plan! What do I do? If you can do so on your computer, just right click and export anything you need to download so you can carry them over to another place without the backpack. They can be imported by selecting the Upload option in the add dropdowns. If you don't have the ability to download files, you can also speed up the audio to shorten it, backpack that, and after inserted in another project, slow it down again, which will work but degrade the audio quality.

When will this be fixed? It seems to be a recurring issue and, by now, it may result in a different error than the one shown above. I have no idea what the cause is. It's just another weird issue - any server can experience issues.

I wonder how long before this gets stickied…
First I guess

Also, backpacking each asset at a time can be useful, as long as you only have a few assets. If you have more, then, like you said, downloading them and uploading them back into it is the best option.

Congrats on being stickied! Let’s hope less topics will be made for this bug.

Oh my gosh I literally called it.

How do you get so many stickies in BaG?

I'm having trouble backpacking a song! And it wouldn't work!

Yeah but what about people that don't have a PC.

What is your device? Mobile? In that case hold your finger down and wait until the display pops up. Then press export. This might work, but I can’t guarantee

Congrats on the sticky! I’m having the same issue, but only with large items like songs.

Yes i cant put a song in my backpack

Same. I can backpack costumes and backdrops just fine, but not audio or sprites. I’ve tried refreshing, shutting down my computer, cutting up the audio into little pieces then backpacking all those, backpacking it on a different device, and switching browsers but nothing’s working.

Congrats on the sticky! I have seen quite a few bug reports for this so hopefully people will notice this and read it.

Whats with the ads- Scratch its not that hard, just tell us your gonna fix it.

Same with me. I try to put music in my backpack and it says the same thing.

Go to https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/615727/?page=1#post-6430761 and you will find the answer.

i dont know about you but maybe its because the asset is too big, like inthe saving project issue

Export and import.

The backpack is having some trouble right now, as you know, so be patient until it is fixed.

But how to get the blocks?
