Error message halfway through "Consolidate Library"

I have iTunes version 9.0.3.15. I tried to consolidate my library by going to "File -> Library -> Organize Library ..." and ticked the "Consolidate Files" box. When I run this, it gets partway through my library until it says "Copying files failed. The file name was invalid or too long." Is there some sort of console log or diagnostic I can use to see which filename it is choking over?
I need to consolidate my library in order to fix an issue with the Last.fm Scrobbler plugin.

TBOMK Consolidate does not log where it fails.
Finding the problem file is a manual process. Look for a file with a long name, or with diacritical marks (i.e. dïâçrìtîcål, ha, ha) in its filename.
Once you find the problem file and rename it and fix its library entry, just run Consolidate again; it will not do anything further to the files it has already consolidated.

If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...
•Apple - Support - iTunes - install & update:

Good luck & happy computing!

HT1926 won't download itunes, get error message concerning C runtime library

tried to update itunes, now it doesn't want to install itunes, keep getting an error message that C runtime library is not installed correctly

Follow the below procedure if you are using a Windows based PC. I did not develop it, another forum user did, but I did insert 1 additional step in case you use a 3rd party software package to give your apple devices "Airprint" capability for your non Air Print capable printers (Such as Fingerprint).
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
Remove any 3rd party software which uses Airprint features (such as Fingerprint by Collobos)
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or by right-clicking the downloaded installer and selectingRun as Administrator.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

How do I resolve this error message? The iPhoto library is on a locked volume. Reopen iPhoto when you have read/write access, or reopen iPhoto with the Option key held down to choose another library.

Hi j,
I don't know if this will work, but I'd try logging in to an admin account, going to your main library (not user library), opening it, opening Application Support, selecting iPhoto, hold down the command key and press i, click on the lock in the lower left, entering the password and making sure you have Read & Write privileges for System and Admin.

Error message -48: The itunes library file cannot be saved.

Hello,
When I open up my itunes i get an error message 48 - the itunes library file cannot be saved. All my data is there - music, podcasts etc. Just wondering if this error message means anything, if so what, and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks!

I just called Apple Support and I think they helped me, but I'm still waiting to see if the error message returns. I was experiencing the same problem. Whenever I started iTunes, I would get the -48 error message. Everything else was working fine. Apple Support instructed me to delete some files from a folder and restart my pc. I did this and it seems to have worked. The folder is on my C:/ drive. Using Windows Explorer, I went to my C:/ drive and then opened the following folders in this order: "Documents and Settings", "Administrator", "Application Data", "Apple Computer", "iTunes", "iPod Software Updates". Inside the iPod Software Updates folder, I found four files which I deleted. I then emptied my trash can and restarted my pc. After I restarted my pc and opened iTunes, the error message did not come up. So it looks like my problem has been solved. Just some minor glitch having to do with the last update. I should mention that I did just get an iPod Classic 80 gig which replaced my 30 gig iPod Photo which just died.

Did you downgrade iTunes? What version is listed in Help> About iTunes?
If you don't have iTunes 10.5.2, download it from here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you have iTunes 10.5.2, try re-creating your iTunes library.

I'm trying to sync my ipad to the itunes library - but I get an error message saying I Tunes Library full. What can I do?

I have an Ipad 2. I am trying to sync my ipad to the itunes library, but I get an error message - saying the itunes library is full. How can that be? I've deleted lots from the library to see if that would help - but it still states I am about 25gb short. Can anyone help what to do?

Could any of the music have been sourced on an external USB drive or a network drive? In iTunes, go to one of the songs that won't sync. Bring up the info page, and look at the location of that song on the disk. Does that file and path exist? That could be your problem, especially if they were on a USB drive you forgot about.

Error message "The file 'iTunes library.itl' . . .

Someone help! I got an error message "The file 'iTunes library.itl' cannpt be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." What does that mean? I had a clean-up done and now I can't access my music! I tried to download a updated version but I still get the same error. What can I do?

If you navigate to your iTunes Music Folder in Explorer you will see several files. The artwork folder contains artwork but only iTunes and iPod can read these files. There is a iTunes music folder with the actual music files. Then there are two files called iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes library.ilt. These are two text and database files, respectively, that contain your ratings, play counts, last played and possibily your playlists too (Dont know about playlists). Stuff like that. There is also a previous library folder with an older database file. So in theory, you could delete the database and text files and still have your music. Then just download iTunes 6 and install. But you will lose ratings, play counts, last played, playlists etc. What I would recommend is to move your music to another location, then uninstall iTunes and delete the files I was talking about. Then reinstall iTunes. I think everything I said here is correct but I am not completely sure so I can't guarantee anything. Also I am using a Mac so it may be different, probably not though.

Error Message: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read..."

I'm trying to install iTunes on my machine and am getting this error message:
"The file 'iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."
Does anyone know why? How can I fix this?

In order to play m4p files, you must authorise your new PC. iTunes should prompt you to do this if you try to play an m4p file on an unauthorised PC.
Apple has a strict download once policy, so you cannot re-download files that you have already downloaded.
The simplest way to get you files off the external drive is to add the folder containing your music to iTunes with File>>Add folder to library. You need to ensure that "Copy to itunes music folder when adding to library" is checked on the advanced tab of Preferences.
Doing it this way is easy but you lose counts and ratings etc. If you want to recover these, there are two possibilities.
If you had your iTunes folder containing the the iTunes Library files on the external drive, You can simply connect to it by doing a shift key start.
Hold down the shift key and start iTunes. Keep holding the shift key until you are promoted to choose a library. Navigate to the iTunes folder on the external drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
But I suspect that you had your iTunes folder with lirbary files on your old PC. Recovering the library data is more complicated and I will need more information about your old set up if you want to attempt it.

Error message saying "new itunes library"

downloaded the latest itunes now when i try to open itunes just get error message saying "new itunes library"

Try this approach:
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
If that doesn't work go into the Control Panel for progams and try to repair the iTunes installation, or remove it and then reinstall.
