  • Itunes not opening - error message that file is locked....

    Hi,
    itunes message - 'library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.'
    I've tried everything i can find online to repair this issue, but itunes wont open still. I saw a message for this exact message in 2006 about moving itune lib to desktop and then back into itunes folder, but that hasn't worked. Please help.

    Might fix your problem:
    Through Finder navigate to your users directory
    Select the folder "Music"
    Press CMD-i
    An info windows will pop up
    Scroll down to the very bottom
    If necessary expand "Sharing & Permissions"
    Is your username listed with Privilege "Read & Write"?
    Tick the little lock at bottom right - enter your PW
    If necessary correct your privileges
    In any case press the little gearwheel - "Apply to enclosed items ..."
    ok
    reboot

    can't update new version of itunes due to error message saying invalid si

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    lannyghirly,
    As I understand iTunes will not open after being upgraded or reinstalled?
    If so, this article would be a good place to start in troubleshooting the issue:

  • I am getting a run time error message when I am trying to reinstall itunes and I'm not sure how to fix it. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get itunes back? Thanks!

    I'm not sure how or why this is happening and it has just started...I tried to update and then it would not allow me to open the file at all giving me a runtime error message and multiple windows (because of the help feature). It has been successfully reinstalled but I'm still getting the error message...what do I do?

  • How can I replace an existing app on iTunes that was created with PhoneGap to a new version created with Adobe DPS? I get a 'supported devices' error message when I try to upload to iTunes! HELP!

    I created an app using PhoneGap a couple of months ago, and have now just amended it using Adobe DPS. But when I come to upload it to iTunes, I get the error message "This bundle does not support on or more of the device supported by the previous app version" How can I correct this?

    I suspect your PhoneGap app was flagged as running on both iPad and iPhone. You'll need the same from DPS. You can do this in AppBuilder at the start of the wizard where it asks what kind of devices you want to support. Note that this is only available to DPS Professional and Enterprise customers. If you are a Creative Cloud customer building a Single Edition application it will only support iPad.

Restarted PC and downloaded itunes 7 from apple site. It still won't open and I get this message. iTunes requires Windows 2000 or later.

    When starting iTunes I continually get an error message " The registry Settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.  This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."  I have unistalled and reinstalled iTunes several times and have cleaned up the registry using a 3rd party Windows utility.  Any tips on removing this error message for good?

  • I am trying to install iTunes 12.0 on my Windows 7 PC to sync my iPhone6. I am getting error message, "Item already exists" on installation of iTunes 12.0.  Apple has no fix. Help???

    I am trying to install iTunes 12.0 on my Windows 7 PC to sync my iPhone6. I am getting error message, "Item already exists" on installation of iTunes 12.0.  Apple has no fix. Help???

    Item or object?
    For "Object already exists" or "Access denied" errors when installing try opening Control Panel > Programs and Features > View installed updates then checking for Security Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2918614). Uninstall if you have it, then reboot and try installing again.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
