I do not have an apple computer,  I have had Itunes  Previously but had not used it for some time.  when I try to use it now the following message keeps coming up no matter how many times  install Itunes.  "The Itunes library is locked on a locked disc ?

I do not have an Apple computer,  I have had Itunes previously but had not used it for some time,  I have Itunes gift cards but can not get ,on to use them.  I have tried to download Itunes again but the following keeps poping up, "The Itunes library is locked on a locked disc, oryou do not have write permission for this file."  How can I overcome this?

To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file.  Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty.  Note that I am running Windows 8.  Hope this helps!

    McAfee AntiVirus by any chance? See the thread Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml?
    Or it could be an issue with the SC Info folder. See TS1277 - iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization for details.
    Or a repair install of iTunes from the Programs and Features control panel might fix the problem.

    When you gte requests to locate iTunes.msi like this, the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility usually fixes it.
    Here is a method for removal, clean up and reinstall of iTunes.
    == uninstall with cleanup ==
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Save the files on your PC.
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    (To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    *If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

"The procedure entry point xmlITexTextReaderName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dlll." Please let me know if your know anything! It is greatly apprecitated!

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

    Did you go on-line and fix your billing information? You probably need to do this from iTunes on your computer, not your phone.
    If you've double checked your credit card info and it still won't take it, contact your card issuer.

  • When I go to a website, it takes me to a different one. No matter how many times I open it, it takes me to random sites.

    If I open a page in a tab it will take me to a completely different site, and no matter how many times I try to close and open a new one, it keeps going to different sites. It also happens when I type the website into the address bar, it still takes me to a random site. Is it something with my computer, or is it Firefox, and if it is a problem with Firefox, how do I fix it?

    Hi. Whenever I want to upload a picture or a file, no matter how many times I press the "Upload" or "Browse" button, nothing happens. I can keep spam clicking on it and it wouldn't do anything. This is not specific to a site, but happens everywhere. Dragging and dropping files works on Facebook and Imgur, but not all websites support this. I'm using Firefox 31.0 on Windows 8.1. Yes, I have tried restarting Firefox and computer, this has been happening for a while now. Thanks.

    Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.
    *http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-windows-in-safe-mode/
    This probably still applies to Windows 8:
    Try to delete the MRU (Most Recently Used) ComDlg32 registry keys with the registry editor (regedit.exe).
    Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32
    Delete the subkeys (LastVisitedPidlMRU and OpenSavePidlMRU)
    Be cautious with editing the registry as there is no Undo possible: all changes are applied immediately.
    You can export registry keys before making changes.

    You should still have the older version of Firefox (the beta installs alongside the older version). Check under add/remove programs. If you do, just locate the .exe in program files under Mozilla, and create a shortcut.

Maybe you are looking for
