I keep getting an error "The iTunes library cannot be saved. The required disk cannot be found." how do I fix this?

I cannot get past this error. This is the third time I am having this issue with iTunes. I have moved my library off of the systems hard drive onto an external as advised by an Apple Store rep, and now I am back to this. What have some of you done to avoid this error?

== Error -54 ==
From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
First, try simply restarting your computer.

    The Reset feature adds a folder on your desktop named Old Firefox Data. I recommend hanging onto that for a few weeks in case you discover something essential that the Reset feature left behind.
    This article has a list of what is migrated and what is not during a Reset, in case you're curious: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].

  • I keep getting a Icloud pop that needs my password and it won't go away. How can I fix this?

    I keep getting the pop up message: "Photo Stream- Photos for the iCloud account .....cannot be accessed. Review your account information in System Preferences". It just keeps popping up over and over and over again and every time I try enter my password or try to reset my password it says it is incorrect. I've reset my password so many times now and it never takes. If I sign out of iCloud will any of my photos be deleted on my Macbook? When I try to sign out, it threatens me that it will delete any photos that have not been uploaded to the cloud. I think it has become self aware. Apple...is Skynet...anyway, what in the wide world of sports can I do to get this (!*$^# pop up to go away?!?!?! I'm starting to think my warm, happy family photos aren't worth this fiendish pop up.

    I have the same issue. My computer has also slowed down. I hope this isn't a malware. I haven't input my password into it, and dont know what I did to turn this on.
    Hope someone else can give some insight

  • Since I installed Firefox 25 I get 3 error messages regarding missing files: wlanapi.dll, GlobalUtils.dll, and UA_Modules.dll. How do I fix this?

    I tried resetting Firefox but nothing changed. When I try to use an interactive website, everything freezes unless I continually move the mouse.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • I keep getting a box that says "Uninstall Set" every time I open or change pages. How do I fix this? I tried re-executing firefox 4.0 but did not help

    Every time I hit enter or change page I get a Java script box with the comment uninstal set and a place to click OK. I tried re starting my computer and that did not help. I tried re-installing firefox 4.0 and that did not help. Not sure what to do now. I can not continue until I tell it OK.

    I wish I could post a screen shot. I can not do anything at all until I close the box.
    When I open Foxfire a box comes up that says "Javascript Application" in the box is the message uninstal set. It comes up every time I open a page or a tab. It seems I am not the only one having the issue, but yesterday was the first time it occurred. And it did not happen until after I installed Chuzzle.

  • My firefox will allow me to open a page then it gets stuck on the second page and times out--how do I fix this. I have checked the sites on Explorer -it works

    It started with the second page not being able to be displayed
    example it would go to yahoo and I would sign in but the next page would just spin and time out
    Now it won't even go to the first page.
    Firefox will not let me go into the options to change cache.
    I am trying explorer and it works.
    Help

    This is a page within the Yahoo site? When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In that dialog, you can individually remove your yahoo.com cookies.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

    I keep getting an error The ipad can not be synced because the sync session failed. same error for my iphone. any ideas?

    Try deleting iTunes from your computer. Do not delete your iTunes library. Then download and install a fresh copy if iTunes. Reboot your computer after installation of iTunes.
    Then reboot your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
    Reconnect the phone to your computer running iTunes and see if the sync process will go through.

    Can't check the SN or warranty, cause it is stuck in restore mode.
    Is the hard drive gone? Should there be something replaced.

    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Usually this is caused by your antivirus or firewall blocking iTunes access to the Internet. It can also occur if the phone is jailbroken or if the computer you are using was ever used to jailbreak an iDevice.

  • HT204053 I cannot log into iCloud using my Apple username and password.  I keep getting an error message that states "CANNOT SIGN UP - The Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account."  How do I fix this?

    I cannot log into iCloud using my Apple username and password.  I keep getting an error message that states "CANNOT SIGN UP - The Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account."  How do I fix this?

    You are getting this message because you are attempting to create an iCloud account on a PC.  You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

    Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
    You're ignoring context.  On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers.  The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies.  Then came Lion.  The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest.  (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable.  (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
    People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems.  I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there.  Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
    The people helping here are all volunteers.  None of them is being paid for the time they spend here.  They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities.  It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.
