What is a itunes -54 error?
I get a -54 error in itunes. It is not explained what it is, and how I can fix it. Any help?
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.

Why does iTunes keep showing a -54 error when I sync my iPad? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114
Error -54 possibly related to Touch Copy - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114 - cleared by deleting preferences on iPad.

what causes this error and could someone point me in the right direction as how to fix this.
also i can't open itunes without having my ipod connected..so annoying. is that normal?
thanks. =)Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

When downloading the new 10.7 update for itunes, an error message saying that there is an error writing to file, verify that you have access to this file comes up... what is this??
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
My Toshiba laptop just recently started showing the the following error message when I try to open iTunes: " iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 998)". I did what was requested and reinstalled iTunes, but still get this error message. Help!
b noir I never got any message about an entry point
Many thanks. If we're looking at a "naked" Error 7, I'd start with box two in the following user tip:

apple application was not found, apple application support is required to run ituneshelper. please uninstall itunes and install itunes again error 2. What does this mean?
You can try installing 7-Zip (free), then right-click on the iTunesSetup.exe or iTunesSetup64.exe file to unpack its contents, and install AppleApplicationSupport.msi as a standalone component. It may still not install successfully, but if it doesn't you may get a more useful error message regarding the reason why.

I wanted to restore my ipod touch 4G, but everytime it is restoring with the apple logo, the screen goes partially white and my itunes says "error 9"... what should i do?
plz answer me~Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Gary,
discussions may sometimes be slow for an hour or so (at which point the opening page of discussions will eventually apologize for the inconvenience, back on line soon...) but your description looks like a cache problem.
Try OnyX freeware to do some cleanup and see if that helps.

What is the proper way to reinstall iTunes after error 42404 without losing all my music?
What is the proper way to reinstall iTunes after error 42404 without losing all my music?
Here's what I do when I have iTunes problems and it works 9 out of 10 times. I have Ccleaner; It's a wonderful tool to have. If you don't have it, google it and install it, just the free version. You'll see the list of all of your installed programs in there to unstall (among of a host of other things you could do with that program) but anyway, right click on Apple Software first to repair, when done then right click on Apple Application Support to repair, then when done with that, right click on iTunes to repair that and all should be well after that. No uninstall should be necessary at all when you do all that.
