When attempting to sync to PC

When I connect to my PC I get the following message: The forlder "iTunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have write priveleges for this folder. I can't seen to find a solution and have deleted and reloaded iTunes....any ideas?? Old guy trying to keep up with tech !!

Go to your iTunes folder on your PC. Right->click on it and select Properties. Then under the General tab, make sure the Read Only box is not ticked. If it is, remove the tick and hit Apply. Make sure to Apply it to all subfolders and files as well.
Then try opening iTunes.

The authorisation prompt keeps defaulting to an old ID (email address) when attempting to sync PC to iPad2

You can't chage this. What's going on is that apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, and all future updates will require you to enter the password associated with this ID, even if you are not currently using this ID for purchases. The only way to stop the prompt for your older ID would be to delete these apps from your phone and your iTunes library and repurchase them using your current ID.

ITunes 11 Crashes When Attempting to Sync Podcasts

My two computers, a Mini and a MacBook both run Snow Leopard (10.6.8) so I can continue to use Photoshop CS3. I made the horrible mistake of "upgrading" to iTunes 11.1.1 at Apple's suggestion. While I agree with many of the aesthetic and functional complaints I've read on this forum, my issue is more serious. When I attempt to sync new podcasts iTunes immediately crashes. Specifically when I attach any of my four functioning iPods, ranging from 3rd Gen to 7th, the device comes up on the File page, the Summary page opens correctly and so does Music. But when I select Podcasts I immediately get the dreaded spinning beach ball of death and iTunes in my open Force Quit window turns red. Force quit is the only way out. I've "upgraded" to 11.1.2 and now 11.1.3 with the same results. I have sent in dozens of crash reports to Apple and have written the iTunes guy at MacWorld with no response from either. My crash reports are no longer polite though I'm aware the person reading the reports is not responsible for releasing this buggy mess.
I have Time Machine and was able to install an older version of the application,10.6, but was unable to regress the iTunes library so now the app is incompatible with the library which is apparently permanently changed, even with Time Machine. Installing 11 also wiped out 6 years of carefully archived podcasts, many of which are no longer available at the iTunes Store.
Any suggestions are welcome. If I absolutely have to I guess I'd be willing to install Mavericks on the MacBook if I knew that would solve the iTunes issues but I resent that I have to do so. I have been a loyal Mac fan since 1984 but now that Apple is fat and happy it looks like it's going to replace Microsoft as the company with the black hat.

As I said that was a Test.
Now we know that iPhoto is sound, as is the Phone, it's the other Library that's damaged.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
However : Library Manager has not been fully updated to work with 11 yet. So, best to wait until Wednesday (when the release is due) to do this step.

4G Touch freezes when attempting to sync music.

When I attempt to synce music I then get the message "iTunes could not copy "Song Title" to the iPod "Dominic's iPod" because the file could not be written" The symbol to the left of the message is a yellow triangle with an exclamation point inside. After closing the error window, iTunes says "Syncing Dominic's iPod" Finishing sync, with the moving candy cane stripe. Eventually that freezes too, then the message and strip go away and a final error window pops up. "The iPod "Dominic's iPod" could not be synced. The device timed out."
I have already tried restoring the iPod to it's original settings and have redownloaded iTunes.
I tried with the Windows Task Manager open. The status of iTunes goes fron "running" to "Not Responding" when the error message appears. It goes bak to "running" after clicking OK on the "iTunes could not copy..." error window. Then goes back to "not responding" when the candy cane stripes freezes. And finally back to "running" then the device times out.
I am runnings Win 7 Pro 64 bit, iPod 4G (iOS 5.1.1), iTunes (10.6.3.25). The music files are Apple Losless Audio File (m4a) and reside on a Synology DS211j NAS. No settings on the home network have changed since my last succesful sync almost 3 weks ago.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dominic

Hit the Genius Bar this morning. The iPod is fine. The tech did a total reload of the firmware (about 10 minutes). Then he told me to remove iTunes from the computer and reinstall. He then told me if that didn't work to either call for support, or bring the PC and iPod in so they could look at them together. I guess I'll be calling in when I have another day off and the kids are back in school after Labor Day. The funny thing is, albums totally sync until I get the "can not write file" error. Every album after that (alphabetial by artist) only syncs the first song with all others greyed out.

Error message when attempting to sync to itunes

Recently I have been having a problem syncing my iphone (original model 16 gb OS 2.2.1 with iTunes (8.0). I get a message that says unable to read from iphone. I can work around this by forcing the iphone to reboot. I can then perform a normal sync. However, the next time I attempt to sync I get the same error message.
I would appreciate any suggestions to fix this problem.
Thanks!

The message says iTunes could not connect to the iphone " " because an error occurred while reading from the device.
This message appears as soon as the phone is connected. It is coincidental with the sound the iphone makes when it is plugged into the USB cable
I have updated to OS 10.5.7 and iTunes version 8.2 and this has not made the problem any less frequent.
As far as what I'm trying to sync, I don't know what you mean. I'm attempting to do a general periodic sync of the iphone and my Mac.

My iTunes now dies when attempting to sync my iPhone or iPad, suggestions?

I've been syncing my devices for years, but after I updated to iTunes 10.6 then attempted to sync my iPhone 4, iTunes aborts and does not complete the sync. I tried my iPad as well with exactly the same results. So, I expect that something has begun corrupted in iTunes and I tried to revert to the previous version of iTunes with Time machine, but the Mac reported that I cannot remove iTunes. It could be a library that is corrupt or a cache of some sort, but I can't tell.
Suggestions are much appreciated

As it turns out, it is a problem with iPhoto '09. You must upgrade to iPhoto '11 to resolve this issue.

Ipod flashes red when attempting to sync.

since 5.0 i have not been able to sync and i have lost 1200 songs from my ipod that are still showing in my itunes library. when i attempt a transfer the ipod icon in the margin of itunes flashes red then i get unknown error -69.
A) what does the flashing red ipod icon indicate?

3) would resetting my ipod and erasing everything solve the problem?
P.S. i just purchased an ipod mini for my wife and have been able to put songs on it from my itunes using the same cable that i use for my 40gb ipod.

Its not your ipod it's a smorgasbord of probolems everyons been having with itunes 5. Wait till they get a patch for it. I have a probolem windows or itunes shutdown and dont recognise my pod when plugged in!

Error message when attempting to sync with SharePoint List

When I attempt to Validate the URL in Project so that I can sync my work to a SharePoint List I receive the error message shown below. I have tried using both the regular URL and I tried TinyURL as well to see if the error was due to sheer length. I have
confirmed that the site is valid and is available. No matter what I get the following message. I have also ensured that my permission settings are all set to 'Full Access' and so I do not believe that this is the result of permission settings. Can anyone
provide some guidance as to why this message appears?
Error message:
*The SharePoint site is invalid
*The SharePoint site is currently unavailable
*The user does not have full or design permission on the SharePoint site

Getting error when attempting to sync with iPhoto

I just purchased a new iPod Classic, when I tried to sync with iPhoto I get the error message "Unknown Error -50" or something close to this, I'm sure the error number is -50. Anyone have any ideas what the problem is? iPhoto works fine.

OK, I've figured out what is happening. After researching the XML file information available on the web, I found out that iPhoto doesn't actually use this file. It simply creates the XML file for other programs to use (like iTunes). The bottom line here is that I would run the xmllint utility, test that iPhoto still works (causing the bad data to be put back) and then running iTunes, at this time it still failed because iPhoto had updated the XML file with the bad data.
Running xmllint and fixing the line that it pointed out and then running iTunes allowed me to sync my photos to my iPod. For me it's a bad comment there was some unprintable character in the file that was causing the problem. The xmllint utility correctly identified the bad line and bbedit let me fix the issue (there is a bbedit setting that shows invisible characters). I haven't run iPhoto and attempted to fix the bad comment yet, I'll report on my efforts later.
Thanks to all for you help.

Ipod corrupted - Error -53 when attempting to sync 160gb ipod classic

Every time I attach my ipod to my PC (Vista) I get a windows message that the drive is corrupted. I also get to various points of the syncing process in itunes and it fails to complete as I get an itunes error message number -53. I seem to have tried everything - re-formatting drive, restoring ipod, resetting ipod, deleting files that were being synced at the time of the syncing failure, but I can't seem to solve this problem and cannot find any info on error -53 anywhere on itunes support or even when searching on the web.
Can anyone help please??
Thanks.

I am having the same problem as well with my 80GB classic. The syncing will start and then freeze at various points during the process. I have received the error -53 message and others as well after this. I have restored my ipod at least 50 times. Once I get the ipod corrupted message, vista will give me a message stating there are disk errors on the ipod drive. I have scanned the drive twice (which takes hours) and just when it is about to be done i get a message "windows unable to complete the format". I tried disabling the USB 2.0 ports to where they "aren't 2.0" and that didn't work either.
I have tried winamp, floola and anapod as well. I get similar errors on those systems as well.
I thought it might be my OS or vista but I borrowed an older ipod mini 4GB and it synced over 500 songs just fine. I also tried an ipod shuffle 1GB and it synced fine as well. I brought my ipod over to a friend's house who has an older computer that runs XP and doesn't have USB 2.0 and it synced music fine.
I have spent hours searching the internet and trying various things. This is the only post I have found so far that people are having the exact same problems as I am. I am just wondering if it is my computer or ipod classic that is the problem.
Thanks for any assistance.

IPhone icon disappears in iTunes when attempting to sync.

When I plug my iPhone 3G into my Macbook Pro the iPhone icon pops up in iTunes as it should and it begins to sync. However, after a few seconds the icon disappears although the phone still says "Sync in Progress." I end up having to cancel the sync from the phone because it sits at the "Sync in Progress" screen seemingly forever without actually syncing anything.

Hi deuceduce,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It appears that you're syncing your iPhone 5s with iTunes on your PC. You're using Wi-Fi, but the error message reports that iTunes can't find your iPhone.
There are several steps that can be used to troubleshoot this situation. I'd recommend the method outlined in this support document:
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing - Apple Support
This article will take you through various troubleshooting steps that can help.
Sincerely,
Jeremy
