Can application A access the "itunes file sharing" files of application B

Hi,
Suppose that application B has files in itunes file sharing (i.e. files which can be saved onto the pc desktop via itunes). Can application A access these files?
I know that there is some sandboxing, but dont know to what extent.
Thanks

Hi,
I mean the files which can also be viewed in the  "file sharing" section of itunes e.g. :
http://slidetorock.com/help/itunes-file-sharing.png
Clearly these files are stored in a different way to other files associated with the application. e.g. If I connect my iphone to a linux machine I can easily view these files for the different applications (but not other files of the app).
I presume apps can also access other apps files which are viewable in "file sharing"?
Thanks

  • Problem after updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista.. I can no longer access the iTunes store..

    Hi
    After updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista I have found that I can no longer access the iTunes store... I am left with a blank iTunes screen with the loading bar stuck at halfway..
    All other features seem to work... only opening  the iTunes store is failing..
    I have ran the diagnostics feature and this says everything is ok, so I'm a bit stuck
    Please help

    Purple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!"  You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
    The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3).  I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store.  My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5.  Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs.  I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store. 
    Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
    I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix.

  • Can no longer access the iTunes store.

    As of a few days ago I can no longer access the iTunes Store.  Keep getting the page that urges me to upgrade.
    I cannot not upgrade to the current version on my G5 Power PC.  Cannot access by using Search either.  I am running
    iTunes 7.5 because all newer versions required an upgrade of Quicktime which screwed up the performance of Final Cut Studio,
    which I can also not upgrade because I don't own an Intel Mac.  I am so tired of Apple not supporting their loyal customers
    who own older Macs, especially in these hard economic times.  Was considering the purchase of an iPhone, but not anymore. 
    If anyone knows of a work around to the iTunes problem I would appreciate an answer.  It not, then Goodbye Apple it was nice
    knowing you.

    This is what I had to do to access iTunes store with 10.4.11 (took all day for the downloads)
    1. download & install iTunes 9.2.1 (101 MB)
    2. download & install Quicktime 7.5.5 (61 MB)
    3. message 'need to install Safari 4.0.3 or later' (and I never use Safari)
    4. download Safari (26 MB)
    5. Safari won't install without 'latest security update'
    6. download latest security update 2009-005 (Intel) v. 1.0 (172 MB)
    7. take a long walk
    8. install security update and restart
    9. install Safari and restart
    And yes, now I can download music again from the iTunes store.  I would have given up and gone with Amazon.com but mp3 downloads are only available to folk in USA, and I'm in Australia.

  • After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update, I can no longer access the itunes store and my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?

    After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this?  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?

    The problem is with version 10.4.1.  I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work.  The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me.  Here was their list of steps:
    Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
    2.  Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
         a. iTunes
         b. QuickTime
         c. Apple Software Update
         d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
         e. Bonjour
         f.  Apple Appllcation Support
    3.  Reboot PC
    4.  Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
    If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes.  To correct this:
    5.  Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
    6.  Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
    7.  Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
    8.  Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date.  It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
    9.  Reboot PC

  • TS1368 I downloaded the latest ITunes update, 10.6 I think. I can still sync my Ipod, but I can no longer access the Itunes Store.  No error message, it just keeps "accessing" but nothing shows up.  I've restarted my computer twice.

    I downloaded the latest Itunes update, 10.6 I think. I can still sync my Ipod, but now I can't access the Itunes Store.  There's no error message, it just keeps "accessing" but never completes.  How can I fix this?

    Ok... I just tried connecting my iPod directly to a USB port on the computer rather than via the USB hub I was using and everything is fine. Odd, but I'm happy now.
    Thanks,
    Evan

  • Why can't i access the itunes store?

    I recently got a new computer with Windows7 and have not been able to access the ITunes store.  I was able to get to it with my old PC running Windows XP, but now I can't get to it.  I get an error message saying that I am not connected to the internet even though I am connected.  Is there some other settings that I need to adjust before I can access the store?  I have tried removing and reinstalling the ITunes software several times but it didn't have any effect. 

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • Why can't I access the iTunes Store (iTunes 10.4.1)

    Every time I launch the latest version of iTunes and click on iTunes Store, I get the error message "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. You do not have permission to access the requested resource." In smaller print it says "There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."

  • Why can't I access the itunes store when signed in on my wife's Earthlink email address?

    I'm trying to setup my iPad 1 for my wife to use and when I sign in under her email address (that has been setup in itunes), I get the "cannot connect to itunes store" message.  When I sign in under my email address, everything works fine.  What gives?

    When you say "her email address" do you mean that you set up a separate Apple ID for her using her email address as her Apple ID? If so, was it ever verified by Apple? Did she get the email verification?

  • Why can I not access the iTunes Store after downloading IOS 7?

    I cannot enter the itunes store(where you purchase music, movies, etc.) on my iPhone 5 ever since I updated my phone to iOS 7. I even made sure my itunes was up to date on my computer which it is and I then plugged my phone into my computer hoping it would fix the problem which it didnt. Please help me out this is really starting to bother me.

    Try a reset ...
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then restart your iPhone. Then try the iTunes Store.
    No data is lost due to a reset.
