Can't open i tunes says locked file

can't open i tunes says locked file

Hello sjo400
When the iTunes file is locked, that normally means that there is a permissions issue. If that is the case, check out the article below to change them so you can open it again.

  • Can't open numbers documents, says index.xml file is missing?

    can't open numbers documents, says index.xml file is missing

    I came across this problem after upgrading to Mavericks.  Here's what I did to solve the problem:
    Issue:  I began working on an existing spreadsheet.  After I saved it and tried to pull it up again later, I got the message "index.xml file is missing...".
    Go to your dock and delete the icon for Numbers (mine still referred to the previous version of Numbers). 
    Go to Applications and drag the Numbers icon to the dock.  This icon now links to the new version of Numbers and  (hopefully)  your spreadsheet should work.

  • I was using Numbers '08 and just upgraded to 3.5.2 but now can't open any of my '08 files.  Message says save to '09 first to open.  Well, I don't have '09 so what do I do?

    Or you may obtain iWork '09 DVD package from Amazon online et al. Sold at very low price now. It is really worth it. Don't forget to apply the iWork 9.0.3 updater after intalling it.

  • I did a system restore to a previous state now can't open I-Tunes

    To cut a long story short my windows XP PC is having problems so I have done a system restore to 1 month ago. The problem is that I can't open I-Tunes now. First it said that I need to uninstall & reintsall ITunes because it can't open quick time, so I went to my program files and opened quicktime manually which opens ok (although it may be an older version). When I then try and open i-tunes it says that it can't read my library because it has been updated since, and nothing happens. If I then re-set my PC back to today then everything is fine again. I believe that I-tunes last updated itself on 3rd June, but my PC problems happened before that so I need to restore my PC to an earlier state.
    I have over 3500 songs in my I-tunes libary, about 200 purchases and about 20 playlists and I am worried about losing them all if I re-install as suggested. Can anyone help me please????
    Or is there a way to transfer my i-tunes library over manually so that it opens it ok?

    +When I then try and open i-tunes it says that it can't read my library+
    Use the directions from this article to find an itunes database that will work.
    Surely one of the files in the *Previous iTunes Libraries* folder will work.

    hello, I can see the Icon of my external hard on the mac os x 10.6.8 but I can not open it or view any file in the external hard
    your prompt reply will be appreciated
    thanks

    Reinstall 10.6 again, but this time hold c boot off the 10.6 and erase the ENTIRE internal drive.
    You do this by selecting the drive makers name and size on the left hand side, not the slightly indented partition underneath it.
    If you erase and install 10.6 only into a parittion, say Macintosh HD, the you still have the hidden Lion Recovery Partition on the drive and it appears you already have 10.7
    In the MAS, hold option and click Purchases to redownload Lion
    FYI, you don't need to install 10.6 to reinstall 10.7, 10.7 can be reinstalled via the Lion Recovery, Command r boot.

  • Logic Pro 9.0.0 can't open GarageBand 6.0.4 files

    As the title reads "Logic Pro 9.0.0 can't open GarageBand 6.0.4 files" - any ideas? Logic just says files were created by a newer Logic pro version, they were created with GrarageBand not logic so I don't know.

    If you upgraded Logic to the latest version (9.1.4) you might be able to open them, in fact I think you can. Garageband is a subset of Logic, so the message you're seeing in Logic is correct.

  • How many databases can be opened simultaneously in a single file?

    To all:
    I don't known how many databases can be opened simultaneously in a single file. After my application open 499 databases in a single file simultaneously, DB->open return error 12.(can not allocate memory ?).
    How can i do ? Thanks.

    I found it:
    Berkeley DB Reference Guide:
    Locking Subsystem
         PrevRefNext
    Configuring locking: sizing the system
    The lock system is sized using the following three methods:
    DB_ENV->set_lk_max_locks
    DB_ENV->set_lk_max_lockers
    DB_ENV->set_lk_max_objects
    The DB_ENV->set_lk_max_locks, DB_ENV->set_lk_max_lockers, and DB_ENV->set_lk_max_objects methods specify the maximum number of locks, lockers, and locked objects supported by the lock subsystem, respectively. The maximum number of locks is the number of locks that can be simultaneously requested in the system. The maximum number of lockers is the number of lockers that can simultaneously request locks in the system. The maximum number of lock objects is the number of objects that can simultaneously be locked in the system. Selecting appropriate values requires an understanding of your application and its databases. If the values are too small, requests for locks in an application will fail. If the values are too large, the locking subsystem will consume more resources than is necessary. It is better to err in the direction of allocating too many locks, lockers, and objects because increasing the number of locks does not require large amounts of additional resources. The default values are 1000 of each type of object.
    When configuring a Berkeley DB Concurrent Data Store application, the number of lock objects needed is two per open database (one for the database lock, and one for the cursor lock when the DB_CDB_ALLDB option is not specified). The number of locks needed is one per open database handle plus one per simultaneous cursor or non-cursor operation.
    Configuring a Berkeley DB Transactional Data Store application is more complicated. The recommended algorithm for selecting the maximum number of locks, lockers, and lock objects is to run the application under stressful conditions and then review the lock system's statistics to determine the maximum number of locks, lockers, and lock objects that were used. Then, double these values for safety. However, in some large applications, finer granularity of control is necessary in order to minimize the size of the Lock subsystem.
    The maximum number of lockers can be estimated as follows:
    * If the database environment is using transactions, the maximum number of lockers can be estimated by adding the number of simultaneously active non-transactional cursors open database handles to the number of simultaneously active transactions and child transactions (where a child transaction is active until it commits or aborts, not until its parent commits or aborts).
    * If the database environment is not using transactions, the maximum number of lockers can be estimated by adding the number of simultaneously active non-transactional cursors and open database handles to the number of simultaneous non-cursor operations.
    The maximum number of lock objects needed for a single database operation can be estimated as follows:
    * For Btree and Recno access methods, you will need one lock object per level of the database tree, at a minimum. (Unless keys are quite large with respect to the page size, neither Recno nor Btree database trees should ever be deeper than five levels.) Then, you will need one lock object for each leaf page of the database tree that will be simultaneously accessed.
    * For the Queue access method, you will need one lock object per record that is simultaneously accessed. To this, add one lock object per page that will be simultaneously accessed. (Because the Queue access method uses fixed-length records and the database page size is known, it is possible to calculate the number of pages -- and, therefore, the lock objects -- required.) Deleted records skipped by a DB_NEXT or DB_PREV operation do not require a separate lock object. Further, if your application is using transactions, no database operation will ever use more than three lock objects at any time.
    * For the Hash access method, you only need a single lock object.
    For all access methods, you should then add an additional lock object per database for the database's metadata page.
    Note that transactions accumulate locks over the transaction lifetime, and the lock objects required by a single transaction is the total lock objects required by all of the database operations in the transaction. However, a database page (or record, in the case of the Queue access method), that is accessed multiple times within a transaction only requires a single lock object for the entire transaction.
    The maximum number of locks required by an application cannot be easily estimated. It is possible to calculate a maximum number of locks by multiplying the maximum number of lockers, times the maximum number of lock objects, times two (two for the two possible lock modes for each object, read and write). However, this is a pessimal value, and real applications are unlikely to actually need that many locks. Reviewing the Lock subsystem statistics is the best way to determine this value.
    I created DB_CONFIG file, and add three lines:
    set_lk_max_locks 20000
    set_lk_max_lockers 20000
    set_lk_max_objects 20000
    As the default values are 1000 of each type of object, my applicaton open 499 database(except internal database) simultaneously(CDB modal) . After changed parameters, my application opend above 6000 database.

  • I can't open iTunes, dialogue says I need QuickTime 7.5.5.

    I can't open iTunes, dialogue says I need QuickTime 7.5.5, but when I download the upgrade it won't install over my QuickTime Pro 7.2.1. How do I upgrade QT so it'll be compatible with my iTunes?
    -Rob

    BDA and TMM,
    Excellent thanks. I've got iTunes working now, after downloading the latest version of iTunes by clicking Software Update from the Apple menu. And I downloaded QuickTime 7.7 from the links you recommended, BDA. For some reason I'd been unable to locate the latest QT for Leopard no matter how hard I tried—it was probably staring me in the face all the while.
    Much appreciated,
    -Rob
