Can't open iTunes after accidently unplugging iPod--help!

Having problems opening iTunes after I accidently unplugged my 60G video iPod while it was loading. iTunes kind of froze, with the spinning beach ball, and I had to force quit to stop it. I restarted the computer for good measure, but now, when I try to open iTunes, I get the message:
"The iTunes Music Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
Of course, the library file is NOT locked, NOT on a locked disk, and I DO have write permission for the file.
Can anyone help with this matter?
Thanks,
Terry
Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Try running Disk Utility and perform a "Repair Permission".
Also check manually through finder the permissions on "iTunes" folder as well as on the files in that folder.

  • Can't open iTunes after migrating new computer

    Can't open iTunes after migrating my old powerbook to my new macbook pro. Get the error message: "The file iTunes Library cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Help!

    Did you install the latest version of iTunes on the new PC? The usual reason for this is that you had a newer version on the old PC.
    If you can't get it to work the simplest thing to do is to drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml from the iTunes folder to desktop.
    Then start iTunes and use the following link to recreate your library.

    Note you already dragged the library files out of the iTunes folder.

  • How can I open iTunes after recent update 01/25/2014

    After installing the recent update for iTunes,  I can't open iTunes.  Tried to uninstall/reinstais missing, with same results.  I have received several error messages:  MSVCR80.dill is missing.  Please re-install, error 7 Windows error (126).
    When will this corrupted download be fixed?  I can't access iTunes at all.

    Do the following:
    Uninstall from Windows the following four programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
    Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
    Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.

  • Can't open itunes after 7.7 upgrade

    I can no longer open itunes after updating 7.7. Tried all normal tricks. Multiple reinstalls and restarts. I get "itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" and asks if I want to send an error report to microsoft. I also tried downloading older versions of itunes (which worked fine before update) and get the same error message. Quicktime gets the same message too. I tried to uninstall that and a fatal error message came up and would not uninstall. Last but not least I had an "itunes helper has a problem ect." on a couple of my reinstalls. Read something about uninstalling boujour with no results.
    Any fix or help would be appreciated. I'm not super computer guy...just so you know. Thanks

    This sounds like your shortcut is still pointing to iTunes 7 (assuming you upgraded to version 8). Find the version 8 application and it should work.
    The problem with the Mac version 8 is that it crashes consistently at startup, and the solution to that is ditching the new library files and reverting to the most recent version 7 library (copy from from the Previous iTunes Library directory and delete the date suffix).
    There was a known issue with proxies settings in earlier versions of 7 that has apparently been reintroduced in version 8.
    Way to go, Apple.

  • Re: Can't open itunes after update.

    I just updated my macbook pro to 10.8.2 with the newest update. Im pretty sure the only real update was the new itunes and a few other small things. After my Macbook pro installed the updates and restarted, I can no longer open itunes and when I try to an error message appears saying "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes." So i tried to go to apple.com and redownload itunes but it won't download. Has this happened to anyone else? Anybody have any tips?
    Thanks

  • I can't open itunes after latest installation

    i installed the latest version of itunes and followed all the steps but now when i want to open itunes a pop-up appears saying "This action is only vaild for producta that are currently installed"

    "the following file doesn't exist or is not a valid uninstallation log file
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\QUICKTIME\UNINSTALL.LOG"
    ahhhhh ... one of those.
    oddly enough, these ones typically respond better to brute force than they do to finesse. rather than uninstalling QuickTime first, try doing a standalone QuickTime 7.1.5 install "over the top" of what you've already got in there:
    Quicktime 7.1.5 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
    if the standalone install goes through okay, does your iTunes start launching properly again?

  • Can't open iTunes after upgrade: Procedure entry point AVCFURLAssetInheritURIQueryComponentFromReferencingURIKey error

    Hi,
    I am using Windows 7 Professional, and upgraded my iTunes yesterday to 11.3. When I attempt to open iTunes, I am getting two error messages:
    iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found
    The procedure entry point AVCFURLAssetInheritURIQueryComponentFromReferencingURIKey could not be located in the dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll.
    I clicked OK, and get another error message:
    iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes.
    Error 7 (Windows error 127)
    I reinstalled iTunes and still get the errors.
    Is there a solution to this problem? I would hate to uninstall and start over --- especially if that won't fix the problem.
    Thanks.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    Not an error message I recognise but the error has the same pattern as those in the first and third boxes suggesting that you've got an outdated .dll file that needs replacing. You should find the file in the Apple Application Support folder. Delete it and then repair Apple Application Support.

  • Can't open Itunes on my pc, Please help me!

    HI, i was updating itunes around 2 weeks ago. After i tried to start itunes but i won't start. I have tried to reinstall the program, but it didn't work either.

    1. First check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    2. If that fails, refer to following article to remove SC Info.lib file:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    3. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REAPIR.

  • Can not open itunes after system restore????

    Hi There,
    I recently used system restore to fix some problems with my computer. After that, everything runs well except itunes. Whenever I double click on itunes, it prompts error box "itunes encountered a problem and needs to close, we are sorry for any inconveniences" and gives me options of sending the problem to Microsoft or not. I am using Real player now but it is way worse than itunes. Please help me. Thank you so much
    Have a great day.

    hi melissa!
    Hey- Im having the same problem with itunes. After I did a system restore, I get the same error over and over again
    hmmmmm. if you system restore over a fresh itunes install (or QuickTime install), you can strip out installation registry entries for itunes. (people typically get the "some of the required files are missing" message after doing that though.)
    (MS) Frequently Asked Questions Regarding System Restore in Windows XP
    let's try scraping your existing itunes and quicktime out of there, and reinstalling.
    first, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (we will be using it later on.)
    next, use the complete uninstallation instructions in the following document to remove your existing itunes and QT:
    Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
    if you run into trouble on one of the uninstalls, use Installer CleanUp to remove the installation configuration information for the program that is giving you grief, and then use the complete uninstallation instructions as a guide to a manual removal of leftover program files and folders.
    even if you don't run into trouble, run Windows CleanUp after you've completed the uninstalls, to check to see if there's any leftover itunes or QT installation configuration information on the PC. (if you find any, remove it.)
    reboot the PC. download and save a fresh copy of the itunes installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.

    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
