Cannot access desktop/finder/trash... itunes locked error msg?

I suddenly can't access these 4 things: desktop/finder/trash/itunes.
I was throwing away files, and wonder if I accidentally threw something important away?
With itunes, i get an error msg saying:
"The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
No idea.

Try running Repair Permissions in Disk Utility.

Cannot access Desktop Intelligence on virtual machine

Whilst I can access the web interface, somehow I cannot access Desktop Intelligence. When I logon I get the following error message:
[repo_proxy 13] SessionFacade::openSessionLogon with user info has failed(CMS host 'Desktop01' address was resolved properly, but cannot be reached to establish a CMS connection. Verify that your router/firewall allows communication on port 6400(hr=#0x80042a01)
Port 6400 on the machine is LISTENING, which tells me it's open; Windows (WinXPSP2) is off. The machine I'm logged on to is usually joined to the corporate (work) network, and, somehow tracert to the host indicates that the connection is passing through the Internet.
Trying to connect using the <internal ipaddress>:6400 is unsuccessful as well. Any ideas, pls?

You need to be able to connect to the CMS port. If this is not working even via telnet then there must be a firewall rule somewhere preventing it. Unless traffic is allowed to pass to the CMS on it's configured port (6400 by default) then any further troubleshooting is unnecessarry.

Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1437

More info needed
Which version of iTunes are you using?
What is your iPod software version as shown on the iTunes Summary page?
Error 143x, normally caused by harddisk write timeout, probably due to
iPod Hardisk failing - Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic refer to this earlier tt2 post
Slow USB port, low datarate, due to sharing with other USB devices - Disconnect all other USB devices while Restoring or syncing. Dont use any USB hub and also use the USB port at the back of the PC. and not the front.
CPU Resource drained by other Apps like email, Antivirus, web broswer - Stop them, but if stopping Antivirus please disconnect the PC from the Inernet first.
Have a nice day!

I have upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5.1 and now cannot access the camera from a locked screen. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1 and now cannot access the camera from a locked screen. Anyone have any suggestions?

From the lock screen, to access the camera you touch the camera icon and slide in an upward motion. It no longer takes a tap to get it to open.

HT3204 Cannot access the server for iTunes error

Cannot access iTunes server

After trying everything under the sun including emailing iTunes Store support, and uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes with NO success, I finally got it to work!!!
I uninstalled NetBarrier which I had recently installed and VIOLA! I can now access my Wish List and other iTunes Store items I had problems with. Hopefully, it is this simple for the rest of you.

I cannot access my music via itunes match

It has never worked well, accessing music has taken approx 2-3 minutes - slow enough that I have chosen to switch itunes match off. However, yesterday I ried again (I figured initital problems might be resolved). The problem is worse - I cannot access any music on my iphone via itunes match.
It is truly the worst purchase I have ever made.

Here's a list of specific error codes & there resolution:

Try recovery mode again, as outlined in the first article I gave you. Make sure there are no Firewalls turned on or any Anti-Virus software running. If it errors out again, pay attention to any code shown.

Cannot access Home Sharing or iTunes Wi-Fi Sync for any of my iOS devices.

Hey,
I have an iPhone 3GS and an iPad 2, both running iOS5, and the latest version of iTunes for Windows, and had previously had iTunes Wi-Fi Syncing working up until a week ago. Now I cannot even select the 'Sync Now' button on my devices, as they are saying that they cannot access OEM-PC (my computer).
In addition, I have turned Home Sharing on in iTunes, and entered my Apple ID on both devices for Home Sharing, but I cannot access my iTunes library from either devices.
I have followed all the steps that Apple's troubleshooting pages have recommended, but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A bit more info for those of you reading this.... the problem seemed to be in iTunes. For each connected device , if I clicked on the Photo option I could no longer select the second radio button for limiting the photos by Events, Albums, etc. It was an all or nothing deal. But selecting all would cause the error.
So I had read the other forum posts about the "&" symbol being the cause of the problem. I went through iPhoto and made all of the changes. It did not work. I then looked at iTunes, using the AlbumData2.xml file listed in the other forums as a reference. I found one album with the "&". I edited that one. Still would not work. So then I spent 3 hours on the phone with AppleCare last week. I talked with 4 different advisors. None of them had heard about the "&" error from the forums. We tried everything in iPhoto including repair and rebuild. Finally we created a whole new library and reimported my master photos from my original one. Using this option would allow me to now check off that radio button in iTunes. BUT... I now lost all of my albums and events and would need to rebuid them. I was not happy. They agreed and we set up time to talk this week.
So today I talked with AppleCare again. They now have more info and said the problem has to do with iTunes and the new iPhoto 9.4. It does not like the "&" symbol anywhere in either iPhoto or iTunes. So they now have me going through everything in my iTunes library. Genre is OK but any other item cannot have " & ". I have several dozen to edit and will do it over the weekend and then restore my original iPhoto Library and see if I can finally get it all to sync. I will let you know how I make out, but apparently you need to eliminate " & " from every entry in iTunes and iPhoto.
Quality control is not up to par with Apple these days.

Cannot access desktop to shoe files or folders since using migration assistant to transfer data from my old iMac to my new one. What do I need to do to access the desktop?

Cannot access desktop

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I click "download now" in iTunes, it does nothing. Plus, I try to access some things in iTunes, get Error 504.

We bought 2 iPhone 4S phones, they seem to be working fine.
Our 2 iPod Touches seem to be running a little slow, so I want to update them, but iTunes needs to be updated first.
I have to manually tell it to check for updates although my preferences are set to do it automatically.
I click "download now" and it does nothing.
When I try to access certain things within iTunes (example: My Wish List), I get Error 504.
Running Windows 7 64 bit, have tried update through Firefox and IE.
