Cannot access itunes library

I have moved my library to an external hard drive due to space required. Now i cannot get my apple tv to acces this library. I may have not done the right thing or have already done th wrong thing. If any body has some sugestion of where i should start looking. I have already turned things off and reinstalled items but this has not helped.

Temtoes:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Check out Lori's post in this thread, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=446667&tstart=0, with her links to screenshots showing how to get the individual tracks and playlists to display.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate account on same macbook. Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account

Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate itunes account on same macbook. Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account. How do I do this?

iTunes account is not the same as iTunes library.
iTunes account is what you use to purchase from iTunes.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
You can have items from multiple iTunes accounts in one iTunes library.

Cannot access itunes library file over network

Hi,
So I want to set up my old Mac Mini as a home server for our Apple Tv2 and my Macbook pro, but I am having difficulty setting up iTunes. All of our music is stored on an external hard drive, attached to the Mini and i have set up an iTunes library on the Mini too. So far so good, and I can access this library on the MacBook as a shared library, and the Apple TV through home sharing.
But, I want to go further and add to and edit the shared library (i.e. the one on the Mini) using iTunes on my MacBook. Am I able to also access the library file stored on the Mini from iTunes on the MacBook pro, so I am using the same library file on two instances of iTunes on two different computers?
Currently when I try (by opening iTunes on the MacBook while holding down option, and 'choosing' the library on the Mini, i get the following error message:
The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.
Perhaps this is a bridge too far, but I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
Matthew

Apart from the user permissions issue which could probably require you adjusting user permissions on the files on the mini, you cannot have the library file open in two running iTunes concurrently.

Cannot access iTunes library via FTP network drive.

Hi,
I am trying to point iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my library which is on a networked drive mounted via an FTP connection but it keeps saying that it cant connect to the library coz the "iTunes Library.itl" file is not writtable.
Any idea how I can rectify this issue?

Cannot access iTunes library in iPhoto nor in iMovie

I am using a macpro retina (although I had the same problem with older mac pro) with iphoto 11 and itunes 11. When trying to make a slideshow in the iphoto app my itunes library or playlists do not appear in music pane. I asked this question before and go some instructions which led me to drag iTunes Music Library.xml to desk top make an adjustment but it did not work. I still have iTunes Library.xml page on my desktop. How do I fix problem and what should I do with iTunes Music Library.xml on desktop? I am using iTunes 11.1.3 (8)OS Mountain Lion 10.8.5, and iPhoto 11.9.4.3

I got this problem solved with a combination of suggestions from discussions here and other fixes conducted at an Apple store one to one

Tried to update my itunes and it says "iTunes installed incorrectly" now i cannot access my library

tried to update itunes and it says after download "iTunes installed incorrectly" now I cannot access my library.....HELP!!

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I cannot access iTunes on my desktop. Works fine on my laptop. Message says "The iTunes Library .itl is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission." The disk is not locked.

I cannot access iTunes from my deskyop. Worked great until a couple of days ago, then I now get the message that "The iTunes Library .itl is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file." I have not turned on any parental controls on the desktop. I have reloaded iTunes several times. No luck. I've run virus scans several times. No luck. I've restarted & tuned off the computer several times. No luck. I've uninstalled iTunes then reinstalled several times. No luck. Any thoughts?

To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file. Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty. Note that I am running Windows 8. Hope this helps!

Error Message--ITunes runs in 64-bit mode. Uncheck the Open in 32-bit mode in Get info for ITunes. However it is UNCHECKED. I cannot access itunes at all.What now?

Fallout75, good catch on the eXo plugin. To remove it, in the Finder click "Go" on the menu bar and pull down to "Go to Folder" and then type ~/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins
When that Finder window opens, you should see an "eXo" subdirectory. Just delete that "eXo" folder and iTunes should start without the error.

Cannot Access Itunes

Okay. I realize that itunes is busy with the Christmas rush. But, I've done everything listed in these forums and still cannot access itunes. People are saying they are getting in, intermittantly, but I've had no luck since Christmas Day when the new Nano crashed my itunes and I had to uninstall itunes and quicktime and reinstall. Since then, the music library is okay but I cannot get into the the itunes to download new program for the nanno (we purchased two of them and have had MAJOR problems and are ready to return them...) Previous to Christmas I was operating a Mini with no problmes. I've removed pop up lockers, flushed DNS settings Changed the windows system32 drivers to "localhost and phobos.apple.com". HELP!

What do you mean downloading new program for nano? I would just connect your nano ONE AT A TIME and then click the update button. And the iTunes STORE is the only thing that could be labelled at "busy". Other than that, I would just click the update or even restore button once the nano is connected.
Cheers,
Kelsey

Cannot access iTunes - HELP

With the upgrade I cannot access iTunes due to 'unexpected error'.
It say it's the visualiser plug-in. But I cannot uninstall Quicktime (which is what I presume it the cause) as the installer is not compatible with this OS (apparently) - it won't let me get past the drive selection to chose uninstall.
I have also already tried reinstalling iTunes and Quicktime (which I can't do).
Any suggestions how to fix this?

I had the same problem. Tracked mine down to Foxy Music Plug In that i had installed through Firefox. Went to ~\Library\itunes\plugins and deleted the plug in, rebooted and its all good now.
Hope this helps

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

HT1527 I have windows 8.1 and cannot access itunes store even creating a new apple id. With other users on the same computer I can access itunes store. How can I solve this?

I have windows 8.1 and cannot access itunes store even creating a new apple id. With other users on the same computer I can access itunes store. How can I solve this?

i had the same problem before using a fresh install of Windows 8.1. I have resolved this issue by running the program compatibility wizard. This I did by right-clicking on the iTunes icon in the desktop, selecting Troubleshoot compatibility, waited for it to detect compatibility issues and when presented with the following options: 1.) Try recommended settings; 2.) Troubleshoot program, I chose the latter. When asked what problems I noticed, I checked the following: "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run" and "The program requires additional permission"
After that, it tired to resolve the issue, and provided the necessary settings to run iTunes. Now it's running flawlessly. I have Avast anti-virus installed though.
HTH!

Did you fail to maintain a backup copy?
If so, then you can buy a third party program to extract the music not purchased from itunes.
Itunes purchases can be transferred to your computer: File>Transfer Purchases.
