  • ITunes Error (-50) (cannot save library)

    I just updated to the newest version of iTunes (7.2.0.35) using the apple downloader/installer and I lost my library and all my playlists. I now get an error "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-50)." Any fixes? I reinstalled iTunes manually and it didn't solve the issue.

    Please post problems with iTunes 7.3 in this thread for simplicity:

  • Error message (-48) cannot save library

    I have the library saved on a network drive and it was working fine until I just started getting the error message "cannot save library error (-48). But the library is still there and it appears that new songs/pods are being saved. Any idea what this error message is? Thanks

    That error is referring to the iTunes Library.itl or .xml file, as explained in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
    WHen are you seeing this error, when you try to close itunes?
    Can you rename that file? Because if you can't, the operating system is confused and thinks something has a lock on it. Restarting your PC should clear that situation.

  • Keep getting Cannot save library file error -50 message on my PC

    I keep getting "cannot save library file error -50 when I open up iTunes on my PC
    Won't download music purchased on iPhone4 to iTunes in my PC

    Same issue here. Running Windows Vista Home Premium Edition and newest version of iTunes. Normally happens when I am ripping a CD into iTunes and by chance multi task or the screen saver kicks in.
    What ***** is if you walk away while ripping a CD(because it takes 3 times as long in iTunes vs any other ripper), and it will halt your ripping until you click "ok". I have not tried the "dont tell me again" check box just in case it is a problem I need to know about. This happened about 2 or 3 days after upgrading to Vista and I got an empty library the next time I opened the library. Somehow it got corrupted. Luckily I back up the xml file and just restored that one file from last back up.
    (off subject but also getting the maxed our processor still in the newest version for Windows Vista. Wish they would fix that!)

  • Access Privileges error, cannot save library

    I have had my iPod for 4+ years but after upgrading software about a year ago, I repeatedly get the error "Cannot save Library. You do not have enough access privileges." I have followed recommendations in previous threads to unmark the read-only button but to no avail. Very frustrating. Please help before I switch to a Zune.

  • My calendar will no longer let me add new event or delete them, it comes up with an error saying "cannot save event, no end date set" or "event does not belong to that event store". can anyone help with this?

    Hi,
    To configure your ODBC DataSource, go to Control Panel ---> DataSources(ODBC) (If you are in a Windows environment).
    Select the tab System DSN. If you have not added your data source, then do so by clicking on the Add button. If you have added the datasource, click on the Configure button to configure it.
    Give the datasource name, then the database name.
    You have to give the hostname, service name and server name. I guess, in most cases, the datasource name and host name will be the same, service name and server name will be the same. If you are using TCP/IP, the protocol will be onsoctcp.
    There will be a file named Services under C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc where you have to give the port number for accessing this server.
    It will be like this <service name> <portnumber>/tcp
    Hope this helps...
    best wishes,

  • Generic file I/O error. Cannot save VI "filename.VI"

    Hi, I have LV 8.2.  I am having problems saving VI's after editing them.  I am getting the message:
    Generic file I/O error.  Cannot save VI "filename.VI"
    I can recreate the problem by creating a blank VI, placing a property node on the block diagram, right clicking on property and choosing, select property and in the window that pops up expanding Application and clicking on Directory path and clicking OK.  I save this VI to disk.  Then I load the file again and delete the property node. Now if I try to save that I get: Generic file I/O error.  Cannot save VI "filename.VI"
    Furthermore with the real VI that I am having problems with.  If, when I get the cannot save message, I do a "Save as" and save a copy as "filename backup" and then quit labview without saving the "filename" vi, when I run LabVIEW again I get:
    The last time you ran LabVIEW, an internal rror or crash occured at save.cpp, line 821.
    I click investigate internal error message now and get told there is a logfile of the error.  The contents of the file on one occasion were, quote:

    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    Sorry you've encountered this problem.  The cpp error is a known issue, which is filed under corrective action request number : 42BI4OO5.  In a nutshell, this means R&D is looking into the problem.  I attempted to reproduce the problem as you described below, but I did not get the "Generic file I/O error" as you did.
    If you have any further insight or detail which perhaps is the key to reproducing this, please repost, and I'll try to reproduce this again!  In the mean time, does it help to copy and paste your code to a new VI, or does that VI suffer the same problem?
    Thank you,
    Best Regards,
    JLS
    PS -

    "This was reported to R&D (42BI4OO5 CAR ID) for further investigation. Thanks for the feedback!"

  • PPT has found an error and cannot save the file in Microsoft Powerpoint2010

    I have been working in 2010 for 6 months and this is the 3rd time I have experienced this error.  I am using my own 2010- created, macro-enabled template - I want to save the file but I get an error message stating PPT
    has found an error and cannot save the file. 
    This has happened on both newly created files using this template, and files previously successfully saved.  The template has been used without error many, many times.
    I have on occassion been able to save as a 97-2003 file and then resave (with some loss of function) as a 2010 macro-enabled file, on another occassion I was not able to do this and lost some work.
    Copying into a new document didn't solve the problem. Copying into a different template didn't solve the problem.
    Any ideas what is happening, and how I can stop it happening?
    Kind regards

    Hi,
    Have you tried saving the file in *.pptm format (basically this extension is for powerpoint presentation with macros)
    Maybe try Save As and see if you can save it under a different name.
    Once you get the file closed, then reopen PPT and go to Office Button | PPT Options | Resources. Run Office Diagnostics there.
    In addition, make sure you have a local printer driver installed and set as the default printer. And it really might fix the issue.
    Here's info on what to do:http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00952.htm

  • Error -50 : unknown error - cannot save library

    Hello everybody,
    I recently changed from windows 7 pc to windows 8 pc and I have installed the most recent version of iTunes (11.0.4.4). However, when ever I start up iTunes I get an error message that iTunes can't save library; unknow error -50. I googled on the internet for solutions. The most solutions were from years ago and not specific for windows 7. So until know nothing solved my problem. I cant imagine that I am the only one having this problem. Therefore I kinda was hoping that one of you fellow iTunes enthousiatic users has or had the same problem and can help me solving it.
    Before you all redirect me to another similar threat on this forum; I have seen it and I have readt it. And I tried the suggestions. And they didn't work. And I noticed that all the answers and suggestion were for Mac OS users. I use Windows 8 ! So I was hoping that someone could suggest solutions for Windows 8 users.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Frank

    The error has been addressed in the latest iTunes version 7.3.1

  • ITunes cannot save library

    Ive just moved my itunes library to another disk and it all seems to be working fine..... but for some reason I keep getting 'cannot save itunes library error'
    I moved the library from <user>/music/itunes to /media/itunes (media is the new disk), and i did this by change the library address to the new location in the preferences and then consolidating the library.... before the actual music was organised in <user>/music/itunes/itunes music and after consolidating it put the music in /media/itunes, so im guessing that itunes is unable to write the database files into the correct location.....
    How can i get the database files to write without risking losing my library?

    Hi, I have read and write permissions on the newly installed disk and read and write permissions in the folder the music is in....
    The verify and repair permissions buttons are greyed out in disk utility..... could this be to do with the formatting? its formatted as mac os extended (journaled).

  • I keep getting error message (cannot save as "file name" because of a program error)

    I opened a pdf in photoshop and when I need to save it back as a pdf i get this error (cannot save as "file name" because of a program error). I need to save it specifically as PDF/X-1a:2001 but the only pdf options that will work are "highest quality print" and "smallest file size". None of the others work. I'm running Photoshop CS5 on a PC laptop and I tried it on my desktop and also a mac running CS 5.5 and always get the same error. I think the problem might be with the custom color settings I have but it works fine on my work computer with the same color settings. What could be going on?

    Yes, it's probably related to your color settings in some way. Why you are doing it in the first place...? Since they are ISO standards there is simply no liberty in choosing arbitrary settings for PDF/X, especially the archicval flavors... So in conclusion you will have to make your color settings compliant. The crash itself is probably a bug in the PDF libraries and it may work at your office because there you may use a different version of Acrobat/ Adobe Reader and the associated PDF libraries which do not have this bug. Still, the initial issue remains: You need to work within the spec, not against it.

  • Imovie 11 on macbook pro get error message cannot save project changes

    imovie 11 on macbook pro get error message cannto save project changes:
    Please check the disk to ensure there is enough free space and you have permission to write projects. iMovie will try to save periodically, but your changes will be lost if you quit iMovie before the problem is resolved.  I have 462 GB disc space available.  I don't know about "permission to write projects".

    OK - bad luck about that. I hope you weren't too far advanced into your project. Sorry to hear that repairing permissions didn't help.
    When working on a long project, it's advisable to duplicate the project from time to time. In Project Library view click on your project then select File>Duplicate Project from iMovie's menu. A number will be appended to the name of the duplicate, otherwise you can rename it. A short-cut is to control-click (or right-click) on the project name, then select Duplicate Project from the pop-up menu. Duplicating doesn't take up much extra space, as the project points to the clips in the Event (or Events) and doesn't contain actual video as such (it's basically a text file which also holds information about your edits, added photos, music, titles and so forth).
    Also, it's best to have a backup, such as Time Machine. It gives you peace of mind when things go wrong!

  • Cannot save library file message

    I am repeatedly getting an error message "The itunes library file cannot be saved an unknown error has occurred (-1450). When I start itunes, I have to manually add a temp file which only has some to my music. What do I do?

    Dude, I have the same exact problem and it just comes up randomly when I am just going through itunes and listenting to music. The exact same error code. I tried uninstalling itunes once so far, and it worked ok for two days, then all of a sudden right after I got done synching my iPod, the message appeared and i kept clicking ok over and over and it kept appearing. I've had the same error message about 5 times at different times now and it's extremely frustrating. It's the reason I joined this forum. Sorry I don't have answer but your not alone and we definitely need help itunes!
