Error -48 EVERY time I start iTunes for Windows

Every time I start iTunes from windows, I get a dialog with this error message:
"The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occured (-48)"
That's it. Stupid, uninformative and useless.
I ALWAYS check "do not warn me again" but it ALWAYS warns me next time I open itunes.
It seems that my library is saved because it loads properly next time I start iTunes.
Any ideas?

Try uninstalling and reinstalling:

Rented movie has expired yet it still tries to download to iTunes so I get an error message every time I start iTunes

I rented a movie - it expired a month ago. iTunes still tries to download the movie every time i start iTunes. I get an error that it couldn't download the movie.
help....

did both as yo usuggested and it goes away while iTunes is up and running which is better than before.
However, when I restart iTunes it just comes back.
there is something else that initiates the need for the download.
frustrating!

Every time I start iTunes I get a missing CD/DVD software error.

Installed new CD/DVD burning software and now every time I start iTunes I get a missing CD/DVD software error. I've repaired iTunes twice.

Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode? Particularly when I have to do it before I turn on iTunes.

Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

I get error message every time firefox starts: xmlNode.getElementsByTagName("id")[0].firstChild is null - 2

About two weeks ago I started getting this error message every time I started up Firefox: xmlNode.getElementsByTagName("id")[0].firstChild is null - 2.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the error continues. Then I did a System restore to several months ago, but the error continues. It doesn't happen with any other program.
Does anyone know how to get rid of it. If it has anything to do with the registry, I'll just have to let it be and switch to a different browser.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

My Itunes Match crashes every time I start Itunes

I have the current iTunes. I have cloud match. every time i start itunes it goes through the match process and gets to the part where it's going to upload the songs it wasn't able to match (about 325 out of 22.5k) and "itunes has stopped working" every time. These are songs I've loaded to itunes from CD's. Any ideas on what to do?

Hi,
There may a problem track amongst those tracks that are waiting. Firstly, add iCloud status column to song view - go to menu > view > view options and tick box.
Next is to examine those tracks waiting - is there anything unusual or large? You may need to remove all those tracks waiting from your library. Next hold shift key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes, reopen and turn on match. You will be asked to add this computer, do so. The match process should be quick, match will remember previous matches and uploads.
Once process complete, readd those tracks, a small batch at a time. This will help you find any track that match does not like.

I encounter the "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred(-50)." every time i start itunes on my dell laptop which is running windows 7. How do i resolve this?

(-50)

Try signing out of the iTunes Store, closing iTunes, then reopening. Does the error occur?
See also Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows. Not sure it is relevant but can't hurt.
It may help to exclude the iTunes folder from any real-time anti-virus scanner.

ITunes asks for my password every time I start iTunes

I have a MBP tunning Lion 10.7.2. I am running iTunes version 10.5.1. Everytime I start iTunes it asks for my itunes password to make automatic downloads available. So I enter it. But the next time I start iTunes it asks again, and again and again. If I hit cancel it will ask again. If I Sign Out of the store it won't ask anymore, until I sign into the store again. If I stay signed in and I hit cancle when it asks it still lists me as signed in.
This seems to have started since Lion.
Any suggestions? It's very annoying.

Okay, I think I got the answer. I went to the Apple store and asked a salesman who pointed me in the direction of another salesman who knows his stuff. I've only done this for a few days, but it seems to be working.
Open itunes and sign out and de-authorize. You must do both.
He reccomended going into keychain access and deleteing the itunes entry. I could not find it, which may have been the problem, more later.
I then rebooted and cleared PRAM for good measure.
Now restart itunes and sign in and authorize.
I did this on Monday night and have not been having the problem, I opened itunes several times and rebooted several times, etc.
Today I checked keychain access and now I see an itunes entry.
I think it is okay now!

ITunes Setup Assistant runs every time I start iTunes 7.3.1.3

The past 2 iterations of iTunes have had the same problem for me - even though the program is installed already, it doesn't save my settings and runs the setup assistant every time I start the application. I've gone through the assistant twice and put everything as I had it previously but, once I close the program and restart, the assistant pops up again and my settings are gone. I never had this problem until 7.3 or 7.3.1 and it's very frustrating... (>_<)<br>

Well, iTunes appears to finally work correctly. I don't know exactly why this is but it's due to one of three possible things. First, I uninstalled the 2 programs that I had installed to monitor what music I played for their services. These programs were Last.fm for Windows Version 1.3.1.1 iTunes plugin version 2.0.11.0 and Virb.com iTunes Plugin Version 1.0.0.5. Finally, instead of using the Apple Software Update on my computer as I had previously, this time I went directly to Apple's website, downloaded the entire iTunes + Quicktime install package, and reinstalled from that. After doing so, the Setup Assistant ran again but finally remembered my altered settings upon program restart. Now that iTunes was working properly, I have reinstalled both plugins and they now appear to function properly without negatively affecting iTunes. I hope this helps people who have also installed plugins to monitor their music listening patterns and had problems with the latest iTunes update.

Error 4002 every time I open iTunes

Every time I open iTunes up I get an error box stating;
"We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (4002).
There was an error in the iTunes store"
This box comes up every time I open the application, whether it's been running for the whole day before and I open it the following morning to smaller time gaps when I shut the application down and come back to it shortly after.
I periodically buy the odd album from iTunes but nothing recently so that shouldn't be doing it. I have checked all available purchased downloads and there is nothing showing.
I'm running on the current version 11.0.1 but to be honest it was happening before version 11.
I am subscribed to iTunes Match which I purchased primarily for another form of back up.
I have read that there may be an issue with iTunes Match and Genius?
Thanks in advance for any solutions and help.

Before I'm told to Turn Genius on or off again, where is the option on iTunes 11.0.1 in that if you goto
Store > Update Genius but no Turn Off/On anymore

File browser crashes every time that start looking for files

Error when starting iTunes for windows 64bit

When I start itunes (latest version as of 26-1-2014) I get the following error: The procedure entry point ?fastFree@***@@YAXPAX@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library JavaScriptCore.dll. I am working on a Windows 7 64 bit version.
Please advice. I have already uninstalled and re-installed iTunes, Apple Application support, MS .NET 4, Quicktime.

I managed to resolve this by carrying out the steps here. I was getting the same error after trying to reinstall the previous version (11.1.13)

I uninstalled all Apple products and deleted the Program Files directories and restarted when it said.
Reinstalled and ITunes now works correctly. Hope that helps.

Why does the iTunes AppleID system refuse to work properly without the need to reset the password every time I open iTunes for use?

Alright so here is the issue. When I first started using iTunes I created my AppleID. I locked it in to remember my password and authorize my computer so that I would NEVER HAVE TO ENTER IT AGAIN. So years pass, no problem. Then "ITUNES 11" come on everyone lets upgrade or you can't proper use the iTunes Store. Seriously it wouldn't let me access the store. Go Figure. So I upgrade simple right? No. It really isn't when iTunes 11 rolled out it was riddled with minor bugs that made the experience annoying so I did a rollback and live without the store for awhile.
About a year passes and I try again this time upgrading iTunes through a COMPLETE fresh install, again I did what had done the first time I logged my AppleID and reauthorized my computer. Hurrah other than getting use to the new UI it ran perfectly. Yes Finally! Right? Again.... No. No more than 2 or 3 software updates later suddenly my password for my AppleID is incorrect I was like "Okay?" and re-entered it thinking the big update cleared my settings.
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
I was like okay maybe the user agreement change and we all need to reset passwords and re-accept the EUA. So I go through the process to create a new password successfully and reset my AppleID in iTunes with the new password. Come back a few weeks later it happens again this time I enter my new password and what do I get?
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
So I first do a repair install to my iTunes than reset my password this time NOT setting it to remember password. Great everything works fine again password even matched my Home CompID so that I could NEVER lose it well come a few days later I try to use the store and what happens?
Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
to try to make my Long story a little shorter....
This has been going on for the better part of 3 years I have almost completely dropped iTunes which has the better store library for Goggle Play Music who's store library isn't even a third the size iTunes has because their system works and my log-in is my e-mail. I repeatedly completely uninstalled iTunes and wiped it from my registry in hope a clean install would fix the problem but it never does.
My OS is Vista Home Premium Edition 32-bit and no picking on my OS I been working to get a new computer but that isn't happening anytime soon so I work with what I got.

Even removing the .xml files doesn't make a difference. Also, I now installed another update of iTunes, but still having the same problem, and this time there are no .xml files or preference files whatsoever in the Application Data and Local Settings\Application Data iTunes folders. It seems like for some reason iTunes is unable to create these. What should I do?

Every time I start iTunes the Setup Assistant appears (V.2)

I have the same problem as this person
