Error message in I Tunes

Since my last question was answered so quickly (thanks Zevoneer) I thought I would throw this one out there as well.
Seems whenever I make a change in the "Preferences" tab such as relocating my library, changing the sound level, changing the song format, etc. when I click on OK to exit out I get the following message:
"An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
I click on OK and the message goes away and whatever I was changing seems to take effect and work fine. What exactly is this message for, and can I get rid of it?
Once again, any help is appreciated.

Hey there Rodney274,
It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Getting error message "Can't tune to channel"

Like the title says, I get an error message saying my box can't tune to any channel, earlier the tv was working fine, then the video went out but we could still hear the channel. Next the audio went out as well. Auto fix doesn't solve the problem, and I ran the box network check and all 4 settings were OK. I'm not sure if the set top box is just bad and we need a new one or what else it could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Doublechecking before proceeding. Is that a "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed" error message?

I'm trying to sync my ipad to the itunes library - but I get an error message saying I Tunes Library full. What can I do?

I have an Ipad 2. I am trying to sync my ipad to the itunes library, but I get an error message - saying the itunes library is full. How can that be? I've deleted lots from the library to see if that would help - but it still states I am about 25gb short. Can anyone help what to do?

Could any of the music have been sourced on an external USB drive or a network drive? In iTunes, go to one of the songs that won't sync. Bring up the info page, and look at the location of that song on the disk. Does that file and path exist? That could be your problem, especially if they were on a USB drive you forgot about.

Received notice to update my I Tunes. Would not update. Error message read " I Tunes has an invalid signature" never had an issue with updates till this notice. What do i do to resolve this error?

Received notice to update ITunes. When downloading, got error message "ITunes has an invalid signature" and would not update. Never had an update issue until this download. How do i rectify this error?

Hi, bro2pro.
I would recommend a complete uninstall as outlined in the article below. Make sure to process the uninstall in the order specified.
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Once uninstalled, download iTunes directly from here iTunes 11.0.4 or iTunes.com. Make sure to save the file to your desktop instead of selecting the run option. Locate the file on your desktop, right click and select run as administrator. This should allow the install.
Cheers,
Jason H.

Error message for I-Tunes

Every time I log in to I-Tunes I get the following message.
iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I would like to uninstall and reinstall itunes, but we have three ipods on this computer, and I'm afraid that all our songs will be deleted. Does anyone know if the songs stay with the accounts and/or if uninstalling will even help alleviate this problem.

Reinstalling iTunes should not delete the music from your computer as it's stored in the iTunes music folder in "my music". All you would be doing is reinstalling the iTunes software.
If this doesn't help, you should repost your question in the iTunes for Windows forum.

Everytime i load up i-tunes about 30 seconds in i get an error message saying i-tunes has to shut down,i currently use windows XP?

I use an old laptop which still uses windows xp,i have a new laptop coming today which uses windows 8,my problem is that when i load up i-tunes,after about 30 seconds of using it,an error warning appears,those ones that asks if you want to send an error report.It is telling me that i-tunes has to shut down which it then does when you either send a report or just cancel,is this because of windows xp no longer getting support or whatever?

Hi nodski67,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand you have an alert that keeps popping up in iTunes on your Windows XP computer that forces iTunes to quit. I suggest working through the following article to isolate and resolve this situation.

I am not able to connect to I tunes store on my pc getting an unknown error message -3212, I tunes diagnostics tells me my secure link to I tunes fails, I connect fine on a I pad via same router?

Can anyone help with this question?

Alerts with codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, or due to your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try removing the proxy settings, or using a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

I tunes trys to sync and comes up with error message I tunes has stopped working, I tunes trys to sync and comes up with error message I tunes has stopped working

Hi guys, Please help
Just upgraded computer to Windows 7. Installed latest version of ITunes. It installed and uploaded all my items in my library.
Connected IPad2 and updated latest version. However whenever it trys to sync my contents either to my IPad, my wifes IPad or my new Iphone4S, it simply comes up with error message. I TUNES has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem... Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is found. Urggh, can anyone help

This is similar to my dilemma I just posted:
itunes has stopped working error msg after software updates? 50 minutes ago
I have removed Bonjour as well.
I've had this happen other times when I've updated iTunes software on other systems too, to the extent that now I'm reluctant to ever Accept when it suggests I do so. But I went ahead this time and sure enough I think I'll have to do a total reinstall.
LOL, I don't think Windows has EVER found a solution to ANY system problem I've had which makes it mildly amusing when it acts like it's helping!

Error message -3221 - Could not connect to the I-Tunes Store

I last accessed the I-Tunes store on November 3, 2007 with no problems. The last week of November I received the following error message. "I-Tunes could not connect to the I-Tunes store. An unknown error has occurred (-3221)." I have the latest version of I-Tunes (7.4.3.1). I cleared my DNS server and am sure I-Tunes isn't blocked in my firewall. In fact, I followed all the suggestions given on the I-Tunes diagnostic website. I cannot find any mention of anyone else that has received this particular message. Can anyone help me????

Macafee security center is the culprit.
Open Macafee then: select;
Internet & Network > configure
Firewall > Advanced
Programm Permissions > scroll down to Itunes
Highlight (click on)
Then Grant full access to Itunes.
APPLY then OK
When you select store from Itunes you will need to register with Itunes

Apologies for the issue and the experience that you described above. I have asked a colleague to review your account and reach out to you so that we can get any underlying issues identified and resolved.
Thanks for your patience.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
