Error when trying to open iTunes

I just got a new harddrive and the first time that I went to access my iTunes library it worked. Now when I go to open it I get the message : The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.
Does anyone have a clue what I can do to fix this. Thanks:)

It sounds as though you have this problem:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302398
You can download Microsoft Power Toys including Tweak UI here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
TweakUI can’t see Music Folder
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1731188&#1731188
If you don't want to go through all that and you are on iTunes 7, try starting iTunes with the shift key held down. It should invite you to choose a library.
Choose iTunes Library.itl which should be in:
My documents\My Music\iTunes

    Have repaired , reinstalled , created and used a restore point etc etc
    How do I fix this !!! Please

    ...iTunes.exe - Bad Image ...iTunes c:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple Apple Application Support\CoreADI.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error .....
    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • Error - 50 when trying to open iTunes. Have tried uninstalling all 6 components and reinstalling but no joy :(

    Error - 50 when trying to open iTunes. Have tried uninstalling all 6 components and reinstalling but no joy Happened after an upgrade. Can anyone help?

    By way of experiment, let's try launching iTunes as an administrator.
    In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
    If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "Program files" folder.
    If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "Program files (x86)" folder.
    Open the "iTunes" folder.
    Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
    Does it launch without the -50 now?

  • On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document created from MAC

    Hi all,
    On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document in INDD format created from Mac. Error received "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by other application". I am currently using Adobe Indesign CC 9.2 Trial version.
    Kindly advise how can i open this document on windows platform and allows me to edit the document.
    Thanks!
    With Rgds,
    Fiona Choy

    Normally there is no problem to open any INDD opening on Windows, when created on the Mac.
    But Mac user are often not aware on the naming limitations. A file name must not contain /, \, |, :
    It should not contain any extended character, it is not a primary problem but will be, if something links to that file, so avoid also: ÄÖÜäöüß+&
    You can use all other non A-Z a-z, 0-9 and - and  _
    I personally would also recommend to avoid spaces.
    This is valid for the INDD file itself but also for all linked content.
