thanks

Hmm... I've never seen a issue exactly like this before personally, but usually you get the "Disk Locked" error when installing iTUnes or adding anything, songs or videos to iTunes folder. go here and follow the instructions http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302398
You may have to uninstall/reinstall iTunes AND quicktime if this does not work. Uninstlling iTunes DOES NOT delete any music, playlist, ratings ect ect

  • When trying to uninstall iTune (because the current install has problems), I get the error message 2324.  What should I do to reinstall the application?

    When trying to uninstall iTune (because the current install has problems; iTune error message states it cannot sync and that I should reinstall the application; also, it fails when I tried to upgrade to the latest release), I get the error message 2324.  What should I do to reinstall the application?

    That installer error is a "Can't open file" error
    It suggest that you may have a corrupt file.
    Try running a disk check
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors
    If it fixes errors try uninstalling iTunes again.
    If that doesn't work, is it possible for find out the name of the problem file, is further information available? Try looking in your Action center - that's on the control panel. Another place is in the Windows Error logs. From the start menu , right click on "Computer" and select manage, then Event viewer.
    If nothing emerges, try a manual uninstall of iTunes and related programs according to this method:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Don't worry if an uninstall fails, that is expected. Go on to the part where you have to delete files (2. Verify iTunes etc completely deleted) . Hopefully you manage to find a file that can't be deleted, that is the one we will need to deal with.

  • Just recently on my IPad I can't update my App. I keep getting the error message "invalid Address" what is going on?

    Just recently on my IPad I can’t update my App. I keep getting the error message “invalid Address” what is going on?

    There are a number of threads about this - it looks like Apple recently updated their address validation. Some people have recorded success by :
    ensuring that their iTunes account address is exactly the same as appears on their credit card bill
    putting something in the second line of the address (including just copying the first line)
    expanding abbreviations e.g. St to Street, Ave to Avenue etc (or conversely abbreviating)
    putting apartment or suite number on the second address line

  • I keep getting the error "Download Error. Press Retry or try again or contact customer suppor.(0)" when clicking on 'Apps' in the Creative Cloud program. Please help!

    Hey all,
    I keep getting this error when trying to use Adobe Creative Cloud. I only downloaded it today and I keep getting this download error. I have tried a few of the other solutions found and none seem to work. Sorry if there is an obvious fix but other solutions haven't worked for me
    I also keep getting this error. "Unable to reach Adobe Servers. Please check your internet connectivity, firewall settings, and then try again."
    Although I have no firewall enabled so...
    Thanks for the help!

    I had this problem with acrobat downloading.  I shut down the computer, restarted and it worked. 

  • "Error downloading purchased music. Disk could not be read or written to.

    I just purchased an album. It downloaded 23 of the 25 tracks until it gave me this error: "There was an error downloading your purchased music. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I double checked my hard drive space and found I had about 1 gig left, which is a small percentage of my harddrive, but plenty of space for a few songs. But, just to be sure, I deleted an old iMovie project to free up another 20 gigs. I restart the iMac and ran iTunes.
    iTunes told me, "The file 'iTunes Library' does not appear to be a valid music library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your music library and renamed this file to 'iTunes library (Damaged).'" I pressed Ok to this message and the next, which asked if I wanted to download the rest of my purchased music. I held out hope that the songs would download -- that the iTunes and wonderously repaired itself.
    Nope. It seems to actually download the songs, but fails to actually write them to disk. I check my permissions for the iTunes Library folder and I have read & write access. Furthermore, I ran Repair Permissions from Disk Utility. Still, no dice.
    So, I thought I'd purchase a second album, just to see if it was the two songs (maybe corrupted). Now, I can't get any songs out of the new album in addition to the original two misfit songs. It seems that whatever happened has no prevented me from downloading and saving anything from the Music Store.
    I am beginning to fear a hard drive failure, though everything else seems not to care (including iMovie 6). Does anyone have any other tips to offer? I'll give anything a try at this point. If worse comes to worse, I'll travel to my local Apple Store Genius Bar and see what they can do.
    Thanks in advance.

    Answered my own question. After I thought I had tried everything, it occurred to me to Verify Disk. Doing so revealed a minor bitmap error. So, using my trusty install disk, I booted my machine to the disk and repaired it.
    After the repair, I started iTunes and was able to download my songs. Unfortunately, my original library file was permanently damaged, so I had to start with a clean one. However, if the worst thing to happen to me in all this is that I have to redefine my playlists, then I'm better off.
    I hope this thread helps someone in the future.

  • HT1660 i am getting the error when importing music CDs.  The Itunes LIbrary File cannot be saved.  There is not enough memory available.  How do i fix this?

    I am getting this error in itunes.  How do i fix it?  I am running Windows Vista on my PC.  It appears to still import the CDs.

    Well, I installed the latest iTunes this AM, works perfectly.  Although for some reason it did lock up after playing a song today.
    Horror stories?  That's a bit overly dramatic.
    No, it isn't.
    The issue you are experiencing is one that has occurred in multiple versions of iTunes, a simple search would have revealed this.
    A simple search was conducted, no one seemed to have an answer.  Do you always adopt such a haughty attitude?  Or was I just lucky.

  • Error downloading purchased music

    Oh my am I getting frustrated! I keep getting this message: There was a problem downloading "Too Little, Too Late(Radio Version)/Too Little Too Late-Single/JoJo".An unknown error has occured (-208).Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again. UM...HELP PLEASE!!
      Windows XP  

    Well when you send off an email, it say it can take UP TO 48 hours (or 2 days). They can reply back to you sooner.
    Like any support center/company you contact, they tell you this to basicly cover themselfs. The number of People contacting for help goes up and down on a daily bases, so when they have high numbers, it'll tale them alittle longer to work thru the..."Crowd".
    THey also say this to cover weekends and holidays at times when there support helpers are off work.

  • When updating iTunes on my MAC, I get the error code (-42408)

    When I try to open iTunes on my MAC it states I need to update. After updating, it closes and when I open again, I get the same updates. When I choose to not update, I get the error code (-42408). What can I do now?

    What is your iTunes version? The error message indicates missing ressources or software conflicts.
    Did you try to downgrade from iTunes version '11 to '10?

  • I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air.  I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message.  I've signed out of iTunes and back in.  I've updated my software.  I have plenty of room for them on the Air.  Help?

    I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air.  I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message.  I've signed out of iTunes and back in.  I've updated my software.  I have plenty of room for them on the Air.  We are taking a long flight this week, and I wanted to have something new to watch.  I've read through lots of threads on this but I can't seem to find a good solution that I haven't tried.
    If I can get them to download them on my iMac computer, can I then transfer them to my iPad?  How is this done?  (Please pardon an older lady's ignorance, and thank you for any assistance!)

  • I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes Version 11.4.1 and still cannot access. I continue to get the Error 7 Windows Error 193 and now I am getting the Apple Mobile Device failed to start. I can't access any of my music I HAVE PURCHASED. What  to do?

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes Version 11.4.1 and still cannot access. I continue to get the Error 7 Windows Error 193 and now I am getting the Apple Mobile Device failed to start. I can't access any of my music I HAVE PURCHASED. What  to do?

    I am getting the same error message - error 7, Windows error 193 running iTunes on a PC Laptop (HP) which has been running iTunes previously for at least 2 years. 
    I followed the Apple support page and uninstalled (in order) all Apple programmes specified, rebooted, then re-installed.  Two additional errors crop up in re-installation, the first one is to do with Apple Mobile Support Device Services.  It seems that this might be rectified by plugging in said devices before finishing the re-install.  The second reads iTunesHelper was not installed correctly please re-install iTunes.  This persists. I cannot uninstall iTunesHelper using the Control Panel, but I can delete it using Windows.  However, after re-installing again, it still won't run and the original error comes back.  I've downloaded and uninstalled 15 times now and this is taking far too long to be acceptable. 

  • I have just purchased 2 songs and I went to sync my Iphone 3G and I get an error 13019.. the iphone "my name" cannot be synced. I have tried.. removing voice memos (I have none) remove all music.. syncs fine.. if I choose to sync music I get the error

    I have just purchased 2 songs and I went to sync my Iphone 3G and I get an error 13019.. the iphone "my name" cannot be synced. I have tried.. removing voice memos (I have none) remove all music.. syncs fine.. if I choose to sync music I get the error help..
    I have tried everything and now I dont have one song in my Iphone since it doesnt want to sync music because I get this error...
    by the way I have tried this
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2830
    and I have tried restoring the iphone...

    I translated..
    El problema -> El itunes me dijo que habían como 12 canciones que tenían mejor calidad. yo decidí intercambiar las canciones que tienen mejor fidelidad en itunes.
    Itunes me pregunto si quería que ponga las canciones que iva a remplazar en “desk top” a lo cual yo respondí que si. El itunes hizo algo.. no puso las canciones viejas en el desk top pero cuando fui a sincronizar recibí el error 13019.
    La solución para los usuarios de Windows.. busca todas las canciones *.m4a que se han modificado en tu compu durante el día del incidente.. toma nota de los nombres de las canciones.
    En itunes busca estas canciones y deselecciona las canciones.. (con suerte veras que las canciones están seleccionadas dos veces.. deselecciona todas las canciones que fueron modificadas en ese día. Al final asegurase que tienes seleccionado la opción de solo sincronizar las canciones que están seleccionadas en tu lista.) y trata de sincronizar con itunes..

    I just updated to itunes 10.3 & iOS 6.1 and I cannot download a song to my library! I get the error "This computer is already associated with an Apple ID. You can download past purchases on the computer with just one apple ID every 90 days. This computer can be used with a different Apple ID in 75 days." WHAT??
    I've never had problems before - my husband and I have used the same library for years.  My daughter also has her own Apple ID... are we going to have trouble with that, too?  Actually we have 4 Apple IDs - somewhere around 8 Apple devices... this is a huge issue for us... HELP

    Just to be clear - I just bought a new song and can't download it into the library because of this error message.

  • I'm running a Windows 7 and I keep getting the error message:Apple Mobile Device failed to start. How do I download iTunes to add music to my new Iphone 5 :c

    I just bought the new Iphone 5 and i cant get itunes to download, I keep getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
    I have no idea what that mean my iPhone connects to my computer and charges and i can import pictures it just iTunes that won't work.
    PLEASE I NEED HELP FROM ANYONE WHO KNOWS ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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
    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.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.
