How do I unlock iTunes on my MacBook Pro?

My hard drive was replaced this evening. I've put everything from my Time Machine backup back onto my computer. The only thing that seems to be awry is that when I go to open iTunes, I get the message: "The folder iTunes is on a locked disc or you do not have write permissions for this folder."
Anybody know how I can fix this?
Thanks!

         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space

  • How to use two harddrives on one Macbook Pro to store Itunes music

    I have 2 harddrives in my macbook pro and have more music than can be on one drive.   I Know that I can get Itunes to point to either drive but not to both at the same time. Does anyone know how to accomplish using both drives "seamlessly" with one copy of Itunes on one Macbook Pro, please? I do not intend to swap drives. Both would be on at all times.

    I keep mine on multiple internal drives by completely disabling iTunes automatically managing music for me, but if you do that you are also responsible for keeping things organized yourself.  There's various other advantages and disadvantages to doing it that way but it isn't for  people who don't like tinkering with how things work but just want it to  do it for them.
    You can tell iTunes to change where to store media and it will put new media in that location from that point on unless you do a consolidate/organize in which case you're in trouble if it can't put it all together in one place.

    I downloaded a book on iTunes with my MacBook Pro and want to read the book on my computer.  Just can't figure out how to do it.  Do I need a program to read books on the MacBook first or is this something I can get in the app store?

  • How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)?

    How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)?  It reflects my old email address and therefore won't recognize my password.  When I try to do something on the App Store on my iPad, it brings up a notice to sign on, which reflects the old email address, and rejects my password since the username/email address is no longer correct.  Puzzled!

    I have another question for the community.  My daughter tells me that my texts to her show my primary email address as the account name of the sender (me) when I text her, rather than my cell phone number from which I'm texting her.  I've had others report that to me too. How do I turn that off so that recipients see my cell phone number displayed as the sending party and not my email address?  Thanks - 

  • I am having trouble transferring an audiobook purchased through iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my iPad. Does anyone know how to do this?

    I have an audibook that I purchased in iTunes on my MacBook Pro but cannot figure out how to sync it to my iPad. I would like to listen to the audibook on my iPad not MacBook Pro. Please help!!

    Unfortunately, if you are using Safari on the iPad, you can't post a screen shot. You can with other browsers that will identify as a desktop browser, but not with Safari. Safari is so limited on the iPad and ironically, it is the worst browser that you can use on the Apple Support Communities help forum.
    You can post a link to the screen shot if you use Photo Bucket or any cloud based photo site. In any event, if you don't see it in the More Tab, I don't know that the screen shot would help. It certainly wouldn't hurt though.
    Are you sure that you selected the book to sync in iTunes?

  • How do i open a book downloaded from itunes on my macbook pro since it is not a mobile device

    how do i open a book downloaded from itunes on my macbook pro since it is not a mobile device

    Okay i looked them up and YES they are compatible with macs. if it's formatted for windows then no it will not show up on the mac, you need to repartition it on windows or try and see if you can pick it up in Disk Utility on osX. The following link is for this HD but talking about a mac PowerBook, it should be the same for you even if you are using the Intel macs. http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/other-hardware-peripherals/146258-iomega-portab le-hard-drive-not-mounting.html

  • HT1296 An embarrassingly simple question: having backed up my iPhone calendar on iTunes on my MacBook Pro, how can I view tha calendar on my MacBook? Should there be a tab on iTunes?

    An embsarrassingly simple question: having backed up my iPhone calendar on iTunes on my MacBook pro, how can I view the calendar on the MacBook?
    Shoul there be an access tab on my iTunes

    You don't view your calendar, on your Mac, that way. You sync your calendar to your Mac using iCloud, or iTunes. Read here:

  • When I open iTunes on my Macbook Pro, I am now getting a small window that says "Checking iTunes Library" with a pinwheel. This goes on for 5-10 minutes before I am able to access iTunes. Help! How do I fix this?

    When I open iTunes on my Macbook Pro, I am now getting a small window that says "Checking iTunes Library" with a pinwheel. This goes on for 5-10 minutes before I am able to access iTunes. Help! How do I fix this?

    I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
    Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
    No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.
