How to fixed locked disk and written permission

Who has an idea how to fixed itunes folder locked disk and written permission.

Hi Tony T1
I believe I have the same problem? This external disk I'm locked out from contains my Time Machine backups
At this point, I'm not 100% sure what's going on? - as I've been battling this off/on for a good while!
Besides my flailing, I tried:
accessing as a network disk, using another machine w/ Lion and Mountain Lion, calling Apple's tech support, visiting the local Apple Store, Running Disk Warrior, startup with "option" a few million times. Also startup with /cmd + r/ . Its been so long I can't remember : Oh, login as root didn't get me very far?
I tried the fix you described, and was able to remove the recovery partition from the external USB.
As per Robert's post, since I was still locked, I repartitioned the external HD -- yet the repartitioning failed?
"Couldn't modify partition map because file system verification failed"
(No rush, as I've been getting my ***-kicked since September, but I'd be happy to hear any advice you may be able to impart)
Thank you kindly.

I can't launch itunes says it's on a locked disk and I don't have write permission for the folder,how do I fix this?

I can't launch itunes on PC it says it's on a locked disk and that I don't have write permissions for the folder.So how would I go about fixing this,any information would be helpfull.Cuz' I wanna transfer stuff from my PC to my Ipad and understand You have to go through itunes to do that.

The path C:/documents and setting/...iTunes.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Re: iTunes has stopped working. Why?

Resolved!
After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
And that did the trick.

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

Itunes won't open because of locked disk and is unwriteable

I just had my mac refomatted and since then I cannot get into my itunes. I reinstalled it but it is saying "the folder is on a locked disk or I dont have write permissions."
Help?

I tried manually moving the folder over to the C drive, but iTunes automatically recreates the folder on the networked drive when I try to open it.
Okay. Try instead creating a new library on your C drive, using the instructions in the following document:

How to fix the mouse and keyboard freezing when installing Windows 7 on 27' iMac late 2013?

Hi, I have a question for u guys who can solve this.
I recently bought the new 27' iMac late 2013, and I installed some softwares and used it for few days.
Before I bought this I used the 15' Macbook Pro Retina, I installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and I used the Windows for gaming.
So back to my question.
So I bought the new iMac and I was tying to install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (with the same CD).
After dividing the partition, and other stuff, the iMac rebooted and I hold down the option (alt) key. I choose the Windows CD, and it said it is "getting ready to install Windows". I let it load, and the blue screen where you choose the language, time/location and keyboard input popped up. At the bottom right corner (at the same page), there is a button that said "Next (N)" which u need to click it to go to the next step. I was moving my mouse to click the button, but I realized that my mouse and keyboard was frozen. I tried both wireless and wired mouse and keyboard but they didn't work. There was nothing I could do. I hold the power button, (that was the only option) and tried my mouse and keyboard on Mac OS and it worked fine.
I thought something went wrong in the CD so I bought the Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. The result was same. It frizzed again. (I just wast few hundred $)
Latter my friend lend me his Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. I tried it, and it worked, it didn't freezed on Windows 8.
The problem is I played Battlefield 4, Titan fall, and Watch Dogs, and Battlefield 4 multiplayer doesn't work on Windows 8.1. Even though when it works on Windows 8, I prefer using Windows 7.
Dose anyone knows how to fix this freezing thing?
My computer is:
27' iMac late 2013 (bought it just few days ago)
I did no upgrades when I bought it, except the graphic card.
I bought the iMac in Korean Apple Store, and my Windows CD is in Korean, can that be a problem?
Please leave a comment when u think u can solve my problem.

See -> http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf.
In addition to the Windows disc (or USB flash drive with the Windows installer) you'll need a 8GB+ flash drive.
The referenced manual - on page 3, I think, gives you a run-down of what you'll need before you begin the installation. You may also want to post any further Boot Camp questions in the Boot Camp forum -> https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.
Good luck,

How to fix continued crashes and hangs of iPhone, iTunes and iPhoto.

PROBLEM
I started to suffer these immediate problems when getting iPhone:
1. When the iPhone is connected to the computer, iTunes would hang, and also iPhoto would hang.
2. Both would need to be restarted from the opt-apple-esc key option.
3. When iTunes was re-started, it would not "see" the iPhone, or even if it "saw" the iPhone, it would refuse to sync. This refusal was either from (a) an error reporting a connection error, or (b) the process of synch would hang.
4. iPhoto about 1/2 of the time would not properly import photos.
DIAGNOSIS
After trial and error, I came to the following conclusions:
a/ Part of the problem involved the USB connector on my laptop. It was not connecting 100%, so by jiggling it and making sure it was clean, the connection errors started to decrease some, (but did not go away).
b/ By pulling up the Process Monitor, I noticed that the CPU was becoming overloaded each time the iTunes and iPhoto applications crashed. (I have an older machine, a PowerBook g4 17" with 1GHz CPU, 2 GB RAM.
HOW TO FIX PROBLEM
The following worked for me:
1/ For iPhoto, change the settings so that it does NOT automatically launch when the iPhone is plugged in. This is done with iPhoto>Preferences>General: "Connection Camera Opens" > No Application. You can still use iPhoto with your iPhone, but it will not automatically launch when the iPhone is plugged in. This will stop the hanging. [at least it did for me]
2/ For iTunes, disable the option to "sync when plugged in" iTunes>Preferences>Syncing> check the box "disable automatic syncing".
The effect of these actions is to disable the complex chain of events that occurs when the iPhone is plugged in. I believe my CPU just can not handle them. So once they are disabled, there is no problem doing this manually. iPhoto does not launch, even if you have not photographs to upload, and iTunes does not try to launch and sync all in one giant transaction. You simply click the "sync" button when you wish to sync.
My suggestion is that if you have an older mac, check to see if the CPU is getting overwhelmed. If it is, then these setting might help you. For me, after they were put in place, I've not had quite as many problems. About 1/2 the time, iTunes will not sync, but this is easily fixed by simply quitting and restarting iTunes. That seems to work most of the time.

HT1782 How to reformat the disk and restore from backup

DISk utility found errors that could not be repaired. The instruction said to back up all files and then restore with backup. How do I do this? Will the restore also restore the errors?

Backup all you data using Time Machine or a clone program. Boot into the Recovery Mode (command - R during a restart), erase the disk and reformat it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). From the Options button, choose GUID. The restore may or may not restore the errors, depending on what caused the errors.

How to fix the windows and nano connection

I recieved my ipod nano and for 2 glorious days it worked. Then my pc could no longer detect it, it just said "malfunctioned usb device" and didnot appear in itunes. The Nano just has the menu as opposed to the "DO NOT DISCONNECT" screen
After a long and arduous day i managed to fix the problem.
By clicking on this link http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651 it tells you how to fix it.
i just did this - (with the ipod connected to the pc)
1) turn hold on, and then off,
2)then press menu and the center select button simultaiously for 6 seconds
3)the apple logo appears
4)then it goes back to the menu briefly, and then goes to the "DO NOT DISCONNECT" screen
5)open itunes, wait a minute and your nano will appear
Wahooooo!
hope this helps everyone!
Ben

Weird.
Yeah, that seems to work.
I learned this after I railed about how defective the nonos were in the Apple groups.
Oops.
This seems to happen when the PC shuts down (as we told it it should re: power options) AND the nano is still plugged in.
I'm not cool enough to say: "My bad", but it was certainly my error.
I think that's what happened; I could be wrong

Why when i finish to create apple id done after that i go to install some program on app store i cant do that have error cloud not sign ..how to fix this problem and what happen

how to fix this problem i cant install program from app store ,,,show error in cloud not sing in what this mean

Leigh...
but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.
Plants vs. Zombies, and that is all for additional software on here
FYI: Some third party software can cause issues with the App Store > Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
