HT203163 cannot open itunes due to iTunes Library.itl is locked.  Don't have permission to open

First time using this help site...can anyone help me....I am assuming this is an easy fix....this is a new computer and am just trying to open my I Tunes and make sure my songs have been transferred from my old computer accurately.  Keep getting error message when I try to open I Tunes saying Library is locked and I don't have permission to open.  Thank you ahead of time for any advice you can provide....Terry 
Additional info you might need...??? Purchased program to download my I Tunes from my I Pod through CopyTrans...was able to open I Tunes before I did that...now can't...

Try holding alt or option key when starting iPhoto to choose a new Library.

  • Since I upgraded to Mavericks X, I don't have "permission" to open my photo files in Time Machine.  Other documents seem to work fine.

    Since I upgraded to Mavericks X, I don't have "permission" to open my photo files in Time Machine.  Other documents seem to work fine, and I am the only "administrator".  

    Is the iPhoto library in your home folder, or have you moved it somewhere else?

    You will be able to visit online Order Status to check your order status and track shipments.

  • How do I view pc files migrated to iMac? The folders tell me I don't have permission to open them.

    I used the Migration Assistant tool to copy files from my WindowsXP pc to my new iMac.   This took about 3 hours to complete.
    I finally was able to locate the folders on the iMac, but they all have a red minus sign in the bottom right corner, and when I try to open them, I get a message saying I don't have permission to open the files - even though they are my own files.  Any ideas on how to access my migrated files on my Lion iMac?

    Select a folder, CMD+I, unlock the lock, and change the permissions. Assuming that you're a switcher from the PC world,  see these:

  • I'm trying to add a pdf to my ADE library - it says I don't have permission to do so

    I'm trying to add a pdf book to my ADE library - it says I don't have permission to do so. I previously purchased the book, but have had to rebuild my computer after a failure. How do I recover this, and other epub books?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • You don't have permission to open this file.

    I'm trying to add an Entity Data Model to a Project in Visual Studio 2013.
    When I browse to the file to connect to it says
    "You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the owner or administrator for permission."
    When I go back to SQL Management Studio and check the Server Roles assigned to my user name, I'm listed as a sysadmin.
    I clicked ALL the other server roles for good measure, but this does not help.
    When I installed SQL Server 2012 I created another user on my computer to serve as the SQL Server Services Account for SQL Server Agent and SQL Server Database Engine.
    I notice that this user shows up as the database owner for the database I'm trying to connect to, even though I was logged on using my user name when I created the database.
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't know much about Entity Data Model, but if you get an error about lack of permission for opening a file (what file?), SQL Server is probably not the right place to look for file permissions. SQL Server is about managing data in databases, not
    files in the file system. For file-permission errors, you need to look in Windows. Or try starting Visual Studio with "Run as Administrator".

  • Replacing previous copy stopped with..."don't have permission to open..."

    main acct on macosx is having trouble with safari..new window opens with no browsing space to type only says "untitled"
    So downloaded FF on other accounts of laptop. Now want it on main account so downloaded it but don't know..ca'n t see if one has been downloaded before for this acct....So, when download says "do you want to replace?" Yes___Then reply comes to me that I don't have permission for some.....?.

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions or if you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • I don't have permission to open my own folders

    My hard drive failed and I just got it replaced. Now I can't open my Desktop, Documents, Libraries, Movies and Pictures folders because I "don't have permission to see [their] contents". After using Migration Assistant to pull in my backed-up data I was asked to change my user name and I suspect this is at the root of the problem.

    I did a permission repair booted from the Snow Leopard disk and that appears to have solved the problem – for which many thanks, Barney. However almost half of the items in my Dock have now been replaced by question marks and two have different icons which, upon clicking, become renamed as unknown files (for instance my iChat icon has turned into a Tiff document item. Holding the cursor over it displayed "iChat" but after clicking it linked to a .tif file which lies within Applications > iChat.app > Contents > Resources. With one exception, the remaining apps in the Dock are those which came with the OS. Presumably the answer is to copy the missing apps from Time Machine but how exactly do I go about that?

  • I'm trying to restore music to my iTunes and I get a message that I don't have permission to see the file

    I discovered that when I restored my harddrive a few weeks back, not all of my music in iTunes was restored. Now when I go back to an earlier date in my Time Capsule, I get a message that I don't have permissiom to see the files. What do I need to do to access these files?

    Pondini might have some help for you..
    I think it depends how you restored.

  • Don't have permission to open library

    I updated to FCPX 10.1 and updated my final cut projects. It created a new library folder on my external hard drive. This file on this Toshiba hard drive will not open in FCPX. When i try to open it says "The operation couldn’t be completed. Permission denied".

    It's a while since I used 08, but Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Is there an option there to check and repair Library permissions?

  • "you don't have permission to open this file" when trying to attach in firefox ONLY. Works in other browsers and windows permissions are wide open.

    Only a problem in Firefox. Works in IE and Chrome. I went thru support ideas of checking windows permissions (wide open and the user is the owner), starting firefox in safe mode and uninstalled/reinstalled firefox. Same problem. Any file in My Documents gives the same error, so it is not file related. Any directory under My Documents works the same. I can move files to Desktop and then they attach fine.

    As mentioned in the original post, the user IS the owner and the permissions are WIDE open for the user. I have also tried to disable the anti-virus - no luck. The problem is ONLY happening in Firefox. Chrome and IE work perfect. There is also no problem in Windows. The user can add/remove/edit files in the directory. Right now the solution seems to be to use Chrome. I'm not excited about that, but at this point, the only option.

  • When a PDF file or other file is downloaded it says I don't have permission to open it.

    It doesn't matter what type of file I try to down load off the web with FireFox. Of course I.E. works just fine.

    Press Ctrl+Print Screen. On laptop keyboards it is Ctrl+ Prt Sc keys. Now open MS Paint, click the Edit menu and then click Paste. Save the file and upload here.
