I can't open iTunes from my Mac at all.

I get this error message: "The folder "iTunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have permission for this folder."  I'm very "un-techie" so I don't know what to do next.  I have not done anything different with the Mac, except it did an update earlier in the week.  Should I just reinstall iTunes?  Any help from the community would be so appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:
Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X

    Hi gingerjacker,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Did you restart your Mac and try again?  Sounds simple, but it's a good first step when troubleshooting.
    If the issue persists you may need to delete iTunes from the Applications folder and download a fresh copy.  This does not affect your iTunes library, which is in a different location.

    This is the iTunes for Windows forum and so not the most likely place for you to get help with a Mac issue. Try the iTunes for Mac forum. You'll be more likely to get help there.
    Good luck.

  • I can't open iTunes from iPad 2

    I can't open iTunes from iPad 2 can you help....?

    I can't either! I'm currently connected to Wi-fi but it keeps  saying cannot connect to iTunes store. But safari works just fine. I don't know what's going on, but it's annoying me. Maybe they're updating a server or something? Idk I'm new to iTunes. I hope they fix it, what ever it is.

    Can't open iTunes on my computer. All collapsed, rebouting doesn't help.

    Try removing iTunes, Apple Application Support, and the related Apple software using Control Panel. For a walkthough on the process, check out this Apple document -> Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Then try downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes from here -> Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

  • Can't open iTunes from my desktop!

    I have Windows XP, and when I double click on my iTunes icon, the service agreement comes up for less than 2 secs and then disappears - without taking me to iTunes. I have uninstalled my iPod, iTunes, etc and re-installed wihtout any success. This is very frustrating as it affects all three iPods in our house. If anyone has any solutions - please post them!
    Thx

    wow, if i got a dollar for every post describing this same issue, i could retire.
    I need WAYYYYY MORE info than what you provided.
    I need to know, which Windows OS are you running and which service pack
    I need to know which firewall and antivirus program are you running on your PC?
    In your processes tab, do you SEE itunes AND quicktime and IF you do, does it stay there or flash away after a few seconds?

  • Can not access Hotmail from my mac desktop all of a sudden

    Hello,
    All of a sudden i cannot access hotmail from my desktop. I have recently returned from overseas. I verified my address on another computer in my house as it said it needed to confirm my location. Now i am trying to do same on my desktop and all i am getting is try again later or sign up for a new account. If you could advise that would be greatly appreciated.

    Thankyou so much. I going to log out now and see if i can get back in.

  • How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad, e.g., mp4 files.  Do I have to use iTunes?

    How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way?  I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way?  I have transferred epub books using Dropbox.  Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

    USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
    Connect device to computer/mac
    Select your device in iTunes menu.
    Apps...
    At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
    Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
    Hope that helped.
    In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....
