I keep getting the message ltunes lib file cannot be saved !

Hi Everyone,
I have a problem everytime I plug in my Ipad and open Itunes I get a pop-up message saying that it cannot save my library files  (-50)
When I click ok I can continue but now it keeps comming up, and I am not able to make a backup of my ipad because It cannot save anything.
I have re-installed Itunes many times and also even did a clean sweep of my pc a few days ago so I don't know what the problem is ?
Please help me ?
Jen

AFAIK there was no iMac 5,1. There was however a Macbook 5,1 whose original OS was Mac OS 10.5.5 and so would not install an earlier OS like 10.4. Grey coloured disks won't help you if the disks you are trying are disassociated from the hardware. You will need to go with the retail disks that have the graphic printed on them such as 10.4 or 10.5 shown below.

    Maybe you are doing nothing wrong and the problem is with the disk.
    Use SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner
    to clone your system to an external drive.
    Then boot from your DVD go to Disk Utility and choose your entire drive > top icon in DIsk Utility.
    Go to Erase tab. Choose format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click on erase. Now, install Lion and when you get to setup assistant choose to migrate from your external drive.
    This is slightly different than baltwo described and slighly longer but if there is any corruption on your disk a more through way to go, IMO.
    What baltwo is saying is to clone your volume over to an external hard drive with CCC reformat and clone it back. This will defragment the files and make them all contiguous but will not address any directory problems.
    Your choice. You can do it one way, then the other if it doesn't work out for you.

  • I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

    I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
    If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
    If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

  • How can I download a 18 minute video I recorded from my iPad to either email or youtube or vimeo I keep getting the message the file is too long.

    How can I transfer a 18 minute video I recorded on my iPad camera app to email/youtube or vimeo? I keep getting the message the file is too long do want to send clips?
    Thanks

    Youtube usually had an 8 minute length cap, which may be part of your issue. Also at 18 minutes that is probably a gig+ file size, which will also take a long time to upload and may be another part of the issue.
    Edit it down as jim suggested. Or you may need to use something like dropbox, to get it off your ipad and onto a computer where might have more options to edit it down or size it down.
    If it's just file size you can transcode it into a smaller file - a lower quality MP4 for example. If it's the length that's an issue for youtube, you'll need to break it up into a couple different files and upload part 1 and part 2

    cor-el,
    Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

    I didn't know that iTunes had a 64bit download. I have Windows 7 Home Premium with 64bit operation system. I downloaded the iTunes for 64bit and it seems to have corrected the problem. I haven't received the message yet since I did this.

  • I am trying to download my photos into I photo with my new Nikon S6300 camera and keep getting the message  The file could not be imported the file is unrecognizable format had no problems with my Canon camera

    Trying to download my pictures to IPhoto with my new Nikon S6300 camera keep getting the message the file could not be imported as the file is unreconizable format. I had no problem with my old Canon camera. Please help

    I am having the same problem which has happened very infrequently before. Generally it's one photo and happened when my battery died.
    However today I tried to download six photos.
    None would download including several others for a total of 21 that would not download.
    Since I had just installed a new powered hub and added three new external 4T hard drives, I got concerned that it was the hub. Then got really worried that I'd have problems with the data I have been backing up.
    However following this sequence of events, I've determined it's not the hub, but still don't know what is causing the problem.
    (1) Put a fresh battery in the camera - same results
    (1.5) Used a different port in the new hub - same results
    (2) Put the card in the card slot in the back of my iMac - no problems except that one image I knew about last week. The six new images imported.
    (3) Tried again using the cable - still same error
    (4) Changed cables - my husband has the same camera - still same error
    (4) Put the card in his camera with his cable - still same error
    (5) Put the card in a card reader and used the same slot in the new hub - no problems - same one wouldn't import but message that there are no new photos to import.
    (6) Moved the offending one image to the Trash while the card was in the card reader
    (7) Put the card back into my camera and used my cable. iPhoto had no error and displayed the message there are no new photos.
    Conclusion:
    Not the camera
    Not the cable
    Not the hub
    Must remove bad photo from the card
    However, I have not had to do that before. I went through several imports on vacation when there was one bad image and just ignored it each time.
    Any idea why this is happening now?
    Thank you

    I have a MacBook Pro with all the necessary requirements.

    Here are a few things to try:
    Restart your Modem and Router.
    Reset iTunes Store Cache (iTunes Preferences, Advanced tabl)
    Delete the App Store plists (close App Store first):
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
    To get to these,iIf you still have your user Library hidden, hold down the Option key and select Library from the Go menu in Finder. Otherwise, just go into your home folder, then Library, and then Preferences.

  • I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 to the original settings because it did not sync my contacts from my last phone (it synced from my husband's phone instead).  I keep getting a message saying that files were corrupt so it couldn't restore settings. Ideas?

    I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 to the original settings because it did not sync my contacts from my last phone (it synced from my husband's phone instead).  I am trying to delete everything so I can back it up from my previous phone and not my husband's.  I keep getting a message saying that files were corrupt so it couldn't restore settings. Ideas?

    I tried following the instructions listed in the following thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19512128#19512128
    but have still been unable to backup data using the third party software.
    TouchCopy tells me I have no photos or Video ad won't alllow me to copy any of the critical files e.g. Notes, Calendar, Contacts, Messages, etc.
    Anyone have any other suggestions for backing up my iPhone? Or help using TouchCopy?
    If I am ever able to get TouchCopy to work, should I be using Copy to iTunes or Copy to PC option?
    Thanks!
