Installed the new version itunes 10.3 and I got an error at the opening !

I just installed the new 10.3 something of itunes and I got the error message "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked. It's located on a locked HD or you don't have sufficient priviledge to write for that file".
I then click on the OK button. Now Itunes asks me to select a library or create a new one !? I try select my library located on Network HD (as always since years now) and I got the same error message again.
Would it be possible ITunes locked my library because I canceled a sync right in the middle of it ? Is there anyway to unlock that thing ? Without losing any songs or apps ?
Many thanks !

My hotmail account isn't working so they advised me to upgrade my Firefox which I tried to do but the new version wouldn't download and I got a "corrupt file" message.

I tried to upgrade to a newer Firefox system because Hotmail told me they no longer supported my Firefox, but when I tried to upgrade, following the download, I got a message that said "corrupt file."

If your OSX version is 10.3.9 or older you have the latest version of Firefox (version 2.0.0.20) available for your OS. To upgrade to a newer version of Firefox, you will need to upgrade your operating system to OSX 10.4 or newer.
Your versions of Shockwave Flash (aka Adobe Flash or FlashPlayer) and Macromedia Shockwave for Director (aka Shockwave Player) are both <u>'''way out-of-date'''</u> and probably contain security risks.

Downloaded new version itunes 10.5. and i cant get itunes store or update my iphone,Tried Run

I have same problem as most people but answers i see don't resolve my problem !
I updated to itunes 10.5, now can't get into store or can't update my iphone, i just get blank page now and then it will say you my not be connectd to net when i am.
Ran diagnostics check and results came back all verified except last one 'Secure link to itunes store failed'.
Checked my firewall itunes isn't blocked even stopped my antivirus and firewall applications from running but still wil not connect.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated as spent many hours searching itunes troubleshooting with no luck !!!

10.4.11 is "up2date" for THAT OS. It is only old and can not run todays itunes, that is all.
Like already answered here you need a complete new system to run itunes current. Leopard 10.5.8 will work, but do not count on its itunes next support. Leo is halfway dead.
So to to be on the safe side for the future go with nothing low as Snowleopard 10.6.8 and if the machine can take it, you might want to upgrade that immediately after to Lion 10.7.1 which is the most "up2date" version. lion can only be installed from within Snow, even if you buy it as usb thumdrive instead of purchasing from appstore (which is not available before OS 10.6.6 ).
Apple usually only supports the current OSX and its former version for their apps like itunes and safari updates = 10.6 now and for some time , 10.7 now and until 10.8 cometh out one day .. the days of 10.5 however are almost gone. and 10.4 is long dead.
10.5.x was available for PowerPC ( old "G4/G5", all unsupported hardware as of now ) and Intel ( any ) ; 10.6.x is INTEL only ( any Intel ) , and 10.7.x is INTEL 64bit only ( core2duo minimum )

I have tried to just install the new version of itunes from the apple website, it looks like it downloads but after 5 minutes at the end of the install it says 'old version of itunes cannot be uninstalled, please contact support.'?
Is there anyway I can remove the version of itunes from my computer? i dont mind if i lose the music/content I already have on my itunes. I need to do this as i have just received the iphone 4 and need to install the newest version of itunes.
Many thanks

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've 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".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

I found information on how to transfer my itunes library to a new computer. I am going to use an external hard drive for this to transfer my itunes folder to the new computer.

My question is this. When I do this, will itunes have all my album artwork for all my library? My library has a lot of my own music and I have spent quite a bit of time copying album artwork that itunes did not add. I am really hoping I don't have to do this again!
Thanks for your help!

It's best to start with figuring out your eMac model and OS in order to answer the question. This article will help you determine your model:
How to locate the serial number and identify your model
And to get the version of Mac OS that's installed:
From the Apple Menu at the left end of your menu bar, select "About this Mac..."
In the resulting Window, you can see the Mac OS version just under the big "Mac OS X":
If the eMac is older and you have never upgraded the system software, it's possible that your OS version is too old to run the current iTunes. The current version requires OS 10.5 (Leopard)or higher, which is a pay-for system upgrade.

I had this, and after a large number of fruitless attempts, I had to reload Windows, which solved it. This was of course a real pain, but I had to do it since updating iTunes was necessary in order to get the new iOS version. But before doing such a drastic thing, you could try to restore Windows to a previous point in time by picking a restore point. This of course presumes that you really have some issues with your Windows (which I had) and that you can make a decent guess on when the system was ok (which I couldn't), i.e that you can decide a good date to restore to.

TS1717 i tried to install a new version of iTunes on my PC (Vista) and it wouldn't install. Today, I was looking for my iTunes, and somehow it was erased form my computer, along with about $130.00 worth of songs. Wha Happened? How can I get it all back

has anyone ever had their apple ipod disappear from the computer? Mine did when I tried to install a newer version on my pC (vista), yesterday. Now I can't even see any apple icons on the screen or any other reference to my ipod tunes. I have had them on the computer for more than 6-years, and have spent a sizeable sum with apple buying iTunes. Help!

One more note. All my music on my iPhone was erased when I clicked on "Transfer Music from iPhone". I mistook the "from" for "to". I want the music to go from the PC to the iPhone, not the other way around. I've sync'ed many times since the latest version of iTunes, so I know that doesn't work.

I installed a new version of iTunes and now...

I installed a new version of iTunes and now it doesn't recognize my phone. The phone software is up to date and working normally, but I would like to sync my phone and can't. Every time I plug my phone into the computer, which worked fine before the new iTunes software, my phone asks me "Do you trust this computer?" I have restarted my computer, and that didn't help. Also my computer will not recognize my phone, to download pics, after I've activated iTunes.
Thanks for the help!

I have just just installed a new version of itunes. When i tried to run the new version it came up with the message "The file ituneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by newer version of itunes.
I installed the new version because itunes had not recognised my ipod nano 5G, and told me to reinstall. Itunes selected which version to install, so I don't understand what is going on. To add insult to injury it installed a pile of malware which I am still trying to get rid off.
Any advice would be helpful

TS1702 I have installed a new version of an APP (mViewer). This app allows me to view security cameras in my office when I'm away. I've tried istalling it several times, put in all the information, including passwords and cannot get it to work.?

I have installed a new version of an APP (mViewer). This app allows me to view security cameras in my office from anywhere. I've tried installing several times, put in all the information, including passwords, but cannot get it to work either on my iPhone or iPad. Is anyone familiar with this app? Thank you.

I don't know this app, but I did look it up in the iTunes Store, thinking I would suggest you could visit the developer's (vendor's) site and seek assistance there.
But when I found the app and went to the vendor's site, I found garbage (nothing useful).
Oh well.

I have a MacBook Pro 5,4 running OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. A website i like has a known bug with 5.1.10 and recommends I install a newer version of Safari or use Firefox or Chrome. Just looking for advice on the best approach. Thanks!

Unfortunately, Safari cannot be updated past 5.1.10 on a Mac running v10.6.8.
So, the options are to upgrade to a newer OS X or use Firefox or Chrome.

If so, you can download and install Mavericks for free from the App Store.

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:

Hi, glad that worked for you. Also thanks for the explanation as how you came about this. Yes, from my understanding any Install of the CS5, even a trial version Installs the 10.1 (beta/prerelease) versions. It is not clear to me or others why the 10.1 was used in the CS5 instead of the latest version (10.0.45.2). My only guess is that the 10.1 is very close to being released as a shipping version (final release) to the public. The 10.1 had a target date of the first half of 2010. Perhaps that was the reasoning. This is just my opinion:-)
As I said, many users are having this problem, not just with the CS5, but they Install the 10.1 thinking that will solve whatever problem they may be having with the latest version.
Your thread is very helpful for other users that may be having the exact problem that you were. For this reason if you marked your thread as answered, they would read it first.
Thanks,
