    Double check to see that your "itunes music library.itl" (or "iTunes Library.itl") file or the folder it resides in (the ‘iTunes’ folder) is not read-only.
    Using Windows Explorer, right-click on the file (or folder) name, go to Properties.
    If it is read-only, then close iTunes, change it, and reopen iTunes.

  • When I connect my new ipod nano to my laptop (using windows)I get an error message saying "itunes.exe - entry point not found" I cannot access my itunes , or download a new version. Any ideas what to do or what is causing this?

    I have been given a new ipod nano to replace my much loved but old ipod. When I plug it into my laptop to sync it I get an error message stating "itunes.exe - entry point not found. The procedure entry point AVCFAAssetCreateWithByteStreanAndOptions could not be located in the dynamic link library
    AVFoundationCF.dll" I cannot acces my itunes or download a new versiona as this keeps flashing up. Any ideas? Please help, my life is meaningless without my music!!

    Also I now can`t access any of my itunes library and am concerned that if I remove it from my computer I will lose everything as I have no option of accessing and therefore backing anything up. Any ideas?

  • Ipod nano 4GB (error message in itunes)

    I receive an error message when itunes is up and my ipod nano is connected. The error message says: The file or directory\iPod-Control\iTunes\iTunesDB is Corrupt and Unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk Utility. Also, no music can be transferred to my ipod. At times a window pops-up saying: iTunesLibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. I did download the latest version and still dosn't work!
    Can anyone help on the steps to solve this problem?
    Thanks!

    Problem accessing iTunes. Getting error message "The iTunes Library Extras.itdb file is on a locked disk"

    Close iTunes, delete iTunes Library Extras.itdb from your iTunes folder, start iTunes. iTunes should rebuild the file automatically.

  • IPod Nano Error Message (-48)

    I've just got my NEW iPod Nano (Red 4GB) out of the box and when I connected it to iTunes I keep getting the Error Message "Unable to update iPod Bob Error Message (-48)."
    Despite the (-48) Error Message the iPod does seemingly update Songs/Photos etc.
    I have got a 60GB Video iPod and a new Black iPod Nano (8GB) and have no problems with either of them.
    Does anyone know what Error (-48) is????
    Thank you in advance!
    Bob

    I have just got back from the Regent Street Apple Store - the trip took 5 hours (I live way outside of London) and cost £35 in fares (thanks Apple!)
    I met with a guy from the iPod Genius Bar - and there is indeed a "problem" with Error (-48) which Apple are fully aware of. I took my iPod Nano (4GB Red) which DOES have this problem and my iPod Nano (8GB Black) which does not PLUS my iBook so the guys at Apple could see for themselves the problem I am having.
    It seems they are aware of the problem - but could offer NO solution at this time and Apple are definaitely working it! They took data dumps of my iTunes / Mac Configuration etc. and details of both Black and Red iPods (serial numbers etc.)
    They were very helpful - and advised me to keep the Red 4GB and sit tight until the Update/Patch to solve the problem is available from Apple.
    I was one of MANY turning up at the Genius Bar that day with the SAME problem!
    So - there are no quick / sure solutions to this one - I guess we have to wait for Apple to release the fix.

  • Ipod 30gb - error message while converting cds

    So I just got a 30gb Ipod. I tried to rip cds into Itunes, but I was getting error messages saying "Itunes can not convert song". So a friend suggested that it was the computer I was on. Last night I restored my Ipod on my laptop, tried to convert a cd and again I received the same error message. Am I doing something wrong? I called Apple Support and the person basically told me that I couldn't convert the cds..but isn't that what Ipod/Itunes does?

  • When I attempt to sych with I tunes I get the following Error Message.  "Itunes was unable to load data class information from synch services. Reconnect or try again later."  How do I fix this?  This started happening after I updated to the latest version

    When I attmpt to synch my Iphone I get the following error message.  "Itunes was unable to load data class informationfrom synch services.  Reconnect or try again later.  This started after I uddated to the latest version of Itunes. What should I do?

    My iPods are working fine...this is just on our iPhone 3GSs....friend said his iPhone 4 was working fine with upgrade. 
    Tried: the winsock reset, uninstall/re-install of iTunes, shut the firewall down.  Even called Apple...and after 2 hours of being told that "I'm savvy and have done everything they'd recommend" still with no fix...
    Still:  Takes over 2 minutes (not hooked up to phone) to open Edit-Preferences-Device...and can't find any backups?!?!  Takes over 2 minutes to even open the phone to change spps, musice, books, etc....but won't let me do anything with contacts...wonder if this is what that error message is about (because I don't actually sync to an email program, I've just kept it all on the phone - mistake).

  • I have an iPod nano v4 or 5 and when I connect it to my Hyundai Santa Fe I get an iPod loading error message.  The cable came with the car when I purchased it and the dealer was able to get it to work with his newer ipod.  Please advise.

    Hi Bander Bunny!
    I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. You may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes first. This has to be done in a specific manner, and this article can help you do that:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Another option is that you may want to try syncing your iPod nano manually. Here's is an article that pertains to manually managing the content of your iPod nano:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    It's also possible that this issue resides with your iPod nano. Here is a website that will help you troubleshoot the iPod nano:

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • Error Message saying Itunes running safe mode

    Everytime I open Itunes I receive an error message stating Itunes exe. has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older version of windows. For best results turn off compatibility mode before you open it.
    How do I turn of compatibility mode.
    Second question is last night I was updating my Ipod with new music and left it to charge overnight and when I woke up all the music on my ipod was erased and battery was dead. Is this normal or should I be concerned???

  • Error message states iTunes could not connect because paring record is missing, how do I fix?

    Error message states iTunes could not connect because paring record is message is missing, how do I fix?

    Sometimes rebooting your PC can clear this error message.  You might also want to try plugging the iPod into a different USB port as well.
    Others have been able to fix it by unplugging their iPod from their PC, signing out their Apple ID on their iPod Touch, signing back in and reconnecting it.

  • Error message: The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54).

    I opened iTunes and downloaded 2 songs from http://www.reverbnation.com. Shortly after I started getting this error message: The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54). Anyone dealt with this before?

    == Error -54 ==
    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.
