.itl file is locked error after installing new build - iTunes won't open

After upgrading to the new build itunes won't open. I receive an error message "The iTunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file." When I check permissions I have full control. I tried uninstalling all apple components - iTunes, Quicktime, apple updater - rebooting and then reinstalling but the same error message comes up when I try to start itunes.

Even after uninstalling the .itl file remained in my itunes music folder. I deleted this file after uninstalling again and then reinstalled and the issue was resolved.

If your problem is only w/iTunes, you really should re-post over in the iTunes for Windows forums instead of the iPod forums.

Hp mini 110 boot disk error after installing new hard drive and system recovery

Need help, HP mini 110 Windows 7 32 bit. using my recovery disks I created i was able to recover to the old 160 gb hard drive. After I installed new 320 Gig drive and used my recovery disks i now get boot disk error. Looks like system was installed on new drive. but will not boot to complete set up.

If you use the recovery disk, your machine will restore to its default factory state. Try to reinstall the 320 GB you have if you want it to get back.

Windows setup error after installing new hard drive

My hard drive failed. After installing the new hard drive and running the recovery disks, I get an error that says windows setup could not configure windows to run on this hardware. The new HD is basically the same as the one originally in my HP Touchsmart
600-1155 PC.

Hi Hpygram,
Please share more details about this issue.
1. What option did you choose when you use the recovery disks?
2. Did you perform the clean installation?
If you meet this error message when you perform the clean installation, please refer to the following KB for more details.
“Windows Setup could not configure Windows on this computer’s hardware” installation error on a Windows 7-based or a Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2466753
• Check if the hard drive you are installing to is an "Advanced Format" disk.
• Check your setuperr.log and setupact.log to see if the error are related to your drivers.

After installing 3.6 FF won't open even in the safe mode, I click on the icon and nothing happens at all

I installed 3.6 and now FF won't open even in the safe mode. I restored my computer setting back to where I was running 3.5.13 but it still doesn't work...some files must have been deleted when I upgraded that weren't put back even when going back to the older version but I have no idea what to look for or what to do even if I find them. Can you please help me?

Using system restore can create problems as well as solving them. I have seen system restore destroy a Firefox setup. The installation may be OK but to be sure perform a clean install
# [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox Uninstall Firefox]
# Delete the Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory Installation directory], default location C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
# Download the latest version from http://www.mozilla.com/ and install it
If Firefox still does not start, try creating a new profile folder. Firefox stores user data in a profile folder, creating a new profile will show if the problem is with the old profile. For how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows creating a new Firefox profile on Windows].
If the new profile works, you can copy selected data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. For details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transferring data to a new profile]. Do not copy the preferences file, and it is best to re-install any add-ons.

Installed Realplayer now iTunes won't open

I wan't to know how to uninstall Realplayer on Power G5. When I try to open iTunes only Realplayer comes up and I don't like it anyway. I tried putting it in the trash as suggested but did no good. HELP please.

Search for "real player" and "realplayer"
/Library/Application Support
/Library/Internet Plug-ins (not sure but worth looking)
~/Library/Preferences
Also, click and do a Get Info on an iTunes file and it will show what the Default Application is to open with. Change All to iTunes.
Repair Permissions from Disk Utility.
Which version of Real? I never use it, have it sitting here though 'cause I don't like it (or Flash, or various other web plug-ins).

[Solved]Error after installing new nvidia driver uninstalling nouveau

Hi,
On seeing that a new nvidia driver is available, I thought I'll give it a try as the older ones kept crashing/rebooting in kde and gnome.
I got nvidia and nvidia-utils from pacman. During that there was a conflicting file with libgl, so I had to remove nouveau and then install nvidia. I got an error saying need to unload module from xserver to install and would be possible on reboot or something similar(dont exactly remember the error)
Then I rebooted and x failed to start with errors ending up with "GdmLocalDisplayFactory: Maximum number of X display failures reached: Check X server log for errors. "
I tried "sudo modprobe nvidia" and it gave me
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6-----/nvidia/nvidia.ko) No such device
I tried looking up these errors and didnt get any proper answer or solution.
On my own attempts I saw I had inserted a module called nouveau in mkinitcpio.conf, I removed that but didnt help either. Read at a few forums and arch-wiki to run "nvidia-xconfig". The command creates a xorg.conf in X11. But on reboot nothing happened, same errors. Later I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both xorg and nvidia in hope something was wrong with the xorg which could get reset with a reinstall but that didnt do it
The new nvidia driver is 275.19
Config:
i7 720QM
8GB DDR3 1333Mhz
Nvidia GTX 260M 1 GB
Its a Alienware m15x.

Read/Write errors after installing SSHD

After installing a Seagate Thin 500GB SSHD into my Late 2008 MacBook Pro, I would get errors after my computer had been asleep for several hours. The error codes end with -50. I thought that limiting the speed of the drive with a jumper would work, but it hasn't.

After upgrading to iTunes 8.0.2, iTunes won't open at all

I used to use iTunes 7.0.4 and recently tried updating to 8.0.2. Once I installed the new upgrade, iTunes won't open! I double click, use the Run feature, etc etc without any luck. I also tried to re-install an earlier version of iTunes but for whatever reason that won't download correctly. I am hesitant to un-install and then re-install for fear of losing my entire library - any suggestions??
Thanks so much in advance!

Had the same problem with the new update. I finally got back to my previous version by using system restore. After the restore I had to go to the "All Programs" list and click on Quicktime and iTunes individually to allow them to re-configure, then had to restart the computer again. After that all's well. My lbrary was intact.
I tried everything to get the newest version to work, including completely uninstalling my current versions of QT and iTunes, then downloading the latest directly from the Apple website, but, after 3 attempts, nothing worked. Guess I'll have to wait for the next update and try again.
By the way, your library is not actually stored in iTunes--it is stored in your Music folder, so you should not lose anything by uninstalling iTunes if you need to.

ITunes won't open after latest OSX update

AFter latest OSX update iTunes won't open. Reinstalled iTunes. Reinstalled OSX update. When I click on icon in applications or in finder nothing happens.

This is what worked for me and others--original post found on this thread: Yosemite slow opening and cannot open itunes
This solved my question by Linc Davis.......
According to multiple reports on this site, Apple Support has given the following instructions to others who had a similar problem. I can't confirm that this procedure works or that it's necessary, but it won't leave you any worse off than you are now.
First, back up all data.
Select the iTunes icon in the Applications folder and open the Info window. Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner to unlock the settings.
In the Sharing & Permissions section, change the Privilege setting for each Name in the list to Read & Write. Close the window. If the settings aren't visible, click the disclosure triangle on the left so that it points down.
You should now be able to drag the iTunes application to the Trash and empty. Your iTunes data won't be affected.
Click the iTunes link at the top of this page, download the installer package and run it.
If iTunes still doesn't launch, or if you can't complete the procedure, reinstall the OS.

ITunes error ".itl file is locked"

For a few days now, when I try to open up iTunes I have been getting an error message
"The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file"
can anyone tell me what this means and if there is a way to fix it? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes a few times on my system. (version 7)

first check to see if the .itl iTunes library file (or one of the folders above it in the folder heirarchy) have been set to "read only".
but if no joy with that, see:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes

Says my library.itl file is locked after upgrade?

hi there.. i am hoping someone can help me, i had to format comp due to virus, so i reinstalled windows (xp home) and installed itunes from the original ipod disk, all went well, imported all my music back into the library and so far so good.. i then upgrade itunes by following prompts set in the program... installs fine, so no prob with mcafee firewall or virus protection, but when i try to open itunes after install i get a message saying:
the itunes music library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.
please help me!! i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes no prob, in itunes 4. something it all works fine, but as soon as i upgrade i am locked out.
thanks in advance!! i would be much appreciative of any tips to help figure this prob out...
pentium4 Windows XP

Your libary.itl probably got locked by McAfee and never got saved properly during the virus incident/debacle.
- Stop itunes
- Delete C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
-Start iTunes
You are totally going to lose all your ratings and other great stuff from your previous iTunes, but I don't know what else would fix it.
When you restart iTunes, it will rebuild your ITL file, since you deleted it.
What are the iTunes library files?
