*.itl files - 27

I have 27 *.itl files. Some of these date back to 2005. How do I rationalize these into one itl file and move on?

This error message can be caused by a probelm in the registry with the entry for My Music.
See this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1866
Sometimes My Music does not show up in TweakUI.
If so, see this POst:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1731188&#
But you may get away with this simple work around. Double click on iTunes Library.itl in the iTunes folder and see if iTunes Opens. This does not fix the underlying registry issue.

    My daughter added more storage to her cloud while i was at work.  When I came home and tried to get onto Itunes I got the message,'library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.  I tried uninstalling Itunes on my computer and reinstalled.  After I tried to get in and the same message came up.  I can get onto Itunes on different computers except one.  Any Ideas?

  • TS1717 unes, i have windows 8, i get the message, "the itunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.  how did this happen, how do i fix this?

    the message"The itun, library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file". i have windows 8. how why did this happen? how do i correct this and prevent another occurance?  I am able to access itunes on my i5, ipad, and my old i4 that i use solely as my ipod now. At the time  problem occurred, i was connected to ext hard drive that hold over 190GB music, to add to my library. I am now unable to add to my library using my laptop.  any advise/help is greatly appreciated!!

    I just had the same problem and was able to fix it after trying a couple of things I found after a search.
    The solution that worked for me:
    Find iTunes folder - it should be in C:\Program FIles (x86) or similar depending on your operating system
    Right click the entire folder (no need to open it) and click properties
    Click the security tab
    Click edit and highlight the user name under which you logged in.
    Click the box next to full in the allow column, which should check everything
    Click apply
    Open iTunes
    This worked for me.

  • How To Fix: "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."

    I can't reopen my iTunes after I have to force quit when it does not respond. I get this message:
    "The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
    I've read to do the solutions. I right clicked on both the iTunes and Music folder and went to info for each. On both the lock at the bottom of the Get Info was locked. All of my users including admin can read and write all files within those folders. They are even a shared folder. I clicked on the lock to unlock it, typed in my admin password, and went to the gear to apply to all files inside. After doing that I keep getting the saved message.
    I tried another way that I've found online to move my ituneslibrary folder to the desktop and then open my iTunes. In theory the iTunes is supposed to ask for where the iTunes library is. Once that is prompted you quit iTunes and drag the iTunes Library folder back to the folder from the desktop and reopen iTunes to apprently solve the problem. However, when I move the iTunes Library file to the desktop and try to reopne iTunes the icon just keeps bouncing and when I right click the application does not respond.
    This problem is only resolved if I restart/shut down my macbook pro which is a 15-inch Core 2 Duo with intel. It will be 5 years old in December. I currently have Lion and the latest iTunes 10.5. This problem started in late December. 

    If you hold down the option key when starting iTunes, it will allow you to select a library or create a new one.
    You can create a new one, and then add all of your iTunes music back in by simply dragging the old iTunes music file onto iTunes.

  • ITunes won't open, I get this message: The iTunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.

    iTunes won't open.
    I get this message: The iTunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.

    This may indicate a corrupt preference file with iTunes trying to open the wrong location. Try holding down shift as you launch iTunes then choose the correct file, normally <User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. See iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.

  • I can't open itunes it's giving an error "The Itunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for file.

    yes itunes will not open it gives me an error that the file itunes library.itl is locked or on a locked disk or i don't have write permission for it.

    Make sure that you have closed all programs that might be using the iTunes library.itl file. I would hit CTRL + ALT + DEL buttons and enter the Task Manager - from there end any unnecessary program running in the background.
    Next try to start iTunes again. If it fails, restart PC, do the same with Task Manager and try to open iTunes again.

  • Itunes won't open - get message that .itl file cannot be found or created

    My HP laptop with windows just crashed, and I'm trying to get everything back to working order. I reloaded itunes and it seemed to be working fine. Then at some point, I went to open it and received the messsage:
    The itunes library .itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "itunes" folder in the "Music" folder.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes several times, to no avail. The program won't open and I continue to get the same error message.

    Check the permissions in that folder and make sure you have full read/WRITE privileges.

  • "Library.itl file cannot be found or created"

    My iTunes 8.0 was working fine and then all of the sudden I get this message whenever I try to open iTunes.
    "The iTune Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder."
    There's a different file path for my music file than the one listed in the above error message but my iTunes won't even open for me to direct it to it.
    Other times, I don't get any error messages. iTunes 8.0 simply doesn't open up.
    Any help would be very appreciated.

  • Error message: iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created

    I just upgraded to iTunes 7.0.2 and it will not launch. The following error appears:
    "The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "MyMusic" folder"
    I have uninstalled, re-installed and tried all the possible solutions on the Troubleshooting section, including repair and nothing works. I have both a Library.itl and a Library.xml file in the following path: C:\Documents and Setting\user\My Documents\My Music\iTunes - not sure what to do next.
    Right now I'd take my old version back if I could figure out how to get it.

    When you get that message, does iTunes give you the option of locating the file? If so, then browse to the file and select it. If you don't get that option, I believe that holding down the shift key (or possibly the control key) when you launch iTunes should cause you to get the option.

  • "The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created."

    I have tried all to suggestions for moving around the old library and this is still the only thing I have gotten from the upgrade, as of yet. The message appears when trying to get into iTunes thu any source; desktop shortcut, thu the start menu, or opening the library directly in the My Music folder.
    The full message reads:
    "The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "My Music" folder."
    I half expected a problem when i was told to upgrade, but I have got no idea how to fix this one. Any help would be great.

    Will iTunes open at all or do you just get the error message and when you click 'ok' the dialog box closes?
    I have successfully restored my library using the iTunes Music Library.xml file, which I figured out by messing around. If you want you can try this; note that it takes a really long time:
    1. With iTunes closed open the My Music>iTunes folder (if for some reason you had iTunes set up to use a different folder look in there). Move the 'iTunes Library.itl' file out of the folder onto your desktop, but don't delete it unless this restore works.
    2. Open iTunes; it should be empty. Go to File>Import. When the box opens you should be in the same iTunes folder; select the 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file.
    3. The library will rebuild itself, which takes a long time (I think it took an hour when I did it and I have about 25GB), but just let it go. Don't stop the process or try to close iTunes while it's doing this. You should eventually get all your songs and playlists back, but I don't remember if playcounts restore this way; you might lose those.
    4. Close iTunes - it should now save the new 'iTunes Library.itl' file. Then try opening iTunes again - hope this will work for you! If it does you can just delete the old 'iTunes Library.itl' file. If it doesn't you can move that old file back to where it was, and you'll be back to where you were before.
    Normally when the iTunes library.itl file gets corrupted you can replace it with an older version from the 'Previous iTunes Library' folder, but it sounds like you've already tried that and it didn't work. If this really is a registry issue I don't know how to fix that - maybe reinstalling iTunes?
    ps - I always export my library before upgrading now, because restoring from that if you have a library problem is a lot faster and it only takes a few extra seconds.

  • Itunes error message - the itunes library.itl file cannot be found or created

    My itunes was working yesterday but today when i open it i get an error message saying "the itunes library.itl file cannot be found or created. the default location for this file in in the itunes folder in the music folder."
    I have tried to reinstall itunes but still getting the same error when clicking on itunes
    Please can you help?

    Hold down the Shift key while trying to launch iTunes. You should see a dialog box asking you to Choose or Create a library. Click "Choose library"
    Browse to the default location of your iTunes Library.itl file:
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Windows 7: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
    ... and doubleclick the file.
    Does your iTunes open for you now?
