ITunes 10 Won't Launch in All User Accounts

Question

I recently updated to iTunes 10 on a G5 running OS X.5.8. I was distressed that the playlist in my user account was not transferred and I was obliged to import anew my music library with no organized albums. What’s worse, iTunes couldn’t be launched at all in my wife’s user account. An error message reported that the “iTunes folder is on a locked disk and you do not have write permissions for the folder.” I did all that I know to do to OK write permissions for for my wife’s account with no success. Given that my iTunes library was “updated“ for version 10, I could not reinstall a workable earlier version of iTunes. I assume I will have to recreate my playlist, but at the very least, is there a means to launch iTunes in all of our user accounts?
Thanks for any help.

check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
you may also give everyone read & write access.
the important part is to *apply to enclosed items* !
