ITunes 6.0.1.3 suddenly locks up my computer

Running iTunes 6.0.1.3 on XP Pro. iTunes installed without problems. Plays music fine. Works ok but with the two following problems. Some Text that was in .mp3 comment tag has turned to groups of numbers. The other problem is when switching applications. iTunes is in the background. When I switch back to iTunes from another application by clicking in the iTunes button in the Taskbar the computer locks up tight. No Mouse. No keyboard response at ALL.

hi Christopher!
When I switch back to iTunes from another application by clicking in the iTunes button in the Taskbar the computer locks up tight. No Mouse. No keyboard response at ALL.
okay, this might take a while ...
first check to see if you've got any unusual compatibility settings in play:

How can I fix...The iTunes Library Extras.itdb file is locked on a 8.1

I can't open iTunes on a lenovo with a Windows 8.1 operating system. I get the following message...
The iTunes Library Extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.
PLEASE HELP!!

Thanks! I have been having to open iTunes as an administrator for a year - never could find the answer. Now I am trying to link the account to Disney Movie Rewards and I needed it to open under menot administrator. I deleted the Extras file and then also needed to delete the Genius file. Once that was done it opened immediately.

My iPod touch screen says it is disabled. Connect to iTunes. When I connect the device to the computer a window pops up and said that the iPod is locked and I need to enter the passcode on the iPod..... I can't get it to do anything. Any ideas?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Will i be able to listen to music, watch videos and take pictures and sync with itunes without a sim in my locked iphone 5?

Will i be able to listen to music, watch videos and take pictures and sync with itunes without a sim in my locked iphone 5?

You will need a SIM to activate it. There is no way around that. The SIM does not have to be active, but it must be from the correct carrier if the phone is carrier locked. Once activated, it can be removed and used like an iPod touch, but if you ever have to restore or update iOS, you will need the SIM to re-activate it.

I had a new hard drive fitted to my imac and restored it from my time machine back when I try to open itunes I get this message "the itunes library extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file"

I had a new hard drive fitted to my imac and restored it from my time machine back up on an external hard drive when I try to open itunes I get this message "the itunes library extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file"

To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file. Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty. Note that I am running Windows 8. Hope this helps!

You cannot return to previous state. The update re-locked the iPhone
to the original carrier. You must contact the original carrier to see if
they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?
Be advised that if your iPhone had previously been hacked/modified/
jailbroken to work with other than original carrier, it may be impossible
for the original carrier to unlock it properly.

Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

The iTunes Library Extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission

I downloaded iTunes 11.
When I try to open it I get the message "The iTunes Library Extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission"
My boot drive is a SSD.
My iTunes library is stored on the main HD but I have not had this problem before.
I have gone back to the iTunes folder and given full read and write permissions-still no luck. Rebooted
Any thoughts?

I actually was having problems with syncing of my iphone. It was suggested I get rid of this file. I took it from my itunes folder (unsure where it was. I just searched the folder) and put it on my desktop. When I plugged in tmy iPhone, it reappeared and my sync went fine. I am guessing you can do the same

If you didn't back up the phone to iCloud or iTunes (on your computer) BEFORE attempting the update, the data will be lost.
