ITunes Can't save library error -50

I've been getting this error message for a couple of days now. How do I get it to start saving the library again?

There's a little known trick you can perform to restore your iTunes library from the XML file. On the Mac, go to ~/Music/iTunes. There you will see two files named iTunes Library (ITL and XML). Delete these files and launch iTunes. iTunes will create new library files with proper permissions. Now, replace the XML file with your backup. Open the ITL file in a text editor, such as BBEdit, select all, delete, and save. You could also try replacing the ITL file with an empty text document but I'm not sure this would have the right file permissions. Now you should have your backed up XML library file and a 0 KB ITL file. Launch iTunes. It will start importing the data from your XML file and restore the library. Unfortunately, your view settings will be reset because this information is kept only in the ITL file.
Hopefully an Apple engineer will have a simpler fix for the file permissions problem but if not, this should help you upgrade to 7.3. I'm trying it right now on my library.

  • Can't save library error -54

    This error has just started to pop up all the time. What library is it referring to? Where is it stored?
    In my iTunes folder I see both iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml.
    Also under file menu I see Library export, so I quickly exported the file.
    I am still using iTunes 10.7, Mountain Lion 10.8.2, an external drive for my iTunes media.
    The search results here show errors of -50, not -54

    I do not have the media on an external drive. I forgot that I moved it to the same drive the system is on.

  • ITunes 7.3 can't save library (Unknown error -50) ?????????????

    So ever since i update to 7.3 my itunes is totally screwed up. it always says this when i reopen it: "iTunes 7.3 can't save library (Unknown error -50)"
    not only do i have to redo whatever changes i make to my itunes but it lost a song i recently purchased because it "cant save" my itunes library. this is so frustrating. is there going to be a 7.3.1 coming out anytime soon to fix this problem because i know I'm not the only one who has it!!

    So ever since i update to 7.3 my itunes is totally screwed up. it always says this when i reopen it: "iTunes 7.3 can't save library (Unknown error -50)"
    If you're getting that one on iTunes 7.3.0.54, try an upgrade to iTunes 7.3.1.3. (Note that Michael, who replied to you earlier in the thread, is reporting that here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4923385#4923385 )
    Here's a link to the new installer:

  • ITunes can't save changes in Windows 7 64-bit

    I've got the latest version of iTunes (9.1.11.1) running on Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit edition. Since I installed it and imported all my music and old database files (to preserve my playlists) I keep getting an error message that iTunes can't save the changes to iTunes because it doesn't have the rights to write to the "C" drive. Is there some permission I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Make sure your windows permissions are correct.
    Go into Windows Explorer. Find this folder
    C:\users\ username \My Music\iTunes
    Right-click > Properties, and go to the Security tab. Make sure your userID has _full control_ and ownership over that entire itunes folder, and all its /child/subfolders.
    You'll have to restart itunes so it will read the new permission settings.
    This link has some screenshots of what I'm talking about.

  • Can't save image, error message ???

    Hi, I'm trying to save a pdf image in photoshop, as I always do, hitting command S, or going to file-save. I keep getting an error message saying "could not save "x" file because the file is already in use or was left open". Well duh, of course it's in use, I'm working on it.
    Anybody know what's going on here? Am I missing something?
    Thanks!!
    Eric

    Thank you! I'll give it a try!

  • I get message:can't save library file not enough access privileges.Don't understand what this means?

    I get message:"Can't save library file.  Not enough access privileges" .Don't understand what this means. No visible effect that I can see now.

    Classic example of why you should save your workm in progress...just hit Ctrl+s to do it on the fly.
    Yes I know. But it is the first time I work with Photoshop on such a big project and I thought it would be more stable.. Do the newer versions manage the memory better ?
    You can shrink your image down which will make it smaller enough to save
    Not enough memory to resize the image. And in the manipulation, it would corrupt some of my layers..
    you can try to save as a diffeent format
    I could succesfully save in Bitmap format. But I lose all my layers info..
    The making loads of screen shots would be good if it wasnt really an
    option seeing as it would use even more memory to do that then put the
    image together out of the screen shots.
    I made screen shots without any problem. I saved them through MS Paint without any memory problem, while Photoshop in parallel was just used as a static image for snapping...

  • Error message: iTunes can't save to hard disk because disk not attached. (but it is)  Does this indicate a real problem?

    iTunes regularly post an error message saying it can't save to the internal hard disk because the disk is not attached, even though the disk seems to be functioning normally.  Do these error messages indicate that there is a real problem with either iTunes or the disk?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Itunes cannot save library error -50

    This error has been occurring for at least 2 years. I don't see anything in the community that has ever fixed this and I am now slowly moving to Spotify. I have over 400k songs and this itunes error continues to pop up any time that I search, go to the itunes store, make a playlist, add music... pretty much when I do anything. It is extremely frustrating. If I shut itunes down immediately after the error occurs, my changes will sometimes be saved. This happens about 50% of the time and takes approximately 27 seconds for the saving itunes library window to pop up. The rest of the time any changes are lost.
    Info:
    I run Itunes as admin
    Library itl and xml files are NOT read only
    When I clear the itunes store cache and reset warnings it lock up itunes and I have to kill it with Windows task manager
    Any help that you can provide will be appreciated

    Thanks Pedro,
    I have seen this article. Since the error occurs mostly when I am just in itunes adding music or listening, I didn't do any of the things that were mentioned. This time I shut off Windows Firewall and Turned Off Norton Anti Virus. The problem still occurred.
    I have a workaround for adding files that is working sort of:
    When adding files they must finish adding in under 1 minute.
    At 1:04 to 1:43 the -50 error occurs. If I close the error and then close itunes immediately, 25-27 seconds later it will save the changes.
    I then reopen itunes and have access with my updated library until the error occurs again.
    Going to the itunes store then coming back to the library whether I buy anything or not will generate an error. I buy my digital music from Amazon now because of this.
    I don't think that this problem will ever be fixed until Apple dedicates the necessary resources to fix this. It is a pervavsive issue that has been going on for years.

  • Can't save library files

    iTunes is giving me an error message that reads something like: "Can't save iTunes library file. An unknown error has occurred: -48."
    What does this mean? What should I do? I had backed up my iTunes files this morning--copied them over to a portable HD; but I didn't change, move or alter the files.

    I'm having this problem too. Did you ever get a solution?

  • Damaged Library Files/ itunes unable to save library file

    I would really appreciate it if somebody would take the time to read this and help if possible. We have 4 Ipods in my family and all of us are experiencing this problem with our libraries, so you can imagine the frustration.
    I get this error message every times I open itunes:
    1st: This appears: "Importing I-Tunes Library.xml....."
    2nd :"The file ITuneslibrary.itl does not appear to be a valid ITunes library file. ITunes has attempted to recover your ITunes library and renamed this file to "ITunes Library (damaged).itl"
    When Itunes opens there are no songs in my library.
    I can rebuild my library and all my playlists but it continues to happen on subsequent openings of the program and it will attach a number after the (damaged).....and will just add on numerically each time I get the error.
    Once I rebuild the library and playlists, a process that takes hours, I get this
    error while in itunes:
    "The itunes library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-1450)"
    Thus, I am continually starting completely over with my library, playlists, etc every time I connect my ipod or go into itunes. I have tired removing itunes and reinstalling the program but the same errors occur. This has been happening for several months. I have seen numerous posts on this topic but nobody every answers. We have 4 Ipods in my family and all of us are experiencing this, so you can imagine the frustrtation. Can anybody help?
    Thanks

    Look man, I've had a personal experience with this error myself, and I know how frustrating this is. I have found a very probable solution, so this is my post from another thread that should hopefully solve your problem. Believe me, I know first hand what this error does. Here it is....
    "I may have found a solution for some of you and possibly me for this problem. I found this article while searching google and it seemed to make perfect sense. It's an issue with memory or virtual memory. Cuz this "error" seemed to appear after I had nearly 2000 songs in my library. I don't think it had enough memory to save the library because it was way to big.
    Here's the article: http://sonnoprofondo.net/tech/2006/41 I'm pretty that's the only problem causing this error. Good luck!"
    *Let me know if this was your solution*. I just know first hand what this is entails and how I've spent many nights trying to get rid of it. Now, I'm trying to help anyone I can because I don't want other people to go through what I had to. Best of luck!!!
    *Here's a thread that may also be of help from this forum.*
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5914750#5914750
    Btw, this isn't guranteed to work, but it has fortunately worked for me. It seems to be an error specifically with windows for some reason. itunes has worked flawlessly for me now for about 3 weeks and I am very happy. If it doesn't work let me know and i'll see if I have any more suggestions. Again, good luck!!

  • TS3694 Why is my i-tunes freezing up and is accompanied by a message "Saying Itunes can't save anything due to lack of memory and my system is equiped with 16gb?

    I Have always used Itunes for my music and for reasons beyond me Itunes has been freezing up and lately it has bringing a mate that reseambles a normal Windows error message but it's telling me that Itunes has to close and the program can't save anything due to lack of memory ? So I updated the program to Version 10.6 last night and while downloading songs and album artwork Today it froze up an brought his mate the message back. And Yet my Laptop is as tooled up as well as a bovver boy on his way to a riot With 16gb of ddr3 plus 2 x Nvidia Gtx 580m's In Sli. So by rights any type of multimedia should run as smooth as silk and i never thought i would have a program make use of 16gb of ram all by itself. So if anybody has been through it an come out on top instead of passing Itunes over for another program and can give any advice or a hint would be much Appreciated... Thanks to Anybody listening....

    Becasue something got corrupted on the iPod. It happens sometimes. Just restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod and then try restoring from your backup.

  • ITunes can't locate library on external hard-drive

    I have had my iTunes library in a folder on an external E hard drive for some time, and it worked fine.
    After I downloaded the latest version of iTunes - in response to a prompt from Apple - it now can't locate any of the tracks. The library is still displayed in full in the iTunes screen, but each track has an exclamation mark next to it, and if I try to play a track, iTunes tells me I have to locate it manually. If I locate a track manually, it plays, but that's obviously not ideal. Also, it won't sync my iPod, but just tells me that the named tracks can't be found.
    I looked in the `iTunes music' folder in `My Music' on the C drive, and it has a handful of tracks in it. Those tracks play in iTunes as normal.
    Going via Edit-Preferences-Advanced, the `iTunes media folder location' is set as the folder in my E-drive which contains my music library. I had understood that that was all I needed to do in order to enable iTunes to find my library, but I guess there must be another step I've missed.
    I suspect that I should be using File-Add Folder to Library, but I'm not sure what the result will be if I do this. Will it copy the files from my E drive onto my C drive (and swallow up all the memory space on my laptop)? Will it duplicate all the tracks in the iTunes display so I have two versions of each track - one with an exclamation mark and one without? Should I delete all the tracks from iTunes before adding the folder?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Have you assigned E: to the exHD permanently? Because Windows can change USB drive letters on you, if you don't assign them.

    That is the most common reason for itunes suddenly unable to find files.

  • ITunes stopped working,C++ library error, removed iTunes, now iTunes wont download

    Have been using iTunes for years on laptop with windows vista (32 bit).  recently started getting itunes errors such as C++ runtime library error and  R6034 error.  Itunes stopped working.  Read the boards, I deleted itunes and other products from the trouble shooting directions (e.g., bonjour, mobile me etc), and tried to download itunes again.  now itunes wont download (I have 20 MB/140MB available memory).  stuck at this point - Itunes not on laptop, but cant download new itunes.....

    Sorry for the delay.  Tried running the fixit program (1 time via internet explorer, 1 time via firefox), the firefox attempt downloaded the fixit program, but when trying to run it I get a pop up window that indicates that the troubleshooter is not available and that the fixit program is invalid or has expired and a new website is given for the new program (same happened with the internet exploere attempt- it directed me to the same window and to the same website)......the website is:
    http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/
    there are several buttons to choose from and reviewed them- I found the uninstall fix that you described in the windows button.  I tried to download and run the fix from both internet explorer and firefox, however after downloading, when i run the program I eventually get the same window that says that the troubleshooter is not available......

  • How can i save the error message?

    In the execution of the integration process, and i get

    <b>Now what i want is to save this message.</b>
    <b>How can i save this message?</b>
    Thank you for your advise and reading

    Hi,
       An exception name is just any string, like, "timeout"
    You usually have a control step, which waits for somethime (say a minute) and then transfers the control to exception handler, who handles the exception.
    <i>but i dont know from where i get the exception?</i>
    It not required for us to know from where the exception is raised as long as you have created an exception handler.
    The integration process, will search for the required exception handler and execute it. Make sure, that the exception handler is in one of the branches of the block.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Smitha.
