Itunes disc locked

I've had a MacPro for just over two weeks now and in the last week I've got the "disc locked" error message three times now with iTunes. Also when I shut iTunes down the "saving library" box is there for 10 minutes+ and then I'm advised to force quit - which causes the disc lock message.
Very frustrating experience as, other issues aside, this wasn't a problem I had with iTunes on my PC. My Mac's still in warranty - should I unintall iTunes and reintall it and start the whole library again (I've lost the library once when trying the fix of dragging it to the desktop and copying it back) or should I just take the Mac back to the Apple store and ask them to fix it given hopw long I've had it...

Reset permissions.

Help please - iTunes disc burner or software not found... with full troubleshooting details

In iTunes 11.1.3.8 on my Windows 8 HP Laptop, when trying to "Burn Playlist to Disc", I get the Burn Settings window "E: hp DVD A DS8A9SH", then I select MP3 CD and click "Burn", I unfortunately get the dreaded iTunes "disc burner or software not found...". I think this is the second time this has happened (first time I think a simple reboot fixed it), and I assume because iTunes was updated this issue came back again and I cannot burn MP3 cds anymore because of it!
I've followed all steps outlined in this support article "iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install" (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2308)
Solution 1, no updated firmware was available for dvd drive.
Solution 2, not relevant because those files were not present when I looked for them.
Solution 3, I'm familiar with regedit and did exactly what the step by step instructions told me including rebooting multiple times to completely remove Gear drivers/keys, installing the new Gear driver files with their official setup file "For 32-bit and 64-bit systems:" from http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.php (and gave another reboot just in case) and opened iTunes at the very end of the entire process.
Still getting the dreaded "disc burner or software not found..." error when trying to burn a playlist to a CD. The weird thing is when I click Burn playlist to a CD, I see the DVD drive "E: in the next prompt which asks for Data CD/MP3 CD, Audio CD.
So I clicked on Help > Run Diagnostics, selected "CD/DVD Drive tests" only and clicked "Next".
Window says "To begin the test, please insert a prerecorded audio cd..." so I did that and clicked "Next".
Under "Choose an optical drive to test:", the drop-down menu only shows "[Choose a Drive]", no other options. Under "Optical drive:" it says "No drive chosen for testing.", and I click the "Next" button.
Here are the diagnostics output I got:

I'm extremely confused as to what to do next. I was thinking I should try reinstalling iTunes but I'm not sure that would even work and I'm so paranoid about installing it correctly and referencing the right existing library files that I'd like to see other suggestions first.
Any help from the community or Apple would be tremendously appreciated and I would be glad to do more testing and provide more details. Thanks!

I have updated to a new windows computer, and after transfering itunes library via iphone, the app section of itunes is locked and I cannot access it. How can I fix this?

I have updated to a new windows 7 computer, and after transfering my itunes library via iphone, itunes has locked me out of the app section of my phone. I can not add or remove apps using itunes. Is there a way to fix this? I have authorized, deauthorized, restarted, rebooted, and reset both my computer and iphone. Anyone got any ideas?? Thank you!

The safest way to do this would be to copy your itunes library to an external drive. For the purposes of this excersize the new Laptop would be the external drive
Here is the support article
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751
Then you could erase the iPhone and resync it without losing any content.
If this option is not open to you then this article contains ways to get your content off your iPod

My itunes is locked, how do you unlock it?

I forgot to add the capital letter in my password and tried to many times, now my iTunes is locked. im not in a area where I can call them so how do you unlock your iTunes so that I can start downloading again

If you've disabled your account by typing in the wrong password then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS device that you have by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

ITunes is locked up on the IPad-how do I unlock

ITunes is locked up on the IPad-everything else is fine. How to unlock ITunes.

Quit iTunes and restart your iPad,
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work - reset your iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

This is driving me insane and i have no idea how to fix it. Please help Please Please Please.... there is only so much kenny Rogers i can take. no offence if anybody out there likes Kenny Rogers.

So there is a lock symbol showing in iTunes for your nano? That means it is set for automatic update.
Change your iPod options to manual update and the lock will go away.
