ITunes doesn't connect to directory

I moved my iTunes library off of my start-up drive and was able to direct my iTunes to the new location. However in my wife's profile and gues profile I receive the following message: The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission for this file.
Here is the drive:
Here is the iTunes folder
How do I get her profile connected to the new location? It keeps going back to the old location which I want to delete to free up space on my start-up drive.
Thanks!

you can try to connect your iphone in a different usb port ,note you may need to rebooth your pc first . if this doesn t work you may want to see if you have the latest itunes update .

I've tried and tried several times to Connect my device to my PC and follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to download the update from Apple. Problem is iTunes doesn't connect to my iPad so that I can update to iOS 5. I don't see the iPad icon when iTunes loads. I have looked in my computer and see the iPad is recognized. Any one else having this problem? This is also happening with my iPod
Thank you, Ripley

I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.

ITunes doesn't connect to the store (no error message, just blank page)

Hi everyone! I'm having troubles with my iTunes for windows XP. It doesn't connect to the music store, it doesn't display any error message and the loading bar stops to a half and then iTunes remains with the blank page, going no further. When I run the diagnostics, it gives me all green dots. So I really don't know what the trouble is... I can only access my accout information and radio stations, nothing more. Can someone help me out please? Thank you very much!

ITunes doesn't load - saying "Directory iTunes doesn't exist" ????

Dear all,
I have reinstalled iTunes 7.xx and get the same error when trying to start iTunes. The error message tells me: Directory "iTunes" doesn't exist in Dir: "Eigene Musik", but it exists. What am I doing wrong ?
Could I please get some help ?
Thanks in advcance.
Best regards,
Manfred

hmmmm. does that message seem like a German version of the following message?
"The folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the Music folder."
if so, the following document is the best place to start:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate procedure from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

ITunes doesn't connect to any IOS device

Regrettably I've installed IOS 8.0.2 on my iPad2 and now it is super slow. I wanted to do a full backup to my computer and then setup as a new device hoping a clean install would make it a little bit better. Unfortunately, I cannot get iTunes to recognize the device. I've gone through everything I can find online, I've uninstalled all of the apple apps and reinstalled twice, followed all of the steps in iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows to no avail. The iPad shows up in Windows, I choose the "Trust this computer" when it connects on the iPad but iTunes doesn't see it at all. I've also tried my iPhone 5 that still has IOS 7 and my son's iPhone6 and none show up. I'm thinking there must be some registry corruption or temp file corruption or something. Anyone have any ideas to try at this point?

Itunes doesn't connect

when i connect to itunes it doesn't display anything

Is iTunes endlessly saying "Accessing iTunes Store"? Or is something a bit different going on?

Ipod touch 4 not seen as a device on Itunes, doesn't connect to each other

This is an ongoing problem, I have been in touch with Apple three times and they can't fix it. Problem, my computer and the Ipod 4 don't see each other. I can't down load music or connect. I have tried connecting with two another computers with success to see what the prob is, I downloaded the apps but when I reconnect to my computer the problem still remains... The ipod and computer don'd see each other, I have turned off firewalls and downloaded Itunes many times and rebooted without success.
Any help would be appreciated

ITunes doesn't connect to remote speakers on my Airport Express?!?

Can you help me solve this technical issue? I have a Linksys wireless router with another device as a wireless repeater (to extend my wireless network). On the other end of this wireless network is my AirPort Express with the AirTunes enabled.
I can ping my AirPort Express from my iMac. But, my iTunes is not successful connecting to the speakers. Can you suggest some remedies for this? Thanks in advance.
James

Thank you for the quick suggestions. Here are the facts:
1) iTunes host are on the same network subnet as the AX. I can see both of them on my router. The iMac which the iTunes is running can ping the AX. In fact, the remote speaker is listed in the popup window that shows the built-in Speaker as "Computer" and the name of the AirTune on the AX.
2) No firewalls between the host and the AX...as far as I know or can tell, all ports are opened within the home network.
3) The AirPort Utility can see the AX and let's me update the configuration without any problem.
4) OS X Firewall on my iMac is set to Allow all incoming connections
Again, I'm stucked and confused because my iMac can find the AX thru the AirPort Utility as well as from the iTunes by listing the AX's speaker in the Remote Speakers list.
Why then it cannot connect to it to play music is very big mystery...help! I really like to play music in my backyard.

ITunes doesn't connect to speakers- no network, just speakers

I have an iMac G5 and bought an AE to play music wirelessly through iTunes. iTunes is v 6.0.1. It has the pull down menu to select "stereo" (my name for the AE network) and there is a full set of bars for signal strength.
When selecting "stereo" from the pull down menu in iTunes, a status window opens up showing it's trying to connect, but it never does. It times out after a minute or so with no error message.
While searching for an answer, it seems most people who have a similar issue are connected to a network. This is not connected to any network, I will only be using it for playing music. I have an AE at home and have had it both music only and connected to my base station for wireless internet and it works perfectly.
Thank you for any help.

Update: Fixed.
Thanks to Apple phone support a Hard Reset (i.e. paper clip- holding the button on the AE for about 5 seconds until the amber light flashed quickly) and subsequent network set up, fixed the problem.
Neither of us thought this would have been the fix since the laptop was sending music fine, but it's working perfectly now.

ITunes doesn't connect via time capsule

Cannot access iTunes store via the time capsule. Internet connectivity fine otherwise. Running OS X Lion.

Hello Frustrated61,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I suggest that we restore the Network defaults from the printer menu.
I have also located a document on when the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. This will give you instructions on how to set a static IP address.
I have also located an Apple document that gives instructions on how to Set up a printer connected to a Time Capsule or AirPort base station.

That sometimes causes connection problems. Try turning it off.

IPhone 5 doesn't connect to iTunes, although I just synchronized my iPhone 3.

I just bought an iPhone 5 and would like to sync with content from iPhone 3. When configurating the iPhone, I chose the option to connect to iTunes. However, it was impossible to click on File/ synchronize iPhone, as it was greyed out!
As I wanted to use it straight off, I had to chose the configuration option "use as new device" (or similar).
How do I sync with iTunes now? It still doesn't connect to my iTunes account.

HT201269 I have an IPhone 4 that turns off.When I plug the phone into a outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. But my phone doesn't connect. I need to backup info to sync to a new iPhone. Is there another way to get the info from the old one?

I have an IPhone 4 that turns off on its own. When I plug the phone into an outlet, it says to connect to iTunes. When i connect my phone to itunes, the screen displays the apple icon and doesn't connect to iTunes. I need to backup info on this phone so I can apply my back up to a new iPhone. Is there any another way i can do this? My older phone will not show it's connected to iTunes. I used iCloud on the phone with problems, but I didn't back up all the info thru iCloud. Is there another way to back up?

Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode. In this case, all data on it is gone. There's nothing to back up.
