ITunes won't open - error message

When I try and launch iTunes I get this error message: "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder." I have since unistalled and reinstalled V 11. I have also been given admin rights to my machine. I have given myself full rights to this folder. It still won't open. Now I have unistallaed it again and reinstalled V. 10. Same error message. I ran the compaibility report and it say there is an incompatible device but doesn't say which one. Any ideas? I am on a Windows 7 Fujitsu laptop. I had no problems with it until I upgraded recently to V. 11.
Thanks for any help here.

i just made a movie in iMovie and exported in MP4 format, now it won't open, error message says quicktime can't open the file ***? Anyone?

I have the same problem. I'm using Mavericks OS and latest iMovie. Both downloaded last week. I save the movie into File (as directed) and QuickTime
will not open. I'm then directed to a page of formats which are supposed to be supported on which is .mp4. Any tips?

After installing iTunes 10.3.1 it won't open, error message - "the file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"

new iTunes won't open. Error says cant read iTunes Library.itl becuase it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
I had just installed iTunes 10.3.1 as was instructed by the Genius at the store.

I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes. You make it sound like it was sent to you. At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it. However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible. iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer. So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
Two ways to get the 'newer version' message. One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version. Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers. The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

Itunes won't open error code 5,87

My itunes was working fine, and then I downloaded the latest version of Itunes and it won't open. It keeps saying "Dr. Watson was unable to attach to the process. It is possible that process exited before Dr. Watson could attach to it. Windows 2000 returned error code=5...access is denied"...before it said error code 87...now it says error code 5...I've tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling but it doesn't work! Please help! I desperately want my Itunes back!

okay ... that rules out various problems with DrWatson that i was able to find in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
let's try something aimed at trying to work out what the nature of the itunes problem is (the one that DrWatson is having trouble with).
try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

Itunes won't open - get message that .itl file cannot be found or created

My HP laptop with windows just crashed, and I'm trying to get everything back to working order. I reloaded itunes and it seemed to be working fine. Then at some point, I went to open it and received the messsage:
The itunes library .itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "itunes" folder in the "Music" folder.
I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes several times, to no avail. The program won't open and I continue to get the same error message.

Check the permissions in that folder and make sure you have full read/WRITE privileges.

Project suddenly won't open, error message displayed

Can anyone shed any light on the following error message?
[\Monk\main\common\PremiereShell\Src\PlayerFactory.cpp-379]
I'm half way through a project; all was well when I shut down yesterday, but today the project won't open. The error message offers me a "continue" option, but doing so only opens a "working" dialogue which sits at 0% and does nothing. Audition is otherwise happy, all other projects opening fine, just not the one I need!
Any thoughts anyone?
Thanks
Aidan

"so If I save a back up of my project under the same name...and then the original gets corrupted...then the backup will ALSO not work unless it's been labeled under a different name??"
Well if someone saves a backup under the same name in the same location then clearly it is actually overwritting the original and yes as they are now the same session then if one is corrupt the 'backup' is corrupt.
Clearly this isn't a backup.
But in your situation you are making a backup to a different drive/etc so if the original session file (.ses) gets corrupted no your backup will not be corrupted.
You can try this utility http://www.mediasweeper.com.au/sesbackup.htm its pretty handy for hunting down & backing up all or selected session files.
You can also use this utility http://www.mediasweeper.com.au/ to examine your session files and see the exact path of the files referenced within your session file.
But note that if you make a copy of your session & media (ie the whole folder - lets say on H: drive) and put it on another drive (say E:) if you open the session on the E: drive then (as MediaSweeper will show you) AA will open the session on E: and reference the files on the H: drive but if those files are no longer on the H: drive (ie the original location) then AA will look in the current folder that the session is in.
Its handy to know that otherwise you may think you are working on a backup but you are actually working on the original.
Remember as with all software - Save early and save often!

ITunes won't open, Error 2906

After unsuccessfully attempting to upgrade to version 7.4 of iTunes, I've been without iTunes for a year and FINALLY figured out the problem. For any of you still struggling, follow this link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1875
I also read that trying to open QuickTime first, before iTunes will allow QT to configure itself to iTunes and may also solve the problem.
The above link helped me, it was iTunes that had random compatibility boxes checked and was causing the problem. My iTunes now works and I couldn't be happier! Good luck!

okay, if the DLL it's mentioning has to do with QTInstallCode.QuicktimeUninstallProc, then (given that you're 32-bit) let's try the following procedure. (if it's saying something slightly different, post back to let us know what it does say.)
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next use the QuickTime component of the complete uninstall instructions in the following document as a guide to a manual removal of leftover QuickTime program files and folders.
Trouble installing iPod, iTunes, or QuickTime software in Windows
once we've got all the existing QuickTime scraped away, let's try another careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention itunes 6
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

ITunes won't open - Error 13001

Good day,
Every time I try to open iTunes, I get a message with the Unknown error 13001. I tried to fix it by uninstalling the app and intalling it again, deleting the iTunes Library and it doesn't work. When I plugged the iPhone 4S, it did't recognize it. When I open iTunes using a different user, it works fine, I don't get the error. I have read the troubleshooting steps provided by Apple, and I don't want to create a new user and transfer all the documents so I can use iTunes. I would like to know if there's another solution for this issue. Thanks.

Itunes won't open 'error: new itunes library'

My itunes was playing up.
Not recognising my iphone 4s.
It then told me I had to install the new itunes to make m iphone compatible with the computer.
I did so and now the itunes will not open saying "Error: New Itunes Library' WHY?!? This is really frustrating me!!
Thanks.

georgiamomma -
There are a few things you could try,but what worked for me was to download a fresh installation file from apple.
Your update got corrupted somehow. Doing the usual of going to control panel, clicking on Programs and Features, clicking on iTunes in the list and selecting REPAIR probably won't fix this issue, as sometimes repair reverts the installation to its previous version and then your iTunes Library.itl file can't open because it's from a newer version than the one REPAIR reinstalled. You can try that process, but I doubt it will work.
Do not change any files and/or their existing locations. Also, do not uninstall iTunes from your machine. Simply go to Apple's web site and download their latest version suitable for your particular computer. Once downloaded, double click the installer and follow the prompts. You should be able to launch itunes afterward, and your library will magically re-appear.
Again, DO NOT uninstall the old version, and do not rename, remove and/or replace any of the original files prior to installing the latest version over what's already on your machine. Good luck!

My iTunes will not open, error message 13014, help!

My itunes will not open on my Macbook Pro, everytime I try it says error message 13014, what does this mean? Thank you!

Hold the option key while starting iTunes and create a new library. Does it start now? If so, it's something to do with your library file. Is there anything we should know about your computer such as you keeping your library on a NAS?

Itunes will not open error message- APSDaemon.exe system error

Running windows 7 never had a problem with iTunes until I tried to downlaod update yesterday...iTunes will not open and have error message 'MSVCR80.dll APSDaemon.exe system error......
How do I fix itunes and and the system error? Thanks

Murray3703, only one other time did this happen to me. It was over 6 years back when I had an iPod Nano and after doing the reinstallation, it wiped out all of the content and applications and corrupted by Nano to the point Apple said it could not be fixed. I had no other things corrupted on my laptop. So, I know it was not a virus.
I have tried fixing the problem with redownloading and "repairing" the problem but, it did not work. Since the Nano incident, I am somewhat reluctant to do this for fear that I will loose all of my content and paid applications to apple? I also have Windows 7.
Did you have any issues with uninstalling and reinstalling? Thanks.

Quicktime and itunes will not open error message

I think their is suppose to be two files (QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx) in the systems 32 folder. But there is a quick.ime also in the folder, do I delete it so that my quicktime and itunes work.

No, quick.ime is not part of Quicktime. Don't delete it.
If Quicktime will not open, then iTunes can't work.
Can you give the Quicktime error message in full, and also check in your Windows error logs or Problems & solutions to see if there is more information there.
You haven't given your Windows version which helps when troubleshooting.
