ITunes won't open it say's folder locked or don't have permissions

I upgraded to a larger SATA drive so OS is a clone. I have repaired permissions( disk warrior ) and reinstalled iTunes but still the same message? Any ideas?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • My iTunes won't open. Says I don't have permission. Why is my computer doing this and how can I fix it so I can access my iTunes?

    And is there someone who can help me resolve this problem? I've uninstalled iTunes but even when I put it back on, it says the same thing over and over again.

  • Itunes won't open. Says can't find the folder

    Hi,
    I could install Itunes and Quicktime, I already tried the msconfig solutions but it doesn't work. I have a ipod with video and I can't get it to work because itunes won't open.
    It displays the license agreement and after I agree it displays error message "Can't find itunes folder or can't be created and is needed for Itunes to work. This is normally located under My music folder".
    I tried to create manually the folder, and still doesn't work.
    Can you help me with this or tell me if I can use another application to transfer video and photos to my Ipod?

    This error prevents iTunes from launching. The library file was modified to work with the newer iTunes version, so it is no longer compatible with the previous version. The good news, however, is that Apple does backup the iTunes library file into a subdirectory that you can use to revert back to the previous version.
    To recover a previous version of the iTunes Library.itl file, use the following steps:
    Open up your My Documents\My Music folder.
    We will first backup the current version. Rename iTunes Library.itl to something like iTunes Library.itl.bak.
    Go into the My Documents\My Music\Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
    You may see several files that start with iTunes Library and have a date included in the name. Copy the newest file in the folder.
    Go back to the My Documents\My Music and paste the file from the previous step.
    Rename the new copied file to iTunes Library.itl.
    Your library should now be restored to the previous version of iTunes, and you should no longer receive the message.

  • ITunes won't open its says "this version of iTunes has not been correctly localised for this laungage. Please run the English vresion" hep

    IiTunes won't open says it is wrong langage and to run English version. I am trying to open in windows.
    Apple is

    Try moving the file C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml out to your desktop then start iTunes. This will force iTunes to create a new preference file which may do the trick. You will need to review your iTunes preferences after doing so in case you made any changes to the default settings that you need to reset.

  • My computer crashed and I had to re load my operation system. now itunes won't open. it says it was created by a newer version? what is that?

    my computer crashed and I had to re load my operation system. now, when I try to open my itunes all I get is a message that says "can not be read because itunes was created by a newer version" what does that mean and how do I correct it. I need my music back!

    As iTunes is uopgraded the newer versions require that the iTunes database be upgraded to match. It sounds like you now have an older version of the sftware attempting to load an upgraded library which it can't do.
    What version of OS X are you running?
    What version of iTunes are you currently running?
    What versions were you running when your system crashed?

  • IPhoto won't open, error message appears, suggests reinstall but don't have disks!

    The following message has just appeared:
    Dyld Error Message:
      Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/iLifeFaceRecognition.framework/Versions/A/iLifeFaceRecognit ion
      Referenced from: /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/MacOS/iPhoto
      Reason: image not found
    Suggests reintalling but I don't have disks. App store won't let me reinstall as it is already installed.
    Any one any ideas please?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Itunes won't open-error-says Itunes has stopped working

    I can't open Itunes--it keeps saying it has stopped working and it tries to find a solution.  Then it shuts down and nothing happens.  I have uninstalled and redownloaded it but same problem.

    Restart your computer.
    Disconnect your computer from the internet and see if you can open iTunes without crash.
    if iTunes does open, go to iTunes Menu Edit > Preferences, "Advanced" tab and click the "Reset Cache" button, OK.
    Now, use Windows Explorer to delete the contents of Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Download
    You may now re-connect your internet then see if you can open iTunes without issues.

  • Installed v8 and now itunes won't open

    I upgraded to V 8 and now itunes won't open. Saying my audio configuration not right. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I always backup and archive any and all versions I've used and downloaded, or at least until I feel safe with the current version.
    Setting a backup also lets a system be restored to prior point in time.

  • Itunes won't open after update

    My Itunes won't open since I updated it... No error messages appears and in the task manager, the process is running.. but nothing appears in Task Manager Applications! And, of course it never opens...
    Someone else with the same problem found any solution?

    Same thing happens to me, I installed iTunes 10 and it simply won't open when I launch it.
    I don't have the bonjour service in my Task Manager so I guess I can't try that solution.
    This stinks, what is wrong with this faulty version of iTunes? If I lose my iPhone data I would seriously die.
    BTW I'm using Windows Vista.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!

  • Copying failed because you don't have permissions to change your iTunes me-

    This is what it says: Copying failed because you don't have permissions to change your itunes media folder or a folder within it
    I'm using iTunes media consolidation procedure to copy all media files from the existing folder on an external Lacie 180 GB firewire 400 to an external Hitachi duo pro 2TB firewire 400 that has a raid feature which is switch to 1 (essentially it does 2 copies on both disks at the same time)
    It won't even copy a single file. I've tried to copy other stuff from the internal hard disk to the new 2TB disk and copies fine (5GB folder full of software). It only does this with iTunes.

    I did what you suggested on all three folders: The main Music folder on the Mac hard disk, on the iTunes folder on the external 160GB Hard drive which contains the current media content and on the new 2TB hard disk on which I created a new media folder. I selected permission for myself which were already read+write and chose the apply to enclosed items on all three folders. I then changed the permission for others to read+write and applied to enclose items also an all three folders.
    But it didn't solve anything.
    Here's what happens: I choose the new directory in iTunes preferences (the media folder on the 2TB disk) I then go to File > Library > Organize Library and then choose Consolidate files. A window pops up and says copying "filename" with a progression bar underneath but the filename never changes. Instead the beachball appears when the mouse pointer hoovers over iTunes. Upon pressing the iTunes icon in the Dock it says that iTunes is not responding. At this point there's 2 different ways:
    A - If I then force quit iTunes the iTunes window disappears but the application does not close. When I want to eject the 2TB disk it says it's being used by another application. Only when I cut the power to the 2TB disk does iTunes fully close. A window then pops up and says that the drive was not put away properly etc.
    B - if I cut the power to the drive without force quitting iTunes, a window appears with the said: "Copying failed because you don't have permissions to change iTunes media folders etc." iTunes remains open and fully functional.

    Hey pierrejordan,
    Thanks for the question. The following article that goes over what to do when you receive a "Disk is locked" error on your Windows computer. Try out the steps within and see if that resolves the issue:
