Message on iTunes startup

I’m brand new to iTunes. I currently have a Creative Labs mp3 player, which I like a lot. Two days ago I bought the 80 gig iPod Classic, which seems to be a very nice unit.
I had resisted iPods due to the proprietary nature of everything. After talking with a friend who said I’d be able to play old mp3 files that I had on my computer, I decided to get the iPod Classic.
I will likely have many questions as I get used to using the iPods and iTunes.
My first issue deals with the iTunes software. When I start the software without the iPod attached a dialog box appears, with the following message:
“You’ve inserted a blank cd or dvd. To burn items on the disc, select the playtlist that contains the items you want to burn, and then click “burn disc” in the bottom-right corner of the iTunes window. If you haven’t yet created the playlist, choose files>new playlist, then drag items from your library to the playlist.”
The problem is that there is no cd or dvd in the drive. This might have something to do with the software hang that follows.
As I've been get used to iTunes and in order to check out something I’ve read in the iPod support areas, I made it to the “preferences” area. I then clicked the “advanced” tab.
There are three tabs under the box that shows the music file location. The first two (general, importing) work normally. When they are clicked, the range of choices underneath them changes with them. When the third tab (burn) is clicked, the system hangs up or freezes. The choices from the previous tab are still displayed. The only way I can close the program is to right click on the taskbar icon. It then says the program is not responding. I’ve included the detail from what Vista shows the problem to be:
Description:
A problem caused this program to stop interacting with Windows.

iTunes will close, but then it will not start again until I reboot. Is this a known problem?
I have installed all Windows updates. I’m not sure how to check for an Apple firmware update.
I built my computer a couple of months ago. Here are the specs:
Intel E6750, Asus P5K, Lian Li PC-A70A case, BFG GeForce 7950GT OC w/ 512Mb, Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250Gb hard drive, Corsair XMS2 2Gb memory, Corsair 520W power supply, Lite-On 20X dvd burner, Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
This is not a critical situation as I can still use iTunes and the iPod. It is merely an annoyance at this point. I have not yet ripped any music from cd or used the dvd drive with iTunes.
Should I just go ahead and uninstall and then reinstall iTunes? What will this do the iTunes library? I don’t care if it will wipe it out, but that’s a situation I’ll get into when I resolve this issue.
I appreciate any assistance that may be offered.

None that I can think of. You will probably have to re-add the files to iTunes again. Actually, just go into the iTunes folder, find the .itl file and move or copy it to a safe location. Uninstall iTunes, reinstall iTunes. After it installs, it should be a blank library. Exit iTunes, then recopy that file back to the same location overwriting the new ones created by the new install. When you open, you should see your library back in place.

'iTunes has stopped working' error message on iTunes startup with vista

Today i downloaded iTunes 7.1, i opened it and all seemed well, i played a few tracks etc.
but, when i plugged my ipod in i was told that iTunes has stopped working,
i tried to open it again, but the same message pops up.
so i restarted the computer, tried again, with and without the ipod in, still no success.
So i re installed itunes. Noting, i even re-dowloaded it, but still nothing.
i can't even open it, let alone sync my ipod.
I am currently running vista premium, and i had ipod problems with 7.0.2, i had to manually manage the iPod, auto sync crashed the computer. How do i fix it?!?

"You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" error message on iTunes startup?

So I cleaned up my Macbook recently, and now I am fearing that I may have deleted something important.
Whenever I start up iTunes, I am met with the "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation" error message. I have read forums that advised editing the Get Info page for the iTunes library to allow all users and staff to "Read/Write", but doing this has not eliminated this message.
Any tracks that were not purchased play normally, but purchased tracks now require additional sign-in that I do not believe was required before. Other than this, iTunes performs normally.
Did I mess something up permanentliy or is there a way to fix this?

The problem was that my account wasn't authorized. But when I tried to authorize it, I got an error message saying that the authorization could not be completed. Thankfully, THAT was something that Apple Support had previously addressed.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1277
Thanks, Apple.

MZCommerce.AuthToken push message interrupting iTunes startup

iTunes 11.3 stalls on opening and a box comes up titled "MZCommerce.AuthTokenResumePendingDownloadsPush_message", wants my password, and tells me to "Click Continue and sign in to check for downloads." (Which is the reverse order of what is to be done btw). Is all this legit?
I updated to 11.3 after this happened but it continues. My computer (OS10.9.4, 2x2.66 Ghz Quad-core Intel Xeon, 16 GB 1066 Mhz DDR3) also stalled in connecting to the App store, told me it couldn't connect, then finally did. And all during typing this I'm getting an orange error band bouncing up continuously telling me my "content could not be saved due to an error", and that I may have been logged out. Which suggests intermittent internet connection?

The Mac OS X has a good firewall built in, and the suggestion would be to use that,
as it recognizes items that Norton firewall may see incorrectly as a problem to the
OS X system, as OK. And Norton may see integral Mac parts in a different light.
I'd dispense with Norton Wirewall and third party antivirus, and avoid those cleanmymac,
mackeeper, genieo, and other items. Also, avoid downloads of applications from third-party
software sites (such as those hosted by cnet, and others) and if you need Adobe Flash,
go to Adobe and avoid odd popups in web browsers that suggest something untoward, as
that isn't how to get the official product. Even a few odd products who have certificated App
Store products offer useless stuff for the Mac, but manage to stay in the mac App store.
Something as simple as this report utility that says what is in the startup section of the user
files and the main system, can be more helpful to a novice; the report can be posted online
in the ASC discussions, and someone who knows what bogus or issue-prone evidence to
look for, can suggest what to remove; stuff that gets installed that does no good.

Anyway, hopefully the products that don't help your modern Mac OS X can be sorted out.
Good luck & happy computing!

Error message on iTunes startup...

Everytime I try to open iTunes an error pops up and says "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration".. I did just recently download iTunes 7.0.2 but this is the first time I've had a problem with it... Can anyone help?
Windows XP

this might be being caused by a problem with your QuickTime. (itunes uses QuickTime for audio and video playback.)
so let's first try swapping out your QuickTime.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

after upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues. my computer now freezes and programs close randomly. The usual command for opening windows with bootcamp doesnt work. once in restarted my computer after it froze and it rebooted in windows automatically. i really just want to know if there is a way to take the upgrade off my laptop because it is very annoying.

Hi Memalyn
Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

In attempting to install recommended software updates I get a message saying my startup disc is full. I have an Intel-based desktop with 1GB memory. What can I safely remove?

In attempting to install recommended software updates I get a message that my startup disc is full. I have an iMac (intel-based) with 1GB memory. I suspect my iTunes library is using up much of the space (I have no movies installed and have already copied most of my photos to a DVD to free up space). If I follow the instructions to move my iTunes library to an external HD (can I use a flash drive?) will I have enough working memory to plug it back in for use when I want to access the library?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Moving libraries off the boot disk while doable is not very viable. It creates many new problems in backing up your data, as now you have more than one source to backup. See my backup FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
My suggestion is to get at least two copies of all your essential data in one manner or another, and get a larger boot hard drive to replace what you currently use to be able to consolidate your libraries.
As for cleaning space, see my FAQ*:

Itunes wont open and gives me a message saying "Itunes has stopped working". What can I do to fix this?

I use windows vista and I have upgraded my itunes. Now when I open it, it gives me a message saying "itunes has stopped working" and then gives me a message saying it will notify me for a solution. What can I do to fix this so it can open and not give me any more problems???

First you can try;
Try restarting PC and run itunes again!
If error again than perform clean instal of itunes (uninstal first and than instal again)!

I want to Sync my iPhone 4 to iTunes however I get an error message from iTunes each time I connect the phone to the PC saying that I should restore to factory settings. Frustrating because it's already annoying enough that I can't drag and drop mp3's!!!

I have never been so frustrated before in my life with any phone. I find it obnoxious as it is that I cannot simply drag and drop files (especially MP3's) straight from my PC directly into my phone, which I have been used to doing up until now. Everyone who convinced me to get the iPhone has instructed me that my frustration can be fixed by downloading iTunes and syncing it all up via that program (which I have never used before). So, I downloaded the program successfully, however when I connect the iPhone 4 to the PC and iTunes is open, I get an error message that 'iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone "iPhone" and that I should go to the Preferences tab of the iPhone and select 'restore' to restore this phone to factory settings. First of all, I don't understand why I need to do that. I have already downloaded apps and other important things in the 2 days that I have the phone. I am also scared that it will erase my contacts. This is such a headache. Music is very imporatant to me, but I am getting so frustrated that I don't have freedom over the phone which I thought was supposed to be one of the best out there. I would really appreciate help in this matter. I am sure the phone is great but I am on the verge of taking it back and getting something else.

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

TS1717 unes, i have windows 8, i get the message, "the itunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file. how did this happen, how do i fix this?

the message"The itun, library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file". i have windows 8. how why did this happen? how do i correct this and prevent another occurance? I am able to access itunes on my i5, ipad, and my old i4 that i use solely as my ipod now. At the time problem occurred, i was connected to ext hard drive that hold over 190GB music, to add to my library. I am now unable to add to my library using my laptop. any advise/help is greatly appreciated!!

I just had the same problem and was able to fix it after trying a couple of things I found after a search.
The solution that worked for me:
Find iTunes folder - it should be in C:\Program FIles (x86) or similar depending on your operating system
Right click the entire folder (no need to open it) and click properties
Click the security tab
Click edit and highlight the user name under which you logged in.
Click the box next to full in the allow column, which should check everything
Click apply
Open iTunes
This worked for me.

If you have followed the standard Apple troubleshooting processes (see user guide )
probably a trip to the local Apple Store Genius bar is called for before warranty runs out
Assuming the iPad has been released in your Country if not you may have to take it to a
neighbouring Country where it is available
