New installation iTunes 9.0.2

I'm guessing that this is more of a Vista question than iTunes, but.... I just installed 9.0.2 (first time, not update) and when I try to run it I get "The folder "iTunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder". Help?
Thanx

Check the iTunes folder in Music and make sure it is not marked Read Only and that you have Read/Write permissions to the folder and all contents.
Hope this helps.

    I have itunes directory on an external hard drive and want to direct a new installation of itunes on windows 8 to use it. I tried holding down ctrl and clicking itunes and after many tries got it to work one time. When I went back in later it had reverted back to a blank version of itunes and I cant get ctrl to work again. Any other ideas?

    This is sometimes caused by a problem with the iTunesPrefs.xml file, normally found at C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml. Try dragging this to the desktop and trying again.
    Alternatively the problem may be that you have McAfee AV and it is preventing iTunes from updating the same file and thus causing the problem. See Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml? for details.

    No, but you do not need iTunes to setup a new iPhone 5s. Create an iCloud backup for anything you want to transfer to the new iPhone.

  • I cant open my iTunes and this is a whole new installation of snow leopard

    Every time I open my iTunes app i get this message:
    The folder "iTunes" is locked on a disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder...
    What the **** does this mean?? this is a new installation of snow leopard and my only account is the system administrator so how the **** do I not have access?? Please help urgently!

    Each time you connect your iPhone to iTunes, you need to eject it before closing iTunes by clicking on the little "eject" icon shown in iTunes.  It seems that sometime in the past, you did not do that.
    I'm not sure how to undo the previously done damage, but maybe a reboot of your Mac would help.

  • Problem to restore itunes data (win7 itunes) after new installation

    I made due to performance issues a completely new installation of Win 7 and  itunes on my computer (formatting harddisk, new Win7 and itunes installation as well other applications.
    I installed new itunes and wanted to import my old data (Files preference list, music, mobil applikation) I saved before on a externad harddisk.
    After itunes was installed, I copied the files described into the folderC:\Users\Fred\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
    After starting itunes, I cant see my created playlists, and just some but not all music is available and non of the apps.
    Any idea?

    The best way is to use the backup copy of your data that you keep on a second drive somewhere.
    The application you can download from Apple.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • How to move ALL my iTunes stuff to a new installation...

    Hi there! I have an iTunes library with songs, videos, and PDFs and I want to back it up and move it to my new computer. So I have two partitions on my HDD... I keep all the stuff in a folder on the D:. I then format the C: drive, move the "iTunes" folder out of "My Music" and install iTunes (creating a new/fresh iTunes folder). Now how do I get all of my music, videos, and PDFs back into iTunes? I know how to get the music and videos... (pref - copy music to iTunes library setting). What about the PDFs?
    Any ideas? This applies to both my PC and my PowerBook.
    Thanks,
    Keith

    The easiest method is to 'clone' the current data and move it to the exact same location on the new PC.
    Make note of the exact path of the music files, photos, and other items. Copy them to the same drive letter and path on the new PC as they are currently. Also make a copy of the 'iTunes Library.itl' file and use that for your iTunes database file once you install iTunes on the new PC (you'll need to copy the old ITL file over the just created one on the new PC).
    You may also consider copying the two 'iTunes.pref' files that are in your 'C:\Documents and Settings' sub-folder (do a search for them).
    Done correctly, it will completely clone your current PC status onto the new PC.
    That's the simple explanation. Implementing it can be difficult and takes some care to get it right.

  • How do I get the songs on my ipod to a new installation of ITunes

    I keep Itunes on my corporate PC and I just received a new PC after the old one crashed. I installed ITunes and connected my IPod Nano and was saw a window that indicated my Ipod was linked to a different library and I would like to change. It would seem that I would lose all of my stuff if I answered yes. How do i get my Ipod in sync with the new installed Itunes?
    Thanks!

    t would seem that I would lose all of my stuff if I answered yes.
    \Correct.
    It is in sync with your previous computer.
    How do i get my Ipod in sync with the new installed Itunes?
    The correct answer to your question is to plug in the iPod and select yes.
    It will sync your iPod with your new library which contains nothing.
    Sync between iPod and iTunes is one way. Computer to iPod.
    The question you really want to ask is, “how do I get the songs off my iPod onto my computer?”
    Go to www.yamipod.com.
    This will allow you to get everything of the iPod and into iTunes.

  • How can iTunes 4.2 be newer than iTunes 6.0.5?

    I have iTunes 4.2 installed on my G4 running OS 10.3.9 and I want to upgrade to iTunes 6.0.5. When I run the installer and get to the Installation Type window all the packages under action are disabled. If I move the cursor over the word Disabled I get the following message:
    A newer version of this package is already installed.
    How can iTunes 4.2 be newer than iTunes 6.0.5?

    How can iTunes 4.2 be newer than iTunes 6.0.5?
    No idea what makes your Mac think it is.
    Remove the 'iTunes(x).pkg' files from ./Library/Receipts and try installing again.

  • Updated as new installation 613 to 616 iphone 3GS, the 613 backup is nolonger listed, and all data gone. Anyway to restore 613 with data and update keeping data?

    I chose new installation instead of update from 613 to 616. The new installation is missing all the data, and app data, notes, etc. The previous backup is nolonger listed, only new one for 616, anyway to restore 613 with data?

    A backup was listed for earlier today, I did a backup before new installation. Once new installation, it did an auto backup of new installation, and only this one is listed.
    This matches documentation, it says cannot restore to earlier version from itunes. Do I have to do a restore factory settings to see previous version backup, and restore this earlier version?

  • I want to wipe my computer clean and start with a new installation of Lion

    My MBP has been acting strange.  I want to wipe it completely clean and start with a brand new installation of Lion.  How do I do that?  I know I can access the recovery partition by pressing 'Command+r' during the boot process.  However, do I need to use the disk utility option first and erase my internal hard drive?  Then do I use the new lion instal option?
    Or if I choose the new lion isntallation from the recovery partition, does it erase my drive first?

    What error?
