Exclude your iTunes folder from your antivirus program.
For me it is NOD32, and whenever I re-install or upgrade I have to do this, otherwise the annoying "saving itunes library" error pops up on exit...
If you haven't done anything to the antivirus program, maybe you renamed your folder or the location where the iTunes folder is located and you have to change that in the antivirus program as well...
This worked for me... Hope it helps you out!

Error message: The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54).

I opened iTunes and downloaded 2 songs from http://www.reverbnation.com. Shortly after I started getting this error message: The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54). Anyone dealt with this before?

== Error -54 ==
From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
First, try simply restarting your computer.

.itl error message: The iTunes Library file cannot be saved...

Does anyone know what causes this error message: "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. A folder was specified instead of a file."
Long story short, I am tranferring my library to a new computer. On the old computer (XP, iTunes 10) it referenced the library from an external hard drive. On the new computer (Windows 7, iTunes 10) it references the C drive (my choosing). I put the iTunes Library folder onto C/Libraries/Music/iTunes/I manually put the .itl file in C/Libraries/Music/iTunes, and it worked (all of the playlists and file data were retrieved successfully). But then iTunes starts giving me that error message, and the .itl dissapears from C/Libraries/Music/iTunes. Then when I try to reopen iTunes I get this message: "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.
Why is iTunes having trobule saving the file? Or do I need to somehow mondify the .itl so that it is functional in this new location (on the old computer it was in a differen folder. THanks for any insight.

Hi,
I got to messing around in the iTunes folder and now NOTHing is visible in my iTunes Library. I had made a backup of the ~\My Music\iTunes folder before I messed with anything and so deleted the entire iTunes folder. Then I restored it from the backup. There is still NOTHing in my library.
I can import one item at a time but it's impractical to do it that way due to the volume of music. How can I import All of my music into the library? Is there a way to import an entire directory, consisting of sub-directories and their music - into the library?
Thanks very much.
Mike

I know this doesn't help you Bud, but I've had this issue for at least the last couple of versions. If I can ask, what is you enviornment like? Local PC only, libray saved on another PC/Server?
In my case my library is on Windows 2003 server with the share mapped to drive M: This has worked for many years through both XP and Windows 7 until and update a while ago.
Thanks,

My mac air want shut down, had to force shut after computer freezing in itunes, box with saving itunes library has been up for 30 mins

I have had a day of it. wanted to join my new pc computer to my itune account. one problem to many devices on my account and two are ones that got broken and couldn't be deauthrise. sooo i deauthrised all computers. my mac air was sitting beside me so i thought i will authrise it again, was that a mistake as my computer became very slow when i went into itunes. it froze and not in the spinning disc way, in the was doing nothing way. held power button in, after waiting 10 mins and it went to gray screen with itune boxs saying "saving itunes library". its been doing this over 30 mins now and will not shut down or anything esle because when i try power button again it says i have not logged out of itune and should do this before it can shut down. not happy!!!! this is after 2 hours prior apple tried very hard sale to get me to buy there tech support for £100. I have never had a problem before, doesn't that seem strange?

Exactly what did you do to run Disk Utility and exactly what happened up to the freeze?
I called some place to ask for advice and they said it could be my logic board???
That's an easy answer to give but not necessarily the correct one.
If you have the system restore disc that came with your Mac, boot with that disc in the Mac while holding down the "D" key. That will invoke hardware diagnostics. Run those several times to investigate the possibility that your Mac has a hardware flaw.

Hi there Br0x,
You may want to try rebuilding the iTunes library as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Message "saving itunes library"

When I tried to turn off my computer last night it was aborted by the message "saving itunes library". It is still trying to save this morning. What do I need to do??

When closing iTunes it will save the data base file before finally closing.
You can try to 'Force Quit' iTunes - esc+'option' +  keys held down together will give you the Force Quit dialog box - or from the  drop down menu.
If that doesn't work try a 'Force Quit' of the Finder. After that you could reboot if still having problems.

'Saving iTunes Library" Message

for the last few months my home computer's (Windows XP Pro SP2) iTunes displays this message 'Saving iTunes Library" and takes 10 to 20 seconds to close. Now this never used to occur, and it doesn't occur on any of my laptops or other computers at home nor work. Any idea of why this is occuring and how to stop it?

Well, I wouldn't dare to call you an idiot
If you open iTunes and directly afterwards close it again you wouldn't expect to "save" your library 'cause nothing has changed. But even if you import, rename etc., all actions are completed instantly. It would be "bad" programming to occupy system resource for such a long time after exiting a program...
I agree with you, that it is not a real error message. Probably iTunes way to say, that it can't close because there is still some action going on in the iTunes folder (bij the antivirus program).
Anyway, I had this message too and only after I excluded the folder from my antivirus program it was gone.

I have the following error The file "iTunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes

Can anyone help me with this problem. I tried updating the latest itunes and it caused an error MSVCR80.dll missing. I then tried fixing it after reading other people had the same problem and a solution was given about uninstaling itunes and the order in which to do that. I did that but now get the error "the files "itunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of itunes. I see a solution has been given about this but I cannot find what is suggested to enable me to follow instructions. Can anyone please go through step by step (letting me know where I can find what is needed) to enable me to be able tio log into itues again. Thanks

Hi pussygalore,
If you are having issues with iTunes after an attempted update, you may find the following article helpful:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
You may want to make sure that in the last step (reinstalling iTunes) that you are installing the latest/newest available version, and not attempting a reinstall from an older file.

TS1717 When trying to open itunes I get an error message "New iTunes Library". any suggestions?

i can't open itunes. i get an error message: New iTunes Library. Anyone else encounter this?

I have Windows 7. I went into control panel and selected 'programs' and then 'programs and features'. Then I highlighted the iTunes program in the list and then selected 'repair'. It then configured iTunes. I then restarted my computer and it was okay.
