    Hi, DickmoAZ.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder.  Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue.

  • The Itunes Library File Could Not Be Saved A unknown Error Occurred -1450

    I keep getting this error message since I updated to this version of Itunes. Ver. 7.0.2.16. I had absolutly no problems until this update. I have removed and reinstalled twice..and I mean removed all files ccleanered the whole PC the whole she-bang, re-ripped my music, new ITL library,XML every thing, over five thousand songs.
    I noticed while importing songs I would get this 1450 error if I tryed doing to many songs at once, looked like a resources issue even though the memory and processer usage was showing plenty of headroom..?? But now its popping up while just trying to play songs in ITUNES. It says its unable to save the file etc. and causes stutterring in the song but amazingly song counts etc. show up in the times played and date played columns. The ITL file also shows as having last been changed/modified at the same time the error message says it couldn't be saved...anyone know what's going on here???
    Tried running with no virus checker running, no firewall etc. Ran a tweakIU routine ...a fix suggestion that I found on a google search, reset the file permissions etc.
    I also get the insufficent privilages message error when trying to set ITUNES as default audio player....(I have ADMIN priv.)
    I'm apparantly not the only person experiencing this, a Google search gets a lot of hits on this 1450 error message.
    HELP PLEASE

    Well I believe I may have found the solution to the -1450 error at least for my situation.
    While pouring over settings I noticed ITUNES runs in a protected memory space. Well this along with the symptoms displayed (being unable to update the library file if a large number or files are changed/edited added etc.) led me to examine my virtual memory settings under the Windows/control panel/performance/advanced/Memory usage tab and I noticed that for some reason memory usage was selected as optimized for "System cache" VS "programs". I changed this to programs and also while in the same area disabled the EP "execution prevention" feature of the INTEL processor.
    I can now import change/files listen to music etc. without this -1450 error presenting itself.
    I'm not sure which of the two steps solved the problem but I suspect the Memory optimization being set for "system cache" was the problem.
    While I never had any problems running other apps.(I do have a lot of memory)I think ITUNES was having a problem with this setting when writing to and from temp files and the ITUNES.ITL file.
    I have no idea how or when or why this setting was as it was as all my other PC's are set for program performance optimization.
    Hope some one finds this helpful.

  • Upgraded to version 7.3 - Library file can not be saved - Unknown Error-50

    I upgraded to version 7.3 and now I get a pop up error message that says the I Tunes library file can not be saved. The program reports an unknown error occurred (-50). The Pop up error message comes up every minute or so or any time I click on any item in ITunes.
    I tried to contact Itunes and they sent me a link to this forum. Can someone please tell what to do to fix this problem or how to reach a real person at Itunes tech support?
    I am running Windows XP.

    Hi Ray,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions..
    Check out this link...
    Many ppl are having this problem (myself included). I finally had to downgrade to 7.2 from a backup I had made earlier. 7.2, so far, hasn't caused me any problems so I'm waiting for 7.3.1.

    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.

  • What does ! mean in itunes library listing?

    I have updated my itunes version and really messed things up. All of my itunes songs have an exclamation mark in front of them and when I click on the song an error messages advises that the song cannot be found. However the song does indeed exist and can be played from windows explorer by clicking on it, at which time itunes pops up as the default media player and removes the exclamation mark. It also makes a duplicate listing of the song.

    It means that iTunes doesn't know wer the file has gone, it mite have moved or been deleted, so basically it's tellin u that it doesnt know wer it is. You can add all your songs agen to the library or tell iTunes where the file is.

  • The iTunes itl. file can not be found

    iTunes won't open and i tried to reinstall it and it says the same thing wat do i do?

    Search all your hard drives for the file:
    iTunesLibrary.itl
    If none are found, you've lost all your metadata such as ratings, play counts, etc.
    You might also just look for files containing ITL, since there may be something in the +Previous iTunes Libraries+ folder that you could use.
    Make sure WIn Exp is set to show file extensions.
    You should be able to get itunes to start by pressing _and holding_ the shift key while starting itunes. EIther use one of the ITL you files you found, or create a new one, when prompted.

  • Error message - "The iTunes Library file is full could not be saved" - Help

    Hi folks.
    I looked for current / recent chatter on this iss before creating this topic. Didn't see anything that addressed this issued recently. If I missed it, sorry, if not, here you go!
    I got an error message last night while using iTunes. It just popped up during use, not while using. The error message read "The iTunes Library File could not be saved." Now my hard drive is DEFINITELY not full. I have hundreds of gigs of unused space. This appears to be an issue strictly related to my library.xml file. Stupidly, I clicked the don't show me this again and closed the message. My concern now is that I'll rip new content that won't end up in my iTunes library even though it's on my hard drive, thus that content will not be findable by iTunes.
    I don't want to just rebuild the library from scratch as I have fixed tons of errors in how iTunes classifies my music over the years and all that work would be lost.
    Any ideas on how to get past this glitch?
    I noticed this problem also cropped up circa the original iPhone launch. I had that phone and did not experience this prob, and I just upgraded to the 3G four days ago. It makes no sense to me that the phone is causing this, but perhaps the upgrade to the iTunes version 7.7 (necessary to use the iPhone with my Windows computer) is the cause of the prob.
    I did erase a bunch of videos and unsubscribed to several video casts. That was one recommended solution way back when.
    My concern though is that since I chose the don't show me this error message again option, I won't know whether the problem persists or not.
    Oh the humanity...

    I have seen this a few times, usually when other 3rd-party applications are using itunes. Such as, lastfm & the Tivo remote music player.
    And, I've also seen it when I was copying a bunch of digital photos to the exHD in the background while playing music and the song changed. iTunes saves the playcount in the ITL file when the song ends.
    You might check this Microsoft article about "Enable write caching on the disk". I haven't seen that iTunes error since I turned mine back on for the exHD. The Tivo "delayed write failed" errors are back, but that's a different problem...

    Anyway, long story short, it gets saved OK later and I make frequent backups of that ITL file.

  • The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. The disk cannot be found.

    Hi,
    Just curious if anyone knows what this iTunes error message means:
    +The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. The disk cannot be found.+
    I am attempting to play music from my library located on the a Lacie 1TB NAS, which allows me to play our iTunes library from either the iMac or MacBook.
    Let me know if there's any further info needed on my set up to help answer my query.
    Cheers

    I'm getting the same error on the Mini with SL. Also a similar setup with the library on an external drive.
    Music plays okay, but the message keeps popping up.
    Some artwork has gone missing as well, which is a bit random too.
    Any ideas?

  • When i try to open itunes ,this written appears :"The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file. "What does it mean?

    when i try to open itunes ,this written appears :"The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file. "What does it mean?

    To solve this issue all I did was check to ensure that the file permissions were set as described by the earlier posts, followed by simply deleting the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file.  Once the file was deleted I was able to open iTunes without difficulty.  Note that I am running Windows 8.  Hope this helps!

  • What does it mean when you get a "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. There is not enought memory available." ? And what can I do to correct it?

    Well, I installed the latest iTunes this AM, works perfectly.  Although for some reason it did lock up after playing a song today.
    Horror stories?  That's a bit overly dramatic.
    No, it isn't.
    The issue you are experiencing is one that has occurred in multiple versions of iTunes, a simple search would have revealed this.
    A simple search was conducted, no one seemed to have an answer.  Do you always adopt such a haughty attitude?  Or was I just lucky.
