iTunes locked after I downloaded a CD purchased

I downloaded a purchased CD. I ejected the CD, then tried to play the music to download. I received the error message: the library file is locked on a locked disk or

you don't have permission to write to this file. How to unlock iTunes?

I don't know why this message would come.  You have your iTunes library (or the iTunes Media folder) stored on an external drive?

First of all, if you have not already the case, quit iTunes.  If it has been a while since you last restarted your Mac, you can also do a reboot.  Then run iTunes and try again.

  • Installed the library at Ext Drive, iTunes wants to re-download all previous purchases

    I moved the library iTunes & iPhoto on an external drive, as described in the guide online from Apple. Everything seems to work properly. Then I upgraded my OS to El Capitan, and I try to sync our iPhones and iPad for the first time.

    In iTunes, is to show all our purchases, but all the playlists have disappeared. When I try to sync, it tells me I will be to delete everything on my iPhone, and it shows no content available with which it can synchronize (except the Apps). Available music, television, and music available to synchronize with the iPhone sucks. Each item purchased has now an emblem of download on it. I tried to launch a film I bought and downloaded months ago, he began to re - download.

    The iPhone I'm trying sync is a 6s a day and iTunes iOS & other applications are up to date. ITunes content is very visibly on the drive external hard, all the 220 + GB of it. It will take days to weeks to download all new and I don't want to eat another 200 + GB of HD space, then must manually remove hundreds of duplicates just to access the items, I know that I already have but iTunes does not recognize is already there.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Have you tried to run iTunes by holding down the Option key? Select "choose library" then go to the external HD and the iTunes folder there. You should get the option to open it.

  • Windows 10 PC iTunes version current cat download items purchased

    10PC of Windows; latest version of iTunes

    When syncing with an iPhone replacement 6s (because of an iPhone battery defective 6s), I get the message that they have 12 songs that have not been synchronized because they cannot be found.

    Contacted Apple cat and they claimed to have reset the All for you, and even after that I am unable to download purchased albums.

    Calls the number of service provided by the representative of cat and her busy and shuts down after 2 or 3 seconds.

    I don't use I cloud... and when I go on the account/bought/All, all the above albums are listed as purchased, but selection of an album shows that the 'X' in the upper left corner.

    The opening of the album songs are listed with an option for 'Buy' or the game, but no download option

    No cloud icon, probably because that I do not use iCloud.

    Seems to me...

    1. you owe me the music I paid for

    2. This should not be difficult, or should I say impossible.

    3. maybe I should look for another way to buy my music.

    4. I now have problems of trust with Apple iTunes... You have customer problems.

    I use iTunes for years and have been through three generation sof iPhones, ipad, ipod and now... look to start wondering if the hours I spend to get support worth the cost...

    I need assistance of professional level here.

    When there are tracks in your library with an exclamation point, which means that iTunes cannot locate, iTunes will nevertheless assume that you have them for the purposes of the comparison of your library with your purchase history. This is why you do not get the download links for these articles. Remove broken of the library entries, don't hide from iTunes in the cloud if you are prompted, close iTunes, open, download links of clouds that may appear or the history of your purchases as described in download your past - purchases of Apple Support.

  • iTunes game duplicates (after re-download songs without DRM)

    Hello

    I recently signed up for iTunes game to upgrade all the pieces purchased between 2003 and 2009, which were laced with DRM (digital rights) and unplayable on my SONOS system. After the Match has completed its process, I found that a lot of songs have been duplicated in my iTunes library, see the attachment.

    I read on this Forum that the answer is simple: simply remove the redundant tracks, which I am ok to do (even if it's a lot of work...). But my question is: WHICH of the 2 I should delete the iTunes library? Those with the little cloud + Basel icon (kind = "purchased AAC audio file"), or those without the icon ('audio file AAC matched')?

    This is iTunes on an iMac with OS X Yosemite.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    PL

    It is unusual that iTunes could correspond to files that have been purchased through iTunes. Most of the time all your purchased tracks should have already been available for download on high without DRM sampling rate and should not count toward the limit of your correspondence. The only ones who * would * match would be albums that have been deleted after having bought and added later, iTunes library may be an another aggregator or etiquette or reissue.

    Files without the icon are real which exist in your library. Those with the icon cloud is in the cloud. I guess what's happened here is that you have the original version of cloud when you bought the files and now you have matched the actual downloads therefore to new versions of the albums in the cloud. If the bit rate is the same (not precise in your screenshot above), then I would like to delete the corresponding versions because I would not count towards the limit of my game files that are already offered to me to my iTunes purchase history. This is just one example where iTunes has replaced the versions of these files that you have purchased with other versions on the store.

    ITunes is downloading all items purchased from my iPhone, including tv shows and movies, using all the memory and batteries, does anyone know how to stop this?

    Hi anthony248,

    If you don't want the automatic downloads enabled on your iPhone, follow the steps outlined in the article below, except that you will turn off the switch rather than turn them on.  I'll also include a link about the storage capacity of your iPhone and how to delete items that you don't want.

  • After I downloaded beta Security Essentials, my computer say suddenly that he was not a genuine copy of Windows running and locked up.

    original title: the customer service is horrible

    After I downloaded beta Security Essentials, my computer say suddenly that he was not a genuine copy of Windows running and locked up.

    I called last night and got a foreign person has attempted to resolve the issues and could not, so he told me that I had to call back after 06:00 to speak to someone in the United States.
    So I called back today at 06:00 and got one of those who are running around things voice control that didn't fix my problem at all. After much effort, I got a live person. Again, it was a foreign person (why make me wait all night and get up early to call?!?!)
    This woman told me to restart. I told her that I had rebooted about 10 times since the day before and each time he took forever to load back up the box that tells me that I need to activate windows. She has reiterated, "I ask you to restart." I knew he wouldn't do ANYTHING, but I did and after the session it forever (as I told him it would be) she told me that I had to remind once I got up the box again. I called after that I got the box AND HAD TO START OVER again ONCE with someone new. Of course, she was trying to pass me to someone else.
    Of course, after all this trouble, no MS sells a product key for Vista, it is abandoned. So I need to go buy Windows 7 and she told me that I'll LOSE EVERYTHING when I install it - all my documents and family photos are gone forever. Why not take my money and sell me a product key instead of let me in trouble?
    The worst ever undertaken. Of course, MS doesn't care because they have a monopoly.

    You should not need to buy anything except the recovery disc for your machine (if the built-in recovery partition does not work), unless you really need Win 7 for some reason any.

    That being said - the COA sticker on your machine is readable? If Yes, then you should have no problem with a Windows 7 upgrade version - but you will need to either use activation by phone, or installation methods described here...

    If your computer is bad, you need to do a system restore. Since it seems that you can not stop, try to hold the power button until it turns off. If this does not work, unplug (if laptop, remove the battery).

    From there on, allows to do a restore:

    1. turn the computer on and start to tap F8 to get the start menu
    2. Select repair your computer
    3. Select System Restore
    4. Follow the prompts

    If the restore point is older, feel free to use the Scan for affected programs feature to make sure that no other programs are affected. Otherwise, I would make a note of it, as it will have to reinstall these programs. In addition, I was running updated Windows once your system working again, since you will most likely use a restore point set up just before an update. (no point in re-opening of a security breach)

  • If I change my iTunes store, going to lose my old purchases?

    If I change my iTunes store, going to lose my old purchases?

    Not sure what you mean by losing.

    You lose nothing of what you have stored somewhere.

    You cannot access another country's iTunes store, unless you are within the borders of this country, then you would not be able to re-download anything from another country.

    As long as you keep your content on your computer and save them, you will not lose.

  • iTunes application will not download songs on iPhone 6

    I recently bought two songs on the iTunes application on my iPhone 6. I clicked on the download button, but getting an error measage saying "Cannot download" and told me to try again later. Has anyone fixed this? I tried to reset all the settings and that has not worked. Can anyone help?

    Greetings Endatronix,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    I understand that you are unable to download a song purchased on iTunes on your iPhone 6 and receive the error you describe (and show) in your question. We know that situations of this kind can be frustrating, but I don't have several suggestions for you.

    I would first check to see if the download was interrupted. The following article will guide you in this process.

    Resume interrupted iTunes Store - Apple Support downloads

    If the songs do not download, I suggest to try the download on a different network. For example, if you use the cellular network, you can switch from a Wi - Fi connection, or you can try another Wi - Fi network.

    Download your purchases past - Apple Support

    If you are still unable to download these songs, you can report the problem with iTunes Support purchases by following the steps in the next section.

  • My iPhone is locked after restoration icloud and didn't use icloud

    Hello

    So I bought a new iphone 6 s 64 gb a few weeks ago, I used it for 3 days and then I put it back in the box because I wanted to give it as a gift and today I connected it to iTunes I have restored and updated to the new ios and after that, I had the lock icloud with a yahoo email screen and I myself I had never even used yahoo I don't know not this e-mail even origin of the same if the iphone is new even I removed the plastic box so I don't think that someone used in front of me.

    IM panic I don't know what to do!

    * I used the app store - and the icloud was clean it was nothing there

    Help, please!

    Thank you!!!

    Unfortunately, while you are not using iCloud - your phone is. Unless you are the lucky guy who can skip this step, your phone is so activation locked after the use of three days. And if it isn't you who locked, it's even worse, cause then your chances to unlock are even worse.

    Fortunately if buy you a few weeks - you still have original and can call Apple for help. Just be received valid legit Apple dealer.
