  • iTunes error: the library iTune .itl file is locked. On a locked disk or you do not write to this file permission

    Original title: iTunes

    I have just updated from XP to 7. I downloaded Windows Easy Transfer, but it wouldn't work if I copied all my files on my external drive myself.

    Once Windows 7 had loaded, I started to transfer them to my computer.

    I tried just down load iTunes 10.1.1 from the internet, and everything seemed to go ok.

    But iTunes is not working and I get the following message "the library iTune .itl file is locked. "On a locked disk or youdo not write permissionfor this file."

    I saw this message on iTunes support and it is said that the 'My music' folder is located in the default location in Windows XP.

    Does that mean I lost my music and what should I do to be able to access/download the iTunes player.

    I have songs on different drives so I have quite lost music. I am simply unable to play my iTunes library because I can't access the drive.

    Thank you.

    P.s. I'm not very good with computers.

  • Can't access my files (as if I have no write permission)

    Hello, it seems that all of a sudden, I came across a weird problem. These things happen:

    • Sticky Notes not be loading not
    • When you open iTunes, a pop-up "iTunes Library.itl file is locked on a locked disk or you do not have the write permission to the file.
    • Word documents cannot be replaced (but can still be edited/written in, newly made files after that this problem occurred can be overwritten as usual)
    • All of my passwords don't immediately fill up, and I'll stay not connected to Facebook etc, even though I already have so that they keep me connected

    It's weird because I checked my permission and my user has indeed permission write (has a tick on the left side under "Allow") and I tried the following:

    • System Restore (failed 0x80070005 because, even after the execution of SubInACL)
    • Downloaded and run the SubInACL file according to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/968003
    • Scanned for malware using AVG, only the rejected popped up

    All this has not fixed my problem. The only thing I don't have is make a new user and set my stuff here, but I hope that there is a less radical solution.

    Thanks for the help!

    EDIT: Also when trying to edit MP3 tags I get error 0x8007000D

    EDIT: I tried to put a word document in another user, but the same error is still present. I noticed that next to the title, 'Read only' is displayed even if I didn't it read-only (in their menu of properties click right, 'Read only' was checked). Looks like my other hard drive of the computer that is not affected by this error D:\

    EDIT: He's back to normal now, but I got that by unchecking 'Read only' manually. I don't know if it's a good idea if
