I'm having this same problem. I tried to share the folder and that didn't seem to help. When I click on Properties for my iTunes folder, it says it is Read-Only. I uncheck that and let it apply to all the items in the iTunes folder. When I click on Properties again on iTunes, it shows that it is Read-Only again. Any idea on how to fix this? This is very frustrating not being able to load iTunes...

Any help is appreciated!
