Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

iTunes is on a locked disk or no write permissions.

I need serious help. I've tried just about everything I've read online.


When I try to run iTunes, it claims that iTunes is on a locked disk or that I don't have write permissions. I've went into the secutiry tab and such and gave myself full control, yet it still isn't working. It also won't let me unclick the "Read Only" box. I'm on Windows 7.


Thanks so much for any help!

iTunes-OTHER, Windows 7

I think you're in the wrong forum lol this is iTunes for Mac lol


Have you tried this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1866


open your itunes folder usually in C:\user\[your user name]\music\itunes select all items and select share with homegroup read/write


you must do this for all the files in iTunes folder as well as the iTunes folder itself
