Question : Problem: "iTunes library file is locked" error

iTunes was locked up, so I Forced it to quit.  The next time I tried to launch the program, I got the following error.

"The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."

I verified that the permissions were correct (Read/Write) and even repaired permissions but to no avail.

I am running OS X 10.4.10 on a G5 iMac.  iTunes version 7.3.  Thanks!

Try this:

1. Move (not copy) your iTunes library data file to your desktop.
2. Start iTunes - your play list will be empty
3. Quit iTunes and copy (not move) the data file from step 1 into the iTunes folder
4. Start iTunes
