I have a Windows 7 PC, which used to work fine on iTUNES.
Sep 23, 2018 The iTunes Library Genius.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file. Hi I have downloaded the latest iTune Software on Windows 7. I went to open the file and it won't execute, I small box keeps popping up with this message:- 'The iTunes library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file'. I have tried to change the permission but nothing happens. Export the “iTunes 4 (or the one with a number) Music Library” and “iTunes Music Library.xml” folder and file from your Music/iTunes folder to the computer desktop. Delete the original items from the folder so that you are left only with a folder called “iTunes Music”. Now deploy iTunes.
I recently added a NAS to my network and tried copying my Music files to the NAS. This did not work particularly well, and I am still troubleshooting this. I also tried installing a DNLA client to allow my NAS to work with PS3 devices and other streaming devices other than my PC
I decided to revert the MUSIC library back to my C Drive from my NAS drive
Since doing this, when I click on my iTUNES shortcut I get this message
'The iTunes Library Extras.itdb file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file'.

When I right click on the iTunes short cut and use 'Run as Administrator' iTUNES run as normal.
I have seen archives of this problem, but I do not understand how I can resolve the problem. My Music folder, and the iTunes library appears to show my user profile has full access instead of Read only access.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, which has not changed anything. I am using 10.6.1 latestest version of iTunes.
