Cyclic redundancy error when copying backed up files into Itunes

Files with cyclic redundancy errors means these files are corrupted and cannot be copied. Since you cannot copy these files from your faulty hard disk again then these songs are lost and you need to download them again.

It is an "armored" disk. "Government grade" disk. With encrypted codes.

This means that if you are not the original purchaser of the disk with the right software and password, There is no way you can access it.

It cannot be formated, erased or accessed.

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

1. Open Finder. Goto Music > iTunes > and locate the following files.

iTunes Music Library.xml
iTunes Library.itl

2. For each file:

Right click on each file.
Click on Get Info
Under the Sharing & Permissions Tab: Make all the Privileges 'Read & Write'.
Close the Get Info box

Open iTunes again.
This worked for me on Snow Leopard.

Xbox error 06

if it has the stock bios imma guess you locked the hard disk drive with the old hard disk key. and if you did that its going to give a error code six. error code six means the xbox cannot unlock the hard disk. either reflash your bios or install your old hdd back in, get the eeprom info, find a tool by teamassembly "cant remember what its called but it takes your eeprom and creates a custom key for that specific hard disk drive" i dont use that **** anymore tho because i have my **** flashed with a bios that isnt so anal about locked hard disk drives, but you may need to go back to the old hdd first and reflash it with a different bios instead of doing the hdd lock code ********. if u want my opinion on a good bios go for ind bios 5003. try xbins

If the My Music folder is in the wrong location or incorrectly assigned in the Windows registry, you may see one of the following error messages:

"The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder."
"The folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the Music folder."

If you see one of the above errors, follow these steps to troubleshoot this:

Verify the location of your Windows XP My Music folder. The default location for this folder is
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music
If you do not have this folder at the default location and have not moved it to another location, consider creating one inside your My Documents folder.
Download and install Tweak UI from the Microsoft PowerToys website at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Note: This utility is for Windows XP only. Please review the system requirements before installing.
Once you have installed Tweak UI, open it from the Start menu.
In the column on the left, click on the plus symbol (+) next to My Computer and select Special Folders.
In the right pane on the Folderlist, click My Music.
Click the Change Location button. You may see a warning message appear with precautions for changing this setting; after reviewing the message, click Yes.
In the resulting window, browse for the My Music folder as described in step 1, and click OK. Disk is Locked Error - ht1866_03.jpgloads/images/ht1866_03.jpg" alt="ht1866_03.jpg" class="h_mi" />
