When trying to add, delete, or sync any music in my iTunes I receive this error. "You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. iTunes could save your music library"

Or

I keep getting an error "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." in random times when I use iTunes. I said in random times because I don't get an error when I import files to the library or to my iPhone and even though I click on "Don't show this message again." I still get it after I restart my PC.

The itunes library file cannot be saved. you do not have enough access privileges

You possibly cannot update your itunes library

Solution 1

What i found whas that BT Cloud Sync had a lock on the iTunes ITL file and was always trying to sync it to the cloud. Because it was locked, iTunes could never update it and could never save it either. This can also be true for other applications that might be syncing files or backing them up.

NB 1:

In my C: Drive itunes music folder i had 900.tmp files, i have deleted these, could someone explain what these are for?

Those .tmp files means some other software has a lock on the iTunes Library.itl file. Every time you play a song, podacst, etc....itunes makes a tmp file, when it is done it renames it to iTunes Library.itl with the updated play count.

Something else has a lock on the ITL file, so itunes cannot rename it.
A common culprit is security software. If it is scanning the ITL file, tell it not to do that.

The iTunes library file cannot be saved. | Apple Support Communities

NB 2:

If you're an advanced PC user, get Process Monitor from SysInternals, Set it to monitor what is accessing iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx

What should i Do?

uninstall or disable BT cloud sync. If it is not this, you should use the SysInternals method to find out what program is locking the ITL file.

 Other Solutions (not tried)

• check permissions on the \My Documents\My Music\iTunes folder
• run iTunes as an administrator
• "Goto \My Documents\My Music\iTunes and right click on the iTunes Library file, select properties > then unselect Read-Only". 
  some times everything is set as read only
  

• The location of the iTunes Library file may be read-only or owned by a different user.
  
  Default locations:
  XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<login>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
  Vista: C:\Users\<login>\Music\iTunes

  Windows 7: C:\Users\My Music\itunes
  
  Right click the iTunes folder and choose Properties
  Look at the Attributes and see if Read-Only is checked.
  Uncheck it and click OK, at the apply to all subfolders and files prompt, make sure all subfolders and files is selected and click OK.
  
  If your iTunes library saves now you are done.
  If it does not you will need to try on each directory above the iTunes directory.
  
  Of course if you are not using the default locations you'll have to alter the path to the one you find in iTunes Edit->Preferences, Advanced tab.

• If the earlier suggestion didnt work, just delete the itunes library file "iTunes Library.itl" and re-open itunes.
  
  Default locations for the itunes library file:
  XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<login>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
  Vista: C:\Users\<login>\Music\iTunes

  Windows 7: C:\Users\My Music\itunes

  This solved it for me...
• - right click on music folder
  - click on properties
  - click restore defaults
  - welcome back itunes
• I had this same problem I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit.
  I found away to fix my problem
  If you go to the iTunes.exe
  C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe
  Right click on the iTunes.exe
  select "Properties"
  Click on "Security" Tab
  High Light your User Name
   ** I did not have "Full Control"
  I click on "Edit..."
  High Lighted my User and check "Full Control"
  Clicked "OK"
  Click "OK"
  And now opened my iTunes again and played my music with out getting that error anymore
• I finally got this fixed on my machine.  Windows 7, 64 bit.
  
  - Turn off UAC - User Account Control
  - Keep in mind this does turn off the protection provided.
  - Go to Control Panel, System and Security, Change User Acount Control settings.  Drag the slider down to never notify.  Restart your computer.
  
  Bingo bango, it worked!
• Hey! I just solved this issue myself. I hope this helps
  
  1. Right click over the iTunes Icon
  2. Select "Properties"
  3. Select Compatiblity
  4. Uncheck the box that says, "Run this compatiblity in mode for.."
  5. Apply
  6. Ok
  
  I really hope this helps!
• check privilages of iTunes.exe in your C:\Program Files\Itunes\ or C:\Program Files(x86)\Itunes\ folder

Answers from h.m.comp on ebay

400V 100uF 105°C electrolytic radial Capacitor

is this low ESR ?
No these are not low ESR caps.

do you have one that is, same specs. it is for a power supply in a tft monitor. i have installed this cap and the monitor is now working but i believe that it will not last unless i put a low esr one in. am i right?
Out of experience i can say that the big capacitor in power boards for LCD Monitors and TV's do rarely fail.
They are usually High temp/Long Life capacitors and usually outlive the smaller caps.
You will find the datasheet for this one here:
http://www.nichicon.co.jp/english/products/pdfs/e-pt.pdf
I do have a panasonic version of the 400v 100uf ,but again this is i high temp/long life capacitor too.

The big capacitor i swapped had spilt its guts so has definately gone.
High temp/Long Life capacitors = not ESR ?
so using this nichion capacitor should be ok?
Yes they will be ok for power supplies.I have used them many times myself.

I had a prestashop ecommerce shop installed using paypal and i was getting issues where i could not get a successful payment transaction when using PayPal. I asked the following

"This test you ran shows that the PayPal is working in your situation but I need a way to test if the IP I am using is blocked. I will use this for further test when the problem re-occurs. Please can you show me a website/utility/method of checking to see if an ip address is blocked by PayPal."

The test in the following response can be useful in diagnosing errors to do with PayPal connections.

Hi,

We have recently seen contacts from merchants whose host IPs got blocked by an ISP in-between PayPal and the host, effectively blocking them from reaching PayPal. we do not block these IPs ourselves, this is an issue outside the scope of our company.

You could execute ( or ask your network administrator to do so ) the following commands and send the results to your admin (or host) for further analysis, this will help them to find a definitive fix for this situation.

openssl s_client -connect www.paypal.com:443 ( or the endpoint -url- you use to connect to PayPal)

The IPs used by our systems can be found here :

This is my research on setermining which ESR meter i should buy.

What is the ESR of  a Capacitor?

There is a series resistor inside capacitor, using 100kHz to remove the impedance 1/(2*pi*F*C), the impedance become small, and we can then measure the true series resistor value.

A bad E-capacitor will have larger ESR and create large ripple rather than filtering noise. Normally, a big capacitor is larger than 3 ohm.

Using this theory, we can measure the capacitor is bad/ damaged or good in condition.

Because our ESR meter only applies less than 15mV DC or peak to peak on a good capacitor, as a result we can use it as in circuit test. Because this low testing voltage, it cannot turn on the semiconductor inside a circuit under testing.

During repairing TV, LCD, Audio board, etc. we can in circuit testing the capacitor is good or not.

What is an ESR Meter for?

Firstly, what is an ESR Meter? An ESR Meter is used to measure the internal resistance of a capacitor. This feature allows you to measure a capacitor in-circuit and determine if it is faulty by its resistance. This make diagnosis consumer electronics much easier because other wise to measure a capacitor you would have to remove it from the circuit which involves desoldering, test it and then resolder it back into the circuit if not faulty. This process will have to continue for all the capacitors on the board. With an ESR Meter you can check capcacitors in moments.

How They Work

A 100KHz sine wave is pushed through the capacitor at such a low voltage that no components are triggered (opened or closed) and the sine wave is measured. From this you can determine the internal resistance of a capacitor. This outcome is determined by several variables of the capacitor:

1. Capacitance
2. Can Size (Physical Size)
3. Rated Voltage
4. Series / Model
5. Manufacturer

As a rule of thumb, if the internal resistance is above 1Ω (ohm), the capacitor is faulty. This is definately the case in most consumer electronics.

Which Meter Should I Buy ?

This was a very tricky thing to find out. There are alsorts of devices that says they measure ESR. Many are not practical, acurate or cheap. Which ones have protection, which are easy to use and so on. I have research all the main ones you will; come across and i have made a little pros and cons of each one. I also at the bottom have put my recommendation and why. This will be the one i actually bought and used.

Jingyan MESR-100 V2

Pros

• cheap
• Range 0.001R to 100R
• Auto-Ranging In Circuit
• backlit LCD display
• Uses true 100 KHz sine wave to measure the ESR value#
• is pre assembled in a durable plastic case
• can be powered from USB with a Micro USB cable
• can be powered by batteries (2 x AA)
• Test cables are connected by standard 4mm Banana Sockets
• There is a matching Capacitor Meter (Jingyan M6013 V2 Capacitor Meter), this is also very well made
• Diode protections on the inputs - they will not prevent massive voltages ie 400V, i am unsure of the maximum it would protect against
• has a basic ESR tables printed on the case

Cons

• Diode protection on the inputs - you cannot check the internal resistance of a battery.

Other ESR Meter Notes

• everyone recommends MIB Instruments for buying stuff
• how do i check/discharge a capacitor before using this meter
• what is the largest voltage it is protected against (MESR-100 V2)
• LCR meters can measure ESR and are really expensive. They should only be bought by experienced engineers or when you know why you need one.
• longer test leads can affect accuracy and need to be special sheilded
• Standard test leads are 15cm, for longer test leads need special shielding to affect the EMI inference (MESR-100 V2)
• ESR meters need to be zeroed before use
• you cannot use ESR meters on live circuits or charged capacitors
• You must make sure you discharge a capacitor before testing its ESR

Different ESR Meters

During my research i cam across the following different brands of ESR meter

• Jingyan MESR-100 V2 (there is a matching Capacitance meter aswell) i bought mine from mib_instruments on ebay

Misc

• Atlas ESR and ESR+ Manuals

Some Other Notes

• Some good brands of LCR: Agilent, Mastech, UNiT
• Most ESR meters do not have protection on them and a charged capacitor will kill them
• Most LCRs do not have input protection on them because it affects measurements. A charged capactitor will kill a LCR (teardown thread) (video - jump to about 32:00))
• A lot of the decent LCR have ESR meters on them, but not all
• The UNI-T UT612 LCR has an ESR option on it and can be connected to a PC for logging.
• The Agilent 1703C has some input protection on it. See eevblog video and add time here
• The MESR-100 V2 uses a true sine wave at 100KHz to test ESR and has some diodes for protection (see eevblog forum post) but this prevents it from testing battery ESRs, this is fine by me because I want to test capacitors. A good write up
• You can test a batteries ESR with a an ESR meter to check if it is knackered (see crazy guy video + time)
• You need to discharge capacitors before testing. You can check with a multimeter for voltage or with a capacitance meter with protection to see if it is charged
• You can discharge a capacitor by
  • Using a screwdriver to short the pins, only use on small capacitors
  • Using a wire and a resistor (add dads link here)
  • Use a capacitense meter with an auto discharge feature
  • Use a peak esr60/esr70 to discharge the capacitor. These will only discharge capacitors up to 50V, if you connect greater that 250v (I am guessing) it will blow the meter
  • Notes – thread 1 how to discharge and bleeder resistor notes
• The atlas peak esr60/esr70 meters, and in particular the 70, have an auto discharge feature built in with audible alerts and gets some favourablie write-ups but as with the MESR-100 you cannot check battery ESR
• LCR check impedance, Resistance and capacitance (and ESR). This functionality is probably not included on a multimeter because to measure them the devices become fragile and should only be used by professionals
• If you have a spate ESR meter it makes testing capacitors on mass easier
• The MESR V2 seems to be the best cheapest ESR meter online that works
• Those really cheap ESR (+ do other things) that are not in cases work ok and you can add your own probes onto them and then zero them.
• Another straight ESR meter id the Blue ESR meter based on a design by bob barker. I have also heard of one made by a Russian guy call GO-ESR which also has some input protection
• my Mastech MS5803 as the preferred LCR/ESR meter in my lab ? mention on eevblog forum with the mesr100 right up, see link above

2 Types of Reballing Stencils

Q: What is the real difference between using the jig reball method and direct heating other than the large difference in cost?

A: The direct heat stencils don't last as long as the 90mm, if you're not extremely careful with them then they can last as little as 1-2 reballs before they need replacing. The 90mm stencils will never have to be replaced.

Kit

I have finally got around to sorting out the rest of the kit I need. But I need to questions answering and then it might be quicker if I could ring you.

Questions

1. There are 80mm and 90mm reball stations, am I correct that 90mm is the new standard to allow for larger chips?
2. The jigs do not do the smallest chips, how do you do those, by hand?
3. is the best reball station the scotle ht-80/90 and will it be suitable for going under an IR lamp on my scotle ir-360-pro ? I already have one of those big blue ones with the 2 handles but it is awkward to use.
4. is the scotle reball jig better than the honton
5. can 90mm jigs use 80mm templates as a general rule?
6. when using universal templates, do you use Kapton tape to fill the uneeded holes?
7. warranty, I can deal with you rather than sending back to china?
8. do your stencil packs come in separate bags Ie wii/xbox/playstation/nvidia etc.. ?
9. multi-meters with TC, are the TC sensors a standard connector?
10. what are ultrasonic cleaners used for?

I want to buy stencils and a station so I can do most chips without having to buy more stencils and there are/were a few sellers on ebay selling 500+ piece sets, I know you have mentions that you do not have such sets but could build one.

Answers From Karl (bgamods)

1. 90mm is the standard mate, 80mmis available but the prices are virtually the same and 90mm jigs are easier to use.
2. Small chips i do by hand or using a cheap small direct heat jig
3. The HT80/90 should be fine going under the IR head although i have never personally do this as i use a HR wand instead.
4. The scotle jig is better than the honton, the spiral design is better.
5. 90mm jigs cannot use 80mm stencils although the ht8090 spiral jig comes with 2 top stencil holders, 1 sized 80mm and 1 sized 90mm.
6. Yes i would recommend using kapton tape to block off unused holes when using universal stencils.
7. warranty will always be with me rather than china.
8. The direct heat come in separate bags but the 90mm stencils usually come in 1 large pack.
9. the TC connectors on the multimeters i have here are just standard.
10. ultrasonic cleaners are used for cleaning BGA, stencils, jigs etc, they can be used for much more though.

So far this is my wishlist

• external TC - perhaps a cheap multimeter one would be cool + it is a multimeter
• reball jig/station with all stencils
• Kapton tape (not sure what width as the stuff I got was to thin to do anything with)
• Hotplate with a cool zone (might get this late because of cost)
• non slip matt for manualy chip working
• magnifying glass
• pcb holder
• 6 in 1 bga rework tool set
• soldering iron tip cleaner
• scotle aluminium solder scraper / BGA Site Solder Remover Squeegee | eBay
• methyl ethyl ketone | eBay - for cleaning electronic areas, stonger than ISO Propanol
• silicon fixing paste (ie for capacitors, check types)
• INSAT (Honton) HT-1212 BGA Hot/Cold Plate (check for a new version, i think B)

  i love the tecnique used in the video but ther is no information on what he is using, what temperatures or methods, so the video is completely useless. do you have a better video showing more indepth of how he does the solderball removals and general usage of the machine.
  The temperature is set to 230 deg C. The solder is simply wiped off with a suitable squeege. We now have a device with a handle to remove the solder. It really is a very simple idea and method.

What I currently have

• scotle ir-360-pro
• kada SMD rework station (hot air + iron)
• kingbow flux
• some solder balls of various sizes
• tweezers of 2 types
• various small cheap wick
• some gootwick
• blue jig with handles (not sure if 80mm or 90mm)
• scotle ht8090 spiral jig (does 80mm and 90mm)
• Honton 90mm silver screw jig
• a small selection of universal templates
• aluminium tape (not bga specific)
• Arctic Cooling MX-2 Thermal Compound 8g Tube (ORACO-MX20001-BL) Artic AC Paste | eBay
• 20g Tin Solder Soldering Iron Gun Tip Cleaner Tinner Flux Lead Free Activator
  How To Use - http://youtu.be/J3OlDsKvzss , different manufacturer but the same way of using.
  what temperature should you set your soldering iron at when using this activator? - 180 deg Celsius should be fine. Don't try to overheat the iron tip during tinning as oxidation process goes faster and could give you opposite effect.
• BGA Site Solder Remover Squeegee - For wiping molten solder balls from a BGA chip easily.

  Description
  This is our solder remover squeegee fitted to an aluminium handle, and includes an extra silicone squeegee.
  
  After lifting a BGA from a PCB, the solder is completely liquidus and it is the right time to simply, squeegee the molten solder onto a clean area of the PCB to avoid using solder wick and soldering iron to remove the old solder.
  
  This method is very quick and is the gentlest by far, avoiding solder mask damage which is often the case when using the abrasive method with solder wick and soldering iron.

  Answers From the Manufacturer
  what is the operating temperature range of the squeegy?
  The silicone used will stand up to nearly 300 deg C.
  

  what temperature should you use it to remove leaded solder?
  For removing leaded solder, it is usually necessary to use around 230 deg C.
  
  what temperature should you use it to remove lead-free solder?
  For removing lead-free solder you will need to use around 245 deg C.
  
  what is the life expectancy of the squeegy, are there signs of wearing out?
  There is no limit to the life expectancy in my view. I hope I will live long enough to outlast mine.
