[QUOTE="mikepark, post: 995543, member: 143227"] I have been trying to find a solution to this problem for months (heres to hoping for an Apple update fix). Thanks memopad for a successful solution. Also, I found that the iTunes Library Genius.itdb file can stay. It seems to be just files with the extension *.itdb-journal that cause the problem. This includes any other files with that extension, not just Genius files (eg, I had to delete the file iTunes Extras.itdb-journal). As far as I can tell, the problem is with the journaling function of Mac OS formatted drives (HFS+), which windows format drives (such as FAT32 and DOS) do not support. My drive was a network attached FAT32 drive, accessed from a Mac, however NAS HFS+ drives worked fine, and the FAT32 drive had the same problems when connected directly via USB. It would seem that this problem would be specific to a setup with a non-HFS drive used by iTunes run from a mac. [/QUOTE]
