Hi,
so when I upgraded to lion my user account had some glitches so I made a new user account and copied a bunch of things from the old library to the new one.. just stuff like the Mail folder and preference files, FireFox, some Application Support folders, etc.. anyway everything was going swimingly doing this to get something that works, untill itunes decided to be the one little b@#% that didn't work with the old files.. In fact.. iTunes was the only thing that didn't work in doing this..
iTunes under the new user account now issues the message 'The folder iTunes' is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder.' I click ok and then iTunes quits.
What are all the files I should try deleting to get iTunes to just let me start fresh with it? Clearly something is trying to point to some folder from the old user account.

2. iTunes Restore Errors
3. iTunes Sync Errors
