I just got a new Macbook pro. I copied my iTunes music folder and library files to my new computer Everything seems to be working perfectly fine.

The problem arises when I try to delete a  It appears to work fine, then I get a message saying "Error 12001: Itunes library cannot be saved. an unknown error occurred." The songs do appear to be deleted. They are not in iTunes, and they appear in the trash, however, they do remain in my iTunes Music folder, even thought I told iTunes to remove them.


I thought it might be a permissions problem, but the permissions on everything look correct, and repairing permissions didn't help.

My one thought is that the user accounts on my old and new computers have the same name, so perhaps that's why the permissions appear to be correct even though they're not. Could that be it? How would I go about fixing that?


Also, possibly related but possibly not: iTunes occasionally disappears from the icons that appear when I press cmd-tab, even though I know it's open (there's music playing!) and the dock shows it to be open. wtf?

Thanks in advance for all your help
