iTunes keeps returning error 54 in Windows 10 - HELP!!!!

Hi

These are the instructions I've been following. Each time I uncheck the "read only " box Windows reapplies the setting. I am logged in as Administrator and have checked that I have full rights. The laptop is authorised in iTunes. I have compared the settings
with my sons iPod on another computer and they are the same (box checked as read only) only his iPod synchronises perfectly.

I have exported the library and described and then re-imported the file. Should this be done before or after Method 1? I have tried each option but it seems to make no difference.

Thanks

Stuart

Hi Stuart,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I see that you are facing issues regarding sync with iTunes and keeps returning error 54. It's possible that iTunes folder is set with Read Only permission, which means Windows will allow it to sync with the device you have plugged in. Typically, the iTunes
error -54 is relating to authorization issues or administration issues.

If you are facing with this error right now, follow the solutions here to go:

• Make sure that you have authorized your computer from the iTunes. If not, you can authorize the computer by going to Store Tab and click on the Authorize this computer. it will ask for your iTunes account password. Enter it and
  it will do it.
• Also always run the iTunes in administrative mode. Just right click on the icon and select Run as administrator.
• The other issue you mentioned about the synchronizing. Here is what you have to do.
• From iTunes go to files and then export. When the next window comes, save the library.xml file anywhere on the computer, preferably on desktop.
• After closing iTunes go to iTunes folder on the C drive and delete two library files that are there.
• Restart the iTunes are doing that. This time your library will be empty.
• Go to file menu again and this time import the file that you saved on the desktop.

Windows 10 and Itunes sync error 54

I keep getting the error message that my Iphone can not sync because of error 54. I've done a lot of web searching and tried all of the following solutions: reinstalling itunes, deauthorizing the computer and reauthorizing it, right clicking on the Itunes
folder. The issue keeps happening. Another thing I have noticed is that my right clicking solution keeps being undone when I reboot my computer.

Has anyone had this issue and tried something other than what I listed above to fix it?

I have Windows 10 and IOS 9.2.

Thanks!
