Can't open itunes 7.4

Hi,
I have an Apple Mac OS 10.4.11, dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5, 2.25 GB DDR SDRAM. I have Itunes 7.4. For years it has run just fine. Now when I try to open up iTunes it says the following: "The file 'ITunes Library' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of Itnes." I've never installed any itunes software newer than 7.4. itunes 7.4 is the latest software that will run on my mac, from what I can understand, unless i were to upgrade to 10.5. Why am i getting this error message? What can I do to fix this? Thanks in advance!

I don't know why it would say that.  Perhaps the library file is corrupt and iTunes thinks it is a newer version?
Have you installed any other software that in any way would interact with iTunes?

  • I can't open iTunes, dialogue says I need QuickTime 7.5.5.

    I can't open iTunes, dialogue says I need QuickTime 7.5.5, but when I download the upgrade it won't install over my QuickTime Pro 7.2.1. How do I upgrade QT so it'll be compatible with my iTunes?

    BDA and TMM,
    Excellent thanks. I've got iTunes working now, after downloading the latest version of iTunes by clicking Software Update from the Apple menu. And I downloaded QuickTime 7.7 from the links you recommended, BDA. For some reason I'd been unable to locate the latest QT for Leopard no matter how hard I tried—it was probably staring me in the face all the while.
    Much appreciated,
    -Rob

  • CAN'T OPEN iTunes, get message "can't open Error (-50)?

    Can't open iTunes, get error message (-50)?

    The 50 when launching iTunes can indicate a damaged Apple Application Support. So first I'd try a Repair install of your Apple Application Support.
    Restart the PC. In your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select Apple Application Support, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Does the repair install go through okay? If so, does itunes launch without the (-50)?

  • I can not open iTunes. It started when an upgrade appeared. Now I get this message when I try to open itunes. can not find MSVCR80.dll     Then I get ERROR 7 (windows error 126)   I tried reinstalling iTunes but that did not help. Please Help Me!

    I can not open itunes on my computer. It started when an upgrade appeared. Now I get a message that states This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. I tried to reinsall the application but it did not help. I also get a message iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes   Error 7 (Windows error 126)   Please Help me!

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • HT1926 Latest iTunes software wont completely download and now I can't open iTunes at all?

    Hi!   I really hope someone can help me with this-
    iTunes just had a popup that there was new software to install, so I chose the update to iTunes.  The download was almost finished, but then it stopped and said there was a problem with the download (obviously) and to try to install it from within the program.  Fine by me.  Only, I can't open iTunes now??  It tells me that, "The item refered to by this shortcut cannot be accessed.  You may not have the appropriate permissions." 
    I'm not even going to try and pretend that I know what that means, lol.  I searched my entire computer for iTunes and every shortcut/folder/etc with 'iTunes' in it gives me an error message of some sorts.  D:
    I even tried to re-download iTunes from this site, but it gets halfway and then gives me error message 2324. 
    What do I do from here?  I really don't want to uninstall iTunes (if it even still exists on my computer) because I'm afraid I'll all the modified song information that I just spent literately hours updating last week.  >_<
    -Sica

    Similar problem here.  iTunes11 notified me it was available.  However, auto-update failed.  So, I downloaded for manual update.  That failed with "permission" message.  I am administrator on this machine (WIN7).  I tried uninstalling old version, but it failed with same permission issue.  I now can't start iTunes... throws permission message.  So, I'm completely dead in the water.  Does this stuff get tested before it's shipped?

  • "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?

    "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?

    this just started w/ me yesterday.  I was running 10.5.3, and nothing changed - the message just appeard out of nowhere.  I update to the latest iTunes 10.6 but the message is the same.
    Sounds like probably some sort of Library file corruption.
    The two options available in the message box are "Download" and "Quit".  Download is useless because I'm already running the latest.  Quit is pretty useless.
    I was going to just create a new Library and re-import all my music.  Of course, all my iPhone sync settings are going go have to be recreated.

  • I can't open iTunes in Windows 7

    I can't open iTunes in Windows 7 even I download the latest version.
    (iPhone is iOS 5.0.1)
    It's 64-bit Windows 7 and every time I clicked "Agree" in tthe software license, it doesn't work.
    Then the PC helping centre shows the following sentence:
    "iTunes can not work normally anymore.iTunes has the latest version to download, this will solve the problem.Apple Inc. suggest you to upgrade to newest version of iTunes, to improve the safety and stability."
    This shows for many times and I keep upgrade iTunes.How to  solve this problem?
    P.S. Sorry for any grammatical and spelling mistakes.The sentence is translated by me from Chinese, hope you can know what I mean.

    There are various things this could be. First restart you computer
    Check to see if you QUicktime works as iTunes can't work without it. If it doesn't work, describe what happens.
    Then run a virus and spyware scan as malware has been known to do this.
    Then check to see if disabling your forewall allows iTunes to start, this hasn't been seen for a while, but in the past firwall blocking has caused iTunes to hang.
    Then work through this Apple help on troubleshooting launch failures;

    I can't open Itunes on my mac. error 130001. how to fix?

    Hi gingerjacker,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Did you restart your Mac and try again?  Sounds simple, but it's a good first step when troubleshooting.
    If the issue persists you may need to delete iTunes from the Applications folder and download a fresh copy.  This does not affect your iTunes library, which is in a different location.
