Itunes library not compatible with new version of iTunes??

hey guys and gals,
when i open itunes, it opens a message saying:
"the file 'itunes library' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"
can anyone help me because I have a **** of alot of music with every information and album art for each song.
thanks in advance,
Dean

I have run into the same problem. Like others here I could get to my library and playlists via the finder. Next I tried re-creating my iTunes library and playlists as described by Article HT1451. This process is easy enough but takes some time if you have a large library. Once I finished the re-creation process my iTunes opened without any problem from the iTunes icon. However if I opened iTunes via the finder, then opening iTunes from the icon went back to the old error message!! Fixing it required another re-creation process. Like others my music and video files are on a separate hard drive. Looks like a bug Apple needs to fix. In the meantime stick with either the icon or the finder but not both. Hope this helps.

  • The shared library is not compatible with this version of itunes

    I have a G3 running Jaguar (and iTunes 6) that hosts my MP3 collection. Until recently, this worked great as a shared library, happily showing up in iTunes on other machines on my network, including my Powerbook.
    Then I got iTunes 8 on my MacBook Pro.
    Now, when I try to access it from my MBP with Leopard, I get the message "the shared library Nick's Music is not compatible with this version of itunes".
    Can I somehow run an older version of iTunes as well as v 8.0 on Leopard?
    Is there another program that can access that library and run on Leopard?
    Any other solutions?

    I solved it myself...What I did was to backup the old library, run iTunes 6 to create a new library, move that new library, edit iTunes 6 preferences to use the library in it's new location, then restore the iTunes 8 library to it's original position.

  • This AE is not compatible with this version of Itunes????

    Hello forum! i just setup a TC with two AE with air iTunes. They both work excellent with the sort pauses. Today i decide to run the Ethernet cable to each AE. Did the setup as commanded, i just tested it with a Macbook and MacbookPro and both work fine no more lack(yey). Everything is up to date TC 7.5.1 and AE 7.4.2.

    i have the lasted iTunes on the pc( re-downloaded twice today)
    or
    if i just select the AE that give me the error work's fine, but when i add the second one it says it been used by someones else.
    please help.......
    Any help would be much appreciated!!

    Hello qqnicol,
    What program do you run?
    Please contact the software provider to confirm if this 32-bit program can run in 64-bit Windows.
    As some programs can only run in specific version of Windows, please download the right version of software.
    Most programs designed for the 32-bit version of Windows will work on the 64-bit version of Windows. Notable exceptions are many antivirus programs.
    Device drivers designed for the 32-bit version of Windows don't work on computers running a 64-bit version of Windows too.

  • The AirPlay device is not compatible with this version of iTunes.

    I can no longer connect one of my Air Port devices. I continually get the same error message.
    "The AirPlay device “Bedroom” is not compatible with this version of iTunes."
    Bedroom is the name I gave the device. I just updated my Itunes, and it shows "bedroom" as a multi speaker option, but wont connect. I'm not tech savy at all, just frustrated. Please help.
    Brian.

    Restarted everything twice. Now it works. Don't know how or why, but at least it's on now.

    I have the newest version of iTunes i.e. 7.0.2 and an Airport Express base station with all my software updated.

  • This movie requires QuickTieme, that is not compatible with this version of iTunes

    I have a problem to play a movie, in some titles. 
    Error: this movie requires QuickTieme, that is not compatible with this version of iTunes (version installed on my iMac 11.0.1).

    Make sure your iTunes software is up to date.
    Launch iTunes. Then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen, click iTunes > Check for Updates ...
    Apple just released the 11.0.5 update yesterday which includes bug fixes.

  • Remote Speakers are not compatible with this version of iTunes

    My problem is simple to describe but seemingly impossible to fix.
    When I try to play music from my MacBook to my Airport Express I get this error "Remote speakers x are not compatible with this version of iTunes." I have been using this computer and AX in the past without problem but I can't remember exactly when this issue started so I'm not sure if it coincided with an update to either iTunes or AX.
    I am running up-to-date iTunes and AX firmware (8.0.2 iTunes, 7.3.2 AX), have restarted both machines multiple times, and reinstalled iTunes and reuploaded AX firmware. Here's the kicker: my roommate's MacBook running iTunes 8.0.2 works with the speakers perfectly.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Yes! Turning back on ipv6 and setting it to "auto" worked for me. Really strange - trying to get this to work for months (on and off) - almost tossed it - thank you very much!

    Airport Extreme Base Station "chained" to 2 Aiport Express Remotes. All connections are fine. Have internet on remote Macs. Airport Admin utility displays all three airport units, but I'm now unable to broadcast to the remote Express hooked up to my stereo in adjacent room. Have done this many times in the past without problem, but not in past couple months, so can't say if it broke with 7.1 or 7.1.1, but I get this message from iTunes:
    The remote speaker "Living Room Speakers" is not compatible with this version of iTunes.
    Prior to restarting iTunes (and being sure all Aiport station firmware was up-to-date, I was getting the message that no speakers were connected (double-checked all speaker and stereo connections), but now just the "not compatible" message.

  • Remote speaker not compatible with this version of iTunes?

    Hello,
    I have the newest version of iTunes and an Airport Express through which I play music.
    After upgrading to the newest version of iTunes, a window appears stating that my remote speakers are not compatible with this version of iTunes when I try to select the remote speakers as my audio output.
    What does this mean and how can I fix the problem? How can my speakers not be compatible with iTunes when all I have is an optical cable from my Airport Express going into the back of my home theater receiver?
    Cheers,
    --VesaM

    You'll get this error if the version of firmware on the AirPort Express is incompatible with the version of iTunes you are using. Make sure you have the latest base station firmware (6.3) and the latest iTunes (7.0.2).

  • Speaker not compatible with this version of Itunes

    Suddenly, I am getting this message when selecting my remote speakers..."Family Room" speaker is not compatible with this version of Itunes. I have re-installed an older version of Itunes, updated my firmware on my airport express and even recreated my wireless network...nothing works so far.

    I am having the same problem from my wireless PC where I just installed the latest version of iTunes for the first time. My hardwired PC works. I wonder if I have to disconnect from the hardwired PC before I can connect with the wireless?

  • I can't update my Pages'9 4.3 and its not compatible with newer versions???

    Hi
    I have had no problems with my Pages 4.3 which i installed a year ago, until the last month or 2. I have the app on my ipad but when i send pages docs from my ipad to my computer my computer tells me that i have an older version of pages and it wont open it, somethimes i can open but only view. I have Lion but cant pgrade my computer any further than that now since its an older machine now. So how can i work this on both? and why can i down load an application las year for it to be soo out of date that it doesnt function properly now?? realy fed up with appl about this, its causing me massive probems with my course work. I'm obviously now going to buy a whole new mac book to use pages. Any add ons or patches available for this combatibiluty issue? or anyone else have this problem?

    IT could be that your iPad had upgraded to newer Pages or it can be that iCloud has. Send you documents through other channels like Dropbox or Mail

  • The remote speaker is not compatible with this version of iTunes.

    I have been having a lot of trouble setting up my Airport Express, so I upgraded to iTunes 7.3.2 (I was using iTunes 6). Now I am getting the incompatibility error.
    I've read through most of the threads regarding this issue and done what they said. My Airport is almost brand new, so I was already using firmware 6.3.
    I've configured it with both utilities while it's connected via ethernet to my modem (a 2wire wireless modem/router from ATT) and also tried while connecting it to my PowerBook G4.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Kevin

    So I called customer support and the guy helped me figure out the problem.
    The Airport had been working when it was a network all by itself. The problem came when I put it in client mode under my 2wire modem/router.
    So he advised me to open up port 192 to let iTunes talk through my router to my Airport.
    So I pulled up my 2wire configuration and went to Firewall then added an application with all port 192-192 as the range and added that to be allowed with my airport when it's connected to my 2wire.
    Now everything seems to be working fine.
