Transferred iTunes library from pc to new mac, iTunes ; however, when opening iTunes on mac it reports the library was created with a newer version of iTunes and won't open.
Transferred Itunes library from pc to new mac; however, when opening itunes on the new mac it reported that the library was created with a newer version of itunes and could not be opened. It asked if I wanted to download updates and I did. However, the new mac is up to date. Itunes won't open. What to do now? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello, Stephen.
Thank you for the question. You will need to rebuild your iTunes library file in order to open an older version of iTunes. Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process. Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

Iphoto library was created with a trial version, open version 2 or 4.....
hi, i apparently have an older version of iphoto that thinks its the "guardian" to all of my iphoto pics. i do have iphoto six, but when i try to open it, it says that the iphoto library was created with a trial version of iphoto, and that i should open version 2 or 4 to use that library. i can find no way to open version 6, nor can i find version 2 or 4. is it possible that i accidentally deleted these? and how can i get them back, so i can upgrade to version 6? thanks
I am having almost the same problem! I am not sure what happened to trigger this, but one day, I tried to open iPhoto, and it said that "This library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto. Please open library with iPhoto 2 or 4." I have been runing iPhoto 5 for the past year!
I jsut bought iPhoto 6 today, hoping that if I installed the latest version, it would fix all of the issues. Well, it didn't! I can't even hold down shift+option when launching the application...once the library is selected, i get the same error message as before.
Can anyone help me PLEASE!!! i'm going to Maui next week, and need to get all of the photos off my camera before i go! -
I have a new Mac and I migrated mi old one to this. I can not open iTunes because a message stating "iTunes Library.itl" can not be opened because it was created in more recent version of iTunes. There is not a new version to download. How can I fix this?
Go to iTunes > about iTunes. What version are you running? If necessary, hold down the option key while starting iTunes and create a new, test library so it will start.

My computer is reading "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of iTunes." I need help ASAP! Did I lose all my music?
Unless you deliberately downgraded iTunes this may be a sign of a corrupt library. SeeEmpty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

When i open itunes it gives me the option to download the new version 10.3. my computer will not support 10.3. i can't by pass the download to continue with my current version of itunes. i've trashed and reinstalled 8.2.1 twice. any solutions?
I am in the same boat. I tried repeatedly to contact iTunes support, but was told each time that I had contacted the wrong deaprtment and they could not help me. There must be a way to still be able to use the iTunes store without paying for a system update. If not, I hope they will reimburse me the money I have in my acount.

"the photo library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto"
Help!
I think this all started with an onscreen message telling me I had a trojan. I downloaded a free copy of mac scan. This later asked me to subscribe. I could not get rid of the message except by switching off the computer, (I was tired and desperate), so I did.
I later tried to transfer photos from my camera to the the computer - it would not allow me - said it did not recognise the files.
Later tried to open iPhoto and it said "The photo library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto. Please quit and upgrade this library by opening it in iPhoto 2 or iPhoto 4."
What have I done? How can I undo/rectify this???
JaneIf Larry's fixes don't wortk then Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I have a late model 2008 13" MacBook that was running OS X 10.5.8 when the hard drive failed 2 weeks ago when I was traveling in Canada. I found a Mac repair centre and they replaced my 250GB with a 500GB hard drive and transferred my data. (Yeah!!!) I'm now on OS X 10.6.8 (which is great as I guess I should be able to sync my iphone on IOS 7 with my laptop again.... but I digress...)
I haven't been able to access my photos as I get the message "The photo library was created with an unreleased version of iphoto. Please quit and upgrade this photo library by opening it in iphoto 2 or iphoto 4" when I try to open it. I can see my photos when I look on Photo Browser in Mail so that's good - they are here... I looked through past messages with this problem and saw that the advise was to download iphoto Library Manager. I want to be certain I don't mess anything up so the questions are:
1. What version of iphoto Library Manager should I download - I had OS X 10.5.8 and my iphoto library was ... (sorry - can't find out what it was, guess it's now 7.1.5)
2. What do I do after I've downloaded IPLM?
Many thanks ahead of time for any assistanceI backed up my iPhoto Library to an external drive even though it looked way to small to hold all my photos. I have tried several times to open iPhoto whilst depressing the option and command keys but get the same message again:
"The photo library was created with an unreleased version of iphoto. Please quit and upgrade this photo library by opening it in iphoto 2 or iphoto 4" Behind this, the little wheel is turning and it says "Loading Photos" (but it doesn't).
I've got to access these photos for a project deadline that's looming so any help would be really appreciated. -
"Photo Library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto."
Here is what happened:
I had OS 10.3.9 with iLife '04
Installed iLife '05
It all worked great for several months.
Installed Tiger and I get "Photo Library was created with an unreleased version of iPhoto." The error also says "Please quit and upgrade this library by opening it in iPhot 2 or iPhoto 4."
Is this normal? Does anyone have any bright ideas before I rip everything out and reinstall iLife? Thank you for your help!Hi issam,
So far I have not seen any solution for that error message in these discussions. If you have a recent backup of your iPhoto Library folder then take the old library out of the Pictures folder and put your backup library in there (I suggest you backup the backup before you do this) Launch iPhoto and hopefully everything will be back to normal. If you don't have a backup then...
The only thing I can tell you to do right now is to create a new library and import/add to the library to reimport your images.
these are the steps:
Close iPhoto
Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto
In the next window that opens choose to create a new library.
When the new empty library opens go to File/add to library
In the next window navigate to the library on your desktop and choose it.
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
You will have to redo your albums, keywords, etc.
Good luck! -
my iphoto 8.1.2 operating system 10.6.8 can't open iphoto...error message says IPHOTO LIBRARY WAS CREATED WITH AN UNRELEASED VERSION OF IPHOTO. PLEASE QUIT AND UPGRADE IPHOTO LIBRARY BY OPENING IT IN IPHOTO 2 OR IPHOTO 4?
Restore from your back up is the simple solution.
Failing that:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
