"Can't open...created with newer version of iTunes...Missing most of Songs!

I got this message. Followed instructions I found on Apple Support: Home-->Music-->iTunes. Dragged iTunes folder onto desktop. iTunes 8.2.1 opened but it was as if I'd never used iTunes before. It restored some of my music but very little compared to what I had. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and recently had my HD crash after trying to install OS10.7. Got a new HD, transferred files, etc. from ext. HD. Have had several problems since with HD corruption....Missing iPhoto pictures, too. Help!

Hello,
iTunes 8.2.1 is pretty outdated. Please go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install the current iTunes 10.2.2

Can't Open Files with new version 7.55.90.70

Just updated old Quicktime version 5 to 7.55.90.70. Now I get an error message when I try to open my Encyclopedia Britannica program that says "Quicktime is missing or incorrectly installed". It tells me to reinstall Quicktime from the Britannica installation CD. When I tried that, a message appears that a newer version of Quicktime has been installed and the CD can't reinstall version 5. So, it appears that the new version won't let me open the program unless I uninstall the new version and go back to the old version. That doesn't make sense. The new version 7.55.90.70 ought to support programs that used the old version. I have tried the fixes offered to repair the installed Quicktime with no positive result. Can someone provide advice? Thanks.

Im having the same problem too. I hope they could fix this

Suddenly I cannot open iTunes, the above message is what I receive. I have done a bit of trolling the web in an attempt to fix it, but still no joy, anybody out there......help,,!

Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Since you don't answer my last question, all I can do is point you to https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-error-1015-11001-update.html

Upgraded to 11.3.1 now can't open library. Won't read. I have an older iMac (2008). Message I get is: cannot be read because was created by newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?' ... so I do and it fixes nothing. OS 10.6.8

Thanks again. The option thing got me further than I've gotten thus far but when I went to choose a library I got that same message.
I do have options. I have 2 iMacs. I can still access my music through 'sharing' and download it onto my newer iMac. Trouble is it doesn't have a CD port and I like to burn. From what I've read about their new Mac portable CD/DVD drive, it's shaky at best. Incidentally, do you know of any drives that work well with Macs and cost less than $89.00?
I've figured out I can download a previous library from my old Mac then upload it from the new one which should put me back in business, but what do I do with the corrupt one that's there now, just trash it? Also, when I do the option key my other choice is Create A New Library. Should I do that and put the good previous library into it?
Thanks a million, I really appreciate your time. I'm an old fogey and computers often mystify me, especially when they lock me out of things for no apparent reason.

I have just just installed a new version of itunes. When i tried to run the new version it came up with the message "The file ituneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by newer version of itunes. Can anybody advise?

I have just just installed a new version of itunes. When i tried to run the new version it came up with the message "The file ituneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by newer version of itunes.
I installed the new version because itunes had not recognised my ipod nano 5G, and told me to reinstall. Itunes selected which version to install, so I don't understand what is going on. To add insult to injury it installed a pile of malware which I am still trying to get rid off.
Any advice would be helpful

Audio cd burn from 11.1 not playing on old version of iTunes on another MAC. error message was cd created on newer version of iTunes. If the disk was a audio cd it should not matter the iTunes version.

The error message was cd created on newer version of iTunes. If the disk was a audio cd it should not matter the iTunes version. I converted all songs on playlist to MP3 and then selected burn playlist and checked audio cd. This worked in itunes 11.0.5. Also itunes 11.1 will not accept the second disk on a cd audio burn. It just keeps telling me to insert a blank disk, no matter how many blank disks are inserted

I think that the operating system is 10.4.11 and iTunes isn't responding to this operating system. I cannot upgrade the operating system to a version any later than what it is as I think it would then go to Tiger.
10.4 is Tiger, and 10.4.11 supports the latest version of iTunes and QuickTime. So either the system isn't at 10.4.11 - your original post said 10.4.1 - or there's something wrong with the system in which case earlier versions of iTunes/QuickTime might well also fail to install.
Please confirm the version of Mac OS X that really is on the system and we'll go from there.

I have just reinstalled Itunes but i get an error message @cant read itunes library .jtl Was created by newer version of Itunes

I have just reinstalled Itunes but i get an error message 'cant read itunes library .jtl Was created by newer version of Itunes'
How do I fix?

Unless you deliberately downgraded iTunes at the same time this may be a sign of a corrupt library. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Is it possible to open AI files created with newer version of Illustrator?

I am still using AICS2; I've noticed that files created in newer versions without PDF content will not open; is there any workaround for this? I'm missing out on lots of nice stuff....

>is there any workaround for this?
Open them in the appropriate version. You can download a 30-day demo of Illustrator 14. You can also ask the supplier to down-save for you.

File iTunes Library.itl can't be read as created by newer version of Itunes

Recently did an update/download from iTunes - I assume version 10 - and since then can't open iTunes on computer and I get message the File "iTunes Library.itl" can't be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Please advise how I can rectify

In the event of no responses with an easier solution I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and associated programs and we are back working - hurrah!

Why can't I create a new version of a photo edited in an external application, without Aperture making a new copy of the newly created Tiff?

When Aperture creates a new version from a RAW file, no new master file is created. This makes total sense and I understand why.
When I edit a photo in an external editor (Photoshop CS6) from within Aperture, Aperture creates a Tiff file to edit in Photoshop and saves it along with the RAW original once I have finished editing it in Photoshop. I understand why this is necessary too. So far so good.
But if I then ask Aperture to create a new version from the newly created image edited via Photoshop, it creates another new Tiff. I can't see why this is necessary. Aperture should be able to apply further new Aperture edits to the newly created Tiff in the same way that it creates new versions from a RAW file without duplicating the master - by remembering any new 'recipe' changes applied to the Tiff. It only needs to remember the edits made as the Tiff already now exists.
Can I stop it creating repeat Tiff files each time I create a new version from the Photoshoped photos?
Thanks in anticipation.

Hello Kirby,
I clicked on the 'Show in Finder' and it revealed a new file called IMG_0961 (1) which goes with the original IMG_0961.CR2 and the edited new tiff created for Photoshop which was called IMG_0961.tiff
I noticed also that a separate version I had previously created using Canon's DPP stand alone software and titled by me IMG_0961 (DPP).TIF (same thing but from a different original) does not form a new master file when I create a new version of that one. I've tried this with a few images but when the original is edited in Photoshop via Aperture a second version of the Tiff is created for the 1st version of the image when I create a new version fo it.

Library Created with Newer Version?

I keep getting this dialog box when I try to open iTunes on my Mac ... says my library was created with a newer version of iTunes ... never had this problem in the six months or so I've had this Mac ... lotso music on there too, so I'm worried. Any ideas?

Did you ever get an answer from Apple Tech Support? I am having the SAME issue only I am on Windows Vista. iTunes said I had to download the 64 bit application, which I did. But when I try to launch the application, it won't let me because of the library error.

How can I sync a new Iphone 4s with an old 10.4.11 OS mac that can't update to the new version of itunes?

I have a Mac OS 10.4.11 that can't update to the newest version of Itunes. It does not recognize my new Iphone 4s. Is there other any way I can sync my phone? Apple support recommended that I update my Itunes from 9.2 to the new version but it won't install.

You cannot use an iPhone 4S with iTunes 9; you must have iTunes 10.5 or later, and that will indeed not run on Mac OS X 10.4. You'll need to upgrade your computer's OS to at least Mac OS X 10.5.8.
If, as Allan requested, you tell us your specific model of Mac, we can tell you what options you would have as regards compatible OS X versions.
Regards.
