Can't open Itunes...Pease help me!!!!

Please help me,
I think I may have totally wrecked my itunes library!!!
I Upgraded to Itunes 9.0 from 7.7,
then realized that 9.0 needed to have Quicktime updated to 7.5.5 or higher,
and I didn't want to do that cause I was afraid of the compatibility issues with
FCP 6...
So this is where I think I may have really screwed up,
I moved the Itunes 9.0 application into the trash,
then reinstalled an older 7.7 version of Itunes,
and tried to open it.
It says "The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"
What can I do now?
I checked around on the internet,
and some people mentioned to rename the "library.itl" file,
but I can't even find a "library.itl".
Can someone please help me,
before I screw anything else up!
Thank You,
Todd

reload your start up disk, you will now have a doubled used meg count from the 2nd set of apps, but you will have the library set needed.
after restart, there will be recovered files in the trash. pull those out, your stuff should hopefully still be there.the "previous system" folder will be the (before reloaded) apps, I just moved those apps to the present apps folder.DO NOT, however, mess with anything related to system (library etc.)- I had done this many times)- throwing out the wrong items. whether recovery of data will be the big discussion. I'm fornunate- I only lost some time in my 'venture'

Is any one getting this error message, " Quicktime failed to initialize ( Error-2096) Quicktime is required to run itunes. Please uninstall itunes, then install itunes agian)
Now mind you Quick time starts up fine, I have no issues with that, but when I click on the itunes tab that error comes up. I have done everything I know but still can not get itunes to work, I have uninstalled quicktime and itunes and reinstalled it and still nothing, I am running windows XP Media Center Edition, service pack 3. Please some one help me, thank you.

Even though the following article is about the -2096 when launching the QuickTime Player, I'd start with it for your iTunes as well:
[Error -2096 message when opening QuickTime for Windows in Compatibility Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1875]
(If you do end up having to check the iTunes.exe compatibility mode tab too, be sure that no boxes in that tab are checked, not just the compatibility mode tab itself.)

Can't open iTunes! Help, please. Very frustrated

I need help. I tried Apple Tech Support. They walked me through all sort of steps after 45 minutes being on the phone, we were disconnected. You would think they would call me back! **** no. So here it goes. A month or so ago, when I connected my iPod to the computer, iTunes opened with a "new version" to download. Okay, It instructed me to delete all iTune programs on the computer. So, I did. BIG MISTAKE. When I try to download iTunes, a window comes up to "Repair" or "Delete". If I select Repair, I get a message; c:\Programs\iTunes\cdconfiguration\gcdrll.cfg. After I cancel that, I tried again. This time I picked "Delete". This time I get a message; c:\Programs\iTunes\cdconfiguration\getlasterror: 5. I can't get my iTunes back. I'm very upset as I have pruchased a lot of music. I can't do anything with my iPod. Can some one help me please? Sad that I can't get Apple to help.
I greatly appreciate any help you can supply me.
Thank you 8(

After setup I can't open itunes

After the setup I can't open itunes:( Please, help!

This sounds like your shortcut is still pointing to iTunes 7 (assuming you upgraded to version 8). Find the version 8 application and it should work.
The problem with the Mac version 8 is that it crashes consistently at startup, and the solution to that is ditching the new library files and reverting to the most recent version 7 library (copy from from the Previous iTunes Library directory and delete the date suffix).
There was a known issue with proxies settings in earlier versions of 7 that has apparently been reintroduced in version 8.
Way to go, Apple.

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.

TS1717 I can't open Itunes, I have an error that says says MSVCR80.dll is not found. I have tried twice to uninstall and reinstall but keep getting the same error message. Can anyone help?

I can't open ITunes, I have an error message that says MSVCR80.dll is not found. Is anyone able to help solve this issue for me. I have tried to unistall and reinstall ITunes twice but continue to get the same error message.

A msi file is short for microsoft installer. It normally is for installation, removal, and maintenance for a program. So iTunes.msi would be used for the updating of the program. For some reason it isnt finding this so we can't update, install, or remove it.
From what I have seen windows installer cleanup utility solved related problems before.
I found this forum about removing and installing a new iTunes. It was about someone who was trying to isntall iTunes, and was looking for msi file and asked for help. Using this should allow you to be able to install iTunes. It won't give you the msi file but will allow you to isntall iTunes over again.
This was what was said.
Another option in case you can't get an msi. (Or even if you can ... the msi's mentioned in the messages may be damaged rather than missing.)
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

go to the directory where the itunes librairy is stored (google search!). Select the file hit "command+i" on your keyboard or control click on the file and select get info. there is an option to either lock or ulock the file. unlock it. restart your computer and see if it works.

Hello bajura007,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update. I recommend following the steps below:
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
