Can't Open Library In iTunes

I have not been able to open up my library in iTunes. I tried to reinstall it, I did it successfully, it is the most updated version. I just can't open the window to see my songs. This is getting frustrating. Can anyone help?

yeah i plugged in my iphone to my computer and itunes does not even notice that i plugged it in.

  • 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

    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. Same message again. OS is 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 can not open iphoto and itune anymore

    anyone knows why i can not open iphoto and itune anymore/

    I have rerun the applications install dvd, but it has not corrected the fault. When I try to open iphoto's I have an error message that says You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
    Peter,
    the version you installed from the DVD is probably older than the version you used last with your library, so you need to update to the last version you used.
    I have tried to update to the latest iphoto 11 but it wont download. Any answers please.
    Where are you trying to download from? When you upgrade a version that is installed from the DVD, you need to update from the Software Update menu entry in the Apple-menu.
    Also, iPhoto has to be called simply "iPhoto", not iPhoto '11 or something similar and to be installed in the Applications folder. Otherwise it will not be recognised by the updater.
    Regards

  • "You can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac"

    Yesterday, Software Updater has installed something which required me to "close iTunes in order to complete the installation" - I can only assume it was an iTunes (or related) update?
    Now when I try to open iTunes, a window appears, stating: "you can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac".
    I have a Macbook (late 08) and am running 10.6.8
    I'm conscientious about keeping my software & apps up to date, so it should only be something very recent & I assume fairly minor...
    Any ideas??

    To anyone else who may have experienced this problem (I doubt that I'd be the only one):
    Over the past couple of days I have left my Macbook sitting idle for extended periods, put it to sleep, & also shut it down.
    This morning I tried to reinstall the same download that didn't work a couple of days ago & it has been recognised, installed & seems to run just fine - playing right now I'm happy to say!
    I suggest you try doing the same: ie. leave your machine sitting idle till it sleeps & shut it down, before you try the reinstall.

    I am trying to open up my iTunes from my iMac. It says "You can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac." What do I do? I've already force closed all other apps.

    Well, obviously the problem isn't with the other apps, it's with the type of Mac you have. What type of Mac do you have?

  • Can't open the application "iTunes" because it may be damaged or incomplete

    Out of the blue today, iTunes showed up with a gray X over the icon in the dock, and when I try to open it, I am told, "You can't open the application "itunes" because it may be damaged or incomplete. I've looked around for ways to reinstall or repair itunes, but only come up with solutions for PC, but nothing for mac. Thank you!

    Perhaps try updating to version 11.1.5.5, using a .dmg installer downloaded from the Apple Website:

  • Can not open ipod in itunes and a little lock is showed on the bottom

    how do i unlock my ipod in itunes because i can't open it and can't view the files on the ipod and only on itunes...how do i unlock my ipod???? please help

    The lock icon indicates that iTunes is set to synchronize to your iPod automatically, which means that you do not manage the tracks directly on your iPod, you make changes in iTunes itself. If you want to manage your iPod directly, change the iPod Options in iTunes to manually manage your iPod. To do this, connect your iPod and click the iPod Options button at the bottom of iTunes (or right-click on the iPod icon if you have iTunes 7). Click the Music button and select "Manually manage songs and playlists." You can then delete tracks directly from your iPod (they will not be correspondingly deleted from iTunes). You'll have to drag songs from your library or playlist to iPod in the Source list to add new tracks.

  • HT1926 I was loading an update to my i-Tunes for my computer and got an error message and now I can not open my computer itunes and may have lost all the content. What do I do?

    I got a request from apple to update my itunes and while uploading the update, the program gave an error message and now I can not open my itunes and fear that all my music etc is gone?  what do I do to correct this problem?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • How can i open a UK itunes account to buy radio edit versions of songs?

    My seven year old likes pop tunes that on USA itunes have profanities. The UK itunes offers readio edit versions of these songs with the original artists. I tried to purchase these versions but could not with a US itunes account. Then when I try to open a UK itunes account I can's due to my USA address. Any way around this problem? Or better still any way USA itunes could offer the same clean versions by original artists that the UK itunes offers?
    Kaytha Clawson

    To be able to buy from the UK store you will need a valid UK billing address and be in the UK when buying from it. You can try requesting that the versions that you want be added to the US store, but ultimately it's the record companies that will have to grant Apple licenses to sell them there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Are they available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?

  • I STILL can't open my upgraded itunes!

    Hi,
    I've downloaded the new itunes with the quicktime and now my itunes will not open. I have tried everything: reinstalling it all, installing the standalone quicktime and turning off my Norton stuff. I've tried the msconfig and it worked, but when i put the mormal setting back on, my itunes wouldn't open again.... is there something i'm missing? please help, i'm going crazy! haha

    For God sake!
    I´m in the same situation; I´ve alredy uninstall and re- installed iTunes, the same for Quicktime... I´ve did it with the anti-virus software turned on and off... I´ve already checked all the folders that have somethings related with the program and have turned "off" the "read only" button...
    unfortunatelly... nothing had worked... I still can´t open the iTunes... every time I double click the icon on desktop... or the one in the program folder, the "pointer" turns into the sandclock for a couple of seconds and then... nothing, absolutelly NOTHING happens!!! ****!
    Is there any way for the people at Mac check the programming or at least that let us (the ones who have an older iPod version) to get again the older iTunes version?
    PLEASE!!!!
    Thnx!

  • IPhoto suddenly crashing; reinstalled; now can't open library . 8.1.2

    My iPhoto suddenly started to crash upon startup (missing a FaceRecognition library component?) It's been working fine for a couple of years - not sure what changed (a bad update??)
    I reinstalled from the original disk that came with my Mac (had to reinstall all the apps - for some reason it wouldn't let me just reinstall iPhoto.)
    But now it will start to run, but stops, saying it can't open the photo library (as it was modified by a newer version?) I ran System Update a couple of times, but there are no updates available.
    I'm running iPhoto 8.1.2 on OS 10.6.7.
    What can I do?

    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 Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    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. .
    Regards
    TD
