  • ITunes will not open because library was created by newer version???

    I am still using iTunes 9.2.1 and am not ready to go with v10.
    I tried to open iTunes and got the message:
    The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
    I did notice that the last time I opened it, it looked a little different but went on with a sync of my 1st.gen AppleTV and then closed out.
    I have not downloaded and upgraded to the newer version 10.
    I have never had higher than 9.2.1 so I couldn't help but wonder if in some way I am being forced to go the newer v10.

    I have discovered this:
    I could not open iTunes as I previously stated in the normal method.
    However, it will open when I created a quicktime movie from iMovies and prepared it for iTunes. When I click on the quicktime movie to play it will open iTunes to play the movie. That is when I see the different icons, etc.
    I had something called ‘Ping’ to disable because I care nothing about that.
    It does not look the same as I am use to with 9.2.1.
    I went to the file menu> about> and low and behold it comes up ITUNES 10.
    Remember, I have not downloaded ver.10 at any point so it must have come through a back door somehow.
    So, I looked in my applications to see if iTunes app has changed. No, it still shows 9.2.1. I did a search in spotlight for iTunes 10 and nothing shows up. Go figure!
    I am not a happy camper at this time and need to hear from Apple about this.
    I am not ready to go to v10 and want an explanation.
    I am not ready to go with v10 because I wanted to see how it effects my 1st. gen. AppleTV.
    I don’t want to loose all the downloads I have on a device that I really like.
    The new AppleTV has no hard drive and thus stores nothing as I understand it.
    I have many TV programs purchased and stored from the History, Travel and Natl. Geographic, etc. channels.

  • Received this message: "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created bya newer version of Itunes

    I was trying to access ITUNES from my desktop in Windows 7 when I received the message: "i TUNES Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of ITUNES...

    Typically this happens if you try to downgrade iTunes, but it might be possible for it to occur if the library is corrupt in some way. Either way the solution is to restore your most recent backup or revert to an older copy of the library file as follows.
    Empty/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!

  • HT1926 Cannot install itunes Error 7, windows error 1114

    Cannot instal Itunes, Error 7, window error 1114 ???

    Hi!! I finally found a solution
    I´m Sure this one will work for everyone
    -First you have to uninstall all Apple Software using Control Panel
    -Download Unlocker Software from softsonic heres the link http://tinyurl.com/3e8gj2h
    or google it
    -Install Unlocker
    -Go to Start and type this in search: %programdata% 
    -ProgramData window will open, so find apple folders
    -Right click in each apple folder and find Unlocker in the options
    -Choose Delete each apple folders (with unlocker program)
    -Go to My PC, C Local Disk and find Program Files
    -Look for Apple folders and Delete them (with Unlocker)
    -Find a Folder (in Program Files) called Common Files
    -Delete all Apple Folders (in common files) with Unlocker
    - Empty your trash can (thats what i did)
    -Reboot
    -Install Itunes
    Note: You can Reboot or use Safe Mode to use Unlocker if it doesnt work.
    ....and that's All
    AFTER Days of frustration LOL
    Good vibe, Love and Blessings for all!!

  • I can't update itunes, error message comes up, can't update the older version of bonjour contact your technical support

    I can't update itunes, error message comes up, can't update the older version of bonjour contact your technical support

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can't install itunes - error message  "the folder "itunes" cannot be found

    Help. I just bought a new Iphone and can't get itunes to load. I had itunes on my computer for several years for my nano - haven't synced up in about a year. Went to open it and got the following error message
    The folder "itunes" cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside Mu Music folder"
    I have uninstalled everything - quicktime, apple mobile, every single file. I have rebooted, run searches to make sure there were no files at all left - did it through control panel, search etc., rebooted and downloaded it again (this make about 5 times now) and still get that same message that the folder cannot be found. Help! I just blew about $400 in the Apple store!
    Can anyone help me?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Trying to re-install itunes error message "the older version of Apple software update cannot be removed" ?

    Unable to re-install itunes as error message appears "The Older Version Of Apple Software Update Cannot Be Removed"
    Been to control panel and found apple software update but still unable to remove   Help!!

    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. 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 Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • I cannot run my ITunes any longer.  Error message says lITunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of ITunes

    Has anyone had any luck getting ITunes to work properly on a Windows 7 PC lately?  Up until today, I could not open my ITunes at all because it said the disk was locked.  A very helpful person at Apple Care told me to go into properties and release the read only box.  I did and it did not help.  So I uninstalled ITunes and downloaded the newest version.  Now I get the message:  ITunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of ITunes.
    Can anyone help me out with this?  Thanks.

  • Can't Install iTunes : Error Message "Installer has insufficient Privileges to modify this File" Running Windows Vista

    Hello!
    I am currently having issues installing iTunes on BOTH of my computers. One running Vista, the other, Windows 7.
    (Not the same issues)
    I used to have iTunes on my Vista (32bit), but when asked to update the software (The update prior to the newest one), I was not able to.
    I dont exactly remember the error message.
    Yesterday, I tried to install it again when I realized there was a new update.
    I am receiving an error message while trying to install the software that says :
    "The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: c:\program files\ common files \ apple \ apple application support \ webkit. resources \ inspector \ images \ warnings errors.png
    I have tried almost everything I knew to do.
    Downloaded itunes setup, extracted the files and tried to install them all separately.
    Then I had issues UNinstalling Apple Support and Mobile devices!
    Tried something with the registry (not too sure what. I read it on this website)
    Tried to Force Uninstall EVERY bit of apple on the computer then try again, and to no avail.
    I am a bit discouraged, because I have been trying for so long with both computers.
    I even called applecare for help with Windows 7 computer. Spoke to one representative who forwarded me to another who could not help.
    (Windows 7 itunes WILL install, but when I plug up my phone says I am not running 64bit itunes, which I am, and to reinstall. Then I was missing the Mobile device and would not let me separately install.)
    I am a bit frustrated, and I'd appreciate all of the help I can get.
    Thank You all in advance.

  • Someone smart Please help.  Cannot install intues Error message

    when installing I get an error message 23 saying i do not have security permission for the file c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\apple computer\itunes\sc info. I had previously had qtime and itunes but uninstalled due to problems. when I go to those files they say read only and i uncleck that box but it seems to default to read only. I tried changing security for those files in the safe mode but it did not help.
    any advice or resorses would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,

    when installing I get an error message 23 saying i do not have security permission for the file c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\apple computer\itunes\sc info.
    that's a bit exotic. usually, problems with that file lead to problems with launching itunes (rather than installing it), as per the following document:
    iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
    ... does Windows allow you to delete that file? if so, does an itunes install go through afterwards?
    if Windows doesn't allow you to delete it, what error message do you get when you try to delete it?

  • Installing iTunes error message: how to resolve?

    I have been running iTunes & Quicktime (QT) successfully (unknown versions) until trying to upgrade to iTunes v8.0.2 today. I have confirmed that QT 7.2 Player has installed and is running OK, but no version of iTunes will now install despite following all the uninstall/reinstall procedures posted here and by Apple.
    The iTunes installation is wound back after the following error message appears when writing the system registry values: 'Could not open key: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\Software\Classes\.m4a\OpenWith List'. I have administrator rights to Windows and can edit the key but don't know what value to modify.
    Could someone please help?

    Are you using the same account as you used when you first installed iTunes?
    If you have another admin account, it might be worth trying that.
    These odd registry permission problems can sometimes be fixed by repairing the registry permissions using the method in this article:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/739820.aspx
    If you decide to have a go with it, the tool takes quite a long time to run so be patient with it.
    This sort of problem used to crop up quite a lot and the method was very useful then, but the problem seems to have become less common lately.

  • Re-installing itunes Error message Apple application software not found error 2

    I am re-installing Itunes on my home computer at itunes request.
    I am getting an error mesage that apple applicatin software not found Error 2

    With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
