Error :CANT USE MY ITUNES WONT OPEN OR RUN

THE FILE "iTUNES Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. i have Windows 8 64 bit operating system

This technique should work...
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!

HELP iTunes wont open but runs in system process on xp64 pro

iTunes was working just the other week. Now all of the sudden it wont open. However it will be running in my system processes taking up 36,752k
I've searched the forums and tried the suggestions also installing and uninstalling and upgrading to the latest version. iTunes very rarely gives me a problem and nothing major has happened to my system. I need a fix for this ASAP I use iTunes just about every day!!
Thanks,
Nick

Yeah great thanks, but i've been using it on xp64 for a year already with no problems
Xp64 doesnt have problems running 32bit programs for me
However there's got to be some kind of registry for this.

Error 13014... iTunes wont open?

Well I had an old version of iTunes, 7. something, and when I tried to download a song it gave me an error message, so I downloaded the new version, and now it wont even open. It says an unknown error occured.(13014). I tried uninstalling it, reinstalling, restarting my computer, repairing it, but nothing works.
Anyone know whats wrong? I have no clue what to do anymore. This has happened to me in the past but I dont remember what I did to fix it.

hi geraldo!
When I click change/remove in Add/Remove programs to try to uninstall my older QT the Installshield window momentarily flashes followed by no action.
good lord. a silent failure? that's a little odd.
... so let's check on some odd possibilities first.
check to see if you've got Windows Installer 3.1v2 on your PC. the easiest way to do that is to head to your Add/Remove programs control panel (don't remove anything ... we're just looking), and check to see if "(KB893803)" is showing up next to the entry for Windows Installer. if it is, you're fine. if not, see:
Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435) is available
... let's also check on these possibilities (although the KB docs are about installs, they can apply to uninstalls too):
iTunes 5 and QuickTime 7 for Windows: Installation won't work if Cygwin is running
QuickTime for Windows: Uninstall QuickTime 3 or 4 before installing QuickTime 7
iTunes 5 and QuickTime 7: Can't install on a computer with Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Japanese)
if any of those seem to be relevant to your PC, does the QT uninstall go a bit better afterwards?

Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

ITunes wont open, getting error message, hard drive crash

i had my secondary hard drive die. My windows is on my C: all of my music was on my D:. Now iTunes wont open becuase it cant access D:. If I try to uninstall it tells me it cant find D:. If I try to re-install it says it cant find D:. I have cleaned the registry of iTunes, and it still wont reinstall. Any thoughts, thanks in advanced.

hi Aaron!
error 1327.Invalid Drive D:\
hmmm. that one's consistent with the abrupt change of drive letters too.
have you tried the InstallShield advice on the 1327?

Itunes Wont Open!!!Error -50

My Itunes wont open ever since i upgraded to 6.0.before that everything worked fine.ive tried many of the techniques and none have worked.plz help me!!!

hmmm. okay, if you're currently just getting the "itunes has encountered an error ..." let's try the following technique.
preliminaries
download and save a fresh copy of the itunes 6.0.1.3 installer to your hard drive. (eventually we're going to run the install from there rather than online.)
iTunes 6.0.1.3 Installer
switch off any antivirus and antispyware applications prior to any uninstalls, installs or repair installs.
uninstall
use the complete uninstall instructions given in the following document to remove your existing itunes and quicktime:
Troubleshooting iTunes, iPod Software, and QuickTime installation on Windows
... and if you run into problems on the uninstall, try using the Installer Cleanup utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
reboot after uninstalling.
reinstall
remember to switch off your antivirus and antispyware.
reinstall itunes using the 6.0.1.3 installer you downloaded previously.
if you get the "itunes has encountered a problem ..." error message again after that install, first check to see if your Quicktime will launch. if you get an error message when you try to launch quicktime, try using the following technique:
iTunes 6 for Windows unexpectedly quits when opened
keep us posted on your progress.

Hello Dr.Help,
Thank you for providing so much information about the issue you are experiencing with iTunes. It sounds like you have tried reinstalling it, but nothing happens when you launch it. I recommend following the steps in this article to resolve launch issues with iTunes:
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)"

I'm on Windows 7 - using itunes daily without problems and suddenly itunes wont open, I get "itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50)" The only thing I can think is I think there was a download in progress when I shut down the computer.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalled, but I get the same thing. I tried clearing the itunes folder and reinstalling, same thing. help!

Doublechecking. When you did the complete uninstall, were you using the following document as a guide?
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
(If damaged program files are involved here, a standard install might not remove them, and a reinstall might not then replace them. So the Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled section is an important step.)

ITunes wont open only error message

iTunes wont open I only get an error message that reads. "The folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the My Music folder" My music is on an exernal hard drive and it worked before I upgraded and now it wont work.
Please help

hiya!
it's best to leave the "My Music" folder on the C drive. it's a Windows special folder, so having it out on an external can cause weird problems if (say) the drive letter assignment for the external drive changes.
okay, here's the best place to start:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, try the alternate technique from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

ITUNES WONT OPEN COMES UP WITH ERROR MESSAGE

ITUNES WONT OPEN COMES UP WITH ERROR MESSAGE (send error report one)

some preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

The first step is to try this Microsoft fixit:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
If that doesn't work we will have to try something more complicated. It is a could not open file error message from the installer.

My itunes wont open ! No error message

My itunes wont open ! When I click on the icon nothing opens, not even an error message. Iv tried opening it from Windows Task Manager > Processes > Itunes.exe but nothing seems to work ! Itunes doesnt open when I sync my iphone either ! Please help

Hi b,
I think I'm having the same problem as Vanessa (and a lot of others from the sound of it). When I click on my iTunes shortcut the hourglass pops up for a second and then nothing happens. I can't access the music store from the net either (I get a message that says "Loading... Please wait" and then nothing happens). I've turned off my firewall (Norton Personal Firewall 2003)and that didn't help. I tried Lorraine's fix with installing the files in Norton one by one and telling them to be permitted and that didn't work. I also tried a stand alone installation of Quicktime and that helped some (the quickTime player window does now pop up for a split second before disappearing when I click Quicktime) but I still can't access the music store. I thought I'd try your suggestion of looking in the task manager for my itunes.exe file but I can't find the task manager. Where is it?
