Error: "i Tunes Library.itl"
My old laptop crashed, so I bought a new one. I have my iTunes saved on a an external hard drive, but when I loaded iTunes on to my new computer and clicked on the iTunes icon, I received the following:
Error: The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
Please help!
hi ryansee!
hmmmm. folks normally get that one if they downgrade their itunes from certain versions to certain versions. for example:
All of my music is missing after downgrading from iTunes 4.9
do you still get it if you install the latest versions of itunes on the new computer? (we'd better make sure your ipod software on there is up-to-date, too.)

Never mind sorted it out lol. Somebody did a system restore of a week or so. I had done the update during that time and it was lost. Just redownloaded itunes from the internet and its working fine now.

See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash. In certain cases a "corrupt" library can appear to be invalid for the current build of iTunes or trigger a "New Library" message.

When trying to sync my nano 5th Gen i got a message saying there was a problem and to try uninstalling and reinstalling. I did this step by step, but when reinstalling i was presented with this message. 'The file 'i Tunes library .itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes'. Any ideas what i can doto rectify this????
ThanksIf you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...
•Apple - Support - iTunes - install & update:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/install/
•Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X:

Good luck & happy computing!
ps: i see you resolved this issue. it's magic! -

The file i tunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes?
I got this message after trying to open up itunes . I recently did a system restore to my computer to a restore point i made a couple days ago
My itunes library was huge and very organized have I lost it all because I restored my pc to 7 days ago????? SERIOUSLY I GOOGLED THIS and I HAVE READ SO MANY DIFFERENT ANSWERS ITS ANNOYING!!!!
I have windows vista
CAN SOMEBODY JUST GIVE ME A SOLUTION TO HOW TO GET MY ITUNES(PLAYLISTS AND ALL) BACK!!!!!
dont give me a way that deletes all my playlists because i had way over 1,000 playlists divided into Folders it was super organized!It sounds as though the system restore that you've done has reverted your computer back to a previous version of iTunes. In iTunes look at Help/About iTunes and as the scroll runs, you will see the iTunes version number.
The latest version of iTunes (on the day of writing) is 10.5.1.42, so if your iTunes is lower than that, it's possible that's what the problem is. (This assumes that you were previously using 10.5.1.42, which is a reasonable assumption.)
So make sure you have the latest version. I don't know why you did the system restore on your computer, but despite what some people may have you believe, iTunes is very stable and unlikely to be causing any issues on your computer that need to be undone with a system restore. -
error message: itunes library .itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version. I downloaded and in stalled the latest version of itunes and it did not help. What now?
Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:
Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X -
Since yesterday I have been trying to get my iTunes to allow me to sync my iPhone with it to get the latest update. However, once I finally managed to download it iTunes would now allow for it to sync, telling me I needed the 64 bit iTunes which I already had and had downloaded at least 4 times trying to get it to work.
I followed someone elses advice and uninstalled all apple products and went to reinstall it and now I am getting the following message.
The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? And possibly even my other problem with the inability to sync my iPhone with iTunes?
Thank you.no one?

at each startup, Itune10.2.2 reimports my library and i have an error message on library.itl that is damaged. A new one is created each startup. I have tried uninstalling itunes, changed my antivirus but doesn't work
The following line tells me that this is not a template file, but a document created from a template called index.dwt
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/index.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
This means that you saved a child document as a template file at some stage.
If you go to Modify->Templates->Detach from Template, you can remove the template structure from your document. All you then need to do is to re-save the document as a template. -
Since the latest update I can't open I Tunes and get "I Tunes library .itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version. How do I fix this. I have Windows 7. I have no idea where to find the libraries or anything. This happened on my desktop.
Help me please.See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.

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!

I get the error message The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be readbecause it was created by a newer version of itunes.
I tunes will not start, so I can't deauthorize the computer and do an uninstall/reinstall.
I have no idea what this means b/c I didn't import a new library.
Any help would be appreciated.no one?
