Error Launching the reinstalling iTunes

Went to use I tunes today, and I get the following error message:
iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.
So, I run the installation software again and before I can hit the finish button, the Microsoft box telling me and error has occurred pops up. Anyone have any suggestions?

A bit of a guess, perhaps, but try running the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and see if that helps.

  • Error message "The file 'iTunes library.itl' . . .

    Someone help! I got an error message "The file 'iTunes library.itl' cannpt be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." What does that mean? I had a clean-up done and now I can't access my music! I tried to download a updated version but I still get the same error. What can I do?

    If you navigate to your iTunes Music Folder in Explorer you will see several files. The artwork folder contains artwork but only iTunes and iPod can read these files. There is a iTunes music folder with the actual music files. Then there are two files called iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes library.ilt. These are two text and database files, respectively, that contain your ratings, play counts, last played and possibily your playlists too (Dont know about playlists). Stuff like that. There is also a previous library folder with an older database file. So in theory, you could delete the database and text files and still have your music. Then just download iTunes 6 and install. But you will lose ratings, play counts, last played, playlists etc. What I would recommend is to move your music to another location, then uninstall iTunes and delete the files I was talking about. Then reinstall iTunes. I think everything I said here is correct but I am not completely sure so I can't guarantee anything. Also I am using a Mac so it may be different, probably not though.

  • Why do I get the error message: "The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTune." I am using iTunes9.1.1 which, I believe, is the highest for OS 10.4.11 ?

    Hello,
    Did you reinstall lately?
    My 10.4.11 Drive seemes to have iTunes 7.6.2 on it, have you tried Software update to see if iTunes is listed?
    Another 10.4.11 drive has iTunes 6.05 on it... I hate upgrading iTunes, seems worse at every upgrade.
    The 10.5.8 drive I'm booted from now has iTunes 8.02 on it.

    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.

  • TS1424 I can't open iTunes. Get error message "the file iTunes library.itl cannot be opened because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"

    I cannot open itunes.  Getting error message: "the file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"
    What do I need to do so I dont lose all my loaded music, etc.?
    Thanks

    If 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...

  • 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.

  • Getting error message : the item Itunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved so this shortcut will no longer work properly. I get this either using the start menu or the desktop shortcut. I tried going to programs /itunes and repair.

    Getting the error message:
    the item Itunes.exe that this shortcut referes to has been moved or changed so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
    I tried going into the control panel/programs /itunes and selected repair which didn't fix it. Any suggestions on restoring the broken shortcut without removing and re-installing the program?
    Running windows 7 home premium SP1
    Thank you

    I think it is some sort of permissions issue preventing the installer from updating the shortcuts. Is your account an administrator of the machine? If it is and you still have the problem then you may need to explicitly use the "Administrator" account for the install.

  • Error message the file "itunes.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

    I had to do a system recovery with a prior date.  now I get an error message: the file "iTunes.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.  Anyone have a solution?

    I know this is an old thread, but the information in it solved my current problem (Windows Vista, upgraded to iTunes 11.2 and resulted in this same .itl error message).
    So, I'm here to thank turingtest2 for his excellent instructions to fix my problem. One of tt2's many detailed instructional tips). THANK YOU TURINGTEST2!
    PS I'm generally reluctant to "mess with files and such, preferring to use Windows Restore, because it just doesn't seem right to me that end users of Apple devices should have to get into the guts of files and such. Sadly, I have finally just accepted that iOS updates never work right and I either have to deal with work-around fixes or never update. Eventually we do need to update or there will be other problems. All I can say is, I'm sure glad there are folks like turingtest2 here who spend so much time helping us.

  • Error Message: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read..."

    I'm trying to install iTunes on my machine and am getting this error message:
    "The file 'iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."
    Does anyone know why? How can I fix this?

    In order to play m4p files, you must authorise your new PC. iTunes should prompt you to do this if you try to play an m4p file on an unauthorised PC.
    Apple has a strict download once policy, so you cannot re-download files that you have already downloaded.
    The simplest way to get you files off the external drive is to add the folder containing your music to iTunes with File>>Add folder to library. You need to ensure that "Copy to itunes music folder when adding to library" is checked on the advanced tab of Preferences.
    Doing it this way is easy but you lose counts and ratings etc. If you want to recover these, there are two possibilities.
    If you had your iTunes folder containing the the iTunes Library files on the external drive, You can simply connect to it by doing a shift key start.
    Hold down the shift key and start iTunes. Keep holding the shift key until you are promoted to choose a library. Navigate to the iTunes folder on the external drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
    But I suspect that you had your iTunes folder with lirbary files on your old PC. Recovering the library data is more complicated and I will need more information about your old set up if you want to attempt it.
