  • How do I download the newer version of iTunes on a computer ?

    I'm trying to get on iTunes from my computer which has Windows . But it won't let me open the app . A little window pops up saying "The file 'iTunes Library .itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes . I want to open it so I can fix some things but it won't open . It would be nice if this was answered asap .

    Looks like you had installed newer version before, uninstall it - but not completely, and than intalled the older version again.I had this issue before. I had to completly uninstall the newer version through control panel, and than perfom search for itunes for all folders and manually delete all other itunes files. Once all this is done you should be able to install again. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

    .dmg.part is not a complete file..  It usually indicates that the entire file has not been downloaded yet.  Are you sure you downloaded the entire file?   (i recommend updating itunes through  > Software Update

    After downloading the new version of Itunes onto my windows 8, my computer freezes when i attempt access into itunes store.  How can I fix this problem?

    Never heard of that being caused by installing iTunes. Try asking on a Windows forum. This isn't a problem with iTunes or any other Apple product. If you believe it is, uninstall iTunes. If the problem persists, you'll have to seek advice on a Windows forum or contact Microsoft for support.

  • When i try to download the new version of iTunes, I get an error message saying the download was for 32bit and I need the 64bit. How do i download 64bit?!?!

    When i try to download the new version of iTunes, I get an error message saying the download was for 32bit and I need the 64bit. How do i download 64bit?!?!

    Which I get. But clicking on that link you provided does not give you the option of choosing between 32 and 64 bit installers.
    Yeah, that was certainly a 32-bit installer file being referred to in the other message, too. (The 64-bit installer file is called iTunes64Setup.exe.)
    Just in case it's an issue with your normal browser not working properly with the system-detection equipment on the page (there's a javascript control that checks for operating system specifics, and is supposed to deliver the correct Mac or Windows installers), let's try a different web browser for the download. If you use Firefox instead of IE (or vice versa), do you get offered an iTunes64Setup.exe instead of an iTunesSetup.exe?

  • I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder.

    I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder."
    I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?

    Look in your Home > Music folder.  There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl  You want to guide iTunes to that file.  If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

  • I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer.

    I just downloaded the new version of iTunes 10 and now it won't let me drag and drop any files from my computer into my iTunes. It lets me play the song from the folder in my computer and then it opens with iTunes and plays the song all the way through, but then if I try to play it again, it says the file cannot be located. So then I go to locate and go to the folder and all that and select it and nothing happens.

    Not sure whether for instance you initially had a Yahoo optimised version of Firefox, and have now overwritten it with an official Mozilla version. Although the Mozilla version should NOT add unwanted features, but the Yahoo version may well do.
    If you merely need to find the Yahoo emails page quickly just add it as a bookmark or as a bookmark on the Bookmarks toolbar and make sure that is visible.
    Clicking the star icon on the location bar whilst looking at your emails will bookmark the page.

    I do not use Yahoo myself,and am not sure what add-ons are available. You could search yourself using
    * FirefoxButton -> add-ons
    ** see [[Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox]]

  • Having trouble downloading the new version of itunes on Macbook, can you help me?

    Hi,
    I bought my computer MacBook about six years ago. I am trying to download the new version of itunes. It downloads to my computer, but then asks me for my name and installer password. The options to get that password back is to install the initial disk of the computer, which I do not have anymore or restart the computer doing some sort of steps. I am clueless when it comes to computers, so if anyone can help me that would be awsome!
    My computer has been running fine these past years and I would hate for the answer to be that I have to replace my MacBook for another Mac....
