I just reinstalled iTunes, and it will not open, as it says iTunes library itl. was created from an earlier version. Any idea what this means, and how I can get itunes to open?

Many thanks.
That suggests that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

Help can't open itunes, says it was created by a newer version of iTunes?

Help! When I try to start iTunes it says: The File "iTunes Library.itl"; cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
Today before the listed above happened it 1st said it detected an issues with Quicktime, so I followed the instructions to uninstall and installed Quicktime using the Quicktime standalone installer. Then when I tried to get to iTunes the above popped up instead.....please help me!! I'm not computer savvy and do not know what to do!

Here is some advice I copied from a b noir (regular poster on these forums) message.
I've seen that one reported every now and then after an version update, if the update hasn't gone through properly. (The library files seem to get updated, but the program files don't.)
So, let's try another iTunes update, taking a few extra explicit precautions this time.
Download and save a fresh copy of the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line.)
Latest iTunes Installer
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Now run the install by doubleclicking on the iTunesSetup.exe (installer) file you downloaded earlier.
Does that install go through okay? If so, does iTunes launch without the error message this time?

This might depend on how you made your installer. If it is a flash pen installer that you made yourself, depending on how you made it, it has consequences on what is installed.
I am assuming that you have made an installer?
If you have and you did it manually, without using the Terminal command then it is a know caveat that a recovery partition is not installed as part of that procedure. The second method to create a bootable installer, using Terminal, will allow and install a recovery partition.
See here (without Terminal): http://www.macworld.com/article/2151706/create-a-bootable-mavericks-install-driv e-for-newer-macs.html
& here (with Terminal): http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install -drive.html
Alternatively, have you zapped the PRAM and SMC, prior to trying to install?
See here: About NVRAM and PRAM
Some of these might help or even answer your query...
Good luck.

Stop trying to use an old version of iTunes.
Install the latest version from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download

TS1717 My itunes won't open and I get message that says "The file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes." I am unsure what this means, but I have uninstalled and reinstalled the itunes, and it still will not

I receive the message: The file "iTunes library.itl"cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I do not know exactly what this means. I have Windows 7 on my computer and was able access itunes until just recently. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes multiple times and that does not work. Sometimes I can get in when immediately after installing, but then if I close it, i cannot get back in. Now, i can't get in at all.

That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
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 don't know why this error occurs, unless you have attempted to downgrade iTunes.
This method should get you up and running again.

Tell us some version numbers please, of your Mac OS versions and iTunes versions on both computers (two eMacs yes?).

That is a pretty good guess.Try updating the second eMac's iTunes to at least the version that was on the first.

I just went to open itunes, and it says 'unable to read itunes.itl because it was created by a newer version of itunes'. I googled it, someone said to change the 'itl' to 'old', so I did. I was then able to open itunes, but there was no music in there.

I just tried to open itunes on my Macbook, and it says, "the file ituneslibrary.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I googled it, and someone suggested to change 'itl' to 'old', which I did. I was then able to open itunes, but nothing was there of my library. Have I lost my entire itunes library? Please say it ain't so ...

Hi,
By changing itl to old you made iTunes create a new blank library.
You may be able to use a previous iTunes library which are created when you update itunes. Therefore delete the current itl file, go to previous iTunes library folder, select the one that is most recent one before you made updates to iTunes. Move this to replace the one you moved to trash. Rename to iTunes library.itl then open iTunes.
