When I try to open itunes, I get message cannot open this file because it was created by a newer version
CAn anyone help?

Which system are you running (is this information correct in your profile)?
Are there complicating issues to this question such as you transferring libraries between computers?
Have you upgraded iTunes recently?

We have no way of knowing. Maybe you did or maybe you didn't. If you don't tell us what version you have, how could we know?

When i click on icon to open, it states iTunesLibrary.itl can't be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Help!

When I click on my icon to open iTunes a box appears that states: The file "iTunesLibrary.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Help!

Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Itunes wont open because itfile was created in a newer version?

Hi all,
I tried to download the new iphone software yesterday through itunes.
It told me it was downloading a new version plus a new safari.
It got half way through and the itunes part had a red X through it and didnt continue, instead it completed the safari one and once complete told me to restart my pc which i did.
When i logged back in it said itunes was broken and i should run the repair tool. I tried and it said it failed and that I had to install the whole of itunes again!
I went on the apple website and installed itunes for windows 7 64bit. Once this was complete i tried to open itunes and i now get a message saying that the file (or library) was created in a newer version so cannot open!??
How can this be the case when I have just downloaded the newest version from the apple website!!!?
If any can help that would be great as im left with no way to back up my phone or get the new ios5 on it!!
I have windows 7.
Thanks

I did kinda the same thing....What I was told was that because the server is getting hammered right now, the itunes didnt install correctly ( even though it looks like it did ). The only thing to do is uninstall and reinstall until it works. I was told it may be at least a week with all the new phones coming out today... My phone doesnt work at all now - I have to take it to a store to get it back to factory settings and when the servers slow down and I can reinstall itunes correctly, then I can get all my contacts and apps back.

Upgrade iTunes to the latest version. It should be 10.5.3.

Update your copy of itunes to the current version.

I recently transfered everything from my emac to another one but now when I try to open iTunes I get the window that states: The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.

I recently transfered everything from my emac to another one but now when I try to open iTunes I get the window that states: The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. The computer I transfered to had a bunch of files on it and I got full ownership of what was already there, so, how do I get to my iTunes library, I do have access as an administrator to the iTunes library (that works just fine) already there and I guess I must have had a newer version ofiTunes on my defunt eMac....

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.

When I try to access iTunes I get 'The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.' But when I try to download iTunes I get error (-42408)...help please.

When I try to access iTunes I get 'The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?'' But when I try to down load I get "unknown error occurred (-42408)". Don't know what to do next and I can't get into my iTunes library. (I have an iMac, OS10.6.8.)

Did you uninstall iTunes 11 and replace it with iTunes 10.7? If so, you'll need to go through a few steps to put things right:
Rename "iTunes Library.itl" to some other name;
Copy newst ITL file from the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder into your main iTunes folder and rename it to "iTunes Library.itl";
Download iTunes 10.7: http://appldnld.apple.com/iTunes10/041-7195.20120912.d3uzQ/iTunes10.7.dmg
Download/install shareware app called Pacifist;
Open Pacifist and, separately, mount iTunes DMG file -- drag iTunes PKG file into Pacifist and install iTunes via the Pacifist application -- be sure to answer yes to replacing everything Pacifist asks about;
Enjoy iTunes 10.7.
Cheers,

Got an iMac and used migration tool (PC to Mac). When I try iTunes i get The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version.... download iTunes now? but i have it already???

I just got an iMac and used migration tool (PC to Mac). When I try to then open iTunes i get the message
<The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version.... download iTunes now?>
...but i have it already downloaded, when I press download now, it tells me I already have it, but it still won't let me open iTunes???

Unless you've tried to install an older version of iTunes that message likely indicates a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash...
