I can't open itunes - error message - created by earlier version of itunes

Hi,
My sister used my itunes to set up her new ipod nano but now when I click on the itunes icon on my laptop I get an error message that says it can't open because it was created by an earlier version of itunes. I think she upgraded itunes when she registered her ipod. Any idea how I can now get itunes to open?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT1925 Trying to download, getting message "can't access, was created in earlier version of iTunes."

    I'm trying to download to my iPOD and my MP3 and I keep getting a message that says it cannot access my files because it was created in an earlier version of iTUNES.

    Thanks again. The option thing got me further than I've gotten thus far but when I went to choose a library I got that same message.
    I do have options. I have 2 iMacs. I can still access my music through 'sharing' and download it onto my newer iMac. Trouble is it doesn't have a CD port and I like to burn. From what I've read about their new Mac portable CD/DVD drive, it's shaky at best. Incidentally, do you know of any drives that work well with Macs and cost less than $89.00?
    I've figured out I can download a previous library from my old Mac then upload it from the new one which should put me back in business, but what do I do with the corrupt one that's there now, just trash it? Also, when I do the option key my other choice is Create A New Library. Should I do that and put the good previous library into it?
    Thanks a million, I really appreciate your time. I'm an old fogey and computers often mystify me, especially when they lock me out of things for no apparent reason.

  • ITunes 7.7 - Can't open! Error message - PLEASE HELP!

    Hi, I've recently updated to iTunes 7.7 and now I can't open iTunes. I've tried reinstalling itunes, quicktime and even did a system restore, but still couldn't get iTunes to work. Btw, I'm running XP pro w/ SP3. The error message I get is this:
    And when I click the "Click Here" link, i get this:
    Please help!!

    when I tried to open quick time i got a rundll error - an exception occurred while trying to run
    In that case the QuickTime problem is likely causing the iTune problem. So we'd better try swapping out your existing QuickTime.
    Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
    7. Restart your computer.
    Now download and save a copy of the latest standalone QuickTime installer to your hard drive. (We'll run the install from there rather than online.)
    Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
    Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install. Start the install by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe.
    If that install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does your iTunes launch properly now?
    (If you get an error message on the QuickTime uninstall or standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. Include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Can not open project - error message

    I have a project that is approximately 100 slides (55KB), which I saved yesterday before shutting down my machine.  When I tried to open it today, I get this error message .
    Basically it is saying that it can't open the project because:
         -The file is already open (which it's not)
         -The file is damaged, for examples it was sent as an email attach and not correctly decoded (didn't send it as an attachment)
         -The hard disk doesn't have sufficient available space (tried moving some things off my desktop to free up space, also tried putting the project on a network with available space and opening from there)
         -The system has insufficient resources, close all other applications (tried closing everything else, still didn't open)
    Has anyone ever gotten this message?  If so, is there a way to resolve it and get the project to open?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated so I don't have to recreate all these slides.
    Thank you,
    Amanda

    Hi there
    If at all possible you need to keep your project on the local C drive. There are a great many hazards lurking about when you decide to place the project on a network drive and make edits to it as it is on the network. Many things can go so wrong.

    As Ms Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:

    Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. I think you will find them more than helpful.

  • Can't open Aperture, error message: quit unexpectedly

    I can't open my Aperture, with error message: "Aperture quit unexpectedly"

    I can't open my Aperture, with error message: "Aperture quit unexpectedly"
    That isn't much to go on. Please provide more clues to your problem:
    The exact error message and the first 50 lines of the error log,
    The Aperture version, the version of your OS, the technical data of your machine,
    any other information you might think helpful, like is it the first time, you tried to run aperture or was it running o.k. previously?
    Did you install anything previously?
    Is Aperture the only application causing problem?
    Otherwise we will not be able to help you.

  • Help! Can't open Aperture: error message

    After doing some work with a new printer (Epson Stylus Pro 3000) I restarted my Mac Quad Pro and attempted to open Aperture.
    I got the error message: "There was an error opening the database for the library '~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary.'"
    I checked the disk on Disk Utility which informed me that the disk was corrupted and that I needed to repair it from the initial disk, (as well as Repair Permissions). 
    Any advice on how to proceed to get Aperture back?
    Thank you very much, Susan Rennie

    Did you perform the Disk Utility repairs? Did they complete successfully? If not you need to get that done first.
    If so and you are still having problems opening Aperture you should do the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
    and let us know if that fixes your problem.

  • Error message while downloading new version of iTunes

    I've tried downloading an updated version of iTunes several times, but I continue to get this error message:
    An error occured during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86". Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736B3.
    Any suggestions on what to do?

    i'm assuming the Error code HRESULT: 0x800763b3 means something and is the solution but where can i find the answer or am i going about this all wrong?
    Yeah, this 0x800763b3 is a slightly unusual one. Normally with these, the iTunes install error code matches the error codes that people get on their Windows Update failures. But for the last two 0x800763b3s I've been involved in on an iTunes install (Liv and someone else), the 0x800763b3 on the iTunes install has been associated with an 0x8007000b on the Windows Update failures. (Liv's 643s were pretty much "generic" error message codes for Windows Update failures, which could mean anything. So that's why I/we went after the 0x8007000b, which has some Microsoft documentation on fixes.)
    Doublechecking on other symptoms of your situation ... is your Windows Update not opening at all when you try to launch it?
    If so, when you click "Turn Windows features on or off" in the "Programs and Features Control Panel" item, is the Windows Features dialog box empty? (No features are shown?)
    (If we can't get the codes from the windows update failures, we might be able to make some progress if we can identify other symptoms that you're getting. I know some documentation for some of these codes that mentions the Windows Features thing as a possible additional symptom.)

  • Error message after loading newest version of itunes

    error message states
    "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied because you are not authorized to play them on this computer"
    What does this mean? I purchased those items and now they will not load on my ipod. This only started happening after I downloaded the newest version of itunes today. I've restored my ipod 3 times today.
    Please help

    Try playing one of the problem tracks in iTunes. It should invite you to authorize the track. That should solve your problem.
    There is general help on authorizing here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93014
    If you have problems getting tracks you purchased authorized, is it possible that you have more than one account?
    If you can't solve the problem, the following authgorization FAQ has an email form for contacting Apple:

  • ITunes error message: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (4002). Any suggestions for curing this?

    After migrating my old iMac to my new one, every time I start iTunes, I get the following message: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (4002). Any suggestions for curing this?

    Perfect - thanks so much!
    For anyone else wondering, the clue was in what was displayed on the screen after I turned iTunes Match on again: it asked whether I wanted to add this computer. Having copied my iTunes library over from the old machine, I'd completely forgotten that iTunes Match identifies each computer uniquely (not each iTunes Library), so was never going to work with this one until I specifically added it. Sorted!

  • Product: iTunes -- Error 1714. The older version of iTunes cannot be removed.  Contact your technical support group.  System Error 1612.

  • Using file "iTunes Library.itl" on an earlier version of iTunes

    With the problems and disappointment I've had with iTunes 8.0, I decided to remove it.
    After uninstalling iTunes 8.0, I reinstalled iTunes 7.7.1.11. When I launched iTunes 7.7.1.11, I received the following message:
    The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
    Is there a way of converting "iTunes Library.itl" that was created with iTunes 8.0 to something that iTunes 7.7 will be able to use?
    I would appreciate any help on this.

    When I downloaded iTunes 8.0, I found that I could no longer select bit rate and file type when importing CDs. I don't understand why a new "improved" version of iTunes would reduce functionality. I decided to get rid of it and tried System Restore to a point two days before I had downloaded 8.0. Lo and behold, 8.0 is inviolable and will not allow that. Then I uninstalled it and installed 7.4 and wound up with the "iTunes Library.itl" message and a program that refused to open. Apple support was no help at all, so thank you Chris, for your solution.
    To clarfy a little, though:
    When I searched, Windows could not identfy a file with the extension of ".itl" but the file is called "iTunes Library" and is located under your user name then "Music/iTunes." Take this file and cut and paste to your desktop (just in case) and and then click on the folder "Previous iTunes Libraries." Find the most recent file prior to the date of your 8.0 installation and copy and paste it to back to where you deleted the newer one. iTunes should open though you will probably have to re-import your files. All in all, too much work for no gain whatsoever.
