I deinstalled accidently support parts for my itunes, went to use it , failed, diinstalled itunes and reinstalled it, now i get a message saying itunes cannot wokr because it was created with an older version. what can i do?
i accidentaly deinstalled support pieces to my itunes. went to use it and it failed. apple told me to deinstall the whole thing and re-install it. I did this but still it failed. when i go to open it it reads "the file I Tunes Library. It! cannot be revealed because it was created by a newer version on I tunes". help?
I backed up my iPhoto Library to an external drive even though it looked way to small to hold all my photos. I have tried several times to open iPhoto whilst depressing the option and command keys but get the same message again:
"The photo library was created with an unreleased version of iphoto. Please quit and upgrade this photo library by opening it in iphoto 2 or iphoto 4" Behind this, the little wheel is turning and it says "Loading Photos" (but it doesn't).
I've got to access these photos for a project deadline that's looming so any help would be really appreciated.

I don't know why this error occurs, unless you have attempted to downgrade iTunes.
This method should get you up and running again.
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.

When you get it all working make a backup!

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.
ThanksI 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.

I uninstalled and deleted ver 11, installed ver 10.7 because ver11 won't work on my XPsp3 machine with my vinyl conversion software to mp3, but upon launch i get :"itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of itunes'.
Hello, Stephen.
Thank you for the question. You will need to rebuild your iTunes library file in order to open an older version of iTunes. Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process. Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

My computer is reading "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of iTunes." I need help ASAP! Did I lose all my music?
Unless you deliberately downgraded iTunes this may be a sign of a corrupt library. SeeEmpty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

A couple hours ago I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1.2 or the newest version of iOS (not 8). When it finished, I turned it on and it showed a charger at the bottom of the screen and in the middle, an arrow, and at the top it showed the iTunes icon. I've never seen this before, so I took it as I needed to plug my phone up into my laptop? Well the first thing it said when I plugged it in, it said something like it can't be used until it's turned on. I updated it and it messed up even more, which caused me to uninstall all of the apple inc. software. I reinstalled iTunes and now when I try to open it, all it says is "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." First, what does the charger and iTunes icon mean when I try to turn my phone on? And how do I fix iTunes on my laptop?
Hello there, livviboobear.
It sounds like your error message is in regards to having installed an older version of iTunes on your computer. The following Knowledge Base article offers up the step-by-step on how to properly uninstall iTunes:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Once uninstall, follow the link in the article to get to the most current version of the iTunes installer.
In regards to the screen on your phone, this article explains how to resolve it:

My iTunes library will not open because it was created with a newer version
When I try to open iTunes I get the following error message.
"The file iTunes.itl cannot be read because it was cretaed by a newer version of iTunes.
This happened after I downloaded version 7 in September. I can see that my library is intact but cannot get it to open. Any suggestions?
Thanks
GregUpdate it seems to be version 6.05 which is showing up when I check via my Computer.
i've seen this happen every now and then if an install doesn't go through properly ... the library files get updated, but the program files don't get touched.
let's try another itunes 7.0.2.16 install. we'll take a few additional explicit precautions this time.
download and save a fresh copy of the itunes installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
iTunes 7.0.2.16 Installer
if that install goes through properly, does itunes launch for you again? -
Itunes library can't be opened because it was created with a newer version
my brother downgraded itunes from 7 to 6.0.4 and my library is no longe able to be read. but he was able to get it to work on his login. what do i do.
JoshI too have fallen foul of the awful iTunes, version 7, which gives me distortion very quickly after starting a track, and seems to be missing the nice equalizer. The only advice I can offer for the future is keep a copy(say burnt on DVD) of all iTunes software versions. Also periodically burn a copy of the iTunes music folder which is usually in the MyMusic folder, onto DVD (or several DVD's), or put it onto a separate external hard drive if you have one. (However, don't have the hard drive connected when you upgrade iTunes software, as it looks in all places for iTunes files and as has happened with version 7, changes their format.) Then if you need to re-install, you can put a previous iTunes version back, and install the earlier version of iTunes music folder back. Fortunately, as I have just upgraded to a new computer, I had done this to move my music to the new machine. I know it is wise after the event, but they do say make back-ups! Usually, we do not expect Apple to make such a foulup of their software. Version 6 seems about as good as it gets and works perfectly with the Audigy board on my new machine. I hope for everyone sake Apple sort this out quickly!

Can anyone see this question - not sure if I'm doing this right...
Had same problem and solved it without having to reinstore any music or movies:
1. Delete old Library file
2. Go to the 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder and copy one of the earlier files - note, they have a date extension, e.g. 'iTunes Library 2011-11-01'.
3. Paste this file in your iTuners folder and rename file by removing the date extension - 'iTunes Library'
You should have all your music and paylists in tact, unless it was a really old previous file. -
itunes will not open; it says it cannot read because it was created by a newer version. HELP!
Unless you just attempted to downgrade iTunes to an earlier verison this is probably a sign of a corrupt library.
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. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
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.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
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!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

Can anyone help me with this problem. I tried updating the latest itunes and it caused an error MSVCR80.dll missing. I then tried fixing it after reading other people had the same problem and a solution was given about uninstaling itunes and the order in which to do that. I did that but now get the error "the files "itunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created with a newer version of itunes. I see a solution has been given about this but I cannot find what is suggested to enable me to follow instructions. Can anyone please go through step by step (letting me know where I can find what is needed) to enable me to be able tio log into itues again. Thanks
Hi pussygalore,
If you are having issues with iTunes after an attempted update, you may find the following article helpful:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
You may want to make sure that in the last step (reinstalling iTunes) that you are installing the latest/newest available version, and not attempting a reinstall from an older file.
