"i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes

I got this error messages when I tried starting up my iTunes today. I really have no idea what the problem is. Is it serious? Is my music lost? If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Never mind sorted it out lol. Somebody did a system restore of a week or so. I had done the update during that time and it was lost. Just redownloaded itunes from the internet and its working fine now.

    It sounds as though the system restore that you've done has reverted your computer back to a previous version of iTunes. In iTunes look at Help/About iTunes and as the scroll runs, you will see the iTunes version number.
    The latest version of iTunes (on the day of writing) is 10.5.1.42, so if your iTunes is lower than that, it's possible that's what the problem is. (This assumes that you were previously using 10.5.1.42, which is a reasonable assumption.)
    So make sure you have the latest version. I don't know why you did the system restore on your computer, but despite what some people may have you believe, iTunes is very stable and unlikely to be causing any issues on your computer that need to be undone with a system restore.

  • The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Help please?

    Since yesterday I have been trying to get my iTunes to allow me to sync my iPhone with it to get the latest update. However, once I finally managed to download it iTunes would now allow for it to sync, telling me I needed the 64 bit iTunes which I already had and had downloaded at least 4 times trying to get it to work.
    I followed someone elses advice and uninstalled all apple products and went to reinstall it and now I am getting the following message.
    The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem? And possibly even my other problem with the inability to sync my iPhone with iTunes?
    Thank you.

Any ideas what i can doto rectify this????

    If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
    Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
    Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...

  • When I try to open iTunes on my laptop, I get a message that says "The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." What do I do?

    When I try to open iTunes it says that it can't and I have no idea how to fix the problem. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes 3 times and the same thing happens each time. Please help me!!

    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.

    Hi pussygalore,
    If you are having issues with iTunes after an attempted update, you may find the following article helpful:

    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.

    I just installed iTunes on my new laptop.  When I click on the desktop icon I receive a pop up that says "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".  I have no idea what this means or what to do about it.  I can't even find a file on my computer like the one referred to in the pop up.  I am currently considering keeping my old laptop if it is the only way for me to continue to access iTunes.  What should I do to fix this?

    What version of iTunes are you using? An .itl file is something that Windows uses, or very old versions of iTunes on Mac. The library file on Macs is now .xml and has been since late iTunes 4.
    Is iTunes running ok without any problems after you OK that message? If it is, then you may be able to ignore it if you can't account for why you're getting it. But make sure you take backups in case something happens in the future.
