I updated my iTunes to 10.5 and now it can't reconize my library

It just comes up with the error " iTunes Libary.itl cannot be read as it was created by a Newer version of iTunes" I am running windows 7

Try this, but copy the files that you'll be replacing and put them in another folder in case you need to put them back for some reason:
-Go to your Documents folder where your iTunes folder is that has these folders: Album Artwork, iTunes Library Genius, iTunes Library, etc.
-Go into the folder that says Previous iTunes Libraries and select the most recent library from before you had problems
-Copy that file and go back to the previous folder that has Album Artwork, iTunes Library Genius, iTunes Library, etc.
-You're going to replace two different files in the iTunes folder with the file you copied from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder: iTunes Library, and iTunes Library.itl
-The first copy can be renamed to the same name as the first file, iTunes Library
-The second copy, which will replace iTunes Library.itl, will be renamed iTunes Library.old
I had read online to replace only the .itl file, but that didn't work for me, so after playing around, this worked for me and everything was restored.
I hope this helps

I updated my iTunes to 10.6 and now I can't log into my Apple ID on my iPod Touch. Help?

I did the new update of the itunes for my itunes and ipod touch (4th generation) and now when I try to log into my apps my apple ID window pops open and keeps popping back open when I try to log in. Has anyone had this problem? Had any success in fixing it? I really need to get this fixed, I can't access any of my apps the require internet. Thank you!

I tried downloading the newer Itunes, it didn't change anything in my Ipod Touch that apple ID still won't work. When I first updated to the 10.6 I was using a very old version of Itunes and it changed a lot in my ipod which I think had something to do with it now messing up.

Updated to iTunes 11.1.1 and now I can't purchase from the store

After updating to iTunes 11.1.1 I tried to purchase a music album and got a message that, since this is the first time I've tried to purchase from this computer, I need to answer security questions. It is NOT the first time, this is my desktop from which I make all my purchases and to which I sync my iPhone, iPad and iPod, but I figured I'd just go along and get to my purchase in short order. I answered the questions, and it rejected my answers. I tried again, same thing, except now it said I was going to be locked out of my account if I answered wrong again.
I signed out of my account and signed in again and the same thing keeps happening.
I was already signed in, and I have money sitting in my account waiting to be spent. All I want is to continue purchasing and enjoying music and apps. Please tell me what happened when I upgraded iTunes that has me unable to use the store.

Issue is resolved. I completely quit iTunes, then opened the app and answered the questions and it let me in and allowed me to complete my purchase. I guess not completely quitting and re-entering after the upgrade caused the glitch.

Just updated to iTunes 10.2.1 and now can't add any new songs.

My MACbook is running 10.5.8 and just last week I updated to iTunes 10.2.1 but now I can't add any new songs at all. I go through the motions but when I check the "recently added" checklist, it's blank. The song is never added to my iTunes library. Is there a fix for this?

RESOLVED.
I tried updating iTunes to 10.2.2 thinking this might somehow help me but same situation. Upon further investigation, the set of MP3s I was trying to add didn't have the typical MP3 logo on them. When I tried to delete them from my system, it said "in use by application". I forced a delete. I copied the MP3s again to my MACbook and this time was successful in adding them. Looks like it was a bad set of MP3s and not iTunes.

Try this from MacFixIt as well:
In the case of drive directory damage or problems with permissions, the solution is usually to use Apple's Disk Utility to repair the disk. Of course, you won't be able to perform this operation normally (simply launching the Disk Utility application, located in Applications/Utilities, and initiating a disk repair) if your system will not startup. So two options exist:
* Insert your Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) media (DVD or CD) and restart the computer while holding down the "C" key. Once the computer has booted from the installation disc, select "Utilities" from the menubar and open Disk Utility. Repair the disk, then quit Disk Utility and restart your system.
* Alternatively, you can repair the disk while booted in single user mode if you do not have access to a retail Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) DVD/CD. To startup in single user mode, hold down the "Command" and "S" keys simultaneously at startup. Once properly booted, type the command fsck at the prompt. Repeat these process until no errors appear.

I updated my Itunes the other day and now, when clicking on the itunes icon, the program does not open?? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, resetting the computer, checking permissions, running as adminstrator.. nothing is working?? Help!!

Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

Just updated my iPad 2 to OS7 and now I can't connect it to iTunes 10 on my MacBook OS 10.5.8 My MacBook can't be updated to Mountain Lion as it is early 2008 white MacBook

Just updated my iPad 2 to OS7 and now I can't connect it to iTunes 10 on my MacBook OS 10.5.8
My MacBook is too old and can't be updated to Mountain Lion as it is early 2008 white MacBook.
It all worked perfectly prior to updating the iPad 2 to OS7.
There were no cautions or warnings
Are there any work arounds?
Can I uninstall OS7 and go back to OS6?
Rediculous thing is I can connect to iTunes on an old PC of the same age

Thanks for your comments but this doesn't help my situation at all.
Again Apple fails to provide backward support for its own products.
I could go to the trouble of hacking the MacBook and running Mountain Lion and iTunes 11 that way
I think I will just move across to a PC as a result of this Apple strategy and I think I will just give up on Apples short lived product strategy.
A laptop that lasts five years indicates a long lived product strategy. Where they go wrong is to prevent backwards strategy when someone genuinely cannot live with ios7 like you. even the "unsupported" downgrade has now been blocked.
Don't go windows, you will not get five good years from a dell or an asus. If you can't buy Mountain Lion for it, get a new macbook, enjoy.

i have just downloaded the latest update for Pages on my iPad and now it can no longer open up documents in iCloud and then just shuts down. What The.

Before the reset quit Pages like this:
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.

I recently updated my computer to 10.6 and now I can't get my printer MX340 (canon ) to work. I have installed the new drivers both from Canon's website and from an earlier post directly from apples website. I would surely appreciate some help with this.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Greetings,
What you posted is rather vague. By doesn't work do you mean the applications don't open at all or are you getting a message stating that your product needs activation? If it's product activation then that is something that Microsoft will have to assist you with. If your problem is that the applications simply won't open you may have to uninstall and reinstall Office again. This is common on the Windows platform too. Rarely when you upgrade to a new OS Office sometimes has an issue with the upgrade and won't open correctly. I would suggest merely uninstalling and reinstalling. Nine times out of ten that helps.

I updated my iPad OS this morning, and now I can no longer use iMessage to send pictures. When I try to get one for the camera tool, it blows up. Is this a known problem?
