ITunes Library Error - what am I doing wrong??

I just bought a new 80 GB video iPod and wanted to import my existing library (I was previously using a nano). When I uploaded the info for my new iPod I got errors from Windows opening iTunes and it kept shutting down my internet connection saying that Windows was experiencing errors - would I like to report.
I completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes. The install was sucessful, however when I try to open iTunes for the first time to access my library, I get the following message:
The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
The only option it gives me is to hit the "OK" button and exit out of the program. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted and read the FAQ's on iTunes, scanned my PC for viruses and uninstalled everything that might be conflicting - nothing has allowed me to get past this error.
What are my next steps?
Thanks in advance - P. Pittman

Are you importing the "iTUnes Library/xml" file from one PC to another, or do you mean your trying to import your library/songs from a nano?

  • While my "Library" is turned on in iTunes, I keep getting a message from my AppleTV "Could not connect to "Chuck's Library."  What am I doing wrong? I am a newby.

    While my Library is turned on in iTunes, I keep getting the following message from my AppleTV: "Could not connect to Chuck's Library."  What am I doing wrong.  I am a newbie, just getting started.  Ultimately, I'm trying to get everything linked up so I can view My Picture on TV (via my wireless network - of course).
    Thanks for any help you can provide!

    Does your Firewall allow access for iTunes, do you have any security software installed, is your network working correctly.

  • I am so confused.  I just downloaded Itunes.  I set up an Apple ID with a password.  Now I want to purchase a song.  I can't do it.  I keep getting the message: This Apple ID has not yet been used with the Itunes Store.  What am I doing wrong?

    You haven't opened an account with that Apple ID in iTunes. Open iTunes and log in. A dialog will appear in which you need to enter your Apple ID and/or password. Below it you should see a link for creating a new account. Click on that link to get started.

  • I got a new Ipad 2 and I am trying to get it work in vain. I have downloaded the iTunes on my PC, but even after executing the program nothing happens to the IPAD. I still get the image of the USB cable and the iTunes logo. What am I doing wrong?

    You know that you have to connect the iPad to your PC with the cable that came with it -  and then iTunes should start automatically and it will guide you through the set up process?
    If you have already tried to connect the iPad - and you have launched iTunes - and you still have no luck - reboot your PC and then begin the process again.

    Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
    Do a backup,  preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

    When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data.

  • I am new to iPad.  I am trying to download a movie and it tells me "download error" what am i doing wrong?

    I am trying to download a movie from iTunes and it gives me an error message "download error - retry" what am I doing wrong??

    I must found this tip when I did a Google search. The text inside of the quotation marks is from this site.
    http://www.eddieoneverything.com/articles/how-to-fix-the-ipodiphone-download-err or-tap-to-retry-error-without-using-your-pc.php
    "I had this problem as well, however I did find one way to get this to download on my iPhone. What I found that worked was to tap to retry the download and as it’s attempting to download it again I hit the pause button (I had to be quick). Once it was paused I hit the button again to resume the download and it successfully completed. I hope this helps some of you out until Apple fix this bug."
    This was posted in an iPhone forum, but it applies to the iPad as well. Maybe this will work for you.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • HT5457 When Open passbook in my iPhone 4S and tapped on the App Store it says cannot connect to apple iTunes Store. What am I doing wrong?

    I updated my iPhone 4S with the new iOs 6. It was successfully installed, but when I open passbook app and tapped App Store I get this message saying cannot connect to apple iTunes Store . What did I do wrong?

    Try connecting to your Mac or PC and using iTunes to sync your iPhone. Disconnect your iPhone after syncing, make sure in Settings>iTunes&AppStore you have your Apple ID and password entered, and launch App Store and sign in. It should work now, but do not sign out from App Store. There seems to be a bug that prevents us from signing in again after signing out.

  • I created a 2nd library for my husbands music and now I can't find my original library. I did hold down the shift key to open itunes but is still comes up with the new library. What am I doing wrong? I tried several times with no luck. Thank you.

    I just got an Ipod Classic recently and downloaded Itunes. Got my music on my Ipod. My husband just got an Ipod Touch. I followed the directions on how to create a 2nd library and was able to load his music onto his Ipod. My problem is now I can not find my original library. I did what the directions said about holding down the shift key while opening Itunes and it still goes to the 2nd library that I created. How do i get my original library to come up? I tried several times with the same results. Please let me know what I need to do to be able to get into either library. Thank You.

    Does the original library file still exist on the computer?  Hopefully when creating the new library it was done in a seperate folder as I do not believe iTunes allows for two library files in the same location.

    Does your script work fine in MATLAB? Do you run a VI or an .exe?
    MATLAB must be running, otherwise LabVIEW will be unable to access the MATLAB server. This will cause the 1047 error. Manually start MATLAB, and your program should run without the error.

  • I am trying to restore my new ipod touch and it is coming up as error, what am i doing wrong?

    I am trying to restore my sons new ipod touch i am trying to restore it but it keeps coming up as error 1611, i have removed all security software and tried again but it has made no difference, any advice?

    Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

    As the article says, you may have a hardware problem.

  • I can't load my music!! What am I doing wrong?

    My computer crashed a few weeks ago, and I just got it working again. When I installed iTunes 8, I got everything that it came with (library, iTunes store, that Genius stuff). But when I plugged in my iPod Nano to put my music on iTunes, it won't show up in my library. The library is just blank.
    All of my music is on my iPod, but I can't seem to put it on my iTunes library.
    What am I doing wrong???
