ITunes library created on windows can't be read by iTunes on OS X

Hi,
I'm running a MBP with OS X 10.5.4 and VIsta Ultimate SP1 32-bit via bootcamp. I have installed software allowing OS X to write as well as read NTFS partitions.
I have an external harddrive with my iTunes folder consolidated (using windows iTunes) on it so my library files and music are all on the hardrive in the iTunes folder.
I can access the library file fine in Vista (which I used to create the iTunes library originally) but in OS X I can't seem to select the library file. It's greyed out, even though I've removed the .itl extension etc...
What's odd is my old version (unconsolidated) iTunes library created by the windows iTunes can be accessed from OS X iTunes. Is it something to do with the consolidation.
Any ideas?

A better title would've been iTunes can't read library.

There is no such thing as a "Factory Unlocked iPhone "
They are either locked to a carrier who may at some stage offer unlocking
or sold direct to a user by Apple (from their own Stores or online .)
Those iPhones are NOT locked
Where did you get your iPhone
If from Apple try this

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

How do i take a playlist from my itunes, and put it onto my ipod with the newest itunes?

How do i take a playlist from my itunes, and put it onto my ipod with the new itunes?

For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

With windows 7 when y connect my Iphone Itunes opened . With windows 8 I have to open itunes manually ??

I too am having this problem. I've noticed that it seems to do it more often when i'm in full screen mode, if there is something downloading or i try to play something within the first minute of opening. Also, finding a lot airplay issues and playing to apple tv is a nightmare without a LAN connection. Anyone got a solution?

My ipod is formated for windows xp. new laptop is windows 8. ipod wont update on new laptop, what do i do now?

my new laptop is windows 8. iPod is formatted for windows xp. new laptop knows iPod is there but wont update. how do I fix this?

hey there oddball35,
It sounds like you are trying to update your iPod with your new computer. Without knowing the specific symptoms, I recommend you start with choosing the iPod model you have from the following website:
iPod Troubleshooting Assistants
https://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
If that does not resolve the issue, are you getting any error messages, or what specifically is preventing the restore from happening?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Have you tried uninstalling both QuickTime and iTunes through Add or Remove programs on your computer?
For instructions, see this:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
By the way, an uninstall does not affect your iTunes library files, since they would still be saved in a folder called "iTunes Music" on your computer.

A bit of a shot in the dark, but this appears to be an issue with pulling down the update from the Windows Store. I have not run into this issue directly, but this thread has a lot of information.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_store/windows-8-apps-are-pending-...
The one tidbit that might help here from that thread is:
"finally I found a solution. go to troubleshooting (press win+w >then type troubleshooting). now a window opens in desktop. click "fix problems with windows updates". now click next. windows will search for solutions, but it wont find anything. then windows will ask if u want to try in administrator mode. click yes. windows will find and solve the problem. that's it."

I downloaded itunes 10.5 and now my ipod wont sync up with it, whats wrong?

i downloaded itunes 10.5 and ever since then my ipod wont get recognised by itunes, how do i fix this?

This tutorial for downgrading says you have to do this when that notice appears after you've downgraded:
iTunes 10.5 upgrades the iTunes library file and won’t let you downgrade, so you will need the prior version library file. Here’s how to go about that
5) You will need to rename iTunes Library.itl to iTunes Library.bak
6) Go into the “Previous iTunes Libraries” folder where you will find several files with dates in their names. The most recent one will have the .itl extension, but the others don’t. Copy that to the parent folder ~/Music/iTunes/ and rename it iTunes Library.itl
7) Congrats. You’re done.

How do you update playlists on your iPod with the new iTunes?

With the new iTunes, I can't seem to be able to update playlists on my iPhone device when plugging it in. I can add songs to the playlist and can add songs to my device. However after adding songs to a playlist, I can not update that playlist on my device with the new iTunes. You used to be able to just drag a playlist to the device and update it, but you no longer can. Can someone please tell how to go about updating playlists on devices using the new iTunes.

Do you mean remove them from the iPod or transfer them back to your computer? You can't transfer photo's back to the computer with iTunes. To retrieve photos from an iPod try:
iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
CopyPodPhoto Windows only
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
To remove individual photos from an iPod you delete or remove the photo from the folder that you linked to when you set the preference "synch photos from" and update the iPod. For example, if the iPod is getting the pictures from the folder "My Pictures," delete or remove them from My Pictures.

Serious flaw in updater for windows on iPod Photo (plug icon)

When I ran the new updater (on windows) it says very briefly that I have to plug the ipod into the power to complete the firmware. I didn't see this message the first time so I thought I had to reset my iPod.
Result: it won't start or reset anymore !!
I had to send my iPod to repair and the erased the iPod and returned it to me. With the return I got a instruction, which explains about how to run the updater on windows, but nothing on plugging it in the wall to update !!
So if I had missed the brief message of the updater I could have the same problem. This time I kept it connected for a couple of minutes and the iPod resetted and now I'm back to business.
I think apple should fix this serious flaw in the updater and in the documentation !!!!

It is a mailing in dutch and on paper (N073-0789 Rev. E).
It says:
<quote>
Step 4: Connect your iPod. After a few second the button "recover"will be active. Click on "recover". iPod Updater formats your iPod for Windows XP or 2000.
Step 5: Close iPod Updater after the recoverprocess is done.
</quote>
Between 4 and 5 it should say something about the flashing with the power plug I think.
More important, I think the updater should keep the message in display while the iPod is still connected !
This saves a lot of useless repairs I think (and really missing your iPod for a week )!

Ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window says ipod is in recovery mode and needsto be restored

ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window pops up says ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. what do i do now?

You restore the iPod via iTunes. Don't plug the iPod in. Open up iTunes and then plug it in and then try restoring, if it fails to restore a few times, keep trying. I do it on a daily basis, you're using an Apple product, remember...
EDIT: Do it from another computer if all else fails.

ITunes stopped working on Windows 8. Error message 7: iTunes was not installed correctly.

I have Windows 8. Originally iTunes worked fine, then it couldn't update (said it was unsuccessful). Then it stopped working, so I (after much research) tried a long and tiresome method of removing all Apple products and re-installing them. I did this 3 times and it eventually worked and has been working fine for a few months. Recently, when trying to update, it has said "update successful", but when checking for new updates, finds the same one it supposedly just installed, wanting to install it again. For a few weeks now it has not worked at all, saying "error message 7: iTunes was not installed correctly" when I attempt to open iTunes. I can't bring myself to go through the whole process again of uninstalling and reinstalling everything, it took hours and it clearly doesn't solve the problem. I have no idea what the problem is. Reinstalling only iTunes doesn't work. The support pages have no advice available for my crappy version of Windows.
Please help me!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
It shouldn't really take that long to do, assuming it goes smoothly.
