Library Created by Newer Version

I was using my computer like I normally do. I had music playing on iTunes, and then I plugged in my iPod to update the music on it. It froze my computer, so I disconnected my iPod and restarted the computer. I double clicked on iTunes and I get this message:
The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a new version of iTunes.
I click OK and iTunes won't load. What do I do? I don't want to reinstall because last time I tried installing iTunes 7 it didn't work.

I renamed it, and it opened fine, and told me that a new version was available, so I'm installing it now. This should work, but I don't know why this happened, I had the newest version already installed

Library Created with Newer Version?

I keep getting this dialog box when I try to open iTunes on my Mac ... says my library was created with a newer version of iTunes ... never had this problem in the six months or so I've had this Mac ... lotso music on there too, so I'm worried. Any ideas?

Did you ever get an answer from Apple Tech Support? I am having the SAME issue only I am on Windows Vista. iTunes said I had to download the 64 bit application, which I did. But when I try to launch the application, it won't let me because of the library error.

My itunes cannot be update on my windows xp. so i delete my itunes and install new, but now i got new problems, it says "The file itune.library.itl cannot be read because it was created by newer version of itunes." so how can it be solved?

Upgraded to 11.3.1 now can't open library. Won't read. I have an older iMac (2008). Message I get is: cannot be read because was created by newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?' ... so I do and it fixes nothing. OS 10.6.8

Upgraded to 11.3.1 now can't open library. Won't read. I have an older iMac (2008). Message I get is: cannot be read because was created by newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?' ... so I do and it fixes nothing. Same message again. OS is 10.6.8.

Thanks again. The option thing got me further than I've gotten thus far but when I went to choose a library I got that same message.
I do have options. I have 2 iMacs. I can still access my music through 'sharing' and download it onto my newer iMac. Trouble is it doesn't have a CD port and I like to burn. From what I've read about their new Mac portable CD/DVD drive, it's shaky at best. Incidentally, do you know of any drives that work well with Macs and cost less than $89.00?
I've figured out I can download a previous library from my old Mac then upload it from the new one which should put me back in business, but what do I do with the corrupt one that's there now, just trash it? Also, when I do the option key my other choice is Create A New Library. Should I do that and put the good previous library into it?
Thanks a million, I really appreciate your time. I'm an old fogey and computers often mystify me, especially when they lock me out of things for no apparent reason.

Just reinstalled itunes due to need to fix msvcr80.dll error; now itunes wont run because itunes library.itl cant be read created by newer version itunes. how do i resolve this ?

By way of experiment, let's first try specifically choosing a library for iTunes to open.
Quit iTunes if that error message is showing. Now hold down your Shift key, and then open iTunes. (Keep holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening.)
You should see a dialog asking you if you want to choose or create a library, as per the following screenshot:
Click "Choose Library ..."
You should now see a screen like the following screenshot:
Select the "iTunes Library.itl" file (shown circled in the screenshot) and click "Open".
Does your iTunes library open without the error?

I just reinstalled and this is the question that show "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?" what do i do next

I just reinstalled and this is the pop up that shows "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?" what do i do next? it just keeps popping up and loading but only gives a quit button?

Update it.
How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update

You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?

Long story short, I made a backup using TimeMachine of my iMac. I got my MBA which was being repaired and i restored from backup. Everything works fine, except for iPhoto which is not saying:
"You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?"
I have OS X 10.7.2 and iPhoto 9.1.4. I've tried:
Repairing permissions
Deleting iPhoto, installing agaian, and updating
Repaired iPhoto Library (stays stuck at 98% when rebuilding database)
I've also tried iPhoto Library manager which cannot even see the library
Tried restoring from backup from iPhoto and it messed up library (I still had my backup)
Quite frustrating - any ideas on how to get iPhoto back to life?

Dunno why Software update was not displaying the latest version of iPhoto (9.2.1 as of January 27, 2012)...updating to this has fixed the issue

After new update, itunes will not launch says "itunes library. itl" cannot be read because it was created by newer version. What do I do to correct this?

After the newest update, itunes will not launch says "itunes library. itl" cannot be read because it was created by newer version. What do I do to correct this?

I have just reinstalled Itunes but i get an error message @cant read itunes library .jtl Was created by newer version of Itunes

I have just reinstalled Itunes but i get an error message 'cant read itunes library .jtl Was created by newer version of Itunes'
How do I fix?

Unless you deliberately downgraded iTunes at the same time this may be a sign of a corrupt library. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

Should I create a new version of my app?

I am upgrading an existing app from "Multi Folio" to "Multi Folio with Entitlement and iTunes Subscription"? Currently, I have created and downloaded the .ipa file. I used the existing Apple ID from Manage Your Apps and can get the new test app loaded, view the library, and download sample issues using a Test User account. But I can't sign in using the entitlement vendor's sign-in page. That could be on my end or on theirs.
So, here is my question: When I get the sign-in process worked out and am ready to upload the binary, will I need to also create a new version of the app in iTunes Connect. Or can I simply use the existing Apple ID from iTunes for the new app in App Builder?
Thanks,
Steve Walburn

Use the existing App ID in iTunes Connect if you want to replace the existing app. Create a new App ID only if you want it to be a different app.

You can't open photo library using this version of iphoto. you have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. please quit and use the latest version of iphoto

you can't open photo library using this version of iphoto. you have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. please quit and use latest version of iphoto. iphoto 11 is installed.

This is a message you got?
If so, as your post isn't clear, it may be a bogus message caused by a corrupt database.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Opening iphoto I get an error message that says "you can't open your current photo library using this version of iphoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto.

Opening iphoto I get an error message that says "you can't open your current photo library using this version of iphoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iphoto." I wouldn't have a clue as to how to change to a new version of iphoto even if I wanted to.

If you don't have a backup you can resort to give this a try:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Image adjustment creates a new version, Viewer distorted or disappears

For the last two days Aperture 2.1.2 creates a new version of of an image when I adjust the image.
Then the image will distort in the viewer - applying excessive edge sharpening or becoming blank or only showing a small part of the image. Applying a definition control trashes the viewer image.
This occurs with images that originate from RAW files or from Jpeg. It is affecting images that had been previously processed correctly.
The master files are referenced and held on the same 500GB drive as the library which has 100gb free.
If I export any of the images that are corrupted in the viewer the image created does not have the corruption.
I cannot remember applying any change to the Aperture program, the change in behaviour started in a session where I had worked on about 60 images. I have restarted Aperture and rebooted the computer and the problem persists and corrected any permissions (none reported as being corrected).
Any suggestions please.
Thanks for any comments

Thanks for pointing out the pref option - unchecking the option does prevent the creation of a duplicate version.
However I still get a blank image in the Viewer when I then change the definition or shadows setting, reset it to 0 and the image returns.
Thanks again for pointing to the prefs option -

This is the message I'm getting when I try to open iphoto. This happened after a member of the genius bar fixed the problem with the download of the update of the Mac OSX combined.

Well, I'll guess it's iPhoto 11 then.
