MacBook Pro's iTunes Wont open!

I try to open my MacBook Pro's iTunes and it wont open. It just keeps saying, "The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Would you like to download iTunes now?" So I click "download iTunes" and something pops up that theres no updates to be made. But then i get the same message over and over again. I even restarted the computer and it still doesn't work! What do I do?!?

I downloaded Piezo to my iMac about a month ago. Now I can't download it to my laptop even though I have authorized the MacBook Pro in iTunes. When I open the App Store, the Piezo app indicates that I have to pay. How do I download Piezo to my laptop, which I am entitled to do?

I'm running Snow Leopard on my iMac. I have a heap of documents that were created using an old word processor application called Apple Works and it wont work on Lion or Mt Lion. So I'm stuck with Snow leopard for the moment. I guess I can't use the new iPhoto either then...

Is the movie still buffering? you may have a slow internet connection. Music files require far less bandwidth than movies.

whoops, didnt mean to post the 2nd part twice .. sorry!

Itunes wont open, tried copy .dll files and safe mode, reinstall it many many times. it just wont work.

got the lastest windows 8.1 and the itunes update recently.
itunes wont open after install of the new version.
tried many ways mentioned on the internet and the apple support communities.
still it doesnt in the "open-mood "

Same problem here. I have Windows 8.1 Pro x64 and iTunes 11.1.5.5 and I cannot open iTunes. I do not know of anyone who can. This is a widely known problem by users but Apple has yet to acknowledge this issue. There is no known solution.

My wife and I both have the iphone and we use my macbook pro with iTunes to sync our ipods. When I do something on my iPhone it shows on hers. How do I set up her a seperate iTunes acct on my mac so she can operate independent of me?

There's info here on setting up separate libraries and user accounts. You won't have to reload (or re-import) all the music, just copy it.
The reason I suggest separate accounts on the Mac is because if you have the two libraries under the same user account, iTunes will also open the last library that was open in that account, and you'll always have to be mindful of which library that is. If you open iTunes and find it's not your library, you'll have quit, relaunch holding the option key and select the other library.
No, you won't have to log in and out of the Mac. (If I'm understanding your question here.) Multiple accounts can be logged in at the same time. And with fast user switching, you can toggle between user accounts.
I'll admit that maintaining the two libraries gets a little tricky, because if you share all the same music, you'll have to add it to one and update the other. (That won't happen automatically.) But I think Home Sharing makes this much easier to do.
Hope that helps!

it said the same think
Ahhh. "QuickTime Player has encountered a problem" is one of the possible messages in this sort of context.
So let's first try swapping out your QuickTime.
Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
Go into Add/Remove and select itunes. Click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. Does it launch properly now?
(If you get an error message on the QuickTime uninstall or the iTunes repair install, let us know what it says.)

My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there!

My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there! iTunes 12.1.0.50 on OS X Yosemite version 10.10. Why is iCloud doing this, and how do I view my content again?

MacBook Pro / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better. Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG. However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.
This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success. So here's what I did:
1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
[also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
5. Go back to the Get Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

Can't import purchased music from iPad to MacBook Pro's iTunes

I bought and downloaded classical music albums to my MacBook Pro's iTunes. They have also apparently been automatically synced onto my iPad's iTunes. Then I purchased and downloaded successfully four classical albums to iPad's iTunes. But when I manually synced the iPad's iTunes with the Mac's iTunes, only one of the four paid albums was fully transferred so it can be played from the MacBook Pro's iTunes. The other three albums only show notices in Mac Book Pro's iTunes that they are "purchased", but there are no digital files that can produce sound. How can I get the digital music files of these purchased albums to be downloaded onto the MacBook Pro's iTunes so they can be played there?

Yes you can. Connect your iPad to your computer, open iTunes, select your device on the left side, right click on the name of your iPad and you can select transfer purchases.
You must authorize your computer as well in iTunes from the menu at the top under Store.

Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start. You have insufficent privileges to start system svc. Help?

Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
Redo the install, following the below procedure. However, when you re-install Itunes, right click and run the install as administrator. For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

ITunes wont open, getting error message, hard drive crash

i had my secondary hard drive die. My windows is on my C: all of my music was on my D:. Now iTunes wont open becuase it cant access D:. If I try to uninstall it tells me it cant find D:. If I try to re-install it says it cant find D:. I have cleaned the registry of iTunes, and it still wont reinstall. Any thoughts, thanks in advanced.

hi Aaron!
error 1327.Invalid Drive D:\
hmmm. that one's consistent with the abrupt change of drive letters too.
have you tried the InstallShield advice on the 1327?

ITunes wont open only error message

iTunes wont open I only get an error message that reads. "The folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the My Music folder" My music is on an exernal hard drive and it worked before I upgraded and now it wont work.
Please help

hiya!
it's best to leave the "My Music" folder on the C drive. it's a Windows special folder, so having it out on an external can cause weird problems if (say) the drive letter assignment for the external drive changes.
okay, here's the best place to start:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, try the alternate technique from the following Nigel Carpenter post:
