Message: "iTunes Libary.it" cannot be read...

Help...
Since removing Itunes7 and reinstalling iTunes6 due to my Ipod no longer being recognised and all the associated problems with it, I cannot start Itunes6 with the following message appearing:
"iTunes Library.it" cannot be read because it
was created by a newer version of iTunes.
I removed iTunes7 completely as per the instructions in this forum.
Can anyone help me on this one.

Ok, I managed to fix that one, but now I get this error when I try and format my Ipod.
.\iPodFormatFAT32.cpp line 1068.
Any suggestions...

    Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

    Perhaps check to see if you're accidentally running two different versions of iTunes. There's some information on troubleshooting that in the Opening iTunes section of the following document:

  • I get the error message itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes

    Hi,
    I had my pc reformatted and win 7 64 bit installed. As I have come to put everything back on the pc I accidently installed the 32 bit version of iTunes. I realised this when certain functionality wasn't working.
    So I uninstalled itunes and all the associated software, bonjour etc etc and have d/l the 64 bit version.
    Now when I try to start up iTunes I get the "itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes" error message and the application will not load.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Dave

    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.

  • I'm getting this error message- "*iTunes Library.itl* cannot be read beacuse it was created by a newer version of itunes."

    I have my iTunes on a Windows XP operating system. My iTunes Library is stored on a external hard drive(H) with a desktop shortcut on the C drive pointing to the H drive where the iTunes LIbrary is located. I have it set up so that when I click the iTunes desktop shortcut it routes to the H drive and retrieves my iTunes Library from there. I've had a hard drive crash before and lost all of my iTunes Library.
    So, if all of that makes any sense, I got a new desktop computer with Windows 7 Operating System and went online and downloaded the most recent iTunes softwear. I then attached the external hard drive from my old Windows XP system to the new Windows 7 Sytem. I routed it the same way I had it on the old system, but i keep getting this error message- "The file *iTunes Library.itl* cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." To make matters worse, I tried to put the external hard drive back on my initial Windows XP Sytem and now its giving me the same error message. I know its alot to digest, but can anybody help me?????

    For general library squiffiness following an upgrade or crash the easiest thing is to restore your last backup, but I guess if it were that simple you wouldn't be here.

    PS There is also a new iTunes build to download today, so might be worth getting that. A new iTunes should always load an older library file.

  • Error message "iTunes library.itl" cannot be read....

    I downloaded the latest iTunes version onto my new laptop. I have Windows 7. I also have an older laptop with Windows XP. I did an Windows Easy Transfer from my old laptop to the new laptop. After I downloaded the latest iTunes and clicked on the box to open it up a box appeared with the following message: "The file 'iTunes library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes". First, What happened and second what do I do to correct this? Thanks

    Welcome to AD! Somebody just posted the same exact question!
    Try these directions:

    The title of the article does not match what you are seeing, but it has worked for others.
    Skip step #2, of course.
    In step #7, instead of dragging the file over, I would copy & paste it. That will leave the original in the same spot in case you ever need it again.

  • ITunes library.itl cannot be read error message after new installation

    Hi,
    I have just downloaded iTunes to install on a new Lenovo laptop running Windows 8.1, and after installation I have received the following error message "iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".
    It was a 'clean' installation - I did not have any previous versions installed and have not yet copied my music across to the laptop or connected by iPod.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I receive the message: The file "iTunes library.itl"cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes. I do not know exactly what this means.  I have Windows 7 on my computer and was able access itunes until just recently.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes multiple times and that does not work.  Sometimes I can get in when immediately after installing, but then if I close it, i cannot get back in. Now, i can't get in at all.

    That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.

  • After upgrading recently I got this message: "The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." The music/video files are still on my MacBook Pro.  Is it because I'm still on 10.5.8?  How do I fix this?

    For your reference I’m using a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8.  Several weeks ago on a Monday I received an upgrade for iTunes. When Tuesday arrived I attempted to log in so that I could download the latest freebie song(s).  I was met w/this message: “The file ‘iTunes Library.itl’ cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.”
    The music/video files are still on my Mac (I’ve verified that via Searchlight), but I’m unable to open the program.  Since I know that 10.5.8 is rapidly becoming prehistoric, could it be that the newest iTunes isn’t compatible w/this particular OS?  I’d like to switch up, but understand that the newest OS won’t work on a Mac of this vintage (6 years old).  In addition, my Adobe products (all CS2) won’t work w/anything newer than 10.5.8, so I’m reluctant to go to a newer OS (I just can’t afford the Adobe upgrade $$$ @ this point). 
    Is there any way to get a download of an “old” iTunes version?  If there were, I’d simply refuse any future upgrades until my personal economy allows me to stop working as if it were 2006.  Please advise, somebody!

    I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes.  You make it sound like it was sent to you.  At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it.  However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible.  iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer.  So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
    Two ways to get the 'newer version' message.  One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version.  Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers.  The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
    The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.
