My iTunes won't open help please! what should I do?

My iTunes won't open, when I try to open it, it says:
"The file 'i Tunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes."
What can I do about this? please help me.

Ps.. My quicktime opens and I can search for music and play it but itunes still wont' open
thank you kindly.
another couple of preliminary questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits.
(1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
(2) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?

  • ITunes won't open HELP PLEASE

    When I try and open iTunes, a message pops up saying, "The file 'iTunes Library' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I never downloaded a newer version, and version 10 just came up today for no reason. It worked like 5 hours ago, but isn't working now. Anyone have any idea?

    I have the same annoying problem! I'm on windows 7 and I've tried everything - from what I could find in Google but to no avail. If someone knows how I can go about solving this error - PLEASE help us!!

  • Itunes won't open - help!

    I have been using itunes for 3 months without any problem and for the past week it will not work. The problem I am getting is when I double click the itunes shortcut, sometimes an egg timer is displayed for 10 secs, then nothing. On other times, I manage to get the itunes licensing agreement on screen. I have tried everything to get it working - I've clicked on save, then agree. I've clicked on save, then disagree but itunes still won't open. I have read through the support section on the itunes website and carried out the following:
    1. uninstalled & reinstalled itunes
    2. uninstalled & reinstalled quicktime
    3. run windows clean up to uninstall itunes & quicktime
    4. rebooted PC so many times and wasted so many hours!
    I am now at a complete loss at what to do next. I still have the same problem - itunes icon is on desktop but nothing happens when I double click. Can someone please please help?
    Thanks

    hi Jackie!
    When I open up Task Manager, itunes application is running and I can't kill the process without rebooting my PC.
    usually i associate that "running itunes.exe process That Will Not Die" symptom with nasty version of the NIS 2005 itunes launch suppressions ... but you've got McAfee ...
    let's quickly check up on a possibility that can also result in you seeing a running itunes.exe (even though itunes silently fails to launch):

    Once you are in Recovery Mode, it's too late to do any backup. I am afraid you are going to lose your data.

    then
    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)

  • Updated version of iTunes won't open HELP!

    After updating my version of iTunes to the most current version it now will not open. After telling iTunes to "run" the hour glass appears next to the mouse pointer and that is the extent of its attempt to open. The hour glass appears, then disappears just as quickly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled on 3 different occasions and have read through "iTunes 7: Answers to frequent installation questions" as well as other user discussion forums with similar problem descriptions and followed the directions but nothing has worked thus far. Please help!!! I need my music!

    (1) do you have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on the PC?
    (2) try launching your QuickTime. does it:
    (a) launch perfectly fine?
    (b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
    (c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)
    (3) reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.

    dell   Windows XP  

    In WIndows goto control panel>add and remove and uninstall iTUnes AND quicktime (No you will not loose music or playlist).
    Now go here and follow ALL steps for removing itunes (Don't download and install itunes yet) especially "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    Scan for malware with your adware/spyware scanner or Ewido http://www.ewido.com
    Now Disable your antivirus and security programs, then goto apple.com and download/install iTunes

  • ITunes won't open - any ideas what's going on?

    Whenever I try to open iTunes, whether from the start menu or with the shortcut, it doesn't work. I get the hourglass for a few seconds, then it becomes a cursor again and that's all. No sign that I just tried to load a program.

    hi Sarah!
    sorry about the delay. i'd had a wee adware problem lately (i got stomped by those irritating Win32.WinFixer, SystemDoctor2006 and WinAntiVirusPro2006 horrors), so i thought i'd download a copy myself and do a field test for you.
    remember to reboot the PC after installing Ewido. click the "Update" button prior to a scan to collect fresh definitions (there were some waiting there for me when i did that).
    probably best to click "Scanner" and then do a "Complete System Scan" to begin with.
    this may take a while. my one took ... 49 minutes and 41 seconds. i don't think that was counting the time spent dealing with the alerts along the way. might be a good idea to settle in with a good book in front of the PC while doing the first scan. (it will probably honk at you quite frequently while it's scanning your cookies, but at other times there might be a few minutes between detections.)
    love, b

  • TS1702 hello, I've downloaded iphoto on my laptop but the app won't open...what should I do? thanks!

    hello, I've downloaded iphoto from my itunes account but it will not open on my laptop...what can I do to open it? thanks.

  • I have a macbook pro and F3 for launchpad and I tried to restore it and its not working. Help please, what should I do?

    Plase help

    Not sure what you are asking here.
    Are you saying that pressing F3 no longer brings up Launchpad?
    If so check System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts
    Follow the instructions at the top of the box. (Double-click "Show Launchpad" and then press the F3 key on your keyboard.)
    Should start working again.
    Also, make sure that System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard "Use All F1, F2, etc, keys as standard function keys" is UNchecked.
