Trouble getting into iTunes
I have just bought a new laptop. I have downloaded iTunes but when I try to get into it I am given the following error message - 'The file iTunes library cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes'- Any ideas what I should do next? Im Stuck...
Usually you get this message when you install a version of iTunes which is earlier than the version you used to create the iTunes library file.
You get this situation when downgrading.
Could you clearify your situation, are you using iTune data copied from a previous computer and also which version you installed?
Assuming you are using old data, something quick you can try is to drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml from your iTunes folder to the desktop, then try starting iTunes. It should start with an empty library. You can then add your music files in the normal way. If you want to recover playlists, the librayr can be recreated fromt xml file as in the Apple article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
If this is a completely new installation of iTunes without old data from another PC, then that's somehing different and I am not sure about how to deal with it at this stage.

Trouble getting into iTunes Shopping Cart
Everytime I try to get into my iTunes Shopping Cart, I get a message that "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable". However, when I try to add a song that I know is already in my shopping cart, it acknowledges that the song is already there.
I also have no trouble browsing songs in the iTunes Store.

My Ipod touch wont allow me to get into itunes. So I downloaded some apps through istore onto the itunes on my computer, yet it still wont allow me to sync them to my ipod. It doesnt even give me the option to do so. The only things syncing to my ipod are music and pictures. Can anyone please help me??
You need to restore the iPod on the new computer. You can only sync apps (and some other stuff) from different computers/libraries but you can manage music and some other stuff among different computers/libraries.
You need to restore you iPod and see the following regarding the pairing error message.

How do I get into iTunes to access Netflix, when I get "iTunes unable to connect until time has been set", after submiting my password?
You need to follow the instructions in this article that best apply to your situation:
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
If you do not have a backup in either iCloud or iTunes, then you will have no way to retain the information on your device because you will have to restore it in order to access it again.
Sorry,

I cant get into itunes producer keep getting an error my username and password is incorrect. i have made a new one all good still same error any ideas?
I'm having a very similar problem.
I'm based in the U.K. and am trying to publish an iBook through the iTunes bookstore. I have made my book in iBooks author 2.0. My iTunes is up to date.
When I try and publish the iBook I have passed and ticked the Pre Publish Check; and the Create Account, but when I try and download iTunes Producer through iTunes Connect I'm told "Your Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Content."
When I try and re-set my iTunes Store account I'm told "The iTunes Store Account has already applied to distribute content on the iBookstore." Of course it has I just did that.
If I try and sign in to iTunes Connect through the Publishing pane I'm told "Your ID or Password was entered incorrectly." Even though I've just used it to sign into iTunes (and here), so my password and Apple ID work fine elsewhere.
Is my access to the iTunes Connect being delayed while my submission is processed, i.e. the processing of my tax and account details? Or am I stuck in a loop?
If this is still processing (I started this 20 hours ago) I assume that I have to submit the book itself when I can download iTunes Producer at a later date, as I haven't submitted the book yet?
I emailed the problem to iTunes Store and was refered to [email protected], only for them to say they don't read or reply to emails sent to that address??????
I'm not sure which part of the process I've reached - if any. I feel I'm in limbo. I have an iBook ready to go - but where is Apple?
Any help would be most welcome.

Cannot get into itunes via Mac keep getting error −50 ? help please
Make sure your Mac's software is up to date.
Open system Preferences > Software Update > Check Now.
Restart your Mac after all updates are installed.
Then try iTunes.
Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
Troubleshooting advice can depend on that information. -
