Unnable to update to iTunes 10.5, where is the file iTunes.msi
Hi
I'm trying to update to iTunes 10.5 and during the instalation appears the message - the resource that you are trying to use is in a network place that is not avaliable look for the file iTunes.msi.
I use Windows XP
Can anyone help me.
Thank you.
If you are getting msi trouble and the FixiT doesn't work, try the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility.
Unfortunately the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility has been withdrawn by Microsoft because of compatibility issues with Microsoft Office so you will need to find a copy elsewhere – the installer is msicuu2.exe. You need version 3.
Google msicuu2.exe download
mydigitallife in the above search has a copy of version 3
Check for malware before installing it.
After installing, To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install
If you get permission denied error, Try Run as Administrator – an option if you right click on the program.
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Save the files on your PC.
The new version of iTunes doesn't require QuickTime, but according to the blurb some content will not play without it so I have left it in the instructions.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
(To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did *not* uninstall, look out for entries that start All Users that are blank entries or have numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

I cannot open itunes. Getting error message: "the file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes"
What do I need to do so I dont lose all my loaded music, etc.?
ThanksIf you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...

If you've already installed the latest version then the message may be a sign of a corrupt library. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

I cannot download the latest update for itunes because it say the file itunes.msi is missing
I cannot download the latest update for itunes because it says that the file itunes.msi is missing
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
I needed to upgrade my iTunes to register and sync a iPhone 5c. I upgraded by Apple Software and finally was able to download the upgraded iTunes. When I try to start iTunes I get this message, "The file iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. How can I repair this?

The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read...
Ok, here's my problem. I'm trying to figure out how to transfer over all my songs, videos & playlists from iTunes to a new computer. I don't have the new one hooked up yet b/c I need to save all my files first. Well, I thought I was going to need the latest version of iTunes to be able to do this. I have version 7.6 and when I opened up iTunes it asked me if I'd like to download the latest version (8.1). I clicked yes and it opened up an exploror page from apple where it had the download button. I clicked on download and it went through the process. Well, once it finished I clicked on iTunes to open it up and when it did, all my songs and playlists were gone. It looked as if I had downloaded it for the first time. I figured it would be upgrade to the lastest version and all my stuff would be there. Not take all of it away. I freaked out and tried to restore my computer back to it's most recent checkpoint before I downloaded the lastest version thinking it would reset back to the 7.6 version. Well now when I try to open iTunes, I get this message: The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. Now I have no idea what to do. I seem to be worse off than I was before. Even when I plug my iPod in, it gives me the same message. Now I can't open up iTunes at all. So if anyone can help me solve this problem so I can be able to open iTunes again and figure out how to transfer everything to my new computer, I would be most grateful!
Thanks!
Seriously frustrated
Message was edited by: Whitney22One thing to remember is I upgraded to the lastest version, but when none of my files where there, I went into my control panel for the computer and restored it to the most recent checkpoint which was last night, thinking it would reset iTunes to before the upgrade. A sort of "go back in time" fix. Which it did b/c it shows it back to version 7.6. Would that make a difference? There is an XML file title iTunes Music Library that was modified on 3-24-09. Here's another problem. I created a folder for the desktop to start moving files into that I wanted to save for the new computer. I moved an iTunes folder into the new one I created. It's there that I see the Past Libraries folder. But when I go to my C drive and the program files/iTunes, there is no such folder. Obviously b/c I moved it. But what I don't get is when I tried using shift to open iTunes, those older library files weren't there to chose from. There was one from todays date and that's the one I picked. But none of my songs and stuff were on it. So I have no idea why one file will be in one place, but not the other and vice versa. Am I confusing you yet? B/c I sure as heck don't know what I'm doing.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

On my old iTunes sofwear iTune store would not open. I uninstalled iTunes and downloaded the new updates and installed it. Now I get a message that said " The file iTunes Libary.itl" cannot be read becouse it was created by a newer version of iTunes.I did everything it said to do inarticle HT1923 Removing and reinstalling iTunes, Quick Time, and other sofware components for Windows Vista or Windows 7. Now what?
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.

My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

How can I resolve error code -54 in iTunes? I am using the latest iTunes. No new updates are available. I'm using iTunes 11.3 on a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.8. I can't save my library in iTunes, the message just keeps popping up.
From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Although there is no formal list of OSX error code some of the old codes still apply to OSX .)
First, try simply restarting your computer.
Try quitting iTunes, then deleting the .xml (not .itl !) version of the library file in the iTunes folder (iTunes will generate a new one).
iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814 - various things to try.
Unknown error (-54) while syncing ipod - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1082953 - problem was locked files
Why does iTunes keep showing a -54 error when I sync my iPad? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114
Error -54 possibly related to Touch Copy - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114 - cleared by deleting preferences on iPad.

"The file 'iTunes Library.itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." Updates were only offered by Apple when I'd open iTunes. Now I can't open iTunes. How can I access the newest iTunes as an update, not a new program?
this just started w/ me yesterday. I was running 10.5.3, and nothing changed - the message just appeard out of nowhere. I update to the latest iTunes 10.6 but the message is the same.
Sounds like probably some sort of Library file corruption.
The two options available in the message box are "Download" and "Quit". Download is useless because I'm already running the latest. Quit is pretty useless.
I was going to just create a new Library and re-import all my music. Of course, all my iPhone sync settings are going go have to be recreated.
