  I have a Windows 7 laptop I want to back up the same on a Windows laptop 8.  Should I bring all the files on the Windows 7 laptop to Windows 8 laptop computer including my music/itunes and program/itunes files.  It has worked for years.  All of a sudden I get a message when you go to itunes on the laptop computer of Windows 8 that say 'cannot read itunes library.itl because it was created by a different version.'  This is different from the case referred to the support forum where people want to deliberately use an earlier version of itunes.  I want to use on the laptop Windows 7 and Windows 8 for the latest version of itune laptop.  To make sure that I have request for updates on two laptops from itunes and received responses that I already have the latest version installed on two laptops.  I can access itunes on the Windows 7 laptop, but not Windows Mobile, 8.  How to get around this indication false error on my laptop Windows 8?   I have the latest version and the itunes and all files have been created using the most recent version.

  You have identical versions of iTunes on both machines?  The two latest updates of iTunes (12.3.3, 12.4.0) have included both updates of database for the latest library files can only be read by older versions.

  Also note that you should not try to replicate the folder iTunes program between computers - there is a high risk that the results will be unpredictable, especially since you're moving between two different editions of Windows.  There is really no need to do this - there is no data stored within the hierarchy of program files, who wanted to be replicated on several PC.

• Move iTunes library to a different location on the computer

  Hello

  I use the latest version of iTunes running on MacBook Air El Capitan. I'd like to keep my music library on my Mac itself that I travel and may or may not have connectivity.

  Now, my library grew to about 45 GB and get the crisis for space on my MacBook.

  Question: I have an extra car for the MacBook and you want to move my entire library over there, but don't know how to do without adding all the files again. (I have 45 GB of songs but only 65 to 70% of it are added to ITunes). Also note that I have disabled the option move files added to the iTunes folder.

  Thank you

  However, you say that you have disabled iTunes organize media. I too use this setup and moved to my library from player to player, but I did pass my HDD and the system to another drive. I suspect since you use songs outside the normal structure that iTunes must use the addressing very specific to keep track of these files and this address should not remain the same on the new drive.  You do not specify files scattered how are.  You can (or not) find that copy the folder iTunes main and all the individual media files wherever they are exactly the same directory structure, more to appoint the external drive exactly the same thing that your internal drive doesn't work. Moving a library to another drive when the Manager media yourself is not something iTunes like and is a consequence of do you things like that.

  Hello darealguty,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  iTunes 9.0.2 version is compatible with Windows 7. You could try the following to see if it helps.

  Go to the iTunes folder. Right-click and select Properties. Uncheck the read-only box.
  Click on apply, click OK to change all subfolders. Click OK.
  Now check and see if you can open iTunes.

  If this is not enough, then you must go to http://www.apple.com/support.

• Itunes library from scratch the external HARD disk

  Hello, I searched, but most of the questions is related to mobile phones an existing library to an external HARD drive. I have two questions:

  1 - What are the steps to create a new itunes library where all the content is on an external HARD drive. In addition, news will be also added and updated to this HARD drive, not for the Mac. I use other computers and media can be added to those on the HARD drive.

  2 - I currently have a Macbook pro 2015, but I plan to buy a Mac Mini for my media center. Time, because I want to update content still on the HARD drive, it will be easier start the process again on the Mac mini, or using the existing library of move then?

  Thanks a lot for any help

  1. Press on and hold down the Option key while you click on the icon to launch iTunes. Keep now until asked to choose or create a library. Click on create. I would recommend that you make the library in the root of your chosen drive and call the iTunes folder.
     See also Open a different iTunes library file or create a new Apple Support one-
  2. You can connect this external hard drive to the Mac mini and the Option-start-iTunes to connect, or to copy the iTunes folder that is all about the internal drive (assuming that there is place) and connect here if you prefer. Restarting loses ratings, play count indictment, playlist membership, date added, etc. and can mean the loss of data if you have devices that synchronize normally to your library. Avoid it if you can.

  See make a library of portable split to the bottom on the manipulations of the library if you want to keep the data of your current library after all.

• Empty and closed iTunes library iTunes Library.itl file.

  Every time I open iTunes, my library is empty.
  I ve already tried to open iTunes, all holding the SHIFT key, but not matter which library I get, iTunes opens always empty.
  After trying that, I started to look around for other ways to recover from my library. People told me to uncheck the 'read only' to my iTunes folder. I did, but I received a message stating that the iTunes Library.itl file was locked and I had no access. I clicked on 'ignore' and uncheck the rest of the files and folders have given no problem.
  I then examined the .itl file, the read-only box was not checked, to my surprise. However, the option of archiving, a. But because the file is locked, I couldn't change a thing.
  After that, I read about "unlocker", I downloaded then, but that has not changed a thing either.
  Also, when I checked the iTunes folder earlier, the read-only option was checked again!
  I hope someone here can solve my problem, because I have really no idea how solve it on my own now.
  Thanks in advance!

• I can stream movies on my PC using the desktop PC monitor. But when I unplug the monitor and use a PC to TV HDMI cable I get the video but the audio now

  . Video streaming

  I can stream movies on my PC using the desktop PC monitor. But when I unplug the monitor and use a PC to TV HDMI cable I get the video but the audio now... Suggestions?

  Thanks for the file INF. I ck'ed for driver updates and I have the latest drivers installed.  I got the sound working on the TV by hanging the audio output of the PC to the entrance of the TV with the HDMI cable in place for video. It's the simplest solution to this problem, so I took it.

  By the way, I have a Dell 620 with windows 7.

  For groups or layers Warp independently of their parent group, add a "+" to the beginning of the name of the layer in PS / HAVE. It's the same select group in the Panel of puppets and by checking the Warp option independently in the properties panel.

  Once a group is warping independently, it will be attached to its origin at the origin of the group from its parent by default. You can join a different handful in the parent using the fix to the popup in the properties panel. In Preview 3, if you want to move the origin, you need to do in PS / HAVE. In future releases, you will be able to change the origin directly in the Panel of the puppet.

  If this doesn't solve your problem, you can post a screenshot of the hierarchy of layer here, to see if there is another structural problem.

• Deletion of albums of my iTunes library also removes the songs from these albums of my playlists

  Hello! I wonder if there is a way to delete albums of my iTunes library without removing songs from these albums of my playlists.

  I take my playlists seriously enough (because I know others do too) and would not that they be tampered with. The songs I have in them that I'm here for a reason and a lot of these songs are single whole albums I've saved in my iTunes library. I just recently the desire to clean my library because he got rather crowded with reckless decisions, but I can't do it until I have a solution. I'm glad that I remembered that this might affect my playlists before any serious damage was done.

  I still have to find a question like this or a setting that would allow me to do. Please help me if you have an idea of how to go on this subject! Thank you very much in advance

  No, you cannot delete an album on iTunes and at the same time not delete tracks. You could potentially change the details of the track so that less albums appear in the library, but I'm reluctant to even suggest that he. Data are always more easily thrown only recovered later.
