• How to get around a fake "cannot read itunes library.itl?

  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.

  How are you "Portage" your library data?  The error message may indicate a corrupt library file.

  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.

• do not download itunes open said the itunes library file cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes

  The iTuneslibrary.itl file cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes

  Hello

  This error prevents the launch of iTunes. The library file has been modified to work with the new version of iTunes, so it is no longer compatible with the previous version. The good news, however, is that Apple save the iTunes library file in a subdirectory that allows you to revert to the previous version.

  
  Method 1:
  You can try the steps to recover a previous version of the iTunes Library.itl file.
  a. open your folder My Documents\My Music\ (Itunes).
  b. we backup the current version first. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library.itl.bak to something.
  c. go to the My Documents\My Music\Previous of iTunes libraries folder.
  d. you can see several files that start with the iTunes library and have a date included in the name. Copy the new file into the folder.
  f. return to the my documents\Ma music and paste the file in the previous step. (The folder in step 1)
  g. rename the new file copied to iTunes Library.itl.
  Your library should now be restored to the previous version of iTunes, and the problem is solved,
  
  Method 2:
  If the problem persists then you can also uninstall and reinstall iTunes and check if it helps:
  Remove and reinstall iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

• gone forever iTunes library?

  I recently reset my Windows laptop because it becomes slow. I lost all my files in the process, and unfortunately, I do not think for the backup of my iTunes library. I think I have in the past, but when I opened my iTunes and connected it shows nothing. I tried to check my cloud, that may be in my music, and that did nothing.

• listed in the iTunes library, but when try to read message indicates missing.

  My iTunes are listed, but when I try to play I received the message that they do not find.  When I try to add music to the slideshow, the entire library is not listed only a few songs.

  If you know where is the iTunes library:

  Open iTunes while holding the Alt/option key, iTunes asks you which library to open, iTunes point to him. He later recalled.

• Why don't the addition of metadata to be added manually in the iTunes library song change metadata in Windows Explorer and anywhere else?

  Adding metadata to a song in the iTunes library has no effect anywhere else (as in Windows Explorer or the Groove music).

  I would like to know if I have disabled this in error or if it is not guaranteed to all visitors.

  Where it is not provided to customers, I would like to know how iTunes stores this metadata and whether it can be automatically sent to the library of Windows.

  Thank you.

  A reason of changes committed to iTunes cannot be is covered in the tip of the user, fix the iTunes for Windows security permissions but iTunes usually returns to the original data if you probably don't see this particular problem. The other possibility is of several tags.

  Several tags (Mp3 files only)

  The ID3 specification allows files to have several tags in different versions and languages, but iTunes does not work properly with simple tags. When multiple tags are present it can sometimes do not apply updates to the tag that reads back (probably update one of the others in the file) and it is also possible that the iPod and iTunes may have different rules for the tag that they give priority to. This could lead to situations where everything is properly organized in iTunes, but then inexplicably collapses on an iPod, or tracks that display different information in Windows Explorer or another media player. There are tags 3rd party editors that allow to manipulate several tags, but I don't have a casual recommendation. A workaround in iTunes is to use the context menu convert the ID3 Tags... > None a few times to remove all the labels, then convert ID3 Tags... > v2.3 to build a cool tag with information still held in the iTunes database. I've read in the past that iTunes is not completely compatible with the specification v2.4, although this may be the case, support is more however for v2.3 is widespread, then I would say using v2.3 to v2.4. All embedded work will be deleted so it must be replaced if wanted. For Windows users running a script named CreateFolderArt before and after the cleaning process tag should handle this.

  Note that some data, for example the sides and the counties of game, is only stored in the database internal iTunes and not surrounded by tags.

• Do remote iTunes library default?

  Is there a way to configure iTunes to use a default remote iTunes library?

  My main iTunes library is on an iMac and another Mac I want to use this default iTunes library.

  I work sharing at home between the two systems.

  Thanks in advance

  Rohit

  It's a little involved if you want to leave the library on the main drive of the first computer.  Will be have to make the folder containing the library reading and writing of the computer, so make sure that the first computer is always turned on and wake up when you use iTunes on the second computer. In addition, you can only use the library to a computer at a time.

• Edition of songs in the iTunes library

  Now, something seems to be missing. In the past, when I wanted to make a correction or add information about a song from my iTunes library, I just skimmed the text cursor, I wanted to change. Finally, I would have the opportunity to make changes. Now, there seems to be no way to make changes. A typical example is a song whose title has not been demonstrated (I have a lot of that). In any case, I found it impossible to type in the title. How can I do?

  Have you tried this:

  Highlight a song in your list. Go to the Edit menu and choose read information. You can make changes in the pop-up window.

  (It was in the Preferences section. None. I found it by chance.)

• Cannot move iTunes library.itl on the desktop

  When I turned on my PC today, I found all my iTunes library has been deleted no aparent reason.

  Fortunately, I had saved a copy of the library and all the playlists in my hard drive, but in any case whenever I open iTunes, now it says that the library is corrupted, so I have to import the saved old library every time. My music is not lost, but it's annoying to do this, of course.

  So I read Apple's Support article on the recovery of the iTunes library, and I tried to follow the steps but when I come to step "Drag the iTunes Library.itl file to your desktop", an error (I'll try to translate it because my computer is in Spanish, it may not be the exact words) :

  "This file cant't be moved due to an unexpected error." If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to get help for this problem.

  Error 0 x 80070570: the file or directory is corrupted or unreadable. »

  How may I order? I know the other option is to delete it, but I can't do either.

  It is without saying I have not iTunes open when I do this task, of course.
  Also, I looked at the error, but Microsoft did not have an appropriate response. He asked me if I tried to change the directory of the file, but I'm afraid I don't know how to do it.

  My operating system is Windows 7

  Any help is appreciated, thanks

  Restart your computer. See the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library.

• Can I move my itunes library to icloud?

  Since I have free space, I want to keep my music to icloud. I know that Itunes game is the solution for this, but since I've already bought space in icloud I don't see the reason to pay Itunes game.

  I saw that in Itunes > Preferences > advanced, you can change the location of media from Itunes (IMF) folder. If I copy my current MFI to the Icloud folder and edit the route as described, this book?

  I guess the same question arises for users who want to store their music on Google Reader.

  Thank you!

  Hello

• IMovie 09 with El Capitan will not otherwise pictures/iphoto or itunes - projects lost forever?

  Simple (I hope) questions on imovie and iphoto/photos/itunes... Well simple enough...

  I use imovie 09 with El Capitan. As you know that el Capitan not including iphoto, imovie 09 can no longer access to iphoto.  Pictures is the replacement for iphoto and imovie 09 will not otherwise be. Finally, imovie 09 access is more itunes.

  I have so many projects that are now useless, like all pictures and external soundtracks are more accessible.

  IF I update to imovie 10 version (a snip at £10.99 apparently)...

  (a) my imovie 09 projects will be viable, IE. will be links to the (ex-iphoto, now photos) images and itunes files to recovery for my old projects are not lost forever?

  (b) the new imovie will be able to access photos and itunes as good old imovie 09 used to before el capitan burned its bridges for her?

  This may be academic, because in some things I can't access my old projects in any case. What is scary and sad.

  But any assistance gratefully received. Thank you!

  I use imovie 09 with El Capitan. As you know that el Capitan not including iphoto, imovie 09 can no longer access to iphoto.

  Have you tried updating iPhoto version 9.6.1? This version works well on El Capitan and iMovie 9.0.9 shows iPhoto libraries in the photo browser. The screenshot below is from iMovie on OS X 10.11.5 9.0.9: I don't have older versions of iMovie, if they are still able to see the iPhoto library.

  

  You can update to iPhoto 9.6.1, if you have a version of iPhoto 11, which shows the history of your purchases on the App Store in, see user Barney'a trick:

  Can't update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store.

  Your question (a)

  I migrated libraries iMovie 9.0.9 to 10, some time ago, and the conversion was lossless. But I can't test what will happen now.

  Your question (b)

  iMovie 10.1.2 shows me all the libraries of my picture in the Media tab - the iPhoto, Aperture, photo library library library, also a long time that you have installed the compatible applications.

  And the iTunes Library will accomplish in the Audio tab.

• Backing Up iTunes library match disc kept on external

  I thought iTunes game to give me more space on my MacBook. After reading of do and keep a backup of your iTunes library and only flows from the cloud, I think that to understand the process of creating the library on an external drive. Like iTunes game isn't like an online backup, I wonder how those who have an iTunes library and to keep them on an external drive, make the choice to save this library. My hypothesis is that it can no longer be backed up with Time Machine and who, in fact, it would be finally crushed on Time backup Machine.

  And, a follow-up on the subject that I linked above, a section reads, "then close iTunes and open it again while holding the Option key and choose"new library". In the empty library do not let iTunes scan for new content but activate iTunes game. Let the full scan. Now you will see all your music in the cloud and power to listen. "This empty library is created on the external MacBook rather than on the hard drive? I don't see a response button for the answer on the page of the subject.

  Hello

  I changed the above highlighted above as follows:

  The new library should be created on your computer.

  claybeez says:

  Fix.  The backup will be on the drive external hard, but you can include the external hard drive in your time machine upwards.
