Hello, I have the same issue as you, yesterday iTunes was working fine. It tells me: "It is not possible to read the file "itunes library" because it was created using a newer version of iTunes."

Hello!
I had the same problem, I went to see this link... and I understood, yesssssss!

In French, you need to go to:
My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Rename the file iTunes Library.itl ----> iTunes Library.itl.old
Go to My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Libraries
Select the most recent file (for me, it was iTunes Library 2008-10-10.itl) and make a copy in the iTunes directory, renaming it iTunes Library.itl.
Restart iTunes and normally, it should work!

There you go, I've been searching for a while and I just figured it out....

a folder: iTunes Music
and another folder: Album Artwork

Thank you for your help.

earwenangel · Answer

Well, I have the feeling that something a bit strange is happening to me; I followed your instructions, iTunes reopens but when I try to add all my music back into it, the application crashes and I realize that in addition to the file that I just renamed to iTunes library.itl.old and the other one that I just copied iTunes library.itl which is the copy of my most recent file in "previous iTunes library", a new file is being created each time "iTunes library" and it crashes the application. What should I do???? What did I do wrong?

I don't have "Previous iTunes Libraries"!!!

lesauveur · Answer

Here I am, so happy to have found out how to do it that I'm going to give you the answer... You just need to go to the iTunes file, right-click, select properties, go to general, and uncheck read-only, and there you go, it's done.

kersu · Answer

iTunes is looking for the file in MyDocuments\Ma musique
However, during the installation, the iTunes folder, for some unknown reason, was installed in MyDocuments\My Music

To fix the issue, I simply moved the iTunes folder from the My Music folder to the Ma musique folder...

And there, magic, it works! :)

mohadu 15 · Answer

When it installs a new version, iTunes creates a directory called:

C:\Users\username here\Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Libraries in which it puts a backup of the old library.

So, just delete the new library file (iTunes Library.itl) created by the new version in the directory C:\Users\username here\Music\iTunes\, copy the .itl backup file, and rename it to iTunes Library.itl.

No need to uninstall and restart...
