Go to the first folder that contains your iTunes music, usually the "My Music" folder. Right-click on that folder, select properties and uncheck the "Read Only" part. This solved the problem for me.

Or

You can just Right-Click the iTunes icon on your desktop then click proerties and unclick "Read Only" that is much faster.

If neither of the above work:

Open the registry: Run regedit

Make sure you are at the top of the registry: at "My Computer"

Click Edit - Find, search for "My Music" without the quotes and select Values

For each of around 6 instances, make sure the data points to either of:

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\My Documents\My Music

or

\My Documents\My Music

After you make all changes, Reboot the computer or log-off and log-in.

How do I fix this issue. ITunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes?

It's very easy. Go to C:\Users\(your username)\Music\iTunes and rename the file "iTunes Library.itl" to "iTunes Library.OLD" Open iTunes, go to Help --> Check For Update, download & install the most recent upgrade. Once complete it will usually requires a computer restart. If not, you must close iTunes for the next step to work due to "File In Use" issues.

Then rename your old file "iTunes Library.OLD" back to "iTunes Library.itl". When you next open Itunes your old library will be accessable.

How do you transfer music that you bought on your iPhone 3g to another itunes music library?

I assume you have DRM songs stored on your iPhone. You have to authorize the computer you are working on. Please follow this simple procedure to solve your problem: 1. Run iTunes 2. Click on Store -> Authorize computer... 3. Close iTunes 4. Transfer your songs using a third-party software such as CopyTrans (http://www.copytrans.net) 5. Then, you will be able to play DRM songs in iTunes. I hope this will help to solve that issue.
