A Look at iTunes, the iTunes Library, and the iTunes Library Genius
The iTunes application is a multifunctional program that is a free program for use with Macs and PCs. The iTunes application allows users to sync their iPods and iPhones, download music, play digital music, play digital videos, and more. Plus, all of this can be accomplished on a 24-hour a day basis.
The iTunes Library includes all of your imported music as well as all of your iTunes purchases. These purchases can include movies, podcasts, ringtones, TV shows, audiobooks, and games. It is possible to keep multiple iTunes libraries.
The iTunes Library Genius is a new feature in iTunes 8. This feature is designed to create the perfect playlist of songs. The user selects one song from the playlist and iTunes Library Genius is designed to generate an entire list of songs that play well with the song. The individual user can pre-select the number of songs to be generated from 25, 50, or 100 songs.
What Does iTunes error message 13026 mean?
After upgrading to iTunes 8, many users have reported encountering the iTunes error message 13026. The iTunes error message 13026 is displayed along with text stating that the iTunes application could not be opened. One or more files with this application are not working properly either due to a faulty installation or a faulty program design.
How Do I Solve iTunes error message 13026?
I can suggest two possible solutions for solving this issue. It is possible that when you downloaded your current version of iTunes, one or more of the files did not install correctly. Back up all of your files before doing so in order to safeguard all of your downloaded music, videos, games, etc. Try uninstalling and then installing again and your iTunes should work.
Some iTunes users have reported success with solving error message 13026 by removing the iTunes Genius file. This file is only an issue if you have enabled it. Therefore, if you haven’t enabled iTunes Genius, attempt an uninstall and reinstall of iTunes to correct the error.
I suggest you read the forums and make your own decision on this. Personally, I have not had an issue with the iTunes Genius file in my household, so I cannot verify that this fix will work. It might take more than one attempt to install the newest version correctly.
How to Delete the iTunes Library Genius file?
The iTunes Library Genius.itdb file is located in the iTunes folder. Simply access your iTunes folder to delete the file. Please note that if you have multiple iTunes Libraries, you will need to delete this folder from each one.
