Can't purchase music with iTunes 4.9

Try to purchase my cart and I get a message "This item requires a later version of iTunes to purchase. This item requires version 6.0 to purchase." These are just songs, no videos. I have not purchased music on another computer with 6.0. I did authorize my husband's new computer (iTunes 6.0 with Windows) to play my music. Is that why I can't buy music now?
I really don't want to upgrade to 6.0. iTunes 5.0 royally screwed up my computer. I was fortunate that I had a clone on the external hard drive and could go back to 4.9.
According to the system requirements, you need a G3 500 MHz to run iTunes 6. I only have a G3 450 MHz. Additional video requirements are G4 with 500 MHz. I'm not even sure I can play music let alone video, so I'm not going to get anything out of 6.0.
Is there anything I can do? Except purchase music on my husband's computer, burn it to CD and then import it?
Karen

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not sure if that will help. I never purchased anything with iTunes 6, I only authorized my husband's new computer with iTunes 6 to play my music.
This is what I heard from Apple about iTunes 6 system requirements:
Dear Karen,
Thank you for your interest in buying music from the iTunes Music Store.
While iTunes 6.0 does have basic requirements, you may attempt at downloading the new version, although we cannot guarantee this will be effective. But, in order to purchase music from the iTunes Music Store you need to be running iTunes version 6.0 or later. You can download the latest version of iTunes at no charge from our website.
I have a project coming up, but when I'm done, I will try iTunes 6 and post back.

  • How can I purchase music from itunes in another country?

    How can I purchase music from itunes in another country?

    You can't - the Terms of Use of the stores state that you can only buy from the country that you are in (e.g. due to licensing/distribution terms etc)

  • Can't purchase anything with iTunes 8.0.2 update

    After updating to 8.0.2, I can't purchase anything on iTunes account. Every time I try to purchase music, a TV show or an application I get the error message that "...due to a problem with the iTunes store I have no available store credit for purchasing..." "I don't have any store credit, I've been trying to purchase with my credit card like I always have been." Has anyone else had this problem?

  • Why am I forced to be connected to internet in order to listen to purchased music with iTunes on iPad? I have wifi only iPad.

    I tried listening to my music with my wi-fi only ipad on iTunes while driving my car. iTunes said I needed to be connected to the Internet in order to find the iTunes store. I don't want the iTunes store, I just want to listen to my music on iPad. Can I bypass the need to be connected and just get to the music? If not..... WHY NOT????

    You don't need the internet to listen to your music. You're probably trying to access the iTunes store app, you need to go to the iPod app, and that is where your music will be if you have synced it over from your computer or purchased it directly.

  • Can't buy music with iTunes... and more

    Dear Apple-people: Don't you test your software before you release it?
    1) With the new iTunes 6.0.0.18 I can no longer buy music from the iTunes Music Store!
    When I add a song to my shopping cart, I get an error message saying that "An error occured...".
    However, the song or album actually gets into my shopping cart!
    When I try to buy what's in the shopping cart, I get another "An error occured...", an iTunes won't let me buy/download the music.
    2) After the release of iTunes 5.x I complained about not being able to transfer more than two songs from my library to my iPod Shuffle 1Gb at a time.
    Apple.com never gave me any solution other than: "Try and restore your iPod".
    Yes... that was the first thing I tried before posting my complaints here.
    Now, after I installed iTunes-6.0.0.18, things are no better. When I try to transfer more than a few songs to my iPod, iTunes quickly disconnects and shortly after reconnects my iPod, and the transfer is cancelled.
    However, if I transfer only one or two songs at a time, I can actually manage to put songs on my iPod, but I'm telling you... it's not acceptable.
    iTunes version 4.x worked without problems.
    What have you done in order to make the new iTunes so unstable?
    It seems that every new release has new bugs in it.
    Sorry about the brusk tone, but I am highly disappointed!
    Don't you test your software?
    Has Apple been bought by Microsoft?
    What is going on?
    And just for reference: no, there is nothing wrong with my USB. I have a digital camera, a memory stick, a scanner, a printer and an external hard drive, all connecting via usb, and all work fine.
    Looking forward to solutions!

  • ICloud Family Sharing - can't purchase apps with iTunes Credit

    My wife and I previously shared the same AppleID on our phones.   When the family sharing became available, it seemed the perfect approach for what we were accomplishing.  I upgraded my wife's phone to 8.x and then moved her back to the Apple ID that I had initially created for her.  I invited her to join the family and completed that setup.
    We then had some iTunes gift cards that she had received and so loaded those to her iTunes account (wife's AppeID) on her iPad.  However, when we attempt to purchase apps on her iPad, it insists on purchasing from my AppleID via my credit card rather than using the iTunes credit.
    Any suggestions?  I've seen posts that iTunes credit cannot be transferred.

    Nope, not actually. The only restrictions Alberta places on gift cards are the following:
    * Not allow expiry dates on gift cards, gift certificates, and vouchers that have been purchased and have monetary value
    * Eliminate inactivity fees, also called dormancy fees, that reduce the value of gift cards the longer they go unredeemed
    * Prevent businesses from not honouring gift cards for purchases that are
    more or less than the value of a gift card
    * Require merchants to fully disclose any restrictions on use of a gift card on both the actual card and its packaging
    To further my point, Apple definately does not abide by the last law (at least in the rest of Canada), as they say nothing on the card or its packaging about not being able to buy apps with it.

  • I can download purchased music but cannot play music from the Cloud

    Is there a problem playing music from the Cloud? I cannot play music with iTunes (PC) and iOS 6.0.1, but I can download purchased music form iTunes Store. Maybe there is a problem with server?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reaosn you have failed to backup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod.  File>Transfer Purchases
