Do I have to upgrade to iTunes 10? I have 8 but can't get to the store past the advert for 10.

What I really want is to access courses on iTunes U. but guess I have to do that thru the store, which asks me to sign in. When I use my apple I.D. I'm told it hasn't been used at the store yet, and eventually leads me to a payment form.
I read on Apple that there's a go around to avoid giving credit card info, but you have to access store tab options first (video, apps, etc), and none of those show up. Only a big adver for version 10. I'm guessing I have to download 10 to get to the regular store front I've seen before (months ago?)
But iTunes doesn't make a distinction between Downloading and Upgrading, and not having done this before, I'm not sure if I'll lose what I have by changing to v10? iTunes says material may be lost if the current store doesn't carry what's in my library (something like that).  I'd like to leave well enough alone if possible.
My question then is, do you have to have version 10 in order to access the normal storefront?
Thanks in advance for any reply!

Thanks Niel. I'll go ahead and upgrade..
Wish the advert page would say more like a window saying you can't proceed until.. or a link for instructions to upgrade including what to back up first. For the longest time I was thinking it was a sign-in issue.

  • Just upgraded to ios 8.1.3 but can't get my contacts or calendar to sync with my iPhone 5S

    just upgraded to ios 8.1.3 but can't get my contacts or calendar to sync with my iPhone 5S - any help would be appreciated

    I found  a solution that worked for me:
    What I did:
    1. Uninstalled iTunes, but didnt need to remove other related software components
    2. Downloaded and installed iTunes from here (as you suggested): iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    3. I didnt have to reset Sync History or change anything and it works!
    Hope it can help you too.

  • I have multiple emails associated with my i phone, but can't get my mac to associate some of the email names because it is associated with other apple id , but it's my id. how can i get around this?

    - Try contacting iTunes for the password problem:
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    - For the other problem you can try a reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - The next standard thing to do is to download/install a new app but you cant 'do that.
    - Instead, try restoring from backup.

    I have cables hooked to my MacBook and HGTV, but can't get tv to display.  Help!

    Are you using a Mini DisplayPort or a Mini-DVI adapter on your MacBook? What input are you using on the TV, VGA, DVI, Composite, Component or HDMI?
    Also it would help to know which one of the 21 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier.
    And the make and model of your TV.

    OK, thanks for that.
    Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
    Reset the printing system:
    - Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

  • Upgraded to iTunes 10.2.1 and can't get new season pass episodes

    After downloading and installing iTunes 10.2.1, I have stopped receiving emails for season passes. More frustrating is that even though I see that the most recent episodes are available in the iTunes store, iTunes is telling me that all purchases have been downloaded for this account. I checked my account settings and it still shows that I have season passes and that they are still active. Any ideas?

    I am having the same issue. It tells me that I cannot download them but that they will be available later. But they should have all come on Friday/Saturday. Definitely a big bug with this as I have 4 season passes. What gives Apple????

  • I want to change my password but can not get passed verification even though the answers are correct, so I have asked for an email and none has come.Can some one help?

    I have tried to change my password and get to the part where you need to verify by answering the questions, and I get can not get any further, as it tells me the answers aren't the ones they have but I know it is correct, so I have asked for an email to be sent, but no email comes.I receive other emails from iTunes but not the one helping me to change the password. Has any one got any idea why?

    Contact iTunes customer support, no one in these user to user support forums can assist  you.

    There is no installed OS or you have a dead hard drive. Start by booting from the original installer disc that came with the computer or an installer disc that has a later version than the original such as a Snow Leopard DVD. Then you can do this:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • I'm moderately competent, but can't get exchange to work with the 2 upgrade

    My original iPod touch synced perfectly with my Outlook 2003 at work, both contacts and calendar until I updated to 2.0 to enable downloading applications. Now I get the "OutlookSyncClient.exe has encountered an error and must close." Error. I have tried all fixes and will have to move on, unfortunately, unless there’s a fix out there.
    This is a corporate email/calendar and I can’t change every entry. It also involves Microsoft exchange, so I’m not sure how the .pst file is involved. Nevertheless. I have tried all the fixes that I can and nothing works. This device has been worthless for the last six months. Clearly something is wrong. I have tried many different computers networked to my account to try and diagnose this. Nothing works.
    Any ideas? Anyone?

  • My friend needs to upgrade her Macbook Pro OS X but can't get into her internet. I would like to download the update but would need to use my password. Is this possible or should I just wait for her password?

    My friend needs to upgrade to Yosemite but her network is faulty. I told her I would upgrade for her on my network. I don't have her Apple password at this time so I thought I would use mine. Is it possible to use my password and ID for this download?

    She gave me her ID so everything is going as it should. That's what I thought but in a moment of wait I thought I would ask.
    Many thanks,
