Getting a newer version of iTunes with osx 10.3.9

I was trying to upgrade to iTunes10, but see I need at least osx 10.5...I only have osx 10.3.9, but cannot seem to find a way to download older versions of iTunes. When I search through the downloads on apple.com I only see iTunes7 and 8 for Windows, not Mac. I had been using iTunes7.6 on an old G3, but the startup disk is full. I have my music on a hard drive, but the iMac I'm now using only has iTunes4 on it. Please tell me how I can upgrade iTunes!

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

  • I recently updated my ipad and then  I connected with my computer forn sync, not realising that I had a new version of itunes with none of my apps. Now I have lost allof the apps and books etc, that I had prurchased. How do I get them back?

    As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • TS3694 I continue getting "the file itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes" with my Windows 7 operating system.  There are no threads devoted to this problem.  Any recommendations?

    I keep on getting the following message:
    the file itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes
    This is occurring on a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7.  It appears no one has ever encounted this problem using a Windows 7 system judging by the lack of threads devoted to discussing this issue.  Is this the end of the road for my participation in the Apple world, or is there a possible fix for this problem?
    I run iTunes on my computer, on my iPad 2, and on my iPhone 4S. 
    Sincerely,
    Ralph W.

  • I am having a problem trying to get the new version of itunes to download correctly to my laptop. I have updated my ipad to the new ios 7, and windows is showing that it has been downloaded but when I connect my ipad, it is saying I have to download itune

    I really need HELP!!! I have a laptop that runs with windows vista, and I have been having issues trying to get it to download the new version of itunes that would be compatible to the new version of ios 7 that I have already updated on my ipad. I have downloaded this three times, it shows that the download is complete, but when I connect my ipad to my laptop it is still telling me that I have to download the new version again and it will not sync with my ipad until I do. Does anyone else have this issue and can anyone help me figure out how to correct it? I would be most grateful!!

    I tried to install the new version of iTunes days ago. It seems like it's going to install and then it comes up with a dialog box that says "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start and to verify I have sufficient priveleges. I don't know what I need to do to get it to install.

  • Since getting the new version of itunes my movies will not play.  Any solution?

    Any solutions?

    I have tried both of your suggestions multiple times but it still isn't working.  I did not have this problem until I installed the new version of itunes.  The names of the songs and the apps still appear in the library but the songs have an "!" to the far right.  I synced my phone which has most of the media on it but it still did not restore the items that say they "cannot be found."  Anymore suggestions?  Have I lost these purchases permanently because I didn't backup itunes before installing the new version?

  • Can't get the new version of Itunes to install either autoupdate or manualy

    I'm having a problem getting the new itunes to install through the apple update software, or doing it manually.
    the Errors I'm getting are "Error writting to file C:\program files\common files\apple\mobile device suport\com.apple.ie.client resources .etc....(I'm just going by memory here. so it might not be toally in the right way.
    Also I'm getting this error when I'm doing it manually (remember doing it by memory here) Error accourred while installing the updates if the problem persist go to tools -> download only.

    Running XP Home edition and new iTunes 10.2.1 will not install for me either. Bonjour.msi is claimed to be missing even though I have tried manual download and install of Bonjour index. This seems a problem since 2008-2009 from Google search and was being cured with Windows Installer Cleanup that is no longer available for download to help this issue. Apple seems to say remove and reinstall but my system will not let me unistall either, even trying to use the proper order as outlined in this support area.
    I know this is just a time bomb waiting to shut me and my phone down. Help? Someone
    the Chkdsk had no result. My Safari also hangs up with no end about 3/4 thru. wanting tghe Bonjour.msi Tried in Add/ Delete Control Panel to restore Bonjour.msi with no result also. Anybody working Apple or just diddling with their phones?? and Pads>>>

  • How do I get the new version of iTunes to display images with podcasts (such as those from UK national Gallery)?

    Since installing iTunes 11 for mac the box at bottom L corner that used to show CD covers has gone - shame but not disastrous. However, i've also lost the illustrations that were transmitted with podcasts - such as those from the UK's National Gallery and the Queen!!!
    Anyone know if there is a setting to switch them back on, please?

    Don't feel bad, sometimes even the most obvious is hard to find. One of the things I do like about Apple products is there is a lot of un-documented features that you will stumble upon, even after years of using the same programs and features. Kind of like Easter eggs.

  • Can I get a newer version of iTunes if operating on OS X v10.5.8?

    Trying to get an iPhone 5 to talk to iTunes but it won't because I don't have the newest version.  I can't download the newest version because my 6 year old Mac is operating on OS X v10.5.8 which is apparently the newst version it will run.  Any solutions?  I am not going to by a new computer when this one works fine for what I use it for.

    You would need an Intel model from 2006 or later and would need to install Snow Leopard.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.

  • How can I get the new version of iTunes to work like the old one?

    When I upgraded to iTunes 11, the next time I synched to my iPods etc, many, if not most, of the favorite podcaststhat  I had saved in my library got deleted.  We are a Mac family and three of us download different podcasts to three different computers.  All our dealings (purchases) have been handled through a single Apple ID account. 
    Since the change to version 11, all the podcasts are jumbled together.  I want to subscribe to different podcasts than my wife or son, but our different computers are being treated as one.   I'll click to be a subscriber and my son will get the downloads, and vice versa.  What a mess!
    Is the registry of all three units to a single Apple ID the source of the problem?

    When you say "not possible," I assume you mean I can't get it to look like the old version.  When I wanted to update the different podcasts, I could hit refresh and select from those available.  That seems off the table.  And what's with the confusion between computers?

  • Just show me how to get this new version of Itunes off my computer.

    Ever since I downloaded this "update",  I looks like itunes puked on my computer.  I hate the way it looks, don't use the
    "cloud".  Spent some time in the 60's there and don't want to go back.  Seems like just as soon as a person gets used
    to using itunes, they change things.  Man, its as bad as Gates Microsoft crap.

    You can make the new iTunes look and feel much like v10 by using the following short cuts:
    ALT shows the menu bar temorarily
    CTRL+B show/hide menu bar
    CTRL+S show/hide side bar
    CTRL+/ show/hide status bar
    To make search more like it was, click on magnifying glass in search bar and uncheck "search entire library"
    If you sitll want to go back you cna download the old iTunes here:
    64 bit
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1577
    32 bit
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1576
    Uninstall iTunes and install the old iTunes.
    You will need to recover the backup library made when you upgraded, see
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1967?viewlocale=en_US

  • HT1209 I have an ipod classic and the new version of itunes, with itunes match.

    I cannot find a way of transferring a playlist from itunes to the ipod classic. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Works the same way it always has.
    If syncing, select the content to sync and sync.
    If you choose to manually manage content, it may be helpful to enable the sidebar by doing Cntrl + S so that it is easier to drag and drop content on the device.

  • HT1338 I have Mac os x 10.5, I'm trying to update to 10.6 so that I can get the new version of itunes so that my new iphone 5 can get my backup of my previous iphone on to it.  Please help me.

    Why can't I just upgrade?

    If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
