How to update from itunes 6 to 8 or 9 under 10.4?

Hi,
As my title says really, i'm running itunes 6 on my 1.25ghz powerbook G4 and want the latest version i can run. Where do i get it from?
Thanks

Niel provides a link but note this is the "last" (version 9), not the "latest" (version 10) in terms of what will run on a G4. iTunes 10 requires an Intel Mac. Just beware before you buy any new Apple gadgets which will probably soon only work under version 10.

How to regress from iTunes 7 to iTunes 6.0.5 (Windows)

How to regress from iTunes 7 to iTunes 6.0.5
1. Make sure you have a copy of the iTunes 6.0.5 installer. If you no longer have one, download it here:
http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/product=11622&cat=1&platform =osx&method=sa/iTunesSetup.exe
2. Shut down iTunes 7 if it is running
3. Uninstall iTunes 7 via the Add/Remove Programs control panel.
4. Go to your iTunes MUSIC folder (usually C:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes). You will see two files called "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Music Library". These belong to iTunes 7, DELETE them.
NOTE: Take care not to confuse this with the iTunes INSTALLATION folder, which is usually C:\Program Files\iTunes.
5. You will also see a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries". Look inside, there may be several copies depending upon your upgrade history with names like "iTunes Library 2006-09-12". Take the most recent one (the last one used by iTunes 6) and COPY it up to the folder C:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes. Now RENAME this file back to simply "iTunes Library".
NOTE: To copy a file in Windows, right-click the file and choose "Copy". Now go to the folder you wish to copy to, right-click in the empty folder space and choose "Paste".
NOTE: To rename a file in Windows, select the file and press F2. Now type the name you want and press ENTER.
After this is done, your iTunes MUSIC folder (C:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes) should contain the following objects:
a) The file "iTunes Library" that you just copied there and renamed
b) The folder "Previous iTunes Libraries"
c) The folder "iTunes Music"
6. Now reinstall iTunes 6. All your playlists and ratings will appear as if nothing had happened. And, your Shuffle will work once more.

very awesome, its nice to have working itunes again,
and be able to do things and still listen to music. I
already god all the album art and games onto my ipod,
so i can live not updating my ipod again until they
get around to fixing this.
Once again thanks for the guide, helped me out a
whole lot
You are welcome. There is a lot of noise here, I thought I would add something purely technical.
One quick addition: The correct extension for the file "iTunes Library" is .ITL. If you have Windows set NOT to "Hide extensions for known file types" you will see this extention, e.g. "iTunes Library.itl".
Be careful when renaming this file to retain the .itl extension. If you do erase it, put it back so iTunes can recognize it.

Update from itunes 9.1 to 9.2 fail, can't start bonjour service, window 7.

I am on windows 7
I try to update from itune 9.1 to 9.2 with the update tool.
When the install starts, after few steps, it trys to start the bonjour service and it fails.
How do I solve this problem?

Same problems here. Got an older itunes installed to activate my new iphone 3gs. Activated and updated the iphone's OS. After the update the iphone requires itunes 9.2 however.
Tried installing 9.2. Bonjour service cannot start, install rolls back.
(whenever i refer to bonjour "dying", i mean it cannot be started due to priviledges missing - i'm the admin lol - or service specific error 6 (0x6) in event viewer)
Uninstalled and reinstalled itunes/quicktime/bonjour several times. Got bonjour working again a few times. During 9.2 installation however, it always dies.
Tried the reloading thing (about 20 times), no go.
Tried installing Airport 5.5.1 for windows which supposedly has a better bonjour installation. Seemed to work for bonjour. However, upon installation of itunes 9.2 bonjour still dies and the install rolls back.
Tried registry changes to grant bonjour full permissions.
Tried giving the bonjour service itself administrator rights to see if i could manually start the service, no go (could not log on).
During all this i have also pilfered with windows firewall (setting exceptions or shutting it off completely), windows defender turned off, uninstalled AV and similar completely, used msconfig to make startups without anything but the itunes/quicktime/bonjour specifics, and still no go.
I'm at my wits end and tired of searching for a solution. Heeeelp!

How to update from 3.1.3 to 4.3.3, but not to 4.3.5?

Hi, I want to know how to update from 3.1.3 to 4.3.3, while the newest iOS version is 4.3.5
I think Apple won't let me update to 4.3.3. Does anybody know how to do it?
Your answer would be deeply appreciated. Thank you

UPDATE TO IOS 4.3 MANUALLY(CANNOT UPDATE TO 4.3 BY APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE)
FIRST= Download the iOS 4.3 IPSW file for your device FROM NET
SECOND- Connect your device to the computer using the USB cable and wait for iTunes to detect it.
THIRD- Once your device has been detected – follow the steps given below for different OS.
For Windows – Hold the Shift key and then click on the "Check for Update/Update" button.
For Mac OS X – Hold the Option key and then click on the "Check for Update/Update" button.
4-
In the next dialog browse to the file that you downloaded from Step 1 and select the IPSW file.
5
iTunes will now use the IPSW file and update your device to iOS 4.3. The process should take around 10-20 minutes.
That’s it. Your device will be updated to iOS 4.3 with ease.

My computer popped up with an update from iTunes several days ago. I downloaded the update. When I went to open iTunes on my computer, it gives me the following error messages...
Missing MSVCR80.dll file.
Error 7 (Windows error 126)
I tried to download iTunes again from the website and repair the problem, to no avail. I've tried several times, but cannot get it to open. I have a Windows 7 machine. My iPhone 5 and iPad work fine and have not asked me to update. I've never had a problem with iTunes before. I hate to delete it entirely from my computer and start over. I'm afraid I'll lose all the music I have downloaded there. What do I do?

I just want to bump this and say thank you soooo much.
I upgraded to itunes 7 today (I have an ipod mini) and everything was fine except I couldn't upload anything my ipod...sooo frustrating, so when I saw this I followed your steps and voila, I can upload music again!
Thank you...and apple should really check the programs before letting people upgrade...also if the newer pogams don't work for the older devices, they should make a note so people don't make that change.

Can anyone tell me how to update from 4.2.6?

Check to make sure you don't have two firewalls (i.e. a Windows firewall and one on your router).
If that's not it, you may need to dig deeper ... like temporarily changing your router's DNS to use Google's DNS or OpenDNS instead of your ISP's DNS. Or maybe open up a certain port on your router (not sure which one that would be though, sorry). Or, if your computer is connected to the internet over wi-fi, try connecting to your router (or modem) via Ethernet, I heard of that solving a problem like this (though I can't confirm if that was real).

Ipod incorrect update from itunes

I recently connected my 30GB Ipod Video to my laptop running Windows XP Pro. Once connected itunes said it needed an update once updated it doesn't work now. On the screen of the ipod whilst disconnecte4d it says to connect to itunes and reformat it. Also trying to access it through My computer when its in disk mode or normal mode it says it isn't formatted and asks if i want to e format it. I don't want to format it because there are files on iot that i would like to retrieve, is there anyway of retrieving these files? Also has anyone else had this problem?

One major thing i forgot to mention was that itunes didn't recognise my ipod as a 5th gen and updated it for another ipod, thats why this topic was called incorrect update from itunes.
