I am unable to get itunes to run on my powerbook g4. Please help!

My sister gave me her old powerbook g4. She erased the hard drive and relaoded the software. I cant get itunes to open or run. It said i needed quicktime so I downlaoded it from the apple site but it still will not run. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a different download that I need? Please help. I am new to apple computers so please be paitcent with me.

Your computer may need a series of updates to bring it up to speed with the last versions of software supported by 10.4  Note that these will themselves be several years old since Apple hasn't supported Tiger for several years.  In particular you cannot upgrade to the newest iTunes or use any brand new i-devices on a computer running 10.4
One way to do updates is to run Software Update.  Do the updates one by one since trying to do many at one time often results in problems.  Use Disk Utility to repair permissions before and after.
For general Tiger update questions I suggest you post on the Tiger 10.4 forum.  As for iTunes, the newest version you can run is 9.2.1 available at
iTunes 9.2.1 (the newest that will run under Tiger) - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1056

  • HT2311 Unable to get iTunes working on iMac with OS X 10.6.8.

    Unable to get iTunes working on iMac with OS X 10.6.8. Have rolled back a couple of versions and same problem. iTunes seems to open but all functions are greyed out and must force quit. Any suggestions would be appreciated. On a couple of occasions have had options available, but once selected it hangs, and then all is greyed out and must force quit. Incidentally going directly to a song (before running iTunes) will open iTunes and play, but all options are still greyed out.

    It could be corrupted preference files, or a corrupted library file. You could try dragging the preference and iTunes library files to your desktop, launching iTunes, and see if the functions will then work. Your songs will of course be missing, but if that fixes the problem, you can put the files back one by one and see which causes the problem. If it's just a preference file, just trash the file and reset your preferences. If it's the library, post back and we can help you rebuild.
    Regards.

  • HT5085 i am unable to get itunes match on my lap top although i can get it on my ipad itunes match has already been purchased

    hi i am unable to get itunes match on my laptop but is ok on my ipad this has already been purchased from apple

    There is no work around, you must wait the 90 days (or however long is remaining) before associating the device with another Apple ID.
    Keep in mind that if you log into your mother's iPad with your iTunes Store Apple ID she will then be using that Apple ID for everything including purchases. Any apps purchsed with her Apple ID can not longer be updated on the device.

  • My computer(A toshiba) crashed and when I bought a new computer(a Mac), my previous apple ID does not word and I was only able to get songs that I bought in 2004. I am unable to authorize my account to get to songs that I purchased recently. Please help.

    If you have exceeded your allowance of 5 machines then Apple will not allow you to authorise additional Computers. If you still have access to your old toshiba fire it up de-authorise it and then try again with the new computer.
    While this won't help if you are having password problems, I did want to point out that you do not need to access old machines to de-authorize them. Once you are signed in at the iTunes store, access "my account" by clicking on your username in the top navigation bar. Then "manage devices".  You can remove any old machines that way.

  • IPad 2 deleted all of my contacts, when I run the Dr. Fone software it shows they are still on my iPad 2 but it costs 60-70 dollars. Is there another way to retrieve them? They were not backed up on Itunes like I thought they were. Please help!!

    Recover software as you have described is pretty much your only option - keep in mind that if wait, some of the currently recoverable data may well be over-written and lost.

  • HT201272 I purchased an audiobook in Nov 2012 using iPhone 4S and then upgraded to iPhone 5 in Dec. Now I am not seeing the audio book in purchase history in iTunes. This means I am not able to get the book in my new iPhone. Please help

    I purchased an audiobook in Nov 2012 using iPhone 4S and then upgraded to iPhone 5 in Dec. Now I am not seeing the audio book in purchase history in iTunes. This means I am not able to get the book in my new iPhone. Please help.

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you don't have it on your computer (audiobooks go into the Books part of your iTunes library) nor on a backup, then if it's still in the store you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I dropped my iPhone and i tried to turn it on but it only comes on at curtain times. And it turns back off when I drop it just a little bit. Sometimes it takes like three days to turn back on. How do I get it to work regularly again?? Please help!!!

    Seems like there is some physical damage causing an intermittent issue of the iPhone being unable to power on.
    You could try a reset:
    - hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
    - the iphone will turn off(keep holding) then when the Apple logo appears release both buttons
    If the reset fails I would suggest next time it powers on to try and back it up to either iTunes/iCloud then you can try a restore to factory settings or just back up and book an appointment at an Apple Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
    All the best

  • ITUNES WONT OPEN OR REINSTALL!!  PLEASE HELP!!

    Everytime I try to open my itunes I get a pop-up saying
    "QuickTime version 7.0d0 is installed, iTunes requires QuickTime version 7.1.3 or later.
    Please reinstall iTunes."
    This message also appears whenever I try to update my itunes or reinstall it. Can someone please help me??

    Go here. Da Gopha, "iTfW: stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes", 09:51am Apr 5, 2005 CDT and do a stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes. That might help. Sometimes extra hidden files can muck up an installation.

    - Last, try DFU mode and restore.
