I can no longer access the iTunes store, I get a message saying I need to update iTunes but cannot as I am on Mac OSX 10.4.1

I have an account with the iTunes store but can no longer access the store because I get a message in iTunes store window telling me to update to an iTunes version that will only run on Mac OS 10.5. I am on Mac OSX 10.4.1 and do not plan on upgrading that version.

This is what I had to do to access iTunes store with 10.4.11 (took all day for the downloads)
1. download & install iTunes 9.2.1 (101 MB)
2. download & install Quicktime 7.5.5 (61 MB)
3. message 'need to install Safari 4.0.3 or later' (and I never use Safari)
4. download Safari (26 MB)
5. Safari won't install without 'latest security update'
6. download latest security update 2009-005 (Intel) v. 1.0 (172 MB)
7. take a long walk
8. install security update and restart
9. install Safari and restart
And yes, now I can download music again from the iTunes store. I would have given up and gone with Amazon.com but mp3 downloads are only available to folk in USA, and I'm in Australia.

Suddenly I can no longer do the New York Times Acrostic. It says I need a plug-in, but when I try, it says there are no plug-ins available.

I used to be able to do this. Why did Firefox suddenly stop working for doing the NYT Acrostic?

HT3843 I install the Genius for Apps and I can no longer access the Apps Store on my I phone

I installed the Genius for Apps on my new IPhone 5 and I can no longer access the App Store and when I tap App Store I just get a white screen with the heading Genius for Apps with a white screen and no active keys.

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

I am trying to purchase os x lion from app store. Getting a response saying I need 2GB memory available but I have at least 40GB free space??

I am trying to purchase os x lion from app store. Getting a response saying I need 2GB memory available but I have at least 40GB free space??

Memory = Ram, the 40G free space you are referring to is hard drive storage space available, 2 very different things.
In order to run Lion you MUST have at least a Core 2 Duo processor and 2G of Ram, to find out whether you qualify (and it seems as though you don't) go to
Apple>About this Mac: you will be able to see the processor type and Ram installed thus
If you have less than 2G of Ram you can install more, if however you have a Core Duo (instead of Core 2 Duo) you can not run Lion.

I have just updated my iphone 4s with ios7. Since then i cannot play movies from my netflix app using my av cable to tv. which i baught from an apple store. i get a message saying turn off mirroring on airplay. i dont have airplay or an apple TV. what can i do?
Thanks jonmac22

Hi Everyone,
hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
Here's how to do it:
1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
Enjoy!

When openning itunes, I get a message saying I need to reinstall itunes if I want to burn cds. I already tried removing and installing lates itunes version but does not help. Does anybody know anything about fixing this issue?

I cannot burn cds from itunes. Every time I open itunes i get a message indicating i need to reinstall itunes. I have already done so but it's not working. I still cant burn cds. Does anybody know how i can fix this? My windows media player burns cds just fine.

I am having this same issue with Windows XP. The exact message that I get everytime that I open iTunes is :
The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers forimporting and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes. I have deleted and reinstalled iTunes three times. I also have a problem with iTunes randomly opening itself.

I'm having the same problem. Please help. Keeps saying internet connections timed out. Internet connection is fine. Can someone suggest an idea. Earlier today it let me start downloading songs now I can't get in

After I open itune i then try to access either the itune store or the app store i get a message saying "ITunes has stopped working"

After I open ITunes if I try to connect to the ITunes store or the App Store i get an error message.
It reads
"ITunes Has Stopped Working"
"A problem caused the priogram to stop workin correctly. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available"
I have rebooted, made sure I am up to date with itunes version and windows but it still wont work. My internet connection is fine
How do I reestablish contact with the ITunes store?

Hello. Have you tried using Safe Mode yet? For PC hold F8 on startup and select Safe Mode from Advanced Boot options screen. Also try reinstalling iTunes. Also open up the error console (wherever that might be; I'm a Mac person) and post the error that is causing it to quit. Hope it works!

I'm trying to download Bioshock Infinite from the app store and get a message saying there isn't enough disc space; but the Bioshock support page says I only need 30G and I have 60 free on my hard drive

Whoops, I think I should have posted my message here...Anyway, I'm trying to download Bioshock Infinite from the app store but get a message saying I don't have enough disc space. The game requires 30 G and when I look at my internal hard drive it shows 60 G free.
What gives?

It means you do not have enough Space on your Device and need to create More Space on Your Device by Deleting some items off your device.

My Quicktime will not open, and therefore when I try to play a video I get a message saying I need to download Quicktime, but I cannot do that as when I try, I get a message saying I already have it. How do I un-install Quicktime so I can re-install it?

I am having issues with Quicktime. It would not open, so I tried to "delete" it and re-intall. When I did that, it would not let me install it and I got a message saying it could not install because I already had it.
So, I guess what I need to know is how do I un-install Quicktime (even though the icon is gone) and then re-install it.
Thanks!

Yes I had that problem this week. Did search in finder and dragged all files to trash,including any attempted down loads of updated quicktime, emptied, restarted and then down loaded latest version and all ok.

I am trying to open an interactive chart but I am getting a message saying i need flash and it is not compatible with the iPad, is this correct or is there some way around it. Thank you.

Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and they have recently announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.

Problem after updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista.. I can no longer access the iTunes store..

Hi
After updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista I have found that I can no longer access the iTunes store... I am left with a blank iTunes screen with the loading bar stuck at halfway..
All other features seem to work... only opening the iTunes store is failing..
I have ran the diagnostics feature and this says everything is ok, so I'm a bit stuck
Please help

Purple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!" You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3). I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store. My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5. Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs. I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store.
Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix.

Can no longer access the iTunes store.

As of a few days ago I can no longer access the iTunes Store. Keep getting the page that urges me to upgrade.
I cannot not upgrade to the current version on my G5 Power PC. Cannot access by using Search either. I am running
iTunes 7.5 because all newer versions required an upgrade of Quicktime which screwed up the performance of Final Cut Studio,
which I can also not upgrade because I don't own an Intel Mac. I am so tired of Apple not supporting their loyal customers
who own older Macs, especially in these hard economic times. Was considering the purchase of an iPhone, but not anymore.
If anyone knows of a work around to the iTunes problem I would appreciate an answer. It not, then Goodbye Apple it was nice
knowing you.

This is what I had to do to access iTunes store with 10.4.11 (took all day for the downloads)
1. download & install iTunes 9.2.1 (101 MB)
2. download & install Quicktime 7.5.5 (61 MB)
3. message 'need to install Safari 4.0.3 or later' (and I never use Safari)
4. download Safari (26 MB)
5. Safari won't install without 'latest security update'
6. download latest security update 2009-005 (Intel) v. 1.0 (172 MB)
7. take a long walk
8. install security update and restart
