I screwed up and updated i tunes

I have an avid editing system that will only run on osx 10.4.2 and I screwed up and updated to iTunes 7. iTunes 7 doesn't work with 10.4.2 I found out. My computer won't install iTunes from my original iPod nano disk. When I hit install it says there is nothing to install. I want iTunes how do I get it on my computer. I tried downloading iTunes 6 and it does the same thing. help.

Putting aside whether iit should or shouldn't work,
if you want to "downgrade" you need to delete the iTunnes program you have in
there now.
You might want to use spotlight or sherlock to see wherre all the iTunes files are.
Then delete the program from your applications folder.
Delete the preferences from the User/ library/preferences folder.
and maybe the receipt from the Macintosh/Library/receipts folder.
Then you should be able to replace it with whatever version and subsequent updates are appropriate for you.
Then maybe it will rebuild the iTunes library or you can import it or last resort re-import all your music files. ( But it should just do it).
Good luck

    If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that.  If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar.  Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it.  If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
    If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • I updated my 4 I-Phone and the I-tunes icon disappeared. How do I get it back?

    I updated my I-Phone 4 to the 6 and the I-Tune icon on the phone disappeared.  How do I get it back?

    The button is still there with 5.0.2. (At least, still supposed to be there.)
    Are your video drivers or display adaptor drivers up to date? (Plausibly, the higher version of Safari may have outstripped the capabilities of your existing drivers. If so, an update of the drivers may be of some assistance.)

  • I have an IPhone 4 with software version 4.3.5 (8L1) installed on it. On my windows XP computer I updated I Tunes to 10.4.0.80 and since then my I Tunes quits while synchronizing with my IPhone. before i updated I Tunes everythings was running well.

    I have an IPhone 4 with software version 4.3.5 (8L1) installed on it. On my windows XP computer I updated I Tunes to 10.4.0.80 and since then my I Tunes quits while synchronizing with my IPhone. before i updated I Tunes everythings was running well. Can someone help me?

    When you watch the progress bar trying to sync, can you see at what step the sync is stopped?
    If it does not get beyond step one (backup) delete the latest backup in the list in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices and try again after that. To be on the safe side, copy the backup folder to a safe place before you start. It is located here:
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • TS3744 I updated I Tunes today and now I cannot open my I-Pod I Touch. The screen only shows the I tunes icon with the USB cable and an arrow pointint to the icon and I can't get it off of my screen or access my home screen   Help!

    I updated I tunes today , now I am unable to open my I Pod I Touch, the screen shows the I Tunes logo with a USB cord and arrow pointing back up to the icon, can't access my Home page

    The screen indicates that your device is in recovery mode.  It has to be restored by connecting it to a computer with itunes.  Restore to factory settings.
    This happens sometimes.  Hopefully you have a backup.

    RealPlayer can cause conflicts with Flash Player because it tries to assign EVERY TYPE of video or audio file to itself by default. I haven't used RealPlayer in years for that reason. It's an unnecessary program anymore. There are apps loike VLC media player that cna do EVERYTHING it does without conflicting with other apps like Flash Player.
    With WIndows 8, Microsoft began embedding FlashPlayer themselves into Internet Explorer. Because of that, you cannot download and install it from here. You cannot uninstall it from Internet Explorer without removing a specific Windows Update first. And you cannot update it via this website. ONLY through Windows Update can Flash Player for Internet Explorer be updated.
    That said, you probably DON'T have a virus that's causing the problems with Flash Player and Internet Explorer. Many, many websites are not "recognizing" the browser.
    This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released IE11 The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player.
    So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

    Hi Demo, thank you for your suggestions.
    I've tried updating in the following conditions:
    1. "Over The Air" at one location;
    2. On a Windows computer running the latest version of iTunes at the same location;
    3. On Mavericks (10.9.4) running the latest version of iTunes (11.4 (18)) at another location;
    4. On Mavericks, latest iTunes over a VPN with a server location in US;
    5. On Mavericks, using a 3G connection shared from an iPhone;
    6. On Yosemite developer preview with a previous version of iTunes at the same location.
    I got the same results in most cases except for an occasional error with code 9; I'll try again in other conditions.
    Interestingly enough, I've successfully updated my devices to iOS 7.1.2 and to iOS8 GM without any issues at the same location but, of course, no two conditions are exactly the same

    Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
    The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
    Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
    Good Luck
