ITunes 10.5 beta 3 doesn't work in OS X Lion?

After upgrading to OS X Lion yesterday, I tried to open iTunes 10.5 beta 3. A window popped up saying something about it being incompatible and needing an update. So I "updated" (it actually downgraded to 10.4).
Is there any workaround to get 10.5 beta working on Lion? I can't sync my iPhone (running iOS 5 beta 3) with an older version of iTunes.
I'm actually pretty peeved at Apple for releasing a new OS without checking the compatibility of native apps, beta or no beta.
Any help would be appreciated.

Solved (apparently): After reinstalling, iTunes 10.5 beta 3 appears to work.

    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.

  • After upgrading from ITunes6 on ITunes 7 my videos doesn´t work

    after upgrading from ITunes6 on ITunes 7 my videos doesn´t work. there are no error messages, popups or ballons. songs are no problem, only the videos?!
    Can somebody help me?
    Thanks
    Cross

    hmmmm. let's try checking to see if they will still play in your current version of QuickTime.
    in itunes, right-click on one of the videos that is causing the grief, and select "Show in Windows Explorer".
    right click the icon of the file in the Explorer window that comes up and select "Open With ...", and try to open it with your QuickTime player. does it play there or do you get funny business with that too?

  • ITunes 10.4.1 DOESN'T WORK!!

    I had problems with 10.4.0.80 and had to revert back to 10.3.1 but I tried 10.4.1 anyway like an idiot.  Same problems as before - backup doesn't work, iTunes wouldn't recognize phone, blah blah blah.  Two more hours (so far) wasted on bad software. 
    I hope Tim Cook is watching!!  iPhone/iPad + bad iTunes = bad iPhone/iPad
    In case anyone knows the voodoo needed to make this work, I'm running Vista 32 with iPhone 4 and iPad 2.

    Maybe this discussion will help until Mr. Cook's team fixes ITunes 10.4.1

  • Can't access iTunes Store: New Safari doesn't work on my version of Mac!

    Hey guys.
    I'm a new owner of an iPhone, and i was just planning to purchase an app. I opened the itunes store tab on my iTunes... i have to download the newest version of Safari.
    Okay. So i went and did that on the Mac Download site. I selected the Leopard option. Open up...
    Halfway through the installation process, it tells me that my Version is doesn't work. It only works on Mac OS X 10. 5.8 ?!
    What i am doing wrong?

    Update your OSX to 10.5.8. It is free to update. It is suggested that you d/l the 'combo' update. This will make sure all required files are installed with the update.
    Once that is done you should be able to install the version of Safari that you have d/l.

  • Installed iTunes 7.3.2 - doesn't work

    I recently installed the latest iTunes and whenever I open it, it immediately freezes and goes to "not responding" status and I have to ctrlaltdel it closed. I'm not running any fancy software, just doesn't work. Should I uninstall and redownload it, will I lose all my info if I do that?
    Thanks for any help...

    Okay. Sometimes if iTunes is trying to download a (slightly dodgy) podcast file while it is doing the library update, it will hang on "updating library".
    Usually when that's afoot the hang seems to happen right at the very beginning of the "updating library" process.
    If that's what's happening, this might be of some help. Disconnect from the internet (or your network) and try launching iTunes again. Does the library update go through properly then? if so, try quitting itunes, reconnecting to the internet/network and launching iTunes again. Does it still launch properly?

  • 15gb ipod + iTunes 6.02+ Updater = doesn't work

    I have tried all 5 suggestions from apple for my ipod and it just doesn't work. I connected my ipod with the firewire like always it turns on, but doesn't show up on my itunes nor does it connect to the updater. I'm at my wits end. I still have room for approximately 1500 songs so I don't want to go get a new one, but, i'm reading abot so many problems with the new version of itunes ans the updater that i'm beginning to wonder. I just want to be able to listen to the albumd I downloaded this weekend whilst at work. Can someone help me before I pull my hair out? And yes, I work just 4 1/2 blocks from the apple store.

    Hi
    Try to format your iPod, then reconnect it with your computer, hope your iTunes 7 recognizes it.
    Go to folder “My Computer”
    Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
    Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
    Now select “Format”
    Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
    In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.

  • Itunes on new computer doesn't work

    Just setb up a new Imac and Itunes doesn't work.  Says it is because it was copied from a previous Itunes.  If want to download just do so, but I don't get an option at all.

    Hello Myrita
    Check to make sure that iTunes is up to date. Alternatively, you could create a new iTunes library and then import the media that is already on the iMac. The articles below will assist you further.

  • Firefox from version 3.6 to 11 beta doesn't work properly with gmail

    Gmail doesn't work properly with any version of firefox from 3.6 to 11. I have tried several newer versions of firefox and they ALL DO NOT WORK PROPERLY with GMAIL!!!!!! THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING & ANNOYING!! I can't click on any links or it just keeps saying LOADING when I try to delete a message or even go into the gmail settings.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • ITunes 7.3.2 doesn't work - just 'spins'

    Two days ago, I opened my previous iTunes version (all previous versions have worked flawlessly for me) and was about to watch BSG. The auto update indicated there was a security update and the new and improved iTunes 7.3.2. I mistakenly started the download/install, and still have iTunes open. Of course it told me to close out iTunes before proceeding any further (didn't notice a cancel install option), so had to do a force quit (which states changes won't be saved...). The install went forward, and had to do a restart because of the security update. I then tried to open iTunes, it opens, I can see my data, it checks the store for any updates, but then the little spinning wheel comes on when you try to do anything, and it just freezes up and you have to force quit to stop it. Have tried waiting, reinstalling it (2x), restarting, lots of little things, but cannot get it to work.
    Somebody help the ignorant out please!!!

    OK, got it figured out (I think and so far).
    RECAP: Was downloading the new and improved iTunes 7.3.2 last week. STUPIDLY had iTunes open at the same time (that's when the software update came on, after opening iTunes). Had to "force quit" during the install. Downloaded a security patch at the same time. Was using the Internet during. After restarting (due to the security update), I tried to open iTunes, it would always open, load and then freeze up thus had to always "force quit".
    Tried everything I could think of and stuff found under Support and Apple Discussions.
    No Shapeshifter.
    Removed iTunes, and reloaded it (in various ways). Older versions as well.
    Quicktime too.
    Repaired Disk Permissions via Disk Utility
    Deleted iTunesX in Library/Receipts
    Reloaded bundled software apps
    Nothing really worked.
    Then just "moved" the iTunes Library file, and iTunes created another one and it worked! So I guess I gotta rebuild my iTunes set-up, but so far, so good. One other Message (iTunes LIbrary damaged...) on this site cited the same problem and said his/her file said "corrupted" and it kept corrupting the new ones, mine never indicated that it was bad, it just hung everything up. I will keep testing it, but have watched a bit of BSG and so far, so good. So happy again.

  • Network printing with time capsule doesn't work with OS X Lion

    I have a canon printer which will print when it is set up and connected to my imac.  However when it is set up and connected to time capsule it will not print.  It thinks it has completed the job but it hasn't.
    I think that this may have something to do with OS X Lion.
    The printer is just new, I bought it as the old one was playing up - I had been unable to get the old one which was connected via the time capsule to print since installing OS X Lion but never put two and two together - I just assumed the the printer had eventually died!  So I bought a new one!  It seems to set up OK as it is recognised as being attached to the timecapsule but there is no out put.
    Does anyone have any ideas as how to sort this out?
