  • Updated Firefox is not compatible with my low vision software - Zoomtext. How can I get Firefox to stop asking me to upgrade!!

    Currently using version 3.6.27 as the updated versions are not compatible with my low vision software called Zoomtext. I constantly get Firefox asking me to upgrade. How can I get it to stop asking me to upgrade. (I have tried each upgrade and they are all incompatible with Zoomtext.

    Go to '''Options''' window > '''Advanced''' panel > '''Update''' tab > '''Firefox updates '''> click '''Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)''', click '''OK''' to save it, exit firefox and restart it.

  • How can I download itunes 10.6.3, as itunes 10.7 is not compatible with my macbook?

    I upgraded my iphone 4s to iOS X 6. It will not connect to my itunes now because it requires itunes 10.6.3. The latest version of itunes is 10.7 but this is not compatible with my macbook, when I download 10.7 it says that i need to have Mac OS X 10.6.8 or better, which i don't and I think i have to pay to upgrade. Is there still a way that i can download the earlier version of itunes which is 10.6.3?

  • ITunes 7 shared music not compatible with previous versions

    I installed iTunes 7 on my PC and have iTunes 6.0.5 on my Mac. From my Mac, my iTunes shared library on the PC is greyed out. When I select the shared library, I receive the following message:
    "The shared music library ... is not compatible with this version of iTunes."
    However, iTunes 7 on my PC can see and play sounds from the shared iTunes 6.0.5 library.
    1.42GHZ Mac mini, Sony RX-500E, 2Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I find this same situation and it would be nice if the two were compatible. I don't want to buy another computer just to play music from a shared library but I like the new iTunes for other reasons. I bet that's what Apple wants me to do though.
    I am unsure why the two are not compatible because .mp3 and .aac files can be played in both versions and the files are unchanged. It would be nice if they would give an option for backwards compatibility but why would they spend the money to keep customers happy?
    Sorry for the cynicism.

  • Can't open Itunes. Update states system not compatible with leopard 10.5.8

    I was trying to sync music to my Iphone through my Computer, Mac 0S X Leopard version 10.5.8.  Couldn't open iTunes.  There was a update for iTunes and I downloaded it but before it could be loaded to my computer, it said my operating system needed to be 10.6.8.   Where and what should I be looking for to update iTunes on my computer?

    Greg,
    If you can update your computer to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 that would be the smartest thing to do. Otherwise you can restore an earlier version of iTunes from your Time Machine backup. You can purchase Snow Leopard from Apple's online store for $20 and then use the 10.6.8 Combo Update to get the most up-to-date version of SL. You can find that download at:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Before doing ANY update make sure you have have backed up your system using Time Machine or create a bootable clone onto an external HD using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • ITunes 9.2.1 not compatible with 10.6.4?

    I always, faithfully, respond to Software Update, and today I updated to iTunes 9.2.1, and sorely regret doing so. The app opens but hangs (and must be forced to quit) if I actually try to use iTunes... it hangs if I try to play a song, or click on a playlist in the sidebar, or try to use the menu bar (File, Edit, View, etc.). This software simply does not function. AT ALL. What's happening to Mac? Safari is nearly as slow as FireFox, and often will not open (especially) Google search pages. Now, they put out a failed version of iTunes... any solutions other than reinstall an older version?

    I may be having the same trouble on my mid2010 Mac Mini with 4 gigs of Ram.
    Checked Activity Monitor - System Memory, iTunes gobbles up memory from launch until there's nothing left, system drags down to a crawl.
    If I start a song playing, this stops and iTunes hogs on to whatever memory it consumed to the point the song started playing, 430mbs as I type this.
    Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, can't find the com.apple.itunes.plist file to thrash.
    Same OSX and iTunes versions on my MBP does not display this problem.

  • ITunes 6.0.5 Not compatible with 64 Bit Windows/AMD

    I currently have 6.0.4.2, while upgrading to 6.0.5 and error window pops up to say that iTunes 6.0.5 does not support 64Bit. Is there a way I can get to the older 6.0.4.2 download, as I need a new install. My burner software erased over the itunes drive support and now I cannot burn CD's from iTunes.

    I have quite a similar problem, I reinstalled Win XP x64 and wanted to install the latest version of iTunes as well. I hoped that this version might fix some problems I had before with QuickTime (it seems there is an incompatibility between QuickTime and a Security Update for Win x64). But instead, it refused to install.
    This is really annoying, I bought several songs at the iTunes Music Store in the past and now I can only listen to them on my iBook. That's better than nothing, but I would like to have my music on the PC as well.
    I don't want to install an older version of iTunes because there where some security issues in the past.
    In another thread, someone mentioned that there will be a 64-bit version of iTunes/Quicktime somewhere in the future, but there's no release-date for it.
    Is there a way to give feedback to Apple?

  • How do I report a bug: HP Printer Software Update 2.7 not compatible with HP C5200 series (C5280)

    Hi
    I've recently updated my 2011 vintage 22" 3GHz iMac recently bought from Apple themselves to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and my HP printer/scanner (C5280) has just stopped working - printing half a page and then complaining:
    "Communication Error: Unable to send print data ..." blah blah.
    It was working fine under 10.6.7 ...
    What seems like several months later, I have
    1) checked the cable
    2) checked  the printer (it works on a Windows machine)
    3) Downloaded the "latest" drivers from the HP website (dated 2009)
    4) Scrubbed the HP software (using HP uninstaller option with Cmd-Cntrl-Opt pressed)
    5) Downloaded the "Software Update" version of HP Printer software update 2.7 .....
    6) Installed the HP software again (just in case it needed to be in that order)
    7) Scrubbed it again
    8) RE-downloaded HP Printer Software Update 2.7 via Software Update
    and tried printing again ..... still no joy.
    My view is that this is a bug.
    Is it possible to report such a phenomenon to anyone in Apple / HP who would actually take notice (or, whisper it) care?
    Any further suggestions - or perhaps ideas for places to take a restful vacation - gratefully received.
    Thanks
    DJB

    Is your wretched printer the same model? How about the Mac - and your OS.
    I have tried to persuade HP that this should be investigated here:

    Please do contribute to that discussion too, since I assume that HP will be the organisation to investigate/correct any driver problems.

    I have an iPhone with iOS 7.1.1 and am trying to update to 7.1.2, but get an error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone"

    Assuming you are using the current version of iTunes (11,2,2), open iTunes, click "Preferences" under the leftmost entry on iTunes' menu, then choose "Devices".
    Find the iPhone's backup there, highlight it, and choose "Delete Backup".

  • Unable to sync or backup my iPad2 with the new iTunes. I keep getting the error ""iTunes could not back up the iPad because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad.". I've deleted all the old backups but still get this.

    I'm totally frustrated by iTunes and don't know how to solve my problem. Like a lot of people on here I'm not able to sync or back up my iPad2 with my iTunes (version 10.4.1.10). I'm running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. My iTunes worked just fine until the 10.4.xx updates came out and since June I've not been able to back up or sync the iPad2.
    When I connect and try to sync I get the error message, “iTunes could not back up the iPad because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad.”
    I've deleted all the old backups so there are none on my system. I've deleted iTunes and re-installed the 64bit version several times but it has not made any difference. I've read and followed several suggestions on these boards about how to remove and reinstall everything but none have worked yet. I'm stumped here.

    I had the exact same thing with my shuffle - same error message saying that it was corrupt so I restored it (wiping everything in the process) and the same message came up as soon as it reloaded. Thank god I didn't try it with my iPod or iPhone first. So many issues with this new version of iTunes!!!!!!!!
