Itunes won't start it says I need 10.4.7....??

So I just recently updated from 10.3.9 to 10.4 and after the switch when I try to open Itunes it says that I need 10.4.7 and I cannot figure out why..? Does anyone have any answers??

Update your OXS 10.4 to at least 10.4.7 using the Combo updater.
iTunes requires:
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later or Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later required for iTunes
Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later required for iPhone
500MHz G3 processor or better
QuickTime 6.5.2 or later
256MB RAM
Combo/SuperDrive to burn CDs
Broadband Internet connection (DSL/Cable/LAN) for buying and streaming music
Additional Video Requirements
1GHz G4 processor or better
QuickTime 7.1.6 or later
16MB video RAM

  • Final Cut won't start sometimes, says I need a quartz extreme video card

    Even though I have a quartz extreme capable video card and use Final Cut studio all the time, sometimes an error message will pop up and won't let me load any final cut application. The message is "Final cut pro recommends that your system have a Quartz Extreme capable video card."
    I've tried deleting the preferences, and then running applejack. Sometimes it works, but right now I can't get it to load. I'm not even sure where to start troubleshooting this. Any advice would be much appreciated.
    My software is all up to date.

    No, I have FCE 4 - should have said that - and it worked on my older Intel based MacBook Pro.
    As it turns out, though, I think I've solved the problem, adapting a solution to a related problem I found on MacRumors.com. Don't know why this is necessary, but here's the solution I tried:
    1. right click on the FCE application icon and select "Show Package Contents"
    2. open the "Contents" folder and then open the "info.plist" folder in Text Edit
    3. find the line that says: "<key>AELMinimumQuartzExtremeCapable</key>," and replace it with "<key>AELMinimumGeForceCapable</key>", and then make sure that the next line says "<string></string>" without any number specified. Or, if you have some other kind of graphics card that you know is compatible, you could say what that is instead of GeForce. I found it doesn't work just to delete this line completely.
    Again, I don't know why Apple didn't build in this flexibility when they updated their standard Graphics cards, but in any case this solution seems to work.

  • TS1717 Running Vista on old HP computer.  New version of iTunes was available to download so I did.  Now iTunes won't start and says it is missing MSVCR80.dll file.  Any helpful information on how to fix this will be appreciated.  Have uninstalled and ins

    Got advised that a new version of iTunes was available for my HP PC running Vista.  Upon downloading, wouldn't launch.  Uninstalled and reinstalled.  Wouldn't launch.  Both error messages said that a file named MSVCR80.dll was missing.  Any help in correcting this problem would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    I also posted this question and then Googled it.  The instruction was to delete, in order iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, Apple Application Support and iCloud.   Uninstall worked for all but apple Mobile Dvice Support and i Cloud.  However, when I reloaded iTunes, it worked fine.  I hope this is helpful.

  • Itunes won't start - MS says problem is Quicktime

    well ... I see so many others have had this problem ... best solution mentioned that I've seen that works, is ... everytime I want to use Itunes, I uninstall Quicktime, reboot, and then reinstall Quicktime standalone. Then it works untill I have to close it.
    This stinks ... why doesn't Apple post an effective solution to this apparently common bug ?
    I have downloaded all the latest ... still no good. I am disappointed with Apple and wish I hadn't gotten the IPOD.

    eh, having to keep installing it sounds like malware, then, if Norton isn't blocking it.
    Try this MSCONFIG thing, post back if anything funny shows up on the startup tab

  • TS1717 itunes won't start because it says the folder was made in newer version, what should be done?

    itunes won't start because it says the folder was made in newer version, what should be done?

    If you haven't deliberately tried to downgrade iTunes then it is possible the library is corrupt. This approach should work.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Ok so I updated to iOS 7 on my iPod (5th) it let me update my apps but I cannot download new apps thanks to the terms and conditions. Also my iTunes won't start it just blank, I tried everything I need help

    Ok so I updated to iOS 7 on my iPod (5th) it let me update my apps but I cannot download new apps thanks to the terms and conditions. Also my iTunes won't start it just blank, I tried everything I need help

       Did you download the new iTunes update that was also released this afternoon? That might be the problem. The new iTunes update came out today as well as the new iOS 7 update and if you haven't downloaded the new iTunes update it may be a compatibility problem so if you didn't, first update to the new iTunes and try again.

    Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?

    Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

    I have the exact same problem.
    I have uninstalled the program, rebooted and downloaded the update again. Same problem, same message.
    Please, where is that missing MSVCR80.dll? I don't remember misplacing it.

  • Itunes won't start-says it has to shut down

    i started having problems with itunes and downlaoded the new itunes. won't start. in the error report it sayd its a compatability issue. when i send the report to ms though, they claim it to be an itunes problem. i could use a lot of help.

    +when i tried to start quicktime it produced the same message as itunes with a little change to it. in the last part of the code it was 1482appcomp.txt.+
    That problem will be causing the iTunes problem.
    So let's try swapping out your existing QuickTime for a fresh copy.
    Head into your Add/Remove programs. Uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
    7. Restart your computer.
    Next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
    Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
    Go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. Does it launch properly now?
    (If, however, you get an error message on any of the install or uninstalls, let us know what that message says. Precise text, please. Include any error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • Update 7.43 to 7.6 - iTunes won't start  but have iTunes.exe Task

    Hi There!
    I updated my Company-Computer from iTunes 7.4.3 to 7.6 and now iTunes won't start.
    All it does is: It shows the waitcursor for a few seconds and I get a Task in the Taskmanager that says iTunes.exe
    But it won't show the EULA where I am asked to accept Apples Terms.
    I updated my Laptop too and that works fine.
    I checked all the Services that where running (on both systems) and they where identical.
    What else could prevent the EULA window from appering? And if I acceped the EULA would iTunes start ok?
    Has anyone had the same problem and what could I do?
    So far I deinstalled iTunes and everything else (AppleLike) and cleaned the registry of all iTunes and Quicktime branches. After a reboot I installed it again - so far it didn't help.
    Has anyone an idea what I could try else (reinstalling windows ist out of the question since it is may workplace PC; everything else works fine.
    Thanks in advance

    Hey Everyone,
    I am going to add to the long list of outrage. I JUST purchased (like literally...9 hours ago...) an 8GB iPod Touch and after installation I ran into the EXACT same problem. Since I am a new owner this is the first time I have iTunes installed on my computer. So of course I downloaded the most recent version (as instructed). Like everyone else in this thread is saying, you try to open up the iTunes application but the GUI doesn't appear at all. Apparently "something" is running because its process is active in the Task manager but there is nothing on my screen! What's the problem here??? I've done everything short of reinstalling XP (thats actually kind of unnecessary as you shouldn't have to uninstall an entire OS just to get an application to work...update files or clean the registry--sure...uninstall then reinstall--no..). Yes, obviously this is an Apple product so there won't be many (if any) conflicts when connecting to an Apple device (like a Macbook). But seriously guys....seriously???
    What is more outrageous to me, besides the fact that this is a widespread problem...is the fact that this is a CURRENT problem that has YET to be even identified or rectified by anyone from Apple. I went on this forum, thinking that this was some known occurrence that happened maybe months ago and could be fixed immediately--but I am viewing messages from this week and even TODAY!
    This is absolutely unacceptable. Who needs to be contacted concerning conflict resolution with Apple hardware? Or does Apple wish to have another iPhone-esque debacle like a few months ago?
    Not to be rude, but I am not the average user that knows nothing about software and/or hardware (as I'm sure alot of others are knowledgeable). I am not "that person" that doesn't plug in the computer into the outlet then wonders why its not working. I don't mean to come here with an air of anger but this is truly ridiculous...lets get the ball rolling on a fix or start drafting up those $299.99 refunds...

  • Itunes won't start up - can't find usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib

    Hi,
    I had to reinstall the OS 10.3.9 on my ti-book. I did an archive and install, but now iTunes won't start up. Console says it can't find this dynamic library:
    usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib
    Since I have a lot of my songs in my personal lib on this machine, and podcast susbscriptions, etc - I don't want to lose them if possible.
    Is there a way to just install this lib, or will I have to reinstall iTunes altogheter?
    I searched for the above file, but can't find it on the disk.
    thx.

    Do you have any iTunes plugins? You may want to get rid of them and try again.
    Also, have you tried removing the corresponding com.apple.itunes.plist files from <youraccount>/Library/Preferences, logging out, logging back in again (or rebooting) and then relaunching iTunes? I don't think an archive and install will refresh this file for you. Nor will reinstalling iTunes.

  • ITunes won't install. Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft

    iTunes won't install. 
    Says error writing to file C:\Program Files\itunes\itunes.resources\da.lproj\AboutBox.rft
    Does anybody know what I need to do to fix this?

    I am the administrator, so this can't be a rights problem. The error message says "error writing to file c:\program files\apple software update\softwareupdate.exe. Verify that you have access to that directory".
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive, as per the following document:
    How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
