"new" iTunes 10 Library won't work with Tiger

I have my music on an external hard drive. I can move it between my "office" digital audio G-4 tower (running Tiger 10.4.11) which has beautiful sounding Harmon Kardan external speakers, and my newer 2009 iMac "work" computer, running Leopard. All was fine until I upgraded the iMac's iTunes to 10.1. Now my library won't work on the Tiger "office" machine because it was "created" with a newer iTunes. I can't load iTunes 10 onto the G-4 because of 10.1's system requirements. Any way I can get my music playing again on both machines? Thank you. Joe

You are a genius, Limnos; should be at the genius bar. Shame on Apple for NOT warning us that an upgrade to iTunes 10.x will kill compatibility with previous versions. I followed your directions, discarded v10, replaced the iTunes Library with the last one in the Previous folder, downloaded v9.2.1 and I was in business on both machines! I'm listening to old Mayall & Clapton right now on the better speakers, but older machine. Thanks again! Joe

  • Syncing iPad to iTunes music library won't work

    Hi there.  I am trying to sync one of our two iPads to iTunes - it works fine for photos but, when trying to sync the music library, although the blue audio bar shows that the songs are on the iPad, they don't appear in the Music app on the iPad - any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • My Mbox2 won't work with tiger 10.4

    I am quite new to computor recording and bought an Mbox2 to record live guitar and vocals. My last recording system was the original Teac Portastudio. ($2000.00 in 1983) I love Garage Band for being so user friendly, but was concered that I would not be able to achieve a professional enough sounding final product. As the Mbox2 comes with Pro Tools, I thought I would give it try and take the plunge into learning Pro Tools. I guess I got in way over my head because I could not get the Mbox working. I originaly had purchased the Presonus Firebox, but the mixer would not work and the control panel would not open. I was able to use the Firebox for my guitar and my vocal mic and actually had a great time laying down a few live tracks then adding some midi tracks with Garage Band.I could not get into the cubase program that came with the Firebox and when I called thier tech support was told the mixer and control panel would not work with tiger 10.4. That was when I decided to try the Mbox. However,after my frustrating experience with the Mbox2, I am thinking of returning to the Firebox just so I can plug in my guitar and mic again. Is there another DAW out there that is compatible with my intel iMac tiger OS X 10.4, or would it be simpler for me to buy a pre amp/mixer and use the audio in on my mac? I would appreciate some help with this. Thanks.

    "Could you recommend a pre amp mixer combination?
    Would a Radio Shack quality do? I am working towards
    producing a CD to sell from the stage at local gigs
    so I do want good sound."
    Hi Angelman. What is your budget for the mixer? What
    type of inputs will you need? I'd stay away from
    Radio Shack if you plan on producing/selling a CD.
    BTW- some people are having problems with the
    multimix (distorted outputs). If you're on a
    tight budget I'd hold off on them for the time being
    until they iron out what's wrong. Presonus Inspire is
    OK, as is Tascam and M-Audio. It all depends on your
    budget and what kind of inputs you'll need.
    I have Martin D28 with an active pick up that I run through an LR Baggs DI box xlr out. I want to run a line out and record the line output as track 1. Next I have good quality condenser mics and would like to use one or more to record the guitar as track 2 and 3. I also want to record a dummy, or keeper vocal track while laying down the guitar tracks. I would be hapopy with 1 line out guitar, 1 condenser guitar mic and 1 vocal mic.( 3 tracks 2 guitar 1 vocal) As for my budget, I have been saving up for a long time and am returning my newly purchased Mbox2 $550.00 and thinking now of returning to the Presonus Firebox. I was wondering since I am not interested in the Qbase software that comes with the firebox, and since I can plug my M Audio controller keyboard directly into the Imac, I really don't require the midi capabilities of the Firebox and was looking into the less expensive Inspire. I am already into the cost of the Firebox, and it did work well for me, but I didn't hang on to it long enough to fully explore its capabilites. I would be happy to give the Firebox another try. If I did, would I need to install the Qbase software or could I just plug in the firebox and start recording? Thanks for your input. Much appreciated.

  • (PC) iTunes Music Library won't sync with my iPhone 4, not enough space?

    I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right "Community area"?? If I'm in the wrong area, please point me in the right direction.
    I am getting this Error Message coming up on PC:
    The iPhone "UserName's iPhone" cannot be synced because there
    is not enough free space to hold all the items in the iTunes library
    (additional 513.13 MB required).
    My phone is a 16G.
    I currently have 13.15GB of music on my physical iPhone.
    I have deleted all songs (except purchased ones) on my iTunes Library (on the PC), I now have it down to 107 songs.
    When I go to [Settings], [Music] and choose [Sync Music, Entire music library], it comes up with the error message above.
    How do I get rid of all songs on my iPhone except for my purchased ones so I can have room on my phone again?
    I tried to use a program called 'TouchCopy 12' a while ago but it has really confused me and I have doubled up on some songs?
    Help!
    Thanks in advance...

    It is possible that iTunes is slightly confused by what is and is not already on the device. In such cases it may think there isn't enough room when there should be. These steps will usually resolve such an issue:
    Backup device.
    Restore as a new device.
    Restore the backup made earlier.
    You should copy off the contents of the camera roll first unless you have Photo Stream set up and it reliably captures everything. It also assumes that all media content on the device is in your library. If that might not be the case see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • New JVC GY-HM100u won't work with Premiere Elements 4...?????Help

    Does anyone know if, and why Premeire Elements 4 w
    ill not work with JVC GY-HM100U camera?
    The video uploads into premeire 4, but I have no audio. Please help.
    Eric

    Eric
    You really need to define what you are recording with that JVC camcorder and trying to edit in Premiere Elements 4. Are you recording AVCHD (represented as MPEG4 AVC/H.264) and frame size 1920 x 1080 30 frames per second OR 1440 x 1080 30 frames per second OR what might be AVCHD Lite (MPEG4 AVC/H.264) but with the lesser resolution of 1280 x 720, 30 frames per second?
    AVCHD is not supported by Premiere Elements 4. AVCHD support for Premiere Elements exists for versions 7 and 8. There is a special case where, with certain Sony Vaio and Sony Add On, you end up with AVCHD support for your setup. As I recall, in the days of Premiere Elements 4 users who did not have this special Sony Vaio, they needed to convert the AVCHD to a non AVCHD format in order to work with it in Premiere Elements 4.0 (with 3rd party software).
    To avoid the speculation, best to download and install the first utility named gspot and give us a read out for Video Codec: Name: Status; Audio Codec: Name: Status; frame rate, frame size, etc. Be sure to indicate what the file extension is for these videos (.mov, .mp4, .m2t, .mts, .m2ts, or other.
    http://www.headbands.com/gspot/v26x/quick_start.html
    From what I have read this camcorder does not record SD, but is probably recording AVCHD and HDV. If I am on the right track with this one, have you taken time to look at Premiere Elements 4 with other JVC formats, like HDV, besides whatever you are using now?

  • ITunes version DLed won't work with my mac version

    I had to go to the Apple store yesterday b/c somehow I lost iChat. So, they had to install everything all over agin, including iTunes. But, the iTunes they installed is the new 8.1 version and now I can't use it because it is telling me:
    You cannot use the application 'iTunes' with this version of Mac OS X.
    Is there anyway to get an old version of iTunes back!? I have a MacBook 10.4.8.
    Am I doing something wrong?

  • Shuffle won't work with tiger

    My 8 year old daughter saved up and bought an iPod shuffle so she could listen to her own music and story tapes in bed or wherever. To my shock we could not upload anything to it from our IMAC, not PC, IMAC! The problem is that our Aluminum Intel Imac is 4 years old and runs Tiger. You need iTunes 10 to upload to a shuffle and iTunes 10 is only available for Leopard. This is disgraceful and a complete contradiction to the whole marketing drive of Apple stating that Macs 'just work'. It seems I can get iTunes 10 on a 6 year old PC with XP but not on a perfectly fine, tiger iMac. I have rung Apple who told me I should have read the specs of the shuffle, there is no complaint phone number or email address, only a feedback email address that doesn't respond. What are we supposed to do, buy Snow Leopard at a further expense of over £100? Tiger has been working perfectly, my iMac is a brilliant piece of kit. Sadly I may be forced to replace it with a PC when I next choose to buy a computer. I love Apple products but this blantant marketing ploy to keep you upgrading will most likey cause them to lose a lifetime customer. Has anyone resolved this issue without having to make an otherwise pointless upgrade?

    Download the spotify desktop client for Tiger and it should work. You need to plug the ipod shuffle with itunes 10 first (i used my wife's macbook) and then just erased it and synced it with the spotify client.

  • New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

    New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

    No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
    A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
    You can get 10.6.8 here:

  • My new iPod won't work with iTunes 6 but...

    Is it safe to get iTunes 7 yet?
    Because I tried it before but it made the music dodgy.
    So I eventually got 6 back, but it won't work with my new iPod.
    Help?

    I also had problems with iTunes 7 when it first came out, but 7.0.2 is working for me and seems to have fixed a lot of the problems. It's worth a try if you need iTunes 7 for your new iPod.

  • Please help!  Ipod won't work with my itunes after plugged into MAC

    Hi, I am brand new to my ipod and i plugged it into my PC to get it started, then i plugged it into a friends mac to get his songs- now when i plug it back into my computer it says it is linked to another itunes library and asks if i want to link it back to this one and replace all of the music. I do not want to loose all of the music but want it reconnected to my itunes with the music on my computer and taking the music on the ipod (from my friends itunes) into my itunes. What do i do? I apologize if this is something posted before,i couldn't find an answer. Please help!! thanks

    That above article will not resolve the issue. It explaines it clearly in the article.
    "Using an iPod formatted for Macintosh on a Windows computer is not supported. Using an iPod formatted for Windows on a Macintosh computer is not supported."
    this means that it won't work with out a 3rd party tool. You HAVE to restore it if you take it between different OS. That document works only if your taking it between windows machines or all mac machines.

  • My new shuffle won't work with my operating system

    I was really pleased to be given a new shuffle for my birthday, but it won't work with my operating system. I feel disgusted and cheated; I have been using macs for years and don't see why I should have to buy a new one in order to use a piece of Apple technology. It's not good enough to say that the operating system requirements are clearly stated, as the person who bought me the shuffle didn't know that. I am so furious that I am thinking of going back to pcs next time I buy. Apple really should get their act together, because various forums I have consulted suggest that a lot of other people feel the same.

    Feel better now?
    We are all users here just like yourself so we cannot do anything for you besides making some logical suggestions to you. So if the person had bought you some 3rd party software that only worked with Leopard and/or Snow Leopard would by be just as furious? Just curious.
    You don't have to buy a "new one" to use your new Shuffle, just upgrade your OS. Are you using a PowerPC or Intel Mac Mini? If the latter just go buy a copy of Snow Leopard, install it on your computer and download the latest iTunes. Problem solved. If it is a PowerPC look around and find and install a copy of Leopard.

  • My ipods Library won't sync with the new Library

    Hi, I had do erase everything off my hard drive to fix a problem with my iphone today and when I went to restore itunes, my ipod won't sync with the library. I get the message that I would need to erase everything on my ipod because its sync with another library and sync with the new library which just has the things I brought in the itunes store. I have a lot more music that the music I got in itunes. So my question is how can I copy the flies (music/videos/movies) from my ipod to the new library? Please help me. Thank You.

    You erased your hard drive without making sure you had a current backup copy of your music?
    You can try a 3rd party program to get the music off ( this is not supported by Apple).
    You can also try a forum search ( right side of this page), as this is asked and answered very often.
    Zevoneer ( a fellow itunes user) does a great job explaining the options.
