Old Version Of Itunes fixed my problems

Just for those who want to give it a try. I had problems for the last week, unable to get Itunes to work, then Quicktime. I finally uninstalled both products and cleaned out all traces of both programs. The only thing I didn't do was mess with the registry. I then tried to install 7.01 again. I had the same problem, it kept saying "an older version of Quicktime could not be removed" and "Apple Software Updates can not be removed". After reading so many posts of others having similar problems, I did a search for older versions of ITunes. That did it and the problems are gone. For those who are as frustrated as I was, here's a link you might want to consider. All the older versions of Itunes (quicktime). Good luck.

  • Old version of itunes to help with burning issue.

    I first downloaded itunes about a year and a half ago(Feb of 2005). I cannot remember what version it was. Everything worked fine and burning music cds was a piece of cake. About 6 months later I downloaded a later version of itunes and my problem with being unable to burn cds began (error 2123). I have tried about everything I can think of to fix it. I have posted on this forum before. There have been some people on it that have tried to help but nothing seems to work. I've tried contacting Apple but that's been a deadend street(if anyone knows how to get a real person on the phone at Apple please let me know). I've contacted the drive's manufacturer and they have tried to be helpful but they, as I, believe it's an issue with the itunes software. I think the only way I'm going to get this problem fixed is one of three things. First, try to find a new drive that's compatable. Secondly, find a way to install an old version of itunes without losing everything on my machine and my ipod. Thirdly, stop using itunes altogether. Has anyone run into this problem and found a solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey, I had the exact same problem. Is your drive an AOpen drive? If so, I read somewhere that their site admits that two of their DVD Rewriter drives do not work with ITunes 6.
    You can install old ITunes versions at oldapps.com. However, I installed version 5 and it's now saying I need an upgraded version to play or burn these songs. Let me know if you figure anything out.

  • I am trying to update an old version of itunes, my computer says it took place, but when I hook up my daughters new ipod it says the new version is needed.  What do I need to do?

    I am trying to update an old version of itunes, my computer says it took place, but when I try to sync my daughters new ipod it says a newer version if itunes is required?

    In iTunes, look at Help/About iTunes and as the screen rolls up, check for the version number. Ignore the bit that says iTunes 10 in massive bold lettering, wait for the smaller text to appear as the it rolls up. The latest version (on 15th April 2012) is iTunes 10.6.1.7 and the text you should see will simply state iTunes 10.6.1.7. Underneath that will be "gumpf" about copyright etc.
    If your iTunes does not say this, then something must have gone wrong with the update you did. How did you do it? The usual way is to simply select (in your iTunes), Help/Check for Updates. In my case, the return message I see states This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version. The alternative message will state something like "there is a later version of iTunes available, do you wish to download it" or similar. Selecting "Yes" would begin the download and if you leave it to run itself, the update should take effect, providing you don't stop it or (I guess) keep iTunes so busy it cannot run the update. It may need to close and re-open before the change takes effect.
    At a guess, the reason your daughter's iPod is saying it requires a newer version of itunes is either because you've just bought it, and you have a fairly old version of iTunes - AH!, that may be the problem. >>
    >> If the version of iTunes you had installed was very old, then the update may have updated to something other than the latest version. So even if the update has taken place, if it only updated from, for example, iTunes 8 to iTunes 9, then it may need a further update to get to version 10 or to 10.6.1. So for you, now, check after update for the version your iTunes thinks it is until it states iTunes 10.6.1.7.
    Alternatively, if your daughter's iPod has been Synced with another computer (with a later version of iTunes than yours, even by one increment), then that would cause then issue you currently have, because her iPod will now only want to work the the latest version it has previously done business with, not your old version.
    Note; the current version of iTunes as I've stated it, may change any day. Apple do not announce when updates will be released. Uisng Help/Check for Updates and seeing the return message This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version is the only sure way of telling that you are up to date.
    Additional note; gumpf = slang for "random junk".
    Let us know how you get on.

  • I want to return to an old versions of iTunes

    Hi guys!
    When I download my software update for my MacBook, it stops my  MacBook connecting to the internet unless I'm in the same room as the router.
    To rectify this, I have returned to the operating system 10.6.3, but the most recent iTunes upgrade is not compatible with this operating system. So I was wonering if there was a way to return to an old version of iTunes? Any help is very much appreciated!

    OK, here I am replying to myself but perhaps others may gain from this solution. Remember, this original post was "how to stop Adobe preventing me from installing an older version and forcing me to take the latest version...". I just wanted to re-install an older version to prevent big CPU usage and stuttering video. Well, this is what fixed it for me an allowed me to install Adobe Flash V9...
    Assuming you have properly uninstalled Adobe Flash Player v10.n, you need to remove a folder and files from your registry. If you are unhappy to do this, then ask an expert - the registry is not somewhere you want to get lost in. I am also assuming you have the correct system permissions, Anway this is what I did:
    1. Go to start button and find (and run) REGEDIT.EXE
    2. Rather than give you a specific path to follow, it is best to simply use REGEDIT to find the folder by clicking "Edit" then "Find".
    3. You are looking for a folder called "SafeVersions".
    4. When you find it, it may show a number of safe versions (previous loads of the player).
    5. From the left window pane, right click on the aforementioned folder then click "Delete"
    6. Respond to any prompts you might get, like, "do you want to do this..." etc.
    7. Close down all applications in the normal manner and reboot.
    8. When restarted, go back on line and download the V9 (or whatever version you want). You'll know its a good 'un as it loads in a fraction of the time.
    9. Go back to your web page or whatever and, hey presto, everything is back to what it was before that hungry V10.n was uploaded.
    Hope that helps, it might be nice if the Adobe uninstaller deleted this registry entry, but it doesn't - or at least in Win7 on my PC, it didn't.
    Let me know it the above works for you.
    Thanks and good luck

  • Unable to install iTunes 8 or to uninstall old version of iTunes

    I have an old version of iTunes (more than two years) and wish to install iTunes 8. However, I am neiher able to install the latest version of iTunes or uninstall the old one. When I try the windows uninstall program, I get the error message that the path to AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi cannot be found. It appears the update has not taken effect, but I cannot find the above update file to do that. Thoughts much apprecitated.

    I've found it !
    The answer is here : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1838835&tstart=15
    Install the Windows Installer Cleanup tool and remove the entries for :
    . Apple Software Update
    . Bonjour
    . Quicktime
    . iTunes
    Then, the installation program will work correctly !
    1 day lost for that.
    Thansk Mr Apple to fix your installation procedure ! It is too much fragile !
    and remember that temporary directories are made to be cleaned up !

  • Unable to remove old version of iTunes, apple application support.msi

    Hi, I'm having trouble with my itunes and i don't know how to uninstall the old version of itune or uninstall the apple application support file that is in my control panel if anybody can help it will be greatly apprciated....

    Did you get your issue resolved?  I think I'm having the same problem.  I can't uninstall itunes and I can't reinstall itunes without a box popping up stating
    " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.  Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below"
    And when I search for that file on my computer, it finds 2 different paths and NEITHER of them contain the .msi file.   I'm ready to pay apple support just so I can scream at someone.  This is so frustrating!!!!

  • Old Versions of iTunes

    Is it possible to get hold of old versions of iTunes? I am transferring my Library and Media to a new computer and I can't get V8.2.1.6 which the Library was created in.

    Thanks for taking the trouble to respond.
    I have had to transfer iTunes to a new PC as the old one is dying. I stored my MEDIA on an external drive which I have simplied moved across to the new machine.
    My LIBRARY was created in iTunes v8.2.1.6 and I understand from others that the latest version of iTunes wont read this library.
    From what you say trying to get V9 reading the old Library may work - I guess I could try. Do you think that will work?
    My alternative is to try and upgrade my old machines, if it will bootup, to the latest version and then update the new machine to the same version and then transfer the library over.
    Think I'll try both options.
    Thanks for making me think the problem through more carefully.

  • "The old version of iTunes cannot be removed. Contact our technical support group"

    I tried to install iTunes on an old computer I Recently received from a friend. I tried to install iTunes from the Apple website and it gives me the message with "The old version of iTunes cannot be removed. Contact our technical support group". I went on my Control Panel and deleted Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple software Update, Bonjor, and even Quicktime Player in the respectable order. No things say iTunes was installed. I deleted everything from my Applicantion data to my Temp files. There are no files in my computer linked with Apple or iTunes, and when i try it after i delete it again and again, the problem still persits. Can you help?
    I have a Windows XP 2002 computer, the general Information about my computer is Inter(R) Penttium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz 2.98GHz, 1.25GB or RAM

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you are running 64-bit Windows and the above steps haven't helped try installing the version of iTunes that can be downloaded from this support document. iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    If you still have no luck try reinstalling iTunes 12.0, links in the user tip.

  • Changes made using "old" version of iTunes not showing up

    A colleague uploaded new thumbnails and created new courses in an old version of iTunes. When I go on our page – using the current version of iTunes - none of the changes are reflected. When I log in as the administrator, I now see it in the “old” version (I used to see the current version/configuration) and all the changes are there. We made these edits a few weeks ago. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • How do I get an old version of iTunes?

    I'm running 10.4.11 and because of some quirks with a Final Cut Pro project I have on my system I cannot upgrade Quicktime past 7.1.6. Unfortunately, I accidentally upgraded iTunes to a newer version which won't run on Qtime 7.1.6. Looking around the web, and this forum, I can't find an old version of iTunes for Mac anywhere. Any ideas? I'd hate to have to resort to reinstalling Tiger just for one little app.
