Problems with Old version of iTunes!!!

After finding out that my AOpen DVD drive is not compatible with ITunes version 6, I downloaded version 5 from oldapps.com. When I try to play a song or burn a cd, it tells me that my computer is not authorized. After authorizing it, a message says: "This item (song) requires a later version of ITunes to purchase". Of course I've alreay purchased these songs and simply want to play or burn them. Also, I have not authorized my songs on any computer but mine. Is there anyway to play and burn songs I've recently downloaded using an old version?

DON'T UPGRADE!!! If you have seen any of the discussions regarding 7.5, and there are too many to count, you will know why. I avoided upgrading, the whole "if it isn't broke" theory, until I tried purchasing some new music and I was prompted that I had to upgrade in order to get the new music. I upgraded and now I can't burn the music I purchased. Trying to burn causes my computer to "crash". I've spent countless hours trying to figure this out, and frankly I'm afraid to connect my iPod for fear of what will happen to that. Read through some of the discussions regarding 7.5, I think you'll choose not to upgrade.

  • Serious problem with old versions of sub-vi's installing on application upload

    Hi
    I am having a series problem which is proving wildly frustrating.
    I have recompiled an application but when I upload it on the host computers the host computers seem to upload old versions of the code even though they have been deleted.
    I smell a Windows Cache problem but can't see how to get round it.
    Anybody have any ideas.  If not should I shoot myself before or after I get fired?
    Either way help appreciated
    Ash

    Hi Ashley,
          I've been compiling and deploying LabVIEW applications for a long time, and never seen a windows-cach problem!
    Here are a few (of my) mistakes that resulted in execution of old code:
    Forgetting to update the Top-level VI in the .bld, after the top-level VI's location changed.
    Compiling to a different location than the one I copied the "new" EXE from.
    Compiling with Installer option, then switching-off Installer option (for faster compiles), then, post compile, instead of copying new EXE - doing an Install and installing old EXE!
    After copying or installing new EXE to host, forgetting to update menu-options and "shortcuts" - which still point to old EXE.
    Some ideas:
    Write a new/unique version# to the Main VI's Window Title (VI properties), so you can tell quickly which version is running.
    After compiling, pay close attention to the creation time of the "new" EXE to be sure it is new.
    After copying or installing, launch the new EXE by double-clicking on it (don't trust existing shortcuts.)
    Cheers!

    This doesn't make sense. Your statement "even though it's showing its connected" means that iTunes does see the iPad. Or am I misreading what you are saying?

  • In FCPX 10.1.2 how do you edit in proxy mode...and after you are done editing in proxy mode, how do you switch back to original media? I had no problems with old version but complicated with newer version.

    In old version of FCPX I could easily edit in proxy mode which i found to be a quicker way of editing...all i did was goto preferences and click on playback tab and change it from original media to proxy...and i could go right into editing, and when i was finished before i would export my project i would switch back to original media...then i would export my project. Now i'm having a hard time accomplishing this on the newer version fcpx 10.1.2.  Somebody please help me....thanks in advance!!!

    Click the triangle at the top right of the viewer and choose proxy or optimized/original as appropriate.

  • Problems with latest version of iTunes

    When I launched iTunes last night, I was prompted to download the new version. Now, when I attach my iPod(60GB Video), its not recognized by iTunes, but is recognized as a storage device by Windows.
    I tried to download iTunes again and reinstall, but received an error message.
    HELP!

    Unfortunately, there is no one ‘Silver Bullet’ answer for this issue. Many things can contribute to the problem. Here are various ‘generic’ solutions that you can try in an effort to correct your problem. One should work. These are listed in simplest to more involved order (usually).
    First, make sure that the iPod is fully charged.
    Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
    Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
    This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
    Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
    Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
    Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
    If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
    -- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
    -- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
    -- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
    -- Safely eject the iPod
    -- Reboot the PC
    If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
    Your PC may have difficulty with the USB2 protocol and the iPod. See this Article for a possible solution: iPod not Recognized Correctly
    Also try these hints (and the other suggestions above) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.
    Try using another PC if you have access to one. Even a Mac may help. Try Restoring it on the other computer and moving it back to yours.

  • 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.

  • Sync "old" iPod Nano with new version of iTunes

    My old computer crashed and I lost iTunes. So I downloaded iTunes 7 on my new computer but now I'm having problems with my nano. When I plug in the nano I can see the songs in iTunes, but I can't do anything with them (delete, etc.) iTunes keeps telling me that my nano is "synced" with another version of iTunes but I don't have that version anymore.
    I really hope somebody can help me out with this!

  • 3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics.  Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one.  From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

    Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
    There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

  • I have an old Mac laptop that Apple no longer supports -- so, I can't download the latest version of iTunes. Also, I got a new iPhone that won't communicate with my old version of iTunes. How do I transfer my music from my laptop to my new phone?

    Old version of iTunes on laptop won't transfer music to my new iPhone.

    Your profile shows you are running Lion (10.7.5). If this is the case, you certainly can sync with a new iPhone. If you are not running Lion, you will need to upgrade to at least Snow Leopard (10.6.8). See below to purchase.

    You need to restore the pre-upgrade backup of the library file in the manner shown in  Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.
