System is too old to up date to iTune7 and can't buy songs without it?

My mac is from a stone age era of OS10.2.5. I tried to purchase some musics from iTune today and its site is asking me to update iTune7 when I try to make a purchase and the only link on that site is mac.com. There is no "update later" or similar link. However, iTune can't be installed on my mac because it requires Mac OS X10.3.9 or higher. How can I purchase music without updating to new system nor iTune7 ? Somebody please help!

I was in a similar bind, and the solution of upgrading to iTunes 6.0.5 worked like a charm for me, too. (I've got an aging iMac running 10.2.8 so there's not much point to upgrading to a newer Mac OS.) However, the URL given by "flipm0e" did not work, possibly having been changed in the interim. After some searching I found the correct page with a slightly different URL:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605formac.html
Now I can get back to building my collection of Stones tunes -- Thanks much!

    You should call Apple but you should get an email from Apple. I got one a few minutes ago and this is what they said about AppleCare+ :
    Thank you for your recent iPhone 5 purchase at the Apple Store.
    We would like to let you know that every iPhone comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support. AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee.
    We noticed you weren't given the opportunity to add AppleCare+ to your iPhone. If you would like to extend your coverage for only $99, please reply to this email by September 21st.
    After that date, if you would still like to purchase AppleCare+ within the first thirty days of receiving your iPhone, you can call AppleCare at 800-MY-IPHONE or visit an Apple Retail Store.
    Thank you for shopping with Apple.
    Sincerely,

    I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.

  • I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

    I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them only as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

    Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
    Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to?  If you do then bring it in and then use  iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
    If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows:  make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library.  But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
    Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB.  That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash.  You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

  • My system is too old to download the latest version...is it possible to access an older version of firefox to download?

    Is there a version that would be compatible with my system? It's a Mac (an old one...not sure how to find out what kind, but it's the MacBook from 2006 or so). How can I access it?

  • HT1414 My iPod has the IOS 5.1.1 OS and I can't download some apps because the operating system is too old. How can I upgrade my iPod without having to buy a new one?

    I have an iPod Touch that has the IOS 5.1.1 and I want to update my OS without having to buy a new device. How can I do this? I have logged into ITunes, backed up my device and it says my device is up to date, but now I can't reload my Facebook App because it says I need IOS 6.0 or higher. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.

  • Can't install safari, says my system is too old but it isn't

    After my last post I've tried to reinstall safari, and my current system is 10.5.3, but the installer says I need a system of 10.5.2 or later.

    Okay, here's your first common mistake: you're deleting things without understand how it will affect anything else. Bad idea. You need to stifle the reflexive urge to delete something just because it may not be working properly. More often than not, you'll just make things worse.
    If you want to reinstall Safari 3.1.1, you need to go to your Users/Username/Library/Receipts folder and remove the Safarixxx.pkg file.
    Now insert the Mac OS X install disc labeled Optional Installs and find the package labeled Safari on that disc and install it. Then use Software Update to bring that version current to 3.1.1. In the future, stop deleting things unless you know exactly what you're doing and how it will affect everything else.
