Upgrade to iTunes 10.1 won't work

I am trying to upgrade to iTunes 10.1 on my brother's computer. He has a powerbook g4, 15 inch, running OS 10.4.11.
When we "Check for Updates" in iTunes, we get a message saying that this version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version. When I run software update, it says all software is up to date. When I tried downloading iTunes 10.1 straight from the apple website, it downloads and opens, but I cannot open the installer - I get a message saying "Couldn't open, this package type requires OS 10.5"
I am afraid to erase iTunes completely and start from scratch, because my brother has an iPhone and does not want to lose the backup files, as his boss accidentally erased all of his media from his phone, including pictures that he doesnt have saved anywhere else.
HELP? Thanks.

Thank you for your help. I have one final question - is there a way to revert the iphone back to the older version of iOS that worked with 9.2.1? He was using it up through Christmas time, and I think his boss must have updated it to the new version of iOS when he took it, which caused it to not work with his computer anymore. He doesn't use the computer regularly so he doesn't want to dump money into the newer OSX if he doesn't have to.
Thanks for your time!

My iTunes Music Store Won't Work

My iTunes music store won't work. Ever since I tried upgrading my iTunes, the music store cannot connect. I don't think it is the iTunes itself because I have talked to people and theirs is working fine. Mine worked until I tried to update it. I tried to re-upgrade it but it still won't work.

It's working for me now. If it's working for you too then ignore the next step else go ahead and give it a try.
I uninstalled quick time and then itunes.
Restarted the machine and re-installed the latest update.
This works! Good luck.

Are you sure it was error 0604 since I never heard of that error, it does not appear in the list of errors in the following and a search of Apple's support site gets no hits. However, error 1604 is list and users have reported that error number. If 1604 is the error number the following tell yu wnat to do when you click on that error number:

Are you trying to transfer the GarageBand projects or the rendered audio files? What version of GarageBand do you have on your iPhone?
I do not think you can share your GarageBand projects from your iPhone to GarageBand on your Mac, unless you have iCloud, afaik, only the audio files.
How did you transfer the song?
To share from an IOS device the Projects or audio files, see: Share GarageBand songs

My Ipad Mini Remote app worked consistently until I upgraded my iTunes. Now it stops working.

The Remote app worked consistently until I upgraded my iTunes. Now when I first open on my ipad it will work but on subsequent tries it won’t connect and tells me that I have to turn on home sharing (Which is already turned on). This is using my ipad mini to connect to iTunes on Win 8.1
Very frustrating. I wish I hadn't downloaded the iTunes update!

Look at this similar post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3816868?start=15&tstart=0
Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

"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

After upgrading to itunes 10 store won't open

itunes ran great, have two ipods and 1 ipad2 syncing easily.
upgraded to itunes 10.5, and now itunes store won't open, and ipad won't sync.
did the new upgrade today, hoping that would fix it, but no joy.
please help. very frustrating.

Hi(Bonjour)!
I had the same issue yesterday after this installation - upgrade over FCE 3.0.1 .
FCE 3.5 simply won't open, but livetype and soundtrack were okay.
So I've followed Apple"s support link to remove JUST the newly installed FCE 3.5 (not livetype and Soundtrack nor media associated to those 2 applications) :
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301182
and after a installation of FCE 3.5 only, everything work now perfectly.
So I think it's a better way to uninstall prior version of FCE before installing 3.5 (the installation way, not upgrade way).
Make sure to have your original serial number (not the previous upgrade one). For me, the upgrade serial number of my 3.0 copy did not worked, I had to use the original full package number of my 2.0.1 version).
Good luck to anyone who bought the 3.5 upgarde version.

Try rebooting it and connect. Make sure you're connected directly to a USB port using the Apple USB cable.

Upgraded my iTunes & now it won't open at all

I just upgraded my iTunes to 9.02 from a really old version, about 10 minutes ago. I am fairly certain I followed all the steps correctly. I now cannot open iTunes at all from the table at the bottom of my desktop. The icon is there but it will not open. I'm afraid of losing EVERYTHING that I had in my old version. PLEASE HELP!! Thanks in advance. I'm not a happy camper.

even if you use firefox, iTunes 9 needs Safari 4 to work properly.
try running software update from the  menu. from that menu you can also choose +about this Mac+ to check which system software you're running.
just update to/put Safari 4 on your machine and see what happens. you can continue to use FF.

Help!!! ISO5 installed and now my itunes store/sync won't work

Hi, a few days ago i installed the iso5 update, eversince then i have not been able to access the itunes store. When i plug my ipod in it says 'backing up', it regognised my ipod but so does computer to open files which usually doesn't happen. When i plug my ipod out it still says 'backing up' and itunes is impossible to use, my ipod still works fine. I have checked that i have the most up to date itunes 10.5. I have unintalled and reinstalled itunes 3 times. The second time last night it worked and I synced my ipod, then today by ipod started 'backing up' and now I can't do anything. Can anyone help, is there anyway just to revert back to IOS4, everything worked fine and I was happy, i dont need or want the up date, i found the apple page with the last IOS software but it says the download is avalible on itunes which i can access.
Has anyone had the same problems? and if so how have you solved them?
Thanks

I updated iTunes to v10.5 and then plugged my iPOD Touch 4 (32GB), which invited me to update from iOS4 to iOS5. The download trundled on for about an hour (as they do!), but during the download, or installation (I can't remember) which a flag appeared with 'Rescuing' or a similar phrase, and carried on downloadin. The download appeared to finish OK and then the sync cycle began. All my Apps, contacts etc synced OK, but the iTunes syc stopped after only a small fraction of my tunes were synced. A message came up 'sync canceled'. I have tried changing from 'sync' all tunes in Library to selected Playlists, but no joy. All the songs appear to be on the iPOD, but only those in bold play. The rest are in pale script and don't play. I was going to delete all my tunes from the iPOD and readd fron my iTunes library from scratch, but I don't know how to do that. Perhaps upgrading both iTunes & iPOD consecutively was pushing it!
I would be very grateful if anyone can help. Thanks

Upgraded flash player, now it won't work (Win7 64bit, IE9)

I upgraded Flash Player last night, and now it won't work, period. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling ad nauseum, but to no avail. Based on some of the troubleshooting information, it looks like it's not appearing in IE's list of add-ons, but I don't know how to fix it so that it does - the install insists it's successful every time.
Anyone know what's going on?

If I go to the versions page, it wants me to install Adobe Flash (again), regardless of how many times I've run the installation before.

Upgraded and now plug ins won't work

I recently upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 and further to FCP 6.0.4. Now certain plug ins won't work--such as Magic Bullet Looks, Core Melt Editing Pack and Slick FX.
Any ideas on what I can do to get things working again?
Thanks!

Check with the vendor for each of the plugins to see if they have an update or upgrade available to make them compatible with your version of FCP, QT and OS.
