Upgrading iTunes from older version

I have iTunes4 on this computer and want to know if I can upgrade to the newer version without having a problem.
thanks

Does your system match or better the specifications listed on the iTunes download page, Ted? They're to the left of the page, beneath the "Download now" button:

Why uninstall all files to upgrade Desktop from older version on CD You loose user manual and God knows what else!

Upgraded Palm desktop for Macintosh. Followed std help instructions to put my user data in safe place and then proceed with deleting all old version files.
I'm done with version upgrade, now where is the documentation to use it? I used to have a document folder in PALM application folder, but the new install didn't create it. No manual, no readme files. I do still have the V4.0 CD.
Versions:
WAS desktop 4.0 (2002) .....................IS 4.2.1 Rev D
It seems like their instructions to get all the PALM files off the hardrive mean there is no use for what is on the CD once you run a software install off their website. But even this popular solution mentions in 2nd paragraph their are "certain features" on the CD. lost CD sol'n
I have read you want the CD data on hardrive when upgrading, or maybe just keep it for extra files like RealPlayer...

Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

ITunes substituted older versions for my Playlist.

I drug 23 audio files from outside iTunes into a new iTunes playlist. However, iTunes immediately loaded older versions of those audio files (that had the same file name) from my iTunes library instead-and without any warning. What's with that? This is a serious matter. I was making practice play-along audio CDs for members of my band to use, and iTunes substituted older versions of the tunes--that had the same file name--from my iTunes library into my new playlist so the CD I burned from that playlist then had outdated versions of our tunes on it. This is not good. How do I keep iTunes from doing that?

I USED to be able to get a playlist or two, I had gotten 5 GB of music back on it by putting 1-2 playlists on, ejecting, plugging back in, rinse, repeat. Now iTunes locked up AGAIN, checked the iPod, NO MUSIC. Really glad I bought this ******* piece of **** two years ago! Totally worth my money!
Now, on top of all this, I find this in the help section.
Symptoms
You may notice the following symptoms on your Windows PC after installing the iCloud Control Panel, iTunes 10.5 or later, or Safari 5.1 or later:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
iTunes is slow to respond.
Windows is slow to respond.
iTunes stops responding when backing up or syncing with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Oh, so you mean that since you guys released 10.5, (and its now up to 10.6.??) people have had this issue of their iTunes not responding? What the ****. So basically since 10.5 people have had their iTunes not working correctly? Fix this crap.
I already did the LSP check thing, only one besides the apple one are two windows ones that are up to date and should be there. There is no other help to be had. What a joke.

Will Lightroom and Photoshop CC work with Indesign/Illustrator/etc from older versions of CS installed on my Mac?

if I subscribe to the Photo plan, will Lightroom and Photoshop CC output work with Indesign/Illustrator/etc from older versions of CS installed on my Mac?

I currently have premiere cs4 and cs5 installed and have had no problems. I have noted on the forums here that some people were reporting problems. So the only way to realy know is make the plunge. I'm running win 7 pro.

If I download the newest version of iTunes to my Mac will I lose everything on iTunes from my version i have now

You should lose nothing.
However, this does not change the fact that you should ALWAYS have a backup copy of everything in your computer, including itunes.
You should ALWAYS make sure that your backup copy of your computer is up to date before any update, restore, etc.

ITunes w/ Older version of Quicktime?

Quicktime 7 destroys the ability of Image Converter 1.5 used for creating quicktime files on the Clie. Thus, I've had to roll back to Quicktime 6. However, I want iTunes back on my system but it appears bundled only with QT7 (which I will not allow back on my system). Is there an older version of iTunes that can be used that doesn't require QT7?

I use Image Converter 1.5 to transfer movies to my CLIE also. I had the same issue.
I had to revert back to Quicktime 6.5.2.
I do not have iTunes any more because I cannot find an installation file for an earlier version anywhere.
Does anyone know where I can get an iTunes 4 installer bundled with Quicktime 6.5.2?
Sony has acknowledged this problem. Here is the text from their knowledge base:
Knowledge Article C406201
The Image Converter 1.5 software no longer works.
This issue occurs when the Apple® QuickTime® player is upgraded to the 7.0 version and, at this time, that version of the Apple® QuickTime® player is not compatible with the Image Converter 1.5 software.
NOTE: The Apple® QuickTime® player is upgraded to the 7.0 version automatically when the Apple® iTunes® software is upgraded to version 5.0 or higher.
This issue is currently being investigated by Sony and as soon as a solution is available it will be posted to the Sony® CLIÉ® Handheld Support web site at http://www.sony.com/peg/support

I use windows 7 32bit
I've tried to click on SetupAdmin.exe but nothing happen
If I click in iTunes.msi it says me that it is missing Quicktimes.

Can't download songs because itunes wants older versions of it 7.4 and 7.2

Okay here's my issue. I want to buy a new song from iTunes and most songs come up with this error. It says I need to download 7.2 or 7.4 versions of i Tunes, but I already have 7.5!! Plus everytime I open up iTunes it says I need to update to 7.5 even though I already have it. I thought iTunes must be running off of older versions of itself so I deleted all the old itunes set-ups exceot for the 7.5 versions. But I still keep getting all this updating problems still. Did I do something wrong and accidently erased 7.2 and 7.4 versions I still needed? If so, how do I re-download them??

hi,
I don't know exactly how to solve your issue. But iTunes really doesn't need any older versions to run in order to work properly. Therefore, you haven't done anything wrong by not keeping older versions. But when you download an iTunes update, you do not need to uninstall manually previous version. You should simple let the iTunes updater do its work.
It appears to me that somehow your system is beleiving that you still have a version older tan 7.2 despite the fact to you have 7.5 installed. This is why it is asking you to update. It may be related to your manual removal of your previous version.
Have you simply try to reinstall 7.5?

Replacing newest iTunes with older version.

I uninstalled the latest version of iTunes (which I hate) and am trying to install an older version (10.7) and when I try to open the older version, I get the statement:
(The file "i Tunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by newer version of iTunes)
Can someone please tell me how to get the older version to work?
Many thanks

After working on this all day i was about to give up when i came across this on the apple site... and best of all - IT WORKS!!! My computer (running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit) and itunes finally recognizes my ipod 5th gen again!! Give it a try!
Reinstall USB driver:
Right-click the iPod's entry in Device Manager and choose Uninstall from the shortcut menu.
In the resulting dialog box, click OK.
In the Device Manager window, right-click Universal Serial Bus controllers and choose Scan for hardware changes from the shortcut menu.
Windows automatically reinstalls the necessary USB drivers and attempts to remount the iPod.

Upgrading iTunes from 10.1.2 to 10.5

I'm trying to upgrade iTunes on my Mac from 10.1.2 to 10.5 and it's not installing. I thought that I would have had the most recent version since my Mac is supposed to automatically tell me when I need to updates something and it doesn't seem to be doing that either. Any ideas as to why?

No response from Apple Discussion Community. But iTunes Store became operatuibal as of 11/30/2012

Problem with imported pdfs from older version

I'm working in CS4. The InDesign document I'm working on was originally done in an older version of InDesign (not sure which). It contains imported pdfs that were created in CS2 and CS3. When I export to pdf the older imported pdfs don't display properly on my client's PC - the type is not there, only boxes with question marks - but the pdf looks fine on my screen. I upgraded from CS2 to CS4. The only way I've gotten around this is to export the CS4 InDesign document as an .INX file, have a friend open it up in CS3 and save down to an .INX file again, open the doc up in CS2, create the pdf from CS2, and open it in the older version of Acrobat. Then my client sees the type clearly on their PC
I'm using Suitcase (thought it was a font issue, but I don't think so now as the fix seemed to be between the CS versions.
Anyone else have this problem and/or a better solution? I'd like to be able to simply export a pdf and be done with it.
Thanks!

Thats it thank you!
There was a text wrap applied to all the graphics. its working perfectly now!!
Thank you again!!!

Cannot update Itunes. Older version of Bonjour cannot be removed

Trying to update Itunes, but dowload stops stating 'Older version of Bonjour cannot be removed' ' Ask your Technical support group'
I am computer stupid and do not understand any of this. Is there a simple way to overcome 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. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
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 Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Restart the PC, and try another install. Does it go through properly this time?

I can't install Itunes (The older version of Apple Software Update...)

I try to reinstall Itunes many times, but this message keep popping up :''The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group''. So I google the problem, and tried many solutions that people says like use windows installer cleanup utility (and it says we're sorry, we encountered an expected problem downloading one or more components and can't run the troubleshooter right now. Please try again later) , delete ASU from add/remove control panel (It says The installation source of this product is unavailable. Verify that source exists and that you can access it).
Please help ~ What should I do?!? T.T

I have the same problem as yours too. It always says ''The older version of Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group''.
