Will the New iTunes 11 for Windows work on Windows 98???

Will the New iTunes 11 for Windows work on Windows 98???
A. True.
B. False.

My opinion is no. Apple has no plans updating version 11 to meet the needs of Windows 98 being that #1 - Windows is pushing forward with their Windows 8 operating system launching in a week and iTunes 11 would have needed to be re-written from scratch to accomodate the Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems. It is a known issue that iTunes is bloated and most Windows users will use other media players to manage their music rather than iTunes. #2, Windows 98 is so old that even Windows does not recommend anyone using anything past XP as you are exposing your PC to viruses or anything that no longer can be patched. I highly recommend upgrading to atleast to Windows 7 and this is of course if your PC matches the bare minimum of hardware to use iTunes 10.7 and 11. You are actually doing more harm than good by using an outdated OS.

Will the new iTunes 11 still work for power users?

I've looked at the available screenshots, and I'm worried.
On the new iTunes page, Apple says, "Simplicity is a beautiful thing" — but I'm not so sure. I don't see any conventional list views, and I'm very worried that in simplifying it, they've sacrificed the control that so many music lovers like myself have come to rely on.
Here's Apple's info:

Anyone have additional insight?

I disagree. Apple has added many, many features to iTunes over the years that target the power user. From smart playlists, to obscure things like ID3 tag version control. Power users features are sprinkled throughout iTunes. And to say that Apple doesn't have a "specific committment to produce a certain style product" is true, but also fairly obvious/meaningless.
2) iTunes' developments over the past decade have largely been in the marketing facet. As for basic music playing not much has changed since it was developed from Soundjam. What has changed a lot is the introduction of the iTunes Store and interfacing with mobile devices.
Basic music playing has changed a LOT. You couldn't even rate your tracks in the beginning.
3) Apple is a for-profit corporation. We might like to remember them as the little-computer-that-could taking on the big corporations, but frankly they aren't that anymore. They have a responsibility to their shareholders to do whatever it takes to maximize profit. We don't really know what the October iTunes looks like (much) but if they decide to dumb it down so it is easier for people primarily interested in using iPhones to use then from a marketing perspective can't blame them. We might not like it and might yearn for the the days when Apple really was computers, but those days are gone.
This is simplified to point of meaninglessness. There's an interaction between customers and product design teams. It may not be obvious from the outside, but there's still a give & take. What you're saying is in essence is, "Shut up and accept whatever happens," which is not a rational approach.
4) If Apple decided iTunes wasn't in their interest they would drop it in a flash. Where's iDVD? iDVD was something people were willing to pay for. They still would, but Apple isn't selling it anymore even though it is clear people in general have not given up on DVDs.
iDVD is not a good comparison, because of the vastly different switching costs. I used iDVD, but was fairly unaffected by its slow demise.

I accepted a version update and now iTunes closes on launch with the message "iTunes has stopped working. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." What to do?

Hey Todd Rubenson,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iTunes for Windows unexpectedly quitting. The following resource may provide a solution:

Will the new iTunes be able to ad art work to wave files?

Will the new iTunes be able to ad art work to wave files?

Anyone who knows exactly what features are being introduced cannot comment here. We will all be able to see for ourselves soon enough.
The new iTunes might allow users to associate their own artwork with .wav tracks if/when the iTunes Store can't provide anything suitable, but my guess is that it won't. As above, the standard WAV format doesn't include support for tags, or embedded artwork.

Will the wired Apple Mighty Mouse work with Windows Vista SP1?

The above question. Will I have to download any extra drivers? Is the MM really that bad? Thanks.

In reality... probably. Why would you want it anyway? There are many many better mice out there.

I installed the new iTunes 11.1.4 with windows and when I plog in my new iPod, I get a warning notice telling me to install the 64-bit version, how do I fix this problem?

Please Help I don't know what to do
I just installed the new iTunes 11.1.4 and when I plug in my iPod touch, it sends me a warning note
telling me that the requested software is not installed, to uninstall iTues and install it again with the 64 bit version
I've already tried it but the same thing happens

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

Will the Lenovo Helix Digitizer Pen work with Windows 7

Hello forum,
I work in the IT department and we have recently order a number of Lenovo Helix to use for special projects.
We will be downgrading to Windows 7 64-bit.
My question is will the digitizer pen still be supported by Windows 7?
Maybe I over looked, but I did not see any drivers that seemed to be associated with the digitizer pen or any previous mention of this and downgrading to Windows 7.
Any information you can provide will be helpful.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Welcome to the forum!
Stylus pen is natively supported by W7 and it will work "out of the box".
Cheers,
George

Will the bash fix for Lion work on Snow Leopard?

I agree. When I tried using symlinks to send calls to bash & sh to tcsh instead, I found a lot of broken shell scripts. I don't think tcsh has been maintained very well since it's use with OS X 10.0 through 10.2. I had better luck with xsh, though.
This is what I used for a day or so with Mavericks:

Will the new iWorks for the iPad work on the iPhone, too?

I think that would be cool... Also, is there any chance that the keyboard will work on the iPhone, too? Now that would allow for a bit of super portability that I have not had before.

As I said in my other thread, you do not make sense. If you have full SDK kit (iPhone 3.2 beta) and the developer can see sample code and have a user interface, then they can certainly develop to the spec's of the hardware and the OS. No developer is allowed to compromise the native OS as that is part of a development agreement; however, to utilize and develop for this format, they must, will and do explore all features. This is why many developers blog about what the tool can and cannot do. We are not in a NDA pre-release mode, like the iPhone OS 4.0 is right now. Anyone working on iPhone OS 4.0 cannot talk about that. It has not been released. The only reason why the SDK 3.2 is beta is because the hardware has not yet been released (60 days) and there is a slight chance for revision due to bugs or better or cleaner code in the OS and developers explore the device via their development.
I kindly beg to differ with you. I believe you have a misunderstanding of the SDK released kit. Again, if you could provide the details where a developer can develop for a released product but they are not allowed to test it using the new features, I would love to see it. That would hinder development and possibly cause a business implosion in my opinion.

I installed the new itunes 11.0.4 on windows and now some of my movies will not play

Some of my movies will play in itunes, but some of them make it crash and I have played them previously in other versions of Itunes. Is anyone else having the same trouble? Also, it is putting some of my movies in the home video file and not the movie files. Any suggestions on that? thanks

Will the new ATI graphics card work on PowerMac G5 Quad?

Hello,
I'm having a problem with my PowerMac G5 Quad, simply the graphics card is at fault. The rest of the machine is in perfect working order. I need a new graphics card and i've searched ebay (UK) and found some products. However, I would like a new graphics card with a little more power.
As I develop code using the OpenCL API on the windows machine, I would like to transfer this process over to my Mac (have to install OpenCL API myself, as Leopard does not have native OpenCL support). More importantly, OpenCL supports selected GPU types i.e. latest GPUs from ATI/Nvidia.
Simply put, would anyone know or have experience installing the newer ATI/NVIDIA generation of Mac Graphic cards on PowerMac G5 Quads and if so, which graphic card (ATI RADEON 4850 etc).
As I think about this, both PowerMac G5 Quad and Mac Pro utilise PCI-E and yes, even though graphics cards are not particularly interchangeable on different architectures (or are they?) I would just like to know if anyone can give me advice or if anyone has had success or failure at such an attempt.
I really cannot afford to buy a Mac Pro machine and there is still many years of life left in my PowerMac G5. I really need your help and advice friends.

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
No modern card will work in a G5.
The best that one can do in a PCIe graphics G5 is to use a flashed Geforce 7800 GTX 512MB card.
That card is the pinnacle of GPU power for a G5.
There are no options beyond that.
Here is a full, "short" list of options:

I run both. V Box is slightly more convenient because I don't have to shut down OS X to use it, but for running games then Boot Camp is best.
