Windows 2000 iTunes

My Daughter recently selected some songs on iTunes & received a message that we need iTunes version 7.2 or later. When I search through the download section I only get a link to version 7.4, which requires XP or Vista. Where can I get a Win 2000 supported update? (our iTunes version is 7.1.1.5)

Click here and download the file.

  • IPod will not charge when iTunes in open in Windows 2000

    I have a problem with WIndows 2000 iTunes install where the iPod will connect but as soon as it has finished synchronizing the iPod will go back to the main screen and stop charging. I saw several posts on this with no resolution.
    I dont have a fix yet but I do have a work around.
    Fire up iTunes and plug in the iPOD. It will recognize it and sync. Then select Options and in the iPOD tab uncheck the box which says " launch iTunes when iPOD connects" or something similar. Apply and Exit from options menu.
    iTunes will resync with the iPOD. You can now disconnect the iPOD and close iTunes.
    Now if you connect the iPOD, iTunes will NOT launch and the iPOD will charge fine, at least mine does:-)
    If you now run iTunes it will still connect automatically with the iPOD as before and do all the usual stuff. The only downside to this workaround is that you have to manually start iTunes ( hardly a big deal) and close it and disconnect then reconnect the iPOD ( or just connect it and not start iTunes) for it to charge.
    Works for me.
    There was a lot of black magic quoted on this support site relating to buying chargers, third party or otherwise and USB not having enough power on thursdays with a 7 in the date or having to use a powered hub of a particular color , alien interference etc etc. All bogus.
    Its an Apple software problem and I hope they fix it in the next iTunes release.
    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the info, but I finally found what was the problem.
    It seems to be related to Itunes config and Nano firmware. I found another post talking about this "Topic: Self-ejecting Nano".
    I had to enable disk use in ipod options, but this causes me to manually eject Nano.

  • Installing Itunes on Windows 2000

Im confused because i already have windows 2000. what should i do? please help!

    There was never a version of iTunes for Windows 98/ME, the first version of iTunes for Windows didn't come along until Windows 2000: iTunes Version History

  • Itunes windows 2000 wont install

    hi,
    i am trying to install itunes on one of my older computers which has win 2k. when i start the installation i get this: "the windows installer service could not be accessed. this can occur if you are running in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. contact your support personal for assistance."
    win2000 sp4, windows installer 3.1 v2., i just upgraded it from windows ME (it is a little slow for win xp)

    Which version of iTunes are you trying to install? Windows 2000 is no longer supported, 7.3.2 is the last version that will work with Windows 2000: iTunes 7.3.2 for Windows 2000

  • ITunes 9 and Windows 7: iTunes frequently locks up

    Hi,
    I just wanted to report that my iTunes frequently will freeze up when not playing. For example it could not be playing a certain song, and I press play, and the play button just freezes at the pushed in state. The only way I've solved this is by rebooting because just ending the process doesn't solve the problem.

    7.3.2 is the last version of iTunes that was designed to work with Windows 2000. Nothing later than that supports 2000: iTunes 7.3.2 for Windows 2000
    iTunes 9 requires:
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, or 32-bit editions of Windows 7. 64-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7 require the iTunes 9.0.2 64-bit installer

  • Playing ipod configured with 7.4 from XP platform on Windows 2000 with 7.3

    I have a classic 80 configured with itunes v 7.4 from XP machine but want to just play music through office machine equipped with windows 2000. itunes only supports version 7.3 on win 2000. How can I configure my ipod just to play on that version?

    +When I check the ipod once completed nothing there. The software version shows as 1.2.2. When I try to upgrade is says it already upgraded. If I try to restore it still stays as 1.2.2. Not sure what the problem is.+
    Firmware version 1.2.2 ... sounds like you've got a 5th generation iPod.
    If so, try the *Windows 2000* instructions (for reverting back to firmware 1.2.1) given in the following document:

  • My itunes won't open in windows 2000

    I just got my first ipod its a 2nd generation nano, I went to support to learn what all i neded to do to get music on it. Apple support told me to dl the latest version of itunes so i did that. After I installed it, I went to the icon and clicked it and it would not open. I tried opening it all other ways you can on a comp and all i get is a little hour glass that stays on for 3 seconds and then goes away nothing loads.
    I have never had itunes on this comp ever soit couldn't be a matter of having other traces of itunes conflicting with the new version.
    I did a complete uninstall and then went through all the steps to make sure there was nothing left of itunes on my comp then i put itunes 6 on my comp and it worked fine but when i plugged my nano into my comp it told me i needed itunes version7 or higher .
    I am truly at a frustrated loss and any help would be greatly appreciated , I have a brand new ipod tha ti cannot use and i have been dying to have some music to listen to while at the gym.

    First off does your computer met these requirements?
    Windows Requirements
    Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or later or Windows XP
    500 MHz Pentium class processor or better
    QuickTime 7.1.5 (included)
    256MB RAM
    Supported CD-R or DVD-R drive to burn CDs
    Broadband Internet connection (DSL/Cable/LAN) for buying and streaming music
    Additional Video Requirements
    2.0 GHz Pentium class processor or better
    512MB RAM
    32MB video RAM
    If iTunes 6 is working fine for you and if your computer meets these requirments try downloading itunes 7 again and see if the problem repeats, if you get any error message during the install post it here that will give many here an idea of what is going on.

  • How to download and use iTunes 7.4 with only Windows 2000

    I have a brand-new iPod Nano (1st generation) with 4 GB capacity, given to me in 2007. I am just getting around to trying to install and use it, but when I try to download the iTunes 7.4 software, I get a message that I need at least Windows XP or Vista to install and use the software with the iPod Nano. I only have Windows 2000 on my computer, which is company owned (so I am not allowed to update my Windows software). Anyone have a solution so that I can get some level of iTunes software in order to use the iPod Nano?? PS I tried to download iTunes 6 software, but I got a message that my iPod nano needed a more recent version of the iTunes software. Same thing happened when I tried to download the iTunes 8 version of the software.

  • ITunes 7.4 for Windows 2000

    When will iTunes 7.4 be available for Windows 2000?
    Regards,
    Antony.

    Whatever. The fact remains that it's highly unlikely, though no user can ever say for sure, that any future version of iTunes will support Windows 2000. So your choices are 1) to upgrade to XP or Vista or 2) don't buy any of the new iPods or an iPhone. Sorry, but that's the status as of today and probably how it will remain.
    Microsoft is going to be supporting it until 2010.
    Just FYI, it's true that Microsoft will be "supporting" Windows 2000 until 2010, but though Microsoft continues to provide security hot fixes and paid support, they will no longer provide any non-security patches. So any bugs or incompatibilities that remain will be there forever, and none of the support architectures, drivers, etc. that exist in newer versions of XP (on which the new versions of iTunes and QuickTime may depend) will ever appear for Windows 2000.
    So your call. You know your options at this point.

  • ITunes 7.4 on Windows 2000 will not show songs in library

    I have a computer running Windows 2000 and iTunes 7.4 that will not load songs onto iTunes. The songs play fine in Windows Media and are MP3's with no DRM. The user drags the song folder onto iTunes library and everything appears to be fine but the music never appears. Have also tried loading music from the file menu but also with no success. User has uninstalled an reinstalled iTunes. MP3's are associated with the iTunes program. I'm at a loss.

    The minimum requirements for iTunes for Windows 7.4 are Windows XP or 32-bit editions of Windows Vista with Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later required for Apple TV. Windows 2000 is no longer supported though there are versions of iTunes 7 earlier than 7.4 that work with it: iTunes 7.3.2 for Windows 2000

  • ITunes not recognizing my Windows xp or Windows 2000

    I've spent 3 days trying to get my daughters ipod to upgrade to 7, I finally got it after I removed my NIS, removed all previous IPod/tunes programing, reloaded..was able to get into the store, then had an error mesge, I fixed it then when I clicked on my itunes, it says "itunes requires windows 2000 or later" what do I need to do? I think I've solved my other error messages, but then maybe not.. so disappointed in the software of IPOD. Also my Windows XP does have the Windows 2000 service pack on it as well. I have changed the capatibility tab on Itunes.exe to every option and no option that they had.

    No it is not as simple as that. You will need to combine XP with SP2 on a single BOOTABLE disk.
    There is a process called "Slipstream". You can slipstream XP and SP2 on to one singe Disk and then use it to install windows on your intel mac via boot camp. Its either this or you will need to go out and buy a full version of XPSP2 or Vista.
    The process of Slipstreaming is explained [HERE_|http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2slipstream.asp].
    There are several threads in the boot camp forum which covers this process. This process is reported be successful at times and a failure at times. It will need to be done perfectly.
    In my opinion, you are better off buying Windows.

  • ITunes not opening for last few weeks (Windows 2000)

    I haven't been able to get my iTunes to work in a few weeks. I try to open it, I usually get no error messages at all (once in a while I get one that just says that itunes.exe encountered errors and needed to close), I do get the hourglass for a split second, and then nothing happens. I've also had Task Manager open to see what happens when I try to open it. iTunes.exe does appear for a split second.
    First, I'm running Win2k, iTunes version 4.7 (yes, I know it's archaic - I've had it since it was current and never had problems). I have a dial-up connection (unfortunately). I do have Norton Antivirus, but it's the 2003 edition (obviously updated, so I don't know if that makes a difference). I don't have Norton Internet Security. I've been using this antivirus program for about 9 months with no problems for over 8 of those months. I don't know that the antivirus program is a problem in this case. As well, I can't think of what I could have installed or changed on my computer to prevent iTunes from operating all of a sudden. Also, I do have a firewall (McAfee), but I've had that for years and it has never interfered with any of my installed programs.
    I did download the newest version of iTunes yesterday, but it won't install (something about a missing or corrupt DLL - it doesn't name which one). I'm not too bothered by that. I'd rather have my old iTunes working. Anyway, I think the problem must be something other than needing the newest version.
    I've seen a lot of instructions (many from 2005 that seem similar to what I'm experiencing) like opting to 'view all hidden files' and then delete a file from the sc info folder (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=823094#823094). I've read through the entire board and searched, scanned, and otherwise followed many of the instructions. Nothing has worked so far. I stress that I've been using iTunes for a few years now (always the same version), and I've never had any problems.
    I'm not totally sure that I don't have some kind of extra-tricky malware that my three spyware programs aren't detecting.
    Any help, hints, or insights would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    So you have reinstalled Quicktime and it now works OK?
    Which version was that?
    A working quicktime means that we now know that any problems you have with iTunes are not because Quicktime doesn't work.
    Silent launch failures of iTunes with a working QT, i.e. one with out error messages have their own set of causes, although your version of iTunes is a bit before my time. One of the key points with them is whether iTunes persists in the task manager or not after it fails.
    With more recent versions of iTunes, silent failures with a non persisting iTunes tend to be due to digital signing issues once spyware is excluded. However I do not know if digital signing affects the early versions of iTunes or Windows 2000. My impression is that it is an issue that appeard recently.
    The issue is discussed for Windows XP in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
    Under: Fix digital signing of Windows drivers
    Also: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813442
    I wonder if it worth trying to install a more recent version of iTunes say, iTunes 6.0.5, that was the last version of iTunes 6 and seemed to work pretty well. If you want to give it a go, you can get it from Apple here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes605forwindows.html
    Or Old Apps.com
    http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.htm
    If you are going to do that I would do a complete removal of iTunes first, there are instructions in the next link, but just follow the section for remove iTunes.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    I am not sure if any of this will help you, it is a shame bnoir isn't around as he is the expert on this kind of thing and was around in the iTunes 4 days.

  • Correct ITunes version for Windows 2000 and Nano

    My daughter just got a Nano for x-mas and is not recognized by old I-tunes software. I assume I need a newer version. However, 8.x that is advertised as latest version does not mention Windows 2000. I can't find any info on what version of ITunes I need or if there is one even compatible with both 2000 and the Nano. Can anyone tell me? I am incredibly frustrated by the lack of info on this and the lack of info in the user's manual. I see there are several different versions/generations of Nano, but have no idea how I am supposed to know what I have. I am not computer illiterate, but find this site poor at explaining questions like; how to tell what generation of Nano one owns, what version of I Tunes is necessary to synch with that version of Nanao, and is that version of ITunes compatible with ones operating system.
    Can someone tell me what version of ITUNES I need (or if it is even possible)and where I can find it? Thank you if anyone can provide this info that Apple chooses not to make easily accessible.

    So does this mean the IPOD is useless unless I get a whole new operating system so I can get the latest ITUNES?
    I also found a fact sheet about what to do to re-install USB drivers if the IPOD isn't recognized by the computer (which it isn't), followed the instructions and it still is not recognized! Is there a place those drivers can be downloaded so I could try something other than ITUNES for putting music on?
    I still contend that MAC does a horrible job of explaining these issues to people when they are buying. I've spent about 4 hours looking at help pages and have yet to see one that mentions minimum system requirements (ie Windows 2000 is not supported) and what, if anything can be done about it. I spent about a half hour trying to locate an e-mail help/customer service address to ask these questions and let them know about my frustration, but all I could find was the phone number, for which I only get one call! I don't have time to spend this much time trying to track this info down. My first computer was a MAC and talked for years about how great they were, but this lack of easy access to basic info/customer service has soured me on them. Sorry about the rant. Thanks for any help. While I am not a computer nerd, I work with them enough to know how to get around.
