Windows 2000 users can't get newer albums only available in v7.4.1?

OK, so I just downloaded iTunes, for the sole reason to purchase the "iTunes Exclusive" _Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [DELUXE EDITION]_ album. Right?
I have Windows 2000, so I went through the steps to get the old(er) version. I finally get it downloaded and installed... open up the store, find the album... and it tells me:
"*This item requires a later version of iTunes to purchase.* To purchase this item, please upgrade to iTunes 7.4.1 or later. iTunes is a free download."
OK. I go to d/l the update, and it tells me that XP or Vista is a system requirement for download.
So... you're telling me that if I want to legally purchase this album, I need a new [expletive] PC? +(or Mac, iPhone, iPod Touch, blah blah blah...)+
*WHAT THE [EXPLETIVE]?* I've had iTunes under 10 min. and I hate it already.
Please tell me I'm very very wrong & am missing something incredibly stupid, and I'm able to upgrade to v7.4.1 with Windows 2000 & purchase this album.

If you want to purchase this album from iTunes then you need the newer version, not necessarily better just newer. To run the newer version of iTUnes then you have to have newer, and better, operating system (not counting Vista here).
No getting around this requirement is you want it from iTunes. New computer not absolutely required. Yours might be able to handle Windows XP depending on what you have.

  • Windows 2000 user account migrate to new Windows 2012 R2 domain

    Hi all
    I have a customer using Windows 2000 domain with many user accounts and file share service.
    Now they want to use a new Windows 2012 domain without upgrade from old 2000 domain due to some hidden problem.
    Customer requested to keep user name, password, uid for existing file share access.
    May I know any tools for migrate user account from Windows 2000 domain to Windows 2012 domain?
    thx
    Q K

    Hi,
    Can you please confirm your requirement, that is you will be using a new Windows 2012 domain with only the user accounts from Windows 2000 domain. 
    If the above text matches your requirement, I would suggest you the following steps,
    1. You can use CSVDE - command line tool to export the AD user information as CSV file from  Windows 2000 domain,
    http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/data-center/simplify-admin-tasks-by-exporting-active-directory-data-with-csvde/
    2. Then, you can import the CSV file with required user attributes (domain details modified according to the target domain) to Windows 2012 domain using PowerShell as
    shown in the link given below,

  • Nothing happens when I press File/New Tab. Under Tools/Options/Tabs I have checked 'open windows in a new tab instead' and 'always show tab bar.' Pressing File/New Window does open a new window. How can I get new tabs to open? That's how I like to work.

    I don't have anymore details to add!

    i got a new lenovo desktop windows 8.1,installed itunes and synced my iphone 4 no problems. then i imported a cd of songs which showed up in recently added but not in main library ,therefore it did not sync to the iphone. how can i get new songs to appear in the main library and sync properly
    thanks
    john

    Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

    Take a look at Apple's document for authorizations -> iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization.
    You can deauthorize all computers from iTunes. All you have to do is click iTunes Store, click your account name in the upper right corner of iTunes, then deauthorize all.

    I can't get new version of itunes to install on Windows 7 64 bit computer. Receive message that reads insufficient privileges to access c:\program files\ipod\bin. I've followed several threads I've read here but nothing is working.

    For such situation, I'd suggest the following:
    1. Remove current installed office with the fix-it tool in
    KB2739501, and follow the "Remove Office manually" section to make sure there are no remaining files
    2. Either download a trial version of Office 2013 from
    http://office.microsoft.com/, or from
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/jj937170
    3. Reboot your computer in clean boot mode, and run setup again

  • Apple Users Can't Get Rid Of The New 'Super Cookies' That Track Private Web Browsing

    Further to the article "Apple Users Can't Get Rid Of The New ‘Super Cookies’ That Track Private Web Browsing" https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-users-cant-rid-super-180500863.html, is there a solution to resolve this security issue?
    Here's an excerpt from the above mentioned article;
    "Apple users are particularly vulnerable, as their devices do not have a function that lets users delete super cookies from their browsers.
    Most websites place what’s called a “cookie” on visitors’ computers, which is used to track them and record their preferences. It’s how websites can remember your password, for example. Like your web browsing history, they’re easy to delete. If you use your browser’s “private browsing” mode they’re never saved in the first place — and advertisers can't track you, and other computer users can't go back and see what you looked at.
    However, a flaw in a modern web security feature called “HTTP Strict Transport Security” (HSTS) allows websites to plant “super cookies” that can be used to track web users’ browsing habits even when private browsing is enabled.
    Here’s how it works.
    Security researcher Sam Greenhalgh writes that HSTS “allows a website to indicate that it should aways be accessed using a secure connection that encrypts your communication with the site.” This “flag” is then saved by your web browser, ensuring that any future visits to the website are secure. But this can also be abused, using this feature to store a unique number that can be used to track your web browser.
    And because HSTS carries over into private browsing, it means the “super cookie” can be used to track you whether you’re attempting to cover your steps or not.
    Greenhalgh says that Apple’s Safari web browser is especially vulnerable to the exploit. While clearing cookies on Mozilla’s Firefox, Google Chrome or Opera also erases HSTS flags, deleting the super cookies, there’s no way to do so on Safari on iOS devices.
    This means that if you’ve had super cookies placed on your iPad or iPhone, there’s effectively no way to get rid of them short of reformatting the entire machine."

    Hi all,
    I tried this with IOS 7.1.2 Safari on an iPad retina and the super cookie did not persist after web data and history was deleted.
    I also tried this with IOS 8.1.2 Safari on an iPhone 6, and the super cookie persisted even after deleting web history and website data.
    Evidently it was ok on 7.1.2 and broken on 8.1.2.

  • Can't get new photos added to existing iPhoto albums to sync with iPhone

    I tried talking about this in the iTunes area, but there was no response:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/20660036#20660036
    I thought I'd drop by the iPhone discussion area next.
    The problem in a nutshell is that I can't get new photos added to iPhoto albums to sync with my iPhone 5. I can even unselect the albums, sync, see the albums deleted on the iPhone, select the albums again, sync, see the albums recreated - but the recreated albums don't include the photos I added yesterday.
    I don't know if this is an iTunes 11 bug, an iPhoto bug or an iPhone bug.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    doug

    Yes, but which album will be empty?
    Anyway, as soon as I saw how creating albums locally on the iPhone actually worked I said to myself, "This is not reasonable" and as much as I dislike iPhoto decided to keep doing it there until that feature is improved.
    It seems like an obvious thing to improve. Then the albums can sync between the iPhone, iPhoto and other iOS devices more like "it just works" (which it doesn't do now).

  • TS1424 Just got a new computer with Windows 8. Can't get Itunes to download. Checked with clerk at Sam's Club who said that was her experience as well.

    Just got a new computer with Windows 8. Can't get Itunes to install. Checked with a clerk at Sam's Club who said it wouldn't install for her either.
    What do I need to do. Sent an email to Apple; but just got a computer generated response with no helpful advice.

    Do you get an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

    My Finder is going crazy.  Keep getting a message saying it quit unexpectedly and asking if I want to restore windows, but I can't get it to stop.  buttons don't work.

    Something else you can try.
    In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop. 
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Terminal.
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    You will need to do that after any updates.

  • Windows 2000 users abandoned?

    When I recently tried to buy an album I got a message box telling me to upgrade to v7.4.1 or later. This version is for XP or Vista. With Windows 2000, I am upgraded as far as I can go to v7.3.2.6. After several emails back and forth to iTunes support, they told me I would not be able to "complete an album" but that I should be able to buy an album. They gave me a number for Apple support which is never answered. The recording tells you to call back. What I have discovered is, as a Windows 2000 user, I can buy individual songs but cannot buy an album with a digital booklet, which usually I don't care about. I can buy any album if I want at the rate of 99 cents per song. Has anyone found a solution for this?

    The last version of iTunes to support Windows 2000 is 7.3
    Download here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/itunes732forwindows2000.html
    If your iPod will work with 7.3 you are OK, if it requires a higher version, then you will not be able to use it with iTunes unless you upgrage your OS.
    However there are some third party programs that you may be able to use provided you do not want to use the iTunes store or play DRM protected tracks from the store.
    Some examples;

  • ImageUltra Builder 5 - Can't get new computers to connect to repository

    Greetings.  I've recently (finally) upgraded from IUB 3 to IUB 5 and while our older PC's connect to the upgraded repository and image just fine, I can't get newer PC's to even grab an IP in the WinPE environment after booting off a disc (for network distribution).
    I know this is because I need to figure out how to get the latest NIC drivers (for like a T520) into the repository for IUB 5, but I've followed the instructions in the manual for it and no matter what I try I cannot get them loaded properly.
    I found another post in these forums that appeared to address this, but after following the (somewhat muddy) instructions there I still cannot get it working.
    So far I'm placing all my drivers for the T520 etc. into \repositoryshare\drvs_7pe\drivers\preboot\drivers AND \repositoryshare\drvs_7pe\wim\drivers\windows\system32.
    Note that these drivers worked just great on my IUB 3 boot discs.  So I guess I don't have the \repositoryshare\... folder structure setup correctly (?)
    Thanks for the help in advance!
