StarForge Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I can confirm things are working at this end too. JaS 10.4.7, SSE3, QuickTime 7.1.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethParker Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I'm on SSE2 and can't run it native or through Rosetta. I googled the problem and it looks like it's something that's happened on older releases of itunes and most problems were fixed by reinstalling, no such luck here.

JaS Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Ok well for me how I got the new iTunes working was like this. I used AppZapper to remove itunes from my system,then installed iTunes from the iTunes.pkg on the install dvd. Next I installed the iTunes 7 update,and thats it.

GarethParker Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I followed JaS's steps and it once again throws up the same error, still not working here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsod Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I followed JaS's steps and it once again throws up the same error, still not working here. yea i think its a SSE2 problem.... damn it i just updated my hard drive and memory in my laptop too and i should have just gotten a new one...

Tha_Rappa Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I just tried it the same way, and still cant get it going...i guess i'll stick the the 6.0x on the OSX disc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethParker Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Is there any way to fool itunes into thinking that we have SSE3 instead of SSE2? I'm not sure if this is related but it seems that now only system sounds are working (such as the noise when changing volume...but sounds in other programs aren't playing, could be a QT issue or a itunes issue? Could just be my computer being silly...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaS Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 so you guys are thinking that they added some now sse3 checks into itunes? how did you come to that conclusion ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethParker Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Looking around on comments made so far it only seems to be people with SEE3 who have been able to run it. If I'm wrong then someone please correct me, but I'm yet to hear of anything running it on a SEE2 processor. (I'm hoping that we're wrong on this, as I don't want to have to buy a new processor just to run itunes7!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I agree. There must be an SSE3 checker in iTunes 7. It works fine for me on my Celeron D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarForge Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I wonder how iTunes will run on the 'ol eMac... I'll give it a go later on today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quixos Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 just want to say again, for those now tuning in. i'm on 10.4.7, manually updated from 10.4.4, P4 3.0Ghz SSE2 CPU i've converted iTunes 7 to PPC, it opens and works as fast in Rosetta, as iTunes 6 does native. CoverFlow animations are smooth and as fast as the standalone CoverFlow app native. don't know why the conversion isn't working for some people. perhaps it doesn't work for some reason if they are SSE3, but will work on SSE2? ditto -arch ppc iTunes.app iTunesPPC.app a few more people try this. not an optimal solution, but if it works for me, it will work for some others.

urig-herb Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 No problems here. There was a message that I'll need the new quicktime which I ignored (I still have qt 7.04). It's running great with the new coverflow effect. Right now it is "analyzing" my songs for gapless play which takes quite a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 so you guys are thinking that they added some now sse3 checks into itunes? how did you come to that conclusion ? That's nothing but a wild guess I made. I remember that Maxxuss said that the SSE3 emulator was not 100% complete, missing something like 2 instructions which are (were) never used anywhere in OS X and all known UB apps. Since most people here who are reporting that it works are native SSE3 users, I made the hypothesis that Apple has tweaked its compiler (or ASM routines in iTunes) to take advantage of one of those instructions.

velinn Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 If anyone is still having problems getting it running under Rosetta on an SSE2 machine, try this: In a terminal cd into /Applications then run the ditto command found earlier in the thread. ditto -arch ppc iTunes.app iTunesPPC.app If you just try to open iTunesPPC you'll get an error, but if you Right Click -> Show Contents -> Contents -> MacOS and then double click iTunes it'll open a terminal and iTunes will launch properly under Rosetta. I tried issuing the exact same command from a terminal that is issued when doing the above and it gave me an error. So for now you have to use that long-ish method to get it working. I'll probably stick with 6 until the SSE2 issue is worked out. 7 does look pretty nice, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarForge Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hmm seems ok here so far, but mind you its still 'Determining Gapless Playback Information' so maybe it'll choke hehe. I've not got the latest Quicktime either... might get it if things work fine past this stage. Just letting everyone know I updated Quicktime to 7.1.3 and things are still good... don't know if this info helps anyone who's having problems tho...

Cruisin Aruban Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Quixos, tried that here with SSE2. I get the following error: "You cannot open the application "iTunesPPC" because it is not supported on this system." just want to say again, for those now tuning in. i'm on 10.4.7, manually updated from 10.4.4, P4 3.0Ghz SSE2 CPU i've converted iTunes 7 to PPC, it opens and works as fast in Rosetta, as iTunes 6 does native.

GarethParker Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 thanks velinn! It's now working, although I can't see this being the only solution to getting iTunes to work. I guess time and the work of all the fantastic people will tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart86 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Jesus people, let's just drag this thing out a few hundred posts so we don't find the issue out too quickly. How about listing CHIPSET, PROCESSOR, and VIDEO CARD in your "ohh, mine doesn't work either" posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afraydo Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 My iTunes would not even show up in the software update screen, I had to manually go and download it. Even after 7.1.3 upgrade I get the same error. Hopefully a patch will be out soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
