gthlm Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Works fine on mine. Running natively. I installed itunes and qt at the same time via software update. Still have the music store authorisation problem though...

centic Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Didn't feel like reading the thread, just wanted to report i was able to upgrade on my SSE3 Pentium D 3.2ghz with 1GB DDR2 ram no problem, no need to run in rosetta, nothing To be honest, I didn't know there was an issue till my friend started bitching about it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27441-itunes-7-official-problem-thread/page/6/#findComment-188054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperviper Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 definitely...we need a sse2 patch for itunes7 performance under rosetta is very poor (even with pentium4, 3ghz, 1gb ram) think that apple strikes more and more back Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27441-itunes-7-official-problem-thread/page/6/#findComment-188072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatal Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Does anybody know how I can revert back to the previous QT and iTunes? iTunes doesn't work like everyone else, and I lost WMV support in QT.

martin1976 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 think that apple strikes more and more back Honestly I don't think Apple gives a flying {censored} about people running OS X on systems with SSE2 processing. It's more about this new version of iTunes being more advanced and Apple asuming that people simply won't have any problems running it on "iTunes ready" systems...

johnnydtran Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 JaS or anyone that knows, what version of quicktime is provided in the 10.4.6 JaS iso? I upgraded to 7.1.3 QT and its not working, it seems like my Adium messenger sounds are gone due to the QT upgrade. I need to downgrade to my other, working version of QT. im trying to downgrade 7.1.3 to 7.0.4, cant seen to install 0.4 after uninstalling 1.3 (0.4 installation says "cannot install there is a later version installed") through AppZapper, any suggestions?

~LLama Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Since this thread is getting really long... I just thought I would attempt to summarize what's comtained (sorry if I miss anything..) It appears that if you have an SSE3 cpu, intel or AMD most reports are that everything is A-O.K. QT 7.1.3 may or may not be required, there may be some problems viewing album covers, probably steming from QE/CI issues. But at least you can launch the app, play music, etc. And at least you know you ought to be able to upgrade without borking your system.. SSE2 guys... Well we're forked. The trick to making this work (it worked for me) is to make the app PPC only.. cd /Applications ditto -arch ppc iTunes.app iTunesPPC.app Then in finder, go to applications, rename iTunes.app to iTunesUniversal.app (or something) and rename iTunesPPC.app to iTunes.app. After that, right click on iTunes.app and Show Package Contents. Double click on Contents and open Info.plist with any decent text editor. Down towards the bottom you should see this key.. <key>LSRequiresNativeExecution</key> <true/> Change the <true/> to <false/>, and save the file. That SHOULD HOPEFULLY work.. The weird thing for me, was that it didn't work at first, but I didn't reboot, or do anything else, and then a few minutes after these changes accidentally clicked on iTunes in the dock and it launched. Don't ask me... I did try downloading and running the zip files posted on page 6 (i think) during the time between it not working and suddenly working, but that app didn't work for me... For me it's working now on an SSE2 Intel CPU, 768M of Ram, 10.4.6, QT 7.0.4.. Rosetta seems to make it slower (obviously), and the interface isn't exactly mind-blowing.. So if you have an SSE2 system, I probably wouldn't upgrade until there's a patch to allow it to run native. SSE3 guys should be OK but might want to re-read the thread for issues (i didn't pay as much attention to the SSE3 posts, blah to you guys!! Good Luck!! ~Steve EDIT: Just thought I'd let you icon guys know that with these steps my icon ceased being f-ed up with the no-smoking circle around it. P.S. Now, can anyone help me with my damn ALPS touchpad... For some reason the drivers posted by PHB don't work on my (and several other peoples) Dell Latitude D600...

domino Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Sorry if this has been mentioned before. For those that actually got this working and experiencing other problems, try removing/disabling 3rd party plug-ins and see if it cures the problems.

br0adband Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 For me it's working now on an SSE2 Intel CPU, 768M of Ram, 10.4.6, QT 7.0.4.. The fact that you're trying to use iTunes 7 with that older version of QuickTime should have something to do with it. There is no reason not to update to the latest version of QuickTime regardless of whatever iTunes is or isn't doing for you. For me, I got the memory issues as soon as I gave it a shot yesterday, spent some time trying to figure it out, then I just wiped OSX off my laptop totally and went back to Windows. I do like OSX, and I'll be reinstalling it a bit later on tonight because I still have much to learn if I'm going to start supporting it in my one-man consulting/repair biz, but I can't just sit there staring at it trying to figure out why iTunes isn't working. Under Windows I'm 100% productive 100% of the time. I'll be implementing some (if not all) of the methods mentioned in this thread and I'll report back on my results. bb Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27441-itunes-7-official-problem-thread/page/6/#findComment-188416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark.developer Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hey, Steve Spies Fellows I tried to run iTunes 7 after installing the QuickTime 7.1.3 still iTunes 7 doesn't worked. I am using Mac OSX86 10.4.7 patched by JaS. But as I read your post I got it, pal its a cool hack, I think what you actually did is changed the requirement of Original Mac from "true" to "false", am I right. If I am wrong then please advise!!
