renegadeandy Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 hmm, wot rajprit suggested above works for me, itunes now opens etc - but crashes unexpectedly in a matter of seconds! Im on sse2 athlon 64. 10.4.7 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27441-itunes-7-official-problem-thread/page/11/#findComment-210825 Share on other sites More sharing options...
imrazor Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 iTunes is not (quite) working for me either, and I'm using an SSE3 Athlon 64. iTunes will play songs and videos, but it's impossible to edit the properties of the songs/videos in your collection. I also can not get into the iTunes preferences, nor can I create smart playlists. Here's an example from a video I imported: I've worked around this problem for now by using VLC-PPC (for some reason the x86 version crashes as soon as it starts playing.) Anybody else see a problem like this? I've installed multiple times from the same image. Sorry, I don't know which image it is - a friend gave me a burned DVD. The only other problem I appear to have is with Flash animations in Safari - sometimes they crash Safari, sometimes they just appear as a blur. Fortunately the Flash plugin for Firefox works great. EDIT: Tried the ppc trick, and the ppc version crashes immediately on launch Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27441-itunes-7-official-problem-thread/page/11/#findComment-210929 Share on other sites More sharing options...

laborman Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Download Itunes 7.0.4 installer from apple.com then open terminal and type following 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. This Method works fine for me i have sse2 Pentium 4 2.4ghz with HT Hey guys any method to make Intel Pro Wireless Card 2200bg For Notebooks work on Mac Jas 10.4.7 if yes then please email me on rajprit007@gmail.com WOW!!!!!

Nickhamm Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 iTunes 7 is working fine on Windows XP, however is having memory errors on MacOS 10.4.5 on the same machine. I have a Dell Inspiron laptop with ATI x300 graphics and a Pentium M 1.6GHz Processor (SSE2). The graphics have CI/Quartz with the koverg method and full resolution with Callisto 003. I have not tried the PPC method and have reinstalled MacOS completely since then because the new version QuickTime screwed with my system something fierce. I was editing movies in Final Cut Pro when system updates came up. I had done them before without problems (I knew what to stay away from) and after the system restarted I could not play back any video. MPEG, DVD, DV, H264, MPEG4, none of them would play. They all generated random errors. I could not playback video in Final Cut Pro or iMovie and the imported videos were solid green. Thts when I took all the files and burned them off on a CD and reinstalled MacOS. I am not touching updates again on this laptop unless some big breakthrough comes to fix all of this.

Invisible Ink Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 The PPC method works for me(for music playng, not tryed yet videos, ripping, burning synch iPod), but I experience some slowing on the whole system. I'll be back soon to iTunes 6 for sure. Does anybody knows (also if not solve) the reason of Universal iTunes code failure? Fake code for Cupertino's intel processors? And why some MAC users experience the same problem?

renegadeandy Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Yeah so now when i try to open itunes - it claims it cannot as the itunes library was made using a newer version of itunes. Currently trying to use 6.0.5, any ideas. Ok yes - did a little bit of research and deleted Ituneslibrary.data from the music folder - now my music , and itunes 6.0.5 works a charm. Woot.

imrazor Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 the problem of editing the properties of songs,BTW, can't open perference window... I found a 10.4.8 update for AMD/SSE3 that supposedly addresses this issue with AMD processors. Unfortunately I can't reveal exactly where I got it, but hopefully it'll fix my problem. Check the notes in some the 10.4.8 updates floating around and see if it mentions an iTunes preferences bug.

seleven Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 After chaning the Info.plist per quixos and converting the binary to PPC, I have it running. Some things do not work due to the lack of QE/CI on my Nvidia card, but MP3 playback across the network (SMB mount and a "share my music" server) is working. Machine specs in the sig. Thanks for the workaround everyone, I hope a patched version arrives soon (or I get the dosh to build a new machine ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27441-itunes-7-official-problem-thread/page/11/#findComment-212268 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed! Actually, applying the 10.4.7 update fixed the iTunes preferences bug. Must be something peculiar to the image we used. So grab an update and celebrate!

peekay_us Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 the cd /Applications ditto -arch ppc iTunes.app iTunesPPC.app method worked great for me. it runs really slow now though. i'm trying to convert a bunch of audiobooks from mp3 to m4a's and it's really slow. any ideas to speed it up?

GBK.Xscape Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 not at the time. its slow because it is running through rosetta and like all prgrams that run through rosetta, it will be slower than if ran native.

peekay_us Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 hmm, i suppose that's to be expected. it's a little off-topic but can anyone recommend a different program for mp3-->aac conversion. i think quicktime can do it, but i heard it won't keep the tag information, thanks, Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27441-itunes-7-official-problem-thread/page/11/#findComment-213115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
peekay_us Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 What ended up working for the mp3-->aac conversion was to use fast-user switching so that I could run iTunes 6 while still having iTunes 7 installed. The files are converting at 30x now instead of 1.5x. BTW, I'm on SSE2, JaS 10.4.6, ati x1600 graphics.

MacusAmicus Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Just a thought, but I'm using the default video drivers since mine isn't recognized by Mac. I'm curious if the "out of memory" complaint by iTunes might be about video memory?

GBK.Xscape Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 peekay_us i think has the best idea so far. he said to turn on fast user switching but leave itunes 6 on the side account and have itunes 7 on ur main and just do the converting in itunes 6 and then play them in itunes 7. great idea peekay_us.
