iTunes 7.3.1 for Mac OS 10.3.9 problems!

Having a similar problem. Upgraded via Software update from iTunes 7.2 to 7.3.1 and have been unable to start iTunes at all. Program crashes after the license agreement. Very clean system - no 3rd party system mods. Wish Apple had version 7.2 available to download still.

I'm seeing this problem too, on a client's G4 533 MHz running OS 10.3.9. I've narrowed it down to something in the main Library folder--it's not in the user's folder, since it happens in a test account too. I'll keep you informed with what I find.

No problems here making the update to 7.3.1 on a 10.3.9 system.

But anyway, this site has many iTunes for Mac versions prior to 7.3.

I'm having problems with the latest update and the one before it. It hangs up all the time, so I have to force-quit it. It''s getting to be a real problem. Anybody else have this? Is there somewhere where I can report this? It doesn't seem to have a bug report form like Safari does.

Yeah, I've been having the same problems on 10.4.10 ever since I upgraded to 7.3. I'm sorry to hear that downgrading to 7.2 causes problems cause that was my only thought. Apple just needs to see how many people are having this problem and fix it I guess. It's slow, I get the spinning beach ball ever 5-10 seconds, and it crashes frequently.

The same problems for me. iTunes works fine for listening, but it tends to send my G5 into sleep mode when I try to watch any sort of video feed. It will allow me to download CD's for a short time, then again it puts my computer to sleep. I've knocked over a glass of wine or two banging on my desk in frustration. I think Apple needs to put its tech people back into its opperating and support systems now that the iphone is out so they do not lose the computer users who helped to build this company.

I'm having the same problem with the updating library, but what happens to me is that it wants to equalize the sound levels, then it sticks! Also, I can't go into info and rename a track. I will go into "application is not responding" crap. HELP SOMEONE!!!!!!!

PLEASE HELP - I have downloaded Itunes upgrade and can't even open it now - WHAT CAN I DO?

Here's how I solved the problem with iTunes crashing under 10.4.10.

As a poster above mentioned I reverted ShapeShifter to original settings,downloaded and reinstalled iTunes, then opened ShapeShifter and re-invoked the settings as before.

iTunes now works as intended, though I will admit it closed unexpectedly one. Since then everythings OK.

I'm assuming that anything that puts themes in other apps will do this, but that's just assumption.

same problems here. Updated to 7.3.1 from 7.3 on a os 10.4.10, as soon as i did this and restarted computer, it messed my system up. I am now looking at erasing my internal hard drive and reverting back to the old system.

As people have mentioned I think the problem comes from accessing the library files... would get through about 90 of update and freeze, only option to reboot, even then my mac wouldn't reboot properly.

Even now when I try and erase itunes off the hd, it won't delete saying that it is still in use (restarting comp. doesn't solve this problem), bizare. Wish I researched more feed back before assuming itunes would be cool, cause now I have an awesome that works like a piece of junk... thanks itunes!

this is ******** ! apple made a huge mistake and we are all forced here to try and figure out how to access our music we paid for I have been 2 weeks now with out being able to add my purchased music to iMovie, and no help in sight
