I have a Windows Vista computer, and it used to have iTunes on it. Due to some problems I was having, I had to reinstall Windows Vista, which wiped out everything on my computer. The iTunes available for download right now is too new for my computer so I can't download it without Windows 7. I also don't have any backups or saved versions of my old iTunes. Is there a way to download an older version that is still compatible with Windows Vista?
iTunes 12.1.2 is the last version to work with Windows Vista* - direct links to the installers as follows:
The third of these - which is actually the 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer - should be used if you get a warning about video card incompatibility when you install the standard 64-bit version, but also may resolve issues with playback, QuickTime compatibility, and problems with some third-party applications (including Outlook).
* acknowledging that all versions of iTunes since 11.1.5 have had a problem with Buffer Overflow / Data Execution Prevention errors in Vista.
Turingtest2's user tip on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates includes links to all previous versions from 11.4 to 12.2.1 - these are to the installers as stored in Apple's servers, so may be more reliable than anything stored on third-party sites.
If you can not make it work:
I am not confident that this and other such sites can be trusted, but sometimes there is no alternative.
Thank you. Learned some more, grat, have a good day.
