iTunes 7.3.2

[Angel]

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get the download for *iTunes 7.3.2*? Will
this *iTunes* work with the Windows 98SE? I tried the Apples website and the
one they have now is 7.4 and it is for XP and above. The reason I want to
know is because I need it for the class notes from the teacher. The teacher
does podcasts for his classes.
TIA
Angel

 

[John]

No version of iTunes runs on 98SE.

Of course this is increasingly common. Linux may offer a cheap
solution. PCs that run Linux as well as Win98 sometimes enable
Linux connection with devices built exclusively for XP and Vista.

You don't need iTunes to play podcasts ...

Roman,
Some podcasts do work without iTunes. Example: 1.1. Our teacher uses the
iTunes 7.3.2. I have tried his links without the iTunes and I could not get
it. Maybe his link was wrong, I will keep trying. I found the iTunes 7.3.2
by Googling it. The site said that Windows 2000 was required. The newer
version 7.4 requires XP or later.
Thanks,
Angel

Hi,
Well, the iTunes for podcasts is accessible through the Universities. It
is called iTunesU. The one they are using now is Version 7.4. I can't even
get the 7.3.2 without paying for it. The teacher said that the 7.3.2 was the
one to get. According to the site for iTunesU, it is not. 7.3.2 would not
work on this computer anyway. The teachers use iTunes to get the notes from
the classes to the students. These are the ones you need the iTunes to
access the notes. I guess they think all use the latest technology. When you
tell other students that you are still using the Windows 98SE, they look at
you with a ? on their faces. and you get a frown from them. Most have fried
several computers since 98SE. Mine is still going strong.
I spoke to the girl at the reference desk in the library at the
University, she said that maybe I could access the notes through the
Computer Room in the library. I may try that next week.
Today I was speaking to the city Fire Chief at a meeting. He told me that
his daughter went back to reinstalling XP. She had Vista and it always was
crashing, she hated Vista.
Thanks everyone,
Angel

If it works on Win2K, which is a bit dated, too, maybe there is a slight
chance it might work on Win98SE? Have you tried installing it? I've
done that sometimes, and, on some rare occasions, a program will install,
even though it didn't mention Win98SE as being "supported". Of course, a
lot of the time the installer just flat out balks, and says "No way, Jose!".
However, if you're planning on trying this, you probably should have a good
and recent system backup, just in case it messes up. I use a backup USB
2.0 hard drive enclosure (containing an identical IDE hard disk) for this
kind of work.

Hi Bill,
I usually use the backup that came with the computer (Drive Image) to
backup the computer about every week or so. I don't have USB 2.0. The only
have (2) 1.1 USB ports. I would have to get the USB 2.0 port for it and the
EHD. I would have to get my grandson put it in for me. He is good at things
with the computers. I have too much electricity in my own system, I would be
afraid that I would fry the motherboard. Of course, I know the precautions.
The 7.3.2 iTunes as I understand it is the old one, some companies are using
it for their music now and ask for a yearly fee to use it. The one the
University uses now is free and it is 7.4 under iTunesU. When I read about
it, you need XP or Vista to use it. I will try to find out more from the
University Computer Room that is located in the Library Building. I had also
put out a question to the Technical dept. at the University concerning this
question about using an older version on 98SE to get the notes. I do not
want to have to buy a new computer just for classes. If I was going for a
diploma, I would probably do it. I am auditing the classes. This does not
warrant the expense of a new computer. I am enjoying the classes. I learn
something new almost everyday.

The real question is - where is he distributing his content? If it's
only available from the Apple iTunes web site, it's iTunes only. If
it's available from another web site, via RSS or some other vehicle,
you should be able to download the content and access it with programs
that work on Windows 98.

What is the URI for his content/class notes?

Oops. Googled for iTunesU. It's the Apple web site!
iTunes only!

You're out of luck.

Working with the folks at the University library is your best bet at
this point.

Vince,
When I tried his link it took me to the download page from Apple. It
wanted you to download a later version. 7.4.
Today I got an email from the help desk at the University with a link to
download 7.3.2. I tried the link and it would not download that version. The
link is:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/29621&vid=44272&mode=inf
Maybe you can try to find out if it will work. It took me to a page and
would not even try to download.
Thanks,
Angel

Tried that link, no luck, though it will show info back to version 4.1
[2003].

Are you downloading TO an iPod, or are you trying from your hard drive, or
directly from the NET?

How about these for 98SE:

http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/ - costs
http://www.98-drivers.com/ipod.html - MUST donate 5 dollars

Or how about WinAMP?

ALL require that you have an iPod [proprietary format]...

Interesting Discussion. MEB, do you know if it is possible to run your Ipod
songs through Windows 98 SE and has anyone successfully accomplished this
task. I tried myself a while back with my Ipod Mini but did not have any
success.

Dan, I don't know what you mean by "run your Ipod songs through Windows 98
SE" but you can use Xplay from www.mediafour.com to load mp3s on his nano on
his 98SE system. If by "Ipod songs" you mean "iTunes purchases" I don't
think they are playable on 98SE but I could be wrong. Good luck.

MEB,
I am not trying to download anything to the iTunes. I am trying to get
the notes that our professor downloads to iTunes. His podcasts of the
classes. You need the 7.3.2 version to get his notes. So that is as simple
as I can describe the problem. The Link that the dept. gave me won't work.
So I guess that the best I can do is try to get it up at the University. If
that does not work, then I am OOL! Oh, well, that's life!!

Okay, that was already understood.
What I was indirectly trying to show was that if one intends to attempt
iPod/iTunes usage in 9X/ME, one will likely need to use a *non-official*
program or pluggin during the attempt. Though the iPod can be used for
pretty much anything, i.e. from a mobile *hard drive* to a music/video
player [depending upon the hardware version/supported aspects], to provide
this in an *unsupported* OS like 9X apparently requires something other than
one of Apple's official versions.

Several parties on the NET are working on *pluggins* and/or programs to
allow such usage, but these will NEVER be official *Apple authorized* for
9X/ME as Apple never really intended such usage. Apple is also constantly
creating newer versions which apparently are NOT compatible with previous
versions. One could reasonably claim this is done to ensure Apple remains in
control of its products and software necessary to use them. One could also
raise claim that this may be an attempt to force iPod users to upgrade the
device. I have seen materials which claim Apple feels that four years [or
less] is the *life* of one of its devices.
That, of course, remains the major points of contention to the users of
Apple's products, be the user running 9X/ME or one of the officially
supported applications from Apple..

All I know about it is that you need iTunes to get the podcast notes.
The instructions say, that "after you download the iTunes Version 7.3.2,
then restart the computer. Use the link again. Once you arrive at the
Univesity's region of the iTunes network, navigate to the Arts and Sciences
icon, click on that. then click on the course of his that you want, then
click on the podcast you want, and then it should start for you."
When I used his link it did not work. When I typed his link in the
address bar it came up at the Apple website to download the Version 7.4.
The link I sent you was the link from the Help Desk of the library not
his.This was the link that they said to use to download the Version 7.3.2.

Security Concerns with Windows

4 years or less --- wow that makes Microsoft seem like a saint in comparison
with thier support of Windows 98 and 98 Second Edition from 1998/1999 until
July 11, 2006 which is really awesome on Microsoft's part in my opinion. Now
lest you think I am totally for Microsoft you must remember that I feel that
eliminating the 9x operating systems was Microsoft's major mistake and I know
Microsoft wanted to cut down on costs but with cutting down on costs
Microsoft allowed for hackers to attack their products more easily. I am
talking about how XP and even Vista which are NT (New Technology) based the
business source code as compared to the 9x consumer source code of 98 and 98
Second Edition. The surface attack area is much greater in these current NT
products because they provide many more opportunities of attack. Yes, Vista
is much more secure than XP but also is currently less backwards compatible
than XP. Yes, Vista has 256 bit cipher strength in Internet Explorer which
not even XP Professional has currently. You can just go to the help and
about tab to prove this fact that the cipher strength of IE 6 and 7 in
Windows XP Professional is still only 128 bit compared to 256 bit cipher
strength. I was really worried and freaked out before because it was so
scary to have someone hack or steal my password somehow through 128 bit
encryption of webmail.aps.edu and my email of weiser_dan@aps.edu. It was
also scary to have someone or many people --- I don't know --- hack through
my home computer which is connected via an ethernet wire so it is not
wireless and has full stealth status of at least over 1000 ports according to
the Shields Up Test at grc.com. This is really crazy since I am really
careful to read emails in plain texts, not open up attachments, use AVG
antivirus full scans frequently and it updates daily automatically as well as
using the protections of Spybot Search and Destroy and SpywareBlaster from
Majorgeeks.com. I think the person was able to take advantage of
vulnerability(ies) in Cisco VPN access which allowed me to acess the APS
(Albuquerque Public School) network at home and which I had been granted full
access from by Ken Cole who is the Director of Technology at APS schools.
Anyway, it seems the hack happened through the vulnerabilities in VPN
(Virtual Private Networking) access and the Department of Homeland security
website has mentioned some current vulnerabilites with Cisco VPN access that
may have been patched by now. I am an email subscriber now to the us-cert
site.

Excuse this, but this thread was splitting apart, so I cut and pasted from
your other answer to this one.

Again, understood. So as you were advised, if its on the Apple iTunes site
as a pod cast, either you find some software to access it or you will have
to access it from some other computer.

Right, and there lay the problem. If you had an iPod then this discussion
would be leading in a different direction.

|
| From the NET, I guess.

Right, and off of Apple's own site apparently.

|
| What is *an iPod [proprietary format]*

Hmm, think of it like a picture [bmp, gif, jpg, wmf, etc.], or sound [wav,
mp3, asf, ogg vorbis, aaif, etc.]. Each differing format requires a program
which supports that format.

Podcasts require something that can decrypt/interpret the format. Though
there are other *podcasts* [non-Apple formats] the ones you're trying to
access:

1. Are on an Apple forum/site.

2. Were created with Apple's software in its format.

2. And the site checks for iTunes on your computer.

How?
Here you need to think of something like Adobe Reader. When you access a
site with a PDF, the Reader is called via its BHO hook to access, decode,
and view the PDF. If you haven't installed Adobe Reader [or a program that
provides that function AND places a hook] then the site link errors. Your
only option is to download the PDF, and use some other local PDF viewing
program to open it.

Same holds true for iTunes/iPodCasts. IF [emphasis] it were possible to
access the podcast and download it to your computer, then you could use some
program [which supports that format] to view/listen to the teacher's
lecture. OR you have to search for some *player* which supports the
iPod/iTunes format, works in 98 AND could pass the site check [not likely].

Apparently though, as the intended podcasts are on Apple [or some
subsidiary], likely someone else would have to access the files and download
them for you since you will fail the installed iTunes\iPod software
installation check for the site. I checked iTunesU, and could find no public
*backdoor* area [even the xml page requires iTunes]. Or as you have
suggested, perhaps the school's library or computer area can be used to do
so..

If you could then tranfer that downloaded lecture/class notes to some
mobile storage device, you could possibly then use a non-official PodCast
viewer/player on your 98 system after loading on your hard drive.. however,
you may have another stumbling block: requires QuickTime [7.1.6], though
perhaps that has also been addressed within an unofficial application ...

Here's another one.

Anyway, seems we've come to a close on the issue. SOL
