The only reason your ipod wouldn't work because it has the latest updates installed on it. if you can put updates before November 2005 it should work fine.

Hi, I got my itunes back to 6.05 and had the same error message -- my ipod needs 7.0 to operate.
How do you get rid of the updates on the ipod?
I reformatted it, but still get the same error. Thanks.

Hi, I went through these steps, and even after reformatting and restoring factory settings on a system running 7.0, I still get the message "IPOD cannot be used because it requires ITunes V. 7.0 or later."
Do you have any more advice? Thanks

Try putting Linux on the system.... (just kidding)

the best place for you would be to call Apple or go to Apple Discussions Borads and see if someone knows the answers...

Good Luck

Okay, this is a highly unusual problem, and I'm pretty sure nothing posted here resembles it. I installed itunes 7 and hated it, so I followed the instructions listed in the above post (remove 7, install 6.05, delete current itunes library and rename the backed up version "Itunes Library.itl"), and now when I try to open itunes, I get the image of the old version but with black lines along the spaces that would outline the "album" view in 7, clicking on the window does nothing, and under the task manager it says that itunes is not responding. If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd really appreciate it. I can take a screenshot if that would help, but I don't really know how to post images. Thanks!

Ok, never mind- I reinstalled itunes 7 and the uninstalled it and reinstalled 6.05, followed the previous instructions again, and everything's all set, so I have no clue what that was. Thanks anyway for all the help on these pages.

Nice job.... I guess everyone needs to be an engineer when it comes to run iTunes on Windows

Here is how to roll back from itunes 7.0.3 to 7.0.2

Go to http://oldapps.com/download_iTunes_mac.php .

- Install 7.2 as an upgrade onto the hard drive. It will find the right places.
- It will ask you to close iTunes, it is then OK to do so.
- Do NOT uninstall 7.3.
-After install iTunes 7.2 will then be in your Applications folder. Don't open app yet.
-Go to User/Music folder and look in it. it should not have iTunes, or if there should be empty.
-Get the "was iTunes" folder from the Desktop and put back into User/Music/
-Rename it iTunes before or after moving it back.
-Now iTunes 7.2 shoud run just as before the 7.3 upgrade, and all file info should be there.
This provides a temporary fix without data loss until Apple fixes 7.3.

I'm having the same problem as lena, annie123, and scottdoc, when I run the installer it still says iTunes has 0 bytes and that there's nothing to install. I've followed all of the instructions on how to remove iTunes, but when I tried scottdoc's solution, "Instead, ctrl click and "Show package contents" and then find the iTunes.pkg inside" the installer tells me that it can't install because there's already a newer version. I searched my hard drive for anything iTunes related, but it looks like I've deleted everything.
Can anyone help?
