Thu, 04 Nov 2004 Apple iTunes locks out older versions

Macworld staff

Apple has activated previously-announced plans to close its Music Store to users of earlier versions of iTunes.

The company revealed its intent last month, when iTunes users accessing the store using older versions of the software were greeted by a message urging them to upgrade.

Last night Apple finalised the move, so that iTunes versions before 4.5 will no longer access the store.
