[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1889417, member: 131855"] I saw your other thread about running two different versions of the OS on one Mac. The suggestion was to run the second OS in a virtual machine. See [URL='https://www.mac-forums.com/threads/running-2-os-xs-simultaneously-on-the-same-partition.366079/']Running 2 OS X’s Simultaneously on the Same Partition?[/URL] I'd apply the same logic to running two versions of iTunesRun the second version of iTunes in a virtual machine. Here's how I would approach things: 1. Install the most recent OS and the most recent version of iTunes onto the drive. 2. Create a virtual machine and install the older Mac OS and older iTunes into that. 3. You can put your iTunes library on an external drive and direct both copies of iTunes to the same drive. That way you don't have to have two copies of your music library. I haven't tried this last step personally but I'm 99% sure it works. [/QUOTE]
