As operating systems evolve, so do the applications that can run on them. A clear proof is found in the applications that every time I rethey want more current versions of iOS to be able to function correctly and offer all the functions for which it is programmed.
But not only mobile applications are affected, since we also find it in desktop applications such as iTunes, the application with which we have access to the Apple music store in addition to allowing us to make backup copies of our devices. As of May 25, access to the iTunes Store will no longer be available on computers managed by Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Esto it does not mean that the application stops working completely, Since we will be able to continue using it to make backup copies of our device, what we will not be able to do is access the iTunes Store, due to the new security measures that both Apple and Microsoft have implemented, which will force us to Access this store directly from our device or through our smartphone, as it seems that Apple wants us to do since it launched iOS 11.
As of May 25, the oldest version of Windows fully compatible with iTunes will be Windows 7, so we are going to have to think about renewing our device or trying to update the operating system to Windows 7, something that can be quite feasible, taking into account that the requirements of Windows Vista are much higher than those we may need in Windows 7.
But these security measures not only affect computers with Windows XP and Vista, they also first-generation Apple TVs will also be affected, as we announced a few days ago, so that we will only be able to access the Apple store for Apple TV from the second generation for the same reason as with Windows Vista.
