Apple to stop iTunes Store access for first-gen Apple TV, Windows XP, Vista

Life
The first generation Apple TV is on the way out.

27 February 2018

Tech companies (especially Apple) want us to use the latest products the company has to offer. They want to make money from the sales, but they also develop and implement new technology that older devices can’t support at all (or can’t support it in a way that’s acceptable to the user). Eventually, each product’s time runs out, as is now the case with the first-generation Apple TV.

Apple has released a support document that states that the first-generation Apple TV will not be able to access the iTunes Store from 25 May. To access the iTunes Store, you need a second-generation or later Apple TV.

The document also says that users of Windows XP and Windows Vista will not be able to use the latest version of iTunes. Older versions of iTunes will still work, but Apple will not offer any support, and you won’t be able to buy anything, nor will you be able to redownload previous purchases.

In order to be able to make and redownload purchases, you need a PC running Windows7 or later, and the latest version of iTunes.
