The company says new “security changes” will prevent Windows XP or Vista PCs from using the iTunes Store, which means users won’t be able to make new purchases or redownload old purchases on these computers.

As for Apple TV first generation users, the same goes for this device, which is already an ‘obsolete’ Apple product. Users seeking iTunes access will have to upgrade to a newer model, such as Apple TV 2 or later. The first gen Apple TV debuted back in January 2007.
