Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Bowtie 1.1.

What's new in this version:

Bowtie 1.1 is an official, non-beta release of Bowtie. It offers full compatibility with Mac OS X 10.5 (PPC/Intel) and 10.6 (Intel), with 64-bit support for Intel.

Features Added
- Brought back the ability to show the Bowlet when no sources are connected
- It is now possible to entirely disable the use of remote sources (which prevents the always-on Bowtie Butler from starting)
- Added "Check for Updates…" item to the menubar item and the Bowlet menu
- Added the capability to create platform-specific themes within the same bundle
- Bowtie themes can now be previewed using Quick Look
- Added the ability to hide the Bowlet when the current source is stopped
- Added new ways to access returned BTWrapper values (see Accessing Properties in a BTWrapper for more information)
- A full list of changes to the Theme API can be found here: Changes Since 1.0

Bugs Fixed
- Fixed a race condition that could make it impossible to quit iTunes when using third-party themes
- Fixed the display of the Default theme on Leopard
- Fixed a bug that could cause some sources (like iTunes) to show up twice in the source menu
- Preference to hide the dock icon now persists between version updates
- Fixed a bug that could prevent the Bowtie for iPhone App Store advertisement link from opening properly for non-US users
- May have fixed an intermittent bug that caused the Bowlet to be movable even when "Lock Position" was checked; however, I was unable to reproduce the bug in the first place
