OK, T am going to try using iTunes 7.7. Do I need to remove iTunes 4.2 first or will it overwrite it? If the former, is it just a matter of dragging the application to the trash?
Thanks for th help Zevoneer. I downloaded 7.7 and now it says his iPod can't be used because it needs 10.4.8 or higher. From the Wikipedia list you gave me (which I misread) I now think I should have stopped at 7.1. Can I install an older version? I suspect I'll have to get rid of 7.7 first?
