Itunes 10 and Tiger 10.4.11

Is there any type of fix coming for 10.4.11 or TIGER in general? I want to update my ipod to iOS 4.1 but is there no solution like creating an installer that can install or give you the ipsw and make it able to restore using that last iTunes 9

Hey everyone,

I just registered so I too could throw in a few words. Complete and total BS... Support for the cryptic and outdated windows XP, but no support for a mac operating systems that is less than half as old. This must be some kind of joke. I've had it up to here with crapple. Even if I wanted to update to 10.5 (which I don't), I couldn't possibly do it because Leopard isn't sold any more. And the icing on the cake is I've just uninstalled itunes because I was having some problems with my ipod, and I can't find a place to download any itunes compatible with 10.4.11 anywhere on the apple site. I could probably find 8.X somewhere and slowly update it, but come on. I might as well go pick up a used PC with XP for $100 off craigslist, that way I will certainly be garunteed software support from apple for many years to come. Yikes!

Sure it is. It is available by calling the Apple store (1-800-MY-APPLE (800-692-7753)) and asking for it. It is not available thru the online store.

Look, I know that my Mac is really old (circa 2002). That said, my OS is only a few years old and there is nothing hardware-wise that should prevent me from running a music player / song organization tool!

Clearly Apple doesn't want to support their existing customers. Maybe this is why over 90% of the world is running a Microsoft OS.

You can't run any version of iTunes at all?

There is currently only one version(10.0) of iTunes available for download(update/web) which does not support Mac OS X, 10.4.11

Chris,

Firstly thank you for your comment. I really want to update my G4+G5's running 10.4.11 efficiently and without any problems to Leopard(?!?). And for only $200. If you want to provide me with some assistance, can you give me a link to download itunes 9.x.x for my old outdated operating system?

Like I said before, might as well upgrade to XP. I could probably get a pc desktop running windows for cheaper than Leopard.

Don't know where you got your system requirements, but the iTunes 10 download page says 10.5 or later

http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

There is currently only one version(10.0) of iTunes available for download(update/web)

This is incorrect.
Even on the main iTunes page, there is a link for G3 (version 8.2.1) users.
And here is a bunch of previous versions -> http://support.apple.com/downloads/#itunes

there which does not support Mac OS X, 10.4.11

My response was to PBDW who was saying that his (8 year old computer with "few years old OS") cannot run a "music player / song organization tool".
This is not correct.

this is sad news...

i wanted to add myself to the list of people not happy that i can't have itunes 10 on my computer. i hope this won't affect any future OS updates on my iphone 3GS.

So the iPod touch 4th gen I preordered requires iTunes 10 to update. Spending $169 to upgrade an OS in order to run free software is out of the question. Ether I switch my library to winXP or cancel my iPod touch order. I decided to switch to XP. Apple had me for 3 years, this laptop being my first mac. If their OS's have a 3 year life-cycle then I can't see myself buying another mac. I'm very disappointed.

At least with the the $169 Snow Leopard box set you not only get the latest OS, but you also get the updated iLife and iWork packages: iPhoto ’09, iMovie ’09, GarageBand ’09, iWeb ’09, iDVD, Pages ’09, Numbers ’09, and Keynote ’09. That's much more reasonable than any Windows update you could get.
And I'd much rather work on the Mac than a PC any day.

Sounds like you already have a PC though so the "switch over" wouldn't cost you anything to use iTunes on your PC. If you ever need to update your Windows however, that's something to consider.

Just my thoughts.

The initial sales people don't always know what is up.
Call and ask to speak with a *Product Specialist*.
