Should I call with the new fail iPhone 4? lol

No it's not US only.
Did you speak with a *Product Specialist* ?
If so and they still said it's not available, ask to elevate this to *Customer Relations* (not customer service)..

Apple have had me since birth, but after 14 brief years of wonderful computing, I don't think even my grandpa can re-persuade me that apple cares

I hope that apple get the message

Here is a link to download iTunes 9.2.1...

I'd also like to add that I cant believe Apple is no longer supporting 10.4 with its new software and updates. The fact that they still support Windows XP is a slap in the face. My next computer was probably going to be a Windows machine anyway (for other reasons), but things like this make me feel more and more vindicated in not wanting to buy a Mac again.

Is it really a slap in the face? Supporting XP is easy. XP, Vista, and 7 where all 32bit Intel based OS's.

This is literally comparing Apples to oranges? Apple did not make this decision just to spite you? They told everyone, to a lot of fanfare, that they where moving away from PPC to Intel. They even delayed and seriously bloated Leopard so that they could still support PPC and Intel.

Snow Leopard was everyone's wake up call. No more universal binary, no more Rosetta, no more bloat to support a platform they told everyone they where leaving YEARS ago.

What is the average life expectancy of a laptop, and please be honest with yourself. Three years, four years for the really nice ones?

These things are now designed to be replaced every few years. There is some argument to be made on both sides as to whether this is a good thing or not.

But lets cut the hyperbole here, supporting PPC and Tiger would be like Apple supporting Windows 95 and Windows 98 with iTunes. That is the level of architectural difference we are talking about here.

Personally I think they should have ceased support for XP, but that is just me.

It's not a conspiracy, and Apple is not singling you out.

I feel really bad for those on PPC systems who can no longer get Leopard. For those persons, I would hope a call to Apple could at least get you the option to purchase Leopard.

For those on an Intel based Mac, still running Tiger, Apple has a very easy and actually cheaper upgrade solution then Microsoft has ever done, and you get a lot more for your money.

No one likes change apparently, and they like it even less when it feels forced on them.

I have found the changes I have had to make for Apple's products to be less problematic then the ones I have to make for Windows generally.

I of course use both platforms and will continue to do so.

Too bad iTunes is a 32 bit CARBON universal application.

Also too bad these forums are moderated so that when you call apple out on it's ******** you can't speak the truth.. Can't wait to sell this mac..

Can't wait to sell this mac

Me either.
Then hopefully, we won't have to put up with any of your posts.

I dunno

Also keep in mind that by not supporting Tiger with iTunes 10, they are keeping people with older Macs from being able to buy the latest iPods. One would think that would have crossed their minds.

After reading the other posts, all I can contribute is another "vote."

How careless of Apple to create a presumably arbitrary limitation with a free program (iTunes 10), that prevents people from buying a new iPod? Aren't the iPods/Pads/Phones what are making them so successful? At least an explanation from them is in order, if there is one, which I doubt, since we see Windows users have no lack of incentive to replace their older iPods.

Ya' ever think that they would like people to buy a new Mac with the new architecture and new OS?

I think if they discontinued/killed Tiger then XP should be dead as well. Tiger is their OWN OS. and lasted half as long as XP Also, Now I will be forced to buy a MacBook Pro (My own idea...its awesome isn't it?!) For College so that I may also Get to use my New iPod touch 4G when I buy it, as well as I can run Windows on it, iPods is what makes Apple their money. I think if they made 10 the last for tiger you can at least get iOS 4.1 and 4.1.1 etc until 4.2 OS, But since I will get the macbook won't that mean that if Snow Leopard becomes obsolete I can still update to the new OS since MacBooks are pretty stable.
