G3 Mac 10.4.11 iTunes v8.2.1 cannot access iTunes Store any longer.

My brother-in-law writes:


I am running a G3 Mac and a 10.4.11 operating system. My iTunes v8.2.1is the most recent for G3s and I cannot, I repeat, I cannot run a version any higher. I have been running the 8.2.1 version successfully for many months since downloading 8.2.1. Now all of a sudden I cannot access your store.


When I click on iTunes Store on the left side of my iTunes window, I get a full page ad for downloading iTunes 10 and nothing else.


Can anyone help me with this one?

You can run iTunes 9.2.1 that is what you need for the iTunes store. i have 2 g3's (B&W) both 450mhz one a g3 450MHZ and #2 A 450MHZ G4 upgraded G3. as long as you have 512MB ram it should work. iTunes 9 says it needs a g4 but a 400+mhz g3 will work. any thing lower i do not know😕 but give it a try😉 you can alwas go back to iTunes V8.2.1🙂

Unless you know a trick I don't, iTunes 9.2.1 won't run on a system with a G3 processor. It may install - though the installer may refuse; it's been a long time since I had a G3 to test - but it won't launch. If you've found a way to get it going in a G3 system (not a system with a G4 processor upgrade) please provide details as to how you went about it.


Regards.
