Jan 25, 2012 3:52 AM in response to Jesse Taylor2by Braby,To access the iTunes store you need at least version 10.0. of iTunes.
Unfortunately to run iTunes version 10.0 and above you need to have OSX10.5 (Leopard) installed on your
computer - 10.5.8 is also the last of the OSX family that will run on even the most recent of the PowerBook series. You may be able to source a full retail version of 10.5 but I'm afraid time has caught up with your PowerBook.....

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements

Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.
