iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
Hi Pamela,
When is the last time you tried it from 10.4.11?
If this is the itunes Store, I think it requires at least 10.6.8, maybe 10.7.x, & newer iTunes & Quicktime.
So we know more about it...
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware> and report this upto but not including the Serial#...

I bought the computer new, but I think it was an old operating system... the iTunes has never worked. I am trying to sign in on the store tab to load my music from my apple account, but it also doesnt recognize my ipod touch for itunes... only the photo app. It will automatically prompt to download photos off the itouch but not the itunes off it. info you requested:

You'd also want to upgrade the RAM to the Max 2 GB, which is still too little RAM in my opinion...

sorry, I am not a computer person... Could I get a very simple answer to 'should I just use itunes on my old laptop or is there a way to make it work on this computer today without buying anything?' I'm not interested in purchasing anything else, just wondering if I can get it to work on this computer or if I am wasting time. I use home computer to surf net and do taxes so if its going to get complicated I will just live with itunes on my old laptop when I need it. I have learned to admit incompetence with updating anything computer... thanks for the assistance !
10.4.11 can't connect to the iTunes Store, what OS is on the old Laptop?
itunes not working on 10.4.11?
