    The limitation is based on the ceiling, where PowerPC hardware was left-off

    the upgrade path and Intel-based Macs continue on. You are at the final version

    of iTunes, and final OS X system... Plus a few other last step versions in PPC.

     

    I've found a way around that is to get an earlier MacBook for about $250+

    with at least Snow Leopard 10.6.8. (MacBook era: 2006 to 2010) The last

    models in this series can run Mavericks 10.9.3. Not sure about later OS X.

     

    Or a MacBook Pro. Check specs at everymac.com or download free database

    application from mactracker.ca to compare numbers and check upgrade limits.

     

    Good luck!

    iTunes 10. Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger can Run iTunes 9, Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard Will Run iTunes 10, and Mac OS X 10.3 Panther Will Run iTunes 7.

     

    Hope That Helped.

     

    If you need the link for iTunes 10, here is is:

     

    iTunes 10.6.3

    Just to be clear:

     

    iTunes 10.6.3 is the last version of iTunes to support Mac computers with Mac OS X 10.5.8 or PowerPC processors. No further upgrade is possible on your G4 Mac, and that goes for the operating system as well.

     

    Nor can you sync your iPhone to it.
