iPod nano and OS X Tiger
I just got an iPod nano 6th generation, and now I'm trying to sync it with my computer. I upgraded iTunes to the latest version my Mac would run, iTunes 9.2.1. But then I got a message saying that my iPod had to be used with iTunes 10.0 or later. When I try downloading and installing iTunes 10, the installer says that the package can only be used with OS X 10.5 or later, and I'm running 10.4.11. I would normally just buy Leopard, but Apple doesn't sell it anymore! The earliest version they sell is Snow Leopard (Intel only, and I have PowerPC). Why has Apple stopped supporting it's loyal customers who bought their PowerPC Macs? But let's get back to this question's topic: my iPod nano. How can I sync it? Sure, I could just the FM radio for music, but it would be so much better to just have my own music and photos on it! But I think I just found something that gets my closer to running iTunes 10. I downloaded this app that shows you the contents of any package, and let's you make copies of them! I now have a copy of iTunes 10 on my desktop, and I've also installed the CoreFP package and the iTunes access package into their folders located in the system folder. Now iTunes is fully installed and ready to be run, right? Wrong. When I try to open iTunes, I get a message saying that it cannot be used with my version of OS X. What to change next, the Info.plist file? The Apple website used to say that OS X 10.4.11 was required to use iTunes 10, but they've updated it to say 10.5. Is there something I can change in either my System or Library folder, or in the contents of the iTunes application? Or, is there another program or another way to sync to my iPod nano? Please help.
