Hi Chris,
According to the specs that came with the iTunes 8 download, Tiger
should be supported in versions 10.4.9 and above. I'm now past
reading the Installer notes, so I went to the downloads page at:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
I'm pasting in the hardware and software requirements. Note that
these are broken out according to usage -- you don't need the video
RAM requirements or processor speeds unless you want to play HD-
quality videos, for example. And iTunes 8 is supported on the PowerPC
G5, G4, and G3 processors.
Here's the specs from the downloads web page (and they also should
have been displayed when you ran the installer):
Macintosh Hardware
Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, G4, or G3 processor
Playing videos purchased on the iTunes Store requires a Mac computer
with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or 1.0GHz PowerPC G4 or faster processor
Playing HD-quality videos purchased on the iTunes Store requires a
2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor
512MB of RAM; 1GB is required to play HD-quality videos
Playing videos also requires at least 16MB of video RAM
A broadband Internet connection is required to use the iTunes Store
An Apple combo drive or SuperDrive to create audio, MP3, or back-up
CDs; some non-Apple CD-RW recorders may also work.
An Apple SuperDrive to back up your library to DVDs; some non-Apple
DVD-RW drives may also work.
Macintosh Software
Mac OS X version 10.4.9 or later
QuickTime 7.5.5 or later
200MB of available disk space
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Esther

When you say check for all the specs, what specs do I need to meet
minimum?
Chris.
Chris,
The first time I brought up iTunes 8 and tried this I wasn't sure
it had been fixed. Try doing a VO-right from the source list past
the splitter. Now I get "Previous iTunes Store Page", "Next iTunes
Store Page", and "Home". When I press the "Home" button I'm taken
to the main page and can navigate through all the icons.
If that doesn't work, check that you meet the processor, memory,
and software specs. Some of those specs are only for playing high
definition movies. Also, make sure that you had the latest version
of QuickTime, etc. installed beforehand and matched all the
requirements for the iTunes 8 installation before you did it.
Cheers,
Esther

Erm, I don't mean to bust yul bubble, but unless the store only
works now in Leopard, I must say, it don't work. I just tried
navigating around the screen in ITunes 8 and reviewing my account
settings to set the store up myself, and it isn't letting me see
that window.
So, sorry. Isn't working here, unless you know something I don't.
Chris.
