I had the same problem with iTunes 4 from my Panther intallation that did not get updated through the software updater on my iBook 300MHz. iTunes 7.7.1 is the newest you can run under Panther. I found it somewhere on the net (think it was called OldApps), but it was not available from Apple. However the itunes store does not work as it will just tell you to update to iTunes 10, even if it is impossible, and there is no "decline" button to get to use the content in the iTunes Store with an older version of iTunes. This means that suddenly podcasts are unavailable through iTunes.
I have been thinking about an upgrade to Tiger with XPostFacto because I would like to use the iBook as a kitchen machine for listening to podcasts and internet radio through iTunes and read the morning news on the web. But I am pondering if the benefits in compatibility is worth it. Anybody that knows how much slower Tiger is than Panther on an iBook? I have maxed up with 576 MB RAM and Panther is surprisingly fast. I am wondering if the iTunes store is usable in iTunes 8 or 9 or whatever is the newest possible version or if I would just get the same annoying "please update to the new and wonderful" "error message". (The other way is to have the podcasts on another machine on the same network and sharing the library. I can listen to podcasts in iTunes 7.7.1 in Panther from a shared library on my MacBook Pro with iTunes 10. But it would be nice to be able to use the iBook indipendantly.) -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
