This error message comes up whether it is connected to anything or not, and regardless of what I ask it to do. Sometimes it will play music for a day, other times the error message will show up after every few seconds of play Other forums I have searched archives on have seem to have no solutions. One person felt it came from a particular iTunes update. ( our version currently is 7.7.1) What is more drastic than 'restore' that i can try? thanks much, Del --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
