Hi to all and thanks for keeping this going as I too like Kris have an old G3 powerbook that I use as a clock/radio. 2 actually (1 running OS9 @ 300mhz, and 1 running OS10.3.9 @ 400mhz) as well as other G3's in my collection running their native software. As with Kris, none of these G3's, even the latest one running OS 10.4.11 will connect to any of the apple provided itunes radio stations. Which sadly for me is one of the main things we use these old machines for. When I click on the radio button it brings up the categories but when you click on the triangle to open the list, I get a notice that there is an error and to check my internet connection. The internet is working fine in all areas but this. Now on all of my G4's and G5 systems, the radio stations load up and play fine! Is the problem due to the older itunes software (If so is there a fix) or is this the end of this use (streaming audio radio) for these fine old machines? What we really loved was the great variety of stations that now is gone.
I do not have my computers networked together to share as they are in different locations. Also perhaps Dan can let me know what a smurf is as I suspect it is not tech talk as I am familiar with most mac models. Just not sure of all the "nicknames" as I assume this is. Thanks again for the information!
