Older powerbook, trying to get it up to snuff for new ipod

First, thanks in advance for your help.
I am trying to run a new ipod Classic on my G4 Powerbook with the following specs:
OS: Mac OS X 10.3.9
Hardware Overview:
Machine Model: PowerBook G4 15", CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1), Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.33 GHz, L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 K, Memory 256 MB, Bus Speed:167 MHz
I am aware (now) that I need 10.4.8 or higher (I know it's written on the box...). I have read through roughly 25 pages of posts and could not find the answer to my questions. Here they are:
How do I upgrade my current OS to 10.4.8 or higher given my hardware limitations (add more RAM? Possible even?)?
- I saw that Leopard was too much for my modest Powerbook, but think maybe Tiger will get me there. Am I wrong to think that?
Can I use Tiger on this CPU? Will it run 10.4.8 or higher? How do I find and install Tiger as I cannot buy it anymore from the online store, only Leopard is available.
Do I need a new computer to run my iPod, or does someone here have a suggestion as to what I could possibly do short of buying a whole new CPU for my new iPod to connect with?
Again, thanks very much for your help, and I hope there are some options available to me.
Best regards,
NSS

There's nothing wrong with your question. There are just no great answers.
OS10.4.x Tiger would be fine for you, much better with 1-2GB of RAM. However, it's hard to find for sale now commercially. I have no idea if the license allows a private party to sell you their old copy or not. Maybe in a year, some of the used equipment vendors will have it, but even then, the price will probably be so close to just buying Leopard, you may as well do that. Especially if you upgrade RAM.
As a practical matter, I would suggest upgrading RAM to 1 or 2 GB and buying Leopard OS10.5.x. Unless you don't have a DVD drive, or are tied to using Classic. Leopard doesn't run Classic.

It seems to be working now, so you can try again to install the extension.

I'm trying to get itunes up and running on new computer. I have lots of music I've purchased from Itunes...and they show in my account. But only some of them have the cloud next to them. The rest say "downloaded" and it won't let me download them again.

I believe that all audiobooks are supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time only download. This is the link for contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
- Then try on another computer

Some people have reported success with opening Photoshop before opening AI. Some how the aips are registered there and are then available to work in AI.

I am trying to get the developer tools onto a new Macbook Pro

I am trying to get the developer tools onto a new Macbook Pro and the developer site is not working. How can I get iOS developer and Xcode?

X Code is in the Mac App Store

Anything from the developer site you will need to wait for.

I have tried to get it to remove autocomplete for certain sites. I have removed history and done individual deletes and autocomplete for all sites comes back every time. Please help!

I have tried to get it to remove autocomplete for certain sites. I tried to remove them all. I tried deleting individual entries. It will not remove autocomplete select unless you just tell it not to show autocomplete.

Are you talking about the location bar?
Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks and those entries can't be removed from the location bar drop down list with the Delete key.<br />
You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.<br />
That will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.<br />

I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

They can't. Which came first - the chicken or the egg? Actually, that's a bad comparison but a sync must come first.
The library is actually part of iTunes and it contains everything. iTunes is then configured so that you (or they) determine which portion of everything will be synced to each iPod (identified by a unique name, see below for an example of an iPod and an iPad). iTunes can't make that decision until AFTER it knows which iPods exist.
By the way, I (you, they) can very easily change the name of each device to whatever I (you, they) wish to call it.

To restore app data, the apps have to be in the iTunes library of the computer on which you do the restore. The iPod ackup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
To redownload iTunes purchases see:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Either sync it from your iTunes library or redownload it directly to the iPod by:

Oh, the irony of referring to yourself as "myklthebrain". Make an appointment, at the nearest Apple store, with an Apple Genius, and hope that (s)he can sort it out.

Oh no! I'm sorry to see there's a lot of confusion here and data shared, x-rayDon. We can definitely work to fix. This happens when two devices share the same Apple ID, so she will need to reset hers. She can do so by assessing this link Apple - My Apple ID. You will need to decide who will keep the account if want separate Apple IDs since purchases cannot be shared unless you do Family Sharing.
