Upgrading from 10.4.11 so I can download newer versions of iTunes

I swear by, and at Apple! I have been limited to dial-up in my area until just a month ago, now I find myself exiled back to the dark ages. Trying to use my iPod again but I need to have at least iTunes 7.4, which I'm told (by Apple) that I need to upgrade to Leopard- which is no longer available! Working on a non-Intel processor, I can't upgrade to Snow Leopard. I feel I am once again hosed and shunned by Apple. What are my options please?

BDAqua had me confused by that quote until I read http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13103593#13103593
I see you also asked:
I'm running OS10.4.11 and would like to install Leopard.
Technically you'll need a CPU >867 MHz to do that. Some have done it on your model computer but I think it was just to prove a point.
Any other improvements I need to consider for near future?
More RAM.
By the time you buy more RAM, possibly a CPU upgrade, and USB2 card you're probably talking just a newer used computer. I see G4 MDD models locally for $250.
P.S. I carried on in BDAqua's style of answering your question in the other thread here. You asked a fairly open-ended question there and it really merited starting your own topic on the upgrade question. If we have too many sub-threads going in one topic started by another poster it gets confusing for all.

  • Downloaded new version of itunes, did a sync on my ipod and now music from my external drive is missing?  Help

    Downloaded new version of itunes, and then subsequently performed a sync on my ipod nano as I had purchased a new song from itunes store.  I now only have 25 songs on my ipod as it removed all of my other music.  My music is stored on an external drive.  I downloaded the music there from cd's that I own.  Can anyone help me fix this.  I am going on holidays soon and want to have my ipod loaded with music for the trip.  Thanks

    hi mike,
    First of all, your music is not gone. Its there, I promise. Second of all, you need to always make sure you backup your music elsewhere because funky things happen and computers do take nosedives.
    Ok, go into File on the iTunes Task bar and click on add folder to library. Your music files should be under my documents>my music. Let me know how it goes...

  • Do i need to upgrade my operating system in order to use a newer version of itunes?

    I am a bit frustrated.  I got a message on my iPod that I needed to downloade a newer version of iTunes in order to sync my stuff from my Mac.  I procedded to download the neweer version of itunes (10.7) and then it indicated that I needed to have an Mac operating system of 10.6 or higher.  I would have to upgrade to Lion and then upgrade to Mountain Lion in order to get iTunes (10.7) to work.  It seems so expensive just to use itunes. 

    On need upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 then to Mountain Lion. Nothing in between. It's not that expensive.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
      1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
      2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
      3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
      4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
      5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
      6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
      7. Xserve (Early 2009)
    Are my applications compatible?
    See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
    Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
    See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

  • Downloaded new version of iTunes, more than half of library disappeared.  Can I get it back??

    We haven't used the iTouch in a few months, and it's probably close to a year since I've downloaded anything from the iTunes Store.  Today, when I opened iTunes on my computer it stated that a new version was available for download.  I downloaded it.  Now my library is 1/3 its normal size with only one playlist (used to be 3 of them).  Any suggestions for getting my library and playlists back?  Will syncing with the iTouch do the trick??  Thanks in advance!

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Why can't i download new versions of itunes on my PC?

    I can see from the amount of discussion on the net that this is a major problem and I have tried all the suggestions I can find (delete cookies, download Quicktime separately etc) but I am starting to get very frustrated as I can't get any music on my (now) 3 month old ipod. Plus I have just bought my son a touch and he can't figure it out either.
    Any suggestions?
