Hey guys,
My girlfriend bought me an iPod shuffle for my birthday. This is causing me so much headache it's unreal:)

I have a G4 Powerbook that runs on Mac OS X 10.4. The iTunes I have is version 4.9. When I plug the shuffle in, a dialogue box tells me I need iTunes 7.2 or higher. The latest version of iTunes isn't compatible with my system. Does anyone know where I can find a version that does work? I've tried downloading a few different versions of 7.2 to no avail. Where can I find one that will install and work? Any help would be appreciated. She's gonna kill me if I don't use that shuffle! Best,
Ebbi

Thanks, so far that's been really helpful.

In the iTunes specs, it says I need Quicktime 7.5.5. This will not work on the OS that I just downloaded. Any suggestions? Ta,
Ebbi

Quicktime comes bundled with iTunes, so if the iTunes requirements state 10.4.10, then it shouldn't be a problem.

Quicktime 7.6 which is newer works with 10.4.10.

Just installed the latest iTunes. When I opened it, it said that I need Quicktime 7.3.1. Can I be a pain in the **** and ask for a link to it please? :D
