[QUOTE="MikeM, post: 1218003, member: 39238"] Skimming the threads, I don't think I saw an answer to your 4th question about your iphone 3G being able to sync. If you get OSX 10.5 (Leopard) then (to the best of my knowlege) you should still be able to run the latest version of itunes which is required to sync iOS 4.x.x devices. If you ever upgrade your iphone to new hardware (Either on purpose or due to device failure / breakage), and Apple decides to drop support for Leopard in iTunes, then you will not be able to sync anymore and will need either an intel Mac or a Windows PC to be able to sync it. Just to ask a question. Do none of the programs you want to use work with Rosetta on your Intel Mac? Are they all OSX applications or are there OS9 apps you want to run in classic mode? If I understand right, classic mode was dropped in Leopard so you would need Tiger to run those which does not allow install of a current version of itunes so you would not be able to sync your iphone in that case. -MikeM [/QUOTE]
