iPod Touch Owners HELP!, by Richard on Nov 16, 2007 11:29:21 GMT 1, I want to buy an iPod touch and was about to click buy when I thought I should check that it is compatitble with my operating system...
Anyway, I have Mac OS X 10.3.9 and according to Apple website you need 10.4.10 or later.
How on earth can this be the case?! Surely I can use it on my operating system that was the newest version about 2 months or so ago?!
Help would be appreciated!

I do keep the system up to date and have latest iTunes etc. but it is only 10.3 not 10.4 as I have Panther and not whatever the new one is! I don't know, I imagine it will work but don't want to risk it unless I am 100% sure.

iPod Touch Owners HELP!, by Richard on Nov 16, 2007 14:15:09 GMT 1, I got my iBook in 2004 I think. 3 years old is not really old is it. You would expect an iPod touch to be compatible seeing as I am running the lates iTunes. Afterall, I thought the whole selling point of Apple's was that whatever you plugged in - it would work. Shot themselves in the fooot with that one as far as I'm concerned.
And I don't mind if you diss, I have lots more things in my life more important than upgrading an OS.

iPod Touch Owners HELP!, by Richard on Nov 16, 2007 14:33:27 GMT 1, I only have 10.3 so I can't get the 10.4 updates 
Seems like such I con that if I want to use the touch I will have to upgrade OS. Needless to say I will stick with my old iPod...I guess I can burn all my songs onto HD then use my sisters and copy them back over....hmmmm...

iPod Touch Owners HELP!, by streetgirl on Nov 17, 2007 0:15:22 GMT 1, Richard,
i understand your frustrations, but unfortunately with the pace of technology, things seem to be outdated the second you buy them. so 2-3 years is simply an eternity.
i love my itouch, and treated myself to one as I had still had my 1st generation ipod and it was on deaths door. it pained me a little when i purchased it knowing that they probably have the next 3 or 4 models of these already lined up and just waiting til the markets right.
hope you figure something out.
;D
Ps I run mine on Vista.
