Hey guys,
So I decided to put my old Quicksilver G4 to good use and set it up as a syncing machine for my old 20GB iPod With Click Wheel. The only problem is it will not show up in iTunes. I managed to fine iTunes 6.0.5 online, the last version with Jaguar support and although the iPod mounts as a hard drive on the desktop it simply doesn't show up or even open iTunes.
It mounts perfectly fine on my 21.5'' iMac and I have tried switch it between "disk use disabled and enabled" to no avail. I also checked compatibility of the iPod and it supports anything higher than Mac OS X 10.1 Puma, so even an OS as old as Jaguar shouldn't be the issue. I've tried the two USB's on my Studio display as well as the two USB's on the back of the G4 tower and it still does the same thing, I'm so confused.
I'm pretty good when it comes to Mac's, but this has me stumped.
Another useful feature of the G4 is that is also the only Mac in my house what can run my Universities email exchange system. For whatever reason Outlook 2011:Mac and Entourage 2008 do not work on my new iMac, but the 2004 edition connects fine to my Universities exchange LOL, of course this is on PowerPC, so it has its uses still.
Help much appreciated.
