Hey folks

I just purchased a 4th generation iPod Touch and have discovered to my horror it doesn't run with my MacBook beacuse it requires osx 10.5 or higher....

To me this seems ridiculous as my MacBook isn't really that old at all and is still a fine machine.

Anyways, I'm wondering what the cheapest way to sort out a version of osx that will work with my ipod is. I don't really wanna part ways with $129 for that mac box thing - I just want my iPod to synch to itunes!

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Snow leopard is 29 bucks..
 
But wait until tomorrow in case Apple announces the price for 10.7. It might be worth getting depending on the cost and your needs.

Edit: You apparently need to buy 10.6 before you can upgrade to 10.7.
