Hi, Mac people.
Wow. My previous post in this "MacBook Pro" forum resulted in Terrific feedback.
THANKS very much for that, people.
I put this query in the "MacBook" forum... so far, 350 views, and Zero replies.
Ah, well...
I'm a PC guy, but that's irrelevant.
My 16-year-old son wants a Mac for Xmas,
so I found a used PowerBook G4 M8981LL/A for $300.
I'm just trying to verify that all of the software is up-to-date,
and all of the parts work.
I did the "Apple", "Software Update".
It updated iTunes, and I restarted the system.
Now, "Software Update" says everything is up-to-date.
I inserted an audio CD, and it says that iTunes needs QuickTime 7.5.5.
I can't get that to work.
I know nothing about Macs (or Leopards, Tigers, Panthers, Lions, etc...)
In Apple > About this Mac > Software, the "Kernel" says "Darwin 9.8.0"
Does that mean that this thing was made long before any of those Cats?
In Applications, QuickTime is v 7.3.
My immediate question... HOW do I get QuickTime up to 7.5.5?
Thanks very much for your help, here.
(Please excuse the Cats sarcasm/humor).
