How can I install Leopard on a G3 iBook?

[ozziegn]

Okay, here's what's up. My friend just bought a pretty clean G3 iBook that currently is running Tiger. he wants to hook up his iPhone to his laptop, but iTunes wants him to have Leopard in order for it to see his 3G iPhone.

so my friend downloaded the Leopard update but when he tried to run the update, the laptop gave him some sort of error that says, "installer package cannot be used ......................"

can anyone throw me a lifeline or two as to what the problem is? he really wants to run Leopard but so far he isn't having any luck.

It's a G3. That's the problem. It won't work. Downloading a "Leopard update" won't upgrade your OS, anyway. That's just for Leopard users.

You don't need Leopard for the iPhone, anyway.

Even if it could somehow get onto the iBook, that'd be a REALLY bad idea.

Can you say 'glacier'?

my friend told me that iTunes wanted him to upgrade to a newer version before it would see the 3G iPhone.

He probably meant that it wants a newer version of iTunes.

You at least need a G4 to install Leopard. iTunes should update just fine in 10.4.11.
