Have a Powermac G4, dual 500MHz, 2GB RAM, has a USB 2.0 card in one of the PCI(or whatever) slots.

Bought an iPhone 4.

Realized I needed to be running Leopard, so installed Leopard and updated, etc.

Now, I plug the iPhone in, iPhoto recognizes it as a camera, but iTunes is not responding.

Any ideas?

Didn't make a difference, nice thought though.

Any other ideas?

I think I remember hearing something about iTunes 10 needing a 1ghz+ processor but I couldn't tell you for sure. Does iTunes actually open on your computer and just not recognize the iPhone or does it not open at all?

EDIT: Found it but I don't know if its right

Now, on the Apple side of things, machines that are capable of running Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard include all machines with processors that are faster than 867MHz, though iTunes requires at least a 1GHz processor and iPhone 4 requires a USB 2.0 connection.

iTunes 10 does open, it just doesn't mount the iPhone. Obviously, the USB 2.0 capability is not on the motherboard, but with the PCI card that I added. I'm thinking that the issue is related to that.

Have you checked in system profiler to see that it actually recognizes that you have a USB card in the PCI slot?
