Short problem: my iPhone 3 (not GS) wont activate or talk to my iMac G3 running iTunes 8.2 on Tiger 10.4.11, although I reckon it should (this iPhone requires iTunes 9.2)
More details: Im away on business a lot, so Ive rented another house and moved in my old year 2000 graphite slot loading G3 iMac running the last system available to it, Tiger 10.4.11. Ive got a MacBook back home which the wife uses. I bought an iPhone 4 but realised that it wont run on the old girl, so I gave it to the wife and took her old iPhone 3 (not the GS) which is running iOS 4.0.2. I wiped it, bought a new SIM card (Tesco rolling contract) then plugged it into the iMac but get the error message this iPhone requires iTunes 9.2. I cant download iTunes 9 as it requires an Intel processor.
According to this iTunes version history, it should work.

Do I need to roll back the iOS or firmware? Do I need to jailbreak the phone? How is this done on a wiped phone that hasnt been activated.
Ta much for any suggestions.
