Comment: The iPod mini is now available here, but it
says in the system requirements that you
need Mac OS 10.1.5 or later. Is it possible
to run it with Mac OS 9.1, and has anyone
had any success with that? I have iTunes,
firewire etc. so I don't see any problem
with that, except the OS. %00

Reply: (edit)The new ipods and any other new apple hardware will not
support Mac OS 9. You need to upgrade to Mac OS X to
use Apple's new hardware. I also believe the new iPods only work with the new
iTunes, OS 9 only has iTunes versions 1 and 2, iTunes is
now at version 4.5 in Mac OS X Panther 10.3.5. I would seriously advise you upgrade to Mac OS X from
Mac OS 9, Mac OS X has been out for 3 years, isn't it time
you switched to it? Or..if you don't want to upgrade, then you can simply
return your iPod mini to your nearest Apple dealer or
phone Apple to have it returned. I hope this has helped.

Reply: (edit)I have an old powerbook G3 and was given a
Gen 4 iPod; is there someway to at least use
the "use iPod as disk drive" function in USB
to gain access to the mp3s?
