Like all my bling my iPod is old. 2nd gen. iTunes 6 on computer. Not loading complete playlist songs to iPod. Not loading many in fact to iPod. The old dual USB iBook G3 with 10.2.8.

Says I need update from updater page to load some songs. Which iTunes version should I use and is there any chance of losing songs on computer? Cannot upgrade OS, may be a deal breaker?


Please no remarks about my all around obsolescence. I know. I know.

Looks like 10.2.8 system prevents upgrade. Any ways around?

First, you should backup your library to either DVD's or an external drive. Then you can try anything with confidence. If I remember correctly, iTunes iPod interface took a leap forward from 6 to 7. IMHO it would be well worth it to upgrade even if it meant buying and installing Tiger.

Even if you had all modern stuff, there's ALWAYS a chance that stuff will get scotched by an update, so backup your iTunes folder before you do an upgrade.

That having been said, I have done several updates from old clients and haven't seen any problems.

Of course I would have had I not backed up first...

> Cannot upgrade OS

Why not?

Apple update page says to download I need 10.3.9 or later.

You can always loose your iTunes, anytime, anywhere. BOO!

If this is your issue, and what you have should be allowing this, then what good is upgrading anything going to do you? If you have a bug, squash it, don't paint over it. What happens if you upgraded to the latest iTunes and then a month later you then run into problems? Quit listening to music?

Even the first generation 3oo MHz G3 iBook can run OSX 10.3.9 - maybe it's time to upgrade. OSX 10.3 will provide better performance than 10.2.x.

What's all this talk about loose software? If it's all bytes, wouldn't it be pretty tight?
