itunes version for mac os 9.2
« on: July 30, 2014, 11:59:09 PM »
what was the last version of itunes? (or best version)?
 :D

Version 3 dropped Mac OS 9 support but added smart playlists and a ratings system

so im guessing its 2.x? (whatever highest?)

i wonder if it would be actually possible to sync a 1st generation ipod with this ancient version of mac os 9 itunes??
or perhaps a white-usb stick style -ipod shuffle
that was my favourite ipod!


i loved being able to go into any mall and chage my ipod by plugging it into a laptop on display or computer at the library.. anywhere.. i could charge this thing;) hehe no stupid adapter required - mijne was stolen... i should buy a new one http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR6.TRC1.A0.H0.Xipod+shuffle+1st+generation&_nkw=ipod+shuffle+1st+generation&_sacat=0&_from=R40

There is another fact. At the beggining itunes was not locked to ipods. You could connect other mp3 players (?). There was a modern version for a Motorola phone long time before iphones, but was for X. Interesting to know all the features for the os9 versions. Why itunes 2 over itunes 1?
Looking for MacOS 9.2.4

http://www.everyi.com/by-year/index-ipod-iphone-ipad-models-by-year.html

is there any documentation on compatibility with these old itunes versions?
how do i determine which ipod models are compatible with itunes on mac os 9?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes_version_history#iTunes_2.x
this page shows some updates

ipod support was only added to v2.0 in October 2001!!! and the last update for mac os 9 came in march of 2002 so thats only 5 months of ipod support for mac os 9
but it doesnt say which models.. maybe it only works with the original ipod
that was out then  + there or
perhaps theres support a few models after that untill they changed something
enuff that it broke the support mechanism


re my original question for the ipod shuffle according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Shuffle#1st_generation it wasnt released until January 11, 2005 so theres no way in hell it work with mac os  9 (im guessing)

given that the last update for itunes 2.04 for mac os 9 was in march 2002
theres a good chance it supports the 2nd gen ipod
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ipod/specs/ipod_2ndgen.html
which was released in teh same time march2002

1stgen + 2ndgen ipods must be vintage + collectosr item tho by now if they still work
they conencted by firewire too

I have a first generation iPod. Bought it new when it came out. Used it until the hard drive died in it.
Nowadays Spotify is king :)

Hello,

I was just about to listen to the radio while doing some stuff in OS 9 and iTunes isn't working, not even the radio. I am hooked up to the internet via ethernet, Is there something I am doing wrong not to get iTunes for os 9 to play radio ? Any other programs I can use to listen to a radio ?
