Hi all, I recently downloaded the latest version of iTunes only to find it's not compatible with my system. I have OS X Version 10.4 Tiger. I don't really want the hassle of upgrading the whole system, so I downloaded iTunes version 4.9 (I don't know which version I had on here originally). When I tried to install it. I got a message saying there was no default application specified to open it with. Can anyone tell me what application I need to install it?

If you don't want to upgrade your Mac OS X 10.4 to latest version, you should stay with the iTunes that comes with it, or use Software Update (under the blue Apple menu) and update iTunes.

Thanks for the fast reply. I already did update iTUnes from the blue Apple menu but I can't use it on the system I have. I just thought I could download an older version and install that again, but I don't know which application to select to install it.

Did you update QuickTime as well?

I would suggest your upgrade Mac OS X to latest shipping version when you have time.

Old iTunes won't work with new OS.

Thanks again. Oh well, guess I'll have to do that sometime then. It could be a drag because I have dial-up and it keeps disconnecting. I noticed though there is a stand alone installer you can download, so perhaps I should use that.

Oh, cool. I've solved my problem. I just downloaded iTunes Version 7.2 and it installed and is working fine.

Great! although I am not a MAC expert, I was finding hard to believe that OS 10.4 Tiger would not be compatible with a recent version.

Yeah, I guess the 4.9 was too old. It was just a wild guess really as I had no idea which one was on here originally. Anyway, all's well that ends well.
