Updating iTunes on a Maine MLTI MacBook

Every year the iPod is one of the most popular holiday gifts out there and I'm sure this season will be no different. Especially since the new iPod Nano has a built in video camera and my personal favorite there's the iPod Touch. The issue is that the newer iPod's need iTunes 9 to work. iTunes 9 needs Safari 4 to work, however if you download Safari you get version 4.0.4 which only works on OSX 10.5.8, and the MLTI MacBooks have 10.5.7

Confused yet?

All you have to know is this:
Enjoy that new iPod!

  3. Kern - What a huge help! Thanks to your work to figure out all the puzzle pieces, we're up and running without the guesswork. Those of us with MLTI constraints appreciate you doing the legwork and sharing your knowledge.

  4. Kern, I find this to be a Windows .exe file download. I cannot install this to get the new Safari which will allow me to update iTunes. Any ideas?

  6. Does anyone know if this will work with iTunes 10? Seems like it should.
