Friends:
I have a six-year old iMac (700 Mz Power Pc G4, 768 MB SDRAM, on OS X 10.3.9; airport wireless card; 40G drive) which I am trying to keep functional for one more year, when we will replace it with a MacBook for last child departing for college. Main uses: facebook and related networking, school research on web, music-to-ipod synchronization.
Same child got an iPhone for Christmas and we subsequently learned the phone will synchronize only with a 10.4 or later OS. I made a bootable back up and then attempted to update the OS with 10.4.7 disks. That hung up, citing no drivers for the hardware, and required a forced re-boot from the external drive in order to eject the disk. We recovered the 10.3.9 OS, but now are stuck.
Is it possible to install 10.4 on this machine, so that it can handle the iPhone software? What are my options (short purchase of a new MacBook, which I would prefer not to do now)?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Bruce
