Hi, I'm looking to get my first iPod, i really want to get one of the new 3rd generation ones. My problem is, I have a beige G3 with a firewire card, and os 9.2. Is there anyway to make the new pods work with my computer, or am I going to have to get a new computer, which I can't do at this time? Any info on this would be great. Thanks for your input.

    Here's a page from Apple's website that list the new iPods requirements.



    It says:



    Mac requirements and software.

    Apple computer with built-in FireWire port; Mac OS X v10.1.5 or later (Mac OS X 10.2 or later recommended); CD includes iTunes(7) for Mac OS X

    Ya, that's the reason i posted this question. I was wondering if there is some way around it. I know people were able to flash mac ipods for use with pcs. Is there someway to make new ipods work on older macs?

    Is that an error on Apple's page or did they just skip versions 5 and 6?

    I'd assume it would be one of those, "see note 7 at the bottom of this page" things. Like:



    HD capacity: 60 GB (4)

    ...

    4: Actual formatted capacity less.



    That sort of thing. m.
