I think it's time for you to get a new Mac.But but.. will it work on my 10.5.8 PowerBook G4 ? :(
The update actually grabs you by the scruff of your neck and forces you to buy a Retina MacBook Pro.
Finally, the rain of terror is over :)
But alas, the snow of despair approaches.
The most anticipated and (soon to be) the most reviled version of iTunes to date :D
Not to mention the random German thrown in at the end... ("mit")
It's a German company (you can see that the little 'GmbH' at the very bottom) - this was likely an email originally in German and then translated to English, doesn't mean it's not legit.
Apple just re-released the full (non-upgrade) version of SL for $20 on the online store, which requires an intel chip and 1GB Ram. If you can upgrade your G4 to run SL, then it will support the new iPhone/iPad and hopefully (slightly more likely) the new iTunes 11.
I'm guessing they limit iTunes 11 to 10.6.8 and newer (and Win7/Win8), which would explain the re-release of the SL disc on the online store, and help Apple retain more iTunes customers into the future.
I think they finally realized that not everyone can go buy a new computer every 2 years, and they can't just abandon their huge iTunes user base.
Clearly this isn't going to work.
