new ipod and OS9

i had it working fine in 0S 9 on my Pismo PB before I upgraded it to 10.2.6. What are the specs of the Mac you are using it with?

I have just recieved a 30GB ipod as a gift, and i'm having the same problems with compatability with MacOS9.2. - on a G4 powermac

I've "downgraded" to itunes 2 - which seems to be running fine, and it even recognises the ipod and displays the icon in the source list... there is definitely some sort of interaction with the mac & ipod, but I can't squirt any audio at all onto ipod... I also get the "Do Not Disconnect" warning.

If I restart my mac, the ipod changes to it's normal menus for a while - then the charging light comes on - but it never actually seems to fully charge... it just keeps going.

I've tried downloading the ipod updater 1.3, however when the time comes to select "restore" or "update" - neither are highlighted and can't be activated.

I can't believe that apple have made almost everything incompatible after OSX, it really doesn't show an awful lot of respect to existing customers - and so far their online support has offered nothing but a few FAQ's.

I'm hoping that someone - anyone - can help me turn on my new toy. this is SO frustrating.
