    Unhappy not sure which itune i need

    I bought a new imac which is awesome. I gave my dad my old imacG3 and updated it to OSX.3. When I tried to play my itune library it told me I couldn't because it was made by a newer version (I was given this message when I pushed the agreement button trying to play my music). I can't figure this out. The itunes that was downloaded was itunes 4.0.1.I thought if I tried to "update" it I would. itunes 7 won't download on this version of OS X.3. It has to be at least OSX.3.9. Which version of itunes should I download for OSX.3. (and is this even my problem?)

    First of all uninstall iTunes from your computer.

    Drag the application's icon to the Trash. Open the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder and look for one or more preference files named "com.apple.iTunes....plist" and drag them to the Trash. Look in /Library/ folder for an iTunes folder and if you find one drag it to the Trash. Look in /Home/Library/ folder for an iTunes folder and drag it to the Trash. Last, in /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder look for two files with names com.apple.nnnnnnn.plist and drag them to the Trash.

    Open Activity Monitor (Utilities folder) and in the process list look for iTunesHelper. Select it, then click on Quit Process icon. Quit or Force Quit the process. Now open the Accounts preference pane, click on Login Items tab, look for the iTunesHelper entry and select it, then click the "-" button and remove it from the list.

    Empty the Trash. This should fully remove iTunes and its associated files/folders.

    If you are having problems with iTunes or other apps, you should first repair your hard drive and permissions.
    Then go to following link and download iTunes 6.0 and see if you can get it to work.
