you seem pretty knowledgeable of Mac operating systems. Can I pick your brain? I'm wondering if I should just upgrade to the Leopard instead of staying with Tiger that cannot be upgraded anymore to avoid these kinds of problems. By doing this, would it allow Itunes and everything else to be upgraded and operate better, chat features, Limewire etc. I hate when I get to about 3-4 years out on a computer and it comes to this point. Someone on the apple forum said he would stick with Tiger because Leopard was twice the size with twice the size upgrades etc. and some applications would need to be upgraded also or they wouldn't work. I know this is a Limewire forum but just would like another opinion. Thank you so far for your help.
