urig-herb Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hi, since iTunes is a PPC app it should be possible to update it from the devkit version 4.8 to 4.9 via the normal iTunes installer from the apple homepage. Did someone try this? I'm a bit afraid to break something. thank you urig-herb PS: I'm running a "Devkit" with Asrock 775Dual and Celeron326, runs great!

Proteo Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 since iTunes is a PPC app it should be possible to update it from the devkit version 4.8 to 4.9 via the normal iTunes installer from the apple homepage. That's exactly what I did and iTunes is working better than the previous one, it's more stable and a bit faster. I haven't had any problem so far with it, and I've read similar opinions around here.

parabajarse Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Urig-herb, iTunes goes fast with your Celeron? how % of CPU it uses? I have a Celeron D, and iTunes goes slow. I have read that Celeron is slow with Rosetta, so PPC apps don´t work good. Thanks.

I have read that Celeron is slow with Rosetta, so PPC apps don´t work good. Thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It works "o.k.". CPU usage is 15% while playing a song with peaks up to 30% (measured with activity monitor). Other operations like importing take a lot of cpu power. I'm wondering why iTunes is the only rosetta app of the iLife suite. I hope that there will be a universal binary soon (with version 5.0?).
