i can’t send the app as it would just crash on your laptop, but I just downloaded Xcode from here: https://developer.apple.com/download/all/ and search “Xcode for 10.8 mtn lion” you also need command line tools. Search “command line tools for mtn lion” it should work.Can you send your iTunes 11.4 app? I'd love to try this on OS X 10.8 but i don't have xCode

ok, nevermind, back on 10.6.8 and i do have xCode here. i'll try to do it, but idk if it's necessary to re-sign it as it predates the app store and the safety features it brought with it.
probably. I learned it from someone on leopard and they didn't have to sign it. doesn't 10.6 have the app store tho?
Oh, alright then. Also, yeah, 10.6.6 and above have the app store but it doesn't come with the annoying developer check that 10.7 and above have, and i removed the app store from my os x installation because it dont work anymore lol, ill try to patch 9.2.1 soon in that case
iPods DO use IPSW files (i believe they stand for iPod SoftWare?). This one, for example, is firmware 1.0.4 for the 4G nano.
i know you've already restored yours, but just in case, here's firmware 3.1.1 for the 4g monochrome https://secure-appldnld.apple.com/iPod/SBML/osx/bundles/061-2692.20060912.pODcW/iPod_10.3.1.1.ipsw
NVM, it doesn't work, and it doesn't let me codesign, likely because my Xcode version is too old. I'll survive with 9.2 for now lol
I tried the patcher program from Macintosh Garden and it didn’t work, no idea why.
Bummer.
If you're on intel, i think it's because it's PowerPC only (as everything good for old macs)
UPDATE: I have reverted to itunes 10.7. I tried using the itunes 11 method to fix the store, but it just made the store a white screen. This did fix genius, but i wanted to use the store again. Signing in or authorizing ended up throwing a -50 error. I did figure out a different way to sign in, by updating to itunes 12, signing in, deleting the .itl, p
lacing the previous .itl back, and instaling itunes 10. Here is a screenshot with me signed in.
yeah thanks for that. I appreciate the reply back. I am having some trouble getting xcode to install becaues my mac is running snow leopard, and it is hard to find am xcode dmg that actually works. I keep on getting the message of installation failed
do you think there is another way to get this to work... because I been wanting genius to work for ages. is there files you can send or another route to take??
