I have a iBook G4 but the version of iTunes won't accept my iPhone. Is there any upgrades I can do to it so it will take a newer version of iTunes and work with my iPhone 4s?? Thanks in advance

Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the answer is no. Apple stopped shipping PowerPC/Intel hybrid applications and now only ships Intel compatible ones. You G4 iBook is a PowerPC.

You *can* use your iPhone 4S with your iBook G4. The iPhone 4S and iTunes 10.5 need Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard with all updates) and Leopard does run on your iBook. You can find Leopard on ebay. (Don't buy Snow Leopard, which will not run on the iBook). Install Leopard, run Software Update until it finds no more updates, then connect your iPhone 4S.
