I did upgrade my PPC-based Mac to OS X 10.5 and was thus able to run iTunes 10.1 but the iPod won’t complete the restore process on this system either. I’ve tried restarting the iPod, soft resets, hard resets, the double hard reset, but nothing works. ITunes went through its hoopla and the progress display on both the PC and the iPod reached something around 95% and then just sat there, never completing. Knowing that I could reload everything on the iPod I said OK, restore the entire device. Since then things iPodish have gone thoroughly wretched here in the Gearhead Secret Orbiting Laboratories: On Windows, iTunes got trashed and, after reinstalling, the new instance reported it didn’t know my iPod. I was using OS X 10.4 and iTunes 10.1 requires 10.5 or higher while, at the same time, it supports Windows right back to XP. Crazy. I complained a few weeks ago about Apple driving me into the arms of Windows by not providing backwards compatibility for iTunes 10.1 (which I needed to set up a brand-new new iPod Touch).
