You need to update to 10.4.8, or downgrade iTunes.

What error do you get installing the update? Try installing the Combo Updater.

I can't really know what the problem is if you just say it "won't update"

Download the 10.4.8 Combo PPC and run it. The combo Update will take you straight to 10.4.8. If you want the 10.4.9 Combo or the 10.4.10 Combo you could either of them as well.

I completely forgot that 10.4.10 is now the latest version of Tiger - it'd probably be best to try to upgrade to that first, but you could try installing 10.4.8 first without any ill effects.

I d/l the update when I try to do it
it says you cant install on this volume (H/D has a red exclamation mark)
this volume does not meet the requirement for this update

Its an 80 gig H/D with clean install

About a week ago I upgraded and had same problem, thats why I though a clean install might work

Its a power pc g4 1gig ram 512

The reason I am doing all this so I can install Quarkexpress 7
it wont install with panther

I tried 10.4.8 same thing

I read the error meassage more closely
it says installing this software rquires 84.7 MB of space

cant install on this volume (H/D has a red exclamation mark)
this volume does not meet the requirement for this update

When I installed Tiger did I choose wrong file system?

Your machine has Panther? (10.3) Click the apple logo in the upper right-hand corner, then "About this Mac". You'll see your OS version there. You cannot update from 10.3 to 10.4, you have to buy Tiger.

EDIT: nevermind, it looks like you installed Tiger over Panther. You may want to try a lower upgrade first, such as 10.4.7

EDIT 2: Looking through some similar situations, the only solution I have found is an archive and install, but that's not to say that there's no other solution.
