How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1

          How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1?

You are correct in some of your assertions, Limnos but, if I were to follow Apple's wishes, I would have to purchase the latest and greatest Apple product every month!  I refuse to do that.  I understand that my G4 is old but, it does what I need it to do.  To answer your question though, I purchased the iPod classic as a refurbished unit, about 5 years ago and had it replaced three times, since then so, there is no way for me to know how old it is.
From my knowledge of how the Classics work(which is extensive.)  It is basically a hard disk.  There should be of performing a low level format, plug it back in and the G4 should recognize the ROm and automatically search for the correct software associated with that version of iPod and load it but, Apple will most likely no longer carry the software on their servers anymore!(surprise,surprise.)

  • How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

    When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • How do I make my multimedia keys work with iTunes?

    I just bought a new Dell XPS L502X laptop and i realize that the multimedia keys only work with iTunes when the window is open. I was wondering if it would be possible to use these commands even when the window is not open.

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See

    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

  • Will an iPod classic work with iTunes anymore ?

    I have an iPod classic set up playing music through my cars speakers but haven't updated the music or iTunes software for years.
    Will I be able to add music to it now through my iMacs latest iTunes ?
    Thanks
    Steve

    When you connect the iPod to iTunes, there is a Check for Update button on the Device/Summary pane;
    If there is an update (unlikely for the iPod Classic) a couple of clicks will do it all for you.
    Since you mention the length of time since you last connected the iPod to iTunes, be aware that if you connect the iPod to a different iTunes Librayr to its previous one, a Sync will remove the content from the previous Library. So hopefully, you will be conencting it to that old Library.
    It would be a wise move to update iTunes if it's a while since you have done so. On the iTunes menu, use Help/Check for Updates.

  • How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (windows 8). It synced with my old computer (windows XP) but not with my new one (windows8)

    How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (Windows8).? It synced with my old computer (WindowsXP) but will not do so on the new computer?

    Hi Lechwe,
    I had this issue recently, due to changing HD for an SSD.
    In my case, since the library in my iPod was synced to the HD it was not syncing to the library in the SSD, though they were the same (had the same contents).
    I found there's this checkbox in iTunes > iPod > [Settings] Music, called "Sync Music". Mine was unchecked, I guess due to iPod being synced to the old library. I marked the checkbox and clicked then in Sync. iTunes asked me if I was sure I wanted to sync the iPod with the "new" library, i clicked yes, and the it started determining the song to sync. Since the library was essentially the same (just a couple songs more in the new one), it synced the couple new songs and that was it.
    Hope it helps!
    Regards,
    Awlo.

  • Will my ipod classic work with windows 8

    I am finally updating my Windows XP desktop to a Windows 8 laptop.  Will my ipod classic work with Windows 8?  I've seen a ton of problems from other users with regard to compatibility.

    Do yourself a big favor. Switch to Windows 7. (Or buy a Mac.)

  • Help!  iPod classic works with stereo, in car, but won't connect with PC

    I've been to the Genius bar, my iPod classic works fine on their Mac and their Mac/PC. It works fine in my stereo and in my car. However, when I try to hook up with my Dell, it no longer recognizes it. I've uninstalled and re-installed the latest version of iTunes. (Also unintalled Quicktime, Apple Software Updater and the Apple Mobile software. When I try to connect (even bought a new cord, in case that was the issue), it thinks about it for a long time and never connects. Do I need to have a minumum amount of space on my hard drive in order for this to work (it's pretty full right now). Or is there something I'm doing wrong?

    Since the latest firmware update to my iPod Classic (which is actually the latest video iPod in the larger form factor - not the new video nanos) - both Windows XP and Windows Vista both are reporting that my iPod only supports USB 1.1 interface. So if my BIOS or Windows settings had been set to NOT support USB 1.0/1.1 devices, they probably would not have even shown up in Windows. The strange thing is - this very same iPOD worked no problem in both Vista and XP on the very same machine - until the latest firmware update to the iPOD itself. I am still using the very same cable that used to work - it all showed up as USB 2.0 - now, only USB 1.1. I mention this because if you updated your iPOD firmware recently, perhaps you are experiencing the same thing. Check your BIOS and Windows USB drivers to ensure they support USB 1.1 because maybe that is what your iPOD is now trying to connect as - even though the hardware itself is USB 2.0. Just a thought - now if I could only figure out what happened to my new iPod that used to work so well.

  • How can I get my iPod to work with its updater?

    Hey all, I have a 4G iPod, and it isn't recognized by iTunes. I connect it to its dock, and open the updater. The updater freezes and won't work UNLESS I leave it alone, after a few minutes the updater recognizes an iPod, but not any information about it (like the serial number or software version). Knowing this, I have sucessfully restored my iPod, only to find that the same problem is still there. The iPod shows up in "My Computer", but I can't get into it. Also of interest, whenever I connect the iPod, AutoPlay immediately starts, and asks me what I want windows to do every time I connect the device, but it doesn't show me a list of options...perhaps AutoPlay is messing the iPod-iTunes connection up? Can anyone help? Tried tons of thing on the site already.
    Thanks

    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Otherwise you need a working dock connector and computer wither iTuned and internet connection
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • How do i make my canoscan 4400f work with adobe photoshop CC

    The problem i'm having is that it will find the scanner and will give me the simple scanning mode from the plate, but it will not give me any access to the advanced scanning functions and to the negative scanner part of it.  I've tried updating the driver software to the newest version (created 11 days ago). I'm running it on windows 8.1.

  • How can I sync my iPod classic to another iTunes library

    I need to sync my iPod classic to a new computer shared with my wife how can I sync my music to her library?

    Hello eddie8625,
    I would recommend enabling 'manual mode' on the iPod so that it can be synced to two libraries without affecting the existing content on the device.

  • How can I make my cd-roms work with osx 10.4.9?

    We bought a new mac, but my kids cd-roms -- which we just bought in December -- don't work with it. They say they're Macintosh compatible, but I suspect they just don't work with this new system.
    Is there a driver or some other update I can download to make these games work?
    Thanks for your help -
    S.
    PS: I don't know if it matters, but the games are from Disney (Cinderella's Dollhouse and Magical Dress-Up) and Vivendi Universal (Barbie Swan Lake & Barbie Fashion Show).

    Hi again,
    The games are copyrighted 2001, 2002, 2003 & 2004; I just bought them in December.
    This is a classic case of: had an old computer, the new CD-roms were too advanced & wouldn't work. So I bought a new computer, and now the games are not advanced enough!
    Although the other posted said I probably had to run them in "classic" - that's not something I should really do, right? Or is it ok to switch my OS back & forth?
    When I first realized my problem & went back to the store, they suggested I look for a patch of some sort, that would upgrade these games. Is that realistic? I went to the mattel site & the vivendi site & didn't find anything that looked useful.
    Finally, I do want to buy games for my kids. What sort of compatibility do I need to look for in the future? Is there really no way for us to use these games now?
    Thanks for your help (and patience, since it takes me so long to get back to these forums
