New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
You can get 10.6.8 here:

  • New iPod Touch won't sync with iTunes as iTunes hangs

    Hello,
    I got a new iPod Touch yesterday after my old iPod Video died. Brought it home, connected it and all seemed fine until iTunes (that had worked flawlessly for years) just stopped (app stops responding).
    I can kill the app and restart and it just starts over again, but never gets all the way thru sync.
    I looked for a newer version but says I've got the latest.
    Any suggestions? Don't suppose I can sync via WiFi?
    thanks,
    Chris

    Hey Chris, I got this off iPhonenano.net
    Occasionally your iPhone or iPod touch starts syncing when you connected it to your Mac only to drop out of the sync process. Even worse, once the cycle stops, it continues every time you plug your handheld in. This fix is fairly easy, but you won't find it in iTunes. You'll know know if you are suffering from this little headache because your iPhone or iPod touch will begin the sync process, but stops unexpectedly. iTunes will display a dialog warning you that your handheld stopped communicating and the sync process was cancelled. Here's how to break the cycle so and sync as normal again:
    Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your Mac/Pc
    After the sync process fails, launch iSync. You can find it in your Applications folder.
    Select iSync > Preferences.
    Click the Reset Sync History button.
    iSync will display a dialog explaining what happens when you reset the sync history. Go ahead and click the second Reset Sync History button.
    Quit iSync.
    Now you should be able to sync your iPhone or iPod touch again without any hassles. Since your sync history has been reset, your first post-rest sync may take longer than you expect. Depending on how much information is stored on your handheld, that could be a few extra seconds or several minutes.
    Hope this helps,
    Arnie

  • My new Ipod touch won't  work  with my Alpine CDE-125BT car stereo.

    I bought the new Ipod touch. I am dissapointed because I can't get it to work with my fairly new Apline car stereo. This radio has an ipod cable which worked with my ipod classic. I called alpine they told me to buy the Apple 30 pin to lightnig adapter, I did and it still didn't work. The radio also has bluetooth. I was able to connect  ipod through bluetooth, but music wouldn't play through the radio. Is anybody having the same issue as me and is there any advice. Thanks.

    Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
    It could be that the car system is not compatible with the iOS on the iPod. Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility. I would pursue that with the car system manufacturer. Ask it they tested the car system with a 5G iPod with the adopter.

  • Brand new iPod touch won't connect with iTunes

    Hi,
    I have just been given an iPod Touch (32 gb) and am trying to get it to work.
    I started by down loading a new copy of iTunes (there was an old version on my computer) and installing it. I plugged in the iPod and for a few seconds it displayed the apple logo. Then a symbol showing a usb cable with an arrow pointing to a iTunes logo appeared. The computer detects the iPod, but iTunes doesn't. I have not been able to progress past this screen. Initally, I thought that it might not have charged, so I left it plugged in for a few hours. I contacted Apple, and on their instructions, I've tried turning it off and doing a restore. I've also removed iTunes and then reinstalled it. I've tested my setup on an old iPod (iTunes detects it fine) and another iPod Touch (iTunes doesn't detect it). When the iPod Touch is connected to a Mac, it works fine.
    My computer uses Windows XP and is about six years old.
    Does anybody have an idea for something else I can try? Thank you in advance.

    Try removing your Security Software(nortons,Zone alarm,Mcaffe etc)or at least turning it off and reboot, then delete the driver installed for your i-pod and reinstall the driver, then reinstall your Security System.Hope that helps it worked for me!!!!

  • Why is my ipod touch 5 not working with itunes? It says it needs to update to itunes 10.7 or later.

    My new ipod touch 5 is working perfectly, almost. When I plugged it in to my laptop for Itunes, the laptop said the ipod needs to update to itunes 10.7 or later. The problem is it won't let me update it. Can somebody help me?

    You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to sync it. If you're using Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.6.7, run Software Update twice. If you're running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier and have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
    If you're using Windows, what happens when you try to update it?

  • New ipod touch won't connect, shows itunes and usb icons

    My son just got a new ipod touch for his birthday. I have the latest version of itunes, and I have spent hours scouring the internet looking for a solution. Whether the thing is plugged into the computer or not, all it will do is show the usb cable icon and the itunes icon. When I plug it into the computer, my computer makes the noise that indicates that a device has plugged in, the ipod beeps one beep, and I get an error message from itunes that says that a rented movie from the ipod cannot be imported into itunes. Other than that, the computer, including itunes, doesn't acknowledge the existence of the ipod, not in the device manager, in itunes, in the itunes diagnostics tests, or anywhere else. In addition, the battery won't charge.
    Also, I noticed that I do not have anything called "Apple Mobile Device Service," although I do have something called "Bonjour service." Are these the same thing or could this be the problem. Please HELP!

  • New Ipod touch won't sync with window's vista/itunes 9.2 - help!!

    I charged my brand new ipod touch via my computer, have it plugged it into my computer's USB port, and Itunes acknowledges the device in the left hand menu BUT it automatically says "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection has timed out". The ipod will not sync with my itunes! I tried connection/disconnecting, turning the ipod on and off, and restarting the computer. No luck. What do I need to do? Please help, I was so excited to get the new ipod and now I can't use it! I have window's vista and I don't know anything about how to check or change computer settings that might be preventing the store from opening (it used to open, but I haven't tried in a while and I just downloaded version 9.2 today).

  • New IPod Touch will not sync with Itunes-updated to iOS 7.1.1 for new IPod

    Just purchased new IPod Touch (purchased 6-3-14 - had a Classic until it fried). After setting it up, I tried to sync to ITunes and it says it syncs but does nothing. No music transferred to IPod. I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 if that means anything. This is very frustrating as I am not a computer whiz and really want to use my IPod in my really long commutes to work. Thanks for any insight...

    Hi abbeyesque,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your iPod touch is recognized and syncing, but it isn't transferring the content that you expect to be transferred. Take a look at the article linked below, it will show you how to select the iPhone in iTunes and where the tabs are (second picture) that control what is synced to the iPod.
    iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Sync using USB
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable.
    Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, you may need to hide the sidebar. Choose View > Hide Sidebar.
    Some tabs may not appear if you don't have the corresponding content in your library. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, the Podcast tab won't appear.
    Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.

  • Ipod Touch won't work with talktalk router :(

    There are a lot of posts on here about people's itouch not working with certain wifi areas, I think this is one of those but am praying someone out there has an answer and I do not have to wait for an apple update.
    I have used my itouch in a few different public wifi zones but cannot connect to my home secured network, it just says unable to join the network 'TalkTalk***'. I know the itouch works online and know the wifi works at home because a laptop, psp & Wii all work off it. Anyone else had this problem and managed to solve it???
    Thanks in advance

    Hey there,
    Glad to hear we're getting closer. Looks like you're connected to the network, just not able to utilize it's internet connection.
    Let's check your iPod's IP addres. Tap Settings > Wi Fi and look for your network. To the right, there's a blue circle with a white arrow in it. Tap that circle. If the IP address starts out with 169.x.x.x, it is a self-assigned IP address. Since it came from the iPod, and not the router, it can't be used.
    I would recommend resetting your iPod's network settings:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    When the iPod restarts, reconnect it to your network and try Safari again.
    If it still isn't working, try powercycling your router and resetting those settings at the same time.
    1. Turn off the router
    2. Reset the network settings again, as indicated above
    3. Turn the router back on
    4. Reconnect the iPod to the network
    If it still isn't working, let's check your iPod's software version.
    Settings > General > About
    If you've upgraded to 2.0, the latest version is 2.0.2. If you haven't upgraded, the latest version is 1.1.5. If you're not at either of those numbers, connect the iPod to your computer and use iTunes to check for software updates for the iPod.
    Regarding the router settings, I'm not familiar with your router manufacturer. I'd check their website for instructions on that. I think at this point you wouldn't really need to change any settings, but just check for firmware updates.
