New Nano, Old Computer

So wife just bought a ipod nano but itunes won't recognize it, even though the computer itself does see it. Any workarounds to make itunes 9 see it and work with it? Can I reformat the nano into something that my OS (10.4.11) recognizes?

No, you will need to use your computer that has Snow Leopard on it that is listed in your settings.

  • When i try to synch my new nano my computer freezes?

    every time i try to comnnect my new nano my computer freezes (sony vaio windows 7 )  also happends with my old nano .

    What happens if you reset the Nano while still connected? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    It wouldn't hurt to also try another available USB port.
    If all else fails, remove all Apple related software and re-install it from scratch using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • My new and old computer won't reconize my ipod

    I got instructions off apple.com on how to move my itunes library from my old computer to my new one. I followed every step. I have mini4G and didn't have enough space needed to transfer my music and music files so I did what the instructions told me to. I hadjust got done downloading the files to my Ipod and was going to start the procese on my new computer which I had already installed itunes 7.0 and hooked my ipod up to my computer followed the next couple off steps( at this time it reconized my Ipod) then did the reset step and wam! No more Ipod! My old or new computer can't reconize my Ipod anymore! How could this be? How do I get my Ipod back . now all it will do now is charge... Could someone please help me? I've only had it for a year. If I'd know this would happen I would just put all my cd's and puchased songs on manually. It would have took a long time but at least this wouldn't have happend.

  • Installing software from new to old computer

    If I buy a new mac with Tiger, can I use the CDs provided to instal it on my old computer (that has panther on it) or do I need to buy it separately?
    Power Mac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    The Tiger install package that ships with a new Mac purchase is model and build specific and cannot be used to install Tiger on another Mac. Even if attempted on the same Mac model, the model build must be identical to the model/build the install package was shipped with and intended for. Even if possible and as previously provided, it would be a violation of the single user license agreement and against the law to install and use a copy of the OS and included software on more than one Mac at a time.
    If you want to install Tiger on your old Mac, you need to purchase a Tiger retail install package which can be used to install Tiger on a single Mac model that meets the minimum system requirements.

  • New iPod/Old Computer

    I'm a newbie to all of this...I have a new iPod 80G Video that I can not sync on my old computer. I had a 4g mini that I used and recently upgraded. When I first plugged in the new 80G to my computer iTunes goes through the process of initializing and showing the new iPod under "devices," and it looks like it has all of the music synced but it does not. There is nothing on the new iPod. Is there some process I need to go through to get this to work?

    This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.

  • New nano, old itunes

    I connected my new nano to the current version of itunes when I got it about a month ago. Since then, I have reinstalled operating system/softwear from original discs (OS X 10.4, iTunes 4.71). As I am attempting to figure out if my hard drive issues are softwear or hardwear related (all seemed to start after updating iTunes) I'm reluctant to update again. My nano's battery is wearing down, and I'm not sure what will happen when I connect it. I had it set to manual updating. All I really want to do is charge the battery. Any guesses?

    I understand that, but among our friends and relatives, we do not have any problem with iTunes 7. Have you try the following
    Diagnostic mode solution
    If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
    You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
    Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
    iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
    The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
    iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
    iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
    You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
    Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
    For Mac computer
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

  • New Nano, Old Troubles

    I just got my amazing 8GB black iPod Nano. It is so small, and at the same time, so big. I have a question, that I kwno has been answered before, but I am to lazy to look it up. So, how do you sync your new iPod to your _old and same iTunes_?

    It should update your new Nano so I'm not sure what the problem is. Can you be more specific when you say "nothing happens"? Do you mean there is no message on the Nano screen saying it is syncing? No indication on the computer at all that you plugged in a Nano or that you clicked the sync button? No error message?
    I assumed you've tried restarting your Mac as well as resetting your Nano. Is this a brand new Nano? If nothing works, it would be time to give Apple a call.

  • New nano/old library

    My wife lost her 3 month old nano, I just ordered her a new one. Is there a way to just use her old library once the new one arrives?

    Are you using one library and updating different playlists or do you have different Windows user accounts? If it's different accounts then log into Mom's and connect the iPod. How did you handle her last Nano? Whatever you did then you just need to do with the new one.

  • 2 new nanos, 1 computer

    I previously had a mini. Just bought 2 nanos- 1 for me, one for my husband. Can I transfer my mini itunes to the nano? How do I install the 2 different nanos on 1 desktop that already thinks I am using a mini?

    See these articles about using more than one iPod on one computer, and with either one or more iTunes libraries.
    Multiple iPod installations.
    How to use multiple iPods with one computer.
    If you have the latest iTunes, an easy way to create a new library is to hold down the 'alt' key whilst opening iTunes (for Macs), or hold down the 'shift' key (for Windows).
    This will give you the option of either using the current iTunes library or creating a new one.
    There are various methods of transferring different songs to different iPods with a single iTunes library.
    One is to manage the songs manually.
    With this setting, you can drag and drop songs/playlists etc onto the iPod from iTunes, and also delete and/or edit songs which are currently on the iPod without affecting the iTunes library.
    If you wish to keep the convenience of automatic sync, then you could set the iPods to sync with "selected playlists". This setting can be found in the iPod summary screen under the 'music' tab. With this setting, different playlists can be transferred and later deleted from each iPod without affecting any playlists stored in iTunes or the playlists on the other iPods.
    Also, on the 'summary' main page you will see the option to "only sync checked items". With this setting selected, if you remove the check marks from any songs in iTunes, they will not be transferred to the iPod. You can restore the check mark if you want to put the songs back on the iPod at a later date.
    Be aware that when playing songs in iTunes, any songs that do not have a check mark against them will be skipped over and will not be played.

  • New Nano, old macbook - help

    Is there any way to download itunes from iPad to iPod Nano?  My mac book is apparently too old and my son's new iPod Nano won't register and itunes won't update as os x version is needed and we don't have it.  Updating everything makes it a costly Nano.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You have an Early 2009 MacBook, so the upgrade will be cheap. iTunes 11 needs Mac OS X 10.6.8, so buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Then, make a backup of your files, insert the disc and upgrade. The disc has got Mac OS X 10.6.3, so after upgrading, open  > Software Update to install the most recent version. After installing 10.6.8, open Software Update for a second time to update iTunes, so you will be able to use the iPod nano

  • New Monitor, Old Computer Compatibility

    I have a new(ish) Acer monitor. It's only 17.5" apparently, but its native resolution is something like 1600 x 900 and 32-bit colour, though I think it can handle lower resolution if need be.
    I have a Sawtooth with a Rage 128 Pro graphics card.
    Will the latter be able to handle the former? I have the DVI cablery necessary to connect them, I'm just concerned that Sawtooth's antiquated graphics card won't want anything to do with the new monitor (even if my Intel Mac Mini can set it to a lower resolution as desired).
    Additionally, the Sawtooth will be running OS 9 and will need to boot off an external hard drive or install CD.

    OK, thanks. The monitor worked after all. (Once I finally requisitioned it for the afternoon.)
    Sawtooth is now running Mac OS 9.0.4 (found a copy on Macintosh Garden; my own CD is long since lost to the mists of time.)
    Sawtooth briefly ran OSX 10.4.11 since I had to boot it off my external drive to reformat its internal drive (which was pulled from a PC; Windows NT format, and had some X86-friendly version of Linux on it). It was a somewhat aggravating experience trying to run Tiger on a 400 Mhz processor.
    For some reason, it wouldn't boot off the install CD, though. (I booted it into OS 9.2.2 off the external drive and it mounted the install CD; it just wouldn't boot off it. Luckily, OS 9 doesn't need to boot off the CD to install.) I wonder why that is.
    PS— Seems they redesigned the support forums. The old one was better.

  • New software, old computer q

    I recently purchased a brand new MacBook. Naturally, it came with installation discs for Mac OS X. I'm now wondering if I can use the same discs to install Mac OS X onto our old iMac with OS 9. How would one go about doing that?-- if it is in fact possible.

    benflorsheim, Welcome to the discussion area!
    That is not possible:
    The version of Mac OS X that comes with the MacBook is compiled to run on an Intel processor and therefore will not work on your old Mac with a PowerPC processor.
    Discs that ship with a Mac are designed for use with the Mac that they shipped with and no others.
    The licensing agreement with that disc allows you to only install it on one Mac... your MacBook.

  • New Nano – Old Comp

    Hi Gang,
    I just got a new 8GB ipod nano, and was heartbroken to discover that I could not use it with my ancient Win2K comp Why would Apple require that I upgrade my Microsoft OS? Shouldn't I be able to use my ipod with any 32-bit OS that supports USB? Besides upgrading to XP or Vista, what does Apple recommend that I do in order to enjoy this expensive, yet currently useless, piece of hardware?
    Thanks in advance guys!

    Why would Apple require that I upgrade my Microsoft OS?
    Newer versions of iTunes are required to communicate with newer iPods, and these versions aren't written for older OSes.
    Shouldn't I be able to use my ipod with any 32-bit OS that supports USB?
    Only as an external USB drive.
