Operatingsystem and itunes to old for my ipod...

Hi there!
Since a few days i'm a proud owner of an ipod classic, 120 gb. I used to have an old classic one, 20 gb with harddisc, it crashed a few years ago.. Annieway, we bought a new one and i synced songs from the pc-itunes with the ipod. Happy as i was i walked to my old mac, wanted to connect the ipod so i could transfer all my old and forgotten songs from the macitunes to the ipod.
Unfortunately (and i could have guessed...) it didn't work. The ipod reguires OS X 4.huppelepuptiger and my old mac has OSX 3.huppelepup... As innocent as i am i tried to find an upgrade but were would the world be without asking money for such new operatingsystem. Annieway: I thought, maybe if I install the newest version of Itunes it would help.. But ofcourse.. that only works with OS X 4.huppelepuptiger...
Does anybody know how i could transfer my oldschool songs from my oldschoolmac (imac g4) onto my highnewtec ipod??? It would be so much fun....
Sorry if the words are spelled in a wrong way sometimes, but i think you'll all understand what the problem is!
thank you for helping me!

Why don't you move the iTunes music from your Mac, using a thumb drive, external drive or even your Classic (activate disk mode when connected to your PC) and add them to that library.

    It's not just iTunes you need to update...
    You need to upgrade to Leopard v10.5.8 at the very least in order to sync, restore, and backup an iPod touch.
    See iPod touch system requirements here.
    Leopard is available from Amazon here.

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

    Connect your iPod to any computer with iTunes installed, highlight your device and try syncing the apps only. If it doesn't work might have to restore through iTunes. With the new iTunes and iCloud beta, you can have the iTunes list what apps are missing on your device but if you had previously purchased in the past and then have iTunes install them. You should always get in the habit of backing up your iPhone whenever you do any firmware/OS updating/upgrading or transferring over to new device. I really really really really hope you can get back at least some of your old info. I will tell you this, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not routinely backing up my iPhone when my beautiful special iPhone 4 came up missing and had to revert back to my 3GS. iPhone 5 will be released in a few months so I am holding off on purchasing a new iPhone til then, not that I did so without reservation and a little bit of iPhone 4 withdraw.

  • Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes... getting beyond P/Oed!!!

    Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera or something.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes - updated iTunes completely demolished my computer's ability to recognize the sound card and computer had NO sound at all.  I had to uninstall iTunes, QT, AND my sound card and reinstall them all.  Sound worked fine, but now I can't sync my iPod.  Computer recognizes that "something" is hooked up (thinks it might possibly be a camera) and I get that "open with" window.  In "my computer" it shows that there is an "iPod" connected, but it is pictured as a camera.  In iTunes my username is no longer appearing (although account info is there) and NO devices whatsoever get listed.  There is nothing wrong with my USB ports or cable.  And of course Apple won't help anyone unless you pay them to. ... I am getting beyond P/Oed!!!  You pay hundreds for a product and all you get are headaches with their stupid bug infested software and no support at all.
    Can anyone out there help me clean up this unbelievable mess Apple and iTunes has created in my computer?
    Thank you.

    After three completely wasted days trying to figure all of this out I finally got it fixed - on my own - by reading dozens and dozens of rogue posts in indie forums from people that refuse to dish out money to have a company TRY and advise possible fixes on their own glitches.
    (here's a novel idea - fix the glitches Apple.  Or - don't send out updates filled with bugs in the first place)
    Everything (several applications) had to be uninstalled in a very specific order and then restarted , then it all had to be verified with manual deletions of leftovers, and emptying the recycle bin, then another restart, then iT had to be reinstalled again and the system restarted again, and two more update downloads. Holy!!!
    I love my little iPod touch, but I honestly must say, when this kind of thing happens (and it has several times now when I try to deal with iTunes or Apple), it makes me want to flush it down the toilet.

    Hi Moclam12,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPod classic is formatted for Windows, and you want to sync it with your Mac, try to force the iPod into Disk Mode and then restore it using your Mac.

    You need to be running Mac OS X 10.5 or newer to get iTunes 10. This OS version won't run on a G3.
    Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 are available on DVD. Mac OS X 10.6 requires an Intel Mac.

  • My Computer and Itunes will not recognize my ipod

    I recently had to reinstall itunes on my computer. Now, my computer and itunes won't recognize my ipod. But I can change it from my computer. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? I would really like to update my ipod!
    Thanks.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

    in order to restore your songs and apps, you should just reconnect to itunes and sync your data. your phone ran a backup before it upgraded, and you can also do a restore. but the key is still to go to your itunes and sync back to your phone what you wanted there in the first place.
